Abstract Furfural is a biomass derived-chemical that can be used to replace petrochemicals. In this study, dilute sulphuric acid hydrolysis was used for hemicelluloses secession from birch wood. The reaction was investigated at different biomass treatment times (10-90 min, increasing it by 10 min). We found that the greatest amount of furfural 1.4-2.6%, which is 9.7-17.7% from theoretical possible yield, was formed in the first 30 min of the beginning of birch wood pentoses monosaccharide dehydration, but the greatest yield of furfural 10.3%, which is 70.0% from the theoretical yield, can be obtained after 90 min. Given that furfural yield generally does not exceed 50% from the theoretical amount, the result can be considered as very good.

In this study, a new dilute sulphuric acid hydrolysis method was used for hemicelluloses secession from birch wood. The furfural extraction was investigated at different process temperatures (132°C ‑ 162°C, increasing it by 5°C) and at constant amount of catalyst 3.0%, calculated on oven‑dried wood. The greatest amount of furfural 11.09%, which is 75.6% from the theoretical possible yield, was formed at temperature 147°C after 90 min from the beginning of the birch wood pentoses monosaccharides dehydration process.

Ethanol fermented from potato peels is proposed as one alternative source of renewable energy called bioethanol. In this research bioethanol was produced through four stages namely acid hydrolysis, detoxification, fermentation and distillation. The acid hydrolysis process was carried out using sulphuric acid at 100oC for 60 minutes. The detoxification process was carried out by adding NH4OH into the hydrolyzate prior to fermentation. Distillation was performed up to 100oC and the distillate with the BP of 78-84oC was determined for its ethanol content using gas chromatography. The ethanol produced from 5 grams of dried potato peels through fermentation for 4, 5, 6, and 7 days 3.54%; 4,85%; 5,35%; and 6.15% respectively.

Treatment of cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triyl tris(p-toluenesulphonate) with sodium azide in dimethyl-formamide at 100� for 6 h gave the corresponding cis,cis-triazide which upon hydrogenation or reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triamine, isolated as the tris-salicylidene derivative. Acid hydrolysis of this, removal of the salicylaldehyde, and treatment of the aqueous solution with sodium carbonate and 2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride gave r-1,c-5,c- 9-tris(2,3-dimethoxybenzamido)cyclododecane. ��� Treatment of (E,E,E)-cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene with an excess of acetonitrile and sulphuric acid at room temperature for three days gave 18% of (E,E)-1-acetamidocyclododeca-4,8-diene; no di- or tri-amides were isolated.

<p class="BodyAbstract">Rice bran is one among many agricultural by-products containing ~50-60 wt.% of carbohydrate. The carbohydrate is a prominent sugar source for bioethanol production. The objective of this research was to study bioethanol production from rice bran by acid and enzymatic treatment. The variations of acid used were dilute hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid, while variations of enzyme used were amylolytic and cellulolytic enzyme. Ethanol production of acid-hydrolyzed rice bran was 24.95±1.61% (v/v) by hydrochloric acid and 29.57±2.04% (v/v) by sulphuric acid. Ethanol produced by enzymatic hydrolysis was quite low i.e. 6.7±0.04%, and 8.86±0.29% (v/v) for amylolytic and cellulolytic hydrolysate, respectively.</p><p class="BodyAbstract"> </p><p>Keywords: Bioethanol, rice bran, acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis</p>

AbstractThe debris of olive pruning is a renewable, low-cost and widely available agricultural waste. Its biochemical conversion by hydrolysis and fermentation was undertaken in the present study. Diluted acid hydrolysis was conducted in a heterogeneous stirred tank reactor at 90°C and at a low sulphuric acid concentration (0.0–1.0 N) for 300 min. To increase thed-xylose/d-glucose ratio into the hydrolysate, in another experiment amorphous cellulose and extracts were removed by means of a pretreatment in an extruder with 1 N H2SO4at 70°C before the acid hydrolysis. The fermentation of hydrolysates was performed under microaerobic conditions in a batch bioreactor at 30°C and pH 5 withCandida tropicalisNBRC 0618. The controlled fermentation parameters included maximum specific growth rate, biomass productivity, rate of the specific substrate uptake, rates of specific ethanol and xylitol production, and overall yield of ethanol and xylitol. In the presence of 1.0 N H2SO4, the fermentation of the pretreated hydrolysate led to specific xylitol production rates and overall xylitol yield (0.1 g g-1 h for t=25 h; 0.49 g g-1, respectively) higher than those achieved without pretreatment (0.03 g g-1 h for t=25 h; 0.39 g g-1, respectively). Under these conditions, 53 g xylitol kg-1of dry olive-pruning debris was obtained from the pretreated culture, whereas without pretreatment 70 g ethanol and 34 g xylitol were recovered.

SUMMARY A new chromatographic procedure for determining small amounts of pregnanediol in urine is described. The method involves (1) acid hydrolysis, (2) toluene extraction, (3) a new permanganate oxidation step, (4) chromatography on alumina columns, (5) acetylation, (6) further chromatography on alumina, and (7) colorimetry after developing a colour with sulphuric acid. The method is considered under the headings of specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and convenience. The significance of results obtained from male, proliferative phase female, and post-menopausal urine is discussed.
