TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to establish the mechanism of transesterification enhancement by discriminating between physical and chemical effects of ultrasound and found that influence of ultrasound on transesterion reaction is of purely physical nature.
Abstract: Acceleration of the transesterification reaction for synthesis of biodiesel by application of ultrasound is known. This paper tries to establish the mechanism of this enhancement by discriminating between physical and chemical effects of ultrasound. Experiments with different conditions have been coupled to a bubble dynamics model. It is revealed that influence of ultrasound on transesterification reaction is of purely physical nature. Formation of fine emulsion between oil and alcohol due to microturbulence generated by cavitation bubbles generates enormous interfacial area, which accelerates the reaction. For the power input used in the present experiments, the temperature peak reached in transient collapse of cavitation bubble in methanol is found to be too low to produce any radical species, which can induce transesterification reaction. The yield of the reaction is found to have an optimum with respect to alcohol to oil molar ratio. This result is attributed to the difference in intensity of microtur...

TL;DR: A synthetic study and mechanistic proposal on the conversion of aromatic aldehyde, amine, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of BDMS leads to the formation of Mannich-type product A when R is a non-enolizable carbon or an alkoxy group.
Abstract: 1,3-Dicarbonyl compounds can be converted to Mannich-type products A or highly functionalized piperidines B in the presence of a catalytic amount of bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (BDMS). The combination of aromatic aldehyde, amine, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of BDMS leads to the formation of Mannich-type product A when R is a non-enolizable carbon or an alkoxy group, whereas in cases when R = CH3, the same combination yielded highly functionalized piperidines B. A synthetic study and mechanistic proposal are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and modeling of the separation of oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions using low cost ceramic membrane that was prepared from inorganic precursors such as kaolin, quartz, feldspar, sodium carbonate, boric acid and sodium metasilicate was addressed.
Abstract: This work addresses the performance and modeling of the separation of oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions using low cost ceramic membrane that was prepared from inorganic precursors such as kaolin, quartz, feldspar, sodium carbonate, boric acid and sodium metasilicate. Synthetic o/w emulsions constituting 125 and 250 mg/L oil concentrations were subjected to microfiltration (MF) using this membrane in batch mode of operation with varying trans-membrane pressure differentials (ΔP) ranging from 68.95 to 275.8 kPa. The membrane exhibited 98.8% oil rejection efficiency and 5.36 × 10−6 m3/m2 s permeate flux after 60 min of experimental run at 68.95 kPa trans-membrane pressure and 250 mg/L initial oil concentration. These experimental investigations confirmed the applicability of the prepared membrane in the treatment of o/w emulsions to yield permeate streams that can meet stricter environmental legislations (
