Pure and mixed gas acetone/nitrogen permeation properties of polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS]

Abstract: The permeability of polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS] to acetone, nitrogen, and acetone/nitrogen mixtures has been determined at 28°C. In pure gas experiments, the permeability of PDMS to nitrogen was 245 × 10−10 cm3(STP) · cm/cm2 · s · cmHg and was independent of pressure. The permeability of PDMS to acetone vapor increased exponentially with increasing acetone pressure. PDMS is much more permeable to acetone than to nitrogen; acetone/nitrogen selectivity increases from 85 to 185 as acetone partial pressure in the feed increases from 0 to 67% of saturation. In mixed gas permeation experiments, the nitrogen permeability coefficient is independent of acetone relative pressure and is equal to the pure gas permeability coefficient. The acetone permeability coefficient has the same value in both mixed gas and pure acetone permeation experiments. Average acetone diffusivity in PDMS, determined as the ratio of permeability to solubility, decreases with increasing acetone concentration due to mild clustering of acetone in the polymer (because acetone is a poor solvent for PDMS) and changes in the polymer–penetrant thermodynamic interactions which influence diffusion coefficients. A Zimm–Lundberg analysis of the acetone sorption isotherm is also consistent with acetone clustering in PDMS. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 36: 289–301, 1998

W18O49/Ti3C2Tx Mxene nanocomposites for highly sensitive acetone gas sensor with low detection limit

Abstract: The development of gas sensor that is capable of detecting ppb-level detection of acetone and possesses high response toward low-concentration acetone remains a great challenge. Herein, we present the construction of the W18O49/Ti3C2Tx composites based on the in situ grown of the 1D W18O49 nanorods (NRs) on the surfaces of the 2D Ti3C2Tx Mxene sheets via a facile solvothermal process. The W18O49/Ti3C2Tx composites exhibit high response to low concentration acetone (11.6 to 20 ppm acetone), ideal selectivity, long-term stability, very low limit of detection of 170 ppb acetone, and fast response and recover rates (5.6/6 s to 170 ppb acetone). Compared to the W18O49 NRs and Ti3C2Tx sheets, the W18O49/Ti3C2Tx composites show significant improvement on the acetone-sensing performance, which can be ascribed to the homogeneous distribution of the W18O49 NRs on the Ti3C2Tx surface, the removal of the fluorine-containing groups from the Ti3C2Tx after the solvothermal process, and the synergistic interfacial interactions between the W18O49 NRs and the Ti3C2Tx sheets. The synthesis of the 1D/2D W18O49/Ti3C2Tx Mxene composites provides a new avenue to develop other promising hybrids for acetone sensing.

Universal sample preparation method integrating trichloroacetic acid/acetone precipitation with phenol extraction for crop proteomic analysis

Abstract: Crop plants contain large amounts of secondary compounds that interfere with protein extraction and gel-based proteomic analysis. Thus, a protein extraction protocol that can be easily applied to various crop materials with minimal optimization is essential. Here we describe a universal protocol for total protein extraction involving trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone precipitation followed by SDS and phenol extraction. Through SDS extraction, the proteins precipitated by the TCA/acetone treatment can be fully resolubilized and then further purified by phenol extraction. This protocol combines TCA/acetone precipitation, which aggressively removes nonprotein compounds, and phenol extraction, which selectively dissolves proteins, resulting in effective purification of proteins from crop tissues. This protocol can also produce high-quality protein preparations from various recalcitrant tissues, and therefore it has a wide range of applications in crop proteomic analysis. Designed to run on a small scale, this protocol can be completed within 5 h.

Oxide-catalyzed conversion of acetic acid into acetone: an FTIR spectroscopic investigation

Abstract: Adsorptive and catalytic interactions of gas phase acetic acid with surfaces of alumina, titania and ceria were observed by in situ Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy on heating from room temperature up to 400 °C. The results revealed that, on alumina the acid was irreversibly, non-dissociatively adsorbed in the form of hydrogen-bonded molecules, and dissociatively in the form of bidentate bound acetate species over the full range of temperature scanned. In the gas phase, no chemical change was observed. On titania, the gas phase remained unchanged on heating up to 300 °C, but at 400 °C the acetic acid was largely converted into acetone (as well as CO 2 and H 2 O) and minor products of isobutene and methane. Similar changes to the gas phase were observed on ceria, however, at 300 °C. The acetic acid conversion on ceria was almost complete. The appearance of acetone molecules in the gas phase was pertained by the emergence of IR absorptions implying the formation on the surface of unsaturated carbonyl species. Thus, the formation of these surface species, together with isobutene and CH 4 molecules in the gas phase, was considered consequent to the occurrence of further surface reactions of acetone molecules. Observance of structural and chemical stability of the surface and bulk of TiO 2 and CeO 2 throughout the reaction was taken to emphasize the catalytic nature of the acetic acid conversion into acetone in the gas phase, a process that is evidently more simple and economic than the conventional pyrolytic synthesis of acetone from metal acetate compounds in the solid state. The catalytic sites were suggested to be Lewis acid–base pair sites, with the Lewis acid sites (Ti 4+ or Ce 4+ ) being reducible. Mechanistic pathways were proposed for the observed adsorptive and catalytic interactions of acetic acid molecules on the test oxides.
