Synthesis of Methyl Sorbate Catalyzed by Deep Eutectic Solvent Based on Choline Chloride: Kinetics and Optimization

The synthesis process and kinetics of the esterification of methanol with sorbic acid catalyzed by deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were explored in this study. A series of green DESs composed of choline chloride (ChCl) and p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA) were successfully prepared. Design and optimization of the process were conducted using the response surface methodology with Box-Behnen design. The influences of the value of z (z is the molar ratio of PTSA to ChCl), catalyst loading, methanol/sorbic acid molar ratio, and temperature on the conversion of sorbic acid were evaluated. Using ChCl-1.38PTSA as a catalyst, the kinetic data and chemical equilibrium compositions of the esterification were measured at a temperature range of 340.15–355.15 K. The UNIFAC model was utilized to estimate the equilibrium constants, and the thermodynamic data (ΔrH0, ΔrS0, ΔrG0) of the esterification reaction were calculated as well. The pseudohomogeneous model based on activity was then adopted to describe the reaction kinetics and the model fitted well with the experimental data. The activation energy of the forward and reverse reaction were calculated. In addition, the activity of ChCl-1.38PTSA declined not obviously after five cycles, suggesting that ChCl-1.38PTSA has good stability and recyclability

Technical Report No. 2014-1 : Measuring Ocean Winds from Space Using a Radar Satellite (AU-CAS-MathStats)

The goal of this project is to develop and validate image processing algorithms for measuring wind direction over the ocean. We plan to use wind truth data from (1) oceanographic buoys and other anchored sensors and (2) wind measurements from other satellite sensors to validate our SAR-derived wind direction estimates. Both of these sources of truth data are of necessarily lower resolution than what is available from TerraSAR-X. It is worth noting that buoy validation is already routinely done against the ASCAT sensor [14]. Our collection campaign centers on several buoys described in the NOAA’s database [20]. We are using the resulting concurrent data stream for validation of spectral shape, but have not completely validated the recovery of wind direction from the image.</p

An Unusual Three-Dimensional Water Cluster in Metal−Organic Frameworks Based on ZnX₂ (X = ClO₄, BF₄) and an Azo-Functional Ligand

A highly symmetrical three-dimensional (3D) water network containing cage-shaped tetradecameric water cluster units (H2O)14 is observed in the crystalline 3D metal−organic framework materials 1 and 2. This is a rare demonstration of a 3D water clathrate network trapped in a cavity of a 3D metal−organic framework, and there are no classical hydrogen bonding interactions within the skeleton of the metal−organic framework
