    Liquid–liquid equilibria for trioctylamine/1-dodecanol/citric acid/water system at 303.1 and 308.1 K: Experimental data and prediction
    (American Chemical Society, 2020) Murcia-Montalvo, Laura; Pérez, Alan; Fontalvo, Javier
    The present work experimentally tests the liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of aqueous citric acid (CA) solutions with trioctylamine (TOA) in 1-dodecanol at 303.2 and 308.2 K. A predictive model has been developed based on the experimental data. This model considers the physical dissolution of CA and complexation with TOA. At low CA concentrations, the stoichiometric ratio of acid/amine is (1:1). However, the acid/amine ratios of (1:1), (1:2), and (2:1) are present at high CA concentrations. The equilibrium constants for the different complexes were determined and compared to previous studies, which employed other organic solvents. The equilibrium constants obtained in this study are comparatively higher, making 1-dodecanol an attractive solvation medium. Also, the literature presents LLE experiments with contact times from minutes to hours. Because of this lack of consensus, this work displays experimental evidence to suggest contact and settling times required for experimental evaluation of the equilibria in liquid–liquid systems based on the standard deviation.

    Liquid extraction with immobilized liquids for product recovery from fermentation broths
    (Elsevier, 2022) Pérez, Alan; Gössi, Angelo; Riedl, Wolfgang; Schuur, Boelo; Fontalvo, Javier; Thatoi, Hrudayanath; Mohapatra, Sonali; Das, Swagat Kumar
    Nowadays, many fermentation chemicals are produced at an industrial scale. Numerous technological improvements have been developed and implemented to achieve high quality and quantity of fermentation products. However, several drawbacks in fermentation processes still limit their application at an industrial level. In situ product removal (ISPR) is a potential alternative to overcome the conventional drawbacks of the fermentative processes, increasing the fermentation's productivity and reducing the separation steps for recovery and purification. Currently, liquid extraction has emerged as a promising separation technology for ISPR, with immobilized liquids such as membrane-assisted extraction and microchannel liquid membrane, due to the high mass transfer rates, scalability, easy integration, and efficiency. This chapter will discuss these technologies regarding their integration into fermentative processes.

    Environmentally relevant UV-light weathering of polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics promotes hepatotoxicity in a human cell line
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Englert, Felix H.; Mueller, Fabrice A.; Dugershaw-Kurzer, Battuja; Kissling, Vera M.; Boentges, Sarah; Gupta, Govind S.; Fontana, Gabriele A.; Diedrich, Sabine; Suter-Dick, Laura; Sturla, Shana J.; Buerki-Thurnherr, Tina
    Environmentally-relevant concentrations of UV-weathered polystyrene micro and nanoplastics induce hepatotoxicity and considerable changes in gene expression of liver disease-relevant pathways.

    Determination of active ingredients in formulated plant protection products by UHPLC-UV/MS
    (Springer, 04.10.2022) Erdin, Yves; Schlotterbeck, Götz; Mink, Christian
    The market for plant protection products (PPPs) is one of the most regulated. With increasing regulations for registering PPPs, its requirements take more effort and more testing. Meanwhile, there is also an increasing market for illegal PPPs. While legally registered PPPs are thoroughly tested and documented, illegal PPPs are sold upfront without any testing (e.g., tox, aqua tox, eco tox). This bears additional risk for the users, the ecosystem and the public. There are many well established analytical methods and protocols to analyse soil, plant products as well as for food and beverage, but less for PPPs. Many methods need laborious sample preparation and extraction steps like QuEChERS and/or advanced mass spectrometry techniques. Here we present a method developed to identify active ingredients (AIs) which is easy to apply at relatively cheap costs and widely available instrumentation. It provides a straightforward set-up for sample preparation and analysis, without the need for elaborative sample preparation. The method validation showed sufficient linearity, repeatability and specificity to use this method for screening of samples taken from market control for counterfeit or cross contamination checks.

    Electrochemical membrane-assisted pH-swing extraction and back-extraction of lactic acid
    (Elsevier, 2022) Gausmann, Marcel; Bertram, Franziska; Schuur, Boelo; Jupke, Andreas; Gössi, Angelo; Riedl, Wolfgang
    Reactive extraction of carboxylic acids such as lactic acid with tertiary amines is a state-of-the-art process but suffers strongly from reduced extraction efficiency in buffered environments like fermentation broths. In order to increase the efficiency of in-situ product removal, we here propose the combination of a membrane-assisted reactive extraction with an electrochemical pH shift. Prior to extraction in the membrane module, the fermentation broth containing the lactic acid at neutral pH is treated by anodic electrolysis to reduce the pH and thereby improve the extraction yield. Additionally, the cathodic reaction is used to increase the pH of the aqueous stream used for back-extraction of the loaded organic phase. Model solutions were used to develop a mathematical model, capable of calculating the required membrane area for in-situ extractions, considering the effect of the aqueous pH on the extraction performance. Additionally, using electrochemical pH shift, we were able to concentrate lactic acid from 1 wt% in the dilute broth to 7 wt% in the back extract.
