Powders of artificial crystallites of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO$_2$(B), were synthesized by the calcination of tetratitanic acid (hydrate, $H_2Ti_4O_9H_2O$; TTA). The relating titanates, potassium octatitanate ($K_2Ti_8O_{17}$) and octatitanic acid($H_2Ti_8O_{17}$), were also prepared. These powders, loaded with small amount of Pt, were suspended in an aqueous solution of 2-propanol and irradiated under argon atmosphere at 298 K + 0.5 deg. All the photocatalysts tested in this study produced almost equimolar amount of acetone and molecular hydrogen (H$_2$). Among them TiO$_2$(B) and TYA showed the higher photocatalytic activity but rather lower than commercial titanium(IV) oxide (TiO$_2$) powders. The photocatalytic activity of TiO$_2$(B) for 2-propanol dehydrogenation in deaerated aqueous suspension increased with the elevating calcination temperature. Comparison of rate of H$_2$ formation from methanol and 2-propanol solutions by the TiO$_2$(B) photocatalyst suggested a possibility of selection of substrate with its molecular size by TiO$_2$(B)

A series of new hydridocarbonyl osmium(Ⅱ) complexes, OsHCl(CO)(PPh3)(L-L)[L-L=Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 (n=1 (1), 2 (2), 3 (3), cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 (4), and Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)2 (5)] has been synthesized from OsHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 and chelating diphosphines. These complexes have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The catalytic activities of these complexes both for the transfer hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde with 2-propanol as the hydrogen donor, and for the selective hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde with H2, have been examined. Complexes (1)-(5) were shown to have higher selectivities for the transfer hydrogenation of the C=O bond of aldehyde than for the transfer hydrogenation of the C=C bond of aldehyde. The selectivities for the transfer hydrogenation with 2-propanol as well as for the hydrogenation with H2 have been found to decrease in the order 3 > 5 > 2 > 4 > 1. Complex (3) has shown to possess almost 90% of the selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol for transfer hydrogenation. It is also found that there is a correlation between the ν(CO) of each complex and the hydrogenation, of the C=O bond of trans-cinnamaldehyde. Overall, the selectivities with the complexes (1)-(5) are greater for the transfer hydrogenation with 2-propanol than for the hydrogenation with H2.

CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) processes have become essential for creating multilayered component structures in semiconductor manufacturing. Typically, the slurry composition in CMP processes involves a balance of three components such as ceria, dispersant, and deionized water. In this study, we conducted research on the stability of ceria slurries using an amphoteric surfactant with controlled concentrations of AMP (2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol). The results indicated pH stabilization influenced by carboxylic (-COOH) groups depending on the AMP concentration. Additionally, there was no occurrence of aggregation in the ceria slurry, confirming the absence of dispersion stability issues.

Erythronium japonicum (E. japonicum) and Corylopsis coreana Uyeki (C. coreana Uyeki, Korean winter hazel) have been shown to significantly decrease 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP)-induced generation of reactive oxygen species and CYP2E1 activity in HuH7, human hepatocytes. In this study, we expanded upon the previous study and investigated the effects of E. japonicum and C. coreana Uyeki extracts on 1,3-DCP-induced liver damage in rats. The pre-treatment of rats with these extracts alleviated a decrease in body weight and reduced 1,3-DCP-induced increase in catalytic activities of hepatic enzymes, such as aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, in the serum. Moreover, treatment with the extracts restored the 1,3-DCP-induced decreases in anti-oxidant enzyme activities, such as the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, in the rat liver. Histopathological studies also strongly supported the results of enzyme activities. These results suggest a possibility that the extracts of E. japonicum and C. coreana Uyeki can be a remedy for alleviating 1,3-DCP-induced liver damage in animals.

Zirconium hydroxide was synthesized by varying the aging time of the zirconyl chloride octahydrate at $100^{\circ}C$ in aqueous solution and the resulting hydroxides were calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 6 h to obtain the crystalline $ZrO_2$. The materials used in this study were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$-sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), $NH_3$ temperature-programmed desorption ($NH_3$-TPD), $CO_2$-TPD and iso-propanol TPD analyses to correlate with catalytic activity for the dehydration of iso-propanol. The pure tetragonal $ZrO_2$ phase was obtained after 24 h aging of zirconium hydroxide and successive calcination at $700^{\circ}C$. The increase of aging time showed the production of smaller particle size $ZrO_2$ resulting that the higher specific surface area and total pore volume. $NH_3$-TPD results revealed that the relative acidity of the catalysts increased along with the increase of aging time. On the other hand, the results of $CO_2$-TPD showed the reverse trend of $NH_3$-TPD results. The best catalytic activity for the dehydration of iso-propanol to propylene was shown over $ZrO_2$ catalyst aged for 168 h which had the highest $S_{BET}$ ($178\;m^2\;g^{-1}$). The catalytic activity could be correlated with high surface area, relative acidity and easy desorption of iso-propanol.

The present study was carried out to investigate the potential adverse effects of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol on pregnant dams after maternal exposure during the gestational days (GD) 6 through 19 in Sprague-Dawley rats. The tested chemical was administered orally to pregnant rats at dose levels of 0, 10, 30, or 90 mg/kg/day. During the test period, clinical signs, mortality, body weights, food consumption, serum biochemistry, gross findings, organ weights, and Caesarean section findings were examined. In the 90 mg/kg group, decreases in the body weight gain and food consumption, and increases in the weights of liver and adrenal glands were observed. Serum biochemical investigations revealed increases in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and bilirubin (BIL) and decreases in glucose (GLU), albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP). In the 30 mg/kg group, a decrease in the food consumption and an increase in the liver weight were observed. Serum biochemical investigation also showed increases in CHO and TG and a decrease in glucose. Since there were no signs of maternal toxicity in the 10 mg/kg group, it is considered to be the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol. It is concluded that successive oral administration of 1,3-dichloro- 2-propanol to pregnant rats for 14 days may cause significant toxicities in body weight and liver at a dose rate ${\geq}$ 30 mg/kg/day.

The flash point is an important indicator of the flammability of a chemical. The minimum flash point behaviour (MFPB) is exhibited when the flash point of a mixture is below the flash points of the individual components. The identification of this behaviour is critical, because a hazardous situation results from taking the lowest component flash point value as the mixture flash point. In this study, the flash points for the n-butanol + n-decane and n-octane + n-propanol systems which exhibit MFPB, were measured by Tag open-cup apparatus. The experimental data were compared with the alues calculated by the Raoult's law, the van Laar equation and the Wilson equation. The calculated values based on the van Laar and Wilson equations were found to be better than those based on the Raoult's law. It was concluded that the van Laar and Wilson equations were more effective than the Raoult' law at describing the activity coefficients for non-ideal solution such as the n-butanol + n-decane and n-octane + n-propanol systems. The predictive curve of the flash point prediction model based on the Wilson equation described the experimentally-derived data more effectively than was the case when the prediction model was based upon the van Laar equation.

Tungsten oxide supported on zirconia was prepared by drying powdered $Zr(OH)_4$ with ammonium metatungstate aqueous solution, followed by calcining in air at high temperature. Upon the addition of only small amount of tungsten oxide (1 wt % $WO_3$) to $ZrO_2$, both the acidity and acid strength of catalyst increased remarkably, showing the presence of $Br{\ddot{o}}nsted$ and Lewis acid sites on the surface of $WO_3$/$ZrO_2$. The high acid strength and large amount of acid sites on $WO_3$/$ZrO_2$ were due to the presence of the W=O bond nature of complex formed by the interaction between $WO_3$ and $ZrO_2$. The catalyst containing 20 wt % $WO_3$, calcined at 973 K, showed the highest catalytic activity for the 2-propanol dehydration, while the catalyst containing 15 wt % $WO_3$, calcined at 1023 K, exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the cumene dealkylation. For the 2-propanol dehydration the catalytic activities of $WO_3$/$ZrO_2$ catalysts were roughly correlated with their acidities.

The aim of this study was to provide a basis for the molecular mechanism underlying the pharmacological action of ethanol. We studied the effects of 1-propanol on the location of n-(9-anthroyloxy)palmitic acid or stearic acid (n-AS) within the phospholipids of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV). The SPMV were isolated from the bovine cerebral cortex and liposomes of total lipids (SPMVTL) and phospholipids (SPMVPL). 1-Propanol increased the rotational mobility of inner hydrocarbons, while decreasing the mobility of membrane interface, in native and model membranes. The degree of rotational mobility varied with the number of carbon atoms at positions 16, 12, 9, 6 and 2 in the aliphatic chain of phospholipids in the neuronal and model membranes. The sensitivity of increasing or decreasing rotational mobility of hydrocarbon interior or surface by 1-propanol varied with the neuronal and model membranes in the following order: SPMV, SPMVPL and SPMVTL.

In this study, densities of water + N-Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), Water + 2-Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol (AMP), MDEA + AMP binary systems and Water+MDEA+AMP ternary system were measured over the full range of composition at temperatures from 303.15 K to 333.15 K by using an Anton Paar digital vibrating tube densimeter (DMA4500). The experimental excess volumes have been obtained from the experimental density results and have been fitted using the Redlich-Kister-Muggianu expression. The parameters obtained from the binary excess volume data were used for the correlation of ternary system with one additional ternary parameter for each isotherm. All investigated binary and ternary systems are completely miscible, because the values of excess volume are negative under the examined conditions.
