Electrochemical Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass Amination of Furfural and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Donkeng Dazie, Joel; Koláčná, Lucie; Urban, Jiří; Lamač, Martin; Ludvík, Jiří
2024 - anglický Furfural (FF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) isolated from waste lignocellulosic biomass represent renewable sources. The present contribution deals with the transformation of FF and HMF into furfuryl amines which are important precursors namely for pharmaceutical synthesis. First, FF and HMF underwent condensation reactions with various amines which were electrochemically monitored to optimize the process. The resulting Schiff bases were identified by NMR and subsequently electrochemically reduced in basic media. The vicinal diamine (aminopinacol) was the main product besides the expected furfuryl amines. This reaction is a contribution to green synthesis because it was performed electrochemically, in water, and without any metallic catalysts.

Electrochemical Properties of Newly Synthesized Selaginpulvilins
Dostálová, L.; Sokolová, Romana; Schwarzová-Pecková, K.; Rýček, L.
2024 - anglický The electrochemical properties of newly synthesized selaginpulvilin were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry. The subject of the study were two\nselaginpulvilins differing in the presence of a hydroxyl group in the media of 0.1 mol L-1 tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate as supporting electrolyte in anhydrous acetonitrile. Both\ncompounds provided an oxidative signal in the positive region until +2.0 V.

3D-printed Electrodes with Nearly Ideal Charge Transfer Characteristics
Vaněčková, Eva; Sebechlebská, Táňa; Kolivoška, Viliam
2024 - anglický 3D printing is an outstanding manufacturing tool for prototyping customized designs at reduced time and costs, having found applications in fields such as medicine or the automotive industry. The development of printable electrically conductive composite materials brought a revolution to electrochemistry, with 3D-printed electrodes being intensively studied from the viewpoint of\nanalytical performance and stability. However, it is often reported that 3D-printed electrodes have poor charge transfer characteristics, typically due to limited exposure of the electrically conductive phase at the composite surface to the surrounding solution. In this work, we devise and apply simple electrochemical activation procedures that lead to a significant improvement of charge transfer characteristics of 3D printed electrodes.

Numerical study of the steady airflow in the human respiratory system during inhaling and exhaling
Lancmanová, Anna; Bodnár, Tomáš
2024 - anglický This paper presents some of the initial results of the numerical simulations of a steady turbulent flow in human upper airways during inhalation and exhalation. The mathematical model is based on the system of Reynolds-Averaged incompressible Navier-Stokes equations complemented by the SST k − ω turbulence model. The simulations were performed using finite-volume open source solver OpenFOAM on a realistic three-dimensional geometry. The main aim of this particular study is to verify the computational setup with special focus on appropriate choice and implementation of boundary conditions. The prescribed boundary conditions are chosen to mimic the physiological conditions during normal breathing cycle. This study aims to gain an insight into the airflow behavior during the inhalation and exhalation process by comparing the results of two distinct simulations corresponding to two different (opposite) flow rates . The obtained local flow rates and flow fields for both cases are presented and mutually compared. This initial work should serve as a foundation for future more complex simulations that will include the time-dependent and compressible effects.
