Most amino acids lose their nitrogen atom by a transamination reaction in which the -NH2 group of the amino acid changes places with the keto group of ct-ketoglutarate. The products are a new a-keto acid plus glutamate. The overall process occurs in two parts, is catalyzed by aminotransferase enzymes, and involves participation of the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), a derivative of pyridoxine (vitamin UJ. Different aminotransferases differ in their specificity for amino acids, but the mechanism remains the same. 

Influence of Metal Ions on Oxygen Chemisorption and Ignition of Chars. We have carried out extensive studies of the influence of metal ions in wood on pyrolysis mechanisms (5.6) and this approach has now been extended to oxygen chemisorption of the chars. The metal ions occur in wood predominantly as the counterions of the uronic acid components of the hemicelluloses (12). We have shown that they can be almost completely removed by very mild acid treatment without any other major change in the chemistry of the wood. Table II shows that the major metal ions in cottonwood are Ca, K and Mg. The acid-washing process removed 98X of the metal ions in... 

The foregoing review of the alkylation mechanism and the influence of the catalyst type and reaction conditions show that, in essence, the chemistry is identical with all the examined acid catalysts, liquid and solid. Differences in the importance of individual reaction steps originate from the variety of possible structures and distributions of acid sites of solid catalysts. Changing process parameters induces similar effects with each of the catalysts however, the sensitivity to a particular parameter depends strongly on the catalyst. All the acids deactivate by the formation of unsaturated polymers, which are strongly bound to the acid. 

Liquid acid-catalyzed processes are mature technologies, which are not expected to undergo dramatic changes in the near future. Solid acid-catalyzed alkylation now has been developed to a point where the technology can compete with the existing processes. Catalyst regeneration by hydrogen treatment is the method of choice in all the process developments. Some of the process developments eliminate most if not all the drawbacks of the liquid acid processes. The verdict about whether solid acid-catalyzed processes will be applied in the near future will be determined primarily by economic issues. 

However, further a possibility of the formation of several different reaction products in similar processes was reported [97-99]. With the help of microwave irradiation and ultrasonication, the problem of selectivity was also touched in these communications. It was found that three-component reaction of equimolar mixture of 5-amino-Al-arylpyrazole-4-carboxamides, aldehydes, and cyclic (3-diketones in DMF under conventional thermal heating or under microwave irradiation at 150°C yielded pyrazoloquinazolines 68. The treatment at room temperature under ultrasonication gave the same reaction products, although addition of catalytic amounts of hydrochloric acid changed direction and positional isomeric quinazolines 69 were only isolated in this case. 

The scope of the present study is to investigate the time extension of the conventional and the advanced CPS deactivation methods. Moreover, the impact of the deposited metals and their oxidation state during laboratory deactivation on the final properties of the deactivated samples is under research. The correlation of acidity changes during the deactivation with the catalytic performance is inquired for the understanding of the complex phenomenon of deactivation due to interrelation of the several variables in the process. 

The Nippon Mining Co. refinery in Japan, which had previously used D2EHPA to extract cobalt from solutions obtained in the leaching of a mixed cobalt—nickel sulfide in sulfuric acid, changed in 1978 to the new extractant 2-ethylhexyl 2-ethylhexylphosphonate enabling a much-improved selectivity for cobalt over nickel to be obtained.8990 The process is carried out in three counter-current stages with an organic solution of phosphonic acid that has been converted to the ammonium salt by contact with aqueous ammonia ... 

The change in the ascorbic acid concentration of juice during acid reduction processing is illustrated in Figure 7. 

The acid or base strength is defined by comparing the interaction between the sites and reference (probe) molecules. For example, the acid strength is the ability of the site to convert an adsorbed reference neutral base into its conjugate acid. This process may be monitored by following the colour changes of the indicators or by such techniques as IR or NMR spectroscopies. Several criteria must be considered in the selection of these probes their pK value must be adapted to the acidity or basicity of the surface under study the size of the probe molecules should ensure that all sites are readily accessible finally, the probe should be selected so that its interaction with the surface is easily studied by the available experimental techniques. Catalytic test reactions are sometimes used... 

Hydration to Orthophosphoric Acid.—The process of depolymerisa-tion of concentrated solutions of pyrophosphoric acid which has already been noted very likely consists in the hydration of the molecules of condensed or poly-acid. The further hydration, with formation of orthophosphoric acid, proceeds only slowly at low temperatures and in dilute solutions. A dilute aqueous solution was kept for six months without change.7 The velocity of the reaction has been followed by...
