Ordinary glucose is ct-glucopyranose monohydrate m.p. 80-85°C and [ajp 4-113-4 . In solution it gives a mixture with the form with [alo 4-52-5 . It is manufactured from starch by hydrolysis with mineral acids, purification and crystallization, and is widely used in the confectionery and other food industries. It is about 70% as sweet as sucrose. 

Although MAS is very widely applied to non-integer spin quadnipolar nuclei to probe atomic-scale structure in solids, such as distinguishing AlO and AlOg enviromnents [21], simple MAS about a single axis caimot produce a completely averaged isotropic spectrum. As the second-order quadnipole interaction contains both... 

Zeolites (section C2.13) are unique because they have regular pores as part of their crystalline stmctures. The pores are so small (about 1 nm in diameter) that zeolites are molecular sieves, allowing small molecules to enter the pores, whereas larger ones are sieved out. The stmctures are built up of linked SiO and AlO tetrahedra that share O ions. The faujasites (zeolite X and zeolite Y) and ZSM-5 are important industrial catalysts. The stmcture of faujasite is represented in figure C2.7.11 and that of ZSM-5 in figure C2.7.12. The points of intersection of the lines represent Si or A1 ions oxygen is present at the centre of each line. This depiction emphasizes the zeolite framework stmcture and shows the presence of the intracrystalline pore stmcture. In the centre of the faujasite stmcture is an open space (supercage) with a diameter of about 1.2 nm. The pore stmcture is three dimensional. 

The zeolite frameworks are built up of SiO tetraliedra, which are neutral, and AlO tetraliedra, which have a charge of-1. The charge of tire AlO tetraliedra is balanced by tire charges of cations located at various crystallographically defined positions in the zeolite, many of tliem exposed at tire internal surface. The cations are... 

The traditional definition of a zeolite refers to microporous, crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates with a tliree-dimensional framework consisting of comer-linked SiO or AlO tetrahedra, although today the definition is used in a much broader sense, comprising microporous crystalline solids containing a variety of elements as tetrahedral building units. The aluminosilicate-based zeolites are represented by the empirical fonmila... 

Factors other tlian tire Si/Al ratio are also important. The alkali-fonn of zeolites, for instance, is per se not susceptible to hydrolysis of tire Al-0 bond by steam or acid attack. The concurrent ion exchange for protons, however, creates Bronsted acid sites whose AlO tetraliedron can be hydrolysed (e.g. leading to complete dissolution of NaA zeolite in acidic aqueous solutions). 

Aqueous solutions of caustic soda aie highly alkaline. Hence caustic soda is ptimatily used in neutralization reactions to form sodium salts (79). Sodium hydroxide reacts with amphotoric metals (Al, Zn, Sn) and their oxides to form complex anions such as AlO, ZnO. SnO ", and (or H2O with oxides). Reaction of AI2O2 with NaOH is the primary step during the extraction of alumina from bauxite (see Aluminum compounds) ... 

Ca.sca.ra. Sagrada. Cascara sagrada, also known as sacred bark, chitten, dogwood, coffeeberry, bearberry, bitter bark, and bearwood, is the dried bark of Jdamnus Purshiana DeCandoUe. It is ia the form of browa, purpHsh browa, or brownish red flattened or transversely curved pieces, 1- to 5-mm thick, and has a characteristic odor and bitter taste. It should be collected at least one year prior to use. The active constituents are aloe-emodin... 

The electron can be trapped, for example by an interstitial which is converted to an H atom. The AlO is the hole color center which absorbs light and gives the color to smoky quart2. Bleaching is the result of thermal energy releasing the trapped electron, which then produces the reverse of reaction 1. The amethyst color center in quart2 is exactly like the smoky, except that Fe " replaces. ...
