Moisture rapid

The phosphorus pentoxide is introduced into a small distilling flask (200 c.c.) attached to a short condenser. As the pentoxide absorbs moisture rapidly and becomes sticky, it is convenient to push the neck of the distilling flask through a cork which fits the phosphorus pentoxide bottle, and then to shake in the oxide until the required weight is obtained. The powdered acetamide is immediately introduced and shaken up, and the mixture distilled over a small flame, which is constantly moved about. Add to the distillate about half its volume of water, and then solid potassium carbonate, until no more dissolves. The upper layer of liquid, which consists of methyl cyanide, is separated and distilled over a little fresh phosphorus pentoxide with thermometer. Yield, about 5 grams. 

The total assembly time, from the applieation of the adhesive to entry into the hot press, ranges from 20 to 40 minutes. For part of that time the glue is exposed and can lose moisture rapidly. The viseosity of the glue and other adhesive characteristics change over time and the bonding strength after curing in the hot press is influenced by sueh factors. Automated layup minimizes open assembly and total assembly times.

Figures 3, 4, and 5 show that the study bundles dried very rapidly during what was a very hot and dry first monthly period extending from late July to late August. Bundles from each stand type lost moisture rapidly over this first period, with the first-thinning stand decreasing by 104.5 percentage points to 22.8% (db) moisture content. The second thinning and mature stand bundle moisture content values decreased to 68.7 and 29.6% (db), for respective percentage point decreases of 12.4 and 19.8%.

Phosphorus pentoxid—Phosphoric anhydride Phosphoric oxid —PaOj—142—is formed when P is burned in an excess of dry O. It is a white, flooculent solid, which has almost as great a tendency to combine with HjO as has P2O3. It absorbs moisture rapidly, deliquescing to a highly acid liquid, containing, not phosphoric, but metaphosphoric acid. It is used as a drying agent. 

Both catalysts are especially suitable for the KR of benzylic alcohols (eq 1). Cl-PIQ is generally more catal)dically active and achieves good to excellent enantioselectivity (selectivity factors s in the 30-100 range), while BTM is much more enantioselective (s in the 100-350 range). Both propionic and isobutyric anhydrides have proved to be useful as achiral acyl donors in BTM-catalyzed acylations, the latter usually leading to higher enantios-electivities, but somewhat lower reaction rates. Cl-PIQ has been used primarily in combination with propionic anhydride. Chloroform is the solvent of choice in most cases. BTM-catalyzed reactions are sensitive to moisture (rapid catalyst deactivation) and, therefore, should be carried out in the presence of anhydrous Na2S04. 

Sericin is recovered during the various stages of producing raw silk. Sericin is oxidation-, bacterial-, and UV-resistant, and it absorbs and releases moisture rapidly. Sericin can be cross-linked, copolymerized, and blended with other macromolecular materials, especially artificial polymers. The materials modified with sericin and sericin composites are useful as degradable biomaterials, biomedical materials, polymers, functional membranes, fibers, and fabrics [26].
