Of cellulose powder

This Crude product (15.8 g) In water (360 ml) was added to a prehydrogenated suspension of 10% palladium on charcoal (4 g) in water (400 ml), and hydrogenation was continued for 30 minutes. The catalyst was removed and the filtrate was adjusted to pH 7.5 with sodium bicarbonate, then evaporated at low temperature and pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a column of cellulose powder, eluting first with butanol/ ethanol/water mixture and then with acetone/isopropanol/water. The main fraction was evaporated at low temperature and pressure to give a 32% yield of the sodium salt of a-carboxybenzylpenicillin as a white powder. The product was estimated by manometric assay with penicillinase to be 58% pure.

To reduce adsorption of cellulose powder (T2) Flodin introduced ethanol-treated cellulose as a supporting medium for zone electrophoresis columns (FI). The main advantage is low adsorption, so that the column can be eluted and used over and over again. In the large models up to 2 liters of serum are separated, while microcolumns are under development which should give excellent results for clinical work (PI, Tl).

The first, satisfactory methylation appears to have been effected by Bourne and his colleagues,48 who prepared 6-O-methyl-D-glucose in high yield from the l,2 3,5-bis(phenylboronate), using diazomethane and boron trifluoride etherate in dichloromethane for methylation, and a final separation on a column of cellulose powder. It is this procedure which the same group used for structural analysis of triol phenylboron-ates43 (see Section 111,1) others80 have attempted to use it, but without success. 

The overall method on which most of the preparation of immunoadsorbent is based is that of Gurvich et al. (Fig. 4). The initial preparation of cellulose powder can be carried out by refluxing cotton wool with ethanol and acetyl chloride. However, a more convenient alternative is to use commercially available microgranular cellulose (Whatman Ltd., Springfield MUl, Maidstone, Kent). Five grams of cellulose are suspended in 20 ml of 90% ethanol containing 0.5 g of sodium acetate and 1.4 g of nitrobenzyloxymethyl pyridinium chloride (British Drug House, Poole, Dorset, U.K.). Sodium acetate is dissolved first in 2 ml of water, and the... 

Figure 10. Scanning electron micrograph of a composite of cellulose powder-lignin powder mixture. The hig, fibrous cellulose particle (right) appears to be bonded to the big amorphous lignin particle (left). A split in the cellulose particle suggests that bonding between lignin and cellulose particles was stronger than the tensile strength of cdlulose perpendicular to the fiber axis (12A).

Layers of cellulose powder, on the other hand, are aggregations of very small particles, all of much the same size. The interstices are therefore much smaller and more regular, and the adsorbent surfaces are more evenly distributed. In consequence, there is a much more even flow of mobile phase, with less diffusion of the dissolved substances. The flow is also much faster. 

Conventionally produced cellulose powders (microcrystalline cellulose) consist of irregularly shaped fibrous particles of limited use for column chromatography. Beaded cellulose is prepared by dissolution of cellulose powder in a suitable solvent, followed by droplet formation in a suspension medium, and subsequent solvent extraction or crosslinking. Cellulose triacetate and tricarbamate derivatives are useful as low-cost sorbents for the process-scale separation of enantiomers (section 10.4.2). 

Unfortunately, the Allies issued their memorandum before the arrival of their technical experts, Muraour and Watts, who could have made the wording more precise and effective. In fact, it lacked any question related to the manufacture of cellulose powder . Moreover, the German experts tried their best to evade the important questions . When the experts did arrive in January 1920, they found it necessary to clarify the questions by consulting directly with their German counterparts. Haber, at least, apparently believed that he could make use of personal friendships with the Allied experts to control the amount of information released. ...

Preparation of cellulose sorbent in the laboratory involves making a 15-35% aqueous slurry of the powder, followed by brief homogenization. The coated plates should be air dried rather than oven heated. Because of the particular nature of cellulose powder, a binder is not necessary. However, impurities and additives... 

To 2 g of cellulose powder add 6 ml of a 5 per cent solution of arachis oil, B.P,y in redistilled ether, then add more of the ether, mix thoroughly and evaporate off the ether while still mixing. Mix the residual oleated cellulose into a thin slurry with THF-TEA solvent (a mixture of 5 volumes of triethylamine, 25 volumes of tetrahydrofuran and 70 volumes of water), transfer to the chromatographic tube and allow to drain.
