Orientador: Josimeri Hebling / Resumo: Objetivo: Investigar a citotoxicidade transdentinária da acroleína (ACR) sobre células pulpares e a resistência máxima à tração (RMT) da matriz dentinária e resistência da união (RU) resina-dentina após a biomodificação do colágeno dentinário por esse agente promotor de ligações cruzadas. Métodos: Discos de dentina (0,4 mm de espessura) foram obtidos de molares humanos hígidos e adaptados em câmaras pulpares artificiais. Células MDPC-23 foram semeadas na superfície pulpar desses discos e a superfície oclusal foi condicionada com ácido fosfórico por 15s. Sobre a dentina condicionada foi aplicado (n=9): água deionizada (controle), ACR 0,02%, 0,01%, 0,005%, glutaraldeído 5% (GD) ou peróxido de hidrogênio 3%. Após 60s, a superfície foi lavada e as câmaras foram incubadas por 24h. Foi avaliada a viabilidade das MDPC-23 (alamarBlue) aderidas na parede pulpar dos discos e os extratos foram aplicados em novas MDPC-23 e HDPCs (células da polpa dental humana) cultivadas em placas de cultura. Após 24h, essas células foram avaliadas quanto a viabilidade, atividade de fosfatase alcalina (ensaio da timolftaleína), presença de nódulos de mineralização (Alizarin red) e expressão gênica de ALPL, DSPP, MMP2, MMP9 e IL1B (PCRq). Vinte cinco molares adicionais foram seccionados para obter espécimes de dentina (n=50) que foram completamente desmineralizados com ácido fosfórico por 24h. Os espécimes de matriz dentinária foram tratados por 60s com: água, ACR 0,02%, 0,01%, 0,005% ou GD 5% e submetid...

Methods: Dentin disks (0.4 mm thick) were cut from sound human molars and adapted in artificial pulp chambers. MDPC-23 were seeded on the pulpal side of the disks and the occlusal surface was etched with phosphoric acid for 15s. The etched dentin was treated with (n=9): deionized water (control), 0.02%, 0.01%, 0.005% ACR, 5% glutaraldehyde (GD), or 3% hydrogen peroxide. After 60s, the surface was rinsed, and the chambers were incubated for 24h. The viability of MDPC-23 cells seeded on the disk was assessed (alamarBlue) and the extracts were applied on new MDPC-23 and HDPCs (human dental pulp cells) seeded in culture plates. After 24h, the viability of the cells was investigated as well as the activity of alkaline phosphatase, presence of mineralized nodules (Alizarin red) and ALPL, DSPP, MMP2, MMP9 and IL1b gene expression (qPCR). Additional twenty-five human molars were sectioned to obtain dentin specimens (n=50) which were completely demineralized in 10% phosphoric acid for 24h. The specimens were treated for 60s with: water, 0.02%, 0.01%, 0.005% ACR or 5% GD, and then submitted to a mechanical test to determine the UBS. Finally, flat dentin surfaces prepared in 40 human molars were etched with phosphoric acid and trea... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Ce travail est consacré à la modélisation, simulation et optimisation des réacteurs catalytiques gaz/solide à lit fixe multitubulaire pour la production de l'acroléine à partir du propylène ou du glycérol. La première partie du travail traite de l'oxydation catalytique du propylène en acroléine. Différents modèles cinétiques et du réacteur ont été développés. Les paramètres inconnus mis en jeu sont identifiés à partir des mesures expérimentales. Un ensemble de variables opératoires qui maximisent les rendements des produits clés ont ensuite été déterminés en utilisant le modèle validé. La seconde partie du travail concerne la production d'acroléine à partir du glycérol. Elle comprend une étape de déshydratation du glycérol et une étape de régénération du catalyseur. Un modèle hétérogène bidimensionnel a été développé. Pour la régénération du catalyseur, un modèle cinétique qui permet d'identifier la concentration et les compositions initiales du coke et de prédire le processus de sa combustion a été développé et identifié à l'aide de mesures expérimentales. L'optimisation de l'étape de régénération du catalyseur a ensuite été effectuée. Pour l'étape de déshydratation, un modèle cinétique qui permet de simuler simultanément la déshydratation du glycérol, la formation du coke et la variation de l'activité du catalyseur a été développé et identifié à l'aide de mesures expérimentales. / In this work, modeling, simulation and optimization of multitubular gas/solid fixed bed catalytic reactors for acrolein production from propylene or from glycerol are investigated. The first part of the work deals with the catalytic oxidation of propylene to acrolein. Different kinetic and reactor models are developed and the unknown parameters involved are identified from experimental measurements. A set of operating variables that maximize the yield of key products then determined using the validated reactor model. The second part of the work is devoted to the production of acrolein from glycerol. This part consists of two steps: a glycerol dehydration step and a catalyst regeneration step. A two-dimensional heterogeneous model is developed. In the catalyst regeneration step, a kinetic model enabling the identification of the concentration and initial compositions of the coke and the prediction of its combustion process is developed and identified using experimental measurements. The optimization of the operating conditions of the regeneration step is then carried out. In the dehydration step, a kinetic model that allows the simultaneous simulation of glycerol dehydration, coke formation and catalyst activity variation is developed and identified by means of experimental measurements.

Ce travail de thèse se focalise sur l'impact des propriétés acido-basiques des catalyseurs (quantité et force des sites) dans la production d’acroléine par couplage oxydant d’alcools en phase gazeuse. L'influence du rapport entre site acides et sites basiques des catalyseurs a été étudiée dans la condensation aldolique de l'acétaldéhyde et du formaldéhyde en acroléine, réalisée en conditions oxydantes. Les données et corrélations obtenues ont donné des informations indispensables à l’identification des paramètres qui doivent être modifiés afin d'améliorer la sélectivité en acroléine. La première réaction du procédé implique l'oxydation du méthanol et de l'éthanol respectivement en formaldéhyde et acétaldéhyde sur un catalyseur rédox de type FeMoOx.Ensuite, l'aldolisation croisée des deux aldéhydes et la déshydratation en acroléine sont effectuées sur des catalyseurs acido-basiques.Les alcools impliqués dans ce procédé pouvant dériver de la biomasse, cette nouvelle voie de production d'acroléine présente un intérêt élevé puisqu'elle peut remplacer la production actuelle d'acroléine basée sur des ressources fossiles (aujourd'hui l’acroléine est produite industriellement par oxydation du propylène).Le catalyseur optimal doit présenter des caractéristiques amphotères avec une quantité similaire de sites basiques et acides. Une présence modérée et équilibrée de sites acides et basiques améliore le rendement en acroléine et déplace à plus haute température la production des oxydes de carbone. Parmi tous les catalyseurs étudiés, et grâce à ses propriétés acido-basiques spécifiques, MgO supporté sur silice a été identifié comme étant le meilleur catalyseur pour la condensation aldolique des aldéhydes en acroléine en conditions oxydantes / The present work focuses on the impact of the amount and strength of acidic and/or basic sites on the yield of acrolein produced by alcohols oxidative coupling in gas phase. The influence of acid/base ratio of catalytic sites has been studied in the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde to acrolein performed in oxidizing conditions. The obtained data and correlations supplied valuable information to understand which parameters have to be modified to improve the acrolein selectivity. The first reaction of the process implies methanol and ethanol oxidation respectively to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on a FeMoOx redox catalyst. Then the cross-aldolization of the two aldehydes and the dehydration to acrolein is performed on acid/base catalysts. Because the alcohols involved in this process can be bio-sourced, this new route to produce acrolein presents a very high interest, since it can replace the current fossil-based acrolein production (nowadays industrially produced by oxidation of propylene). The optimal catalyst should present amphoteric features with a similar amount of both basic and acidic sites. A moderate and balanced presence of acidic and basic sites improves the acrolein yield and the production of carbon oxides is significantly increased only at high temperature. Among all studied catalysts, MgO supported on silica has been identified as the best catalyst for aldol-condensation of aldehydes to acrolein in oxidizing conditions thanks to a given ratio of basic to acidic sites

The aim of this thesis was to introduce and apply the possibilities of using waste glycerol from biodiesel production and partly waste low-stiffen coolant from cars that could be applied in industry. At the beginning of the thesis is summarized biodiesel production and its world production. There is more developed biodiesel production in the Czech Republic and in the European Union and some European legal regulations and standards for biodiesel. Also described herein is a composition of biodiesel and the description of the technology of its production. In the theoretical section summarizes the physical and chemical properties of glycerol and there is also summarized the traditional use of glycerol as food, explosives, etc. There are also new procedures that were performed in the experimental part of the thesis. There are described the ion exchange mechanism, ion exchange resin properties and the properties of the acids and salts generated by neutralization with NaOH contained in the waste glycerol. Also is described herein the wood protection and properties of ethylene glycol coolants and properties of boroglycerol and boroglycol as protection for wood and mechanism of their preparation. Next is described the mechanism of dehydration of glycerol to acrolein and options which can perform the synthesis. In the experimental part, the pH of waste glycerol was measured, then was measured the exact amount of NaOH in the glycerol. There is also desribed cleaning of waste glycerol from NaOH using acidic cation exchange resins on columns, or by neutralization with oleic acid, lactic acid and CO2. Further syntheses were performed glycerol borate and ethylene glycol borate. Water amount in ethylene glycol and methanol with water amount in glycerol were found by distillation. Then were prepared boroglycol and boroglycerol. By the amount resulting from the amount of reaction water were observed reaction conditions H3BO3, Na2B4O7•10 H2O and glycerol. At the end was carried out experimental dilution resulting boroglycerol and boroglycol by ethanol, methanol, TMB. Finally, the diluted boroglycerol was deposited on wood. Dehydration of glycerol to acrolein under the catalytic action of KHSO4 was performed. The results are given all the results and discussed the possibility of using the knowledge gained in this work in the industry. In conclusion, there are listed the economic comparison using waste glycerol and crude oil as a raw material and also charts the development of oil prices in 40 years since 1970, and graph of the price of waste glycerol.
