Provided is a method of selectively enzymatically esterifying or selectively enzymatically solvolyzing epimers of analogs of vitamin D having a stereogenic center at C-24 that has a free or esterified OH group. The metod can be used, for example, for separating mixed epimers of the vitamin D analog.

The method includes the following steps: formulation of liquid, non-gelled and stable precursor by solvolysis of Ti(IV) compounds; precursor deposition on endosseous implant surface; thermal treatment to achieve film densification, in the presence of oxygen, of a complex formed by the above mentioned endosseous implant and precursor, to obtain on the implant surface a thin film of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide with good mechanical and chemical stability. The complex above, under a persistent W irradiation modify its surface status conferring a sensible increasing of wettability chemical and biological decontamination.

Process for the enantioselective preparation of secondary alcohols, wherein a racemic or enantiomerically enriched mixture of acetoacetic esters of chiral secondary alcohols is subjected to enantioselective enzymatic solvolysis in the presence of a nucleophile and a lipase capable of the solvolytic cleavage of an ester group.

The invention relates to an improved process for separating lignin and monomeric sugars from a liquor comprising lignin and monomeric sugars in a solvent mixture of water and at least one organic solvent, which employs membrane filtration techniques such as nanofiltration and selective water removal, preferably by permeation through a membrane which is selective for water molecules. The invention further relates to a modular system for executing the process according to the invention. The process and system according to the invention are particularly suitable to be incorporated with pre-treatment of lignocellulosic biomass, in particular by organosolv fractionation or solvolysis.

The invention relates to a method for recovering organic fibers from a composite material comprising a polymer matrix and organic fibers, wherein the method comprises the following steps: providing a solution comprising a mixture of water and alcohol; placing the composite material inside a reactor; contacting the mixture and the composite material in order to perform a solvolysis reaction of the composite material; and recovering the organic fibers; wherein the pressure and the temperature in the reactor are adjusted such as to fall within the homogeneous sub-critical range of the phase diagram, within the super-critical range or near the critical point; and wherein the temperature is lower than the melting temperature of the organic fibers.

A process for efficiently removing titanium oxide or red oxide from an ethylene glycol solvolysis product of a polyester containing titanium oxide or red oxide. The process comprises the steps of:(1) mixing at least one calcium compound selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide with a polyester decomposition product containing titanium oxide which is an ethylene glycol solvolysis product of a polyester containing titanium oxide to agglomerate titanium oxide contained in the polyester decomposition product, or mixing titanium oxide with a polyester decomposition product containing red oxide which is an ethylene glycol solvolysis product of a polyester containing red oxide to agglomerate red oxide contained in the polyester decomposition product; and(2) subjecting the agglomerates to solid-liquid separation to remove titanium oxide or red oxide from the polyester decomposition product.

A method for preparing α-keto acids, especially α-ketomethionine, and/or derivatives thereof, whereby an aldehyde is reacted with thiols to give a corresponding dithioacetal, the dithioacetal formed, is reacted with an electrophile in the presence of a strong base, and the resulting α,α-(dithio)carboxylic acid is solvolyzed with acid-catalysis to release thiol and give the α-keto acid or a derivative thereof. Umpolung of aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes is effected by reaction with thiols.
