Liquid CO2 Extraction of D-Limonene This convenient‚ effective and inexpensive liquid CO2-based extraction of a natural product (D-limonene) provides an engaging example of natural products extraction using an alternative solvent (liquefied CO2). Because the procedure can be carried out in a polypropylene centrifuge tube and uses crushed dry ice as its CO2 source‚ it provides an inexpensive alternative to the equipment-intensive extraction with supercritical CO2. A short video clip is available

1. Introduction Nepal has more villages than cities and towns. More than 80% of the people are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. Nepal is rich in forests. % of the total land is covered with forest. Majority of the rural households are subsistence farmers and rely heavily on forest products to meet their daily requirements. Fuel wood is used for cooking and heating purposes‚ fodder and grass for livestock‚ leaf litter for manure‚ and timber for constructing houses and for making agricultural

Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

Extraction and Evaporation: Separating the Components of "Panacetin" Submitted- July 17‚ 2012 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin‚ a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as

What is a Tooth Extraction? A tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from the mouth. The procedure may need to be done for a number of reasons. Sometimes before getting braces‚ a tooth needs to be removed in order for the teeth to have enough room to move into their proper location and order for a straight smile. In other cases‚ a tooth may need to be removed because it has decayed or has become loose due to gum disease. Removing it is the first step in stopping the pain and infection

Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing‚ for body identification‚ and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next‚ the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third‚ DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly‚ the DNA must be isolated. A buccal swab is necessary in order to collect the cheek cells .The micropipettes are used to add lysis

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

It takes a period of 20 years for the Prunus Africana to grow to 30 meters or more. That is one reason there are only a limited number of Prunus Africana found in Kenya‚ Uganda‚ and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The extraction of pulverized‚ dark bark of Prunus Africana is the reason for high demand on these trees for production of drugs for prostate issues. The Prunus Africana is currently being harvested out of eastern highlands of Kenya in the Aberdares Mountains
