Dissolution of α-chitin in deep eutectic solvents

Sharma, Mukesh, Mukesh, Chandrakant, Mondal, Dibyendu, Prasad, Kamalesh·2013·RSC Advances

Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) consisting of mixtures of choline halide (chloride/bromide)–urea, choline chloride–thiourea, chlorocholine chloride–urea and betaine hydrochloride–urea were demonstrated to be effective solvent systems for α-chitin. The dissolution of the biopolymer in the DESs was carried out by conventional heating, heating under microwave irradiation and heating assisted by ultrasonication under an inert atmosphere. Microwave and ultrasonication helped to reduce the time and temperature required for dissolution. Maximum dissolution of the biopolymer (9% w/w) was observed in the DES consisting of choline chloride–thiourea. The absence of insoluble particles in the solutions was confirmed by optical light microscope. No remarkable degradation of chitin during the dissolution process was observed upon investigations using FT-IR, XRD, 1H NMR, TGA, viscometry and rheology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
