| Abstract: | "The adsorption isotherms of water, the differential heat of adsorption, and the entropy of adsorbed water were investigated to elucidate the structure of stability of cyclodextrins (CyD) and branched CyD's. The amount adsorbed on branched CyD's increased with increasing relative humidity. The steep rise in the amount adsorbed at higher relative humidities indicated that the structure of branched CyD's was affected by the water molecules at these higher relative humidities. The bonding force between alpha-CyD's and water molecules was stronger than that between their branched CyD's and water, while that between beta-CyD's and water was weaker than that between their branched CyD's and water. We have used activated carbons for the recovery of organic solvents. There are polar groups on the activated carbon surface. Therefore, the recovered organic solvents were degraded by these groups. However, such polar groups are not expected for the hydroxyl groups of the CyD's. The amounts of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, benzene, and toluene included in natural CyD's and their branched CyD's were measured. The amounts of organic solvents included in the CyD's depended upon the cavity radii and the glucosyl and maltosyl functional groups of the CyD's and the radii of the organic solvent molecules" |
