Standard CGIF interoperability in Amine
No full textThe adoption of standard CGIF by CG tools will enable interoperability between them to be achieved, and in turn lead to the interoperability between CG tools and other tools. The integration of ISO Common Logic’s standard CGIF notation in the Amine platform is presented. It also describes the first steps towards full interoperability between the Amine CG tool (through its Synergy component) and CharGer, a representative CG tool that supports similar interoperability and for process (or ‘active’) knowledge as well as declarative knowledge. N-adic relations are addressed as well as semantic compatibility across the two tools. The work remarks on the successes achieved, highlighting certain issues along the way, and offering a real impetus to achieve interoperability.</p
Le Soft Power du Maroc en Afrique Subsaharienne : Une Diplomatie Culturelle au Service des Intérêts Économiques
No full textInfluence rivalries between emerging and traditional powers are taking on a growing strategic dimension, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where Morocco is seeking to reinforce its soft power. Building on its unique cultural and religious heritage, the Kingdom is adopting a multi-dimensional approach to promoting moderate Islam and its values of tolerance, while seeking to forge solid political and economic relations.
This article analyzes the main instruments of this Moroccan diplomacy. It also highlights the challenges facing this strategy, notably the competition and lack of coordination between the players involved.
Through a comparative analysis, the article examines the structural and institutional limits of Moroccan efforts, and suggests ways of improving them to maximize their impact. By combining its cultural, religious and economic dimensions, Morocco could position itself as a key player in South-South cooperation, and consolidate its role as a spiritual and cultural leader in sub-Saharan Africa.

Theoretical effect of concentration, circulation rate, stages, pressure and temperature of single amine and amine mixture solvents on gas sweetening performance
No full textAbstractThis simulation experiment performed by Aspen Hysys is about theoretical investigation of gas sweetening performance of single amine solvents MEA1, MDEA2, DEA3, DGA4, DIPA5 and mixed amine solvents DGA–MEA, DEA–MDEA and SULFOLANE6–MDEA. Sweet gas having very high percentage of methane is produced by MEA (95.36%), DGA–MEA (95.37%), DEA–MDEA (95.51%) and SULFOLANE–MDEA (95.10%) and DGA (93.76%) shows lowest performance. DGA, SULFOLANE–MDEA, MDEA remove H2S at a lower circulation rate and DEA, DIPA need higher but satisfactory circulation rate. Increasing stage number shows positive effect on DEA, DIPA and SULFOLANE–MDEA. Pressure change has no significant effect. Temperature increase and methane percentage are negatively correlated for all solvents (except low circulating DIPA). With temperature increase H2S composition increases for DEA–MDEA, DGA–MEA; CO2 increases for DEA–MDEA, DGA–MEA and high circulating SULFOLANE–MDEA

Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> capture can finally compete with amine-based capture
No full textElectrochemical CO2 capture is promising for closing the carbon cycle but needs technological advances. In a recent issue of Nature Energy, a novel chemistry for electrochemical CO2 capture is presented, demonstrating low energy consumption and high purity with virtually no degradation. This finally allows competition with amine-based capture technology.reen Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.ChemE/Transport PhenomenaLarge Scale Energy Storag
Synthesis of Chiral Amines via a Bi-Enzymatic Cascade Using an Ene-Reductase and Amine Dehydrogenase
No full textAccess to chiral amines with more than one stereocentre remains challenging, although an increasing number of methods are emerging. Here we developed a proof-of-concept bi-enzymatic cascade, consisting of an ene reductase and amine dehydrogenase (AmDH), to afford chiral diastereomerically enriched amines in one pot. The asymmetric reduction of unsaturated ketones and aldehydes by ene reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme family (OYE) was adapted to reaction conditions for the reductive amination by amine dehydrogenases. By studying the substrate profiles of both reported biocatalysts, thirteen unsaturated carbonyl substrates were assayed against the best duo OYE/AmDH. Low (5 %) to high (97 %) conversion rates were obtained with enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess of up to 99 %. We expect our established bi-enzymatic cascade to allow access to chiral amines with both high enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess from varying alkene substrates depending on the combination of enzymes.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.BT/Biocatalysi

No full textIn the version of this article, there were errors in Fig. 2a and d. In Fig. 2a, we have changed Cu2+ to Cu(0) in the revised version. While the two references cited in our paper used Cu2+ in their schematics,1,2 we believe that Cu(0) is the correct representation for the electrochemically mediated amine regeneration (EMAR)3. To be clear, the Cu metal anode is oxidized into cupric ions. The cupric ions then bind to the carbamate and displace the CO2 and form a copper–amine complex. The copper–amine complex is then reduced at the cathode where Cu metal is plated out. In Fig. 2d, we have changed the polarity of the cathode and anode in the revised version. A proton is released at the anode, while a hydroxide is released at the cathode. We have also simplified the quinone/hydroquinone chemistry in the revised version to be consistent with proton and hydroxide stoichiometry. The original and revised Fig. 2 images are shown below. The changes have been made to the html and PDF versions of the article.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.
