Case Study

Synthesis of ZnS Nanoparticles via Thermal Decomposition of Zinc Ricinoleate Complex

Synthesis of ZnS Nanoparticles via Thermal Decomposition of Zinc Ricinoleate Complex Mensah, Michael B., Nathaniel O. Boadi, and Johannes AM Awudza. Journal of Chemistry 2022.1 (2022): 9384592.

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is an important semiconductor with a wide range of electronic and catalytic applications. ZnS nanocrystals have been reported to be synthesized through the thermal decomposition of zinc ricinoleate carboxylate in a solvent mixture of oleylamine and dodecanethiol (1:1). Crystalline zinc blende ZnS nanocrystals with quantum dot sizes ranging from 2.3 to 5.3 nm were obtained at temperatures above 240 °C.
Synthesis Procedure
Under a nitrogen atmosphere, dissolve zinc (II) ricinoleate complex (0.91 mmol and 0.6 g) in a three-neck flask containing a 1:1 solvent mixture of dodecanethiol (41.75 mmol and 10 ml) and oleylamine (30.39 mmol and 10 ml). Raise the reaction temperature to 300 °C and maintain it for one hour. Cool the resulting solution to room temperature to obtain a white precipitate of ZnS nanoparticles. Wash the precipitate several times with ethanol to remove excess oleylamine and dodecanethiol. Disperse the ZnS nanoparticles in toluene for analysis.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Zinc Ricinoleate: Applications in Ammonia Adsorption

Electrochemical Synthesis of Zinc Ricinoleate: Applications in Ammonia Adsorption Heo, Bumgi, Yong-Tae Kim, and Jinsub Choi. Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering 9.2 (2021): 105083.

Zinc ricinoleate (Zn(Ri)₂) has excellent selectivity and the capability to remove odor-active compounds, such as nitrites (NH₃ and organic nitrogen) and sulfur-containing compounds (H₂S, organic sulfides, and mercaptans). In this study, Zn(Ri)₂ was prepared on zinc foil through a straightforward electrochemical method.
Synthesis of Zn(Ri)₂ via Electrochemical Anodization
Zn(Ri)₂ was synthesized through an electrochemical anodization process. Specifically, zinc foil (0.25 mm thick, 99.98%) was cut into dimensions of 1.5 × 1.5 cm² and ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, ethanol, and deionized (DI) water for 15 minutes. Subsequently, the zinc foil was anodized using a two-electrode system, where the zinc foil served as the working electrode and a platinum mesh acted as the counter electrode. The electrolyte consisted of ricinoleic acid (80%), deionized water, and ethanol (99%) in a 4:4:2 v/v ratio. The process was conducted at a constant voltage within the range of 0-100 V for various durations. After anodization, the zinc foil was washed with high-purity ethanol and dried overnight at room temperature.

Custom Q&A

What is Zinc Ricinoleate?

Zinc Ricinoleate is a highly effective deodorant based on a zinc salt of ricinolic acid.

What is the role of Zinc Ricinoleate in deodorants?

Zinc Ricinoleate traps and absorbs odor molecules, making them imperceptible to the odor receptors in the nose, thereby deodorizing.

Does Zinc Ricinoleate inhibit natural perspiration?

No, Zinc Ricinoleate does not inhibit natural perspiration.

Does Zinc Ricinoleate have bactericidal or fungicidal properties?

No, Zinc Ricinoleate does not have bactericidal or fungicidal properties.

What is the source of Zinc Ricinoleate?

Zinc Ricinoleate is derived from castor seed oil obtained from the Ricinus communis plant.

Is Zinc Ricinoleate safe to use?

Yes, Zinc Ricinoleate is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products.

What types of products is Zinc Ricinoleate suitable for?

Zinc Ricinoleate is particularly suitable for all types of deodorant emulsions.

Is Zinc Ricinoleate a natural ingredient?

Yes, Zinc Ricinoleate is derived from a natural source, castor seed oil.

Can castor oil and its derivatives, like Zinc Ricinoleate, be contaminated with ricin?

No, castor oil and its derivatives do not contain ricin. The manufacturing process neutralizes and effectively deactivates any potential ricin molecules.

Is Zinc Ricinoleate a better alternative to toxic chemicals in air fresheners?

Yes, Zinc Ricinoleate can be used as a safer and more natural alternative to the toxic chemicals and masking agents used in conventional air fresheners.
