To control free formaldehyde release from fabric finished with N-methylol compounds, resin finished cotton fabric was treated with resorcinol solution, dried and cured. Factors affecting to control formaldehyde release have been investigated. It was shown that the aftertreatment with resorcinol greatly suppressed the free formaldehyde release. Up to concentration of about 5% of resorcinol, the concentration of resorcinol effected on the control of free and evolved formaldehyde. And at high concentration of resorcinol, however, the concentration became rather insensitive to contol formaldehyde release. Addition of some salt catalysts such as ammonium chloride, zinc nitrate, sodium acetate and ammonium acetate, was effective in decreasing formaldehyde release. Considering the effect on the control of formaldehyde and crease recovery, ammonium acetate was concidered to be the best catalyst. It was observed that the optimum curing temperature for the resorcinol treatment was about 15$0^{\circ}C$, and that the curing time did not affected formaldehyde release over three minutes. Although the treatment of resorcinol had a little adverse effect on crease recovery of resin finished fabric, this effect could be negligible.

Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and ubiquitous environmental toxin with known harmful effects to human health. Abnormal phenotypes of keratinocytes are closely associated with their exposure to B[a]P. Resorcinol is a component of argan oil with reported anticancer activities, but its mechanism of action and potential effect on B[a]P damage to the skin is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of resorcinol on B[a]P-induced abnormal keratinocyte biology and its mechanisms of action in human epidermal keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. Resorcinol suppressed aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activity as evidenced by the inhibition of B[a]P-induced xenobiotic response element (XRE)-reporter activation and cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) expression. In addition, resorcinol attenuated B[a]P-induced nuclear translocation of AhR, and production of ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines. We also found that resorcinol increased nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) activity. Antioxidant response element (ARE)-reporter activity and expression of ARE-dependent genes NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NQO1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were increased by resorcinol. Consistently, resorcinol treatment induced nuclear localization of Nrf2 as seen by Western analysis. Knockdown of Nrf2 attenuated the resorcinol effects on ARE signaling, but knockdown of AhR did not affect resorcinol activation of Nrf2. This suggests that activation of antioxidant activity by resorcinol is not mediated by AhR. These results indicate that resorcinol is protective against effects of B[a]P exposure. The mechanism of action of resorcinol is inhibition of AhR and activation of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant signaling. Our findings suggest that resorcinol may have potential as a protective agent against B[a]P-containing pollutants.

The alkylation of resorcinol with cyclic allylic alcohol in non-aqueous acid medium gives intermolecular Friedel-Craft compounds. The products are primary alkylation products. The likage always occurs between carbon 3 of cyclic allylic alcohol and the position 2, 4, 5 or 6 of the resorcinol.

The purpose of the present work was to preparation and study of full biodegradable Eco-friendly bio-composites by using renewable resources. In this study, wheat protein isolate (WPI) films were formed by cross linking with resorcinol through solution casting method for packaging applications. By varying the resorcinol content (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 wt %), its effect on mechanical properties of the wheat protein isolate film was measured. The addition of 20% resorcinol led to an overall increase in the tensile strength from 5.2 to 18.6 MPa and modulus increase from 780 to 1132 MPa than WPI films. The % elongation was increased from 2.8 to 9.05 when compared to unmodified WPI film. A thermal phase transition of the prepared WPI was assessed by means of DSC. FTIR is evident that the characteristic WPI spectral IR bands shifted on cross-linking with resorcinol.

This study is carried out to determine the scavenging effect of resorcinol added into the urea formaldehyde resin on the formaldehyde release of plywood, as the preliminary study of using the phenolic substances. The method for formaldehyde determination used in this report is the improved chromotropic acid determination. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Resorcinol added into the urea formaldehyde adhesive acts as a good scavenger. 4 percent of resorcinol reduced the formaldehyde release to less than half content. 2. Adding resorcinol gave better glue shear strength than that of control, showing the peak of the shear strength, at 2 percent and decreased to the same strength as control along its content of 4 percent. 3. Moisture content of air dried plywood met the standard very well.

5-Alkyl-3-(1-thioxolanyl-cyclohexenyl)-resorcinol derivatives are readily prepared by boron trifluoride-on-alumina-catalyzed formation of 5-alkylresorcinols with 1-thioxolanyl-2-cyclohexenol; their formation depends on the nature of the alkylgroup. The yield is the highest with 5-(1, 1-dimethylheptyl)-resorcinol. The one with 5-pentylresorcinol is higher than 5-methylresorcinol and resorcinol apparently because of steric effects. The yields of the products increases: 3a (10%), 3b (20%) 3c (48%) and 3d (77%).

The adsorption of phenolic compound resorcinol on activated carbons prepared from Moringa oleifera (Drumstick bark) has been investigated. Activated carbon was prepared by impregnating Moringa oleifera with 50% phosphoric acid in the ratio of 1:1 and 1:2(w/w), designated as MOAC1 and MOAC2. Equilibrium and isotherm studies were carried out. The influences of variables such as contact time, initial concentration of resorcinol, carbon dosage in the solution on percentage adsorption and adsorption capacity of the bark have been analysed. The equilibration time was found to be 4 h. Kinetics of resorcinol onto activated carbons was checked for pseudo first order and pseudo second order model. It was found that the adsorption of resorcinol follows pseudo second order kinetics for both MOAC1 and MOAC2. The isotherm data were correlated with isotherm models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich. Adsorption isotherms were satisfactorily fitted by both the Langmuir and Freundlich model for MOAC1 and MOAC2.

Determination of Co(II) ion as a 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol(TAR) or 5-methyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol(5MTAR) chelate was accomplished by reversed-phase capillary high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-Capillary-HPLC) using a Vydac $C_4$ column and MeCN-water mixture as mobile phase. The effect of change in pH and MeCN percentage of the mobile phase on the retention factor, k and peak intensity were evaluated. It was found that 30% MeCN (v/v) of pH 5.60 or 7.20 was adequate as mobile phase when TAR or 5MTAR is used. Detection limit (D.L., S/N=3) in each case was $2.0\;{\times}\;10^{-7}$M (11.8 ppb) and $3.0\;{\times}\;10^{-7}$ M (17.7 ppb). The Co(II) ion in mineral and waste water was determined with the optimum column and mobile phase.
