TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2磁性光催化剂的制备与表征

 A γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 composite was prepared by sol-gel method followed by calcination at 700 ℃ for 30 min starting from tetraethoxysilane and iron nitrate. Upon further coating with SiO2 and TiO2, a TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 magnetic photocatalyst was obtained. XRD results show that Fe in the composite converts to the γ-Fe2O3 phase up to a processing temperature of 700 ℃, and further increase in temperature results in the formation of the α-Fe2O3 phase. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 samples obtained are monodisperse spherical particles with 200～250 nm diameter, well coated firstly by an amorphous SiO2 layer and then by an anatase TiO2 layer. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 particles retain their magnetic property well and show high activity for the photocatalytic degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid.     

Reaction of nitrous oxide with methane to synthesis gas: A thermodynamic and catalytic study

The aim of the present study is to explore the coherence of thermodynamic equilibrium predictions with the actual catalytic reaction of CH4 with N_2O,particularly at higher CH4 conversions.For this purpose,key process variables,such as temperature(300℃-550℃) and a molar feed ratio(N_2O/CH4 = 1,3,and 5),were altered to establish the conditions for maximized H_2 yield.The experimental study was conducted over the Co-ZSM-5 catalyst in a fixed bed tubular reactor and then compared with the thermodynamic equilibrium compositions,where the equilibrium composition was calculated via total Gibbs free energy minimization method.The results suggest that molar feed ratio plays an important role in the overall reaction products distribution.Generally for N_2O conversions,and irrespective of N_2O/CH_4 feed ratio,the thermodynamic predictions coincide with experimental data obtained at approximately 475℃-550℃,indicating that the reactions are kinetically limited at lower range of temperatures.For example,theoretical calculations show that the H2 yield is zero in presence of excess N2O(N_2O/CH_4 = 5).However over a Co-ZSM-5 catalyst,and with a same molar feed ratio(N_2O/CH_4) of 5,the H_2 yield is initially 10%at 425℃,while above450℃ it drops to zero.Furthermore,H_2 yield steadily increases with temperature and with the level of CH4 conversion for reactions limited by N_2O concentration in a reactant feed.The maximum attainable(from thermodynamic calculations and at a feed ratio of N_2O/CH4=3) H_2 yield at 550℃ is 38%,whereas at same temperature and over Co-ZSM-5,the experimentally observed yield is about 19%.Carbon deposition on Co-ZSM-5 at lower temperatures and CH4 conversion(less than 50%) was also observed.At higher temperatures and levels of CH_4 conversion(above 90%),the deposited carbon is suggested to react with N_2O to form CO_2.     

Influence of Gas Components on the Formation of Carbonyl Sulfide over Water-Gas Shift Catalyst B303Q

Water-gas shift reaction catalyst at lower temperature (200—400℃) may improve the conversion of carbon monoxide. But carbonyl sulfide was found to be present over the sulfided cobalt-molybdenum/alumina catalyst for water-gas shift reaction. The influences of temperature, space velocity, and gas components on the formation of carbonyl sulfide over sulfided cobalt-molybdenum/alumina catalyst B303Q at 200—400℃were studied in a tubular fixed-bed quartz-glass reactor under simulated water-gas shift conditions. The experimental results showed that the yield of carbonyl sulfide over B303Q catalyst reached a maximum at 220℃with the increase in temperature, sharply decreased with the increase in space velocity and the content of water vapor, increased with the increase in the content of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and its yield increased and then reached a stable value with the increase in the content of hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide. The formation mechanism of carbonyl sulfide over B303Q catalyst at 200—400℃was discussed on the basis of how these factors influence the formation of COS. The yield of carbonyl sulfide over B303Q catalyst at 200-400℃was the combined result of two reactions, that is, COS was first produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen sulfide, and then the as-produced COS was converted to hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide by hydrolysis. The mechanism of COS formation is assumed as follows: sulfur atoms in the Co9S8-MOS2/Al2O3 crystal lattice were easily removed and formed carbonyl sulfide with CO, and then hydrogen sulfide in the water-gas shift gas reacted with the crystal lattice oxygen atoms in CoO-MoO3/Al2O3 to form Co9S8-MoS2/Al2O3. This mechanism for the formation of COS over water-gas shift catalyst B303Q is in accordance with the Mars-Van Krevelen's redox mechanism over metal sulfide.

A novel positively thermo-sensitive hydrogel based on ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride and piperazine: Design, synthesis and characterization

A new positively thermo-sensitive hydrogel was designed and synthesized by a condensation polymerization reaction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride（EDTAD） and piperazine（PA） to give poly（ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride-copiperazine） （PEP）.The obtained polymers’ structure was characterized by FTIR and ¹³C NMR.The backbone of the polymer linked by amide bond and abundant of carboxyl groups as pendant group could form strong intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bond at lower temperature and dissociate at higher temperature,resulting in the polymer with thermo-sensitivity.The aqueous solution of PEP at lower temperature（<20℃） showed micro-gel formation and transformed to transparent solution at higher temperature（>40℃）.Transition temperature shifted to higher value with the increasing of concentration.The hydrogel exhibited reversible phase transition and the transmittance change was not weakened by multiple temperature changes.     

In situ carbon nanotube synthesis by the reduction of NiO/γ-Al_2O_3 catalyst in methane

The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via chemical vapour deposition of methane on NiO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has been investigated.The reduction behavior of NiO/γ-Al2O3 by methane was studied using thermogravimetric (TG) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques.It was found that the NiO supported on γ-Al2O3,was reduced to Ni0 in methane atmosphere in the temperature range of 710-770℃.The catalytic activity of NiO/γ-Al2O3 for CNTs synthesis by in situ chemical vapour deposition of methane during the reduction was also investigated.Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to observe the CNTs produced at various reduction temperatures.The results indicated that the reduction temperature exhibits obvious influence on the morphology and the yield of CNTs.CNTs with the diameter of about 20 nm were obtained at reduction temperature of 750℃,and higher reduction temperature (such as 800 and 850℃) led to an increase in CNTs diameter and a decrease in CNTs yield.

Broad-Range Optical pH Sensor Based on Binary Mixed-Indicator Doped Sol-Gel Film and Application of Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

In this article, we constructed a pH optical sensor based on m-cresol purple/bromocresol green mixed indicators. The sensor possessed different behaviors at various pH values from ?1.04 to 8.70. The observed behaviors were modeled by means of a PC-feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) with back-propagation training algorithm. The resulting ANN model was used to predict pH values of new measured spectra from unknown solutions. The results showed very good agreement between true and predicted pH values. The sensor revealed no leaching and excellent reversibility. Other advantages of the sensor include rapid response time, long-term stability, reversibility, high sensitivity, and little hysteresis effect.

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.
