Multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a solid-phase extraction adsorbent for the determination of chlorophenols in environmental water samples

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNs) are used as adsorbent for solid-phase extraction (SPE) of several chlorophenols (CPs). CPs were adsorbed on MWCNs cartridge, then desorbed with pH 10.0 methanol, finally determined by HPLC. Under the optimized conditions, detection limits of 0.08-0.8 ng mL(-1) were obtained. The method had been applied to analyze the five CPs in tap water and river water.     

Water／Oil Biphasic Hydroformylation of Higher Olefins over a TPPTS-Rh／SiO2 Catalyst

A novel TPPTS-Rh/SiO2 catalyst, prepared by directly modifying a heterogeneous high-surface-area Rh/SiO2 catalyst with water-soluble TPPTS ligands, could decrease the resistance of masstransfer in water/oil biphasic media for the hydroformylation of higher olefins. The catalytic performancefor hydroformylation on this biphasic TPPTS-Rh/SiO2 catalyst system was higher than those of thetraditional biphasic HRhCO(TPPTS)3 systems, owing to the chemical bonds between the highly dispersedRh metal particles and the TPPTS ligands. The catalyst system is applicable for hydroformylation ofhigher olefins such as 1-dodecene.

具有超大通道结构的介孔氧化硅柱层状钛酸的合成和催化应用初探

A mesoporous (d=2.3mm) silica-pillared layered tetratitanate with a super gallery (d₀₀₁=1.84mm)was prepared by first preswelling layered tetratitanate with n-dodecyl amine, then reacting with 20wt% NH₂(CH₂)₃Si(OC₂H₅)₃ aqueous solution, and finally calcinating the resultant solid product in air at 550℃. All the reaction was carried out hydrothermally in an autoclave at 130℃. The obtained material has a relatively high BET surface area of 204m²·g^-1 and a thermal stability beyond 600℃. The catalytic application of the material was also investigated by using the dehydration of isopropanol and the reform of n-hexane as two probing reactions.     

Voltammetric determination of 5-hydroxydole-3-acetic acid in human gastric juice

A method for the determination of the major serotonin metabolite — 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in human gastric juice by cyclic voltammetry was described. The measurement conditions were investigated. The potential window was chosen from +0.1 to +0.9 V, the supporting electrolyte was 0.025 M PBS solution (pH 2.0). The method allowed determination in the concentration range from 2.0 ×10⁻⁷ to 2.0 ×10 ⁻⁵ M and a detection limit of 80 nM. When samples of gastric juice were analyzed with the method, we obtained the mean content of 5-HIAA in the gastric juice. Meanwhile, interference from other ions and substances were examined. The experimental results indicate that the method for the determination of gastric juice samples is successful.

高血脂大鼠摄入富硒饲料对血清中铜,锌,钙,镁含量的影响

将４０只雄性ＳＤ大鼠随机分成两组，采用猪油（Ｌ）或玉粮米油（Ｍ）加胆固醇饲料诱导出大高血脂模型后，再分出两组、分别加入亚硒酸钠（Ｌ－Ｓｅ，Ｍ－Ｓｅ），观察大鼠补硒后血清中锌铜、锌、钙、镁等元素的变化。结果表明，高血脂大鼠补硒后血 锌的含量明显下降，铜／锌比值长高。相关分析显示：血硒水平与血清锌含量呈负相关，各组大鼠血清铜、钙、镁的浓度未观察到显著性差异。     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Based on Octamolybdates and Benzimidazole Molecules [Hbenzimi]4 [(benzimi)2Mo8O26] · 2H2O (benzimi?=?benzimidazole)

A novel organic/inorganic compound [Hbenzimi]₄[(benzimi)₂Mo₈O₂₆] · 2H₂O (1) has been prepared hydrothermally and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r., x.p.s., t.g. and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound (1) consists of the [Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ cluster as the structural motif covalently linked by benzimidazole molecules and protonated benzimidazole molecules as charge compensation cations. It is interesting that the benzimidazole molecules were synthesized from 1,2-phenylenediamine and oxalic acid. The [Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ polyoxoanions and organic ligands in compound (1) interact with each other via extensive hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.     

Anatase TiO2 nanocomposites for antimicrobial coatings

A sol-gel chemistry approach was used to fabricate nanoparticles of TiO(2) in its anatase form. The particle size is shown to be sensitive to the use of HClO(4) or HNO(3) as acid catalyst. The gold-capped TiO(2) nanocomposites were processed by the reduction of gold on the surface of the TiO(2) nanoparticles via a chemical reduction or a photoreduction method. Different percentages of vanadium-doped TiO(2) nanoparticles, which extended the TiO(2) absorption wavelength from the ultraviolet to the visible region, were successfully prepared. The synthesized nanocomposites have a size of about 12-18 nm and an anatase phase as characterized by XRD, TEM, AFM, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The TiO(2) nanocomposite coatings have been applied on glass slide substrates. The antibacterial activity of TiO(2) nanocomposites was investigated qualitatively and quantitatively. Two types of bacteria, Escherichia coli (DH 5alpha) and Bacillus megaterium (QM B1551), were used during the experiments. Good inhibition results were observed and demonstrated visually. The quantitative examination of bacterial activity for E. coli was estimated by the survival ratio as calculated from the number of viable cells, which form colonies on the nutrient agar plates. The antimicrobial efficiency and inhibition mechanisms are illustrated and discussed.
