Though preparation procedures of heterogeneous Ziegler‐Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization are sophisticated, it is uncertain whether the nature of the active sites is similar or different for different preparation procedures. In this study, the effects of preparation procedures on the nature of the active sites were investigated by stopped‐flow polymerization in combination with microstructure analysis of polymers. Both basic and advanced types of catalysts showed the same two kinds of isospecific active site, which indicated little influence of the preparation method on the active site structure. On the contrary, the ratios of the two kinds of isospecific sites were not the same, resulting in variation of average polymer properties.
A novel sensitive fluorimetric method was investigated for the assay of fexofenadine hydrochloride (FEX) using silver nanoparticles (NPs) as a fluorescence probe. The NPs, which were prepared by chemical reduction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride (reducing agent) in aqueous solution (without organic stabilizers) were water soluble, stable and had narrow emission band. The addition of drug to NPs solution caused considerable quenching of the emission band of silver NPs, which was likely due to the complexation of the drug to silver NPs. Under the optimum conditions, the quenched fluorescence (FL) intensity was linear with the concentration of FEX in the range of 1 × 10?7 to 2.5 × 10?5 mol L?1 (0.9985) with a detection limit of 1.2 × 10?8 mol L?1. The quenching mechanism of the studied drug on the emission band of silver NPs was explained by Stern–Volmer law. The developed method was applied to FEX determination in a pharmaceutical formulation (allegra tablets) and biological fluids (human serum and urine). 相似文献
A series of rare-earth-doped sodium titanates with the chemical formula RxHyNa4 − (x+y)TiO4·nH2O (where R = Ce3+, Nd3+ and Sm3+) were grown employing solid-state fusion reaction technique. The physico-chemical investigations indicated that the new materials
were self engineered into large particles enough to be used in sorption process and having crystalline structures containing
localized Na+ ions. Equilibrium studies revealed that an enhancement in sorption efficiency of sodium titanate after rare-earth doping.
The neodymium-rich sodium titanate exhibited a better exchange affinity for Cs+ compared to the other studied series. Data on the kinetics of cesium exchange fit well to pseudo-second order and intra-particle
diffusion models. In a separate experiment, it was reported that the R-HNaTi series showed responsible sorption affinity toward
Ce, Nd and Sm ions in their solution mixture with insignificant selectivity trend which reflects the high stability of titanate
matrices. 相似文献
An environmentally benign and simple method has been proposed for separation and determination of fat-soluble vitamins using isocratic microemulsion liquid chromatography. Optimization of parameters affecting the separation selectivity and efficiency including surfactant concentration, percent of cosurfactant (1-butanol), and percent of organic oily solvent (diethyl ether), temperature and pH were performed simultaneously using genetic algorithm method. A new software package, MLR-GA, was developed for this purpose. The results indicated that 73.6 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate, 13.64% (v/v) 1-butanol, 0.48% (v/v) diethyl ether, column temperature of 32.5 °C and 0.02 M phosphate buffer of pH 6.99 are the best conditions for separation of fat-soluble vitamins. At the optimized conditions, the calibration plots for the vitamins were obtained and detection limits (1.06–3.69 μg mL−1), accuracy (recoveries > 94.3), precision (RSD < 3.96) and linearity (0.01–10 mg mL−1) were estimated. Finally, the amount of vitamins in multivitamin syrup and a sample of fish oil capsule were determined. The results showed a good agreement with those reported by manufactures. 相似文献
The present study evaluates the binding of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) with cellulase in various experimental conditions
using potentiometric, fluorescence spectroscopy and turbidimetric techniques. The analysis of binding curves revealed the
existence of two sets of binding sets for CPC. The binding parameters were estimated and interpreted in terms of structural
viewpoints of cellulase. The observation of turbidity suggests that CPC molecules individually nucleate around cellulase/CMC
complex to form micelle-like structures. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis of cellulase/CMC-surfactant system showed that
these complexes could be compact to elucidate the mechanism of binding cellulase/CMC complex to CPC. The differential response
of the enzyme/CMC to surfactant, indicates that the interaction on the complex surface is strongly ionic and hydrophobic(cooperative)
in nature. A sequencing analysis was also conducted on β-1, 4-endoglucanase from A. niger (EglA) and others from family 12 in order to examine the nature of interaction involved in binding process and structure
of carbohydrate-protein complexes. The results suggest that the conserved residues are located in a more hydrophobic microenvironment
and apolar area energy is more than polar within enzyme structure. 相似文献
Whole and dehulled flours of millet cultivars Ashana and Dembi were stored for 30 and 60 days before and after radiation and/or cooking. Phytic acid and polyphenols contents were assayed for all treatments. The results revealed that the storage period was found to have no effect on phytate and polyphenols contents. Moreover, dehulling of the grains reduced more than 50% of phytate and polyphenols of both cultivars. Cooking of the raw whole and dehulled flour significantly (P≤0.05) reduced phytate and polyphenols contents for both cultivars. Radiation process alone had no effect on phytate and polyphenols contents but when followed by cooking significantly (P≤0.05) reduced the level of such antinutrients for the whole and dehulled flour of both cultivars. Dehulling alone significantly (P≤0.05) decreased Ca and P content but slightly decreased Fe content. Radiation alone or in combination with cooking was found to have slight effect on minerals content of the whole and dehulled raw flour for both cultivars. Cooking alone or in combination with radiation of whole or dehulled raw flour significantly (P≤0.05) improved the extractable Ca but had no significant (P≤0.05) effect on extractable P and Fe for both cultivars. 相似文献
Coating of rice husk (RH) surface with liquid natural rubber (LNR) and exposure to electron beam irradiation in air were studied. FTIR analysis on the LNR-coated RH (RHR) exposed to electron beam (EB) showed a decrease in the double bonds and an increase in hydroxyl and hydrogen bonded carbonyl groups arising from the chemical interaction between the active groups on RH surface with LNR. The scanning electron micrograph showed that the LNR formed a coating on the RH particles which transformed to a fine and clear fibrous layer at 20 kGy irradiation. The LNR film appeared as patches at 50 kGy irradiation due to degradation of rubber. Composites of natural rubber (NR)/high density polyethylene (HDPE)/RHR showed an optimum at 20–30 kGy dosage with the maximum stress, tensile modulus and impact strength of 6.5, 79 and 13.2 kJ/m2, respectively. The interfacial interaction between the modified RH and TPNR matrix had improved on exposure of RHR to e-beam at 20–30 kGy dosage. 相似文献
The molecule of 4-aminobenzohydrazide is essentially planar and geometric parameters conform to literature precedents. Supramolecular
N–H···O and N–H···N interactions combine to link molecules of 4-aminobenzohydrazide into a three-dimensional network. Weaker
N–H···N and N–H···π interactions consolidate the structure. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 5.411(2) ?, b = 14.000(6) ?, c = 9.894(4) ?, β = 103.917(7)o, and Z = 4. 相似文献
