Polymeric Microfiltration Membranes Modification by Supercritical Solvent Impregnation—Potential Application in Open Surgical Wound Ventilation

This study investigated supercritical solvent impregnation of polyamide microfiltration membranes with carvacrol and the potential application of the modified membranes in ventilation of open surgical wounds. The impregnation process was conducted in batch mode at a temperature of 40 °C under pressures of 10, 15, and 20 MPa for contact times from 1 to 6 h. FTIR was applied to confirm the presence of carvacrol on the membrane surface. In the next step, the impact of the modification on the membrane structure was studied using scanning electron and ion beam microscopy and cross-filtration tests. Further, the release of carvacrol in carbon dioxide was determined, and finally, an open thoracic cavity model was applied to evaluate the efficiency of carvacrol-loaded membranes in contamination prevention. Carvacrol loadings of up to 43 wt.% were obtained under the selected operating conditions. The swelling effect was detectable. However, its impact on membrane functionality was minor. An average of 18.3 µg of carvacrol was released from membranes per liter of carbon dioxide for the flow of interest. Membranes with 30–34 wt.% carvacrol were efficient in the open thoracic cavity model applied, reducing the contamination levels by 27% compared to insufflation with standard membranes.     

纳米HZSM-5沸石酸度的调节及对液化气裂解反应的影响

通过对纳米HZSM-5沸石进行钠离子浸渍改性和在小型常压固定床反应器中开展碳四液化气催化裂解制丙烯反应研究,探讨了催化剂酸度对反应选择性的影响.结果表明,钠离子改性能够选择性地去除纳米HZSM-5沸石表面的强酸中心,而对弱酸中心则基本无影响.在用钠离子改性基本上消除催化剂强酸中心的情况下,混合碳四液化气的催化裂解反应主要发生在丁烯分子上,丙烯的最高选择性可达60%,丙烯和乙烯的总选择性可达80%.     

制备方法对Pt-Sn-K-Mg/γ-Al2O3催化剂正十二烷脱氢性能的影响

以正十二烷脱氢反应为探针反应,采用顺序浸渍、乙醇共浸渍、盐酸共浸渍的方法制备了Pt-Sn-K-Mg/γ-Al2O3催化剂,并采用NH3-TPD、CO脉冲吸附、H2-TPR、准原位XPS等表征手段探究浸渍顺序和溶剂对催化剂构效关系的影响。结果表明,盐酸水溶液共浸渍的方法制备的催化剂表现出了最佳的初始活性和较好的稳定性。催化剂的弱酸性位点的增加有利于Pt的分散,从而提高催化性能。采用乙醇为溶剂的共浸渍方法更有利于PtSn间形成更强的相互作用生成更多的PtSn合金,这对初始活性不利,但对选择性影响较小。     

Preparation of SiO2-TiO2 Aerogels Using Supercritical Impregnation

The preparation of SiO₂-TiO₂ aerogels by supercritical impregnation of titanium alkoxides into silica alcogels was investigated. A mixture of CO₂ and 2-propanol with dissolved titanium tetraisopropoxide modified with acetylacetone was used as the impregnation medium. Prior to the experiments, the supercritical behaviour of the impregnation solution was investigated. The microstructure and properties of aerogels prepared by the supercritical impregnation method were almost identical to those generated by the liquid impregnation. However, the time for impregnation was substantially decreased and the homogeneity of the impregnated titanium distribution on the aerogel increased.

催化剂活性组分的负载方法对CVD法制备碳纳米管的影响

催化剂是影响CVD法制备碳纳米管的主要因素。本文报道了用配合浸渍法制备的催化剂在碳纳米管制备中的应用。XRD和TEM研究表明：与普通浸渍法制备的催化剂（B－Co/SiO2)相比,用配合浸渍法制备的催化剂（A－Co/SiO2)颗粒小,金属分散度高,生成碳纳米管的温度低。对于配合浸渍法制备的催化剂（A－Co/SiO2),低温（650－750℃）有利于生成直径小且管径均匀的碳纳米管;高温（800－900℃）容易生成直径大且层数多的碳纳米管或碳纳米棒。     

Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide over Cu/CeO_2 Catalysts Prepared by SMAI

Introduction Carbon monoxide is ubiquitous air pollutants emitted by many sources. Total oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is employed to meet environmental regulations in an economic way. Precious metals (Pt, Pd) are well-known oxidation catalysts with high activity and stability, and are widely used for exhaust gas emission control. However, the high cost of precious metals and their sensitivity to sulfur poisoning have long motivated the search for substitute catalysts. …     

Differentiation between the Green and Turkish Blue Solid Solutions of Vanadium in a Zircon Lattice Obtained by the Sol-Gel Process

In this communication, zircon containing vanadium samples which gradually turn greenish have been prepared by controlling the composition (fluoride addition) and the method of preparation (sol-gel, ceramic and solid impregnation) in order to investigate how to affect the shape and size of the vanadium particles, and their location, clustering and distribution. The level of green color, and consequently the amount of V5+ in the sample, could be associated with the development of an Si-O-Si network in the zircon lattice, bonding with the highly reactive zirconium precursors.
