Hierarchical Hybrid Peroxidase Catalysts for Remediation of Phenol Wastewater

We report a new family of hierarchical hybrid catalysts comprised of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–magnetic nanoparticles for advanced oxidation processes and demonstrate their utility in the removal of phenol from water. The immobilized HRP catalyzes the oxidation of phenols in the presence of H₂O₂, producing free radicals. The phenoxy radicals react with each other in a non‐enzymatic process to form polymers, which can be removed by precipitation with salts or condensation. The hybrid peroxidase catalysts exhibit three times higher activity than free HRP and are able to remove three times more phenol from water compared to free HRP under similar conditions. In addition, the hybrid catalysts reduce substrate inhibition and limit inactivation from reaction products, which are common problems with free or conventionally immobilized enzymes. Reusability is improved when the HRP–magnetic nanoparticle hybrids are supported on micron‐scale magnetic particles, and can be retained with a specially designed magnetically driven reactor. The performance of the hybrid catalysts makes them attractive for several industrial and environmental applications and their development might pave the way for practical applications by eliminating most of the limitations that have prevented the use of free or conventionally immobilized enzymes.     

BiOI/Bi_2WO_6对甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解及光催化机理(英文)

采用简单的沉积方法制备了不同碘化氧铋含量的BiOI/Bi2WO6光催化剂,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)和BET比表面积测量对其进行了表征。在紫外和可见光的照射下,使用甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解评价了BiOI/Bi2WO6催化剂的光催化性能。结果表明:与商业P25和纯Bi2WO6相比,13.2%BiOI/Bi2WO6光催化剂具有更高的紫外和可见光催化性能。这明显增加的光催化活性主要归功于光生电子和空穴在Bi2WO6和BiOI界面上的有效转移,降低了电子-空穴对的复合。基于BiOI和Bi2WO6的能带结构,提出了光生载流子的一种转移过程。自由基清除剂的实验表明,·OH,h+,·O2-和H2O2,特别是h+,共同支配了甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解过程。     

ZnCl2、KOH和HNO3改性MWCNT对苯酚的吸附行为研究

通过扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、N₂吸附分析仪及Boehm滴定法获得ZnCl₂、KOH和HNO₃化学处理对高纯多壁碳纳米管的结构和表面含氧官能团的影响,通过批处理实验考察吸附条件（吸附时间、初始浓度、温度）对处理前后的碳纳米管吸附苯酚行为的影响,并采用准一级、准二级、Evolich动力学模型和热力学方程拟合其吸附数据,分析其动力学行为、热力学行为和吸附机理。结果表明,虽然ZnCl₂、KOH和HNO₃化学处理法均未对碳纳米管BET比表面积产生显著影响,但会影响其表面化学性质（即,对于ZnCl₂和KOH化学处理降低表面羧基、内酯基含量和增大碱性官能团量,而对于HNO₃化学处理可以增大表面羧基、内酯基含量,而碱性官能团略有增加）;改性处理影响碳纳米管去除苯酚效率：由于ZnCl₂和KOH改性处理降低碳纳米管表面羧基量,故其提高了苯酚去除率,而HNO₃处理则略减小碳纳米管的苯酚去除率,可能是由于碳纳米管结构和表面化学性质共同影响所致;碳纳米管的苯酚去除率均随苯酚溶液初始浓度的增大而减小;高温不利于吸附;热力学研究发现碳纳米管吸附苯酚过程是自发的和放热的,属于物理吸附;动力学研究表明,吸附过程符合准二级动力学方程。通过ZnCl₂和KOH化学处理,可以显著提高碳纳米管对苯酚的吸附性能。

Abstract

A convenient, rapid H₂SO₄-promoted regioselective monobromination reaction with N-bromosuccinimide was developed. The desired para-monobrominated or ortho-monobrominated products of phenol derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields with high selectivity. Regioselective chlorination and iodination were also achieved in the presence of H₂SO₄ using N-chlorosuccinimide and N-iodosuccinimide, respectively.

以不同结构的SiO_2为载体,采用传统浸渍法,合成3种负载型的Cu/SiO_2.使用X射线衍射(XRD)、 N_2的等温吸-脱附、紫外漫反射光谱(DR UV-vis)、 X射线电子能谱(XPS)、等离子原子发射光谱(ICP)和H_2的程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)方法对样品进行表征.考察了以H_2O_2为氧化剂,样品对苯酚直接羟基化合成苯二酚的催化性能.结果表明:具有介孔和MFI结构的二氧化硅(MS-1),稳定性强,有利于引入Cu物种在其孔内扩散及分布,形成更多的高分散CuO.一定反应条件下, Cu/MS-1催化活性最高,苯二酚的收率和选择性分别高达38.91%和81.5%. Cu/MS-1催化剂重复使用10次后,苯二酚的收率为37.64%,而Cu含量仅从2.5%变为2.1%,具有较强稳定性;高分散CuO是目标反应的主要活性物种.     

IRMPD Spectra of Protonated Hydroxybenzaldehydes: Evidence of Torsional Barriers in Carboxonium Ions

Protonation at the formyl oxygen atom of benzaldehydes leading to the formation of carboxonium ions yields two distinct isomers, depending on the relative orientation of the proton either cis or trans with respect to the hydrogen atom on the adjacent carbon. In this context, the IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra of protonated ortho, meta, and para-hydroxybenzaldehydes ( OH−BZH⁺ ), delivered into the gas phase by electrospray ionization of hydro-alcoholic solutions, are reported in the 3200–3700 cm⁻¹ spectral range. This range is characteristic of O−H stretching modes and thus able to differentiate cis and trans carboxonium isomers. Comparison between IRMPD spectra and DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(2df2p) level suggests that for both p- OH−BZH⁺ and m- OH−BZH⁺ only cis conformers are present in the ion population analyzed. For o- OH−BZH⁺ , IRMPD spectroscopy points to a mixture comprising one trans and more than one cis conformers. The energy barrier for cis–trans isomerization calculated for each OH−BZH⁺ isomer is a measure of the degree of π-electron delocalization. Furthermore, IRMPD spectra of p- OH−BZH⁺ , m- OH−BZH⁺ and protonated phenol (this last used as reference) were recorded also in the fingerprint range. Both the observed C−O and O−H stretching vibrations appear to be a measure of π-electron delocalization in the ions.

Preparation of nano/micro-scale column-like topography on PDMS surfaces via vapor deposition: Dependence on volatility solvents

In this work, a column-like nano/micro-scale topography surface has been prepared via trichloro(octyl)silane (TCOS) vapor deposition on the air plasma oxidized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMSOx) surface. TCOS was mixed into n-heptyl alcohol and dimethyl-silicone oil to form a series of mixture. TCOS could anchor to the PDMSOx surface to form column-like nano/micro-scale topography while n-heptyl alcohol and TCOS volatilized to the PDMSOx surface in the subsequent vapor phase process. These surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection, contact angle measuring system and atomic force microscopy. It was shown that TCOS had been successfully assembled on the polydimethylsiloxane surface. N-heptyl alcohol mixed into alkylsiloxane could regulate the scale and roughness of column-like nano/micro-scale topography.     

Investigation of ion-pair precipitates of selected alkoxylates and complex salts of specific metal cations by liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry

Liquid secondary ion (LSI) mass spectra of ion-pair precipitates obtained for Triton X-100 with strontium, lead, cadmium and mercury tetraphenylborates and for selected butoxylene-ethoxylene monoalkyl ethers with barium tetraiodobismuthate(III) are discussed. On the basis of LSI mass spectra, recorded in both positive and negative modes, the formulae of the ion-pair precipitates were determined. On the basis of B/E mass spectra, the fragmentation routes of [M - H + Ba](+) ions for butoxylene-ethoxylene monoalkyl ether complexes of barium and [M - H + Cd](+) ions for the Triton X-100 complex of cadmium are proposed.
