Determination of carbonate content in barite ore by headspace gas chromatography

This paper reports a method for determining the carbonate content in barite ore using headspace gas chromatography. Based on the acidification reaction, the carbonate in the barite ore was converted to CO₂ in a closed headspace vial. When the carbonate content was significant, the pressure caused changes in the CO₂ and O₂ signals and affected the measurement accuracy. It was found that carbonate content is proportional to the intensity ratio of the CO₂ to O₂ signals. Thus, the carbonate content in barite ore can be measured indirectly using a theoretical model. The results showed that the carbonate in 3 g of barite ore sample with a particle size of 74 μm could react completely with a hydrochloric acid solution (2 mol/L) at 65°C for 5 min. The method described herein had good precision (relative standard deviation < 4.14%) and accuracy (relative differences < 6.12%). Further, the limit of quantification was 0.07 mol/L. Owing to its simplicity and speed, this method can be used for the batch determination of carbonate content in barite ore.

Synthesis,Characterization and Application of Some Axially Chiral Binaphthyl Phosphoric Acids in Asymmetric Mannich Reaction

Two novel chiral Br?nsted acids 3b and 3c were prepared without involving the complexity of Suzuki coupling. Catalyst 3c bearing two additional hydroxyl groups at 3 and 3′ positions of axially chiral 1,1‐binaphthalene‐2,2′‐diol phosphoric acid was applied in a model Mannich reaction to afford β‐amino ester in high yield (92%) and enantiomeric excess (91%) at low reacting temperature of ?40°C. In addition, those β‐amino ester derivatives with high yields and excellent enatioselectivities were obtained in the presence of catalyst 3c under the above condition.

Nucleophilic β‐Carbon Activation of Propionic Acid as a 3‐Carbon Synthon by Carbene Organocatalysis

Direct β‐carbon activation of propionic acid (C₂H₅CO₂H) by carbene organocatalysis has been developed. This activation affords the smallest azolium homoenolate intermediate (without any substituent) as a 3‐carbon nucleophile for enantioselective reactions. Propionic acid is an excellent raw material because it is cheap, stable, and safe. This approach provides a much better solution to azolium homoenolate synthesis than the previously established use of acrolein (enal without any substituent), which is expensive, unstable, and toxic.     

Three-dimensional roselike α-Ni(OH)2 assembled from nanosheet building blocks for non-enzymatic glucose detection

Glucose detection plays very important roles in diagnostics and management of diabetes. The search for novel catalytic materials with appropriate architectures is the key step in the fabrication of highly sensitive glucose sensors. In this work, α-Ni(OH)₂ roselike structures (Ni(OH)₂-RS) assembled from nanosheet building blocks were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method through the hydrolysis of nickel chloride in the mixed solvents of water and ethanol with the assistance of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The structure and morphology of the roselike α-Ni(OH)₂ were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherm measurement. TEM and FE-SEM images showed that the synthesized Ni(OH)₂ was roselike and the size of the leaf-shaped nanosheet was about 5 nm in thickness, which leads to larger active surface areas and faster electron transfer for the detection of glucose. Compared with the bare GCE and bulk Ni(OH)₂/GCE, the Ni(OH)₂-RS/GCE had higher catalytic activity toward the oxidation of glucose. Under the optimal conditions, the Ni(OH)₂-RS/GCE offers a variety of merits, such as a wide linear response window for glucose concentrations ranging from 0.87 μM to 10.53 mM, short response time (3 s), a lower detection limit of 0.08 μM (S/N = 3), as well as long term stability and repeatability.
