采用简便的方法合成了20~40 nm长、56 m^2·g^-1的比表面积的羟基磷灰石纳米管(HAP)。然后用制备的HAP纳米管在水溶液中同时吸附Pb^2+、Cd^2+、Cu^2+、Co^2+、Ni^2+、Zn^2+和Hg^2+,其具有高的吸附能力,并能实现快速去除。此外,制备的HAP纳米管对7种重金属离子的脱附率均小于1%,表现出较强的稳定性。实验数据采用Langmuir等温线模型和Freundlich等温线模型进行分析。2个方程的应用结果表明,吸附平衡最适合Langmuir模型,单层饱和吸附能力为958.28 mg·g^-1,具有较好的吸附性能。通过能量色散X射线光谱(EDS)和X射线衍射(XRD)图进一步研究了吸附机理,结果表明,当溶液中Pb^2+离子数量足够时,吸附机理为Pb取代了HAP中的Ca,形成了更稳定的Pb5(PO4)3(OH)。上述实验研究预测了利用HAP纳米管处理含铅废水在环境污染治理中的可行性。

凝聚态化学研究中的动力学振动光谱理论与技术

化学变化的本质是化学键的形成与断裂。凝聚态化学的主要特征是分子内的物理与化学过程与周围环境之间的动态相互作用和动力学耦合,不仅会影响化学键形成与断裂的化学反应平衡与反应速率,还会改变化学反应的走向。动力学振动光谱技术是探测凝聚态体相中与表面上各种微观分子细节最为有力的当代谱学表征技术之一。与脉冲核磁技术类似,科学家们使用一组精心设计的激光脉冲在凝聚态体系中激发复杂的光学响应,所产生的信号中包含了比传统吸收光谱丰富得多的反应机理、分子与溶液结构、分子运动、电荷与能量传递等微观信息。近年来,各种动力学振动光谱被运用于凝聚态化学的各个领域,尤其是在溶液态和表界面态领域,获得了一系列突破性进展,并且处于不断发展的过程之中。在本文中,我们将回顾及展望动力学振动光谱技术的基本概念、实验方法和理论框架,以及它们在凝聚态及表面态化学中的重要应用。     

pH electrodes based on iridium oxide films for marine monitoring

The pH is an important parameter that affects the growth and development of marine organisms, environmental changes, and industrial and agricultural production processes. Nowadays, important trends in pH detection and analysis are higher stability, adaptation to extreme environmental conditions, miniaturization, portability, and digital intelligence. Several studies have focused on the application of the iridium oxide film (IROF) pH electrodes in water quality monitoring and physiological analysis. The central aim of this work was to review the preparation techniques of the IROF pH electrodes and to expand their application in the field of marine monitoring. The studied methods include electrochemical deposition, electrochemical growth, sputtering deposition, heat treatment, and novel preparation methods. The IROF pH electrodes prepared via these methods are more sensitive, have a wider pH measurement ranges, and can be miniaturized further than traditional glass and pH photometer. Hence, in environmental analysis, combining IROF pH electrodes with wireless technology for the physiological and biochemical analysis of marine organisms, seawater, and sediment pore water is an important development tendency.     

Real‐Time Atomic‐Scale Visualization of Reversible Copper Surface Activation during the CO Oxidation Reaction

By using in situ aberration‐corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy, for the first time at atomic level, the dynamic evolution of the Cu surface is captured during CO oxidation. Under reaction conditions, the Cu surface is activated, typically involving 2–3 atomic layers with the formation of a reversible metastable phase that only exists during catalytic reactions. The distinctive role of CO and O₂ in the surface activation is revealed, which features CO exposure to lead to surface roughening and consequently formation of low‐coordinated Cu atoms, while O₂ exposure induces a quasi‐crystalline CuOx phase. Supported by DFT calculations, it is shown that crystalline CuOx reversibly transforms into the amorphous phase, acting as an active species to facilitate the interaction of gas reactants and catalyzing CO oxidation.     

Organophosphate esters by GC–MS: An optimized method for aquatic risk assessment

Organophosphate esters used as flame retardants and plasticizers are ubiquitous contaminants in surface waters. Many studies indicate that these compounds are neurotoxicants, endocrine disruptors, and may affect reproduction and development of aquatic organisms. Thus, analytical methods that allow accurate quantification of these contaminants at environmentally relevant concentrations are desirable for risk assessment studies. In this study, a method based on solid phase extraction and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was developed for determination of organophosphate esters in river water extracts. Multivariate optimization was used to determine the best conditions for injection of larger volumes of sample in a Programmable Temperature Vaporization inlet. Furthermore, the matrix effect on the instrumental response was evaluated and compensated by association of extraction‐blank‐matched calibration and isotopically labeled focus standards. The method quantification limits ranged from 0.009 to 0.11 µg/L, staying below the predicted non‐effect concentration for the aquatic compartment for all analytes, which is a requisite for using in risk assessment studies. The method was applied to freshwater samples collected in rivers from the Sao Paulo State, Brazil, and eight out of the ten target organophosphate esters were quantified, being tris(2‐chloroisopropyl) phosphate and tris(phenyl) phosphate the most frequently detected compounds.
