Chemical treatments on the cuticle layer enhancing the uranium(VI) uptake from aqueous solution by amidoximated wool fibers

Urea, sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide were used to treat the cuticle layer of wool before graft copolymerization and amidoximation to enhance the uranium uptaking capacity of amidoximated wool fiber based adsorbent (Wool-g-AOs). The wool-g-AOs were used for recovery of U(VI) from aqueous solutions. The simulated nuclear industry effluent was used for investigating the selectivity and industrial applicability of Wool-g-AOs. The adsorption of uranium(VI) on Wool-g-AOs was pH dependent. The Langmuir model fitted well with the equilibrium data. Kinetic data were fitted well to pseudo second order model.

     

富氧条件下生物质基活性炭负载钾催化剂高选择性还原氮氧化物

研究了富氧环境中生物质基活性炭负载钾催化剂选择性还原氮氧化物的性能。结果表明,与煤基（褐煤）活性炭负载钾催化剂相比,生物质基（木屑）活性炭负载钾催化剂表现出高选择性还原NO能力,在2 h恒温稳态实验过程中能够保持80%的NO还原效率,而C-O₂反应活性仅为18%。X射线衍射、比表面积、X射线光电子能谱以及程序升温脱附实验表征结果显示,生物质基活性炭负载钾催化剂优异的选择性还原NO性能应归因于炭表面钾物种的高度分散性,这与催化剂的高比表面积以及大量的表面氧基团有关。另外,生物质基炭材料还原NO反应产物中具有较高的CO₂选择性。     

Development of nitrilase-mediated process for phenylacetic acid production from phenylacetonitrile

This study aimed at developing an efficient biotransformation process for phenylacetic acid production from phenylacetonitrile by using recombinant Escherichia coli M15 harboring a double mutant MG nitrilase (I113M/Y199G) from Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315. A yield of 2310 U/mL nitrilase was obtained by fermentation after the optimization of cultivation conditions, with a specific activity of 64 U/mg dcw. The MG nitrilase showed high substrate tolerance and completely hydrolyzed 100 mM phenylacetonitrile in 30 min under optimal conditions. To alleviate substrate inhibition, periodic or continuous batch-feeding of substrate was used during the biotransformation. Up to 164 g/L substrate was completely hydrolyzed in 9 h with continuous batch-feeding using resting cells, corresponding to 400 U/mL of nitrilase activity, and leading to production of 163.4 g/L phenylacetic acid. The hydrolysis process has potential application for phenylacetic acid production on a large scale.

A Competitor-switched Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of DNA

A competitor‐switched electrochemical sensor based on a generic displacement strategy was designed for DNA detection. In this strategy, an unmodified single‐stranded DNA (cDNA) completely complementary to the target DNA served as the molecular recognition element, while a hairpin DNA (hDNA) labeled with a ferrocene (Fc) and a thiol group at its terminals served as both the competitor element and the probe. This electrochemical sensor was fabricated by self‐assembling a dsDNA onto a gold electrode surface. The dsDNA was pre‐formed through the hybridization of Fc‐labeled hDNA and cDNA with their part complementary sequences. Initially, the labeled ferrocene in the dsDNA was far from surface of the electrode, the electrochemical sensor exhibited a "switch‐off" mode due to unfavorable electron transfer of Fc label. However, in the presence of target DNA, cDNA was released from hDNA by target DNA, the hairpin‐open hDNA restored its original hairpin structure and the ferrocene approached onto the electrode surface, thus the electrochemical sensor exhibited a "switch‐on" mode accompanying with a change in the current response. The experimental results showed that as low as 4.4×10⁻¹⁰ mol/L target DNA could be distinguishingly detected, and this method had obvious advantages such as facile operation, low cost and reagentless procedure.     

Photodegradation of Rhodamine B on Sulfur Doped ZnO/TiO2 Nanocomposite Photocatalyst under Visible-light Irradiation

Sulfur doped ZnO/TiO₂ nanocomposite photocatalysts were synthesized by a facile sol‐gel method. The structure and properties of catalysts were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV‐vis diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and N₂ desorption‐adsorption isotherm. The XRD study showed that TiO₂ was anatase phase and there was no obvious difference in crystal composition of various S‐ZnO/TiO₂. The XPS study showed that the Zn element exists as ZnO and S atoms form SO^2?₄. The prepared samples had mesoporosity revealed by N₂ desorption‐adsorption isotherm result. The degradation of Rhodamine B dye under visible light irradiation was chosen as probe reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/TiO₂ nanocomposite. The commercial TiO₂ photocatalyst (Degussa P25) was taken as standard photocatalyst to contrast the prepared different photocatalyst in current work. The improvement of the photocatalytic activity of S‐ZnO/TiO₂ composite photocatalyst can be attributed to the suitable energetic positions between ZnO and TiO₂, the acidity site caused by sulfur doping and the enlargement of the specific area. S‐3.0ZnO/TiO₂ exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation after Zn amount was optimized, which was 2.6 times higher than P25.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Thermal Behaviors of 4-Amino-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazole(ANTZ)and Its Derivatives

4‐Amino‐5‐nitro‐1,2,3‐triazole (ANTZ) and its derivatives, such as 2‐(4‐amino‐5‐nitro‐1,2,3‐trazole‐1‐yl)‐1,3,5‐trinitrobenzene (T‐ANTZ) and 4‐amino‐5‐nitro‐1,2,3‐triazole (M‐ANTZ), were synthesized and characterized, whose structures were confirmed by IR, NMR and elemental analysis. The thermal behaviors of ANTZ, T‐ANTZ and M‐ANTZ were studied by the methods of DSC and TG‐DTG, and the results showed that there is an obvious melting process of ANTZ with melting point of 278.38°C, while there is no melting process in the thermal behavior of T‐ANTZ and M‐ANTZ (the derivatives of ATNZ).
