SAPO系磷铝分子筛的晶化及其复合催化剂对CO加氢的影响

探索了机械搅拌、配料组成、晶化参数等因素对SAPO-34和SAPO-5磷铝分子筛水热合成的影响,考察了混粒（颗粒混合）工艺和研粉（粉体研磨）工艺对“磷铝分子筛/尖晶石”复合催化剂制备的影响。与SAPO-34分子筛相比,SAPO-5分子筛晶体对机械作用的耐受性较强。用XRD、N2物理吸附、FESEM、EDS研究了材料的结构和织构特征。对比了四种复合催化剂的CO催化加氢性能。能够使复合催化剂更能抑制C–C偶合、从而更富产低碳烃的物相次序为：SAPO-34 > SAPO-5 > “ZnAlCrO4”尖晶石相。能够使复合催化剂具有更高CO加氢活性（即CO转化率）的物相次序为：“ZnAlCrO4”尖晶石相 > SAPO-34 > SAPO-5。     

电絮凝处理脱硫废水中重金属及动力学模型

采用电絮凝法处理脱硫废水中重金属离子,研究去除过程的影响因素及动力学模型,并对电絮凝产物进行分析。考察电絮凝时间、电流密度、废水pH、曝气量对电絮凝法处理重金属离子效果的影响。结果表明,电絮凝时间40min,电流密度4mA/cm2,废水pH=7,曝气量0.4m3/h时,四种金属去除率达90%。电絮凝产物为铁的多核羟基络合物,且去除过程具有一级动力学反应特征。     

Valuation of guaranteed annuity options using a stochastic volatility model for equity prices

Guaranteed annuity options are options providing the right to convert a policyholder’s accumulated funds to a life annuity at a fixed rate when the policy matures. These options were a common feature in UK retirement savings contracts issued in the 1970’s and 1980’s when interest rates were high, but caused problems for insurers as the interest rates began to fall in the 1990’s. Currently, these options are frequently sold in the US and Japan as part of variable annuity products. The last decade the literature on pricing and risk management of these options evolved. Until now, for pricing these options generally a geometric Brownian motion for equity prices is assumed. However, given the long maturities of the insurance contracts a stochastic volatility model for equity prices would be more suitable. In this paper explicit expressions are derived for prices of guaranteed annuity options assuming stochastic volatility for equity prices and either a 1-factor or 2-factor Gaussian interest rate model. The results indicate that the impact of ignoring stochastic volatility can be significant.     

Biosensors as a tool for the antioxidant status evaluation

Antioxidants are one of the main ingredients that protect food attributes by preventing oxidation that occurs during processing, distribution and end preparation of food. Physiological antioxidant protection involves a variety of chemical system of endogenous and exogenous origin in a multiplicity of pathways. Associate to this, researches have been directed in the development of methods as biosensors that can characterize antioxidants capable of removing harmful radicals in living organisms in an adequate way. Biosensors have represented a broad area of technology useful for environmental, food monitoring, clinical applications and can represent a good alternative method to evaluate the antioxidant status.The demonstration of the highlighted current application of biosensor as a potential tool to evaluate the antioxidant status is the main aim of this review.
