Catalytic actions of alkaline salts in reactions between 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid and cellulose: I. Anhydride formation

1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) reacts with cellulose in two steps: anhydride formation of adjacent carboxyl groups in BTCA and esterification of anhydride with cellulose, which are generally catalyzed by alkaline salts including sodium hypophosphite. The role of the salts in the reactions has been unclear. As an effort in fully understanding the catalytic effects of the salts, reaction mechanisms of alkaline metal ions and acid anions of the salts were investigated in details in the reactions. In this research, functions of alkaline metal ions on the formation of anhydride were studied. Results indicated that the existence of lithium, sodium or potassium promoted the formation of anhydride, and potassium ion was the most efficient one among these three ions. Besides, the reactions of a BTCA molecule with cellulose undergo a step-by-step process, i.e. formation of one anhydride and esterification of the anhydride with cellulose, and then formation of another anhydride and esterification of it to establish cross-linking by the BTCA.

V-Ce/TiO2脱硝催化剂的SO2中毒机理研究

通过表相、体相硫组分的表征分析,结合不同温度下含硫气氛下的活性演变及原位红外研究,获得了VCe(0.1)/TiO2催化剂在180、240和300℃下含硫氛围的NH3-SCR反应中毒机理. 180℃下催化剂上沉积了大量的硫酸氢铵和少量的金属硫酸盐,共同导致在8 h内活性从77.8%降至51.2%,热再生后的活性测试结果表明硫酸氢铵的沉积导致了催化剂活性降低8.3%,金属硫酸盐的沉积导致了催化剂活性降低18.3%.原位红外结果表明中毒后催化剂在180℃下的NH3-SCR反应遵循L-H反应路径.随着温度升高至240、300℃,催化剂上沉积的硫酸氢铵逐渐减少,金属硫酸盐含量增加.不同温度下的抗硫活性结果表明,低温NH3-SCR反应需要较高的氧化还原性能,中高温NH3-SCR反应则需要较高的酸性,金属硫酸盐的生成导致了氧化还原性能降低、酸性增加,因此低温NH3-SCR活性大幅降低,中高温活性则能保持在100%.     

Aqueous pretreatment for reactive ball milling of cellulose

Aqueous swelling pretreatment of cellulose was found highly effective for reactive ball milling to prepare surface-esterified cellulose nanofibers. Compared with starting from dry cellulose, water- or 2 % NaOH-pre-swollen materials were esterified and dispersed in significantly shorter milling time. Especially commercial kraft pulp was difficult to disperse even with water pretreatment, but 2 % NaOH treatment gave full surface esterification with a bulk degree of substitution of 0.69 by 12-h ball milling, presumably because of removal of non-cellulosic components.

Rhodamine B as ligand for affinity chromatography. Fixation studies onto cellulose by a curing method

Rhodamine B was post-grafted onto cellulose in order to be lately used for affinity chromatography as a biomimetic ligand. A curing method has been developed to bound rhodamine onto cellulose via esterification, by heating an intimate mixture of both, at different temperatures above 180 °C. The lactone form of rhodamine B has been proposed as the effective reactant generated in situ during the experimental conditions. Pursuing further improvements of the amount of rhodamine bound onto cellulose, identical experiments were carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of zinc chloride and sodium hypophosphite. The grafted materials obtained were quantitatively and qualitatively characterized using SEM, tlc, GPC, EA, FT-IR and Vis spectroscopy.     

Size-dependent reactions of ammonium bisulfate clusters with dimethylamine

The reaction kinetics of ammonium bisulfate clusters with dimethylamine (DMA) gas were investigated using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS). Clusters ranged in size from 1 to 10 bisulfate ions. Although displacement of the first several ammonium ions by DMA occurred with near unit efficiency, displacement of the final ammonium ion was cluster size dependent. For small clusters, all ammonium ions are exposed to incoming DMA molecules, allowing for facile exchange ("surface" exchange). However, with increasing cluster size, an ammonium ion can be trapped in an inaccessible region of the cluster ("core" exchange), thereby rendering exchange difficult. DMA was also observed to add onto existing dimethylaminium bisulfate clusters above a critical size, whereas ammonia did not add onto ammonium bisulfate clusters. The results suggest that as the cluster size increases, di-dimethylaminium sulfate formation becomes more favorable. The results of this study give further evidence to suggest that ambient sub-3 nm diameter particles are likely to contain aminium salts rather than ammonium salts.

Solid-State fermentation of phytase from cassava dregs

Phytases produced by numerous microorganisms and plants degrade phytic acid that has chelated with metal ions in food and feed. It is important to study phytase for the role of metal ions in nutrition of animals and humans as wellas in the reduction of organic phosphate content of a queous environment. This article reports on solid-state fermentation of phytase from a new substrate of cassava dregs. Large quantities of cassava dregs are produced in tropical areas as a by product of cassava starch processing. Protein and inorganic salts were found to be low in cassava dregs. Cassava dregs could be employed for phytase synthesis after the addition of a nitrogen source and mineral salts. Ammonium nitrate was the best nitrogen source among the nitrogen sources investigated, including beef extract, yeast extract, urea, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate promoted phytase production from cassava dregs. A maximum phytase yield of 6.73 U/g of dry mass was obtained. The obtained phytase was stable at feed-processing temperature, since 70% of initial enzyme activity was maintained after 30 min of treatment at 75°C.     

外力辅助分散作用下环氧树脂粘土纳米复合材料中粘土的微观结构与解离机理研究

采用不同分散方法(机械搅拌、高速均质搅拌和球磨分散)制备环氧树脂粘土纳米复合材料,研究了分散方法对不同有机粘土解离结构和纳米复合材料力学性能的影响,并在此基础上探讨了粘土的解离机理.结果表明,普通机械搅拌只能使小粒径粘土或大粒径粘土团聚体的外部片层解离;施加一定的外力(如高速均质搅拌)促进粘土团聚体分散,有利于粘土片层的解离;利用剪切摩擦作用较强的球磨法分散粘土,不同处理剂改性粘土的内外片层都可以充分解离,而有机改性剂中酸性质子的催化作用对粘土片层解离的影响不大,只要粒径足够小,片层解离的驱动力(基体弹性力、反应性等)能够克服其所受阻力(片层引力、层外基体粘性阻力、层内粘性引力等),粘土内外各片层将会同时向外迁移而解离.纳米复合材料的力学性能大大改善,冲击强度和弯曲强度分别提高近50%和8%;     

Preparation,characterization, and properties of fast‐responding bulk hydrogel and treated bleached banana pulp

The reaction between bleached banana pulp and pure maleic anhydride (MA) was investigated. The reaction was conducted in a reactor in the presence of xylene used as a solvent and sodium hypophosphite as catalyst. The appearance of infrared absorption bands at 1891 and 1708 cm^?1 indicated that MA chemically reacted by esterification with bleached banana pulp. However, evidence of an esterification reaction was obtained between cellulose and MA. The production of fast‐responding bulk hydrogel with a high swelling ratio was also investigated. This hydrogel was synthesized first by the formation of maleated acrylamide particles and then by the graft copolymerization of the particles with cellulose. The maleated acrylamide particles were characterized with mass spectroscopy, and the formed hydrogl was characterized by FT‐IR. The esterification reaction between bleached banana pulp and maleated acrylamide was also studied. Steam absorption for bulk hydrogel, maleated acrylamide‐treated bleached banana pulp, MA‐treated cellulose and bleached banana pulp is higher than the steam absorption for untreated cellulose and bleached banana pulp. Compared with treated bleached banana pulp and cellulose, the hydrogel had very high swelling ratios and much faster swelling rates attributed to the collaboration of the ionized particles and bulk hydrogel. The number of ionic maleated acrylamide groups in the hydrogel affected the swelling behavior. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

SCR烟气脱硝对PM2.5排放特性的影响机制研究

采用V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂催化剂,对选择性催化还原(SCR)烟气脱硝装置出口PM_2.5物性进行分析,考察SO₂氧化与PM_2.5形成的关系,并采用原位漫反射红外光谱(DRIFTS)对SCR脱硝过程中NH₄HSO₄的生成及SCR脱硝温度条件下的NH₄HSO₄热稳定性进行了分析研究。结果表明,经SCR脱硝后,亚微米级细颗粒数浓度明显升高,且形貌特征及元素组成发生变化,形成的细颗粒主要为NH₄HSO₄及少量(NH₄)₂SO₄;SCR烟气脱硝对PM_2.5排放特性的影响主要通过以下途径:一是SO₃与SCR烟气脱硝系统中的NH₃、H₂O反应形成;二是SO₃与逃逸的NH₃、H₂O在SCR脱硝装置后续系统发生反应形成硫酸氢铵与硫酸铵;此外还与SO₃和烟气中游离的CaO等碱土金属氧化物反应形成硫酸盐,随烟气携带出SCR脱硝装置有关。     

NH3和SO3对硫酸氢铵和硫酸铵生成的影响

通过建立具有更精确的SO₃组分的实验室模拟烟气系统,同步研究了反应物浓度对硫酸氢铵和硫酸铵生成率和生成进度（生成速率）的影响。在实验浓度范围内,硫酸氢铵的开始生成温度为230-270℃,峰值温度为180-240℃,硫酸铵开始生成温度及峰值温度总体上比硫酸氢铵低40℃左右。硫酸氢铵的生成率明显高于硫酸铵,根据NH₃和SO₃浓度与物质的量比不同,烟温到120℃时,硫酸氢铵的生成率为64%-90%,硫酸铵的生成率为6%-15%,硫酸氢铵的生成率为硫酸铵的6-10倍。反应物浓度的增加会促进硫酸氢铵和硫酸铵的生成,且SO₃较NH₃更有利于硫酸氢铵的生成。硫酸氢铵和硫酸铵生成份额随温度的变化呈单峰状,且随着反应物浓度的增加,其峰值所在的温度区间逐渐升高。     

Conversions between ordered and disordered cellulose. Effects of mechanical treatment followed by cyclic wetting and drying

An investigation into the effects of mechanical treatment and hydration on the order of cellulose substrates (microcrystalline cellulose and Cladophora cellulose) was performed by the use of ball milling followed by cyclic wetting and drying. The results, monitored by¹³C-CP/MAS NMR-spectroscopy, were evaluated by calculation of the crystallinity indices and principal component analysis of the NMR data acquired. The results showed that a large part of the disorder induced by the mechanical treatment of cellulose by ball milling is reversible and reordering upon hydration leads to the cellulose I form initially present. The C4 signals corresponding to the reversibly disordered cellulose chains are observed in the amorphous region between 79 and 86 ppm in the¹³C-CP/MAS NMR-spectra together with signals from cellulose chains on the surface of ordered regions. The peak cluster which contains the C2, C3 and C5 ring carbons can be divided into two specific spectral regions; one between 74 and 77 ppm largely originates from ring carbons within disordered cellulose structures, and one between 70 and 74 ppm contains larger contributions from ordered cellulose. The behaviour of the celluloses upon milling is in accordance with a concept of ordered cellulose fibrils containing amorphous cellulose mainly as surface layers and induced reversible lattice distortions.     

Application of catalysts for obtaining 1,6-anhydrosaccharides from cellulose and wood by fast pyrolysis

The present work is devoted to the estimation of the effect of phosphoric acid and Fe³⁺ ions on the 1,6-anhydrosaccharides levoglucosan (LG) and levoglucosenone (LGone) contents in volatile products obtained from wood and microcrystalline cellulose by analytical pyrolysis. It was shown that the LG and LGone contents can be influenced by the pre-treatment. Iron was introduced into the biomass either by soaking in iron(III) sulfate solution alone or in the presence of ammonium, a treatment, in the course of which iron oxihydroxide is formed. It was demonstrated that a previous decationization of wood plays an important role for the subsequent results of Fe³⁺ ion treatment.The 1,6-anhydrosaccharides content in volatile products and the ratio of LG/LGone is governed by the phosphoric acid concentration. The same is true for cellulose soaked by iron sulfate: at higher concentration, the LGone content increases and the LG/LGone ratio decreases. The mechanism of the action of iron ions depends on the iron species formed upon the cellulose-containing raw materials pre-treatment procedures with iron sulfate. Upon pyrolysis, the adsorbed iron sulfate increases the amount of both LG and LGone in volatile products through the acidic catalysis mechanism owing to sulfate anions activity. The pre-treatment by the ion-exchange method could be considered as an efficient technique for obtaining the biooil containing levoglucosan in high content: 44.8% from cellulose and 27.3% from wood. The results are interpreted based on the quantitative evaluation of the pyrograms and the ESR spectra of the treated wood.     

One Step Conversion of Wheat Straw to Sugars by Simultaneous Ball Milling, Mild Acid, and Fungus Penicillium simplicissimum Treatment

Wheat straw is one of the major lignocellulosic plant residues in many countries including China. An attractive alternative is the utilization of wheat straw for bioethanol production. This article mainly studies a simple one-step wet milling with Penicillium simplicissimum and weak acid to hydrolysis of wheat straw. The optimal condition for hydrolysis was ball milling 48?h in citrate solvent (pH?=?4) with P. simplicissimum H5 at the speed of 500?rpm and the yield of sugar increased with increased milling time. Corresponding structure transformations before and after milling analyzed by X-ray diffraction, transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and environmental scanning electron microscopy clearly indicated that this combined treatment could be attributed to the crystalline and chemical structure changes of cellulose in wheat straw during ball milling. This combined treatment of ball milling, mild acid, and fungus hydrolysis enabled the conversion of the wheat straw. Compared with traditional method of ball milling, this work showed a more simple, novel, and environmentally friendly way in mechanochemical treatment of wheat straw.
