Encapsulation of Microbial Cells into Silica Gel

This work deals with changes in microbial phenol degradation and cell proliferation caused by immobilization into silica gel. Mixed microbial culture and the yeast Candida tropicalis were immobilized in silica layers and pieces prepared by mixing of prepolymerized tetraethoxysilane with cell suspension. The phenol degradation rate of cells entrapped in silica gel was compared with those immobilized into an organic polymer-polyurethane. The phenol degradation efficiency decreased in the following order: free cell suspension > cells entrapped into polyurethane foam > cells entrapped into prepolymerized TEOS. Inside the silica there was no growth observed by optical microscope. The immobilization of bacterium Pseudomonas species 2 into silica gel, cells which co-metabolize PCBs with biphenyl, did not result in substantial change of intermediate concentration.     

Interaction of Formic Acid with the Silica Gel Network

Silica gels can be made by direct reaction of formic acid with tetraethyl orthosilicate. We have characterized wet gels of this type using a beam-bending technique that yields the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, viscoelastic relaxation function, and permeability. When the experiment is performed in ethyl formate, the silica network behaves in an elastic fashion; the permeability is low (<1 nm²), indicating a pore radius of <4.3 nm. The capillary pressure generated in such small pores is estimated to be sufficient to cause collapse of the pores during drying, which would account for the observed ultramicropores in this type of gel. When the pore liquid contains formic acid, viscoelastic relaxation is relatively rapid. Studies of cyclosiloxane compounds indicate that formic acid can attack only the strained siloxane bonds of the network, which would account for the relaxation behavior. Aging in formic acid causes rapid initial shrinkage, because formic acid accelerates condensation of silanols, which drives syneresis; the modulus increases and the permeability decreases monotonically, so there is no indication of coarsening during aging in formic acid, even at 70°C.     

Organic Polymer-Silica Gel Hybrid: A Precursor of Highly Porous Silica Gel

In this article I describe two of our discoveries. The first is the preparation of a transparent solid material composed of an organic polymer and silica gel. A novel material called a “hybrid” has successfully been prepared by the sol-gel reaction of ethyl orthosilicate in the presence of an organic polymer consisting of repeating units having an N-alkylamide group. The molecular-level dispersion of the organic polymer in the framework of silica gel has been established, which is due to the hydrogen-bond interaction between the organic polymer and silanol group of silica gel. The second discovery is the preparation of porous silica gel, which has been achieved by calcination of the organic polymer-silica gel hybrid at 600°C. Pore sizes ranging from 10 to 20 Å have been attained. A method of controlling pore size has been proposed.     

Electroluminescence of Organoaluminum Complexes in the Presence of Silica Gel

It was demonstrated that light-emitting materials can be produced by the photochemical dissolution of aluminum in composites based on a cresol–formaldehyde novolak resin and CBr₄in the presence of triphenylmethane dyes such as aluminon, pyrocatechol violet, and malachite green. The electroluminescence (EL) is due to the formation of organoaluminum complexes. The SnO₂(anode)/novolak resin + pyrocatechol violet/Al (cathode) diodes exhibited the highest EL intensity. Compositions based on aluminon are characterized by weak EL, which increased by a factor of 30 upon the additional introduction of silica gel into the composition. As a result of supporting a PVA film on the diode surface (on the cathode side), the EL increased by a factor of 1.5 and became as high as 10 cd/m². This value is comparable to the EL of pyrocatechol violet–containing diodes. The possible mechanism of the influence of silica gel and the importance of a PVA film for increasing the EL intensity are discussed. In the aluminon-based compositions, the dependence of EL on the diode storage time both with and without an applied voltage was measured.     

The Thermal Stability and Adsorbability of the Mechylated Silica Gel

The methylated silica gel has been produced by the reaction between the surface silanol groups and Clsi(CH3)3 vapor.The adsorption isotherms of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloride onto silica gel and emthylated silica gel heated at various temperatures have been determined at 25℃,and the above mentioned silica gels have been studied by TC and IR.The results indicate:(1) The adsorption of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloried onto methylated silica gel decreased greatly,probably because the concentration of the free hydroxyl groups for methylated silica gel decreased greatly as the IR shows.(2) As the methylated surface was destroyed at 450℃,the adsorption ability was restored when the methylated silica gel treated at>500℃.(3) So long as the methylated silica gel was treated at high temperature,the adsorption ability could be restored owing to that surface free hydroxyl groups were reproduced.     

Sorption of Cobalt on Modified Silica Gel Materials

Various silica gel materials were chemically modified with imidazole, diaza-18-crown-6 (DA18C6) and dibenzod-18-crown-6 (DB18C6). The degree of functionalization of the covalently attached molecule was calculated from C, H, N analysis and ranged between 0.270 and 0.552 mmol/g (for sorbents with imidazole) and between 0.043 and 0.062 mmol/g (for sorbents with DA18C6 and DB18C6). The degree of functionalization depends on the reflux time and silica gel matrix used. Experimental sorption capacity ranged between 0.038 and 0.228 mmol/g (for sorbents with imidazole) and between 0.019 and 0.050 mmol/g (for sorbents with DA18C6 and DB18C6). Synthesized hexagonal mesoporous silica matrix MCM-41 with uniform pore diameter <40 Å was used too. Change of pore diameters of silica gel support to larger pores should have a positive influence on access of cobalt ion to sorption centers to increase of sorption capacity of sorbents. The sorption kinetics of cobalt and the influence of cobalt concentration, pH of various kinds of silica gel matrix with immobilized imidazole group in static conditions on sorption were measured. The sorption of cobalt in various conditions (pH, contact time of phases) with constant liquid-solid ratio (V/m = 50 ml/g) was studied. The distribution coefficients ranged between 200 and 50 000 ml/g (for imidazole), 85 and 120 ml/g (for DB18C6) and between 230 and 500 ml/g (for DA18C6) according to silica gel matrix used and according to the method of sorbent preparation. pH plays important role in the sorption of cobalt on prepared sorbents with immobilized crown ethers due to protonization of crown ethers. Protons significantly competes to sorption of cobalt in acidic solutions. The influence of presence of other heavy or toxic metals (Hg(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Cr(III), Al(III) and the influence of sodium and potassium on sorption Co(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated. Sorption of cobalt decreases in order Hg > Cu > Cd > Zn, Fe > Mn > Al, Cr. The presence of sodium and potassium ions at concentration 0.05 mol/l significantly influences on the sorption of cobalt with sorbent with immobilized DB18C6 functional group.

Synthesis of Monolithic Silica Gel in Alkaline Medium

Formation of Hierarchical Pore Structure in Silica Gel

By inducing a phase separation parallel to the sol-gel transition of alkoxy-derived silicate systems, gels with well-defined macroporous structure can be prepared. Depending on the post-gelation treatment such as aging and solvent exchange, the final pore structure in the nanometer range of dried and heat-treated gels exhibits a considerable variation. With an aim of completely controlling the hierarchical pore structure in the discrete size ranges of nanometers and micrometers, systematic experimental studies have been performed. The macroporous nature of the wet gels allows an efficient solvent exchange process compared with conventional gels only with mesopores. In addition, the surface chemistry of the wet gel skeleton affects the mesopore formation process by the solvent exchange to a great extent. The median size of mesopores larger than 5 nm can be controlled by adjusting the basic solvent exchange conditions such as pH value, temperature and bath ratio for any kind of macroporous silica gel. On the other hand, the control of pore volume independent of the mesopore size is possible only in the system incorporated with the micelle-forming surfactant. Some examples of the effects of controlled mesopores on the analytical performance of monolithic-type chromatographic columns are also presented.     

Space-Selective Precipitation of Au Nanoparticles Inside Silica Gel

Au colloids were prepared by irradiation with a Nd:YAG laser. Au nanoparticles were characterized by absorption spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. It is found that the wavelength of the laser has no effect on the size but the number of the Au nanoparticles. By irradiating a transparent silica gel doped with gold ions with the focused laser in the gel and subsequent exposing in air, a space-selective pattern of letter “P” consisting of Au nanoparticles was observed inside the silica gel.

A broad optical gain spectrumproduced by the biexciton-exciton transitions revealing thestimulated emission from the CdS QDs. It is also observed ared-shift of the PL emission crystal size-dependent.     

Spherical Versus Irregular-Shaped Silica Gel Particles in HPLC

Abstract

With optimised packing procedures, spherical shaped silica gel particles produce 1.5 to 2 times more plates in HPLC than irregular shaped silica gel particles. The lowest reduced plate height obtained by us so far is for 5 μm ROSiL-C₁₈-HL-D and is h: 1.62 for k': 4.5. It is suggested to transform h into 100/h% and to name this the “Chromatographic efficiency”, or a % of the ideal 100% limit. This limit would be an h value equal to the mean particle diameter. Spherical and irregular silica gel particles of 5 and 10 μm particle diameter and with similar physical characteristics have the same permeability in HPLC columns.

Whether a correct column packing procedure is used can be shown by the constancy of plate number and column permeability in function of different packing pressures.

硅胶表面上脂肪酸蒸气吸附膜

应用Gibbs方程由甲酸、乙酸和丙酸蒸气在硅胶上的吸附等温线计算了吸附膜的表面压力(π)与每个吸附分子所占面积(σ)间的关系(π～σ图).所得曲线与不溶物在溶液表面上的结果相似,均表现出有“液态扩张膜”“转变膜”和“液态凝聚膜”.不同的是,不溶物只能形成单分子层膜,而硅胶表面上的脂肪酸吸附膜则是多分子层的.蒸气吸附膜由单层向多层的转变,恰与π～σ图上的“液态扩张膜”向“转变膜”的转变相对应.吸附焓(△H)与吸附熵(△S)的计算结果表明,在此转变附近AH和AS发生急剧变化.
