Flow injection spectrophotometric determination of formaldehyde based on its condensation with hydroxylamine and subsequent redox reaction with iron(III)-ferrozine complex

A flow injection (FI) spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of low concentration of formaldehyde (HCHO) in liquid media. It is based on the condensation of HCHO with hydroxylamine sulfate, followed by the reduction reaction of iron(III)-ferrozine complex with the residual hydroxylamine to form a purple iron(II)-ferrozine complex (λ_max = 562 nm). In the first reaction, hydroxylamine decreases proportionally to the concentration of HCHO, and therefore the produced purple iron(II)-ferrozine complex decreases with increasing HCHO (a negative FI peak is obtained). The detection limit (S/N = 3) was 1.6 μg L⁻¹. The method can be applied to the determination of HCHO in industrial wastewater.     

催化氧化处理工业废气中高浓度甲醛

制备了用于温和条件下催化氧化去除工业废气中高浓度甲醛(HCHO)的1%Pt-4%CeO₂/AC催化剂. 将高浓度甲醛的催化氧化过程与双甘膦氧化制备草甘膦的反应过程集成在一起,使草甘膦合成过程中产生和排放出来的甲醛(100-300 mg/m³)在通过催化剂床层时被完全除去. 系统研究了温度、空速和甲醛含量对甲醛去除率的影响. 在气体空速(GHSV)低于20000 h^-1时废气中几乎所有的甲醛都被氧化,处理后的废气中的甲醛含量低于0.1 mg/m³,甲醛的转化率为99.1%-100%. 当GHSV为30000- h^-1,催化剂床层温度为12℃时,生产废气通过催化剂床层后的甲醛含量小于1.5 mg/m³,甲醛的转化率为97.56%-99.99%. 1%Pt-4%CeO₂/AC催化剂的中试试验结果表明,处理后最终尾气中甲醛含量小于10 mg/m³,有效地防止了甲醛对人们健康的危害,具有良好的产业化前景.     

甲醛还原Pt/TiO2催化剂用于温和条件下高效催化氧化甲醛

通过浸渍法(IM)和沉积-沉淀(DP)法制备了一系列Pt/TiO2(P25)催化剂,并分别用甲醛溶液和氢气还原处理催化剂.利用原位红外监测催化剂表面吸附物种在反应过程中的变化,探究了催化剂制备和还原条件及Pt负载量对催化剂结构和催化氧化甲醛活性的影响.结果显示,用DP法制备并用甲醛还原的Pt/P25催化剂中Pt颗粒分散均匀,并具有合适的粒径和高浓度的表面活性氧,显示出良好的甲醛氧化活性.在空速30000 ml/(g·h)、反应温度30°C和甲醛初始浓度50 mg/m3的条件下,0.4%Pt/P25(DP-HCHO)上的甲醛转化率达到98%,并能稳定运行100 h以上.相比之下, Pt/P25(DP-H2)由于表面活性氧较少,不利于甲酸盐氧化,活性较低. Pt/P25(IM-H2)虽然具有高浓度的表面活性氧,却同时具有最大的Pt颗粒粒径,在甲醛转化为甲酸盐和甲酸盐氧化两步反应中的活性均较差,因而甲醛氧化活性最差.     

Development of an automated measurement system using a diffusion scrubber and high-performance liquid chromatography for the monitoring of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in automotive exhaust gas.

An automated measurement system for monitoring formaldehyde (HCHO) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) in automotive exhaust gas by using a diffusion scrubber in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. HCHO and CH3CHO are effectively collected by the diffusion scrubber, which consists of a hydrophobic porous PTFE tube disposed concentrically within a Pyrex-glass tube and a scrubbing solution. 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine is used as the scrubbing solution for trapping HCHO and CH3CHO, which are derivatized to formaldehyde 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPH-HCHO) and acetaldehyde 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPH-CH3CHO), respectively, with phosphoric acid as an acid catalyst. After the collection of the gas sample, the sample solution in the diffusion scrubber is injected into the HPLC system and DNPH-HCHO and DNPH-CH3CHO are separated and determined. All measurement operations are sequenced by a programmable controller and an automated continuous measurement can be performed at 10 min intervals. The collection efficiencies of HCHO and CH3CHO were higher than 97% at a gas flow rate of 0.21 min-1. The detection limit (3 sigma of the blank value) was 0.001 ppm v/v for HCHO and CH3CHO for a 1.61 gas sample volume. No interference of co-existing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the collection of HCHO and CH3CHO was observed. The average concentration of HCHO in the exhaust gas from methanol-fueled vehicles was 77.3 ppm v/v (n = 5) in the cold-phase mode when engines were first started. In the hot-phase mode, the average concentration of HCHO was 3.3 ppm v/v (n = 15). The concentrations of HCHO measured by this automated measurement system were in good agreement with those obtained using the impinger-HPLC method.     

Molecular level understanding of the role of aldehyde in vegetable‐aldehyde–collagen cross‐linking reaction

The role of formaldehyde (HCHO) in vegetable‐aldehyde–collagen cross‐linking reaction was investigated at the B3LYP/6‐31+G(d) level, where lysine (LYS) was used as model of collagen and catechin (EC) as model of condensed vegetable tannin. Atomic charge and Frontier molecular orbital analysis show that intermediates formed by HCHO reacting with LYS or EC, that is, M_LYS, M_EC‐6, and M_EC‐8, still have both nucleophilic and electrophilic sites, which are elements to form ternary cross‐linking in vegetable‐aldehyde–collagen system. The analysis of energy gap between HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbit) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbit) indicate that the intermediate of HCHO–LYS residues (M_LYS) can further react with free HCHO to form product P‐N(CH₂OH)₂ (P‐N‐represents amino acid residue; N represents nitrogen atom on side chain), but the reaction of intermediate M_LYS with free EC is difficult to take place. So, the probability of forming ternary cross‐linking structure of amino acid residue–HCHO–EC is small, if HCHO is added before vegetable tannin in vegetable‐aldehyde–collagen system. However, the reactions of EC–HCHO intermediates (M_EC‐6 and M_EC‐8) with free amino acids, HCHO–amino acid residue intermediate (M_LYS), as well as with other EC–HCHO intermediates (M_EC‐6 and M_EC‐8), are very easy to take place. The reaction enthalpy also shows that the cross‐linking tendency is favorable in thermodynamics. So, it can be deduced that covalent cross‐linking among amino side chain of collagen and vegetable tannin may take place when aldehyde is added after vegetable tannin. In this way, a multiple point cross‐linking reaction occurs to create a high stabilization of collagen. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

湿式催化氧化处理含高浓度甲醛的草甘膦废水

草甘膦结晶母液经蒸发或纳滤浓缩回收后,产生大量含有高浓度甲醛的废水,常规的废水处理方法难以达到回用或排放要求.以过量溶液浸渍法制备的Pt-Bi-CeO2/AC为催化剂,采用湿式催化氧化法处理2.5%的HCHO溶液,HCHO去除率高达99.9%以上,COD去除率达到96.6%.采用Pt-Bi-CeO2/AC催化剂对含低浓度草甘膦(PMG,50 mg/L)的生产废水直接进行湿式催化氧化处理,催化剂使用23次后,HCHO去除率稳定在85%左右,COD去除率稳定在87%左右,催化剂具有良好的稳定性.湿式催化氧化处理后的废水可直接回用于PMG生产.采用固定床湿式催化氧化装置处理HCHO溶液以及PMG生产废水,处理效果也非常理想,连续使用720 h,催化剂的稳定性能良好.通过XRD、N2吸附-脱附、HRTEM、ICP-OES和XPS等分析手段对催化剂进行了系统表征.     

Analysis of formose sugar and formaldehyde by high-performance liquid chromatography

Formose sugar and formaldehyde (HCHO) were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) utilizing a CarboPac PA1 column (Dionex) and pulsed amperometric detection. This HPLC system was unsuitable for the analysis of formose sugar and HCHO and thus reducing sugars and unconverted HCHO were determined by endowing them with charges through a derivatization method using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The separation and detection of compounds were performed by three Chromolith RP-C18 columns (Merck) and diode array detection, at a wavelength of 360 nm ultraviolet light, respectively. Lower sugars (except HCHO) showed some instabilities when the derivatized samples were kept for the extended periods of time. For C₅ and consecutive higher sugars, a certain derivatization time was necessary. In the present case (formose reaction with partial HCHO conversion), approximately 18 h may be a reasonable compromise for the derivatization reaction. A derivatization agent to compound mole ratio of up to 100:1 was required to complete the derivatization of C₄ and higher sugars. However, the analysis of C₄ and consecutive higher sugars is problematic for example due to overlapping of peaks or branched-chain sugars.     

In situ growth of MnO2 on pDA-templated cotton fabric for degradation of formaldehyde

Degradation of formaldehyde (HCHO) in interior decoration has been an urgent issue due to its toxicity nature and potential threats to human health. In this work, manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO₂ NPs) were in situ grown on the polydopamine (pDA)-templated cotton fabrics for environmentally friendly HCHO degradation applications. The morphology, elemental composition, and crystal structure of the cotton/pDA/MnO₂ were characterized by scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectrum, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffractometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The degradation of HCHO by the as-developed cotton/pDA/MnO₂ was measured in a self-made quartz reactor, and the stability of adsorption was evaluated by cyclic experiments. The results showed that the HCHO removal efficiency reached to 100% within 20 min after three cycles, suggesting that the as-prepared fabrics exhibited good stability for the degradation of HCHO. The development of MnO₂ NPs coated fabrics provides new strategies in degradation HCHO in interior decoration.

     

Synthesis of 1,4-Bis(chloromethyl) Benzene with Different Alkoxy-Substituents

l,4-Bis(chloromethyl) benzene (BCMB) and its derivatives are very important intermediates of much synthetic reaction. Especially, they can be used to synthesize poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and its alkoxy derivatives, which have aroused significant interest in recent years^[l,2]. So people pays close attention to the synthesis of BCMB derivatives. There are several methods to synthesize BCMB derivatives, such as applying HCHO or (HCHO)n with concentrated hydrochloric acid or anhydrous HCl in the presence of zinc chloride, adopting (HCHO)n with hydrochloric acid in acetic acid aqueous, or utilizing HCHO reacts with hydrochloric acid and bubbles anhydrous HCl which was so called Wood method^[3].The methods mentioned above usually affored low yield of BCMB substituted by long alkoxy group, while the synthesis of BCMB with long alkoxy-substituents are the essential for the synthesis of soluble PPV derivatives^[4,5].     

Performance of a 2,4-DNPH coated annular denuder/HPLC system for formaldehyde monitoring in air

Summary The performance of annular denuders coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine for collection of atmospheric HCHO has been evaluated by HPLC/UV analysis of samples coming from laboratory tests and field experiments. A number of parameters, such as collection efficiency at varying air humidity, detection limit, operative capacity and temporal self-consistency have been investigated to optimize the denuder behaviour under different weather conditions and to obtain short-term concentration profiles of HCHO. Deviations between measurements made simultaneously by the DNPH denuder method and differential optical absorption spectrometry (DOAS) have been found to average approximately 30% in the 0–5 ppb HCHO concentration range.     

A novel photosynthetic mimic reaction catalysed by K[Ru(H-EDTA)Cl] · 2H2O; reduction of carbon dioxide to formate and formaldehyde in the presence of an aqueous suspension of Pt—CdS—RuO2

An efficient photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to HCOOH and HCHO is reported using K[Ru(H-EDTA)Cl] · 2H₂O (1) as homogeneous catalyst and particulate Pt—CdS—RuO₂ as photon absorber at 505 nm. This system produces 0.22 M of HCOOH and 0.10 M of HCHO in 6 h of photolysis at rates of 3.05 × 10⁻² M h⁻¹ and 2.0 × 10⁻² M h⁻¹ respectively. Trace amounts of CH₃OH, CH₄ and CO are detected in the reaction vessel. The rates of formation of HCOOH and HCHO exhibit a first-order dependence on the catalyst and dissolved CO₂ concentrations. The reaction shows deuterium isotope effects (k_H/k_D) of 1.5 and 2.00 for the formation of HCOOH and HCHO respectively. Under identical experimental conditions, the rate of decomposition of formate was studied. The rate of decomposition of formate is slower (by two orders of magnitude compared with the formation of formate) even at high formate concentrations. A mechanism for the formation of HCOOH and HCHO is proposed.     

Thermodynamics of the formaldehyde-water and formaldehyde-ice systems for atmospheric applications

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a species involved in numerous key atmospheric chemistry processes that can significantly impact the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Since gaseous HCHO is soluble in water, the water droplets of clouds and the ice crystals of snow exchange HCHO with the gas phase and the partitioning of HCHO between the air, water, and ice phases must be known to understand its chemistry. This study proposes thermodynamic formulations for the partitioning of HCHO between the gas phase and the ice and liquid water phases. A reanalysis of existing data on the vapor-liquid equilibrium has shown the inadequacy of the Henry's law formulation, and we instead propose the following equation to predict the mole fraction of HCHO in liquid water at equilibrium, X(HCHO,liq), as a function of the partial pressure P(HCHO) (Pa) and temperature T (K): X(HCHO,liq) = 1.700 × 10(-15)?e((8014/T))(P(HCHO))(1.105). Given the paucity of data on the gas-ice equilibrium, the solubility of HCHO and the diffusion coefficient (D(HCHO)) in ice were measured by exposing large single ice crystals to low P(HCHO). Our recommended value for D(HCHO) over the temperature range 243-266 K is D(HCHO) = 6 × 10(-12) cm(2) s(-1). The solubility of HCHO in ice follows the relationship X(HCHO,ice) = 9.898 × 10(-13)?e((4072/T))(P(HCHO))(0.803). Extrapolation of these data yields the P(HCHO) versus 1/T phase diagram for the H(2)O-HCHO system. The comparison of our results to existing data on the partitioning of HCHO between the snow and the atmosphere in the high arctic highlights the interplay between thermodynamic equilibrium and kinetics processes in natural systems.     

Anion conducting multiblock copolymers with different tethered cations

A multiblock copoly(arylene ether) polymer was used to quantitatively compare the ion conducting channels formed by three different, tethered cation head‐groups. The synthesis allowed for the formation of an exact number of tethers on each repeat unit. Three head‐groups, quaternary trimethylammonium (TMA), quinuclidium (ABCO), and tris(2,4,6‐trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium (TTMPP) cation head‐groups were compared in terms of size of the conducting channels, ionic conductivity of the mobile hydroxide ion, mechanical properties, quantity of productive and unproductive water, and chemical stability of the membrane in base. The interdomain spacing showed that multiblock copolymers with larger cations formed larger ion conduction channels in the membrane. Larger cations resulted lower ion exchange capacity (IEC) even though the polymer backbone and tether arrangements were identical. TMA was the most stable cation after exposure to 1 M NaOH at 60 °C for 20 days. ABCO had a lower number of bound water molecules and a 22% loss in ion conductivity after treatment in 1 M NaOH at 60 °C for 20 days due to the higher hydroxide ion concentration in the ion conductive blocks. Membranes with TMA head‐groups also had the best mechanical properties. Two membrane preparation methods were compared. The presence of the cation head‐groups assists in phase segregation. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2018 , 56, 1395–1403     

Determination of formaldehyde by staircase voltammetry based on its electrocatalytic oxidation at a nickel electrode

In this paper, a novel method for detection of formaldehyde (HCHO), based on its electrocatalytic oxidation of HCHO at a nickel electrode, is reported. The mechanism of electrocatalytic oxidation and quantification of HCHO have been investigated by cyclic and staircase voltammetry, respectively. The electrocatalytic oxidation peak potential of HCHO is at about 475 mV vs. Ag/AgCl electrode; the peak current responds proportionally to concentrations of HCHO in alkaline solution. The linear range of detection is from 46.8 to 1640 μg/L (1.56 × 10⁻⁶ to 5.46 × 10⁻⁵ M) with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 and a detection limit of 23.4 μg/L (7.80 × 10⁻⁷ M). The relative standard deviation (RSD) is less than 6% (n = 5), and the recovery is in the range 98–106% for real samples. The result is consistent with that from the spectrophotometry. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Formation and Catalytic Functionality of Synthetic Polymer-Noble Metal Colloid

Colloidal dispersions of noble metals in synthetic polymers are prepared by reduction with alcohol. Reflux of a solution of rhodium(III) chloride and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in a methanol-water mixed solvent under argon or air for 4 hr gives a homogeneous solution of colloidal dispersion of rhodium (Rh-PVA-MeOH/H₂O). The particle size of metallic rhodium is distributed n a narrow range of 30-70 Å, and the average diameter is 40 A. The formation of colloidal rhodium proceeds through three steps: coordination of poly(vinyl alcohol) to rhodium(III) ion, reduction with methanol to form small particles (8 Å in diameter), and growth of the small particle to large particle (40 Å in diameter). Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) can be used in place of poly(vinyl alcohol) and result in colloidal dispersions, respectively, similar to Rh-PVA-MeOH/H₂O. Colloidal dispersions in nonaqueous solvent can be prepared by using ethanol instead of methanol-water (Rh-PVP-EtOH) and by using methanol instead of methanol-water, with addition of small amount of methanol solution of sodium hydroxide (Rh-PVP-MeOH/NaOH). The average diameters of rhodium particles in Rh-PVP-EtOH and Rh-PVP-MeOH/NaOH are 22 and 9 Å, respectively. The colloidal dispersions of palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold in aqueous or nonaqueous solvent are prepared by using polyvinylpyrrolidone. The colloidal dispersions are very stable even under air for 20 days. Those of rhodium, palladium, and platinum are effective catalysts for hydrogenation of olefins at 30°C under an atmospheric hydrogen pressure. The colloidal dispersion of palladium catalyzes highly selective hydrogenation of diene and dienoate to monoene and monoenoate, respectively.     

分等级结构对锡氧化物负载Pt室温催化甲醛氧化性能的影响

甲醛是主要的室内空气污染物,气相中甲醛去除技术具有重要意义.常用的甲醛去除技术主要包括物理和化学吸附、光催化分解和热催化氧化,其中能在常温下进行的催化氧化最具发展和实用前景.能在室温下高效催化甲醛完全氧化的催化剂一般为负载型贵金属,如铂(Pt)、钯、金、银等.除了选择具有内在高活性的组分,通过提高贵金属分散度,增强贵金属-载体相互作用,增加载体的甲醛亲和性等方法也可提高甲醛催化分解活性.以上方法主要关注催化剂化学性质的改良;另一方面,催化剂的微观几何结构以及传质快慢对表观催化反应速率也有重要影响.近年来研究表明,分等级结构利于反应物在材料孔隙中的扩散输移,可大幅提高催化活性.因此,我们制备了具有分等级结构的花状锡氧化物(SnOx)负载的Pt纳米颗粒,并研究其室温下催化分解甲醛的性能.花状SnOx以氟化亚锡和尿素为原料,通过水热法制备;Pt通过浸渍、硼氢化钠还原法负载,制备Pt/SnOx催化剂.另外,对SnOx进行球磨处理破坏其分等级结构,制备g-SnOx及Pt/g-SnOx作为对照.通过场发射扫描电镜观察,制备的锡氧化物为具有分等级结构的花状微球,直径约1?m,由厚度约20 nm的花瓣状纳米片交错连接而成.X射线衍射(XRD)谱图对应四方相氧化亚锡(SnO,JCPDS 06-0395),但也观察到四方金红石相氧化锡(SnO2,JCPDS 41-1445)的微弱特征峰.高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)仅观察到四方相SnO的晶格条纹.根据X射线光电子能谱(XPS)结果,在花状锡氧化物的表面,锡元素的氧化态为正四价.综合以上表征结果表明:制备的锡氧化物主体为SnO,由于表面被空气氧化,含有少量SnO2.通过透射电镜观察Pt/SnOx催化剂发现,直径2–3 nm的Pt纳米颗粒高度分散负载于SnOx纳米片表面;XPS结果表明,纳米颗粒中Pt的价态为0价,与HRTEM观测结果一致.甲醛分解测试采用静态测试系统,在体积为6 L的测试箱中加入一定浓度甲醛后开始反应,监测甲醛、二氧化碳(CO2)和一氧化碳(CO)浓度随时间的变化.结果表明,花状SnOx在室温下不具有催化甲醛氧化活性,仅能通过吸附作用去除少量甲醛;而负载0价金属态Pt纳米颗粒后,甲醛快速分解为CO2和水,且无CO生成.在初始浓度170 ppm条件下,反应1 h后,甲醛去除率达到87%.Pt/SnOx催化剂的高活性表明,金属态Pt是催化甲醛氧化的活性组分.经球磨处理后制备的Pt/g-SnOx,其催化活性远低于具有分等级结构的Pt/SnOx;后者的二级反应速率常数为前者的5.6倍,证明分等级结构能有效加速甲醛催化氧化分解.本研究结果对于高效分解室内甲醛材料的设计、制备提供了一种指导性的新思路.     

膜催化研究 I: 在钯/陶瓷复合膜反应器中催化甲醇直接脱氢制甲醛

本文用化学镀方法制备了对氢具有高选择性和高透过率的钯/陶瓷复合膜, 并将此复合膜装于特制的膜反应器中, 考察了该反应器对甲醇催化脱氢制甲醛反应的促进作用。作为对比, 在常规反应器中也进行了上述反应。发现在623～773K温度范围内, 甲醇的转化率和甲醛的产率均有很大的提高。在低原料空速下(反应进程为热力学平均控制), 产物甲醛的产率可提高20%以上; 在中等原料空速下(反应进程为动力学控制), 甲醛的产率可提高10～15%。     

室温MnO_x上O_3氧化脱除空气中甲醛

采用氧化还原法制备了MnOx催化剂,X射线衍射结果表明其主要为无定形结构.在甲醛和臭氧浓度分别为137和642mg/m3,相对湿度为56%(25oC),GHSV为2×105h-1条件下,MnOx催化剂上O3可将甲醛全部氧化为CO2,反应150min内甲醛转化率和CO2选择性一直保持在～100%.另外,当臭氧与甲醛的摩尔比约为2:3,即显著低于化学计量比时,CO2选择性仍可达～100%.采用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪在线分析了甲醛氧化反应产物,未检测到任何副产物,从而确认了MnOx催化剂上O3对甲醛的完全氧化.     

臭氧催化氧化脱除低浓度甲醛的新方法

甲醛作为一种典型的室内挥发性有机污染物,对人体健康危害很大.目前,在可用于室内甲醛脱除的诸多方法之中,臭氧催化氧化法因可于室温下使用廉价的金属氧化物催化剂实现对甲醛的高效脱除,从而受到了科研工作者的广泛关注.然而,考虑到室内甲醛的浓度极低,且存在着长期缓慢释放的特点,传统的臭氧催化氧化法应用于实际的室内甲醛脱除不仅会造成能量的浪费,而且还易因未完全分解臭氧的连续释放带来二次污染问题.为了提高臭氧催化氧化脱除甲醛过程的臭氧利用率,降低能耗,并有效缓解未分解臭氧引起的二次污染,本文将一种循环的甲醛存储-臭氧催化氧化新方法应用于室内低浓度甲醛的脱除.该新方法包含甲醛存储与臭氧催化氧化两个过程,在存储阶段低浓度甲醛吸附存储于催化剂表面,而在臭氧催化氧化阶段臭氧将存储的甲醛氧化为CO2与H2O,并重新释放催化剂表面的吸附位.因负载型氧化锰具有优良的臭氧分解能力,本研究以Al2O3负载的MnOx为催化剂,通过研究前驱体及担载量对甲醛脱除反应的影响,筛选出了最优的MnOx/Al2O3催化剂,并对相对湿度的影响规律进行了考察,最后通过低浓度甲醛存储-臭氧催化氧化循环实验验证了该甲醛臭氧催化氧化新过程的可靠性.我们采用传统的等体积浸渍法,基于不同的前驱体制备MnOx/Al2O3催化剂.XRD表征结果表明,乙酸锰为前驱体制得的MA/Al2O3催化剂中MnOx相主要为Mn3O4(粒径约为6.0 nm);而硝酸锰前驱体所得MN/Al2O3催化剂中则含有MnO2与Mn2O3相,且其MnOx颗粒粒径较大,约为9.5 nm.XPS测试结果表明,MA/Al2O3催化剂含有Mn2+,Mn3+及Mn4+,其中Mn3+与Mn4+的含量分别为75%与12%;而MN/Al2O3催化剂则仅含有Mn3+与Mn4+,含量分别为35%与65%.上述XRD与XPS结果相一致,说明以乙酸锰为前驱体所得催化剂的分散度较高且易形成低氧化态的Mn.甲醛存储-臭氧催化氧化实验结果表明,与Al2O3及MN/Al2O3相比,MA/Al2O3催化剂具有更高的甲醛存储与催化氧化脱除性能.基于MA/Al2O3催化剂,不同Mn负载量下的甲醛存储与臭氧催化氧化实验结果表明,Mn负载量为10 wt%时MA/Al2O3的性能最佳.因而,进一步的实验中我们均选用最优的10 wt%MA/Al2O3为催化剂,其在50%相对湿度下的甲醛存储量为26.9μmol/mL,臭氧催化氧化阶段碳平衡为92%,CO2选择性为100%.相对湿度的影响结果(23℃)则表明,由于水分子与甲醛分子间存在着竞争吸附作用,甲醛存储容量随相对湿度的增加而降低;但因相对湿度增加可建立利于甲醛氧化的新途径,故臭氧催化氧化性能随相对湿度增加而增强.综合考虑,10 wt%MA/Al2O3上甲醛存储-臭氧催化氧化的最优相对湿度为50%.为验证所提出新方法的实用性,我们基于10 wt%MA/Al2O3开展了甲醛存储-臭氧催化氧化的4次循环实验.4次循环实验中的甲醛存储以及臭氧催化氧化处理的规律可基本保持一致.50%相对湿度下,低浓度甲醛(15×10-6)在空速为27000 h-1时的穿透时间为110 min,而在臭氧催化氧化阶段(150×10-6臭氧,空速15000 h-1)仅需约50 min即可实现对存储甲醛的氧化脱除(碳平衡大于92%,CO2选择性100%),表明该新方法较传统的臭氧催化氧化方法臭氧用量可节省60%.     

Improving continuous chemiluminescence determination method of formaldehyde in the atmosphere: reducing interference of acetaldehyde and others by using iodoform reaction

ABSTRACT

The continuous and selective determination method of formaldehyde (HCHO) in ambient air using chemiluminescence method has been developed. The counter current flow tube was used to collect gaseous formaldehyde. The major interferences of HCHO determination from acetaldehyde, ethanol, and ferrous ion were removed by applying iodoform reaction. Effect of acetaldehyde on chemiluminescence signal of formaldehyde at the same concentration was reduced from 19 to 0.3% by applying iodoform reaction. Subsequently, HCHO was online detected by measuring chemiluminescence produced from the reaction of HCHO, gallic acid, H₂O_2, and KOH. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 4.5 ppbv in air. The calibration graph was linear up to 6.25 ppmv. HCHO concentration measured by the present method showed good agreement with that obtained by the 2–4 DNPH-HPLC method.
