大庆蜡油催化裂化过程中的质子化裂化反应

在小型固定流化床装置上采用酸性催化剂进行了多系列不同反应深度的催化裂化实验,对大庆VGO催化裂化过程中发生的质子化裂化反应进行了初步的研究。在重质油的催化裂化过程中会出现二次质子化裂化反应。二次质子化裂化反应主要是由于汽油中烷烃重新在酸性催化剂上形成五配位正碳离子随后分解所造成,其产生的原因主要是由于反应后期催化剂对反应中间产物的选择性吸附改变所致。二次质子化裂化反应对温度不敏感。大庆VGO在500℃下反应时二次质子化裂化反应约占整个质子化裂化反应的60%。     

Dynamics of glassy and liquid m-toluidine investigated by high-resolution dielectric spectroscopy

The glass-former m-toluidine displays the characteristic properties of a fragile supercooled liquid, which suggest the existence of a slow secondary relaxation process. In view of the recently realized importance of such a secondary relaxation feature, we have conducted a dielectric search for the secondary process in viscous and glassy m-toluidine. Based on high-resolution experiments on the distilled liquid, a secondary process can be identified which has the properties typical of a Johari-Goldstein beta relaxation. As a result, the previous hypothesis that the methyl group might be responsible for suppressing the secondary dynamics in glassy m-toluidine no longer holds.     

Relaxation dynamics in tert-butylpyridine/tristyrene mixture investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy

We investigated, by means of dielectric spectroscopy, the relaxation dynamics of glass forming binary mixtures composed by the quite rigid polar molecules tert-butylpyridine dissolved in the apolar solvent tristyrene. By changing the relative concentration of the components we observed a transition from a relaxation scenario with a structural process and an excess wing to that with a structural process and a well resolved secondary process. Another relaxation process, slower than the latter, was observed, well below Tg. Our detailed analysis evidenced that the secondary relaxation with shorter relaxation time can be identified as the Johari-Goldstein relaxation for all the mixtures, whereas the new relaxation process was attributed to a different type of motion of tert-butylpyridine needing a larger amount of free volume for the molecular rotation.     

Electron-impact promoted fragmentation of alkyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)-carbamates of primary,secondary and tertiary alcohols

The mass spectra of twenty N-alkyl-(1-phenylethyl)-carbamates derived from primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols have been investigated using deuterium labeling and high resolution mass spectrometry. These derivatives are suitable for the determination of the isotopic purity of primary and secondary, but not of tertiary alcohols. Several of the primary and secondary alcohol derivatives yield an ion formally equivalent to the product ion of a McLafferty rearrangement. Deuterium labeling established, however, that the usual site specificity associated with the McLafferty rearrangement process was lacking in these carbamate derivatives. In addition a double hydrogen rearrangement process was observed in the mass spectra of several of the carbamates derived from tertiary alcohols.     

Effect of stereosequence length on crystallization kinetics of propylene oxide polymers

Crystallization kinetics of crystalline fractions of propylene oxide polymers made with different catalysts have been studied by isothermal dilatometric and microscopical measurements. Isothermal microscopical measurements indicate that spherulite growth in these polymers proceeds from predetermined nuclei. The half time for spherulitic appearance is less than, but of the same order as, the half time for complete crystallization. Only by taking this factor into account can the dilatometric data be represented by the Avrami equation. The deviation of the crystallization isotherm from that predicted from the microscopical data using the Avrami theory is attributed to a secondary crystallization process taking place within the spherulite. Crystallization continues long after spherulites completely occupy the available volume in the polymer. By assuming that the secondary crystallization proceeds as a first-order process in the uncrystallized, but crystallizable, portions of the melt, it is shown that the crystallization isotherms can be completely described in terms of four parameters. These are: (1) the time constant for the primary crystallization process; (2) the time constant for nucleation; (3) the time constant for the secondary crystallization process, and (4) the extent of secondary crystallization. The important conclusions of these studies are: the rates of nucleation and of spherulitic growth are far more dependent on temperature than on stereoregularity; the ratio of the rate of the secondary crystallization process to that of the primary crystallization process is almost independent of temperature, but increases with increasing stereoregularity of the polymer.     

On the Effect of Secondary Nucleation on Deracemization through Temperature Cycles

Herein, the pivotal role of secondary nucleation in a crystallization-enhanced deracemization process is reported. During this process, complete and rapid deracemization of chiral conglomerate crystals of an isoindolinone is attained through fast microwave-assisted temperature cycling. A parametric study of the main factors that affect the occurrence of secondary nucleation in this process, namely agitation rate, suspension density, and solute supersaturation, confirms that an enhanced stereoselective secondary nucleation rate maximizes the deracemization rate. Analysis of the system during a single temperature cycle showed that, although stereoselective particle production during the crystallization stage leads to enantiomeric enrichment, undesired kinetic dissolution of smaller particles of the preferred enantiomer occurs during the dissolution step. Therefore, secondary nucleation is crucial for the enhancement of deracemization through temperature cycles and as such should be considered in further design and optimization of this process, as well as in other temperature cycling processes commonly applied in particle engineering.     

Helical Propensity in an Intrinsically Disordered Protein Accelerates Ligand Binding

Many intrinsically disordered proteins fold upon binding to other macromolecules. The secondary structure present in the well‐ordered complex is often formed transiently in the unbound state. The consequence of such transient structure for the binding process is, however, not clear. The activation domain of the activator for thyroid hormone and retinoid receptors (ACTR) is intrinsically disordered and folds upon binding to the nuclear coactivator binding domain (NCBD) of the CREB binding protein. A number of mutants was designed that selectively perturbs the amount of secondary structure in unbound ACTR without interfering with the intermolecular interactions between ACTR and NCBD. Using NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence‐monitored stopped‐flow kinetic measurements we show that the secondary structure content in helix 1 of ACTR indeed influences the binding kinetics. The results thus support the notion of preformed secondary structure as an important determinant for molecular recognition in intrinsically disordered proteins.

The glass transition and dielectric secondary relaxation of fructose-water mixtures

Broad-band dielectric measurements for fructose-water mixtures with fructose concentrations between 70.0 and 94.6 wt% were carried out in the frequency range of 2 mHz to 20 GHz in the temperature range of -70 to 45 degrees C. Two relaxation processes, the alpha process at lower frequency and the secondary beta process at higher frequency, were observed. The dielectric relaxation time of the alpha process was 100 s at the glass transition temperature, T(g), determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The relaxation time and strength of the beta process changed from weaker temperature dependences of below T(g) to a stronger one above T(g). These changes in behaviors of the beta process in fructose-water mixtures upon crossing the T(g) of the mixtures is the same as that found for the secondary process of water in various other aqueous mixtures with hydrogen-bonding molecular liquids, polymers, and nanoporous systems. These results lead to the conclusion that the primary alpha process of fructose-water mixtures results from the cooperative motion of water and fructose molecules, and the secondary beta process is the Johari-Goldstein process of water in the mixture. At temperatures near and above T(g) where both the alpha and the beta processes were observed and their relaxation times, tau(alpha) and tau(beta), were determined in some mixtures, the ratio tau(alpha)/tau(beta) is in accord with that predicted by the coupling model. Fixing tau(alpha) at 100 s, the ratio tau(alpha)/tau(beta) decreases with decreasing concentration of fructose in the mixtures. This trend is also consistent with that expected by the coupling model from the decrease of the intermolecular coupling parameter upon decreasing fructose concentration.

Use of tunable ligands allows for intermolecular Pd-catalyzed C--O bond formation

Bulky biaryl phosphine ligands facilitate Pd-catalyzed C-O coupling reactions of aryl halides with primary and secondary alcohols by promoting reductive elimination at the expense of beta-hydride elimination. The key to their success is the ability to match the size of the ligand to that of the combination of substrates. The efficient coupling of a number of unactivated aryl chlorides and bromides with cyclic and acyclic secondary alcohols was achieved. This included the coupling of allylic alcohols for the first time in a Pd-catalyzed coupling process.     

Secondary potential in electrodialysis membranes and the effect on permselectivity

The most important factor in the electrodialysis (ED) process is the permselectivity of the ion exchange membranes, which permit not only the separation of cations and anions in a solution, but also the separation of ions with the same sign but different valences. In this work, the mechanism of the permselectivity has been studied through the measurement of the potentials at different planes of the membrane. The experimental results have shown that there was a secondary potential inside ion exchange membranes in an electrodialysis process. At the membrane side touched with dilute solution, this secondary potential enhanced the external electrical field, and thus speeded up the passage of the corresponding ions in the dilute solution through the membranes; at the membrane side touched with concentrated solution, the secondary potential was contrary to the external electrical field and thus counteracted it, which could be very helpful by preventing the ions in the concentrated solution from entering the membranes. Obviously, the existence of the secondary potential might play an important role in the permselectivity of ion exchange membranes in ED processes.

Secondary nucleation and accessible surface in insulin amyloid fibril formation

At low pH insulin is highly prone to self-assembly into amyloid fibrils. The process has been proposed to be affected by the existence of secondary nucleation pathways, in which already formed fibrils are able to catalyze the formation of new fibrils. In this work, we studied the fibrillation process of human insulin in a wide range of protein concentrations. Thioflavin T fluorescence was used for its ability to selectively detect amyloid fibrils, by mechanisms that involve the interaction between the dye and the accessible surface of the fibrils. Our results show that the rate of fibrillation and the Thioflavin T fluorescence intensity saturate at high protein concentration and that, surprisingly, the two parameters are proportional to each other. Because Thioflavin T fluorescence is likely to depend on the accessible surface of the fibrils, we suggest that the overall fibrillation kinetics is mainly governed by the accessible surface, through secondary nucleation mechanisms. Moreover, a statistical study of the fibrillation kinetics suggests that the early stages of the process are affected by stochastic nucleation events.

Dielectric and mechanical relaxation processes in methyl acrylate/tri-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate copolymer networks

The dielectric properties of methylacrylate (MA)/tri-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TrEGDMA) copolymers at different compositions, ranging from 0 to 100, were measured between −120 and 150 °C over the frequency range 0.1 Hz-1 MHz. In the given frequency range, three relaxation processes were detected by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in homo poly-TrEGDMA and copolymers: the α process associated with the glass transition, and two secondary processes due to localized mobility. In PMA only one secondary process was observed besides the alpha relaxation process. The influence of copolymerization going from PMA, monofunctional softer component with a glass transition determined calorimetrically as 284 K, to poly-TrEGDMA, higher glass transition component, bifunctional, that also forms a dense network due to cross linking, reflects mainly in the alpha process that shifts to higher temperatures and becomes broader. The raise and broadening in the glass transition with TrEGDMA increase was also observed by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature of poly-TrEGDMA was not detected calorimetrically but a value of 429 K was estimated from the best fit of the Fox equation. In what concerns the secondary relaxation process detected in poly-TrEGDMA and copolymers at the lowest temperatures, it is related with local twisting motions of ethyleneglycol moieties, being designated as γ relaxation, while the process detected in the medium temperature range is associated with the rotation of the carboxylic groups as in poly(alkyl methacrylates), designated as β relaxation. This process is detected at much lower temperatures in homo PMA in the same temperature region than the above mentioned γ relaxation. The copolymerization influences mainly the α process while the γ process remains almost unaffected in copolymers relative to homo poly-TrEGDMA. The β process is largely determined by the presence o the tri-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomeric units even in copolymers with the lowest TrEGDMA content.     

Integrating protein secondary structure prediction and multiple sequence alignment

Modern protein secondary structure prediction methods are based on exploiting evolutionary information contained in multiple sequence alignments. Critical steps in the secondary structure prediction process are (i) the selection of a set of sequences that are homologous to a given query sequence, (ii) the choice of the multiple sequence alignment method, and (iii) the choice of the secondary structure prediction method. Because of the close relationship between these three steps and their critical influence on the prediction results, secondary structure prediction has received increased attention from the bioinformatics community over the last few years. In this treatise, we discuss recent developments in computational methods for protein secondary structure prediction and multiple sequence alignment, focus on the integration of these methods, and provide some recommendations for state-of-the-art secondary structure prediction in practice.
