Competitive Sorption of Copper and Nickel Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Peat

Bicomponent aqueous solutions of copper and nickel ions have been used to investigate the sorption of metal ions onto peat. Peat, a low cost sorbent, has shown a high capacity for the sorption of single component metal ions attributed to extensive carboxylic acids within its structure. Copper and nickel ions were selected as typical metals in the effluents of electroplating industries. The effects of competitive sorption in batch systems were studied at various metal ion concentrations. In this study the Butler and Ockrent model was modified using a coefficient, . Two models were developed based on the interaction coefficient . The first model incorporates a constant fixed factor for each metal ion into the Butler-Ockrent equation. The second model incorporates a variable factor into the Butler-Ockrent equation; this interaction factor varies as a function of sorbent surface coverage. Predicted equilibrium data are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental values using both modified models for various mole ratios of copper and nickel ions in competitive sorption.

Thermogravimetric Evidence of Nickel or Copper Isomorphously Substituted into a Zeolite

The synthesis of pure silica ZSM-5 has been modified to produce highly crystalline material in the protonated form, necessary for catalytic activity, directly from a low water fluoride gel. Tetrahedrally co-ordinated divalent species of nickel and copper have been synthesised as salts of large organic cations and increasing mole fractions incorporated into the zeolite gels. The products have been analysed and characterised using simultaneous thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG). The thermal decomposition under nitrogen of the metal associated cations, tetraethylammonium (TEA⁺), occluded within the zeolite channels is indicative and characteristic of the incorporation of heteroatoms into the zeolite framework. Anomalous losses in the systems can be explained by Jahn–Teller distortions. The mass losses increased with increased metal loading and were consistent with those reported in full water system, analysis also confirmed that the material was hydrophobic and thermally stable. Analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) has confirmed the reliability of TG-DTG as a diagnostic tool. The maximum levels of substitution achieved were (mass%) Ni 3.93 and Cu 4.38. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

担载铜镍催化剂氢溢流现象的TPR研究

本文采用TPR(Temperature Programmed Reduction)作为主要表征手段,对担载铜、镍催化剂循环还原-氧化(RedoX过程)处理前后的样品进行了表征.其次也进行了TPR测试后所得金属铜(镍)催化剂催化还原其前体氧化物(auto-catalysed reduction)的研究.发现这两种研究方式所得种种有趣结果都可归属于氢溢流现象.RedoX处理后,其TPR谱上金属氧化物的还原峰向低温区位移,并伴有总耗氢量的增加.其中峰位移可归属于Redox过程未被氧化完全的还原态金属(特别是铜)离解氢分子,形成的氢原子溢向邻近的金属氧化物(如CuO),使其在较低温度下还原;而耗氢量的增加则可归属氢原子向载体(SiO_2或Al_2O_3)的溢流,载体被活化使总耗氢量增加.上述现象可认为是同一颗粒间的氢溢流.在自催化还原过程中出现的氢溢流现象(低温区出现新还原峰和总耗氢量增加)可认为是催化剂不同颗粒间的氢溢流.总之TPR可以作为研究同一颗粒和不同颗粒间发生氢溢流行之有效的方法.

Preparation and Characterization of Nanocomposites of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals

Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were extracted from Kraft pulp of Eucalyptus urograndis. The CNC were isolated by acid hydrolysis with H₂SO₄ 64% (w/w) solution, for 20 minutes at 45 °C. The morphology and crystallinity of the CNC were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The AFM image supports the evidence for the development of crystals of cellulose in nanometric scale. These nanoparticles were used as reinforcement material in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) matrix. Nanocomposites films were prepared by casting. The nanocomposites were characterized by thermal (TGA) and mechanical (DMA) analyses. A large reinforcing effect of the filler was observed. The tensile strength of nanocomposites was significantly improved by 107%, the elongation at break decreased by 48% and the thermal resistance increased slightly. The improvements in thermo-mechanical properties suggest a close association between filler and matrix.

Preparation and Characterization of Novel Quaternized Cellulose Nanoparticles as Protein Carriers

Quaternized cellulose (QC) nanoparticles were prepared in distilled water by ionic crosslinking of QC with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) for the first time. BSA as a model protein drug was used to investigate the loading and release features of the nanoparticles. The results indicated that QC nanoparticles had high loading efficiency and capacity for BSA. The in vitro BSA release of the QC nanoparticles displayed a burst effect in the first 2 h and then a slow continuous release. Nanoparticles with a higher DS of QC showed a decrease in particle size, an increase in zeta potential, a higher loading efficiency and a slower drug‐release profile. These studies demonstrated that QC nanoparticles are potential protein carriers, and that their physicochemical properties and release profile could be easily adjusted.

     

Determination of Nickel,Manganese, Copper and Zinc in Blood Serum by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry after Deproteinization by Microwave Irradiation

ABSTRACT

Deproteinization of serum was performed by microwave irradiation combined with a small volume of diluted trichloracetic acid. The procedure reduced the protein level of the samples to less than 99% of the total with a small dilution factor (1+1) and allowed the determination of nickel and manganese by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry and copper and zinc by flame atomic absorption spectrometry directly without modifiers or matrix interferences. As metallic ions are normally bonded to serum proteins they must be released during protein precipitation. Spiked serum samples were submitted, before the deproteinization, to an incubation treatment to bond the added ions to the proteins. To check the efficiency of the incubation time for each ion, serum samples were ultrafiltered at set time intervals and the metals determined in the ultrafiltrate. The proposed method was compared with the common deproteinization by acids for the separation of the proteins. The reduction of proteins allowed a small dilution of the sample and the use of faster temperature programmes for the determination of nickel and manganese by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry and the aspiration of samples more similar to aqueous standards for copper and zinc determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Recoveries from spiked, incubated and deproteinized samples compared to only diluted samples show that the method can satisfactorily be used for atomic absorption spectrometric determination of these elements.     

Neutral Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Tetraazamacrocyclic Complexes as Molecular Rods Attached to Gold Electrodes

New dithiolated derivatives of neutral Cu^II and Ni^II tetraazamacrocyclic complexes have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and diffractional methods. These rod‐shaped molecules were assembled in monocomponent and mixed monolayers on gold electrodes. In the mixed monolayers, the active molecules were embedded in a hexanethiol matrix. The dithiolated complexes are oriented perpendicularly to the electrode, and reveal faster kinetics of electron transfer than those assembled in a single‐component monolayer. They appear as protrusions, which are easily addressed by using the STM method. In the presence of a suitable electron acceptor in the solution, the donor properties of the anchored Cu complex were weakened, which revealed donor–acceptor interactions with the monolayer. The peak position in the voltammogram indicates a stronger interaction of the solution‐based acceptor with the reduced Cu^II form than with the Cu^III complex. This suggests the possibility of switching the association on or off by applying an appropriate potential.     

New Copper,Palladium and Nickel Catalytic Systems: An Evolution towards More Efficient Procedures

Metal‐catalysed reactions are a fundamental tool in synthetic chemistry. Increasingly challenging transformations can be accomplished only by means of certain metal catalysts. However, there still remains the need for a substantial decrease of the amount of catalyst, for better reuse or recycling of such active species, and for the avoidance of relatively toxic solvents in favour of environmentally friendly media. These facts apply to copper‐, palladium‐, and nickel‐catalysed cross‐coupling reactions, direct arylations, and oxidative processes. This account summarises our research on the last reactions, featuring an evolution towards more sustainable procedures in this field.

Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Spherical Cellulose Adsorbent for Reduction Adsorption of Trichloroacetic Acid

A novel spherical cellulose adsorbent has been prepared by homogeneous graft polymerization of N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide （MBA） onto cellulose in an ionic liquid, 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （BMIMC1）, which was then partially amine methylated through Mannich reaction to get bifunctionalized materials containing both amide and sulphinate moities. Factors affecting the attachment of functional groups were investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by Elemental Analysis （EA）, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy （FTIR） and Scanning Electron Microscope （SEM）. Cellulose adsorbent was then tested for its potential applications in the reduction adsorption oftrichloroacetic acid （TCAA） from aqueous solutions.
