Thin Layer Chromatographic Study of Bauxite and Quantitative Estimation of Co-Existing Al3+, Fe2+ and Ti4

 Thin layer chromatography in combination with spectrophotometry and titrimetry has been used to evaluate chromatographic characteristics of bauxite constituents. The retention behaviors of four major constituents (Al3+, Fe2+, Ti4+, Si4+) in bauxite mineral have been examined on plain and modified layers of silica gel G, silica gel H and cellulose with mobile phases containing aqueous sodium chloride, formic acid and hydrochloric acid. Ternary separation of Al-Fe-Ti was achieved on chromatographic plates made of silica gel H. The pH effect and presence of impurity elements in samples, nature of stationary phases on the ternary separation and detection limits of bauxite constituents were studied. Silicon in bauxite was detected on cellulose plates. Quantitative determinations of Al3+, Fe2+ and Ti4+ on silica gel H impregnated with sodium formate layers were achieved by titrimetry and spectrophotometry.     

Wrinkling and Growth Mechanism of CuO Nanowires in Thermal Oxidation of Copper Foil

We report a systematic study on wrinkling and CuO nanowires （NWs） growth in the thermal oxidation of copper foil. Copper foils with thickness of 0.5 mm were thermally oxidized in air at 500℃ for 0.5-10 h. It is found that all the samples have wrinkles and the size of the wrinkles increases with the oxidation time increasing. CuO NWs can grow on both the sidehill and hilltop of wrinkle. The CuO NWs on sidehill are longer and denser than those on hilltop. The growth direction of the CuO NWs on sidehill is not vertical to the substrate but vertical to their growth surfaces. The process of wrinkling and CuO NWs growth can be divided into three stages： undulating, voiding, and cracking. The CuO NWs on both sidehill and hilltop grow at the undulating stage. However, only the CuO NWs on sidehill grow and those on hilltop stop growing at the voiding and cracking stages because of the void in hilltop. The local electric field in a wrinkle at undulating stage was calculated, and it is found that the difference of local electric field strengths between hilltop and sidehill is small, which indicates that the predominant driving force for the diffusion of Cu ion during CuO NWs growth is internal stress.     

Influence of clay on the morphology and phase separation behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) blends

The effect of clay on the morphology and phase-separation behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styreneco-acrylonitrile)(PMMA/SAN) blends and the variation of clay dispersion have been investigated. With the evolution of phase separation in PMMA/SAN, most of the clays are first located at the boundaries between PMMA and SAN, and then gradually move to the PMMA-rich domain, owing to the affinity of clay to PMMA. The introduction of clay causes the increase of binodal and spinodal temperatures of PMMA/SAN and enlarges their metastable region, indicating the phase stabilizing effect of clay on the matrix. But the influence of clay on the cloud points obviously depends on the composition of PMMA/SAN. The selective adsorption of PMMA on the clay results in the difference between the composition of surface layer and that of polymer matrix. Hence, the clay plays the role of an agent changing the conditions of phase structure formation.     

Electrochemical conversi on of carb on dioxide in molten salts:In-situ and beyond

The state-of-the-art industry based on carb on-inte nsive energy causes major concerns on energy and environmental sustainability.Carb on n eutrality is now a worldwide con sensus and an imperative task.Efficient capture and/or conversion of carbon dioxide(CO₂)is key-enabling to achieve carbon neutrality.Challenges of the aforenamed task lie in the chemical inertness of CO₂ and costly separation of CO₂ from flue gases.Capture and conversion of CO₂ on the occasions of gen eration,namely in-situ CO₂ conversi on,are highly desired.     

A New Method of Separation of Four Benzodiazepines by RP-CEC

A new method to separate diazepam, nitrazepam, estazolam, alprazolam was established on both C18 and C8 CEC columns. The influence of separation voltage, Tris concentration, column temperature and the percentage of acetonitrile on the resolution and retention behavior of four benzodiazepines was investigated. The results showed that the percentage of acetonitrile had the largest effect on the resolution and retention behavior of the four benzodiazepines. Other separation conditions had also effects on the resolution and retention behavior, but smaller than the concentration of acetonitrile. Optimum separation conditions were obtained to separate four benzodiazepines on C18 and C8 CEC columns.     

CO-DEPOSITION OF Li(Ⅰ)WITH RE(Ⅲ)AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE PRODUCTION OF Al-Li-Cu-RE ALLOY BY MOLTEN SALT ELECTROLYSIS

The possibility of co-deposition of Li(Ⅰ)and RE(Ⅲ)has been estimated by boththeoretical analysis and experimental study on the influences of temperature and concen-tration of chloride on the deposition potential.Both the electrochemical and electrolyticresults clearly show that Li(Ⅰ)and RE(Ⅲ)can co-deposit on the Al-Cu electrode underselected conditions.     

The Adsorption and Photocatalytic Decomposition of Citric Acid on Pt/TiO_2

The adsorption and photocatalutic decomposition of citric acid on both Pt/TiO2 powder and n-TiO2 single crystal electrode were studied in aqueous solutions of various pH. It was found that citrate ions were chemisorbed on TiO2, which could increase the interfacial capacity and the filling factor of photocurrent-potential curves. The quantity of adsorption, slope of mott-Shottky plot and the rate of photocatalytic decomposition of citric acid were found to depend strongly on pH of solution. The phot ocatalytic decomposition of citric acid was discussed in light of its adsorption on TiO2.     

Intercalation assembly of optical hybrid materials based on layered terbium hydroxide hosts and organic sensitizer anions guests

Optical hybrid materials based on inorganic hosts and organic sensitizer guests hold promise for a virtually unlimited number of applications.In particular,the interaction and the combination of the properties of a defined inorganic matrix and a specific sensitizer could lead to synergistic effects in luminescence enhancing and tuning.The current article focuses on the intercalation assembly of optical hybrid materials based on the layered terbium hydroxide(LTbH) hosts and organic divalent carboxylic sensitizer anion guests by a hydrothermal process.The studies on the interactions between hosts and guests indicate that the type and arrangement of organic guests in the layer spacing of the LTbH hosts can make a difference in the luminescence of the hybrid inorganic-organic materials.     

THERMOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALLINE COPOLYESTERS-SOLID STATE POLYMORPHISM

This paper offers some new evidence on the polymorphism of solid state of liquid crystalline aromatic copolyesters which were prepared in our laboratory. The effects of different treatment conditions(quenching and annealing) on solid structure have been examined mainly by DSC and X-ray diffraction. The discussion focuses on the supercooled mesophase and low temperature solid-solid transition, the shifting of double melting peaks of annealed samples and the changing of their ΔH data depending on the treatment temperature, time and thermal scanning rate.     

ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SINGLE AND MIXED AMMONIUM AND PHOSPHONIUM SALTS GRAFTED ON “GEL—TYPE” SYYRENE—DIVINYLBENZENE COPOLYMERS

A systematic study on the synthesis and antibacterial activity of the quaternary“onium“ salts grafted on an insoluble“gel-type“ stryene-7% divinylbenzene copolymer by polymer-analogous reactions is showed.Antibacterial activity of quaternary ammonium and/or phosphonium salts grafted on polymer-supports has been studied against staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.A wide variety of “onium“ salts bound to macromolecular supports with different quaternary groups and different quaternary chain length substituents were examined.The antibacterial activity of mixed “onium“ salts increases as a consequence of the association of ammonium and phosphonium salts grafted on the same polymeric support.     

ADSORPTION CHARACTERISTICS OF SACFs FORA VARIETY OF DYES

The isothermal adsorption of dyes on a variety of sisal based activated carbon fibers (SACFs),and the influence of pH and temperature on adsorption are discussed in this paper.The results indicate that the adsorption of methylene blue,crystal violet and Eriochrome blue black R on SACFs shows type I isotherms and can be described by the Langmuir equation or the Freudlich equation.The acidity of solution has greatly influence over the adsorption amounts of methylene blue,crystal violet and Eriochrome blue black R.As pHs of the solutions were adjusted to increase or decrease from the original acidity of the solution(4.7,4.1 and 4.0 for methylene blue,crystal violet and Eriochrome blue black R,respectively),the amounts of dyes adsorbed on SACFs increased.The adsorption temperature(in the range of 25-50℃) exerts little influence on the adsorption amount of methylene blue,crystal violet and fluorescein.For azo dyes (Eriochrome blue black R and Eriochrome black T),however,the adsorption amount increases slightly with the elevation of temperature.     

高效液相色谱手性固定相的研究 I:L-缬氨酸-叔丁酰胺型固定相的制备及对映体拆分

A new chiral chemically bonded stationary phase for direct resolution of optical isomers in HPLC was prepared. The experiemental data showed that the chiral stationary phase gave good resolution for the racemic α-amino acid derivatives and that there was no significant influence on the resolution as the eluting rate varied from 0.6 to 2.0 mL/min. The content of isopropanol in the eluent significantly affected the resolution of the enantiomers. The eluent consisting of 1% isopropanol in hexane gave most favorable result, but the retention times were a little longer. It is evident that the resolution was also influenced by the structure of the solute. In all cases, the resolution of N-Ac-DL-Phe-OMe is lower than that of N-Ac-DL-Leu-OMe and N-Ac-DL-Val-OMe. Although the capacity factor of N-Ac-DL-Tyr-Ome varied greatly in different eluting systems, the separation factor and resolution were very close. It was observed that D-amino acid derivatives eluted faster than the corresponding L-isomers. In the above chromatographic conditions N-acetyl-DL-α-phenylethylamine could not be resolved.     

Studies on Antivirus Effects of Polysaccharides from Sargassum fusiforme in vitro

To assay antiviral effects of the polysaccharide and its separated products from Sargassumfusiforme on HSV-1 and CVB3 and their antiviral mechanism, the antiviral effects of all samples on HSV-1 and CVB3 and their cytotoxicity on vero cells were studied by CPE and MTT method. Antiviral mechanism of two samples was briefly studied by four different ways. The cytotoxicity of samples on vero cells was not detected (CC＞5000 μg/mL). All samples except PSJ had obviously HSV-1 inhibitory effect. Antiviral activities of them were increasingly strengthened with raising their purities.Antiviral activities of F1, F2 and F4 were better than that of ACV, and antiviral activities of all samples on CVB3 were better than ribavirin injection. Fi, F2 and F4 had remarkable anti-CVB3 activity. The experiment showed that polysaccharide was able to not only kill the above viruses directly but also restrain them by getting into cell or absorbing on cells.

六氢茚满催化开环: 氢解和阳离子反应路径(英文)

Perhydroindan(bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane) was converted in a flow-type apparatus under a hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa on six different catalysts,namely on a bifunctional Pd/Na,H-Beta zeolite,on Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y zeolites with a low concentration of Br?nsted acid sites,and on three catalysts containing the three noble metals on the non-acidic support silica.On the bifunctional zeolite Pd/Na,H-Beta,skeletal isomerization of perhydroindan was the primary reaction followed by opening of one naphthenic ring,the formation of open-chain nonanes in low yields of ca.6%,and hydrocracked products C8-.The carbon number distribution of the latter was volcano-shaped with no C1,C2,C7,and C8 indicating a carbocationic hydrocracking of C9 precursors with one naphthenic ring.On Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y("high-performance ring-opening catalysts"),ring opening and hydrocracking to C8-occurred by hydrogenolysis on the respective metal.Opening of the five-membered ring was found to be much faster than opening of the six-membered ring,in agreement with literature reports.The maximal selectivities of open-chain nonanes(OCNs) attained on Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y were very high,viz.49% and 54%,respectively,and significantly better than those of the open-chain decanes observed previously with decalin as model hydrocarbon.The OCNs formed on Pt/Na,H-Y were much less branched than those formed on Ir/Na,H-Y which was interpreted in terms of the different hydrogenolysis mechanisms on both metals.Valuable ancillary mechanistic information was obtained from the selectivities of perhydroindan hydroconversion on the three noble metals on silica.In contrast to Pd/silica,Ir/silica and Pt/silica gave appreciable selectivities of OCNs as well,yet the maximum values of these selectivities were lower than those obtained on the two high-performance zeolite catalysts.     

Effect of Nanoclay on the Phase Separation Behavior of Poly（methyl methacrylate）/Poly（vinyl acetate） Binary Polymer Blends

The effect of nanoclay on the phase-separation behavior of poly（methyl methacrylate）/poly（vinyl acetate）（PMMA/PVAc） blends has been mainly investigated by small-angle laser light scattering. It is found that the effect of clay on the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase-separation for PMMA/PVAc blends seems inconsistent. The kinetics phaseseparation rate decreases, while the thermodynamics parameters, cloud points Tc and delay time tD of isothermal phaseseparation also decrease, and the variation amplitude depends on the matrix composition. The affinity of clay to PMMA results in the composition difference between the border layer and the polymer matrix and further causes the concentration fluctuation at the early stage of phase separation to reduce Tc and tD. On the other hand, the decrease of phase-separation rate is caused by the mechanical barrier effect of clay on the macromolecular diffusion of blend matrix. Hence, such seemingly counterintuitive results on the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase-separation are attributed to different dominant factors.     

THEORY OF GAS-PHASE ACIDITY(Ⅰ)CORRELATION OF DEPROTONATION ENERGY WITH HYDROGEN CHARGE

The charge distributions of various acids and their conjugate bases are calculated by using CNDO/2 and MNDO with full geometry optimization.The deprotonation energy is found to be better correlated with the charge on the acidic hydrogen than with the charge on the atom linking to the hydrogen and with the charge on the nucleophilic atom of the conjugate base.This shows that the charge on the acidic hydrogen has an important effect on acidity,whereas the effect of the charge on the linking atom and on the nucleophilic atom of the conjugate base is not important.It can thus be deduced that the view of stabilization of the anio'n due to dispersion of the negative charge is not a significant explanation of acidity.     

固体酸烷基化催化剂表面上焦炭前身物的结构和物化表征

In order to lay a foundation for effective regeneration of P W heteropoly acid catalyst supported on SiO 2 aged in the alkylation of isobutane with butene, the molecular structure and physicochemical properties of coke precursor deposited on the surface of solid acid alkylation catalyst are clearly recognized and identified by means of various characterization approaches, including IR, NMR, GC MS and GC. According to the characterization results, the coke precursors are mainly made up of long chain saturated hydrocarbons and small amount of polynucleo aromatics. The coke precursors deposit on the catalysts do not block the pores of the catalysts, but deposited on the acid centres of catalyst. It causes that the acid strength of active centres of the catalyst descends, and selectivity for alkylation becomes worse. It is found that the species of coke precursor consist of C 13 ～C 21 paraffin. The results obtained in the project are different entirely from that other researchers gained before. It will be of benefit to investigate and find out new regeneration methods of solid acid alkylation catalyst.     

两种希夫碱对大肠杆菌抗菌活性的微量热法研究

The microcalorimetric method was used to study the antibacterial activity of two newly synthesized Schiff base compounds （H2L3＇ and H2L3） on Escherichia coli, trying to obtain the action on both of multiplying bacteria and non-multiplying bacteria at one experiment. The metabolic power-time curves of the bacteria treated with the compounds were obtained, and the thermokinetic parameters were analyzed, from which the antibacterial activities of these compounds were evaluated. The results showed that both of the two compounds have good activity on aerobic multiplying metabolism of E. coli, with the value of ICso 75.8 and 168.8 mg/L respectively, but have not effective action on fermentation metabolism of E. coli. The action of the compounds on the non-multiplying metabolism was investigated by taking the heat output of E. coli in the stationary phase as the guideline of the activity. The value of MSCso （minimum stationary-cidal concentration 50） of them is 118 and 187.5 mg/L, respectively. So, H2L^3 has stronger antibacterial action on E. coli than H2L^3 either for multiplying bacteria or non-multiplying bacteria, and their activity on the aerobic multiplying bacteria of E. coil is mainly shown. It does strongly suggest that the calorimetric method should play an important role in the fight against the drug-resistant bacteria.
