Hydroxyapatite-supported Ni-Ce-Cu catalysts were synthesised and tested to study their potential for use in the steam reforming of glycerol to produce hydrogen. The catalysts were prepared by the deposition-precipitation method with variable nickel, cerium, and copper loadings. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated in terms of hydrogen yield at 600°C in a tubular fixed-bed microreactor. All catalysts were characterised by the BET surface area, XRD, TPR, TEM, and FE-SEM techniques. The reaction time was 240 min in a fixed-bed reactor at 600°C and atmospheric pressure with a water-to-glycerol feed molar ratio of 8: 1. It was found that the Ni-Ce-Cu (3 mass %-7.5 mass %-7.5 mass %) hydroxyapatite-supported catalyst afforded the highest hydrogen yield (57.5 %), with a glycerol conversion rate of 97.3 %. The results indicate that Ni/Ce/Cu/hydroxyapatite has great potential as a catalyst for hydrogen production by steam reforming of glycerol. 相似文献
Reported is the first method to prepare a new class of thienopyrazole thioglycosides via a one‐pot reaction of the sodium thienopyrazolthiolate salts with 2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐α‐D‐gluco‐and galactopyranosyl bromides. The sodium thienopyrazolthiolate salts are prepared using pyrazoldithioic acids and their corresponding mono ‐ and dithiolate salts. 相似文献
In this study, acrylamide-based hydrogels are synthesized by free radical solution polymerization in aqueous solution using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and its derivative polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) with different molecular weights as crosslinkers in the solution medium. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique is used for the structural characterization of the hydrogels. Dynamic swelling tests are conducted on acrylamide-based hydrogels for the determination of the swelling characteristics with respect to different crosslinking concentrations at room temperature. The parameters of swelling kinetics and diffusion mechanisms of the hydrogels are calculated with the aid of the data obtained. Accordingly, PEGDMA and EGDMA absorption capacity is found to increase with increasing concentrations. The lowest and highest water absorption capacities in PEGDMA810 and EGDMA crosslinked hydrogels are 22.73–48.39 and 10.15–16.02 g/g, respectively. Water intake of hydrogels crosslinked by EGDMA and PEGDMAs followed Fickian nature type diffusion except for PEGDM810, which has a swelling exponent greater than 0.5 and so does not follow a Fickian type of diffusion. PEGDM810 showed the fastest diffusion rate of between 5.87 × 10?4 and 10.87 × 10?4 cm2 s?1. 相似文献
Naringenin (Nar) is an important bioactive flavonoid with poor organic solubility and oral bioavailability. It is highly promising for treatment of conditions including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hepatitis C infection. Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) of Nar is an appealing way to enhance its solubility, and carboxylated cellulose esters are attractive polymers for this purpose because of their ability to stabilize drugs against crystallization in both solid and solution phases, while restricting drug release to the pH of the small intestine (ca. 6.8). We demonstrate that ASDs of Nar can be formed using such carboxylated cellulose derivatives as cellulose acetate adipate propionate (CAAdP), carboxymethylcellulose acetate butyrate (CMCAB) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS). We compare Nar solution concentrations and release profiles from these cellulosic ASDs to those from pure crystalline Nar, and to Nar ASD in poly(vinylpyrrolidinone) (PVP). We show that all polymers in this study form ASDs with Nar, that the PVP ASDs release Nar at both gastric (1.2) and small intestine (6.8) pH, and that the cellulosic polymers release Nar selectively at neutral pH. Solution concentrations of Nar are significantly enhanced from these ASDs. These preliminary studies indicate that HPMCAS, CAAdP, and CMCAB are practical ASD polymers for Nar due to their ability to generate and stabilize high solution concentrations, and their pH-triggered drug release. 相似文献
We have developed a base promoted simple, efficient and alternative approach for the synthesis of 4-amino-3-aroyl//heteroaroyl/acetyl-2-methylsulfanyl-naphthalene-1-carbonitriles by reaction of easily accessible 3,3-bis(methylthio)-1-aryl/heteroaryl/acetylprop-2-en-1-one and 2-cyanomethyl-benzonitrile. Reaction of 1-(2-halo/methoxy-phenyl)-3,3-bis(methylthio)prop-2-en-1-one and 2-cyanomethyl-benzonitrile under basic conditions also afforded 6-(methylthio)-7-oxo-7,12-dihydrobenzo[c]acridine-5-carbonitrile along with usual product. Structure of the synthesized product has been confirmed by single X-ray crystallography. 相似文献
Copolymers of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and dopamine methacrylate can establish a reversible, self‐healing 3D network in aprotic solvents based on hydrogen bonding. The reactivity and hydrogen bonding formation of catechol groups in copolymer chains are studied by UV–vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy, while reversibility from sol to gel and inverse as well as self‐healing properties are tested rheologically. The produced reversible organogel can self‐encapsulate physically interacting or chemically bonded solutes such as drugs due to thermosensitivity of the used copolymer. This system offers dual‐targeted and controlled drug delivery and release—by slowing down release kinetics by supramolecular bonding of the drug and by reducing diffusion rates due to modulus increase.

Conducting polymers are considered as reactive gels which can sense the working ambient through their unique electrochemical reaction. Copolymers of aniline with o-toluidine for three different monomer compositions were synthesized chemically and were characterized using FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, TGA, and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical reactive sensing characteristics with respect to the electrical and chemical working conditions of the copolymers were verified and compared through Chronopotentiometric responses in aqueous solutions of HCl by changing the reaction variables: applied current and chemical environment (electrolyte concentration) at a fixed constant charge. The consumed electrical energy during the electrochemical reaction of the copolymers varies linearly with the driving current and follows a logarithmic dependence on the electrolyte concentration. The consumed electrical energy during the reaction was found to act as the sensing parameter. At the same experimental condition, the sensitivity was associated with the conductivity of the copolymers. The highly conducting composition gives the highest sensitivity. These experimental results were fitted with the theoretical equation.
