Pd/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂催化氧化邻-二甲苯

利用纳米γ-Al_2O_3(10 nm)和普通γ-Al_2O_3(200-300 nm),采用浸渍法制备了1%(w)Pd/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂,考察了其催化氧化邻-二甲苯的性能以及催化剂的活性在氢气还原前后的区别。实验结果发现1%(w)Pd/γ-Al_2O_3(nano)在H_2还原后催化氧化邻-二甲苯的活性最高,T_(90)为150℃。利用X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积(BET)、透射电镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等表征手段,研究了1%(w)Pd/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂物性结构与催化性能之间的构效关系。结果表明,还原态Pd是H_2还原后催化剂催化氧化邻-二甲苯的活性物种;Pd的颗粒大小与催化剂活性有显著的关系,小粒径有利于催化剂活性提高;纳米γ-Al_2O_3载体与Pd之间的相互作用强,有利于Pd的粒径控制和分散,从而提高1%(w)Pd/γ-Al_2O_3(nano)催化剂的活性。

<Emphasis Type="Italic">CrMAPK3</Emphasis> regulates the expression of iron-deficiency-responsive genes in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</Emphasis>

Background

Under iron-deficient conditions, Chlamydomonas exhibits high affinity for iron absorption. Nevertheless, the response, transmission, and regulation of downstream gene expression in algae cells have not to be investigated. Considering that the MAPK pathway is essential for abiotic stress responses, we determined whether this pathway is involved in iron deficiency signal transduction in Chlamydomonas.

Results

Arabidopsis MAPK gene sequences were used as entry data to search for homologous genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genome database to investigate the functions of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene family in C. reinhardtii under iron-free conditions. Results revealed 16 C. reinhardtii MAPK genes labeled CrMAPK2–CrMAPK17 with TXY conserved domains and low homology to MAPK in yeast, Arabidopsis, and humans. The expression levels of these genes were then analyzed through qRT-PCR and exposure to high salt (150 mM NaCl), low nitrogen, or iron-free conditions. The expression levels of these genes were also subjected to adverse stress conditions. The mRNA levels of CrMAPK2, CrMAPK3, CrMAPK4, CrMAPK5, CrMAPK6, CrMAPK8, CrMAPK9, and CrMAPK11 were remarkably upregulated under iron-deficient stress. The increase in CrMAPK3 expression was 43-fold greater than that in the control. An RNA interference vector was constructed and transformed into C. reinhardtii 2A38, an algal strain with an exogenous FOX1:ARS chimeric gene, to silence CrMAPK3. After this gene was silenced, the mRNA levels and ARS activities of FOX1:ARS chimeric gene and endogenous CrFOX1 were decreased. The mRNA levels of iron-responsive genes, such as CrNRAMP2, CrATX1, CrFTR1, and CrFEA1, were also remarkably reduced.

Conclusion

CrMAPK3 regulates the expression of iron-deficiency-responsive genes in C. reinhardtii.

CFD SIMULATION OF FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING IN DOWNER REACTORS

A mathematical model has been developed for the simulation of gas-particle flow and fluid catalytic cracking in downer reactors. The model takes into account both cracking reaction and flow behavior through a four-lump reaction kinetics coupled with two-phase turbulent flow. The prediction results show that the relatively large change of gas velocity affects directly the axial distribution of solids velocity and void fraction, which significantly interact with the chemical reaction. Furthermore, model simulations are carried out to determine the effects of such parameters on product yields, as bed diameter, reaction temperature and the ratio of catalyst to oil, which are helpful for optimizing the yields of desired products. The model equations are coded and solved on CFX4.4.     

INTERACTION-MEDIATED GROWTH OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON ACICULAR SILICA-COATED α-Fe CATALYST BY CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with 20 nm outer diameter were prepared by chemical vapor deposition of ethylene using ultrafine surface-modified acicular α-Fe catalyst particles.The growth mechanism of MWNTs on the larger catalyst particles are attributed to the interaction between the Fe nanoparticles with the surface-modified silica layer.This interaction-mediated growth mechanism is illustrated by studying the electronic,atomic and crystal properties of surface-modified catalysts and MWNTs products by characterization with X-ray diffraction (XRD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Raman spectra.
