重金属污泥高温处理磨细粉对改性硫氧镁水泥基材料性能的影响

为探究重金属污泥高值资源化利用途径, 研究了含重金属污泥高温处理渣料磨细粉(简称磨细粉)对改性硫氧镁(MMOS)水泥基材料的工作性能、力学性能、早期自由收缩变形及其重金属浸出行为的影响. 结果表明: 随着磨细粉掺量的增加, MMOS水泥基材料的净浆流动度呈现逐渐增大趋势; 早期(3d)力学性能则呈现明显的降低趋势, 90d后磨细粉掺量对MMOS水泥基材料的力学性能的影响程度降低; 磨细粉可以显著降低MMOS水泥基材料早期的自由收缩变形值, 其中含10%磨细粉的MMOS水泥基材料早期的自由收缩变形比未掺加磨细粉MMOS水泥基材料的自由收缩变形值降低了57.1%. 微观分析结果表明: 掺加30%磨细粉后MMOS水泥基材料中水化产物5Mg(OH)2?MgSO4?7H2O(517相)的相对含量降低, MMOS水泥基材料硬化体的平均孔径提高了31.0%, 表明磨细粉降低了MMOS水泥基材料的力学性能. 当磨细粉掺量增加至40%时MMOS水泥基材料硬化体中重金属Ni、Cr、Zn和Cu的浸出浓度指标均能满足GB 30760-2014的浸出要求.     

Simultaneous remote monitoring of atmospheric methane and water vapor using an integrated path DIAL instrument based on a widely tunable optical parametric source

We report on the remote sensing capability of an integrated path differential absorption lidar (IPDIAL) instrument, for multi-species gas detection and monitoring in the 3.3–3.7 µm range. This instrument is based on an optical parametric source composed of a master oscillator-power amplifier scheme—whose core building block is a nested cavity optical parametric oscillator—emitting up to 10 µJ at 3.3 µm. Optical pumping is realized with an innovative single-frequency, 2-kHz repetition rate, nanosecond microchip laser, amplified up to 200 µJ per pulse in a single-crystal fiber amplifier. Simultaneous monitoring of mean atmospheric water vapor and methane concentrations was performed over several days by use of a topographic target, and water vapor concentration measurements show good agreement compared with an in situ hygrometer measurement. Performances of the IPDIAL instrument are assessed in terms of concentration measurement uncertainties and maximum remote achievable range.     

The influence of porosity of ammonium perchlorate (AP) on the thermomechanical and thermal properties of the AP/polyvinylchloride (PVC) composite propellants

The influence of porous ammonium perchlorate (P_OAP) on the thermomechanical and combustion behavior of solid rocket propellants based on polyvinylchloride binder has been investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermogravimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and scanning electronic microscopy measurements were used for thermomechanical and thermal decomposition properties assessment. The results obtained indicate that lower glass transitions of the propellants and catalytic effect of combustion are obtained with P_OAP.     

Simultaneous extraction and determination of various pesticides in environmental waters

A simple and rapid method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of nine different pesticides in water samples by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. A number of parameters that may affect the recovery of pesticides, such as the type of solid‐phase extraction cartridge, eluting solvent in single or combination and their volumes, and water pH value were investigated. It showed that three solid‐phase extraction cartridges (Strata‐X, Oasis HLB, and ENVI‐18) produced the greatest recovery while ethyl acetate/dichloromethane/acetone (45:10:45, 12 mL) followed by dichloromethane (6 mL) was efficient in eluting target pesticides from solid‐phase extraction cartridges. Different water pH values (4–9) did not show a significant effect on the pesticides recovery. The optimized method was verified by performing spiking experiments with a series of concentrations (0.002–10 μg/L) in waters, with good linearity, recovery, and reproducibility for most compounds. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of this optimized method were 0.01–2.01 and 0.02–6.71 ng/L, respectively, much lower than the European Union environmental quality standard for the pesticides (0.1 μg/L) in waters. The proposed method was further validated by participation in an interlaboratory trial. It was then subsequently applied to river waters from north‐east Scotland, UK, for the determination of the target pesticides.     

A chiral Mn(III) salen complex immobilized onto ionic liquid modified mesoporous silica for oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols

A supported ionic liquid strategy has been applied for the immobilization of a chiral Mn(III) salen complex onto ionic liquid modified mesoporous silica SBA-15. The immobilized catalyst demonstrated high enantioselectivity and activity in the oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols, and could be recycled five times without obvious loss of activity.     

A closer look: magnetic behavior of a three-dimensional cyanometalate coordination polymer dominated by a trace amount of nanoparticle impurity

The structure and properties of the K{Ni[Au(CN)(2)](3)} coordination polymer, prepared as a powder at room temperature and recrystallized hydrothermally, are reported. The structure of K{Ni[Au(CN)(2)](3)} contains triply-interpenetrated Prussian Blue type pseudo-cubic arrays assembled from the alternation of octahedral Ni(II) centers and [Au(CN)(2)](-) bridging units. SQUID magnetometry studies have shown that K{Ni[Au(CN)(2)](3)} displays typical paramagnetic behavior for isolated Ni(II) centers down to 1.8 K. However, the magnetic behavior of the samples prepared under hydrothermal conditions suggests a superparamagnetic signature superimposed onto a paramagnetic background. After investigating the samples by transmission electron microscopy, it was determined that, in addition to K{Ni[Au(CN)(2)](3)}, the high-temperature (125, 135, and 165 degrees C) aqueous reaction of Ni(NO(3))(2)6 H(2)O with KAu(CN)(2) also led to the formation of nanoparticles of NiO and Au as minor side products, and that these dominated the magnetic behavior. Nanoparticles of various sizes and shapes were observed, depending on the reaction conditions. Samples containing nanoparticles were found to be superparamagnetic, exhibiting blocking temperatures of approximately 17-22 K, consistent with the behavior expected for NiO nanoparticles. These results illustrate the extreme care that must be taken when examining the physical properties of apparently analytically pure materials prepared by hydrothermal methods.

Guanidinium binding modulates guest exchange within an [M4L6] capsule

Take it slow! A metal-organic container molecule has been shown to bind guanidinium cations (blue) between the sulfonate groups on its periphery, as well as accommodating guests such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane in its internal cavity (red). Kinetic studies on the system demonstrated a linear relationship between the amount of bound guanidinium ions and the rate of guest exchange.

Expression of GD3 synthase modifies ganglioside profile and increases migration of MCF-7 breast cancer cells

B- and c-series of gangliosides are over-expressed in neuro-ectoderm-related cancers, including breast cancer. It has been shown that G_D3 ganglioside is over-expressed in about 50% of invasive ductal breast carcinoma and the G_D3 synthase (GD3S) gene displays higher expression among estrogen receptor (ER) negative breast tumors. We previously showed that GD3S expression in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells induces the expression of G_D2 and increased cell proliferation and migration via a G_D2-dependent activation of c-Met receptor. Here, we show that in ER-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells, GD3S expression resulted in an increase of G_D1b, which was associated with a decrease of G_M1a and G_M2. Meanwhile, GD3S expressing MCF-7 cells exhibited an increased migration without any modification of proliferation rate. Therefore, GD3S expression can result in different modifications of both ganglioside profiles and cell phenotypes depending on breast cell types.
