4-Phosphoryl Pyrazolones for Highly Selective Lithium Separation from Alkali Metal Ions

Effective receptors for the separation of Li⁺ from a mixture with other alkali metal ions under mild conditions remains an important challenge that could benefit from new approaches. In this study, it is demonstrated that the 4-phosphoryl pyrazolones, H L ²-H L ⁴, in the presence of the typical industrial organophosphorus co-ligands tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO), tributylphosphate (TBP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), are able to selectively recognise and extract lithium ions from aqueous solution. Structural investigations in solution as well as in the solid state reveal the existence of a series of multinuclear Li⁺ complexes that include dimers (TBPO, TBP) as well as rarely observed trimers (TOPO) and represent the first clear evidence for the synergistic role of the co-ligands in the extraction process. Our findings are supported by detailed NMR, MS and extraction studies. Liquid-liquid extraction in the presence of TOPO revealed an unprecedented high Li⁺ extraction efficiency (78 %) for H L ⁴ compared to the use of the industrially employed acylpyrazolone H L ¹ (15 %) and benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (52 %) extractants. In addition, a high selectivity for Li⁺ over Na⁺, K⁺ and Cs⁺ under mild conditions (pH ∼8.2) confirms that H L ²-H L ⁴ represent a new class of ligands that are very effective extractants for use in lithium separation.

Solar Driven Gas Phase Advanced Oxidation Processes for Methane Removal - Challenges and Perspectives

Methane (CH₄) is a potent greenhouse gas and the second highest contributor to global warming. CH₄ emissions are still growing at an alarmingly high pace. To limit global warming to 1.5 °C, one of the most effective strategies is to reduce rapidly the CH₄ emissions by developing large-scale methane removal methods. The purpose of this perspective paper is threefold. (1) To highlight the technology gap dealing with low concentration CH₄ (at many emission sources and in the atmosphere). (2) To analyze the challenges and prospects of solar-driven gas phase advanced oxidation processes for CH₄ removal. And (3) to propose some ideas, which may help to develop solar-driven gas phase advanced oxidation processes and make them deployable at a climate significant scale.

高分散还原态Pt基催化剂的制备及其NO氧化的催化性能

Pt⁰被认为是NO氧化的活性物种,而催化剂的制备方法对活性物种的含量起着决定性作用。本文采用非惰性气氛保护的改性醇还原-浸渍法(MARI)合成了高分散高Pt⁰含量的1% (w, 质量分数) Pt/SiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂(MA-Pt/SA)。X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、CO-漫反射傅里叶变换红外吸收光谱(CO-DRIFTS)和透射电镜(TEM)表征证实在550 ℃焙烧3 h后催化剂的Pt颗粒仅有3.8 nm。同时,X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和H₂-程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)结果表明催化剂具有高Pt⁰含量(60.3%)。模拟柴油车尾气气氛进行活性测试,并与传统浸渍法制备的1% (w) Pt/SiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂(C-Pt/SA)对比,结果显示MA-Pt/SA具有优异的催化氧化性能,其NO最大转化率高达74%,比C-Pt/SA的NO转化率高了23%。经670 ℃高温老化15 h后,老化的MA-Pt/SA的NO转化率仍然高达69%。此外NO + O₂共吸附原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外吸收光谱(in situ DRIFTS of NO + O₂ co-adsorption)表明高的Pt分散度和高Pt⁰含量能够促进中间物种桥式硝酸盐的生成及分解,进而导致了优异的NO氧化活性。最后,利用同样方法将Pt的负载量降低至0.5% (w)制备催化剂,NO转化率仍达64%。这种制备方法能够获得低贵金属高性能的Pt基催化剂。

High Sensitive Electrochemiluminescence Biosensor Based on Ru(phen)32+-loaded Double Strand DNA as Signal Tags use to Detect DNA Methyltransferase Activity

DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase) can act as biomarker for many diseases and it is important to develop some new methods for sensitive detection of DNA MTase. In this work, a highly efficient electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor had been designed for detection of DNA MTase based on Ru(phen)₃²⁺ loaded double strand DNA (dsDNA- Ru(phen)₃²⁺) as signal tags. Ru(phen)₃²⁺ had been efficiently embed in the dsDNA produced through a simple hybridization chain reaction. First, a hairpin probe was designed, which can be specifically recognized by Dam MTase and modified with -SH at one end. It was modified on the surface of gold electrode by -SH as an immobilization probe (IP). This IP will be methylated in the present of Dam MTase and digested by DpnI following. Results in the release of capture probe (CP) which remains on the surface of gold electrode. The CP can hybridize with the single stand part of the dsDNA- Ru(phen)₃²⁺ and make the immobilization of ECL tags on the electrode surface, which results in a strong ECL signals detected. However, without the effect of Dam MTase, the hairpin structure of IP remains stable and cannot capture signal tags, and can only detecte weak ECL signals. The biosensor can detect the activity of Dam MTase in the concentration range of 0.01 U/mL to 20 U/mL with the ECL intensity and the logarithm of the concentration have a linear relationship, and the detection limit is calculated to be 7.6 mU/mL. The developed sensor has the ability to specifically detect Dam MTase, which can be differentiated from other types of DNA MTase. In addition, the designed method has good applicability to detect Dam MTase activity in serum samples and been applied to detect its inhibitor with high efficiency.
