Selective Hydrogenation of CO2 to Ethanol over Cobalt Catalysts

Methods for the hydrogenation of CO₂ into valuable chemicals are in great demand but their development is still challenging. Herein, we report the selective hydrogenation of CO₂ into ethanol over non‐noble cobalt catalysts (CoAlO_x), presenting a significant advance for the conversion of CO₂ into ethanol as the major product. By adjusting the composition of the catalysts through the use of different prereduction temperatures, the efficiency of CO₂ to ethanol hydrogenation was optimized; the catalyst reduced at 600 ° gave an ethanol selectivity of 92.1 % at 140 °C with an ethanol time yield of 0.444 mmol g^?1 h^?1. Operando FT‐IR spectroscopy revealed that the high ethanol selectivity over the CoAlO_x catalyst might be due to the formation of acetate from formate by insertion of *CH_x, a key intermediate in the production of ethanol by CO₂ hydrogenation.     

On generalized inverse transversals

Let S be a regular semigroup, S° an inverse subsemigroup of S.S° is called a generalized inverse transversal of S, if V（x）∩S°≠Ф. In this paper, some properties of this kind of semigroups are discussed. In particular, a construction theorem is obtained which contains some recent results in the literature as its special cases.     

Hydrophobic modification of poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) hollow fiber membrane for vacuum membrane distillation

New hydrophobic poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) hollow fiber composite membranes coated with silicone rubber and with sol–gel polytrifluoropropylsiloxane were obtained by surface-coated modification method. The effects of coating time, coating temperature and the concentration of silicone rubber solution on the vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) properties of silicone rubber coated membranes were investigated. It was found that high water permeate flux could be gotten in low temperature and low concentration of silicone rubber solution. When the coating temperature is 60 °C, the coating time is 9 h and the concentration of silicone rubber solution is 5 g L⁻¹ the water permeate flux of the silicone rubber coated membrane is 3.5 L m⁻² h⁻¹. The prepolymerization time influence the performance of polytrifluoropropylsiloxane coated membranes, and higher prepolymerization time decrease the water permeate flux of the membrane. The water permeate flux and the salt rejection was 3.7 L m⁻² h⁻¹ and 94.6%, respectively in 30 min prepolymerization period. The VMD performances of two composite membranes during long-term operation were studied, and the results indicated that the VMD performances of two composite membranes are quite stable. The salt rejection of silicone rubber coated membrane decreased from 99 to 95% and the water permeate flux fluctuated between 2.0 and 2.5 L m⁻² h⁻¹. The salt rejection of polytrifluoropropylsiloxane coated membrane decreased from 98 to 94% and the water permeate flux fluctuated in 1 L m⁻² h⁻¹ range.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Organosoluble Polychloro Substituted Aromatic Poly(Ether Ketone)s

A novel monomer of tetrachloroterephthaloyl chloride (TCTPC) was prepared by the chlorination of terephthaloyl chloride catalyzed by ferric chloride at 175‐180 °C for 10 h, and confirmed by FTIR, MS and elemental analysis. A series of new polychloro substituted poly(aryl ether ketone)s with inherent viscosities of 0.58‐0.65 dL/g have been prepared from TCTPC with aromatic ether monomers by electrophilic Friedel‐Crafts acylation in the presence of DMF with anhydrous AlCl₃ as a catalyst in 1,2‐dichloroethane. Glass‐transition temperatures of these polychlorinated polymers ranged from 267 to 280 °C by DSC. The degradation temperature at 5% weight loss by TGA in nitrogen for these polymers ranged from 486 to 534 °C, and the char yields at 700 °C were 54‐65%. The polymers having a weight‐average molecular weight in the range of 65,900‐79,300 are all amorphous and readily soluble in polar solvents such as DMF, DMSO and NMP at room temperature. All the polymers formed transparent, strong, and flexible films, with tensile strengths of 86.1‐99.7 MPa, Young's moduli of 2.32‐3.35 GPa, and elongations at break of 10‐15%.     

Fractional‐order switching type control law design for adaptive sliding mode technique of 3D fractional‐order nonlinear systems

In this article, an adaptive sliding mode technique based on a fractional‐order (FO) switching type control law is designed to guarantee robust stability for a class of uncertain three‐dimensional FO nonlinear systems with external disturbance. A novel FO switching type control law is proposed to ensure the existence of the sliding motion in finite time. Appropriate adaptive laws are shown to tackle the uncertainty and external disturbance. The calculation formula of the reaching time is analyzed and computed. The reachability analysis is visualized to show how to obtain a shorter reaching time. A stability criteria of the FO sliding mode dynamics is derived based on indirect approach to Lyapunov stability. Effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is illustrated through numerical simulations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 363–373, 2016     

面向成本-收益好的无标度耦合网络构建方法

较大平均路径长度的网络会带来较大的网络延迟, 难以支持时间敏感业务与应用. 通过增加连接可以降低源和目的节点之间的跳数, 进而降低网络平均延迟, 使得更加快速地传播信息, 但是增加连接的同时也增加了网络构建成本. 分层网络是研究网络耦合的一个有效方法, 但目前网络构建过程中将每层网络分别处理并认为每层网络之间没有强相关性. 本文提出了一种面向成本-收益的无标度网络动态构建方法. 此方法将网络分为多层, 基于连续论在高层网络中添加连接, 使得网络演化为无标度网络. 此连续过程包括节点度增加过程和局部网络半径增长两个连续过程, 在增加连接的过程中引入表征网络构建成本和收益的成本-收益指标. 模拟结果表明引入成本-收益指标的无标度耦合网络构建方法能够在合理范围内有效降低网络平均路径长度, 提升网络性能, 并且本文给出了耦合网络的动态业务性能, 通过调整高层网络避免网络拥塞.
