分散聚合法制备耐盐型两性絮凝剂及絮凝性能

以丙烯酰胺(AM)为主体,同时引入正、负2种电荷基团单体,在盐水介质中采用分散聚合法,成功制备了耐盐型两性絮凝剂（P（AM/AA/DMBAC）,简称AAB系列）。 系统地考察了分散介质、分散剂、单体浓度和链转移剂（次磷酸钠、甲酸钠）用量对两性絮凝剂AAB特性粘数和表观黏度的影响,确定了最佳反应条件为：n(AM)∶n(AA)∶n(DMBAC)=90∶5∶5,w（单体含量）=13%、w（PDAC）=6%(基于单体总质量)、w（硫酸铵）=25%(基于体系质量)、w（引发剂（VA-044））=0.2%(基于单体总质量)、ρ（次磷酸钠）=0.05 g/L、ρ（甲酸钠）=1.0 g/L,反应温度35 ℃,反应时间24 h,并通过絮凝试验评价了该两型絮凝剂的絮凝性能和耐盐性。 结果表明,在最佳反应条件下,两性絮凝剂具有较大的特性粘数（5.2 dL/g）和良好的稳定性;在高盐浓度的模拟污水中,两性絮凝剂具有使用剂量小（30×10-6）,絮团沉降速率快（2.56 s-1）等优点,表现出优异的絮凝能力和良好的耐盐性。     

Biological Removal of Phosphate at Low Concentrations Using Recombinant Escherichia coli Expressing Phosphate-Binding Protein in Periplasmic Space

During wastewater treatment, phosphate removal is an important and challenging process; thus, diverse technologies, including those derived from biological means, have been devised for efficient phosphate removal. Although conventional biological methods are effective in decreasing wastewater phosphate levels to ~1 mg/L, long periods of microbial adaptation are required for effective phosphate removal, and the removal efficiency of these methods is relatively poor at lower phosphate concentrations. In the present work, we constructed a recombinant Escherichia coli with periplasmic-expressed phosphate-binding protein (PBP) and investigated its biological removal ability for low phosphate levels. We found that the PBP-expressing recombinant E. coli cells showed efficient (> 94 %) removal of phosphate at low concentrations (0.2–1.0 mg/L) in a treated cell mass-dependent manner. Collectively, we propose that our PBP-expressing recombinant whole-cell system could be successfully used during wastewater treatment for the biological removal of low concentrations of phosphate.

用真空电弧熔炼方法制备了Zr1-xScxMn0.6V0.2Ni1.2Co0.1(x=0～1)AB2型储氢合金,研究了Sc元素替代Zr对合金的微观组织结构、气态储氢及电化学性能的影响。研究结果表明,Zr1-xScxMn0.6V0.2Ni1.2Co0.1合金主要是由FCC型C15相、CsCl型结构的(ScZr)Ni相和少量的Ni10Zr7相组成,随Sc含量的增加,C15相丰度逐渐减小,(ScZr)Ni相丰度逐渐增加,当x=0.2时Ni10Zr7相基本消失;Sc元素对合金的首次气态吸氢动力学行为影响较大,随Sc含量的增加,合金吸氢动力学性能逐渐变缓,但吸氢容量逐渐提高,直至达x=1.0时的最大吸氢量1.87%;Sc元素对合金吸氢PCT曲线平衡氢压的影响规律不明显,随Sc含量增加,合金氢化物的形成焓ΔH从-26.66 kJ.mol-1逐渐减小到-8.14 kJ.mol-1。Sc元素的加入可明显改善合金电极的活化性能,提高放电容量,随Sc含量的增加,合金电极最大放电容量从x=0时的350.3 mAh.g-1增加到x=1时的429.8 mAh.g-1,呈先减小后增大的趋势,但电极容量的保持率S100随Sc含量增加而快速下降。     

Efficient Synthesis of Aryl Hydroxylactams by Reducing Imides With Activated Zinc Dust

A series of aryl hydroxylactams (2a, 2b, 2d–2g, 2i–2k, 2m, and 2n) was synthesized by partially reducing aryl cyclic imides in moderate to excellent yields with activated zinc dust alone in acetic acid. This method was regiospecific and can be employed as an alternative for reported methods to partially reduce aryl cyclic imides.

以3-氨基-1,2,4三唑-5-甲酸（HAtca）为配体,通过水热法和溶液扩散法分别设计合成了2个结构新颖的配合物[Zn（Athy）Br]_n（1,HAthy=3-氨基-5-羟基-1,2,4三唑）和[Mn（Atca）₂（H₂O）₂]（2）。单晶结构分析表明配合物1和2分别属于正交和单斜晶系,结晶于Pbca和P2₁/c空间群。配合物1为2D层状结构,配合物2是单核配合物。在配合物1中不存在氢键,而配合物2中含有丰富的氢键作用,并且通过氢键的作用形成了3D网格结构。在固态下,配合物1和2分别在360,462 nm和382,402 nm处显示有较强的荧光发射,且配合物2较1有60 nm的蓝移。     

Photocatalytic Activity of Nanocomposites of ZnO and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Dye Degradation

Nanocomposites of ZnO and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared via electrostatic interaction and in situ hydrothermal synthesis approaches. The ZnO/MWNTs nanocomposites display relatively higher photocatalytic activity than ZnO nanoparticles for the degradation of Rhodamine B. Therein, MWNTs, acting as a photogenerated electron acceptor, retard the recombination of photoinduced electron and hole. The experimental results show that the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/MWNTs nanocomposites strongly depends on the synthetic route, which is probably due to the difference of surface states resulted from the different preparation processes.     

A Facile Preparation of the Co3O4 Villiform Nanostructure

A Co₃O₄ villiform nanostructure was prepared by the aid of the cobalt oxalate precursor and characterized with x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-vis spectrum. It is found that the villiform structure obtained consists of Co₃O₄ nanorods with diameters of 50–80 nm. Moreover, the UV-vis absorptions of the villiform Co₃O₄ show the apparent blue shifts by comparison with the bulk Co₃O₄, indicating a quantum size effect similar to the free Co₃O₄ nanoparticles.     

Release Property of Alginate Beads Coated with Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate)

Alginate beads were coated with copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide and dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate (P(NIPAM-co-DMAEMA)s) by taking advantage of electrostatic interaction between alginate and the copolymer. The copolymers, of which DMAEMA contents in the feed for the copolymerization were 5.0% (PND 5) and 15.0% (PND 15), were employed for the coatings of alginate beads. The adsorption curve of PND 5 and PND 15 on the surface of alginate beads seemed to be Langmuir isotherm. The beads were coated in the PND solutions (2%, pH 5.0 or pH 7.0) and the amounts of adsorption (g PND/g alginate) were about 1.3 with PND 5 solution (pH 5.0), 1.2 with PND 15 solution (pH 5.0), and 0.75 with PND 15 (pH 7.0). The release from the beads coated with PNDs were observed at 30°C, 37°C, and 45°C using amaranth or FITC-dextran as a dye. The degrees of release were significantly suppressed due to the coating layers of PNDs. However, the coating layers could hardly act as a controller for the temperature-sensitive release.     

Liquid crystal alignment properties of 2-naphthoxymethyl-substituted polystyrenes

The liquid crystal (LC) alignment properties of LC cells fabricated with films of 2-naphthoxymethyl-substituted polystyrenes with different contents of naphthoxymethyl side groups were investigated. The polymer films exhibited good optical transparency in the visible light region (400–700 nm). The LC cells made from the unrubbed films of polymers having more than 57 mol%?of 2-naphthoxymethyl containing monomeric units showed homeotropic LC alignment with a high pretilt angle of about 90^o. Good electro-optical characteristics, such as the threshold voltage, response time, voltage holding ratio and residual DC voltage were observed for the LC cells fabricated with the polymer having 100 mol%?of 2-naphthoxymethyl containing monomeric units as an LC alignment layer.
