Photolysis of organic pollutants in wastewater with 206 nm UV irradiation

A new-type UV light source(206 nm) was explored for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater for the first time.The degradation performances of triphenyltin chloride(TPTCl),dimethyl phthalate(DMP),as well as rhodamine B(RhB) were investigated.The results indicated that removal efficiency of 50 mg/L RhB,60 mg/L DMP and 120 mg/L TPTCl can reach 88.6%, 92.5%and 89.4%for 60 min,50 min and 75 min,respectively.By comparison of removal efficiency,we found 206 nm is superior to 253.7 nm UV in wastewat...     

Synthesis of micron-sized hollow silica spheres with a novel mesoporous shell of MCF

Micron-sized hollow silica spheres whose shells are made up of mesocellular silica foams(MCFs) have been synthesized by one-pot sol-gel method in benzene/water/P123 emulsion.The material is characterized with SEM,TEM,BET and ~(29)Si MAS NMR. The results show that the MCFs of the unique shell of hollow silica spheres were connected by large windows with a narrow distribution of～10 nm in diameter,the inner space of the hollow sphere is accessible.And the formation mechanism of the hollow silica spheres is ...     

Synthesis and Self-assembling of Coumarin-based Low-molecular Weight Organogelators

Four coumarin derivatives(4a―4d) with different alkoxy chains were synthesized. It was found that compound 4d showed a better gelation ability than the other compounds, for example, it could self-assemble into organogels in various organic fluids via ultrasound treatment or heating-cooling process, whereas compound 4c could only gel in a few mixed solvents and compounds 4a, 4b could not form organogel. The results from fluorescent and FT-IR spectra indicate that π-π interaction had an effect on the formatio...     

Synthesis of Poly（aryl ether ketone） Copolymers Containing Adamantyl-substituted Naphthalene Rings

Refolding and Purification of Yeast Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases CT Domain Expressed as Inclusion Bodies in Escherichia coli

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) is a crucial enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, by regulating the first committed step in the process. Therefore, it is a potential target for the development of new compounds against obesity or as herbicides. The cDNA encoding yeast ACCase CT domains(YCTs) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was amplified by RT-PCR and inserted into the vector PET28a(+) for bacterial expression of YCT fused to N-terminal His-tag(YCT-his6). YCTs-his6 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) PLys as ...     

High Sensitive Long Period Fiber Grating Sensor for Detection of Nitrite

A high sensitive long period fiber grating(LPFG) sensor for the detection of nitrite is proposed, which is realized by coating multiple poly(sodium 4-styrensulfonate)(PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDDA) layers on the fiber grating surface. The sensitivity of this LPFG sensor is maximum when the number of assembled layers is 70. Under this condition, a nitrite concentration of 3×10-3 mol/L, which is lower than the National Food Additive Standard, 4.2×10-3 mol/L, can be distinguished. The s...     

Synthesis,Structure and Properties of Three-dimensional Gd(Ⅲ),Eu(Ⅲ) Coordination Polymers via in situ Decarboxylation

Two three-dimensional lanthanide(Ⅲ) coordination polymers with the formula [Ln(PYDC)(NA)(H2O)]n [Ln=Gd(1), Eu(2), H2PYDC=pyridine-2,5-bicarboxylic acid, HNA=nicotinic acid] have been hydrothermally synthe- sized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The NA came from in situ decarboxylation of the part of PYDC. X-ray single crystal structural analyses reveal that complexes 1 and 2 are iso- morphous, they possess the 43·63 topology assembled by Gd3+/Eu3+ and two di...     

Fluorescence-quenching of Tryptophan Ion-18-crown-6 Complex——A Different Observation from Its Neutral Counterpart

It is well-known that primary amines form inclusive complexes with crown ethers. This kind of noncova-lently inclusive complexes,exemplified tryptophan complex with 18-crown-6,was studied by combination of two experimental methods,fluorimetry and mass spectrometry,with theoretical calculation. Fluorescence intensity of tryptophan in the absence and the presence of 18-crown-6 in aqueous HAc-NaAc buffer solution at pH=3.73 has been studied by fluorometry. The fluorescence intensity decreases significantly wit...     

Adsorption of Benzene and Propylene in Zeolite ZSM-5： Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations

The adsorption behavior of benzene and propylene in zeolite ZSM-5 was studied by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo(GCMC) simulations. It could be found that benzene and propylene molecules showed different adsorption behavior in the zeolite cavities. The loadings of propylene were significantly larger than those of benzene at 100 kPa. From the figures of potential energy distribution,the potential energy of benzene/zeolite was more negative than that of propylene/zeolite,so benzene could be adsorbed more stably t...     

Spectral Characteristics of LiSrBO3：Tb^3＋ Green Phosphor

LiSrBO3:Tb3+ green phosphor was synthesized by means of a solid state reaction and its spectral characteristics were studied. The emission spectrum of LiSrBO3:Tb3+ consists of four major bands at 486, 544, 595 and 620 nm under the excitation of near ultraviolet irradiation, which are originated from the 5D4→7F6, 5D4→7F5, 5D4→7F4 and 5D4→7F3 characteristic transitions of Tb3+, respectively. Monitored at 544 nm, the excitation spectrum of the phosphor extends from 220 nm to 390 nm, with the excitation peaks c...
