Insoluble carbonaceous materials as electron shuttles enhance the anaerobic/anoxic bioremediation of redox pollutants: Recent advances

Carbonaceous materials can accelerate extracellular electron transfer for the biotransformation of many recalcitrant, redox-sensitive contaminants and have received considerable attention in fields related to anaerobic bioremediation. As important electron shuttles(ESs), carbonaceous materials effectively participate in redox biotransformation processes, especially microbially-driven Fe reduction or oxidation coupled with pollutions transformation and anaerobic fermentation for energy and by-pro...     

Synthesis of 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoates and their thermal antioxidation behavior for polypropylene

Butyl 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (BB), octyl 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (OB), and dodecyl 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (DB) were synthesized and characterized, and their performance as antioxidant for polypropylene (PP) were also investigated. The thermooxidative stability of PP with different antioxidants were assessed by the measurements of long-term accelerated aging, differential scanning calorimetery, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoates could effectively inhibit the oxidation degradation of PP. And it was also found that the antioxidant efficiency of BB, OB, and DB for PP was in the order of DB > OB > BB.     

Geometric quantization for proper moment maps

We establish a geometric quantization formula for Hamiltonian actions of a compact Lie group acting on a non-compact symplectic manifold such that the associated moment map is proper. In particular, we give a solution to a conjecture of Michèle Vergne. To cite this article: X. Ma, W. Zhang, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 347 (2009).     

Growth of Au nanoparticles on phosphorylated zein protein particles for use as biomimetic catalysts for cascade reactions at the oil–water interface

Chemo-enzymatic cascade processes are invaluable due to their ability to rapidly construct high-value products from available feedstock chemicals in a one-pot relay manner. However, they have proven to be challenging because of the mutual inactivation of both catalysts. A conceptually novel strategy based on Pickering interfacial catalysis (PIC) is proposed here to address this challenge. This study aimed to construct a protein-stabilized Pickering system for biphasic cascade catalysis, enabled by phosphorylated zein nanoparticles (ZCPOPs) immobilized in gold nanoparticles (Au NCs). Ultra-small Au NCs, 1–2 nm in diameter, were integrated into ZCPOPs at room temperature. Then, the as-synthesized ZCPOPs–Au NCs were used to stabilize the oil-in-water (o/w) Pickering emulsion. Besides their excellent catalytic activity and recycling ability in a variety of oil phases, ZCPOPs–Au NCs possess unpredictable catalytic activity and exhibit mimicking properties of horseradish peroxidase. Particularly, the cascade reaction is well achieved using a metal catalyst and a biocatalyst at the oil–water interface. The result showed that such a combination of chemo- and biocatalysis improved the catalytic yield more than two times compared with that of sole metal catalysis. This study opened a new avenue to design nanomaterials using the combination of chemo- and biocatalysis in a Pickering emulsion system for multistep syntheses.

A robust chemo- and biocatalytic cascade PIC with a recovery catalyst and a separation product was developed. The results groundbreakingly highlighted the preliminary applications of artificial enzymes and bio-enzymes in a one-pot cascade PIC.     

固相萃取-高效液相色谱法测定水中呋喃丹含量的不确定度评定

采用固相萃取-高效液相色谱法测定水中呋喃丹浓度,对测量结果的不确定度进行了评定。根据《测量不确定度评定与表示(》JJF 1059-1999)中有关规定,建立呋喃丹不确定度分析数学模型。结果表明,该方法测量结果不确定度的主要来源为标准溶液的配制、定容和重复性测试,当水样中呋喃丹的浓度为0.03 mg/L时,扩展不确定度为0.0044 mg/L(k=2)。     

Synthesis of Some Novel Methoxyacrylates and Their Biological Activities

Methoxyacrylate fungicides which came from natural product have an excellent,broad spectrum of activities, highly safety and selective to target because of their unique mode of action-inhibit mitochonidrial respiration by blocking electron transfer between cytochrome b and cytochrome c₁, so more attention was paid by many companies in agrochemicals and at least 300 patents was applied until now. For the action of blocking electron transfer,some one suggests this kind of chemicals should not only work on fungi,but also on insects (sure) and weeds. Up to now,no herbicidal activity was reported. So the following compounds Ⅰ (X=O,NR,in patent:X=O,S rarely X=N) were designed and synthesized by introduced some fragment of herbicide.

水辅助的氢转移对一种特殊的亚胺加成物生成过程的重要影响

在笔者实验室发表于J.Org.Chem.的论文(本文参考文献[12])中提出的芳香胺离子与腺苷反应所得到非常特殊的亚胺加成物的生成机理指出,腺嘌呤对4-联苯胺离子中对位碳原子初始进攻是得到非常特殊的亚胺加成物的最可行生成路径,而腺嘌呤对4-联苯胺离子中邻位碳原子初始进攻的其它3个反应路径,由于涉及几个氢转移过程的反应的能垒较高,所以,理论上讲,它们是不能发生的.但是,研究发现,如果在这些氢转移过程中有水作为媒介,它们的能垒会大大的降低,从而可能使腺嘌呤对4-联苯胺离子中邻位碳原子初始进攻的3个反应路径成为对对位碳原子初始进攻路径的竞争性反应路径.

The spin $^{\bf c}$ Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle

We study the asymptotic of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle. As application, we get a simple proof of the main result of Guillemin–Uribe [13, Theorem 2], which was originally proved by using the analysis of Toeplitz operators of Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin [10].
