Dried Biomass of Activated Sludge for Cu2+ Adsorption: Behaviors and Mechanisms

Activated sludge was tested for its ability to remove Cu²⁺ from aqueous solution. The effects of various experimental parameters (initial pH, initial Cu²⁺ concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature) on Cu²⁺ adsorption were evaluated. The Langmuir isotherm model well described the adsorption of Cu²⁺ onto activated sludge. The pseudo-second-order kinetic equation was appropriate for describing the kinetic performance of the sorption. Furthermore, Webber–Morris models indicated that the sorption of Cu²⁺ was generally found to involve with the intraparticle diffusion process. Parameters of adsorption thermodynamic suggested that the interaction of Cu²⁺ adsorbed by sludge was spontaneous and exothermic. Activated sludge was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and results showed that active groups such as –OH, –COOH, –NH₂ were involved in Cu²⁺ adsorption. Zeta potential analysis demonstrated inner-sphere adsorption for Cu²⁺ adsorption on sludge.

分子动力学模拟研究点突变(Met108→Leu108)对树胶醛糖结合蛋白与配体作用的影响

为了研究点突变(Met108→Leu108)对树胶醛糖结合蛋白(ABP)与配体结合能力的影响,对ABP、ABP结合树胶醛糖复合物及ABP结合半乳糖复合物以及它们各自的突变体分别进行60 ns的分子动力学模拟.模拟结果表明,108号残基突变前后,电子等排体的两个氨基酸残基,使蛋白与配体间的范德华相互作用发生明显变化,同时导致蛋白的内部运动也发生变化,进而影响蛋白与配体的相互作用.进一步分析表明,突变前后的蛋白构象变化都趋向于两个结构域张开,而与配体的结合可减缓张开程度.     

大同烟煤增压富氧燃烧过程中硫、氯和氟的析出特性

利用高压热重结合傅里叶红外研究了大同烟煤在增压富氧燃烧过程中硫、氯和氟的释放行为,主要考察压力对其析出特性的影响。实验结果表明,压力的改变对煤中硫、氯和氟的迁移转化均有显著影响。随着压力的升高,黄铁矿硫向COS等中间产物的转化率逐渐增加,导致SO2的收率逐步上升,但在3 MPa时,燃煤SO2收率却有所降低。此外,压力升高后反应气氛中CO分压的增加促进了COS的生成,导致其收率逐渐上升。因为煤中有机氯析出和转化与挥发分的释放密切相关,所以高压下挥发分释放量的增加使得煤中有更多的有机氯析出并转化为HCl,而且压力升高后,挥发分燃烧速率和温度的升高促进了无机氟化物分解,HF生成量相应增加。此外,高压下水解反应的强化也提高了HF的收率。     

固定床中纤维素热解及其焦油裂解机理研究

研究了500~900℃条件下微晶纤维素在固定床中的热解过程;分别采用气质联用(GC-MS)和气相色谱分析了热解过程中生成的焦油和不可凝气体。结果表明,随热解温度升高,焦油产率减少、气体产率升高、焦产率略微下降,同时CO、CH4和H2的产率明显升高,而CO2的产率变化不明显。焦油主要由二次反应产生,不可凝气体则由一次热解产物和二次热解产物共同产生。使用Gaussian 09软件对热解过程进行了模拟,发现纤维素分子在热解过程中首先分解为纤维素单体,然后纤维素单体上的羟基官能团优先脱除,生成的中间产物重组生成焦油。随热解温度升高,焦油中醚、醇、酸等化合物分解成自由基,自由基间发生重组、结合,导致烯烃和炔烃增多以及不可凝气体含量的升高。     

FT-IR和SEM用于煤阶对煤催化加氢气化影响的研究

基于加压固定床反应器研究了不同煤阶的煤催化加氢气化效果,对比了煤阶对催化剂添加量、甲烷释放速率以及产品气组成的影响。原煤及气化残渣采用FT-IR和SEM进行表征分析。研究结果表明,不添加催化剂情况下,随着煤阶的升高原煤气化反应性降低,低阶煤的甲烷释放分为两个阶段;加入催化剂之后,3种煤中以神府烟煤的反应性最好,遵义无烟煤和云南褐煤反应性较差。SEM和FT-IR表征结果表明,高阶煤颗粒表面更加光滑、煤结构致密,而煤中的脂肪族结构以及芳香结构振动峰强度随煤阶的降低而升高,催化剂的加入使得脂肪结构吸收峰明显加强。这些差异导致不同煤样催化加氢气化反应活性不同。     

Determination of cysteine,homocysteine, cystine,and homocystine in biological fluids by HPLC using fluorosurfactant‐capped gold nanoparticles as postcolumn colorimetric reagents

We have demonstrated for the first time the suitability of fluorosurfactant‐capped spherical gold nanoparticles as HPLC postcolumn colorimetric reagents for the direct assay of cysteine, homocysteine, cystine, and homocystine. The success of this work was based on the use of an on‐line tris(2‐carboxyethyl)phosphine reduction column for cystine and homocystine. Several parameters affecting the separation efficiency and the postcolumn colorimetric detection were thoroughly investigated. Under the optimized conditions, cysteine, homocysteine, cystine, and homocystine in human urine and plasma samples were determined. Detection limits for cysteine, homocysteine, cystine, and homocystine ranged from 0.16–0.49 μM. The accuracy in terms of recoveries ranged between 94.0–102.1%. This proposed method was rapid, inexpensive, and simple.     

Non-denaturating isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis for uranium–protein complexes quantitative analysis with LA-ICP MS

A non-denaturating isoelectric focusing (ND-IEF) gel electrophoresis protocol has been developed to study and identify uranium (U)–protein complexes with laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The ND-IEF-LA-ICP MS methodology set-up was initiated using in vitro U–protein complex standards (i.e., U–bovine serum albumin and U–transferrin) allowing the assessment of U recovery to 64.4?±?0.4 %. This methodology enabled the quantification of U–protein complexes at 9.03?±?0.23, 15.27?±?0.36, and 177.31?±?25.51 nmol U L^?1 in digestive gland cytosols of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, exposed respectively to 0, 0.12, and 2.5 μmol of waterborne depleted U L^?1 during 10 days. ND-IEF-LA-ICP MS limit of detection was 19.3 pmol U L^?1. Elemental ICP MS signals obtained both in ND-IEF electropherograms and in size exclusion chromatograms of in vivo U–protein complexes revealed interactions between U- and Fe- and Cu-proteins. Moreover, three proteins (hemocyanin, pseudohemocyanin-2, and arginine kinase) out of 42 were identified as potential uranium targets in waterborne-exposed crayfish cytosols by microbore reversed phase chromatography coupled to molecular mass spectrometry (µRPC-ESI-MS/MS) after ND-IEF separation.

Phosphorescent Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes That Contain Substituted 2‐Acetylbenzo[b]thiophen‐3‐olate Ligand for Red Organic Light‐Emitting Devices

We report the synthesis of a new class of thermally stable and strongly luminescent cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes 1 – 6 , which contain the 2‐acetylbenzo[b]thiophene‐3‐olate (bt) ligand, and their application in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). These heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes with bt as the ancillary ligand have a decomposition temperature that is 10–20 % higher and lower emission self‐quenching constants than those of their corresponding complexes with acetylacetonate (acac). The luminescent color of these iridium(III) complexes could be fine‐tuned from orange (e.g., 2‐phenyl‐6‐(trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]thiazole (cf₃bta) for 4 ) to pure red (e.g., lpt (Hlpt=4‐methyl‐2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)quinolone) for 6 ) by varying the cyclometalating ligands (C‐deprotonated C^N). In particular, highly efficient OLEDs based on 6 as dopant (emitter) and 1,3‐bis(carbazol‐9‐yl)benzene (mCP) as host that exhibit stable red emission over a wide range of brightness with CIE chromaticity coordinates of (0.67, 0.33) well matched to the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard have been fabricated along with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) and current efficiency of 9 % and 10 cd A^?1, respectively. A further 50 % increase in EQE (>13 %) by replacing mCP with bis[4‐(6H‐indolo[2,3‐b]quinoxalin‐6‐yl)phenyl]diphenylsilane (BIQS) as host for 6 in the red OLED is demonstrated. The performance of OLEDs fabricated with 6 (i.e., [(lpt)₂Ir(bt)]) was comparable to that of the analogous iridium(III) complex that bore acac (i.e., [(lpt)₂Ir(acac)]; 6 a in this work) [Adv. Mater.­ 2011 , 23, 2981] fabricated under similar conditions. By using ntt (Hnnt=3‐hydroxynaphtho[2,3‐b]thiophen‐2‐yl)(thiophen‐2‐yl)methanone) ligand, a substituted derivative of bt, the [(cf₃bta)₂Ir(ntt)] was prepared and found to display deep red emission at around 700 nm with a quantum yield of 12 % in mCP thin film.
