STUDIES ON MACROPOROUS POLYMER SUPPORTED ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION CATALYSTS

The supported Rh-DIOP complexes were prepared through functionalization of several macroporous polystyrene resins nd were evaluated by the hydrogenation of acetamidocinnamic acid in EtOH.The pore effect of the matrixes was discussed.     

On the Criteria of Instability for Electrochemical Systems

Both cyclic-voltammetry-based and impedance-based experimental criteria that have been developed recently for the oscillatory electrochemical systems are critically appraised with two typical categories of oscillators.Consistent conclusions can be drawn by the two criteria for the category of oscillators that involve the coupling of charge transfer mainly with surface steps(e.g.ad-and desorption)such as in the electrooxidation of C1 organic molecules.Whereas,impedance-based criterion is not applicable to the category of oscillators that involve the coupling of charge transfer mainly with mass transfer(e.g.diffusion and convection) such as in the Fe(CN)6^3- reduction accompanying periodic hydrogen evolution.The reason is that the negative impedance cannot include the feedback information of convection mass transfer induced by the hydrogen evolution.However,both positive and negative nonlinear feedbacks,i.e., the diffusion-limited depletion and convection-enhanced replenishment of the Fe(CN)6^3- surface concentration,that coexist between the bistability,i.e.,Fe(CN)6^3- reduction with and without hydrogen evolution at lower and higher potential sides respectively,are all reflected in the crossed cyclic voltammogram(CCV).It can be concluded that the voltammetry-based criterion(in time domain)is more intuitive,less time-consuming and has a wider range of applications than the impedancebased one (in frequency domain).     

STUDIES ON THE SORPTION OF MACROPOROUS PHOSPHONIC ACID RESIN FOR LANTHANUM

The influences of Medium pH,sorption temperature,sorption time,etc.on the sorption capacity of macroporous phosphonic acid resin for La^3+ were determined.The sorption rate constant was k298=7.64×10^-5 s^-1. The complex ratio of phosphonic groups of the resin to La^3+ was 3:1.The basic sorption parameters were determined. The sorption mechanism of macroporous phosphonic acid resin for La^3+ was examined by chemical analysis and IR-spectrometry.     

CONDUCTIVITY METHOD APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF INTERACTION BETWEEN ADSORBENT AND ADSORBATE I．ADSORPTION OF LOW CONCENYRATION OF FREE ACID BY REGENERABLE CHITIN

The adsorption of low concentration of free acid by regenerable chitin is followed by electric conductance determination.The effect of acid concentratioin,content of functioinal amino groups,and ionic strength on adsorption was discussed.Experimental results indicate that the active centre of regenerable chitin is the free amino groups on ist surface ,and that the rate of adsorption of free acid was found to be affected by two factors:the interaction between the adsorbent and the adsorbate in solution and that between the adsorbate molecules or ions in solution.     

Carbon Nanotubes Grown on Sepiolite as Catalyst Carrier

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene at 750℃ over sepiolite powder,which was treated with aqueous cobalt nitrate. It is expected that the composite with high specific area will have high capacity of hydrogen storage.
