单层石墨相氮化碳负载Pt4团簇吸附O2的第一性理论研究

采用第一性原理密度泛函理论结合周期性平板模型模拟研究了Pt₄团簇吸附单层石墨相氮化碳(g-C₃N₄)的几何结构和电子性质,以及氧气在其表面上的吸附行为。同时,对比分析了氧气在纯净的石墨相氮化碳和Pt₄团簇上的吸附行为。计算结果表明, Pt₄团簇吸附在3-s-三嗪环石墨相氮化碳表面,并与四个边缘氮原子成键,形成两个六元环时为最稳定构型。Pt₄团簇倾向于吸附在三嗪环石墨相氮化碳的空位并与邻近三个氮原子成键。由于Pt与N原子较强的杂化作用,以及金属与底物之间较多电子转移增强了Pt₄团簇吸附g-C₃N₄的稳定性。另外,对比分析了氧气在纯净的g-C₃N₄和金属吸附的g-C₃N₄上吸附行为,发现金属原子的加入促进了电子转移,同时拉长了O―O键长。Pt₄吸附3-s-三嗪环g-C₃N₄比Pt₄吸附三嗪环g-C₃N₄表现出微弱的优势,表现出明显的基底扭曲以及较大的吸附能。这些结果表明,化学吸附通过调节电子结构和表面性质增强催化性能的较好方法。     

介孔炭表面性质对吸附去除低浓度氨性能的影响

室内环境中低浓度氨污染普遍存在,影响人的身体健康,而消除这些低浓度的氨相对困难。本文报道了一种适用于低浓度氨吸附去除的介孔炭材料,其性能明显优于经硝酸处理的活性炭材料。该介孔炭采用磷酸铝为硬模板制备,炭表面存在大量含氧官能团,研究显示炭表面羧基和内酯基在吸附氨过程中发挥着重要作用,它们作为酸性中心与氨发生化学作用,可以有效地捕获空气中低浓度的氨污染物。     

In-Au(111)和Ir-Au(111)合金表面的性质及其对巴豆醛的吸附比较

采用密度泛函理论研究了M（M=In,Ir）原子修饰的M-Au（111）合金表面的稳定性,并选其最优模型探讨了合金表面的活性及其对巴豆醛的吸附。合金的几何构型、形成能和结合能等性质表明,In-Au（111）面的稳定性随In原子的间距增大而提高,Ir-Au（111）面的稳定性随Ir原子的间距增大而降低。对于巴豆醛在MAu（111）面上的吸附,当其通过C＝O吸附于合金表面的Top_M位时,吸附能最大,吸附构型最稳定。从巴豆醛的结构变化、态密度、差分电荷密度以及Mulliken电荷布居等分析可以看出,稳定吸附构型的巴豆醛分子形变较大,电荷转移明显。其中,位于-7.04 eV至费米能级处的p、d轨道杂化,对体系的吸附具有重要贡献。分析比较In-Au（111）面与Ir-Au（111）面,发现后者的配体效应更佳,不仅具有更高的稳定性和活性,而且对于巴豆醛具有更强的吸附力。此外,相比于改性前的Au（111）面,M原子的修饰明显提升了金属表面的稳定性及吸附能力。     

Trichloroacetic Acid Removal by a Reductive Spherical Cellulose Adsorbent

A novel spherical cellulose adsorbent with amide and sulphinate groups was used for a first reduction of trichloroacetic acid(TCAA) and a subsequent adsorption of generated species, haloacetic acids. The removal mechanism involved TCAA reduction by sulphinate groups and the adsorption of the haloacetic acids through electrostatic interaction with amide group. Investigation of product formation and subsequent disappearance reveals that the reduction reactions proceed via sequential hydrogenolysis, and transform to acetate ultimately. Adsorption of haloacetic acids was ascertained by low chloride mass balances(89.3%) and carbon mass balances(75.1%) in solution. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for TCAA degradation was (0.93±0.12) h^-1. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pH value on the reduction and adsorption process. The results show that the reduction of TCAA by sulphinate groups requires higher pH values while the electrostatic attraction of haloacetic acids by amino group is favorable in more acidic media.     

Gas-assisted magnetic separation for the purification of proteins in batch systems

In this paper, gas-assisted magnetic separation (GAMS), a technique that combines magnetic separation with flotation, was investigated for the potential large-scale separation of proteins. The GAMS process includes adsorption of target proteins and magnetic separation to recover protein-loaded magnetic particles from the dilute biosuspension with the assistance of bubbles. Microsized ethylenediamine-functionalized poly(glycidyl methacrylate) superparamagnetic microspheres (MPMs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used as a model system. The feasibility of GAMS for capturing BSA-loaded MPMs from an appropriate medium was shown. High recovery of BSA-loaded MPMs was obtained by simple adjustment of the initial solution pH without extra detergents and antifoaming agents. The GAMS conditions were consistent with the adsorption conditions, and no proteins were desorbed from the MPMs during this process. Under the optimal conditions, the separation rate and recovery percentage reached 410 mL/min and 98% in 0.61 min, respectively. Conformational changes of BSA during the GAMS process were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectrometry.     

水对锂交换低硅铝比八面沸石吸附性能的影响

研究了变压吸附空气分离制氧吸附剂——锂交换低硅铝比八面沸石LiLSX中残留水及从外部引入的水对吸附性能的影响.研究表明，在水合LiLSX经脱附后，当残留的水分子数目为0～32（个分子/晶胞）时， N2或O2的吸附量下降显著.原因是N2和O2的吸附主要依赖于处在SIII位置的32个锂离子.当水分子与SIII位置的Li＋结合时，就会阻碍N2或O2的吸附.而从外部引入的水分子与脱附残留的水分子相比，在相同水含量时对吸附量的影响较小，这是由于吸附位置的不均匀性以及水分子在沸石中的扩散行为所引起.在水扩散进入LiLSX内部的过程中，一部分水分子可以吸附在能量较低的位置上而不是吸附到最强的SIII位置上.     

Microwave‐synthesized Pepper Peduncle Carbon,Characterization, and Its Adsorption Studies

Adsorption on activated carbon is an efficient method for the removal of toxic dyes. However, since commercially available charcoal is quite expensive, activated carbon obtained from agricultural by‐products may serve as a good replacement. In this study, activated carbon was prepared from pepper peduncle, an agricultural waste product, by microwave activation. The synthesized carbon was characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis techniques. It was then used for the adsorption of methylene blue dye from an aqueous solution, which was studied as a function of the dye concentration, contact time, and temperature. The adsorption data were fitted to Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption kinetics was studied by employing first‐ and second‐order kinetic models, and it was found that the adsorption of methylene blue on the synthesized activated carbon follows a second‐order kinetic model. Effect of temperature on the adsorption process was studied, and the thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy, change in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of adsorption were calculated on the basis of the absolute theory of reaction rate expressions. About 99.5–91.8% of the dye was removed for an initial dye concentration in the range 20–100 mg/g in 1 h. Thus the synthesized activated carbon was found to be very efficient in adsorbing the dye.     

Ultrasonic assisted arsenate adsorption on solvothermally synthesized calcite modified by goethite, α-MnO2 and goethite/α-MnO2

A highly porous calcium carbonate (calcite; sorbent 1) was used as a support for modification with α-FeOOH (calcite/goethite; sorbent 2), α-MnO₂ (calcite/α-MnO₂; sorbent 3) and α-FeOOH/α-MnO₂ (calcite/goethite/α-MnO₂; sorbent 4) in order to obtain a cheap hybrid materials for simple and effective arsenate removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption ability of synthesized adsorbents was studied as a function of functionalization methods, pH, contact time, temperature and ultrasonic treatment. Comparison of the adsorptive effectiveness of synthesized adsorbents for arsenate removal, under ultrasound treatment and classical stirring method, has shown better performance of the former one reaching maximum adsorption capacities of 1.73, 21.00, 10.36 and 41.94 mg g⁻¹, for sorbents 1–4, respectively. Visual MINTEQ equilibrium speciation modeling was used for prediction of pH and interfering ion influences on arsenate adsorption.     

第一性原理计算Ni原子吸附在Al(111)表面原子结构和电子态

利用密度泛函理论和广义梯度近似研究镍吸附在Al(111)表面。在覆盖率为0.25ML下,分析了Ni吸附在Al(111)表面的面心立方洞位、六角密排洞位、顶位和桥位四个高对称位的原子结构和吸附能。比较不同高对称位的吸附能发现,六角密排洞位的吸附能最大,是5.76 eV,是最稳定的吸附位置。详细讨论了两个最低能量结构-三重洞位的电子结构、功函数、表面偶极距和Ni-Al键的特性。在费米能级附近,Ni-3d和Al-3s,3p轨道产生杂化,形成金属间化合键。由于吸附导致双金属体系表面偶极距和功函数的变化。我们发现：Ni原子与Al(111)表面原子间成建主要是共价键,没有表现出明显的静电荷跃迁,相应的产生非常小的表面偶极距。与面心立方洞位相比,六角密排洞位在费米能级附近产生较低的态密度,在键态附近产生较大的杂化。
