Crystal structures and thermal decomposition mechanism of four lanthanide complexes with halogen-benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

This paper describes syntheses and structure determination of four lanthanide complexes [Nd(2-Cl-4-FBA) 3 phen] 2 (1, 2-Cl-4-FBA = 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), [Ln(2,5-DClBA) 3 phen] 2 (Ln = Sm(2) and Tb(3), 2,5-DClBA = 2,5-dichlorobenzoate) and [Sm(2-Cl-4,5-DFBA) 3 (phen)(H 2 O)] 2 (4, (2-Cl-4,5-DFBA = 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzo- ate). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and ultraviolet spectra, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. In the molecular structures of 1 4, two Ln 3+ ions are linked by four carboxyl groups, with two of them in a bridging bidentate mode and the other two in a bridging-chelating tridentate mode, forming four binuclear molecules. In addition, each Ln 3+ ion is also chelated to one phen molecule and one carboxyl group in the complexes, except each Sm 3+ ion in 4 which is bonded to one carboxyl group by unidentate mode and one H 2 O molecule. There are two different coordination polyhedrons for each Nd 3+ ion in the two similar molecular structures of 1 and they are a distorted monocapped square antiprismatic and a distorted tricapped triangular prism conformation, respectively. The coordination polyhedron for each Ln 3+ ion in 2 4 is a nine-coordinated distorted mono-capped square antiprismatic conformation. The complex 3 exhibits green luminescence under the radiation of UV light. The thermal decomposition behaviors of the complexes have been discussed by simultaneous TG/DSC-FTIR technique. The 3D surface graphs for the FTIR spectra of the evolved gases were recorded and the gaseous products were identified by the typical IR spectra obtained at different temperatures from the 3D surface graphs. Meanwhile, we discussed the nonisothermal kinetics of 1 4 by the integral isoconversional non-linear (NL-INT) method.     

混合气气氛下纸浆黑液和钙混合催化剂的催化气化特性

采用热重法在单一和混合催化剂(即3%钙和5%钠-黑液单-催化剂及一种3%钙和5%钠-黑液混合催化剂),温度750℃～950℃及常压条件下对三种高变质无烟煤(福建龙岩、丰海和尤溪煤)研究了混合气气化过程中对碳转化率、气化反应速率及有害污染含硫气体相对量的催化效应.纸浆黑液和钙混合催化剂具有两者的的协同作用,在混合气气化过程中,3%钙和5%钠-黑液混合催化剂可极大地增加碳转化率和气化反应速率系由于该混合催化剂碱性表面化合物[-COM]、[-CO2M]及可交换的钙酚盐和羧酸钙[(-COO)2Ca]的存在加速了反应C 2CO2=2CO和C H2O→CO H2的结果,且这一催化作用比水蒸气气化过程更强烈.通过添加碳酸钙于纸浆黑液催化剂的气化方法,除去促进催化剂功效和增加碳转化率以外,也可达到有效的脱硫作用,但是这一较好的操作温度需低于900℃.

Sodium/lithium 3d transition metalates for chemisorption of gaseous pollutants: a review

Sodium/lithium transition metalates have found tremendous potential as cathode materials for Na/Li batteries. These metalates have acid-base and redox characteristics, which could be utilized for the chemisorption of gaseous pollutants. Their use was focused mainly on CO₂ gas chemisorption at elevated temperatures. In recent years, these materials have found interesting applications in the chemisorption of CO, NO, SO₂, and H₂S gases. Some of these alkali ceramics have shown tremendous potential for the wet-oxidative removal of acidic gases, even in ambient conditions. The review presents an up-to-date account of alkali ceramics of 3d transition metals for the chemisorption of toxic gases, including CO₂, CO, NO, SO₂, and H₂S. To the best of our knowledge, Na/Li 3d transition metalates have never been reviewed in the context of air decontamination, which needs to be presented to the readers for air purification applications.     

Refractive index and derived molecular properties of some gases determined by dispersive fourier transform spectroscopy (DFTS) in the visible wave number range

Dispersive Fourier transform spectroscopy (DFTS) is used to determine the dispersion of the real refractive indexn() of the gases CH₄, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈ and cyclo-C₃H₆ in the visible wave number range. Some molecular properties, e.g. oscillator strength sums, are derived from these measurements and compared with available data of literature.     

Supported catalysts for simultaneous removal of SO2, NOx,and Hg0 from industrial exhaust gases: A review

The simultaneous removal of SO₂, NO_x and Hg⁰ from industrial exhaust flue gas has drawn worldwide attention in recent years. A particularly attractive technique is selective catalytic reduction, which effectively removes SO₂, NO_x and Hg⁰ at low temperatures. This paper first reviews the simultaneous removal of SO₂, NO_x and Hg⁰ by unsupported and supported catalysts. It then describes and compares the research progress of various carriers, eg., carbon-based materials, metal oxides, silica, molecular sieves, metal-organic frameworks, and pillared interlayered clays, in the simultaneous removal of SO₂, NO_x and Hg⁰. The effects of flue-gas components (such as O₂, NH₃, HCl, H₂O, SO₂, NO, and Hg⁰) on the removal of SO₂, NO_x, and Hg⁰ are discussed comprehensively and systematically. After summarizing the pollutant-removal mechanism, the review discusses future developments in the simultaneous removal of SO₂, NO_x and Hg⁰ by catalysts.     

Immobilized Nanomaterials for Environmental Applications

Nanomaterials (NMs) have been extensively used in several environmental applications; however, their widespread dissemination at full scale is hindered by difficulties keeping them active in engineered systems. Thus, several strategies to immobilize NMs for their environmental utilization have been established and are described in the present review, emphasizing their role in the production of renewable energies, the removal of priority pollutants, as well as greenhouse gases, from industrial streams, by both biological and physicochemical processes. The challenges to optimize the application of immobilized NMs and the relevant research topics to consider in future research are also presented to encourage the scientific community to respond to current needs.
