Antioxidant activity of hydro distillation water residues from Rosmarinus officinalis L. leaves determined by DPPH assays

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a perennial herb with an intensive aromatic flavor. Its most important chemical constituents are essential oils (e.g., 1,8-cineole and camphor) and antioxidants (e.g., carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid). The common methods to extract the essential oil of rosemary are steam or hydro distillation. The aim of this work is to investigate the residual antioxidants after hydro distillation, especially rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. For this purpose, the hydro distillation water residues were analyzed by HPLC-UV. Moreover, the influence of the extraction duration on the concentration of the antioxidants was investigated. Also, the residual amount of these compounds in the leaves was examined. The total antioxidant activity of the extracts and of the pure compounds was determined by DPPH assays. It is shown that after 2.5 h of hydro distillation the amount of rosmarinic acid and the antioxidant activity in the water residue reaches a maximum value. In addition, the yield and the quality of the essential oil were investigated to draw a comparison between steam and hydro distillations of Moroccan rosemary leaves.     

Simultaneous distillation-extraction of high-value volatile compounds from Cistus ladanifer L

The present paper describes a procedure to isolate volatiles from rock-rose (Cistus ladanifer L.) using simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE). High-value volatile compounds (HVVC) were selected and the influence of the extraction conditions investigated. The effect of the solvent nature and extraction time on SDE efficiency was studied. The best performance was achieved with pentane in 1 h operation. The extraction efficiencies ranged from 65% to 85% and the repeatability varied between 4% and 6% (as a CV%).The C. ladanifer SDE extracts were analysed by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The HS-SPME sampling conditions such as fiber coating, temperature, ionic strength and exposure time were optimized. The best results were achieved with an 85 μm polyacrylate fiber for a 60 min headspace extraction at 40 °C with 20% (w/v) of NaCl. For optimized conditions the recovery was in average higher than 90% for all compounds and the intermediate precision ranged from 4 to 9% (as CV %). The volatiles α-pinene (22.2 mg g⁻¹ of extract), 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone (6.1 mg g⁻¹ of extract), borneol (3.0 mg g⁻¹ of extract) and bornyl acetate (3.9 mg g⁻¹ of extract) were identified in the SDE extracts obtained from the fresh plant material.     

水蒸汽对PtSn／Al2O3催化剂结构及反应性能的影响

比较研究了Ａｌ２Ｏ３负载的铂及ＰｔＳｎ催化剂在氮气及水蒸汽稀释条件下的丙烷脱氢性能,并利用ＸＰＳ及氢脉冲吸附对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,水蒸汽可促使Ｐｔ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３催化剂的铂晶粒烧结。与在氮气氛中相比,在水蒸汽存在下反应显著提高了Ｐｔ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３的丙烷转化率,却降低了丙烯的选择性。另一方面,水蒸汽可调变ＰｔＳｎ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３催化剂的结构,破坏了ＰｔＳｎ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３中与锡相互作用的铂簇团结构。从而导     

First-principles investigations of the Ni3Sn alloy at steam reforming conditions

The structure and surface composition of a Ni₃Sn alloy at conditions relevant for the steam reforming reaction was investigated using density functional theory calculations. Both the flat Ni₃Sn(0 0 0 1) surface and a surface with steps in the closed packed direction [1 0  0]were considered. The adsorption geometries and energies of the species CO, C, OH and H were calculated. Chemical potentials were used to map out which adsorbates are on the surface under varying conditions. It was found that adsorbates preferably bind to Ni as nearest neighbor with Sn as second-nearest neighbor. The binding energy is slightly stronger than on pure Ni. Adsorbate binding to Sn was found to be very unfavorable. Binding free energies indicate that at high temperature the alloy surface will be predominantly covered by CO and C, and at low temperatures one may find H and almost no OH. Even though the nominal composition of the investigated alloy is Ni₃Sn, the surface composition may differ significantly depending on temperature and pressure of the gas phase. This effect was investigated by calculating segregation energies both in the absence and in the presence of adsorbates. For the flat surface, it was found that only the bulk termination is present under relevant conditions. In contrast, it was found that for steps preferential adsorption of CO and C on Ni sites may lead to adsorption-induced segregation at temperatures below 400 °C. When taking segregation into account, the most stable Ni₃Sn surfaces will not bind CO or C at the same condition that Ni does. This is in excellent agreement with the previously proven ability of Ni-Sn alloys to inhibit graphite formation.

镁铝混合氧化物负载镍催化剂的制备及在液化石油气低温重整反应中的催化性能

采用共沉淀-浸渍法制备了不同Ni 含量的 Ni/Mg(Al)O 催化剂并用于液化石油气(LPG)的低温水蒸气重整反应. X 射线衍射和程序升温还原结果表明, 在 800 ℃焙烧的 Ni/Mg(Al)O 催化剂中, NiO 与 MgO 反应生成 Mg-Ni-O 固溶体, 还原后形成金属 Ni 纳米颗粒. 详细研究了 Ni 含量(质量分数)、反应温度和水/碳摩尔比(n_H2O/n_C) 等对催化剂性能的影响. 实验结果表明, 15%Ni/Mg(Al)O 催化剂对 LPG 低温重整反应具有最佳的催化性能. 提高反应温度能显著提高 Ni/Mg(Al)O 催化剂的催化性能. 当n_H2O/n_C=2时, 在400~500 ℃的温度范围使LPG完全转化的最大反应空速从 28900 mL·h^-1·g^-1Cat提高到 86800 mL·h^-1·g^-1Cat. 适当增大水/碳摩尔比有利于 LPG 转化为小分子气体, 但在 LPG 摩尔流量不变的情况下, 反应气中水含量过高会导致 LPG 转化率降低. 反应后催化剂的X射线衍射谱(XRD)和热重分析(TG)结果表明, Ni/Mg(Al)O催化剂优良的催化活性和反应稳定性可归因于催化剂表面Ni晶粒较高的稳定性和抗积炭性能.

Graphite dust resuspension in an HTR-10 steam generator

Graphite dust has an important effect on the safety of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTR). The flow field in the steam generator was studied by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, with the results indicating that the friction velocity in the windward and the leeward of the heat transfer tubes is relatively low and is higher at the sides. Further analysis of the resuspension of graphite dust indicates that the resuspension fraction reaches nearly zero for particles with a diameter less than 1 μm, whereas it will increases as the helium velocity in the steam generator increases for particle size larger than 1 μm. Moreover, the resuspension fraction increases as the particle size increases. The results also indicate that resuspension of the particles with sizes larger than 1 μm exhibited obvious differences in different parts of the steam generator.

水蒸汽蒸馏条件下鱼腥草中癸酰乙醛的高效提取及质谱定性

根据质谱学规律,剖析了在电子轰击下中药材鱼腥草中最关键的抗菌成分鱼腥草素(癸酰乙醛)的离子形成机理:癸酰乙醛的分子中存在两个-C=O,处于端位上的-C=O活性远大于-CH3,易失去H2O(M+-18)、CO(M+-28)等基团,产生较强的m/z180、170等离子碎片,此外,还易失去H2O+H2O(M+-36)、H2O+CO(M+-46)、CO+CO(M+-56)等基团,产生m/z162、152、142等离子碎片,这同实验中得到的癸酰乙醛质谱图完全吻合,纠正了文献中对癸酰乙醛的错误定性。在此基础上采用常规、Ar气保护和减压三种水蒸汽蒸馏方式提取鱼腥草挥发油,发现在惰性气氛或较低温度下有利于癸酰乙醛的提取,与常规水蒸汽蒸馏条件相比,Ar气保护下癸酰乙醛的含量从0.03%提高至0.53%,而减压条件下癸酰乙醛的溶出效率进一步提高至3.37%。研究表明常规水蒸汽蒸馏条件下癸酰乙醛易氧化分解是得到较少癸酰乙醛的根本原因。
