Kinetics of oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide: Role of hydroperoxyl radicals

A kinetic study of the initiated oxidation of benzyl alcohol and cumene by molecular oxygen was performed. The oxidation rate was more enhanced with N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in the case of cumene than that of benzyl alcohol. HOOH inhibits cumene oxidation and does not affect the rate of oxidation of benzyl alcohol. It was shown that termination chain reactions of phthalimid-N-oxyl radicals (PINO^•) does not occur with RОО^• and proceeds with HOO^•. A kinetic scheme of the process and an equation describing the kinetics of oxidation of benzyl alcohol in the presence of NHPI are proposed. Using the PM7 method, the thermodynamic characteristics of elementary steps of oxidation explaining the obtained results were calculated.     

Copper-cobalt Bimetallic Oxides-doped Alumina Hollow Spheres:a Highly Efficient Catalyst for Epoxidation of Styrene

Copper-cobalt bimetallic oxides-doped alumina hollow spheres(CuCo/AHS)were labricatcd through the sacrificial carbonaceous template strategy.The dependence of the physicochemical properties and morphologies of CuCo/AHS on the composition of copper and cobalt in CuxCoy/AHS(x/y=9/1,7/3,5/5,and 3/7)was characterized bv means of X-ray powder diffraction,nitrogen physisorption,atomic adsorption spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Among these catalysts, Cu7-Co3/AHS catalyst exhibited perfect hollow sphere structure,thin wall,and big pore size.The calcined catalysts were examined for the epoxidation of styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant.Compared with the monometallic counterparts(Cu/AHS and Co/AHS)and other CuxCoy/AHS catalysts,Cu7Co3/AHS catalyst showed higher performance,yielding a styrene conversion of 64.6% with 93.0% selectivity toward styrene oxide.In addition,the strong interaction of Cu^2+or Co^2+ with AHS ensured good stability after four consecutive reactions.     

Synergetic promotion of Ba, Cs and Cl to silver supported catalyst for butadiene epoxidation

Summary Ag/-Al₂O₃ catalysts promoted by Ba, Cs and Cl were prepared and evaluated for butadiene epoxidation. The results indicated that Cs could enhance butadiene conversion, Cl was favorable for improving the selectivity to vinyloxirane (VO), and Ba probably plays an important role for catalyst stability during the long time on stream operation.     

Dynamic headspace liquid-phase microextraction of alcohols

A method was developed using dynamic headspace liquid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for extraction and determination of 9 alcohols from water samples. Four different solvents, hexyl acetate, n-octanol, o-xylene and n-decane were studied as extractants. The analytes were extracted using 0.8 microl of n-octanol from the headspace of a 2 ml sample solution. The effect of sampling volume, solvent volume, sample temperature, syringe plunger withdrawal rate and ionic strength of the solution on the extraction performance were studied. A semiautomated system including a variable speed stirring motor was used to ensure a uniform movement of syringe plunger through the barrel. The method provided a fairly good precision for all compounds (5.5-9.3%), except methanol (16.4%). Detection limits were found to be between 1 and 97 microg/l within an extraction time of approximately 9.5 min under GC-MS in full scan mode.     

Rapid determination of panaxynol in a traditional Chinese medicine of Saposhnikovia divaricata by pressurized hot water extraction followed by liquid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Panaxynol is a bioactive component in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), such as Saposhnikovia divaricata and Panax ginseng. In the work, two solvent-free sample techniques of pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) and headspace liquid-phase microextraction (HS-LPME) were combined and developed for the determination of panaxynol in a TCM of S. divaricata. Panaxynol in the TCM samples from different growing areas was extracted by PHWE in dynamic mode, followed by extraction and concentration with HS-LPME and analysis with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The PHWE and HS-LPME parameters were optimized and the method validations were studied. Panaxynol in S. divaricata from four different growing areas was quantitatively analyzed by internal standard method. These results have shown that PHWE-LPME-GC-MS is a simple, rapid, efficient and low-cost method for the determination of panaxynol in TCMs and is a potential tool for TCM quality assessment.     

载钛催化剂的气固相法制备及其在环氧化氯丙烯反应中的催化活性

利用TiCl4气固相法,以含硅物质为原料,制备了7种钛硅氧化物类催化剂,并考察了其在H2O2环氧化氯丙烯反应中的催化活性。实验结果表明：只有以HZSM-5为载体制备的催化剂具有催化环氧化活性。酸处理HZSM-5对催化剂活性的影响并不大,分子筛的硅铝比和气固相反应时间是影响其催化活性的重要因素,且催化活性随着硅铝比的降低而降低。气固相反应时间16h时,催化剂的活性最高。     

气固相取代法制备Ti-β沸石Ⅰ.母体脱铝处理的影响

钛硅分子筛TS-1在有稀双氧水(30%)参与的多种有机化合物选择氧化反应中具有优异的催化性能,因而被认为是分子筛研究领域的一个里程碑[1].但由于其拓扑结构所限,TS-1孔道尺寸只有O.55 nm左右,动力学直径大于0.6 nm的有机物分子难以扩散进入其孔道内部.相继,人们报道了水热合成的Ti-β(0.7 nm×0.7 nm)[2～4]和Ti-MCM-41(2～50 nm)[5]等大孔径含钛分子筛.这些类型的含钛分子筛在催化选择氧化某些有机大分子的反应中表现出TS-1所无法比拟的催化活性.气固相取代法是制备含钛沸石的一种新颖的方法,由于其工艺简单、操作方便而受到人们的重视[6～9].本文以经过盐酸脱铝的β沸石为母体,在一定的气固相反应温度下和TiCl4蒸气接触制备Ti-β沸石,重点考察了母体的脱铝处理条件对钛进入沸石骨架的影响.
