An improved colorimetric method for chlorine dioxide and chlorite ion in drinking water using lissamine green B and horseradish peroxidase

Lissamine Green B (LGB) was carefully selected as a potential candidate for the development of a new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method that is intended for use at water utilities to determine chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) in drinking water. Chlorine dioxide reacts with LGB in aqueous solution to decrease the absorbance of LGB in direct proportion to the ClO₂ concentration. LGB was confirmed to have adequate sensitivity, and to suffer less interference than other dyes reported in the literature. The stoichiometry for the reaction between LGB and ClO₂ was found not to be 1:1 and is dependent on the LGB concentration. This required calibration of each LGB stock solution and prompted the investigation of alternate means of calibration, which utilized a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed conversion of chlorite ion (ClO₂⁻) to ClO₂. This approach allowed the simultaneous determination of ClO₂⁻ concentration, which is also required each day at water plants that use ClO₂. Studies were conducted to characterize and carefully optimize the HRP-conversion of ClO₂⁻ to ClO₂ in order to yield reaction conditions that could be accomplished in less than 30 min at modest cost, yet meet EPA's sensitivity and robustness requirements for routine monitoring. An assessment of method detection limit, linearity and slope (or sensitivity), precision, and accuracy in finished drinking water matrices indicated that this approach was suitable for publication as EPA Method 327.0.     

Adsorption of carbon dioxide of 1-site and 3-site models in pillared clays: a Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation

Adsorption behavior of carbon dioxide confined in pillared clays is analyzed by using constant pressure Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (GEMC) method. In our simulation, 1-site and 3-site models are used to represent carbon dioxide. At the 1-site model, carbon dioxide is described as a Lennard-Jones (LJ) sphere, while at the 3-site model, carbon dioxide is modeled as a three-sites linear chain represented by EPM2 potential considering the quadrapolar effect. The potential model from Yi et al. for pillared clays is used to emphasize its quasi two-dimensional structure. Comparing the calculated results from the 1-site and the 3-site models at T=228.15 and 258.15 K, we observe that the adsorption amount from the two models is the same basically. However, the local density presents a significant difference, because the shoulder in the main peak near the wall from 3-site model can reflect the orientation of carbon dioxide. Accordingly, in the systematical investigation to explore the effect of porosity and pore width on the adsorption of carbon dioxide in pillared clays, the 3-site model was only used. We observe that for a narrow pore of H=1.02 nm, each isotherm shape displays type I curve, suggesting that it is not inflected by the porosity. However, for the larger pores of H=1.70 and H=2.38 nm, the increase of the porosity alters the shape of adsorption isotherms from a simple linear relation to the first order jump, indicating that the porosity is of very important factor to affect adsorption and phase behavior of fluids confined in pillared clays. The excess adsorptions of carbon dioxide at supercritical temperatures of T=323.15 and 348.15 K are also investigated. We find that the maximum exists for each excess isotherm, and the optimal pressure corresponding to the maximum increases with the pore width. However, the porosity has no significant effect on the optimal pressure.

从超临界二氧化碳和甲醇直接合成碳酸二甲酯

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC), an environmentally benign intermediate for organic synthesis, has been mainly synthesized through non-phosgene route of oxidative carbonylation[1]. Direct synthesis of DMC from carbon dioxide and methanol is of more significance due to atom economy. Organometallic compounds of formulae R2M(OR)2, M(OR)2 or M(OR)4[2,3] were employed as catalysts in direct synthesis of DMC, where an activation mechanism of CO2 insertion into metal-oxygen bond was supposed. Unfortunately, the yield of DMC was low even in the presence of chemical dehydrants because mainly of thermodynamic limit.
