Effect of trace metals on reactive crystallization of gypsum

The effect of Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, and Cr³⁺ ions on crystallization of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) produced by the reaction between calcium hydroxide suspension and sulphuric acid solution was investigated at 3.5 pH and 65°C in the absence and presence of 2500 ppm citric acid concentration. Crystal size distributions, filtration rates, and morphology of gypsum were determined and discussed as a function of ion concentration. Average particle size of gypsum was not affected significantly by the presence of Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, and Cr³⁺ ions individually. Variation of gypsum morphology depending on ion concentration affected the filtration characteristics. The presence of Fe³⁺ or Cr³⁺ ions besides 2500 ppm citric acid influenced both average particle size and filtration characteristics. The effect of citric acid on gypsum morphology was suppressed at high Fe³⁺ and Cr³⁺ ion concentrations. The change of morphology is related to the complex formation between Fe³⁺ or Cr³⁺ ions and citric acid at high ion concentrations. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Polystyrene-Supported Palladium (Pd@PS)-Catalyzed Carbonylative Annulation of Aryl Iodides Using Oxalic Acid as a Sustainable CO Source for the Synthesis of 2-Aryl Quinazolinones

An efficient and convenient strategy for the synthesis of diversely substituted quinazolinones from o-carbamoyl/cyano aniline and aryl iodides using oxalic acid as a CO source under polystyrene supported palladium (Pd@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) catalyzed conditions has been developed. In this study, oxalic acid has been employed as safe, economic, environmentally benign, sustainable and bench-stable, solid CO surrogate under Double-Layer-Vial (DLV) system for the synthesis of 2-aryl quinazolinones. This methodology does not require any special high-pressure equipment like autoclaves, microwaves, etc. Moreover, a simple procedure for catalyst preparation, catalyst recyclability, easy handling of reaction, additive and base-free generation of CO, excellent to good yields and vast substrate scope are the additional features of developed protocol.     

In situ thermo-TOF-SIMS study of thermal decomposition of zinc acetate dihydrate

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was used for an in situ thermal decomposition study of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O forming ZnO nanoparticles. TOF-SIMS spectra were recorded at regular temperature intervals of 25 °C in positive and negative detection modes in a dynamic thermal process. Controlled heating (5 °C min⁻¹) of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O was also carried out using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in an oxygen atmosphere (20 ml min⁻¹). Nearly spherical ZnO nanoparticles with no agglomeration and a narrow size distribution (diameter ∼50 nm) were observed, which were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. In situ thermo-TOF-SIMS was used to monitor the ⁶⁴Zn⁺ and ⁶⁶Zn⁺ ion abundances as a function of temperature, which showed a similar profile to that observed for weight loss in TGA during decomposition. Based on the experimental results, a possible decomposition mechanism for the formation of ZnO is proposed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

不同晶相的草酸钙晶体引起肾上皮细胞的毒性差异

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、激光共聚焦显微镜(LSM)、流式细胞仪、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪(ICP)等方法比较研究了尺寸约1.2μm的一水草酸钙(COM)和二水草酸钙(COD)晶体对非洲绿猴肾上皮细胞(Vero细胞)的损伤差异。COM和COD均能引起Vero细胞的细胞活力和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力降低、丙二醛(MDA)含量升高以及碘化丙啶(PI)红染细胞数目增多,且均呈现浓度依赖性。在相同晶体浓度时,COM的细胞毒性明显比COD强,引起细胞表面表达的粘附分子透明质酸(HA)比COD多,粘附量也显著增加。相比于COM晶体,Vero细胞更容易内吞COD晶体。COM与COD晶体对肾上皮细胞的毒性差异与晶面的离子密度以及细胞与晶体间的静电作用等因素密切相关。本文结果将有助于从分子水平上和细胞水平上阐释草酸钙结石的形成机理。     

Selective Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides/Sulfones by 30% Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

A selective and efficient procedure for the oxidation of various sulfides with sodium tungstate dihydrate with 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of trioctylmethylammonium dihydrogen phosphate, respectively, to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones is reported. The oxidation reaction is carried out at –5 to 0 °C in the presence of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins for sulfoxides or at 50–60 °C for sulfones. The mild reaction conditions, easy workup, and good yields of the products are the major advantages of this method.     

Effect of phosphonate additive on crystallization of gypsum in phosphoric and sulfuric acid medium

Understanding the mechanisms of growth and inhibition during crystallization of calcium sulfate is of primary importance for many industrial applications. For instance, inhibition of the crystallization process may be required to prevent scale formation in pipes, boilers, heat exchangers, reactors, reverse osmosis membrane surfaces, cooling water systems, secondary oil recovery utilizing water flooding techniques and desalination evaporators, etc. On the other hand, control growth and morphology of gypsum crystals is desired in achieving higher filtration rate and higher productivity of phosphoric acid from phosphate rocks. In this regard, this basic study is carried out to understand effect of Aminotris (methylenephosphonic acid (ATMP) on calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) crystallization. The time elapsed between the achievement of supersaturation and the appearance of a solid phase (termed as induction time) is measured under different supersaturation ratios ranging from 1.018 to 1.979. The data are used to calculate the surface energy, critical nucleus size, and crystal growth rates of gypsum under different conditions. The results show that, the induction time decreases exponentially with increasing the supersaturation ratio. In addition, the surface energy decreases with ATMP compared to the baseline (without ATMP). Interestingly, with addition of the ATMP, the crystals mean and median diameters are found to decrease. The inhibition efficiency ranges from 16% to 59% depending on supersaturation ratio.

The crystal structure of piperazinium(2+) selenate monohydrate has been resolved; this substance crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a=6.4586(8), b=11.8335(7), c=11.8065(7) Å, β=100.990(8)°; V=885.80(13) Å⁵, Z=4, R=0.0446 for 1556 observed reflections. A similar compound, N,N′-dimethylpiperazinium(2+) selenate dihydrate, crystallizes in a triclinic system with space group P and lattice parameters a=6.7370(8), b=7.9845(9), c=12.3802(12) Å, α=92.435(9)°, β=100.219(9)°, γ=114.699(10)°; V=590.34(11) ų, Z=2, R=0.0311 for 2071 observed reflections. While, in the former structure, the cations of piperazinium(2+) in the chair conformation are arranged roughly plane-parallel above one another, in the second substance, the N,N′-dimethylpiperazinium (2+) ions lie approximately perpendicularly above one another. The FTIR and FT Raman spectra of both test substances have been measured and studied. The thermoanalytical properties were studied using TG, DTG, and DTA methods in the temperature range 293–533 K. DSC measurements were carried out in the temperature range 95–343 K. No phase transition was found in this temperature region for either of the compounds.
