Modification of Surface and Structural Properties of Ordered Mesoporous Silicates

Two simple modification methods for ordered mesoporous silicas were examined and compared. MCM-41 molecular sieve was physically coated with 4-cyano-4-biphenyl [4(4-pentenyloxy)]benzoate (CBPB) and chemically modified using trimethylethoxysilane. The structural and surface properties of the obtained materials were characterized using elemental analysis, thermogravimetry and nitrogen adsorption over a wide pressure range.It was shown that the pore size of the MCM-41 material was not decreased significantly after the coating procedure, even for high loadings of CBPB. Moreover, low pressure adsorption measurements indicated that significant fractions of the MCM-41 surface were not covered by CBPB, even for high CBPB loadings, which suggests that the attained coverage may be very nonuniform. The chemical bonding procedure led to a marked decrease in the pore size and change of surface properties.It was demonstrated that nitrogen adsorption measurements provide a means of a thorough characterization of modified MCM-41 materials, allowing to estimate the surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution. Moreover, low pressure adsorption data can be used to qualitatively or semiquantitatively assess the surface coverage of the coated/bonded organic groups, which may be used to estimate the uniformity of the coverage and therefore, the usefulness of the modification procedure.     

Quaternized wood as sorbent for hexavalent chromium

The potential of quaternized wood (QW) chips in removing hexavalent chromium from synthetic solution and chrome waste under both batch and continuous-flow conditions was investigated. Sorption was found to be dependent on pH, metal concentration, and temperature. QW chips provide higher sorption capacity and wider pH range compared with untreated wood chips. The equilibrium data could be fitted into the Langmuir isotherm model, and maximum sorption capacities were calculated to be 27.03 and 25.77 mg/g in synthetic chromate solution and chrome waste, respectively. The presence of sulfate in high concentration appeared to suppress the uptake of chromium by QW chips. Column studies showed that bed depth influenced the breakthrough time greatly whereas flow rate of influent had little effect on its sorption on the column.

Modification of solids with volatile organics III: Natural zeolites

Summary The effect of pre-adsorbed benzene and ethanol on the adsorptive properties of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) has been studied by gas-solid chromatography. It has been shown that modification of the solid surface by volatile organics has a significant influence on the adsorptive properties. The modification is of the same order as the more difficult modification by inorganics, as illustrated here by clinoptilolite modification with Co²⁺. Energy distribution of surface adsorptive sites appears to be continuous and confirms previous finding that only a small proportion of active sites is responsible for most adsorbate retention.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Biomaterial： Maleic Anhydride-modified Poly（dl-lactic acid）

A novel modified poly(dl-lactic acid) (PDLLA) was obtained by covalently grafting of maleic anhydride onto the backbone of PDLLA, attempting to improve PDLLA‘s hydrophilicity and cell affinity and to provide reactive groups for further chemical modification. FTIR, ^13 C NMR and DSC were used to characterize the maleic anhydride-modified PDLLA.

A novel poly（d, /-lactic acid） （PDLLA） based biomimetic polymer was synthesized by grafting maleic anhydride, butanediamine and arg-gly-asp-ser （RGDS） peptides onto the backbone of PDLLA, aiming to overcome the acidity and auto-accelerating degradation of PDLLA during degradation and to improve its biospecificity and biocompatibility. The synthetic copolymer was characterized by FTIR, ^13C NMR and amino acid analyzer （AAA）.

Surface structure and electrochemical characteristics of natural graphite fluorinated by ClF3

Natural graphite samples with average particle sizes of 5, 10 and 15 μm (NG5 μm, NG10 μm and NG15 μm, respectively) were fluorinated by ClF₃ (3 × 10⁴ Pa) at 200 and 300 °C for 2 min. X-ray photoelectron spectra of surface-fluorinated samples showed that surface fluorine concentration increased with increase in the particle size of graphite and reaction temperature. Small amounts of chlorine were also detected in all the fluorinated samples. Raman spectra of original and surface-fluorinated samples indicated that the surface disordering was increased for NG10 μm and NG15 μm. Surface areas were decreased by the fluorination for NG5 μm and NG10 μm but unchanged for NG15 μm. The mesopores with diameter of 1.5-2 nm increased while those of 2-3 nm decreased for all the samples. First coulombic efficiencies for NG10 μm and NG15 μm were highly increased by surface fluorination in 1 mol/dm³ LiClO₄-EC/DEC/PC (EC: ethylene carbonate, DEC: diethyl carbonate, PC: propylene carbonate) solution.     

Zur Struktur und Reaktivität des Diammoniumhexafluoromanganats(IV)

About the Structure and Reactivity of Diammonium Hexafluoromanganate(IV) Electrolytic oxidation of an aqueous suspension of MnF₂ containing NH₄F, and subsequent crystallization in 40% HF yields yellow crystals of (NH₄)₂MnF₆. It crystallizes in the hexagonal K₂MnF₆ type structure with the space group P6₃mc and a = 5.903; c = 9.565 Å; Z = 2. With in situ powder diffraction studies it is shown, that (NH₄)₂MnF₆ is gradually reduced in a NH₃ atmosphere between 30 and 230 °C to afford (NH₄)₃MnF₆, (NH₄)₂MnF₅, and finally NH₄MnF₃. (NH₄)₃MnF₆, thereby, forms a hitherto unknown cubic (a = 9.082 Å) high temperature modification with the cryolite type structure. Under N₂ the thermal decomposition of (NH₄)₂MnF₆ proceeds via NH₄MnF₄ to yield MnF₂.
