The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of pretreated woody crops to ethanol

Four promising woody crops (Populusmaximowiczii x nigra (NE388), P.trichocarpa x deltoides (Nll), P.tremuloides, and SweetgumLiquidambar styraciflua) were pretreated by dilute sulfuric acid and evaluated in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process for ethanol production. The yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae was used in the fermentations alone, and in mixed cultures with β -glucosidase producingBrettanomyces dausenii. Commercial Genencor 150L cellulase enyme was either employed alone or supplemented with β- glucosidase. All SSFs were run at 37 …C for 8 d and compared to saccharifications at 45…C under the same enzyme loadings.S. cerevisiae alone achieved the highest ethanol yields and rates of hydrolysis at the higher enzyme loadings, whereas the mixed culture performed better at the lower enzyme loadings without β -glucosidase supplementation. The best overall rates of fermentation (3 d) and final theoretical ethanol yields (86–90%) were achieved with P.maximowiczii x nigra (NE388) and SweetgumLiquidambar styraciflua, followed by P.tremuloides and P.trichocarpa xdeltoides (N1l) with slightly slower rates and lower yields. Although there were some differences in SSF performance, all these pretreated woody crops show promise as substrates for ethanol production.     

DEHYDROGENATION AND AROMATIZATION OF METHANE IN THE ABSENCE OF OXYGEN OVER DOPED Mo/HZSM-5 CATALYSTS

研究了在Ｍｏ／ＨＺＳＭ－５催化剂上添加助剂以及不同的反应预处理温度对甲烷无氧脱氢芳构化反应的影响。实验结果表明，由于第二组分的添加，Ｍｏ／ＨＺＳＭ－５催化剂的活性和选择性都得到了较大程度的改善。预处理温度是影响催化剂反应性能的关键因素。Ｍｏ－Ｒｕ／ＨＺＳＭ－５催化剂经过８７３Ｋ空气预处理后，甲烷在９７３Ｋ的转化率约为１０％，催化剂的稳定性也得到较大程度的提高。ＴＰＳＲ实验结果表明，Ｒｕ的加入降低了芳烃生成的温度。ＴＰＯ和ＤＴＡ实验结果表明，在Ｍｏ－Ｒｕ／ＨＺＳＭ－５催化剂上可生成较多的碳物种，结合反应结果，可以认为反应过程中生成的碳物种对甲烷的无氧脱氢芳构化反应是起积极作用的     

Structural evolution of calcium-exchanged (NH4)2SiF6-dealuminated Y zeolite after various chemical treatments

The structural evolution of Y zeolite (Si/Al 2.17) weakly dealuminated by hexafluorosilicate (Si/Al 3.13), denoted Y_D, and exchanged with calcium (CaY_D), has been studied after acid–base treatments at 80 °C close to the cation exchange conditions. The stability of the samples was followed by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR of ²⁹Si and ²⁷Al; Y_D zeolite was completely destroyed by treatment with acid pH 2.5 and suffered serious degradation on treatment with alkali at pH 11.8. The introduction of calcium improved the stability of the zeolite in acid and base. In acid CaY_D was not destroyed until pH 1. At pH 2, silicon and aluminium were extracted and an amorphous phase was formed. Base treatment at pH 13 did not affect the calcium-exchanged zeolite.     

电化学氟化的新进展

电化学氟化是利用电极反应将氟直接引入有机或无机物的一种重要方法。有机物的电化学氟化方法有两种: 一是Simons于1941年发明的, 用镍作阳极, 在无水氟化氢溶液中, 电解制备全氟化合物的方法。此方法在近年来有不少改进。另一是1970年Rozhkov提出的, 以有机溶剂(如含Et3N.3HF的MeCN)为介质, 在铂阳极上,氧化得到单氟化产物的方法。本文全面地综述了这两种方法, 并着重于最新民发展。     

Synthesis and characterisation of bis(pentafluorophenyl)antimony(V) cations, [(C6F5)2SbL3]

Pentacoordinate complex cations of the general formula [(C₆F₅)₂SbL₃]³⁺ stabilized as solid salts in combination with tetraphenylborate (BPh₄), tetrafluorobroate (BF₄) anions, where L=DMSO, Ph₃AsO, PyO, DMF, α-, β- and γ-picoline have been isolated. The newly formed complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, solid-state IR and and NMR. From these results, a five-fold coordination around antimony was required.     

Artificial model for cystathionine β-synthase: efficient β-replacement reaction with thiols employing a novel pyridoxal model compound having an imidazole function

As a second-generation pyridoxal model compound for cystathionine β-synthase, we designed a novel model compound having an ionophore function and an imidazole function, application of which to the β-replacement reaction with various thiols smoothly took place to give S-substituted cysteines. Peptides having a serine-O-carbonate residue at the N-terminal position were also converted to the corresponding peptides having an S-substituted cysteine residue under the catalytic conditions of the novel pyridoxal model compound.     

Photoreaction of 2′-chloro-4-R-benzanilide: synthesis of 2-(4-R-phenyl)-1,3-benzoxazole and 9-R-phenanthridin-6(5H)-one (R=H, CH3, CH3O)

The UV photolysis of 2′-chloro-4-R-benzanilides in acetonitrile solution under nitrogen atmosphere leads to the formation of intramolecular photocyclization products (9-R-phenanthridin-6(5)-one, 20–30%), along with the minor photoreduction, photo-Fries, and intramolecular photosubstitution products. The photoreaction of 2′-chloro-4-R-benzanilide in acetonitrile solution containing 10% of water or aqueous sodium hydroxide however gives 2-(4-R-phenyl)-1,3-benzoxazole as a major product (30%) along with the photoreduction, photo-Fries and intramolecular photocyclization products.     

Thermal Analysis of Hexachloroplumbate and Chlorides Containing Complex Divalent Lead 2,2'-bipyridine Cations

Lead(II) 2,2'-bipyridine hexachloroplumba tetetrahydrate was synthesized and investigated by DTA, TG and DTG. IR spectroscopy and other methods enabled the identification of some of the decomposition products. Comparative studies on the corresponding chlorides: [Pb(bipy)]Cl₂ and [Pb(bipy)₃]Cl₂, which can be considered as precursors of the hexachloroplumbate, were also undertaken. X-ray measurements enabled the tentative determination of the crystal structure of [Pb(bipy)]Cl₂. Hexachloroplumbate decomposes with the liberation of chlorine, water and organic ligands, and the process is accompanied by the simultaneous transition of Pb(IV)→Pb(II). Chlorides release only ligands upon heating. Residues comprised always PbCl₂. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Structural and electrical changes in NdSrNiO4−δ by substitute nickel with copper

A novel series of the formula NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ were synthesized for various values of x ranging from 0 to 1 in 1 atm of O₂ gas flow using conventional solid-state methods and were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements. The compounds have been shown to adopt the K₂NiF₄-type structure. The oxygen stoichiometry of the compounds was determined from thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). An analysis of the micro-structure of the neodymium strontium nickel copper oxide is described. All the samples were semi-conducting from room temperature down to 77 K. The effect of Cu²⁺ incorporation on the structural and electrical properties of NdSrNi_1−xCu_xO_4−δ, 0?x?1, are discussed in terms of Jahn-Teller distortion of the (Ni/Cu)O₆ octahedra and mixed valence character of copper.
