Polyethylene Glycol as Support and Phase Transfer Catalyst in Aqueous Palladium-catalyzed Liquid-phase Synthesis

Recently, the liquid-phase synthesis of small organic compounds has been a preferable strategy due to its combination with the advantage of solution-phase and solid-phase methods1. Among the various soluble polymers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is the most useful as support. It has been reported that PEG bound substrates could also play the role of phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in some reactions2. Herein we reported that palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions could be taken place smoothly…     

对称电场催化增强甲烷转化合成C_2研究(英文)

利用电场作用通过交流和直流等离子体在低温、常压和低功率下催化反应将甲烷直接转化为碳二烃（乙烷、乙烯、乙炔）。考察了在对称电场作用下催化剂的催化性能。实验结果表明,在交流电场作用下,碳二烃选择性差别不大;甲烷转化率的大小顺序为： ＭｎＯ_２／Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞Ｎｉ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞ＭｏＯ_３／Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞Ｎｉ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞ＭｏＯ_３／Ａｌ２Ｏ３＞Ｎｉ／ＮａＹ＞Ｐｄ／ＺＳＭ－５＞Ｎｉ／Ｈ４Ｍｇ２Ｓｉ３Ｏ４＞Ｎｉ／ＺＳＭ－５＞Ｃｏ／ＺＳＭ－５＞无催化剂：在直流电场作用下,碳二烃选择性差别也不大（除Ｎｉ／ＮａＹ外）,甲烷转化率的大小顺序为： Ｎｉ／Ａ１２Ｏ３＞Ｎｉ／Ｈ４Ｍｇ２Ｓｉ３Ｏ４＞Ｎｉ／ＺＳＭ－５＞Ｃｏ／ＺＳＭ－５＞ＭｎＯ２／Ａ１２Ｏ３＞ＭｏＯ３／Ａ１２Ｏ３＞Ｎｉ／ＮａＹ＞无催化剂＞Ｐｄ／ＺＳＭ－５。     

非水介质中明胶水凝胶电场驱动行为的研究

研究了明胶水凝胶在绝缘硅油中的电场响应行为。结果表明,在硅油中,明胶水凝胶在外加高压直流电场作用下可发生运动,其运动由转动和平动两部分组成。存在一个运动所需的最小阈值电场,只有外加电场在此阈值以上时,才可观察到水凝胶明显的运动。水凝胶的运动速度随外加电场的增大而增大,其运动可通过外加电场的大小来调控。由硅油很稳定且在电场中会电解,因此避免了传统电场驱动水凝胶在水介质中响应时不可避免的电解缺点,为建立一种新的电响应凝毅然驱动方式提供了可能。     

Estimation of oxyhydroxide specific surface area using the amounts of OH groups adsorbed

A procedure for pH-metric determination of the limiting adsorption of OH groups (A _OH) by Fe^III, Zr^IV, Cr^III, and In^III oxyhydroxide hydrogels from 0.1 and 1.0 M solutions of NaCl is described. Data on the molecular area occupied by a single OH group on the hydrogel surface (S _OH) and the S _spec values, which were calculated from A _OH and S _OH, are presented. The S _spec value does not depend on the pH of hydrogel precipitation; the true S _spec value can be determined only from sorption of the OH groups at the actual point of zero charge of the hydrogel. The A _OH values for hydrogels were found to change only slightly during aging of hydrogels in electrolyte solutions.

Study on Reduction of Energy Consumption in Pulsed Corona Discharge Process for NOx Removal

We investigated the reduction of electrical energy consumption in thepulsed corona discharge process for the removal of nitrogenoxides. Hydrocarbon chemical additives used in the laboratory-scaleexperiment are responsible for the enhancement of the NO conversionthrough the chain reactions of free radicals, such as, R, RCO, RO,and others. Electrical energy consumption per converted NO moleculehas a minimum value of 17 eV when pentanol is injected. When ethyleneand propylene are injected, 30 and 22 eV of electrical energy consumptionare required for the conversion of a NO molecule, respectively. The ratioof the pulse-forming capacitance (C_e) to the reactor capacitance (C_R)plays an important role in the energy transfer efficiency to thereactor. The maximum energy transfer efficiency of approximately 72%could be obtained by the pulse-forming capacitance, which is 3.4 timeslarger than the reactor capacitance; the maximum NO conversionefficiency was also observed with the same condition.     

Comparison of the Efficiency of the One and Two-Step Process for the Production of BSCCO (2212) Powders by Means of Analytical Techniques

 The efficiency of the production of the high temperature superconducting powders Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x (BSCCO 2212) using the solid state reaction in one or two step processes under different thermal treatment was compared by means of different modern analytical techniques. Through the same techniques the optimization of the production of the production of Bi-2212 powder produced by the two step process, was achieved. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the products for their stoichiometry and phase-purity. The grain size of the powders was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while their superconducting properties were tested by electrical DC-resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). It resulted that the two step process gives a high quality BSCCO 2212 superconducting powder with T _c = 85 K, in a shorter time and with a greater recovery rate than the one step process.

Determination of oxytetracycline and some impurities in plasma by non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis using solid-phase extraction

Summary The potential of a non-aqueous, capillary electrophoresis (NACE) system for separating oxytetracycline from three of its impurities—tetracycline, 4-epioxytetracycline and 4-epitetracycline—using UV detection has been studied. The running buffer was: 25 mM sodium acetate, 1 mM EDTA, methanesulfonic acid, pH 4, dissolved in MeOH-ACN (50∶50,v/v). The method was also used to determine these compounds in pig plasma. A solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure as a clean-up step has also developed. For this we tested Sep Pak C₁₈, LiChrolut EN and OASIS cartridges. OASIS cartridges were best. Recoveries were 90–100% for all compounds except EOTC which had a recovery of 74%.

As an example, we simulate the Selkov reactions with scratching mark, i. e. using a scratching mark pacemaker, obtained one classical spiral waves.     

Propagation of acoustic wave in viscoelastic medium permeated with air bubbles

Based on the modification of the radial pulsation equation of an individual bubble, an effective medium method (EMM) is presented for studying propagation of linear and nonlinear longitudinal acoustic waves in viscoelastic medium permeated with air bubbles. A classical theory developed previously by Gaunaurd (Gaunaurd GC and \"{U}berall H, {\em J. Acoust. Soc. Am}., 1978; 63: 1699--1711) is employed to verify the EMM under linear approximation by comparing the dynamic (i.e. frequency-dependent) effective parameters, and an excellent agreement is obtained. The propagation of longitudinal waves is hereby studied in detail. The results illustrate that the nonlinear pulsation of bubbles serves as the source of second harmonic wave and the sound energy has the tendency to be transferred to second harmonic wave. Therefore the sound attenuation and acoustic nonlinearity of the viscoelastic matrix are remarkably enhanced due to the system's resonance induced by the existence of bubbles.
