Nanocarbons for Catalytic Desulfurization

Nanocarbon catalysts are green and sustainable alternatives to metal‐based catalysts for numerous catalytic transformations. The application of nanocarbons for environmental catalysis is an emerging research discipline and has undergone rapid development in recent years. In this focus review, we provide a critical analysis of state‐of‐the‐art nanocarbon catalysts for three different catalytic desulfurization processes. In particular, we focus on the advantages and limitations as well as the reaction mechanisms of the nanocarbon catalysts at the molecular level.     

Controlling crosslinking in thermosets via chain transfer with monoterpenes

Renewable resources have been utilized to control the degree of crosslinking during ring‐opening metathesis polymerizations (ROMP). In this regard, the addition of monoterpenes to thermosets created a sustainable method for adjusting the physical properties and thermal stability. A number of monoterpenes with alkenes were examined as monofunctional reactants. The presence of these monoterpenes, such as β‐pinene, during the ROMP of dicyclopentadiene altered the degree of crosslinking and plasticized the thermoset. The resulting physical properties were tailored to obtain desired modulus and glass transition (T_g) temperatures. The influence of time, temperature, weight percent β‐pinene, and different metathesis catalysts was examined by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy. A comparison of β‐pinene with other monoterpenes, such as carvone, limonene oxide, myrcene, and d‐limonene, resulted in a reactivity profile for this general method. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular‐Level Understanding of the Carbonisation of Polysaccharides

Understanding of both the textural and functionality changes occurring during (mesoporous) polysaccharide carbonisation at the molecular level provides a deeper insight into the whole spectrum of material properties, from chemical activity to pore shape and surface energy, which is crucial for the successful application of carbonaceous materials in adsorption, catalysis and chromatography. Obtained information will help to identify the most appropriate applications of the carbonaceous material generated during torrefaction and different types of pyrolysis processes and therefore will be important for the development of cost‐ and energy‐efficient zero‐waste biorefineries. The presented approach is informative and semi‐quantitative with the potential to be extended to the formation of other biomass‐derived carbonaceous materials.

三峡水库消落带湿地生态友好型利用探讨 (三峡地区资源环境生态研究)

三峡水库蓄水后形成的消落带湿地,其生态环境既是严峻考验,同时也是生态机遇。消落带冬季蓄水淹没期间,生长季节积累下来的有机物质在水下厌氧分解,成为二次污染源。大面积消落带植被在出露的生长季节所蓄积的碳及营养物质是非常宝贵的资源,如果能加以妥善利用,就可化害为利。针对三峡库区消落带湿地现状及存在的问题,必须着眼于消落带湿地的生态友好型利用,立足消落带湿地向增加碳汇、生物生产、环境净化等多功能生态经济效益转变的需求,探索消落带湿地资源生态友好型利用的多种模式,包括湿地基塘工程、林泽工程、植物浮床工程、消落带湿地农业产业功能耦合关键技术、消落带湿地生态保育和生态修复技术等。
