苏皖四处凹凸棒石粘土矿床稀土元素地球化学研究

研究了苏皖四处凹凸棒石粘土矿床不同类型矿石的烯土元素组成及其变化特征。研究表明玄武岩首先风化形成蒙皂石族粘土矿物，在此过程中稀土元素没有明显的分馏作用，强风化的玄武岩重稀土元素强烈亏损；如果玄武岩在地表进一步风化形成红土型蒙脱石粘土，则发生明显的铈正异常，中稀土亏损而轻稀土和重稀土又重新富集，这反映了当时大陆地表特殊的氧化条件和盆地湖水溶液的胶体吸附作用。玄武岩在原地进行水－岩作用，发生递进化学风化，其稀土元素地球化学特征与玄武岩及其风化产物的稀土元素化学特征基本一致，总量略低，显示REE没有大量迁移流失，沉积型凹凸棒石粘土的稀土元素地球化学特征也与玄武岩及其风化产物的稀土元素地球化学特征相似，但同时表现出轻重稀土比值磁大，铕正异常，表明沉积型凹凸棒石粘土的物源基本上是来源于玄武岩的风化产物，但REE配分模型受玄武岩风化残积物的制约。     

等离子体引发原位聚合制备凹凸棒土/聚苯乙烯纳米复合物

用阳离子表面活性剂处理凹凸棒土（Attapulgite),通过超声分散的方法将其均匀分散到苯乙烯单体中，并采用等离子体引发的方法制备出凹凸棒土／聚苯乙烯纳米复合物。通过透射电子显微镜（TEM）和X－射线衍射（XRD）观察了凹凸棒土及其纳米复合物的微观结构。对复合物的GPC测试表明，采用等离子体引发聚合反应可以显著提高树脂的分子量。XRD结果表明聚苯乙烯不是嵌入到凹凸棒土的层间，而是通过离子吸附接枝在凹凸棒土的棒状晶束上。     

改性凹凸棒的制备及对砷离子的吸附研究

针对日益严重的砷离子污染问题，本文采用灵敏简便的原子荧光分析法，探究了凹凸棒石粘土吸附剂对砷离子的吸附性能，测定了pH、吸附时间、砷离子的初始浓度等因素对凹凸棒石粘土负载铁氧化物对砷离子吸附能力的影响，并通过SEM、EDX、FTIR对所制得的吸附剂进行了表征研究，同时进行了吸附动力学和吸附等温模型的分析。研究结果表明，改性后的凹凸棒对砷离子的吸附性能有了显著提升，在较低浓度时吸附效率可达98%，该吸附符合Langmuir等温吸附模型和准二级动力学方程。     

Attapulgite grafted with polystyrene via a simultaneous reverse and normal initiation atom transfer radical polymerization

The surface grafting of attapulgite (ATP) with polystyrene (PS) was established via a simultaneous reverse and normal initiation atom transfer radical polymerization (SR&NIATRP). 4‐(chloromethyl)phenyltrimethoxysilane (CMPTMS) chemical bounded on the surface of ATP (ATP‐Cl, Cl‐I) was prepared via one‐step self‐assembly. SR&NI ATRP of styrene was conducted using CuCl₂ complex tris(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)amine (Me₆‐TREN) as the catalytic system, initiated by 2,2‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and ATP‐Cl. FT‐IR, XRD, XPS, TGA and TEM data were consistent with the grafting of benzyl chloride groups and PS chains on ATP surface. The controllability of polymerization was investigated by the kinetics behavior under different molar ratio of AIBN and CuCl₂. The obtained polymer possessed a uniform distribution of molecular weights with a lower polydispersity index of 1.2～1.4. The relationship between polymerization on the surface of ATP and in solution was discussed in detail based on TGA data of hybrid particles and GPC trace of free polymer in solution. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

pH-Responsive Nanocomposites From Methylcellulose and Attapulgite Nanorods: Synthesis,Swelling and Absorption Performance on Heavy Metal Ions

A pH-responsive methylcellulose-g-poly(sodium acrylate)/attapulgite (MC-g-PNaA/APT) nanocomposite superabsorbent was prepared by the free-radical solution polymerization of methylcellulose (MC), sodium acrylate (NaA) and nanoscale attapulgite (APT) in the presence of the crosslinker N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA). The structure and morphology of the nanocomposite were characterized by FTIR, FESEM, TEM, XRD and EDS techniques, and the effects of the amount of MBA, MC and APT nanorods on swelling behaviors were also evaluated. Results indicate that NaA has been grafted onto MC macromolecular chains and APT nanorods participated in polymerization by its active silanol groups, and APT led to a better dispersion in the MC-g-PNaA matrix. The incorporation of APT clearly enhanced the swelling capacity and rate of the superabsorbent. In addition, the nanocomposite exhibited excellent absorption capacity on heavy metal ions, and its absorption amounts on Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions reached 9.86, 7.66 and 21.86 times greater than active carbon (AC). The biopolymer-based nanocomposite superabsorbents can be used as a potential water-saving material and candidate of AC for heavy metal ion absorption.     

Preparation and Characterization of Polyhydroxyurethane/Attapulgite Nanocomposites Via In-Situ Surface-Initiated Polymerization

The polyhydroxyurethane/attapulgite nanocomposites (PHU/ATP) were prepared by in-situ surface-initiated polymerization of a five-membered cyclic carbonate, 2, 2-bis [p-(1, 3-dioxolan-2-one-4-yl-methoxy) phenyl] propane (B5CC) and hexamethylene diamine, from the surface of the aminopropyl attapulgite nanoparticles (APATP) for the first time. The chemical grafting of the polymer on the surface of ATP was confirmed by FTIR and the morphology of the attapulgite nanoparticles in the nanocomposites was examined by TEM. The thermal stabilities of the polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) and the polyhydroxyurethane/attapulgite nanocomposites (PHU/ATP) were compared with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).The %G of the attapulgite nanoparticles was also calculated from the results of TGA after the free polyhydroxyurethane was washed off.     

Thermal Stabilities of Attapulgite/Polystyrene (ATP/PS) Nanocomposites via Microwave‐Assisted Bulk Polymerization

Attapulgite/polystyrene (ATP/PS) nanocomposites with different contents of attapulgite nano‐needles organo‐modified, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were successfully prepared by the in situ bulk radical polymerization of styrene, under microwave irradiation. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed good dispersibility of the organo‐modified attapulgite nano‐needles in the polystyrene matrices. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposite was enhanced with the increase of additional attapulgite nano‐needles.

Preparation of magnetic attapulgite/polypyrrole nanocomposites for magnetic effervescence‐assisted dispersive solid‐phase extraction of pyrethroids from honey samples

In this work, a novel extraction technique based on the effervescence‐assisted dispersion and magnetic recovery of attapulgite/polypyrrole sorbents was developed for determining the concentrations of five pyrethroids in honey samples. The magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a one‐pot method. Several experimental parameters that affected the extraction efficiency, including the dispersion conditions, pH, ionic strength, and desorption conditions, were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the calibration curves for the five pyrethroids in honey samples exhibited good linearity, with r² values ranging from 0.9979 to 0.9990. The limits of detection varied between 0.21 and 0.34 µg/L. Satisfactory recoveries of 81.42–106.73% with intra‐ and interday relative standard deviations of less than 6.94 and 10.89%, respectively, were obtained. Moreover, the sorbents exhibited acceptable batch‐to‐batch repeatability in the range of 5.06–15.01%, and each sorbent could be reused for up to four extraction cycles without a significant loss in the extraction recovery.     

Reinforced Supramolecular Hydrogels from Attapulgite and Cyclodextrin Pseudopolyrotaxane for Sustained Intra‐Articular Drug Delivery

Injectable hydrogels for nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs’ (NSAIDs) delivery to minimize the side effects of NSAIDs and achieve long‐term sustained release at the targeted site of synovial joint are attractive for osteoarthritis therapy, but how to improve its mechanical strength remains a challenge. In this work, a kind of 1D natural clay mineral material, attapulgite (ATP), is introduced to a classical cyclodextrin pseudopolyrotaxane (PPR) system to form a reinforced supramolecular hydrogel for sustained release of diclofenac sodium (DS) due to its rigid, rod‐like morphology, and unique structure, which has great potential in tissue regeneration, repair, and engineering. Investigation on the interior morphology and rheological property of the obtained hydrogel points out that the ATP distributed in PPR hydrogel plays a role similar to the “reinforcement in concrete” and exhibits a positive effect on improving the mechanical properties of PPR hydrogel by regulating their interior morphology from a randomly distributed style to the well‐ordered porous frame structure. The hybrid hydrogels demonstrate good shear‐thinning and thixotropic properties, excellent biocompability, and sustained release behavior both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, preliminary in vivo treatment in an acute inflammatory rat model reveals that the ATP hybrid hydrogels present sustained anti‐inflammatory effect.
