The investigation focused on the effects of pyrolysis temperature and coal particle size on the product distribution and composition. The experimental results show that an increase in the pyrolysis temperature results in a higher yield of gaseous products while a larger particle size leads to a decrease of the liquid yield. An optimum temperature for the liquid yield was found to be 650℃. A certain amount of phenol groups was found in the liquid products, which may be used to produce high-valued fine chemicals. The FTIR analyses of the coal and chars show that aliphatic structures in the chars are gradually replaced by aromatic structures with the increasing of pyrolysis temperature and coal particle size. The results of this study provide fundamental data and optimal conditions to maximize light oils yields for the coal topping process.展开更多

In this study, we isolated a chalcone synthase, named NtCHS6, from Nicotiana tabacum. This synthase shared high homology with the NSCHSL (Y14507) gene and contained most of the conserved active sites that are in CHS proteins. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that NtCHS6 protein shared a large genetic distance with other Solanaceae CHS proteins and was the most closely-related to an uncharacterized CHS from Solanum lycopersicum. The expression analysis indicated that NtCHS6 was abundantly expressed in leaves, especially in mature leaves. By scrutinizing its upstream promoter sequences, multiple cis-regulatory elements involved in light and drought responsive were detected. Furthermore, NtCHS6 expression decreased significantly under dark treatment and increased significantly under drought stress suggested that NtCHS6 expression exhibited both light responsiveness and drought responsiveness, and important roles in ultraviolet protection and drought tolerance.
