The catalytic activity of the prepared mesoporous Ti-Mo mixed oxides was first evaluated for the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF), and a 50.3% yield of HMF was obtained within 60min at 120℃. Moreover, moderate yields of HMF could also be achieved from glucose and sucrose. The mesoporous catalyst could be simply separated from the reaction mixture after termination of the reaction and reused five times with no significant loss of catalytic activity.展开更多

The emulsion system is consisted of span80 [ sorbitian monooleate], paraffin oil, D2EHPA [ 2-( 2-ethylhexyl- phosphonic acid)], kerosene as well as HCl solution. The extraction under various conditions such as the span80 concentrations, the flow rate of aqueous, the extraction time and HCl concentrations in receiving phase were studied. Results show that the lower the flow rates of aqueous are, the higher the extraction percentage and enrichment-fold are, and the extraction percentage increases with the increasing of HCl concentrations. When the initial Nd^3+ concentration in feed is maintained at 1000 mg· L^-1 and the emulsion is recycled with 70 times by a counter-flow,展开更多

The products were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, TG, EDX, FT-IR and DRS. The results indicate that, with the phase transformation from anatase to rutile, the morphologies changed from high aggregated particles to nanofibers with the diameter of about 100 nm and the length up to several tens of micrometers, meanwhile the process is controllable by manipulating the nature of the alkali, alkalinity and hydrothermal temperature. DRS analysis shows the property improvement of the nanofibers in the UV-Vis light absorption compared with the raw materials, implying the products have potential application in photocatalysis.展开更多

It is suggested that inadequate or overaddition of deionization buffers can lead to loss of sensitivities under particular operating conditions. In the analysis of brine samples, signal enhancing and oxide/hydroxide formation inducing signal reduction resulting from overaddition of deionization buffers can be seen with varying amounts of chemical buffers. Based on experimental results, the authors have arrived at the optimized operating conditions for the detection of lithium, under which both ionization and stable compound formation can be suppressed. This is a simplified and quick method with adequate accuracy and precision for the determination of lithium in routine brine samples from chemical plants or R&D laboratories, which contain comparable amounts of lithium with some other components.展开更多

The influencing factors, such as amount of catalyst, reaction time and molar ratio of acid to methanol, were investigated. The results indicated that the ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyst showed high catalytic activity, and gave a 97.0% methyl laurate conversion rate under the following optimized conditions, viz.: a lauric acid/methanol molar ratio of 1:10, a catalyst dosage of 4%, and a reaction duration of 2 h at methanol refluxing temperature. The catalyst could be easily recovered while its activity could be well retained after three cycles. The ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyst also exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the esterification of different free long-chain fatty acids(including nonedible oils with high acid value) with different short carbon chain alcohols. Therefore, the ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyst has good potential for the synthesis of biodiesel from low-cost feedstocks such as waste vegetable oils and non-edible oils.展开更多
