Based on our previous work using anhydrous AlCl3 as catalyst, [bupy]BF4-AlCl3 ionic liquids were employed to catalyze the reaction of 1,3-pentadiene with toluene. The experimental results show that [bupy]BF4-AlCl3 ionic liquids are suitable for the reaction especially when the molar ratio of AlCl3 to [bupy]BF4 is 1.75 ： 1, and the reaction could proceed at the temperature as low as 0℃. It could be as active as pure AlCl3, but much more environmentally friendly.展开更多

The surface and section morphologies of the multi-layer films were observed by a scanning electron microscope （SEM）. It is found that the resistance of the sensor increases when it is exposed to toluene vapor and the response has a good linearity with the concentration of toluene. The results show that the P4VP/MWNTs three-layer film sensors have better sensing properties compared with the two-layer film sensors. The related sensing mechanism is studied in detail.展开更多

The reaction conditions were studied and optimized. A tracking research on the polymerization process of TDI was taken by using the GPC. The formation processes of the terpolymer, oligomers and higher-polymers were also dealt with. Results show that the TDI terpolymer can be prepared in the presence of Cat-3 catalyst and at the reaction temperature of （60 ±2）℃. The reaction time is short, its outcomes have narrow molecular weights distribution, namely molecular weights from 530 to 550, Mw/Mn =1.10, and the mass fraction of NCO is （25. 0 ± 0. 5）%. With the reaction time prolonging, however, TDI can be further higher-polymedzed to form higher-polymers. Benzoyl chloride （0. 4%, mass fraction）, as the stabilizing agent, can effectively inhibit the occurrence of higher-polymerization. The obtained TDI terpolymer can be stable for more than half a year.展开更多

The adsorbents were characterized by XRD, XRF and pyridine infrared spectrum （IR）. The adsorption experiments show that the desulfurization performance of Ce（IV）Y is much better than that of NaY. The sulfur removal over both NaY and Ce（IV）Y decreases with the increase of toluene concentration in MG, however, the decline tendency on Ce（IV）Y is smooth, and it is steep on NaY. FT-IR spectra of thiophene adsorption indicate that thiophene molecules are mainly adsorbed on NaY via π electron interaction, but on Ce（IV）Y, in addition to the π electron interaction, both Ce^4＋-S direct interaction and protonation of thiophene also play important roles. Toluene molecules are adsorbed on NaY also via π electron interaction. Although the amount of Bronsted acid sites is increased due to the introduction of Ce^4＋ ions into NaY zeolite, it is not found to influence the adsorption mode of toluene over Ce（IV）Y. Compared with NaY zeolite, the improved desulfurization performance over Ce（IV）Y for removing organic sulfur compounds from MG solution, especially those containing large amount of aromatics, may be ascribed to the direct Ce（IV）-S interaction, which is much resistant to the influence resulted from toluene adsorption.展开更多
