Liquid-liquid extraction reaction mechanisms were proposed and the stoichiometry of tetrachloroferrate(III) complex with lithium was obtained by regressing the experimental data. It is found that the stoichiometry of tetrachloroferrate(III) to lithium in the complex is 1 : 1 with either TBP or MIBK as extractant in kerosene. The stoichiometry of the complex of TBP with Li was 1 : 1 and that of MIBK with Li was 2 : 1. The formed complexes of TBP and MIBK with lithium are determined to be LiFeCla-TBP and LiFeC14.2MIBK, respectively, according to the rule of neutralization.展开更多

According to the traditional aqueous silicate method, silicomolybdenum blue formed by the reaction between silicate and ammoni- um molydate and reduced by metol-sulfite reagent is extracted by methyl isobutyl ketone. The absorbance can be enhanced substantially up to 10-folds. The detection limit of silicate is 8 nmol/dm^3 , which is one tenth smaller than the traditional method, with the precision of 4.0% at a silicate level of 50 nmol/dm^3 and 3.2% at a silicate level of 6 μmol/dm^3. Comparing the calibration curves in the distilled water and seawater, it can be seen that the salt effect also exists in the extraction method. However, the salt effect is a linear function of the salinity and can be corrected by simple calibration. The proposed method is successfully applied to the determination of silicate in natural waters. Natural concentrations of arsenate, arsenite and phosphate cause negligible interference.展开更多

The effects of ...Supported nickel-based catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method for the selective hydrogenation of methyl isobutyl ketone to methyl isobutyl carbinol in a fixed-bed reactor. The effects of the nickel source,Ni loading, calcination time, and calcination temperature on the hydrogenation performance were studied. The experimental results showed that the Ni/γ-Al_2O_3 catalyst demonstrated the highest catalytic performance under the preparation conditions by using nickel nitrate as the nickel source with a NiO loading of 20%, followed by calcination at 440°C for 5h. In addition,this catalyst showed the largest specific surface area, best crystal structure, highest active component content, smallest particle size, and uniform distribution of NiO on the surface of the carrier. The nickel-based catalyst prepared using the optimized conditions exhibited a 96.1% conversion of methyl isobutyl ketone, with a methyl isobutyl carbinol selectivity of 99.6%. The described procedure is very effective for the preparation of methyl isobutyl carbinol using methyl isobutyl ketone as the feedstock.展开更多

As it has a definite solubility in water, so when using MIBK as extraction agent, there will be MIBK in stripping solutions inevitably, which not only pollutes working conditions, but also affects the quality of ultimate product. In order to remove MIBK from aqueous solutions, the means of flat vacuum membrane distillation(VMD) is studied in the paper. The area of the membrane used in the study is 0.02 m 2, the initial volume of feed is 2 L, each experiment was conducted over a time period of 60 120 min. The influences of the factors such as temperature(34.8 55.0 ℃); pressure in the permeate side(10.67 14.67 kPa) and feed flow rate(27.8 69.4 mL/s) were experimentally studied. Increasing the temperature or reducing the pressure in the permeate side results in a faster removal of MIBK; however there is a decrease in removal factor β , increasing the feed flow rate results in a faster removal of MIBK and an increase of removal factor β , especially in the range of lower flow rate. The study indicates that the aim of MIBK removal and recycle from dilute aqueous solutions can be achieved by VMD.展开更多

We study the relationship between the nature, synergy,and proximity of active sites and the catalytic performance of the multifunctional catalyst in the tandem reaction, in detail. In the existence of Lewis acid and base sites, the catalysts with medium-strength acidic/basic sites show preferred activity and/or MIBK selectivity. For multifunctional catalysts, the catalytic properties are more than just a collection of active sites, and the Pd/Mg_3Al-MMO catalyst possessing 0.1% Pd loading and ~0.4 acid/base molar ratio exhibits the optimal 42.1% acetone conversion and 37.2% MIBK yield, which is among the best reported so far for this tandem reaction under similar conditions. Moreover, the proximity test indicates that the intimate distance between acidic/basic/metallic sites can greatly shorten the diffusion time of the intermediate species from each active site, leading to an enhancement in the catalytic performance.展开更多
