Measurement of atmospheric ·OH is very difficult because of its high reactivity and low atmospheric abundance. In this article, a simple and highly sensitive method, high performance liquid chromatography coupled with coulometric detection (HPLC-CD), was developed to determine ·OH indirectly by determining its reaction products with salicylic acid (SAL), 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA), and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA). Under the optimum conditions for its determination, 2,3-DHBA and 2,5-DHBA could be well separated and the detection limits for 2,3-DHBA were 3 ×10^-10 mol/L and for 2,5-DHBA were 1.5 ×10^-10 mol/L, which were lower than most previous reports. This method was also applied to measure atmospheric hydroxyl radical levels and demonstrated the feasibility in clean and polluted air.展开更多

The amount of hydroxyl radicals generated at the electrodes prepared by the above-mentioned two methods was compared with that at the electrodes mingled with Bi or La prepared by electro-deposition. The experimental results indicate that the highest concentration of hydroxyl radicals generated by thermal-deposition, electro-deposition mingled with nothing, electro-deposition mingled with Bi or La was 0.781, 1.048, 1.838 or 2.044 μmol/L, respectively. When phenol was electrolyzed on the four electrodes at a current density of 30 mA/cm2, the removal efficiency of phenol after electrolysis for 1.5 h was 87.30%, 93.55%, 97.95% or 98.70%, TOC removal efficiency after electrolysis for 5 h was 86.76%, 94.26%, 98.53% or 99.60%, respectively. Through the degradation experiments of phenol, the amount of hydroxyl radicals was responsible for the removal efficiency of phenol. The electro-catalytic characteristics were investigated by SEM, the generation amount of hydroxyl radicals, the degradation degree of phenol and the stability and conductivity of the electrodes were also investigated. The experimental results indicate that the four electrodes all show good electro-catalytic characteristics; the electro-catalytic characteristics of the electrode mingled with La were superior to those of the other three ones, and the electrochemical degradation of phenol followed one-step reaction dynamics.展开更多

The potential energy surface has been given according to the relative energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level after the spin projection (PMP2). Five reaction channels were identified and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding was observed in some transition state structures. The barrier heights and reaction enthalpies calculated for all possible channels show that the hydrogen abstraction channel is predominant kinetically and thermodynamically.

The surface morphology of Al2O3 dielectric layer was analysed using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), where the size of Al2O3 particles was in the range of 2 μm to 5 μm. At the same time, the biochemical effect of hydroxyl radicals on the introduced organisms and the quality of ship's ballast water were studied. The results indicate that the main reasons of cell death are lipid peroxide and damage of the antioxidant enzyme system in Catalase (CAT), Peroxidase (POD) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Hydroxyl radical directly attacks organic contaminants to make them oxidized. In the present paper, 2-naphthylamine is eventually degraded into hydrogen carbonate and carbon dioxide. The degradation process is analyzed by using an Ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). It is demonstrated that 2-naphthylamine (co =30 mg·1-1) is completely converted within 2h at 30℃ and 600 V by glow discharge electrolysis, and the degradation is strongly dependent upon the presence of ferrous ions. COD is ascended in the absence of ferrous ions and descended in the presence of them.展开更多

In this study, salicylic acid was employed as an innovative molecular probe of hydroxyl radical(OH) generated in aqueous nitrate and nitrite solutions through photochemical reactions. Kinetic studies showed that the steady-state concentrations of OH in aqueous NO- 3(10 mmol/L, pH=5) and NO- 2(10 mmol/L, pH=5) solutions under ultraviolet irradiation were at a same magnitude, 10 -15 mol/L. Apparent quantum yields of OH at 313 nm were measured as 0.011 and 0.07 for NO- 3 and NO- 2 respectively, all comparable to the results of previous studies.展开更多

Fe (phen)3^2+ can be oxidized to o-phenanthroline-Fe(Ⅲ)(Fe(phen)3^3+) by strong oxidization of hydroxyl radicals(·OH). Then the cumulate concentration of hydroxyl radicals can be calculated through determining the change of the Fe(phen)3^3+ absorbency at 509 nm. In addition, the research results showed the production rate of hydroxyl radicals was affected obviously by pH of solution, the cumulate concentration of hydroxyl radicals was the largest at nearby the initial pH 6.3 (isoelectric point), and the change direction of pH after illumination tended to nearby isoelectric point.展开更多

Water was injected into the discharge region through the discharge nozzle electrode, and a large amount of fine water drops, formed and distributed in the discharge region, corona discharge was more effective to generate were observed. It was found that negative DC the hydroxyl radicals in comparison to positive DC corona discharge or negative pulsed discharge. A larger outer diameter of the nozzle electrode or a stronger electric field is beneficial for hydroxyl-radical generation. Moreover, there is a critical value in the flow rate of atomized water against the discharge voltage. Below this critical value, hydroxyl-radical generation increases with the increase in flow rate of the water, while above this value, it decreases. In addition, it is observed that OES from the discharge is mainly in the ultraviolet domain. The results are helpful in the study of the mechanism and application of plasma in pollution-control in either air or water.展开更多

All bond dissociation enthalpies were computed at the same theoretical level. It was found that hydrogen abstraction pathway is the most favorable. There are two hydrogen abstraction pathways with activation barriers of 0.630 and 4.988 kJ/mol, respectively, while chlorine abstraction pathway was not found. It was observed that activation energies have a more reasonable correlation with the reaction enthalpy changes (ΔHr) than with bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE).展开更多

文摘The aim of the present work is to quantitatively measure the hydroxyl radical concentration by using LIF(laserinduced fluorescence) in flame.The detailed physical models of spectral absorption lineshape broadening,collisional transition and quenching at elevated pressure are built.The fine energy level structure of the OH molecule is illustrated to understand the process with laser-induced fluorescence emission and others in the case without radiation,which include collisional quenching,rotational energy transfer(RET),and vibrational energy transfer(VET).Based on these,some numerical results are achieved by simulations in order to evaluate the fluorescence yield at elevated pressure.These results are useful for understanding the real physical processes in OH-LIF technique and finding a way to calibrate the signal for quantitative measurement of OH concentration in a practical combustor.

文摘The reaction mechanism of 1-chloroethane with hydroxyl radical has been investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) method. All bond dissociation enthalpies were computed at the same theoretical level. It was found that hydrogen abstraction pathway is the most favorable. There are two hydrogen abstraction pathways with activation barriers of 0.630 and 4.988 kJ/mol, respectively, while chlorine abstraction pathway was not found. It was observed that activation energies have a more reasonable correlation with the reaction enthalpy changes (ΔHr) than with bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE).
文摘Water-soluble b-alanine C60 adducts were synthesized, and the scavenging ability to superoxygen anion radical O2- and hydroxyl radical.OH were studied by autoxidation of pyrogallol and chemiluminescence, respectively. It was found thatβ-alanine C60 adducts showed an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) for superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical were 0.15 mg/mL and 0.048 mg/mL, respectively. The difference should be mainly attributed to the different scavenging mechanisms.

文摘Hydroxylation of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and 3-NT containing peptide Gly-nitroTyr-Gly in aqueous solution by hydroxyl radical were investigated with gamma irradiation. The structures of the hydroxylated products were confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and ^1H NMR spectrometry. The reactivity of 3-nitrotyrosine has been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculation.
