3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane Complexation with Iron Ion Modified Anode in Marine Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells with Enhanced Electrochemical Performance

Anode modification plays a key role in higher power output in marine sediment microbial fuel cells(MSMFCs).A low-molecular organosilicon compound(3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane)was grafted onto the surface of carbon felt using chemical method and a composite modified anode was prepared through organic ligands coordination Fe^(3+)for better electro-chemical per-formance.Results show that the biofilm resistance of the composite modified anode(2707Ω)is 1.3 times greater than that of the unmodified anode(2100Ω),and its biofilm capacitance also increases by 2.2 times,indicating that the composite modification pro-motes the growth and attachment of electroactive bacteria on the anode.Its specific capacitance(887.8 Fm^(−2))is 3.7 times higher than that of unmodified anode,generating a maximum current density of 1.5Am^(−2).In their Tafel curves,the composite modified anodic exchange current density(5.25×10^(−6)Acm^(−2))is 5.8 times bigger than that of unmodified anode,which suggests that the electro-chemical activity of redox,anti-polarization ability and electron transfer kinetic activity are significantly enhanced.The marine sediment microbial fuel cell with the composite modified anode generates the higher power densities than the blank(203.8mWm^(−2) versus 45.07mWm^(−2)),and its current also increases by 4.4 times.The free amino groups on the anode surface expands a creative idea that the modified anode ligates the natural Fe(Ⅲ)ion in sea water in the MSMFCs for its higher power output.

Synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic materials based on EA-MAn-APTES and silica

Poly (EA-MAn-APTES)/silica hybrid materials were successfully prepared fromEthyl acrylate (EA), maleic anhydride (MAn) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of acoupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES),by free-radical solution polymerization and insitu sol-gel process. The mass fraction of TEOS varied from 0 to 25%. The hybrid materials werecharacterized by the methods of FT-IR spectra, solvent extraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) andthermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measuring apparatus to get their structures, gel contents,morphologies, particle sizes and thermal performances. The results show that the covalent bonds arebetween organic and inorganic phases, gel contents in the hybrid materials are much higher, theSiO_2 phase is well dispersed in the polymer matrix, silicon dioxide exist at nanoscale in thecomposites and have excellent thermal stability.

Functionalization of diatomite with glycine and amino silane for formaldehyde removal

Two amino-functionalized diatomite(DE)composites modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTS)or glycine(GLY)(i.e.,APTS/DE and GLY/DE)were successfully synthesized via the wet chemical method for the time-and cost-efficient removal of indoor formaldehyde(HCHO).First,the optimal preparation conditions of the two composites were determined,and then their microstructures and morphologies were characterized and analyzed.Batch HCHO adsorption experiments with the two types of amino-modified DE composites were also conducted to compare their adsorption properties.Experimental results indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models could well describe the adsorption process,and the maximum adsorption capacities of APTS/DE and GLY/DE prepared under optimal conditions at 20°C were 5.83 and 1.14 mg·g^(-1),respectively.The thermodynamic parameters of the composites indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic.The abundant amine groups grafted on the surface of DE were derived from the Schiff base reaction and were essential for the high-efficient adsorption performance toward HCHO.

Surface Modification of Hollow Glass Microspheres

Hollow Glass Microspheres are high-strength, low-density additives made from water resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime-borosilicate glass. These hollow glass microspheres offer a variety of advantages over conventional irregularly-shaped mineral fillers or glass fiber. Their spherical shape helps reduce resin content in a variety of applications. They also create a ball bearing effect that can result in higher filler loading and improved flow. In this research, amine terminated hollow glass microspheres were prepared by adopting three different routes. The results were investigated using FT-IR and SEM to establish the formation of amine groups and observe the morphological structure of the modified HGMs. The results obtained were used to select a suitable less toxic and environmental friendly modification method based on the chemicals used.

Preparation Procedure of Liposome-Absorbed Substrate and Tip Shape Correction of Diameters of Liposome Measured by AFM

The procedure to measure liposome in aqueous solution has been examined using atomic force microscope (AFM). We concluded a chemical modified silicon wafer (substrate for AFM observation of liposome) with 3-aminopropyltrieth-oxysilane (APTES) which enabled us to scan anionic liposome softly in water because they were keeping structures as vesicles and stably adsorbed on the substrate by electrostatic force. From captured AFM topographic images, we counted the amount of liposome and analyzed the distribution of mean diameters, which were corrected by an approximated curve of the tip shape. We discussed the method of effective evaluation as practical analysis and its problems for robust analysis.

Efficient capture of aqueous humic acid using a functionalized stereoscopic porous activated carbon based on poly(acrylic acid)/food-waste hydrogel

Stereoscopic porous carbons have shown good potential in humic acid(HA) removal. In this work, a novel stereoscopic porous activated carbon(SPAC) was designed and synthesized via the self-assembly of a hydrogel based on food waste during in-situ polymerization, vacuum drying, carbonization, and activation. Then, the SPAC was functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) and the adsorption behavior of the modified SPAC(SPAC-NH_2) was studied systematically. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of HA, and adsorbent dose were investigated, showing that optimal HA removal efficiency(>98.0%) could be achieved at an initial HA concentration of 100 mg/L. The experimental adsorption isotherm data was fitted to the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 156.0 mg HA/g SPAC-NH_2. Analysis of the mechanism indicated that the removal of HA was mainly realized through the amidization reaction between the \COOH groups of HA and the \NH_2 groups of APTES. All of the above results showed that SPAC-NH_2 powder is an efficient,eco-friendly, and reusable adsorbent which is suitable for the removal of HA from wastewater.
