The effects of Fe3+ concentration and redox potential on chemical leaching of sphalerite were investigated. The shrinking core model was applied to analyze the experimental results. It was found that both the Fe3+ concentration and the redox potential controlled the chemical leaching rate of sphalerite. A new kinetic model was developed, in which the chemical leaching rate of sphalerite was proportional to Fe3+ concentration and Fe3+ /Fe2+ ratio. All the model parameters were evaluated from the experimental data. The model predictions fit well with the experimental observed values.展开更多

Energies and structures for all reactants, products and transition states were determined. Two reaction pathways involving the formation of the complexes CH2CHCHFCH2 and CH2CHCHCH2F were found in this reaction. Theoretical results suggest that the H atom channel observed in previous crossed beam experiment occurs likely via these two long-lived complex formation pathways. For the complex CH2CHCHFCH2 pathway, another reaction channel (C2H3+C2H3F) is also accessible. Relative importance of the C2H3+C2H3F channel versus the H formation channel via the same reaction pathway has also been estimated, suggesting that it would be difficult to observe the C2H3+C2H3F channel in a crossed molecular beam experiment. Theoretical analysis also shows that the HF formation proceeds via direct abstraction mechanisms, though it is likely a minor process in this reaction.展开更多

It was considered that the pores of catalyst pellets were full of liquid wax under Fischer-Tropsch synthesis conditions. The re- actants diffused from the bulk gas phase to the external surface of the pellet, and then the reactants diffused through the wax inside the pellet and reacted on the internal surface formed along the pore passages of the pellet. On the basis of reaction kinetics and double a-ASF product distribution model, a diffusion and reaction model of catalyst pellet was established. The effects of diffusion and reaction interaction in a catalyst pellet, the bulk temperature, the reaction pressure and the pellet size on the reactivity were further investigated. The relationship between the internal diffusion effectiveness factor of spherical catalyst pellet and the Thiele modulus were also discussed. The bulk temperature and pellet size have significant effects on the reactivity, while the pressure shows only a slight influence on the reactivity. The internal diffusion effectiveness factor decreases with an increasing Thiele modulus.展开更多

The values of the parameters referred to dynamic kinetics were estimated by fitting the solution of the ODEs with the transient response data obtained by the stimulus-response technique with a FTIR analyzer as an on-line detector.展开更多

We here present a study of hydrogen and its deuterated molecules dissociation on Pd surfaces based on a full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) constructed by using a simple second moment approximation reactive force field (SMA RFF). Although the descriptions of the adsorbate-substrate interaction contain only the dissociation reaction of H2/Pd(111) system, a good transferability of SMA potential energy surface (PES) is shown to investigate the hydrogen dissociation on Pd(100). Our simulation results show that, the dissociation probabilities of H2 and its deuterated molecules on Pd(111) and Pd(100) surfaces keep non-monotonous variations with respect to the incident energy Ei, which is in good agreement with the previous ab initio molecular dynamics. Furthermore, for the oriented molecules, the dissociation probabilities of the oriented H2 (D2 and T2) molecule have the same orientation dependence behavior as those oriented HD (HT and DT) molecules.展开更多

The main adaptations to endurance exercise include the correction of electrolyte imbalance, a decrease in glycogen storage and the increase of oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, muscle damage, and systemic inflammatory response. Adaptations to exercise might be influenced by the gut microbiota, which plays an important role in the production, storage, and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet as well as in inflammation,redox reactions, and hydration status.Methods: A systematic and comprehensive search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus, Clinical Trials.gov, Science Direct,Springer Link, and EMBASE was done. The search process was completed using the keywords: "endurance", "exercise", "immune response","microbiota", "nutrition", and "probiotics".Results: Reviewed literature supports the hypothesis that intestinal microbiota might be able to provide a measureable, effective marker of an athlete's immune function and that microbial composition analysis might also be sensitive enough to detect exercise-induced stress and metabolic disorders. The review also supports the hypothesis that modifying the microbiota through the use of probiotics could be an important therapeutic tool to improve athletes' overall general health, performance, and energy availability while controlling inflammation and redox levels.Conclusion: The present review provides a comprehensive overview of how gut microbiota may have a key role in controlling the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses as well as improving metabolism and energy expenditure during intense exercise.展开更多

Various complexforming bimolecular reactions have been investigated and interesting phenomena have been discovered. The complex-forming reactions usually have small or no barrier in the entrance channel, which leads to obvious differences in kinetic and dynamic characteristics compared with direct reactions. Theoretically, quantum state-resolved reaction dynamics can provide the most detailed microscopic dynamic mechanisms and is now feasible for a direct reaction with only one potential barrier. However, it is of great challenge to construct accurate potential energy surfaces and perform accurate quantum dynamics calculations for a complex polyatomic reaction involving deep potential wells and multi-channels. This paper reviews the most recent progress in two prototypical oxyhydrogen complex-forming reaction systems, HO2 and HO3, which are significant in combustion, atmospheric, and interstellar chemistry. We will present a brief survey of both computational and experimental work and emphasize on some unsolved problems existing in these systems.展开更多

文摘Developing a widely-used reactive force field is meaningful to explore the fundamental reaction mechanism on gas-surface chemical reaction dynamics due to its very high computational efficiency. We here present a study of hydrogen and its deuterated molecules dissociation on Pd surfaces based on a full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) constructed by using a simple second moment approximation reactive force field (SMA RFF). Although the descriptions of the adsorbate-substrate interaction contain only the dissociation reaction of H2/Pd(111) system, a good transferability of SMA potential energy surface (PES) is shown to investigate the hydrogen dissociation on Pd(100). Our simulation results show that, the dissociation probabilities of H2 and its deuterated molecules on Pd(111) and Pd(100) surfaces keep non-monotonous variations with respect to the incident energy Ei, which is in good agreement with the previous ab initio molecular dynamics. Furthermore, for the oriented molecules, the dissociation probabilities of the oriented H2 (D2 and T2) molecule have the same orientation dependence behavior as those oriented HD (HT and DT) molecules.

文摘Mg-x(Ti0.9 Zr0.2 Mn1.5 Cr0.3)(x=20%,30%,40%) (mass fraction) composite powders were prepared by reactive ball milling with hydrogen and their hydrogen storage properties and microstructure were investigated by XRD,SEM and pressure-composition-temperature measurement.The results show that the composites have 3.83%-5.07%hydrogen capacity at 553 K and good hydrogenation kinetics,even at room temperature.Among them,the milled Mg-30%(Ti0.9Zr0.2Mn1.5Cr0.3)composite has the highest hydrogenation kinetics as it can quickly absorb 2.1%hydrogen at 373 K,3.5%in 2 000 s at 473 K,even 3.26%in 60 s at 553 K under 3 MPa hydrogen pressure.The improved hydrogenation properties come from the catalytic effect of Ti0.9 Zr0.2 Mn1.5 Cr0.3 particles dispersed uniformly on the surface of Mg particles.
文摘Background: The physiological and biochemical demands of intense exercise elicit both muscle-based and systemic responses. The main adaptations to endurance exercise include the correction of electrolyte imbalance, a decrease in glycogen storage and the increase of oxidative stress, intestinal permeability, muscle damage, and systemic inflammatory response. Adaptations to exercise might be influenced by the gut microbiota, which plays an important role in the production, storage, and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet as well as in inflammation,redox reactions, and hydration status.Methods: A systematic and comprehensive search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Scopus, Clinical Trials.gov, Science Direct,Springer Link, and EMBASE was done. The search process was completed using the keywords: "endurance", "exercise", "immune response","microbiota", "nutrition", and "probiotics".Results: Reviewed literature supports the hypothesis that intestinal microbiota might be able to provide a measureable, effective marker of an athlete's immune function and that microbial composition analysis might also be sensitive enough to detect exercise-induced stress and metabolic disorders. The review also supports the hypothesis that modifying the microbiota through the use of probiotics could be an important therapeutic tool to improve athletes' overall general health, performance, and energy availability while controlling inflammation and redox levels.Conclusion: The present review provides a comprehensive overview of how gut microbiota may have a key role in controlling the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses as well as improving metabolism and energy expenditure during intense exercise.

文摘Complex-forming reactions widely exist in gas-phase chemical reactions. Various complexforming bimolecular reactions have been investigated and interesting phenomena have been discovered. The complex-forming reactions usually have small or no barrier in the entrance channel, which leads to obvious differences in kinetic and dynamic characteristics compared with direct reactions. Theoretically, quantum state-resolved reaction dynamics can provide the most detailed microscopic dynamic mechanisms and is now feasible for a direct reaction with only one potential barrier. However, it is of great challenge to construct accurate potential energy surfaces and perform accurate quantum dynamics calculations for a complex polyatomic reaction involving deep potential wells and multi-channels. This paper reviews the most recent progress in two prototypical oxyhydrogen complex-forming reaction systems, HO2 and HO3, which are significant in combustion, atmospheric, and interstellar chemistry. We will present a brief survey of both computational and experimental work and emphasize on some unsolved problems existing in these systems.
