The oxidation kinetics of MC-RR by chlorine dioxide (ClO2) was studied with HPLC and characterization of the reaction products was performed with UV-spectrometry, TOC and LC-MS. Our experimental results show that the oxidation process is a second order overall and a first order with respect to ClO2 and MC-RR. The activation energy of MC-RR degradation by ClO2 is 53.07 kJ/mol. The rate constant k of the action can be increased by increasing temperature and decreasing pH value and ranged from 6.11 × 10^2 L/(mol.min) to 5.29× 10^2 L/(mol-min) at pH from 3.44 to 10.41 at 10℃. Reaction products were determined to be organic and volatile, because they could be almost removed from aqueous solution by heating for 15 min at 60 ~C. In addition, the main oxidation products have m/z values of 1072 and are identified as dihydroxy isomers of MC-RR.展开更多
We constructed two types of copper-doped metal-organic framework(MOF),i.e.,Cu@UiO-66-NH2 and Cu-UiO-66-NH2.In the former,Cu2+ions are impregnated in the pore space of the amine-functionalized,Zr-based UiO-66-NH2;while...We constructed two types of copper-doped metal-organic framework(MOF),i.e.,Cu@UiO-66-NH2 and Cu-UiO-66-NH2.In the former,Cu2+ions are impregnated in the pore space of the amine-functionalized,Zr-based UiO-66-NH2;while in the latter,Cu^2+ions are incorporated to form a bimetal-center MOF,with Zr^4+being partially replaced by Cu2+in the Zr-O oxo-clusters.Ultrafast spectroscopy revealed that the photoinduced relaxation kinetics associated with the ligand-to-cluster charge-transfer state is promoted for both Cudoped MOFs relative to undoped one,but in a sequence of Cu-UiO-66-NH2>Cu@UiO-66-NH2>UiO-66-NH2.Such a sequence turned to be in line with the trend observed in the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity tests on the three MOFs.These findings highlighted the subtle effect of copper-doping location in this Zr-based MOF system,further suggesting that rational engineering of the specific metal-doping location in alike MOF systems to promote the photoinduced charge separation and hence suppress the detrimental charge recombination therein is beneficial for achieving improved performances in MOF-based photocatalysis.展开更多
Adsorption reactions between surfaces of nanodiamond and nanosilica with diameter of 100 nm prepared as suspension solutions of 0.25μg/μL and lysozyme molecule with different concentrations of 7 mmol/L PPBS at pH=7,...Adsorption reactions between surfaces of nanodiamond and nanosilica with diameter of 100 nm prepared as suspension solutions of 0.25μg/μL and lysozyme molecule with different concentrations of 7 mmol/L PPBS at pH=7, 9, 11, and 13 have been investigated by fluores- cence spectroscopy. Adsorption reaction constants and coverages of lysozyme with different concentrations of 0-1000 nmol/L under the influences of different pH values have been ob- tained. Helicities and conformations of the adsorbed lysozyme molecules, free spaces of every adsorbed lysozyme molecule on the surfaces of nanopartieles at different concentrations and pH values have been deduced and discussed. The highest adsorption capabilities for both sys- tems and conformational efficiency of the adsorbed lysozyme molecule at pH=13 have been obtained. Lysozyme molecules can be prepared, adsorbed and carried with optimal activity and helicity, with 2 and 10 mg/m2 on unit nanosurface, 130 and 150 mg/g with respect to the weight of nanoparticle, within the linear regions of the coverages at around 150-250 nmol/L and four pH values for nanodiamond and nanosilica, respectively. They can be prepared in the tightest packed form, with 20 and 55 mg/m2, 810-1680 and 580-1100 mg/g at threshold concentrations and four pH values for nanodiamond and nanosilica, respectively.展开更多

Because of their low volatility, they associate more likely to the liquid particles in the atmosphere, where they are subject to the aqueous phase oxidation by the atmospheric oxidants. In this work, through experimental and theoretical study, we first provide the rate constants of Sob and Limo-diol reacting with hydroxyl radical (.OH) in aqueous solution at room temperature of 3044-3 K and 1 atm pressure, which are (3.05±0.5)×10 9 and (4.57±0.2)×10 9 L/(mol.s), respectively. Quantum chemistry calculations have also been employed to demonstrate the solvent effect on the rate constants in aqueous phase and the calculated results agree well with the measurements. Some reaction products have been identified based on liquid chromatography combined with mass spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.展开更多

Extremely high vacuum (-0.2 nPa) in the ionization region is obtained by using multiple ultrahigh vacuum pumps. Compared with similar instruments built previously by others~ the H2, CH4 background in the ionization region can be reduced by about two orders of magnitude, and other residual gases in the ionization region can be reduced by about an order of magnitude. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio for the temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and time of flight (TOF) spectra is substantially enhanced, making experimental studies of pho- tocatalytic processes on surfaces much easier. In this work, we describe the new apparatus in detail and present some preliminary studies on the photo-induced oxygen vacancy defects on TiO2(110) at 266 nm by using the TPD and TOF methods. Preliminary results suggest that the apparatus is a powerful tool for studying kinetics and mechanism of photochemical processes.展开更多

The accumulation of these pollutants under stagnant meteorological conditions results in the formation of gray haze, reducing visibility and causing major impacts on human health and climate. In an air pollution complex, the co- existence of high concentrations of primary and secondary gaseous and particulate pollutants provides a large amount of reac- tants for heterogeneous reactions on the surface of fine particles; these reactions change the oxidizing capacity of the atmos- phere, as well as chemical compositions along with the physicochemical and optical properties of particulate matter, thereby accelerating formation of the air pollution complex and gray haze. Using in situ technologies, such as diffuse reflectance infra- red Fourier-transform spectroscopy and single-particle Raman spectroscopy, we systematically investigated the reaction kinet- ics and mechanisms of gaseous pollutants (i.e., NO2, SO2, 03, and formaldehyde) on the surfaces of the major components of atmospheric particles such as CaCO3, kaolinite, montmorillonite, NaC1, sea salt, A1203, and Tit2. We found that the main re- action products were sulfate, nitrate, or formate, which can change the hygroscopicity and light extinction parameters of those particles significantly. By analyzing the reaction kinetics of these heterogeneous reactions, we identified synergetic mechanisms of the three ternary reaction systems, ,i.e., NOE-particles-H2O, SO2-particles-O3, and organics/SO2-particles-UV illumination. These synergetic mechanisms can provide experimental and theoretical bases for understanding the feedback mechanisms and nonlinear processes in the formation of an air pollution complex and gray haze.展开更多

However, less NH2) groups onto polyester materials, enabling a variety of subse- attention has been paid to the basic knowledge of aminolysis reac- tion in terms of reaction kinetics and its influences on materials properties. In this study, taking the widely used poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) as a typical example, the influences of diamines and solvent property on the surface -NH2 density are firstly assessed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and colorimetric analysis. Results show that smaller dia- mine molecules and nonpolar alcohols could accelerate the reaction. The reaction kinetics with 1,6-hexanediamine is further investigated as a function of temperature, reaction time, and diamine concentration. During the initial stage, the reaction shows a 1^st order kinetics with the diamine concentration and has an activation energy of 54.5 kJ/mol. Ionization state of the -NH2 groups on the PCL surface is determined, revealing that the pKa of -NH3^+ (〈5) is much lower than that of the corresponding diamine molecules in solution. After aminolysis, surface hydrophilicity of PCL membrane is significantly enhanced, while surface elastic modulus and average molecular weight are decreased to some extent, and others such as weight, surface mor- phology and bulk mechanical strength are not apparently changed. The introduced -NH2 groups are found to be largely lost at 37 ℃, but can be mostly maintained at low temperature.展开更多
