The prepared sulfonated cata-lyst (SC) had aromatic structure, composed of carbon enriched inner core, and oxygen-containing (SO3H, COOH, OH) groups enriched surface. The SO3H, COOH, OH groups amounted to 0.74 mmol·g^-1, 0.78 mmol·g^-1, 2.18 mmol·g^-1, respectively. The fresh SC showed much higher catalytic activity than that of the traditional solid acid catalysts (strong^-acid 732 cation exchange resin, hydrogen type zeolite socony mobile-five (HZSM-5), sulfated zir-conia) in esterification of oleic acid. SC was deactivated during the reactions, through the mechanisms of leaching of sulfonated species and formation of sulfonate esters. Two regeneration methods were developed, and the catalytic activity can be mostly regenerated by regeneration Method 1 and be fully regenerated by regeneration Method 2, respectively.展开更多

The results indicate that in inert atmosphere, stibnite can be volatilized most efficiently as Sb2S3(g) at a linear rate below850 °C, with activation energy of 137.18 k J/mol, and the reaction rate constant can be expressed as k=206901exp(-16.5/T). Stibnite can be decomposed into Sb and sulfur at temperature above 850 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. However, in the presence of oxygen,stibnite is oxidized into Sb and SO2 gas at high temperature. Otherwise, Sb is oxidized quickly into antimony oxides such as Sb2O3 and Sb O2, while Sb2O3 can be volatilized efficiently at high temperature.展开更多

Methods: Animal models were established by transplanting H22 hepatoma cells to the left oxter of mice, and ten days later they were randomly divided into five groups: blank control group (edible oil), positive control group (HCFU) and Tagalsin group, including low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose group. All mice were killed 24 h after medication, during which observation was conducted concerning survival conditions, body weight changes, spleen weight and tumor weight of tumor-bearing mice; the spleen index and the tumor inhibitor rate (IR) were calculated and pathological changes of tumor-bearing mice were observed by HE dye. Apoptosis factors p53 and Survivin mRNA were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Tagalsin can inhibit hepatoma growth effectively without influencing spleen index and body weight, the tumor inhibitor rate (IR) of low, middle and high dose group of Tagalsin were 15.81%, 36.75% and 74.79% respectively, the tumor inhibitor rate (IR) of HCFU were 73.93%. Apoptosis cells could be found from the specimen of the positive control group and Tagalsin groups. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results showed that positive control group’s and Tagalsin treatment groups’ p53 gene expression enhanced significantly and Survivin gene expression dropped comparing with blank group (P 0.05). Conclusion: Tagalsin can inhibit growth of the H22 hepatoma cells significantly, the mechanism of anti-tumor effect may work by up-regulating p53 expression and down-regulating Survivin expression. Tagalsin may be considered as a potential candidate for chemoprevention.展开更多

Due to an increasing share of fluctuating renewable energies in the power grid(especially from wind and solar power), flexible power generation is of increasing importance. Additionally, with an increasing share of agricultural and municipal waste in biogas production, biogas composition is expected to be within a broader range. In this paper, the combustion of synthetic biogas(carbon dioxide and methane) in a combustion test rig with a swirl burner and a high pressure optical chamber is researched at different conditions. Results are compared to a CHEMKIN-PRO simulation using a detailed reaction mechanism. The results show that within the researched experimental matrix, stable biogas combustion for gas turbines can be achieved even with significantly changing gas composition and nominal power. Carbon dioxide concentration is varied from 0 to 60%. CO concentrations(normalized to 15% O_2) in the flue gas do not change significantly with increasing carbon dioxide in the fuel gas and, for the researched conditions, stayed below 10 ppm. NO_x concentration is below 10 ppm(normalized to 15% O_2) for pure methane, and is further decreasing with increasing carbon dioxide share in the fuel gas, which is mainly due to changing reaction paths as reaction analysis showed. Thermal load of the combustor is varied from 100% to 20% for the reference gas composition. With decreasing thermal load, normalized carbon monoxide flue gas concentration is further reduced, while NOx concentrations are remaining at a similar level around 5 ppm(normalized to 15% O_2).展开更多
