亚高山湖泊天才湖周边土壤腐殖酸的光降解研究

溶解性有机质(DOM)是湖泊生态系统的物质循环和能量流动的基础.典型亚高山湖泊DOM的主要来源为流域土壤腐殖酸(外源DOM),其具有较强的光吸收特性,光降解是其重要的转化过程,从而改变碳、氮、磷等物质的存在形式.在气候变暖的背景下,亚高山湖泊中DOM的浓度、pH、溶解氧及太阳辐射都可能发生变化;但这些环境变化对亚高山湖泊DOM光降解过程的影响尚不够清楚.由此本文研究了亚高山湖泊--天才湖(树线下200 m)周边土壤提取的腐殖酸(THA)的光降解过程:首先考察在光源为500 W汞灯、不通气以及pH=8.0条件下THA的降解过程中DOC浓度、有色溶解性有机质(CDOM,以a_(280)表征)和荧光溶解性有机质(FDOM)的变化,其后定性比较、定量分析不同光降解条件(pH、载气和光照波段)对THA的光降解过程的影响.结果表明,THA含有4种荧光组分,其中C1~C3均为类腐殖质,占总荧光强度83.64%,C4占比16.36%,为类蛋白质物质.在500 W汞灯的照射下,THA分子量逐渐降低,10 h后DOC浓度降低44.5%,a_(280)随光照时间的增加逐渐减少,CDOM含量较初始大幅度下降;而FDOM(以荧光组分强度表示)总体趋势表现为先增加后下降.相对于弱碱性的环境(pH=8.0),弱酸性环境(pH=6.0)更有利于THA的光化学过程.氧气的存在很大程度上促进了DOM光化学转化过程,通入空气的条件下a_(280)的降解速率是氮气条件下的3.25倍.在不同光波段的实验下表明,可见光和紫外光对THA降解的贡献差异较大,紫外光波段的表观光子降解率(η)约为可见光的5~11倍.结果表明在气候变化背景下,亚高山湖泊中DOM的光化学降解将可能加快,亚高山湖泊在碳循环中的作用可能增强.

UV enhanced gas–solid synthesis of chlorinated poly vinyl chloride characterized by a UV–Vis online analysis method

Dynamic characteristics of UV enhanced gas–solid PVC chlorination process were revealed by a UV–Vis spectral online analysis method. Experimental results showed an instantaneous increase of the chlorination rate as soon as UV light was affiliated, which demonstrated the intensified effect of UV radiation on PVC chlorination directly.Different affiliation methods of UV light were then studied, proving that continuous UV radiation could enhance the chlorination process significantly while intermittent UV radiation was able to initiate the chlorination reaction once it was conducted. Besides, experiments were carried out to study the influences of parameters on the chlorination process such as UV wavelength, chlorination temperature, partial pressure of chlorine gas and PVC raw materials. Among all the parameters, chlorination temperature and partial pressure of chlorine gas were testified as two key factors to determine the chlorination performance. Thermal analysis of CPVC products showed that their corresponding properties such as the glass transition temperature(Tg) and the homogeneity of chlorine distribution in polymer phase were improved with the increase of chlorine content.

Spectroscopic Studies of the Interaction of Silver Nanoparticles with Methylene Blue

The interaction between silver nanoparticles and Methylene Blue （MB） is studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spec- trometry. The UV-Vis absorption of the silver nanoparticles changes dramatically with the addition of MB. However, no obvious changes of absorption spectra of MB are observed when silver colloids are added into the MB solution. In the presence of surfactant SDS, the catalysis of the silver nanoparticles in the reduction of MB by sodium borohydride is exhibited by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrosopy of MB displaying faster response compared with the absence of the silver nanoparticles. The results show that the activity of surfactant SDS modified silver nanoparticles is great and a strong physical adsorption to MB exists.

Carbonaceous catalysts are potential alternatives to metal catalysts. Graphene has been paid much attention for its high surface area and light weight. Here, hydrogenated graphene has been prepared by a simple gamma ray irradiation of graphene oxide aqueous suspension at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopic, element analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer studies verified the hydrogenation of graphene. The as-prepared hydrogenated graphene can be used as a metal-free carbonaceous catalyst for the Fenton-like degradation of organic dye in water.

Preparation and infrared emissivities of alkali metal doped ZnO powders

Alkali metal(Li, Na, K) doped ZnO powders were synthesized by solid-state reaction at different calcination temperatures and holding time. Effects of holding time and K sources on the infrared emissivity of ZnO were investigated. The structure and surface morphologies of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The UV-Vis absorption and infrared emissivities were investigated by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and an infrared emissometer, respectively. XRD patterns confirm the wurtzite structure of the as prepared samples with single phase. Smooth grain surfaces are detected in all doped ZnO samples, while ZnO:Li and ZnO:Na present the aggregation of grains. The redshifts in the optical band-gap are observed in K-, Na-, and Li-doped ZnO with the values 3.150, 3.144, and 3.142 eV. Due to better crystalline quality, ZnO:K shows a lower emissivity than others. The emissivity of K-doped ZnO decreases to the minimum value(0.804), at 1200 °C and holding 2 h. Compared with KNO3 as K source, K2CO3 doped ZnO has lower emissivities.

LO-RAY-LIGH@ Diffraction Gratings in UV-VIS Spectroscopy

It has been more than half a century since the release of the first Shimadzu UV-VIS （UV-visible） spectrophotometer QB-50 in 1952, and during this time more than 160,000 UV-VIS spectrometers have been produced and installed in a wide variety of different applications. A lot of technical innovations have been implemented to improve the performance and significantly reduce the stray light levels. The latest innovation during development of sophisticated spectrophotometers is based on a new holographic exposure method and optimized etching process which has made it possible to produce both high-efficient and exceptionally low stray light gratings. These LO-RAY-LIGH~ gratings have guaranteed values of stray light at the intermediate position between zero-order and first-order lights. The values are measured by Shimadzu＇s laser stray-light-measuring system. The latest development in the series of UV-VIS spectrophotometers is the UV-2700 which is a true double beam double monochromator system in a compact design for high-precision spectral analysis of a wide range of samples including organic and inorganic compounds, biological samples, optical materials and photovoltaics. The high performance optical system is designed with ＂LO-RAY-LIGH＂ diffraction gratings, featuring highest efficiency and exceptionally low stray light. The spectrophotometer operates in the wavelength range from 185 nm to 900 nm and allows highly sophisticated applications such as direct measurement of high density samples up to 8 absorbance units without dilution.

The composites calcined at 500 and 600 ℃ exhibit the best photocatalytic performance, and the phenol degradation ratios reacting for 40 and 160 rain reach 35% and 78% respectively under the same conditions, higher than those of 29% and 76% of the Degussa P25（TiO2）. The ability of TiO2/BTs500 （BTs500 represents bauxite-tailings calcined at 500 ℃） composites to degrade phenol increases with decreasing pH.

Flotation separation of arsenopyrite from several sulphide minerals with organic depressants

In this paper, the separation of arsenopyrite from chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena with organic depressants （guergum and sodium humic ） was discussed, and the functioning mechanism of those organic depressants was discussed. The experimental results of monomineral flotation indicated that both guergum and sodium humic have depressing effect on arsenopyrite in the presence of ethyl xanthate. Guergum and sodium humic showed different depressing ability to pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena, and the higher the pH value in pulp, the stronger the depressing ability. Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometric study showed that the adsorption layer of xanthate on surface of minerals had been desorhed by the two organic depressants, and the selective desorption of the collector layer was found from different minerals. The xanthate cover on minerals surface was set free when dosage of the organic depressants was high enough. For artificially-mixed minerals, the separation of arsenopyrite from other sulphides was successfully realized by controlling dosage of the organic depressants. And sodium humic had been concentrates in a commercial Lead-Zinc concentrator.

The optimum combination was 0.1% FeSO4, 0.2% ZnSO4, 0.3% MnSO4, and 0.4% CuSO4. It could improve flavonoids content up to 1.619 4%.

Efficacy of Photogem（Hematoporphyrin Derivative） as a Photoactivatable Larvicide against Aedes aegypti （Diptera： Culicidae） Larvae

Dengue vector is responsible for millions of deaths every year and has caused disastrous impacts on health systems. The continuous use of chemical insecticides, such as carbamates, pyrethroids and organophosphates generates resistant populations of the mosquito, therefore, new control methods must be investigated. The joint action of the population and guidelines for preventing the reproduction of the mosquito associated with the use of photoactivatable insecticides can be the alternative for the control of epidemiological outbreaks in affected regions. In this study, the photo-larvicidal activity of Photogem^（PG）, a derivative of hematoporphyrin, was investigated against 2nd-early 3rd instar of Aedes aegypti larvae （Diptera： Culicidae） under different lighting conditions （artificial lighting system and sunlight）. The dynamics of PG accumulation was characterized by CLSM （confocal laser scanning microscopy） and total time PG eliminationin solution was investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. The maximum photo-activity of PG was observed in 0.5 h under sunlight exposure which achieved 100% larval mortality. Fluorescence images showed a uniform distribution of PG along the digestive tract. PG remained stable in the sunlight for 48 h and in an artificial lighting system for longer periods, therefore, it can be used for the control ofAedes aegypti larvae as a new alternative to chemical insecticides. The method is considered environmentally friendly due to its rapid degradation in the presence of light. Further studies are required, so that the potential of the technique can be explored in real breeding places.

Study on the ultraviolet-visible spectral feature of tobacco leaves by pattern recognition

In order to differentiate regions, varieties, and parts of tobacco leaves, two pattern recognition methods through pattern classification modeling were developed based on the comprehensive information of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy （UV-VIS） by employing one-way analysis of variance （ANOVA1） and wave range random combination （WRRC） technology from MATLAB. This proposed classification method has never been reported previously and the instrument and operation for this method is much more convenient and efficient than previous reported classification methods. The result of this paper demonstrated that the spectral features extracted by ANOVAI and WRRC methods could be used to differentiate tobacco leaves with different patterns. The ANOVAI method had a training recognition rate range of 75.00-87.50%,4 and a validation recognition rate range of 57.14-100%. The WRRC method had a training recognition rate range of 75.00-94.12% and a validation recognition rate range of 66.67-100%. The ANOVAI method is more convenient and efficient in model developing, while the WRRC method utilizes fewer model variables and is more robust.
