氧化物水化物酸碱性强弱的规律

氧化物水化物的酸碱性与其结构和溶剂性质有关。氧化物水化物的酸碱性强弱主要决定于中心原子R的有效电负性。中心原子R的有效电负性越大,羟基上氧的电子云被R吸引越强,R—O键越牢固,O—H健越易断裂,水化物越易按酸式电离,其酸性就越强。

Antioxidant enzyme activities in different genders and tissues of amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense

Information regarding antioxidant enzymes in amphioxus remains lacking, and this study was carried out to examine the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in different genders and tissues of amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense. Results show that (1) CuZn-SOD, CAT and GPX activities in the whole amphioxus B. belcheri tsing- tauense were basically at the same levels in male and female amphioxus, whereas both T-SOD and Mn-SOD activities in male amphioxus were significantly higher than that in the female (P<0.05); (2) The testis had significantly higher T-SOD and CuZn-SOD activities than the ovary (P<0.05); (3) CuZn-SOD activity was undetectable in the guts of male and female amphioxus; (4) For both male and female am- phioxus, the activities of CAT and GPX in the gonads including testis and ovary were the lowest (P<0.05) among the tissues examined; (5) The gut and gill had the same level GPX activities while the gut had a higher CAT activity; (6) There was no clear difference in CAT and GPX activities in the corresponding tissues between male and female amphioxus. The study on SOD, CAT and GPX activities in different genders and tissues of the protochordate provides data for future comparison of amphioxus antioxidant enzymes with those of invertebrates and vertebrates.

Catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide over modified coal-based activated carbons by loading metal

A novel type of metal oxide/activated carbon catalyst was prepared by sol-gel method for the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide （COS）. The influences of the calcination temperature, additive content （2.5%-10.0% Fe2O3, mass fraction） and the basic density of the activation process were thoroughly investigated. The surface of catalysts was characterized by Boehm titration. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results show that catalysts with 2.5%-5.0% Fe2O3 after calcining at 500 ℃ have superior activity. The conversion rate of COS increases with increasing the relative density of basic capacity loaded onto activated carbon（AC）, and the activity follows the order： KOH〉Na2CO3 〉NaHCO3. Boehm titration data clearly show that the total acidity increases （from 0.06 to 0.48 mmol/g） and the basic groups decrease （from 0.78 to 0.56 mmol/g） after COS hydrolysis and H2S adsorption. The XPS results show that the product of HzS may be absorbed by the interaction with metal compounds and 02 to form sulfate （171.28 eV） and element sulfur （164.44 eV）, which lead to catalysts poisoning.

Studies on the Effects on Growth and Antioxidant Responses of Two Marine Microalgal Species to Uniconazole

Uniconazole, as a plant growth retardant, can enhance stress tolerance in plants, possibly because of improved antioxidation defense mechanisms with higher activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and peroxidase(POD) enzymes that retard lipid peroxidation and membrane deterioration. These years much attention has been focused on the responses of antioxidant system in plants to uniconazole stress, but such studies on aquatic organism are very few. Moreover, no information is available on growth and antioxidant response in marine microalgae to uniconazole. In this paper, the growth and antioxidant responses of two marine microalgal species, Platymonas helgolandica and Pavlova viridis, at six uniconazole concentrations(0-15 mg L-1) were investigated. The results demonstrated that 3 mg L-1 uniconazole could increase significantly chlorophyll a and carbohydrate contents of P. helgolandica(P < 0.05). Higher concentrations(≥12 mg L-1) of uniconazole could inhibit significantly the growth, dry weight, chlorophyll-a and carbohydrate contents of P. helgolandica and P. viridis(P < 0.05). Uniconazole caused a significant increase in lipid peroxidation production(MDA) at higher concentrations(≥ 9 mg L-1). The activities of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT) were enhanced remarkably at low concentrations of uniconazole. However, significant reduction of SOD and CAT activities was observed at higher concentrations of uniconazole.

Preparation of Photocatalytic TiO_2 and TiO_2-SiO_2 Particles and Application to Degradation of Trace Organics in Aqueous Solution

TiO2 and TiO2-SiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by sol-gel and supercritical CO2 fluid drying method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), etc. Their catalytic properties were tested through the photocatalytic degradation of phenol and aniline in wastewater. The results show that the developed fluidized photocatalytic reactor (FPR) and TiO2 catalyst had better performance in degrading pollutants as compared with slurry photocatalytic reactor (SPR) and commercial TiO2 catalyst. The composition and crystal form of TiO2-SiO2 composite oxide had obvious influence on catalytic effect and TiO2-SiO2 photocatalysts showed better catalytic activity and stability.

A Novel Mo-Doped Compound with Graphite-Like Structure: [H_3O]_2V_3O_8

The hydrothermal reaction of Na2MoO4 . 2H(2)O, V2O5 and en in water gave rise to a graphite-shaped vanadate [H3O](2)V3O8 1, which is doped with molybdenum. Compound 1 crystallizes in tetragonal system, space group P4bm, H6O10V2.9Mo0.1, M-r = 323.37, a = 8.904(1), c = 5.573(1)Angstrom, V = 441.8(1)Angstrom (3), Z = 2, D-c = 2.431 g.cm(-3), mu = 3.137 mm(-1), F(000) = 314, the final R = 0.0477, wR = 0.0993 for 260 observed reflections. Its two-dimensional framework is built up by corner-shared ((VO4)-O-V) tetrahedra and ((VO5)-O-IV) square pyramids with all of the terminal oxygen atoms toward the same orientation and further connected inta three-dimensional framework through hydrogen bonding between the protoned water molecules.

Effect of cyanobacteria extract on some associated enzymes in mouse liver in vivo

Blooms of toxin-producing cyanobacteria have become increasingly common in the surface water of the world. In this study, we studied the dose- and time-dependent effects of a microcystin （MC） extract of cyanobacteria from Dianchi Lake in China on liver weight/body weight ratio and superoxide dismutase （SOD）, lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） activities in mouse liver. We found that exposure to the cyanobacterial extract （CE） resulted in increase in liver weight/body weight ratio in a dose-dependent manner, and the mouse liver reached the maximum size at 1 h post-exposure （pe）. SOD activity in mouse liver decreased in a dose-dependent manner, and time course study indicated that it decreased significantly at 1 and 2 h pe, and resumed at 3 h pc as compared to control. CE caused LDH activity in the livers of mice to decrease in a dose- and time-dependent maimer except a small increase in 30 min pe mice. GSH-Px activity increased in a dose-dependent manner, and was higher than that in the control over the 3 h observation period. The present findings suggest that oxidative damage may be involved in the toxicity of microcystins on mouse.

Catalytic ozonation-biological coupled processes for the treatment of industrial wastewater containing refractory chlorinated nitroaromatic compounds

A treatability study of industrial wastewater containing chlorinated nitroaromatic compounds （CNACs） by a catalytic ozonation process （COP） with a modified Mn/Co ceramic catalyst and an aerobic sequencing batch reactor （SBR） was investigated. A preliminary attempt to treat the diluted wastewater with a single SBR resulted in ineffective removal of the color, ammonia, total organic carbon （TOC） and chemical oxygen demand （COD）. Next, COP was applied as a pretreatment in order to obtain a bio-compatible wastewater for SBR treatment in a second step. The effectiveness of the COP pretreatment was assessed by evaluating wastewater biodegradability enhancement （the ratio of biology oxygen demand after 5 d （BOD5） to COD）, as well as monitoring the evolution of TOC, carbon oxidation state （COS）, average oxidation state （AOS）, color, and major pollutant concentrations with reaction time. In the COP, the catalyst preserved its catalytic properties even after 70 reuse cycles, exhibiting good durability and stability. The performance of SBR to treat COP effluent was also examined. At an organic loading rate of 2.0 kg COD/（m^3.d）, with hydraulic retention time （HRT）=10 h and temperature （30±2） ℃, the average removal efficiencies of NH3-N, COD, BOD5, TOC, and color in a coupled COP/SBR process were about 80%, 95.8%, 93.8%, 97.6% and 99.3%, respectively, with average effluent concentrations of 10 mg/L, 128 mg/L, 27.5 mg/L, 25.0 mg/L, and 20 multiples, respectively, which were all consistent with the national standards for secondary discharge of industrial wastewater into a public sewerage system （GB 8978-1996）. The results indicated that the coupling of COP with a biological process was proved to be a technically and economically effective method for treating industrial wastewater containing recalcitrant CNACs.
