Sulfonic acid is reported to be efficient in catalyzing reactions between isocyanates and alcohols. In this work, synthesis of sulfonic acid immobilized organic nanoparticles (nanoacid) and its application in catalyzing urethane formation, are elaborated. The nanoacid can be simply prepared by miniemulsion polymerization with a reactive surfacrant, namely sodium 4-((perfluoronon-8-en-l-yl)oxy)benzenesulfonate, followed by an acidification. From the images of scanning electron microscope, the nanoacid obtained is found to be narrowly dispersed and the average diameter is around 90 nm. The measured sulfur content is 0.5%, from which the content of sulfonic acid in the nanoparticles is calculated to be 0.16 mmol/g. When catalyzing urethane formation based on hexamethylene diisocyanate and n-butanol, the nanoacid catalyst exhibits considerable efficiency.展开更多

It was found that the aminated hypercrosslinked resins had the highest adsorption capacities among the tested polymers. The empirical Freundlich equation was successfully employed to describe the adsorption process. Specific surface area and micropore structure of the adsorbent, in company with tertiary amino groups on matrix affected the adsorption performance towards catechol. In addition, thermodynamic study was carried out to interpret the adsorption mechanism. Kinetic study testified that the tertiary amino groups on the polymer matrix could decrease the adsorption rate and increase the adsorption apparent activation energy.展开更多

The method allows to prepare urea with productivity of-530 g/(L·h) in sufficiently mild conditions (total pressure -30 bar, 45 ℃). The process is characterized by high selectivity (near 100%) i.e. byproducts separation is not needed. Almost all CO is consumed during the process, this substantially diminishes the waste-gas purification costs and raises the process environmental characteristics; the only byproduct is water.展开更多

It is found that a part of HTS zeolite crystals dissolved in the hot NH_3·H_2O solution, and the specific surface area and pore volume continuously decreased with the increase in NH_3 hydrothermal treatment time. Meanwhile, the transformation of framework Ti species into extraframework Ti species was detected by the spectroscopic methods. However, the extraframework Ti species were still in a highly dispersed state after the hydrothermal and thermal treatments as shown by TEM images, while the formation of new acid sites was not detected. Upon combining the results of characterization with catalytic performance of HTS, the main deactivation reason for this material had been determined, which might be attributed to the reduction of specific surface area and active centers after basic treatment and calcination of HTS samples. And then the possible mechanism of simulated deactivation of HTS zeolite was proposed, which could describe the elemental reaction steps much more visually and directly.展开更多

These data are used to calculate the apparent molar volume Vφ and infinite dilution apparent molar volume Vφo (partial molar volume). Data of five amino acids are used to correlate partial molar volume Vφo usinggroup contribution method to estimate the contributions of the zwitterionic end groups (NH3+,COO-) and CH2 group, OH group, CNHNHNH2 group and C6H5(phenyl) group of amino acids. The results show that Vφo values for all kinds of groups of amino acids studied increase with increase of temperature except those for CH2 group, which are almost constant within the studied temperature range. Data of other amino acids, L-valine, L-isoleucine and L-threonine, are chosen for comparison with the predicted partial molar volume Vφo using the group additivity parameters obtained. The results confirm that this group additivity method has excellent predictive utility.展开更多

L^(-1).The coefficients of thermal expansion values were estimated from measured density data.It was found that,the densities,viscosities and refractive indices of the aqueous sodium glycinate decrease with an increase in temperature,whereas with increasing sodium glycinate concentration in the solution,all three properties increase.Thermal expansion coefficients slightly increase with rising temperature and concentration.The measured values of density,viscosity and refractive index were correlated as a function of temperature by using the least squares method.The predicted data obtained from correlation equations for all measured properties were in fairly good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

After evaluation for the antitumor activities of libraries, six compounds were selected to be synthesized and examined their antitumor activities. It was found that compound 13 (HGWJ-11 C) with novel structure exhibited significant antitumor activities and the scaffold of dithiocarbamic acid was very crucial for the antitumor activity. The compound 13 is worth studying deeply as a potent hit compound.展开更多

Since the IL can form strong hydrogen bonds with water, trace amount of water is a problematic impurity in the IL. Using the standard addition method (SAM), the densities were measured in the temperature range from 293.15 to 343.15±0.05 K. On the basis of the experimental data of density, the surface tension y, molar volume, and the molecular vol- ume Vm, molar enthalpy of vaporization AIgHm0, and the thermal expansion coefficients or, for [C7mim][Ala] were estimated using semi-empirical methods. Also the interstice model has been verified with good accordance. Then the [C7mim][Ala] was taken as catalyst in the transesterification reaction with fatty acid, where soybean oil was used as raw material and methanol as reactant. The amount of catalyst, alcohol consumption, reaction time, temperature and other factors of the reaction were inves- tigated. Using GC determination, the conversions were calculated by the internal standard method. The main ingredients of the products were identified by GC-MS as palm methyl ester and linoleic acid methyl ester only, which showed high selectivity in palmitic acid and linoleic acid.展开更多
