Chemical characterization and composition of dissolved organic matter in Jiaozhou Bay

Biologically utilizable dissolved organic compounds,including dissolved organic carbon (DOC),dissolved carbohydrates (DCHO) and dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) were analyzed in filtered surface seawater samples collected at 19 stations in Jiaozhou Bay,China,on June 3,2007.In these samples,concentrations of DOC,dissolved free carbohydrates (DFCHO),dissolved combined carbohydrates (DCCHO),total dissolved carbohydrates (TDCHO) and total dissolved free amino acids (TDFAA) ranged from 141.7 to 191.1 μmol C/L,1.98 to 18.18 μmol C/L,5.04 to 24.90 μmol C/L,14.52 to 30.36 μmol C/L,and 1.83 to 11.89 μmol C/L,respectively.As a major component of the dissolved carbohydrates,the concentrations of DCCHO were about three times higher than those of DFCHO.Three major constituents of the DFAA were threonine (23.0±5.7 mol%),glutamic acid (16.6±3.2 mol%) and arginine (9.1±3.3 mol%).Based on the composition of DFAA,a molar C:N ratio of 3.60±0.75 in DFAA was derived,indicating longer carbon chains in the amino acids.DCCHO (8.1%) was the most abundant fraction of DOM in most samples,followed by DFCHO (4.8%) and TDFAA (2.7%).These DOM concentrations displayed a decreasing trend from the coast to the central region.Significant correlations were found between the DCCHO and DFCHO concentrations (r=-0.724,n=19,P<0.001) and the DCCHO and TDCHO concentrations (r=0.506,n=19,P=0.027).

Promotion of conversion activity of flue gas desulfurization gypsum into α-hemihydrate gypsum by calcination-hydration treatment

The massive accumulation of flue gas desulfurization(FGD)gypsum produced in the wet limestone-gypsum flue gas desulfurization process not only encroaches on lands but also causes serious environmental pollution.The preparation ofα-hemihydrate gypsum(α-HH)is an important way to achieve high-value utilization of FGD gypsum.Although the glycerol-water solution approach can be used to produceα-HH from FGD gypsum under mild conditions,the transition is kinetically unfavorable in the mixed solution.Here,an easy pretreatment was used to activate FGD gypsum by calcination and hydration to readily complete the transition.The pretreatment deteriorated the crystallinity of FGD gypsum and caused it to form small irregular flaky crystals,which dramatically increased the specific surface area.Additionally,most of the organics adsorbed onto FGD gypsum surfaces were removed after pretreatment.The poor crystallinity,increased specific surface area,and elimination of organics adsorbed onto crystal surfaces effectively improved the conversion activity of FGD gypsum,thereby promoting dihydrate gypsum(DH)dissolution andα-HH nucleation.Overall,the phase transition of FGD gypsum toα-HH is facilitated.

Influence of La precursors on structure and properties of CeO_2-ZrO_2-Al_2O_3 composite oxides

Three La-doped CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3(CZA)composite oxide samples,namely,CZA-I,CZA-II and CZA-III,were prepared following a co-precipitation method in the presence of La2O3,La(NO3)3-6H2O and H[La(EDTA)]-16H2O precursors,respectively.When the precursor samples are sintered at 1000°C,the as-prepared composite oxides mainly exhibit the CeO2-ZrO2 cubic fluorite phase,while theγ-Al2O3 andδ-Al2O3 phases appear when the precursor samples are subjected to sintering at 1100 and 1200°C.CZA-III exhibits improved redox properties after high-temperature treatment compared with CZA-I and CZA-II.CZA-III presents the largest surface area of 97.46 m2/g among the three CZAs when the CZA-III precursor sample is sintered at 1000°C.Furthermore,the corresponding oxygen storage capacity(OSC)is the largest with value of 400.27μmol/g when CZA-III precursor sample is sintered at 1000°C.Additionally,CZA-III exhibits the best thermal stability and the highest reduction temperature.However,by increasing the sintering temperature to 1200°C,there is a dramatic decline in the properties of surface area and OSC.And a decrease for CZA-III in surface area by 58.94%and a decrease of the OSC value by 74.56%are observed.

Synthesis and Characterization of Titania and Rare Earth Doped Titania Nanoparticles by Sol-gel Process

Titania sol has been prepared by the sol-gel process with Ti（OC4H9）4, as precursor. TiO2 gel was obtained through hydrolysis and condensation process. Rare earth such as La2O3, CeO2 and Gd2O3 were introduced into the nanostructure TiO2. After TiO2 and rare earth doped TiO2 powders were calcined at 400℃, 500℃, 600℃, 700℃ and 800℃ respectively, the characteristic analyses of the TiO2 samples were studied by UV-VIS, XRD and TEM etc. It was found that there are some stringer absorption peaks at 200 - 325 nm. The rare earth doping can increase the phase transition temperature convertin8 anatase phase into rutile phase, can decrease the grain size of TiO2particles and can improve the ann-UV capacity of the coating fabrics.

Physicochemical Characterization and Solubility Enhancement Studies of Mebendazole Solid Dispersions in Solvent Mixtures

Abstract： The objective was to obtain solid dispersion to improve the dissolution rate, solubility and oral absorption of MB （mebendazole）, poor water-soluble drugs. The new formulation was characterized by DSC （differential scanning calorimetry）, PXRD （powder X-ray diffraction）, FT-1R （fourier transform infrared spectroscopy） and STEM （scanning transmission electron microscopy） methods. Solid dispersions of MB with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 （PVP K30） were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The solubility of MB （original powder） and that of the solid dispersions was measured at 25℃ in ethanol-water. The aqueous solubility of MB was favoured by the presence of the polymer in solvent mixtures. Combination of solid dispersions with co-solvents increased the water solubility of MB in a larger extent that each method separately. Solubility parameter （o） was used to relate to solubility profiles. MB and the solid dispersions show a solubility curve with a single peak at 51 = 30.78 MPav2. Solid state characterizations indicated that the solid dispersion exist an amorphous material entrapped in polymer matrix getting highest improvement in wettability and solubility.

Influence of Atomization Parameters in the Obtention of Mango Pulp Powder

Mango is a widely cultivated and consumed fruit in Brazil and one of the most important alternatives to take advantage of the production excess is dehydration. Therefore, this work aims at establishing better operational conditions for ＂spray-drying＂ processes, in order to obtain the powder of mango pulp by means of a rotational central compounded planning, and also at carrying out the physicochemical characterization of both the integral mango pulp and the powder obtained from the operational conditions mentioned above. Both integral mango pulp and powder were analyzed as for the following physicochemical characteristics： humidity, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids （~Brix）, vitamin C and color--through parameters L＊, a＊, b＊ and h0, Chrome （C＊） and color difference （AEL＊a＊b＊）. The experimental planning used presented significant differences at 5% of probability, showing that the model was adjusted to the data in accordance to F test, thus being possible to determine the best process conditions. In addition, the average results of the physicochemical parameters pointed out that the pulp used was in accordance with the patterns established by the quality and identity patterns for mango pulp. Moreover, it showed that the powder obtained had good physicochemical quality.

Effects of Non-specific and Specific Solvation on Adsorption of BPTI on Au Surface： Insight from Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Proteins adsorption at solid surfaces are of paramount important for many natural processes. However, the role of specific water in influencing the adsorption process has not been well understood. We used molecular dynamics simulation to study the adsorption of BPTI on Au surface in three water environments （dielectric constant model, partial and full solvation models）. The result shows that a fast and strong adsorption can occur in the dielectric environment, which leads to significant structure changes, as confirmed by great deviation from the crystal structure, largely spreading along the Au surface, rapid lose in all secondary structures and the great number of atoms in contact with the surface. Compared to the dielectric model, slower adsorption and fewer changes in the calculated properties above are observed in the partial solvation system since the specific water layer weakens the adsorption effects. However, in the partial solvation system, the adsorption of polar Au surface causes a significant decrease in the specific hydration around the protein, which still results in large structure changes similar to the dielectric system, but with much less adsorption extent. Enough water molecules in the full solvation system could allow the protein to rotate, and to large extent preserve the protein native structure, thus leading to the slowest and weakest adsorption. On the whole, the effects of non-specific and specific solvation on the protein structure and adsorption dynamics are significantly different, highlighting the importance of the specific water molecule in the protein adsorption.

Dissolved barium as a tracer of Kuroshio incursion in the Kuroshio region east of Taiwan Island and the adjacent East China Sea

From May to June 2014, the geochemical characteristics of dissolved barium(Ba) in sea water and its influx from the Kuroshio into the East China Sea(ECS) were studied by investigation of the Kuroshio mainstream east of Taiwan Island and the adjacent ECS. This allowed for the scope and extent of the Kuroshio incursion to be quantitatively described for the first time by using Ba as a tracer. The concentration of Ba in the Kuroshio mainstream increased gradually downward from the surface in the range 4.91–19.2 μg L.1. In the surface layer of the ECS, the Ba concentration was highest in coastal water and gradually decreased seaward, while it was higher in coastal and offshore water but lowest in middle shelf for bottom layer. The influx of Ba from Kuroshio into the ECS during May to October was calculated to be 2.19×108 kg by a water exchange model, in which the subsurface layer had the largest portion. The distribution of Ba indicated that Kuroshio upwelled in the sea area northeast of Taiwan Island. The north-flowing water in the Taiwan Strait restrained the incursion of Kuroshio surface water onto the ECS shelf, while Kuroshio subsurface water gradually affected the bottom of the ECS from outside. The results of end member calculation, using Ba as a parameter, showed that the Kuroshio surface water had little impact on the ECS, while the Kuroshio subsurface water formed an intrusion current by climbing northwest along the bottom of the middle shelf from the sea area northeast of Taiwan Island into the Qiantang Estuary, of which the volume of Kuroshio water was nearly 65%. Kuroshio water was the predominant part of the water on the outer shelf bottom and its proportion in areas deeper than the 100 m isobath could reach more than 95%. In the DH9 section(north of Taiwan Island), Kuroshio subsurface water intruded westward along the bottom from the shelf edge and then rose upward(in lower proportion). Kuroshio water accounted for 95% of the ocean volume could reach as far as 122°E. Ba was able to provide detailed tracing of the Kuroshio incursion into the ECS owing to its geochemical characteristics and became an effective tracer for revealing quantitative interactions between the Kuroshio and the ECS.

Facile synthesis of nickel cobalt selenide hollow nanospheres as efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for rechargeable Zn-air battery

Designing high active,low cost and bifunctional electrocatalysts is urgent for developing clean energy storage and conversion systems.Transition metal selenides exhibit optimal electronic conductivity and tunable physicochemical properties,which endow them with potential for efficient electrocatalysts to facilitate the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions(ORR and OER).Herein,hollow NixCo0.85-xSe nanospheres were synthesized using a facile polyol based solution chemical method.The NixCo0.85-xSe exhibits an onset overpotential of 0.89 V for ORR,and an overpotential of 305 mV to achieve 10 mA cm^-2 for OER.Moreover,the NixCo0.85-xSe based Zn-air battery displays remarkable specific capacity and durability.Such superior catalytic performances can be attributed to the synergistic effect,large specific surface area and enhanced electron transfer rate.This approach provides a new way to design highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy storage and utilization.

Nickel-doped CoN nanowire bundles as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction

Cost-efficient electrocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements are highly desired for enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER).As a promising candidate,metallic Co4N already demonstrated electrocatalytic performance relying on specific nanostructures and electronic configurations.Herein,nickel was introduced as the dopant into one-dimensional (1D) hierarchical Co4N structures,achieving effective electronic regulation of Co4N toward high OER performance.The amount of Co3+increased after Ni-doping,and the in-situ formed surface oxyhydroxide during OER enhanced the electrocatalytic kinetics.Meanwhile,the 1D hierarchical structure further promoted the performances of Co4N owing to the high electrical conductivity and abundant activesites on the rough surface.As expected,the optimal Ni-doped Co4N with a Ni/Co molar ratio of 0.25 provides a small overpotential of 233 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2),with a low Tafel slope of 61 mV dec^(-1),and high long-term stability in 1.0 mol L^(-1)KOH.Following these results,the enhancement by doping the Co4N nanowire bundles with Fe and Cu was further evidenced for the OER.

Transportation characteristics of δ^(13)C in the plants-soil-bedrock-cave system in Chongqing karst area

Here we use an analytical method to determine δ^13C in local plants and organic matter in the soils above Furong cave, Chong- qing, China. We also monitored d13C in dissolved inorganic carbon （DIC） of drip water, δ^13C of active deposits under the drip waters, and the concentration of air CO2 （PCO2）. Based on these, we preliminarily studied the transportation characteristics of stable carbon isotope （^13C） in cave system of the subtropical karst area. The average δ^13C value of 27 local plant samples, which belong to 16 families, was -32% and the weighted δ^13C for surface dry biomass was -33%0. We found that for 54 soil samples collected from 5 soil profiles, δ^13C of soil organic matters was -22%o, which could be attributed to the different trans- portation rates of stable carbon isotopes during the decomposition of plants and organic matters in soils. The relatively lighter 12C tended to transfer into gaseous CO2, which made the relatively heavier ^13C concentrated in the soils. On the basis of moni- toring of DIC- δ^13C in drip waters from July 2009 to June 2010, we found that values in winter months were heavier and values in summer months were lighter in general, the reason of which was that in summer months, both the temperature and the hu- midity were comparatively higher, resulted in more CO2 with lighter δ^13C generated from organic matters decomposition and plants respiration. The average DIC- δ^13C value was -11%o, about 11%o heavier than the δ^13C of organic matters in soils, which proved that part of DIC in cave drip water was sourced from dissolution of inorganic carbonate （host rock, with heavier δ^13C. As for the δ^13C of active deposits at five drip water sites in Furong cave, they had almost the same variation with relatively light values. In other words, these active speleothems were deposited at equilibrium conditions for isotopic fractionation. These results suggest that the carbon isotopic information of speleothems could be used to track the evolution of local vegetation in certain situations.
