The poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile)/LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr solid polymer electrolytes were prepared with poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) and (LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr) eutectic salts. The effect of LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts content on the conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes was studied by alternating current impedance method, and the structures of eutectic salts and solid polymer electrolytes were characterized by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The results show that the room temperature conductivity of LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts reaches (3.11×10-4 S·cm-1.) The poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile)/LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr solid polymer electrolytes possess the highest room temperature conductivity at 70% LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts content, and exhibit lower glass transition temperature of 75 ℃ compared with that of poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) of 105 ℃. A complex may be formed in the solid polymer electrolytes from the differential thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy analysis. X-ray diffraction results show that the poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) can suppress the crystallization of eutectic salts in this system.展开更多

The effects of salt concentration and pH on the characteristics ofjarosite formed in K2SO4/(NHa)2SOa-FeSO4 inorganic salt solution and 9K medium were studied by using the measurements of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourierism transform infrared analysis, thermogravity/differential thermogravity analysis and particle size analysis to evaluate the product. The results indicate that the formation of jarosite begins when A. ferrooxidans reaches logarithmic growth phase in 9K medium, and a higher pH value is beneficial to the formation of jarosite. The jarosite formed in 9K medium has smaller and more concentrative particle size and smoother surface than that formed in inorganic salt solution.展开更多

An FO model ...This study investigated the influence of temperature on the performance of forward osmosis(FO) under the condition that the feed solution(FS) temperature was diff erent from draw solution(DS) temperature. An FO model considering the mass and heat transfer between FS and DS was developed, and the FO experiment with ammonium bicarbonate solution as DS and sodium chloride solution as FS was carried out. The predicted water flux and reverse draw solute flux using the developed model coincided with the experimental fluxes. Increases in the temperature of FS or DS yield corresponding increases in the water flux, reverse draw solute flux, and forward rejection of feed solute. Compared with increasing the FS temperature, increasing the DS temperature has a more significant impact on enhancing FO performance. When the temperature of DS increased from 20 to 40 ℃, the specific reverse solute flux decreased from 0.231 to 0.190 mol/L.展开更多

Methods: From January to February 2009, 36 patients were recruited from Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The experiment was approved by the ethnical committee of Xinhua Hospital and under permissions fronl patients. All the patients were randomized into polyethersulfone group (PES, n=18) and polysulfone group (PS, n=18). Hemodialysis was given by using Fresenius 4008S capacity-controlled dialyser and ultra-purified bicarbonate dialysate, more than 3.5 h each time, three times per-week, followed by heparin anticoagulation for a week, three times totally. Changes in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Set), phosphate (p2+), hemoglobin and albumin levels were determined for the efficacy and safety evahlation. Results: The serum BUN, Set and p2+ concentrations significantly reduced after hemodialysis with different dialyzers, and the decrease amplitude of two groups was equivalent(P〉0.05). The clearance rate of the serum BUN and Scr had no significant difference among two groups(P〉O.05). The clearance rate (ml/min) of the sermn P^2+ was 144.57 ±27.83 v.s. 117.15 ±22.77 in two groups. The clearance rate of the serum p^2+ in PES group was more than that in PS group, and the difference was significant between two groups (P=0.0001). It was indicated that PES and PS membrane could efficiently eliminate serum mieromolecule solute in MHD patients, so PES membrane excelled PS membrane in eliminating serum p2+. The hemodialysis safety index, for example serum hemoglobin, albumin and blood pressure, had no significant difference between the two groups before and after hemodialysis (P〉0.05). Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of the PES hollow fiber membrane dialyzer is equivalent to that of the imported PS membrane dialyzer in hemodialysis for MHD patients. The PES membrane excels PS membrane in eliminating sermn p^2+.展开更多

Infrared spectroscopy has been generally used in molecular structure analysis due to its fingerprint resolution for different species including macromolecules as proteins. However spectral intensities have received much less attention than the vibrational frequencies. Here we report that the spectral intensities of protein amide I band, the finger prints for the protein secondary structures, are very sensitive to the local electric field known as Onsager reaction field caused by salt ions. IR absorbance thermal titrations have been conducted for a series of samples including simple water soluble amino acids, water soluble monomeric protein cytochrome c and dimeric protein DsbC and its single-site mutant G49R. We found that at lower temperature range (10-20℃), there exists a thermal activated salting-in process, where the IR intensity increases with a rise in the temperature, corresponding to the ions binding of the hydrophobic surface of protein. This process is absent for the amino acids. When further raising the temperature, the IR intensity decreases, this is interpreted as the thermal activated breaking of the ion-protein surface binding. Applying Van't Hoff plot to the thermal titration curves, the thermodynamic parameters such as AH and AS for salting-in and ion unbinding processes can be derived for various protein secondary structural components, revealing quantitatively the extent of hydrophobic interaction as well as the strength of the ion-protein binding.展开更多

A rhizobox experiment(Exp. 2) was also done in a Norwegian clay soil, mixed with four levels of BorreGro-carbon(BG-C) added(0, 2, 20 and 200 mg BG-C kg-1) to test the impact of BorreGro on root growth, rhizosphere chemistry(pH, metals and dissolved organic carbon(DOC)) and the composition of phospholipid fatty acids(PLFAs). The BorreGro addition increased the concentration of Mn due to the high concentrations in BorreGro. The BorreGro addition to soil had an indirect but significant impact on the rhizosphere chemistry and PLFAs. The lowest amounts of added BorreGro facilitated the DOC excretion at plant roots, and thereby increased the bacterial and fungal biomass, likely as an effect of increased Mn solubility from BorreGro in the root zone.展开更多
