The effect parameters of stirring speed, temperature, particle size, concentrations of ammonia, ammonium sulfate and sodium persulfate were determined. The results show that the leaching rate is nearly independent of agitation above 300 r/min and increases with the increase of temperature, concentrations of ammonia, ammonium sulfate and sodium persulfate. The EDS analysis and phase quantitative analysis of the residues indicate that bornite can be dissolved by persulfate oxidization. The leaching kinetics with activation energy of 22.91 kJ/mol was analyzed by using a new shrinking core model (SCM) in which both the interfacial transfer and diffusion across the product layer affect the leaching rate. A semi-empirical rate equation was obtained to describe the leaching process and the empirical reaction orders with respect to the concentrations of ammonia, ammonium sulfate and sodium persulfate are 0.5, 1.2 and 0.5, respectively.展开更多

The strain is named ZYX and is gram-positive. This strain undergoes bacilus-coccus morphological change, and forms yellow-pigment glossy circular colonies with 1.5 mm in diameter on average after 2 d incubation on Luria-Bertani(LB) plates. The full-length of 16S rDNA sequence of strain ZYX was determined and analyzed. Strain ZYX is found most relative with the genus of Arthrobacter. The similarity values between ZYX and Arthrobacter sp. P2 is 99.53%. The main morphological, biochemical and physiological features of strain ZYX accord with those of Arthrobacter. It is found that the optimal initial pH for growth is about 7.0, and the optimal concentration of dibenzothiophene(DBT) for growth is 0. 10 gL. Additionally, the results show that the best carbon source and nitrogen source are glycerol and glutamine, respectively.展开更多

The shrinking core model was applied to quantify the effects of reaction parameters on leaching rate. The leaching rate increases with reaction temperature, concentrations of H 2 SO 4 and organic matter in molasses alcohol wastewater increase and ore particle size decreases. The leaching process follows the kinetics of a shrinking core model and the apparent activation energy is 57.5 kJ·mol –1 . The experimental results indicate a reaction order of 0.52 for H2SO4 concentration and 0.90 for chemical oxygen demand (COD) of molasses alcohol wastewater. It is concluded that the reductive leaching of pyrolusite with molasses alcohol wastewater is controlled by the diffusion through the ash/inert layer composed of the associated minerals.展开更多

The made single-emissive-layer (SEL) polymer light-emitting devices using (dfppy)2Ptz(CsOXT)2 as emitter exhibited a satu- rated red emission peaked at 620 nm. The best device performances were obtained in the device at 8 wt% dopant concentration, with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 8.4%, a current efficiency of 4.2 cd/A and brightness of 3228 cd/m~.

We found that NariS injection markedly decreased rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and histological injury in DSS-challenged mice. NariS (20 pmol/L) reversed DSS-induced inhibition in cell viability in Caco-2 cells and alleviated pro-inflammation cytokine expression in vivo and in vitro, indicating an anti-inflammatory function for H2S. It was also found that H2S may regulate cytokine expression by inhibiting the nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) signaling pathway. In conclusion, our results demon- strated that H2S alleviated DSS-induced inflammation in vivo and in vitro and that the signal mechanism might be associated with the NF-KB signaling pathway.展开更多

This strategy utilized the magnetic particles (MNPs) for the immobilization of linker DNA and CdS NPs and the subsequent target DNA hybridization. Using the unique characteristic of nicking endonuclease for cutting one specific strand of double strand DNA (ds DNA), the linker DNA could be transected and the target DNA could be liberated for re-hybridization and hence the amount of released CdS NPs was enhanced. Due to the advantage of the MNPs and signal amplification from the target recycling, the analyte DNA could be detected by the square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWV) in a wide linear range from 0.4 fM to 100 fM with the detection limit down to 0.08 fM. The proposed DNA detection strategy possesses high sensitivity, satisfactory reproducibility and excellent stability, which might have potential in other DNA biological assays.展开更多

文摘Modified deoxy-and ribo-nucleoside triphosphates are chemically synthesized in multiple steps due to the protection and deprotection of the nucleoside functionalities.To conveniently synthesize the S-modified triphosphates for enzymatically preparing phosphorothioate DNAs and RNAs(PS-DNA and PS-RNA) as potential therapeutics,herein we report a one-pot strategy to synthesize the deoxy-and ribo-nucleoside 5'-(α-P-thio)triphosphates(dNTPαS and NTPαS) without protecting any nucleoside functionalities.This facile synthesis is achieved by treating the nucleosides with a mild phosphitylating reagent,reacting selectively with the 5'-hydroxyl group of each unprotected nucleoside,followed by sulfurization and hydrolysis to afford the crude dNTPαS and NTPαS analogs(mixtures of Sp and Rp diastereomers).We also demonstrated that after just simple precipitation(without HPLC and ion-exchange purification),the quality of the synthesized dNTPαS and NTPαS analogs is excellent for direct DNA polymerization and RNA transcription,respectively.Since Klenow DNA polymerase and T7 RNA polymerase accept the Sp diastereomers of dNTPαS and NTPαS analogs,respectively,while the Rp diastereomers are neither substrates nor inhibitors,the diastereomerically-pure PS-DNAs and PS-RNAs can be conveniently synthesized enzymatically.
