CFs exposure has been proven to be associated with many diseases. Lung cancer takes the leading place among the diseases being reported caused by CFs exposure. Molecular and biochemical studies have found that CFs exposure may lead to lung cancer by gene damage, formation of reactive oxygen species, blockage of related proteins’ function, and even cell death. However, reviews about the mechanisms of how CFs exposure leads to lung cancer are still lacking. Elucidation of the mechanisms of lung cancer caused by CFs exposure may provide a new insight into the prevention of lung cancer caused by CFs exposure, as well as laying the foundation for the toxicity study of CFs. In this minor review, the mechanisms of how CFs exposure leads to lung cancer were summarized and discussed.展开更多

Asphaltene was separated by Soxhlet extraction with methylbenzene and then divided into three parts by distillation. Gas chromatography （GC） and high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） were coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （Q-TOF MS） to separate and characterize organic nitrogen species in the distillates of asphaltene at molecular level. Molecular mass of compounds was mainly distributed from 150 to 600 ~t. Number of rings plus double bonds （rdb） and synchronous fluorescence spectra indicated that most of the organonitrogen compounds （NPAC） contained heterocyclic aromatic rings, including pyridines, anilines, quinolins, pyrroles, carbazoles and indoles plus various alkyl groups. Constant-wavelength synchronous fluo- rescence spectrometry （CWSFS） indicated NPAC with 2-3 rings were the main structures of organonitrogen compounds and the corresponding structural information was proposed. Some organic nitrogen isomers were separated and identified by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization （APCI） GC-Q-TOF MS and electrospray ionization （ESI） HPLC-Q-TOF MS. The methodology applied here contained chromatographic injection of the diluted sample using conventional columns sets and Data Analysis 4.2 software. Identifying molecular structures provides a foundation to understand all aspects of coal- derived asphaltene, enabling a first-principles approach to optimize resource utilization.展开更多

In the present work, the transformation of sawdust into aromat- ics such as benzene, toluene and xylenes was investigated over a series of zeolite catalysts （NaZSM-5, HZSM-5, ReY and HY catalysts）. Among the tested catalysts, the HZSM-5 catalyst shows the highest activity for the production of aromatics. The yield and carbon selectivity of aromatics reached about 26.5% and 62.5C-mo1%, respectively over the HZSM-5 catalyst under the optimal condition of T=450 ℃, f（N2）=300 cm^3/min, and catalyst/lignin ratio of 2. The effects of the reaction conditions including temperature, gas flow rate, and catalyst/sawdust ratio on the production of aromatics were investigated in detail and the formation of aromatics from lignocellulosic biomass was also addressed.展开更多
