Gold stabilized on reducible oxide (CeO2 and FeOx) and irreducible oxide (γ‐Al2O3, SiO2, and HZSM‐5) were prepared by deposition precipitation method and tested for catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) ...Gold stabilized on reducible oxide (CeO2 and FeOx) and irreducible oxide (γ‐Al2O3, SiO2, and HZSM‐5) were prepared by deposition precipitation method and tested for catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at room temperature under high GHSV of 600000 ml/(g·s). Au/γ‐Al2O3 cata‐lyst showed distinctive catalytic performance, presenting the highest initial HCHO conversion and stability. Correlating the reaction rate with Au particle size, there is a linear relationship, suggesting that the smaller Au particle size with higher dispersion possesses high reactivity for HCHO oxida‐tion. All the catalysts deactivated at high GHSV (600000 ml/(g·s)), but in a quite different rate. Re‐ducible oxide (CeO2 and FeOx) could stabilize gold through O linkage and therefore exhibits a better stability for HCHO oxidation reaction. However, the aggregation of gold particles occurred over Au/SiO2 and Au/HZSM‐5 catalysts, which result in the fast deactivation. Therefore, our results sug‐gest that the reducibility of the supports for Au catalysis has no direct influence on the activity, but affects the catalytic stability.展开更多

It is characterized that the VSi Beta catalysts possess different kinds of vanadium species on the Si Beta support, including monomeric or isolated VOx species at a low V loading, and polynuclear VOx species in different polymerization degrees at higher V loadings. The 3 VSi Beta catalyst(V loading is 3 wt%), containing isolated VOx species in monolayer, shows around 40% of propane conversion with 90% of propylene selectivity(reaction conditions: 600 o C, 4000 m L g–1 h–1) which are comparable to VSi Beta catalysts with higher V loadings. The catalytic activity exhibits a good linear relationship with the amount of generated acidic sites, which are derived from the interaction sites between VOx species and Si Beta support, and keeps stable after several regeneration cycles. Thus, as the VOx species directly contact with Si Beta support via V–O–Si bonds, a reactivity enhancement can be achieved. While, the initial valence state of V does not seem to influence the catalytic performance. Moreover, the aggregation degree of VOx species determines the propylene selectivity and deactivation rate, both of which increase as raising the V loading amount.展开更多

The TPPs are with an intramolecularly crosslinked poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl pent-4-ynoate)-rpoly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PMAEP-r-PHEMA) chain as the "head" and a poly(2- (dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) linear chain as the "tail", and are pre- pared simply and emciently by Glaser-coupling of the pendant alkynes in the PMAEP-r- PHEMA block in the common solvent methanol. The formation of the TPPs was confirmed by gel permeation chromatograph, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, static dynamic scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. In aqueous solution, the amphiphilic TPPs could self-assemble into regular superparticles, driven by aggregation of the hydrophobic "heads". Since in the structure there is no chain entanglement and the embedding of PDMAEMA chains disturb close-packing of the "heads", the superpartieles are responsive to a low-energy ultrasonic vibration, as evidenced by greatly enhanced release of the functional molecules from the superparticles by treatment of a low-energy ultrasound. Therefore, the superparticles should be very promising in the use as the drug carriers that can be manipulated from a long distance, considering that ultrasonic energy can be focused at a small area in a relatively long distance from the ultrasound-radiating source.展开更多

The use of ultrasonic dispersion decreases the beads' size and improves the uniformity. The effects of the porogen mixture, DVB content and solvent extraction on the surface performance of the synthesized beads were studied. The microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET surface area determination. It was found that a great proportion of the non-solvating porogen increases the pore diameter and the specific surface area. High DVB concentration also results in the great specific surface area and porosity. When the ratio of toluene/cyclohexanol is 1:2, DVB content is at the range of 40%-60% and methylene chloride was used as extractant, the beads with good spherical shape and pore size were obtained. The prepared porous microspheres were applied as active carriers and showed satisfactory slow release effect. Over 10h constantly sustained release was observed in vitro releasing test for hydroquinone-loaded microspheres. Great surface area promoted high concentration of released hydroquinone.展开更多

The cartier was applied to biological contact-oxidation of synthesized wastewater. The results showed that the surface contact angle of modified carrier was reduced 22%, and the adsorbed water content increased by 300%-500%. The period of biofilm formation reduced from 7-9 days to 3-4 days after modification and magnetization. The hiodegradation process was reduced from 22.5 h to 10.5 h for completely removal of 500 mg/L CODcr by using the modified carrier. When operating in continuous mode, the modified carrier can reach a maximum CODa removal rate of 99% at the air-water ration of 40:1, while the original polypropylene packing may only achieve the maximum degradation efficiency of 79% at the gas-water ratio of 30:1.展开更多

The catalyst has been systemically investi-gated by a series of characterizations such as TEM, N 2 adsorption, NMR, IR, XPS, etc. TEM and N 2 isotherms show that the sample maintains the nanoporous structure after the modification and coordination. XPS results show that chemical state of palladium species in the catalyst is mainly +2. More importantly, the catalyst shows very high activities and excellent recycla-bility in a series of coupling reactions including Suzuki, Sonogashira, and Heck reactions. Hot filtration and poison of catalysts experiments have also been performed and the results indicate that soluble active species (mainly Pd(0) species) in-situ gener-ated from the catalyst under the reaction conditions are the active intermediates, which would redeposit to the supporter after the reactions.展开更多

We examined the transmission of Tomato yellow leaf cur/China virus (TYLCCNV) by the invasive Q biotype and the indigenous ZHJ2 biotype of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, a plant viral vector, as well as the influence of TYLCCNV-infection of plants on the performance of the two whitefly biotypes. Both whitefly biotypes were able to acquire viruses from infected plants and retained them in their bodies, but were unable to transmit them to either tobacco or tomato plants. However, when the Q biotype fed on tobacco plants infected with TYLCCNV, its fecundity and longevity were increased by 7- and 1-fold, respectively, compared to those of the Q biotype fed on uninfected tobacco plants. When the ZHJ2 biotype fed on virus-infected plants, its fecundity and longevity were increased by only 2- and 0.5-fold, respectively. These data show that the Q biotype acquired higher beneficial effects from TYLCCNV-infection of tobacco plants than the ZHJ2 biotype. Thus, the Q biotype whitefly may have advantages in its invasion and displacement of the indigenous ZHJ2 biotype.展开更多
