The reactions of these silylamine with benzoyl chloride indicated that in comparison with electronic, the steric effect played more important role on the reactivity of Si-N bond. As a new method, unsymmetrical diamide can produced by the reaction of the title compounds with diacid chloride.

Effects of Cu on Corrosion Resistance of Low Alloyed Steels in Acid Chloride Media

The corrosion resistance of two kinds of low alloyed steels was studied according to the test procedures for qualification of corrosion resistant steel for cargo oil tanks issued by International Maritime Organization. The results indicated that the addition of Cu improved the corrosion resistance of the NS-D36 steel to more than three times that of the conventional D36 steel in the strong acid solution containing chloride （10% NaC1, pHi0.85）. The anodic polarization behavior of the copper-bearing steel was studied by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, and alloying element Cu showed beneficial effects including an active potential range, low current density and high transfer resistance of electric charge. The rust layer was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Auger electron spectroscopy （AES）, and the results pointed out that the mechanism of copper＇s benefi cial effects was based on the suppression of anodic dissolution by metallic copper re-deposition on the steel surface immersed in the strong acid chloride media.

Ion-pair induced solvent extraction of lithium(Ⅰ)from acidic chloride solutions with tributyl phosphate

Lithium(Li)is an important energy metal in the 21st century.However,the selective recovery of Li is still a big challenge,especially from acidic solutions with multiple metal ions existence.Herein we report a new ion pair induced mechanism for selectively extracting Li^(+)from acidic chloride solutions by tributyl phosphate(TBP).It is shown that the acidity and the chloride ions in the aqueous phase have great effects on the extraction of Li^(+).The FT-IR,UV-Vis and ESI-MS experiments provide solid evidence for the formation of ion-pair complex[Li(TBP)_n(H_(2)O)_(m)]^(+)[FeCl_(4)]^(-)(n-1,2,3;m-0,1)in the organic phase,which brings about the effective and efficient extraction of Li^(+).This mechanism can overcome the Hofmeister bias and allow for the selective extraction of Li^(+) from the extremely hydrophilic chlorides.It has also been proved that the loaded Li in TBP can be effectively stripped by concentrated HCl solution with a Li/Fe separation factor>500.The understanding of the ion-pair transport mechanism is helpful for optimizing the recovery process or further advancing more efficient recovery techniques for Li from acidic liquor.

Influence of cementite spheroidization on relieving the micro-galvanic effect of ferrite-pearlite steel in acidic chloride environment

The corrosion behavior of the as-received steel and the spheroidized steel in acidic chloride environment was investigated. The results indicate the corrosion mode and corrosion rate of two steels are diverse due to their difference in microstructure. For as-received steel with ferrite-pearlite microstructure, severe localized corrosion happens on the pearlite regions, and plenty of cathodic cementite remains in the pits, further strengthening the micro-galvanic effect and accelerating the corrosion rate. While for spheroidized steel with tempered martensite microstructure, the nanosized cementite particles evenly distributed on the ferrite substrate are easy to fall off, which can significantly reduce the cementite accumulation on the steel surface, relieving the acceleration effect of micro-galvanic corrosion.

Reaction kinetics of isopropyl palmitate synthesis

In this study, the kinetics of isopropyl palmitate synthesis including the reaction mechanism was studied based on the two-step noncatalytic method. The liquid-phase diffusion effect on the reaction process was eliminated by adjusting the stirring rate. The results showed that the two-step reaction followed a tetrahedral mechanism and conformed to second-order reaction kinetics. Nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon afforded an intermediate, containing a tetrahedral carbon center. The intermediate ultimately decomposed by elimination of the leaving group, affording isopropyl palmitate. The experimental data were analyzed at different temperatures by the integral method. The kinetic equations of the each step were deduced, and the activation energy and frequency factor were obtained. Experiments were performed to verify the feasibility of kinetic equations, and the result showed that the kinetic equations were reliable. This study could be very signi ficant to both industrial application and determining the continuous production of isopropyl palmitate.

The SrCl2-cocatalyzed acidic hydrolysis of methyl glycosides is highlighted by short reaction times, less byproducts and high yields. A possible mechanism for the SrCl2-cocatalyzed hydrolysis is also proposed.

The effect of altering crosslinker chemistry during interfacial polymerization on the performance of nanofiltration membranes for desalination, organic, and micropollutants removal

Chemistry of the polyamide active layer of a desalination membrane is critical in determining both its physical and chemical properties.In this study,we designed and fabricated three novel membranes with different active layers using the crosslinkers:terephthaloyl chloride,isophthaloyl chloride,and trimesoyl chloride.The crosslinkers were reacted with an aqueous solution of an aliphatic tetra-amine.Because these crosslinkers differ in their structures and crosslinking mechanisms during interfacial polymerization,the resultant membranes also possess different structural properties.The water contact angle of the fabricated membranes also varies;the water contact angles of 4A-3P-TPC@PSF/PET,4A-3P-TMC@PSF/PET,and 4A-3P-IPC@PSF/PET,are 68.9°,65.6°,and 53.9°,respectively.Similarly,the desalination performance of resultant membranes also showed variations,with 4A-3P-TPC@PSF/PET,4A-3P-IPC@PSF/PET,and 4A-3P-TMC@PSF/PET having a permeate flux of 17.14,25.70,and 30.90 L·m^(−2)·h^(−1),respectively,at 2.5 MPa.The 4A-3P-TPC@PSF/PET membrane exhibited extensive crosslinking with aliphatic linear amine,and cationic dye rhodamine B,MgCl_(2),and amitriptyline rejection rates of 98.6%,92.7%and 80.9%,respectively.The 4A-3P-TMC@PSF/PET membrane showed mediocre performance,while 4A-3P-IPC@PSF/PET membrane showed even lower performance,with a 35%rejection of methyl orange dye.

Hyperbranched polymer surfactant: synthesis, characterization and surface tension activity

A series of hyperbranched polymer surfactants(HBP-C8,HBP-C12 and HBP-C16)were synthesized by the reaction between hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polymers(HBP)and fatty acyl chloride.The structure of obtained hyperbranched polymer surfactant was characterized by FTIR,NMR and GPC.The results showed that the products have amphiphilic structure.The thermal property of the hyperbranched polymer surfactant investigated by DSC and TGA was strongly influenced by the length of end alkyl chain.Surface activity of hyperbranched polymer surfactant was analyzed by surface tension method and UV spectrophotometry,respectively.The results showed that hyperbranched polymer surfactant took on better surface activity,which can effectively reduce the surface tension of the water.The hyperbranched polymer surfactant has a lower critical micelle concentration(CMC)and displays single molecular micellar properties,which can package small hydrophilic molecules in relatively low concentration.

The effect of salinity on waste activated sludge alkaline fermentation and kinetic analysis

The effect of salinity on sludge alkaline fermentation at low temperature（20°C） was investigated, and a kinetic analysis was performed. Different doses of sodium chloride（Na Cl, 0–25 g/L） were added into the fermentation system. The batch-mode results showed that the soluble chemical oxygen demand（SCOD） increased with salinity. The hydrolysate（soluble protein, polysaccharide） and the acidification products（short chain fatty acids（SCFAs）, NH＋4–N, and PO_4^（3-）–P） increased with salinity initially, but slightly declined respectively at higher level salinity（20 g/L or 20–25 g/L）. However, the hydrolytic acidification performance increased in the presence of salt compared to that without salt.Furthermore, the results of Haldane inhibition kinetics analysis showed that the salt enhanced the hydrolysis rate of particulate organic matter from sludge particulate and the specific utilization of hydrolysate, and decreased the specific utilization of SCFAs. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis indicated that the importance of polysaccharide on the accumulation of SCFAs was reduced with salt addition, but the importance of protein and NH＋4–N on SCFA accumulation was increased.
