Facile synthesis of hypercrosslinked resin via photochlorination of p-xylene and succedent alkylation polymerization

A combination of photochlorination ofp-xylene and succedent Friedel-Crafts alkylation polymerization was firstly used in the preparation of the hypercrosslinked adsorptive resin. The data of GC-MS and GC showed that a series of chlorizates were produced when p-xylene was photochlorinated. Hypercrosslinked resins could be synthesized by copolymerization, self-polymerization of chlorizates or post crosslinking reaction. The chemical structure and micromorphology of the porous resins were characterized by BET, FF-IR, SEM and elementary analysis （EA）. The results showed that the novel adsorptive resins possess high BET surface near to 1038 m^2/g and large pore volumes range from 0.5 to 1.2 cm^3/g.

Integrated UV-based photo microreactor-distillation technology toward process intensification of continuous ultra-high-purity electronic-grade silicon tetrachloride manufacture

Ultra-high-purity silicon tetrachloride(SiCl4)is demanded as an electronic-grade chemical to meet the stringent requirements of the rapidly developing semiconductor industry.The high requirement for ultra-high-purity SiCl4 has created the need for a high-efficient process for reducing energy consumption as well as satisfying product quality.In this paper,a mass of production technology of ultra-high-purity SiCl4 was successfully developed through chlorination reaction in the ultraviolet(UV)-based photo microreactor coupled with the distillation process.The influences of key operational parameters,including temperature,pressure,UV wavelength and light intensity on the product quality,especially for hydrogen-containing impurities,were quantified by the infrared transmittance of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)at 2185 cm^-1and 2160 cm^-1indicating that chara cteristic vib rational modes of Si-H bonds,as well as the operating conditions of distillation were also investigated as key factors for metal impurities removing.The advanced intensification of SiCl4 manufactured by the integration of photo microreactor and distillation achieves the products with superior specifications higher than the standard commercial products.

Melanoma: Surgery Subsequent to PDT—Is It Worth Doing? A 10-Year Pilot Trial Using Chlorin-Type Photosensitizer Bremachlorin^&reg

Bremachlorin&reg, also known as “Radachlorin&reg” and Photochlorin, a composition of 3 chlorophyll a derivatives in an aqueous solution [1], was initially introduced into the Russian and South Korean Pharmacopoeias with the corresponding marketing authorizations received in 2006 and 2008, on the basal cell skin carcinoma PDT protocol. Phase I-II clinical trials led in 2002-2005 showed no side effects, a good tolerability by patients and a high clinical anti-tumor efficacy. Further studies described in the present paper were fulfilled in accordance with a skin melanoma PDT + surgery combined technique protocol in 2006-2016. Resulting from the present trial, up to the 100% complete responses were achieved after resection and plastic surgery following PDT, with no melanoma regrowth or metastases during 5 and 10-year observation periods. Conducting PDT one day prior to tumor dissection can guarantee to meet the ablastics principles at the subsequent surgery. At the same time, the PDT + surgery protocol can allow for dissecting the tumor with less distance from its edge, which seems to be important for the face localizations of tumors.
