AlCl_(3)modified Pd/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst for enhanced anthraquinone hydrogenation

Anthraquinone hydrogenation to produce H_(2)O_(2) is an economically interesting reaction with great industrial importance.Here,we report a series of Pd/xAl catalysts with different AlCl_(3) contents by a conventional stepwise impregnation method.The optimal Pd/1.0Al catalyst exhibits a higher performance toward anthraquinone hydrogenation with 8.3 g·L^(-1)hydrogenation efficiency,99.5%selectivity and good stability,obviously superior to that of Pd/Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst(5.2 g·L^(-1)and 97.2%).Detailed characterization demonstrates that AlCl_(3) can be grafted on the γ-Al_(2)O_(3) support to obtain a modified support with abundant surface weak acid and Lewis acid,which can adsorb and activate anthraquinone.Meanwhile,its steric hindrance could isolate and disperse active metals to form more active sites.The synergies between metal sites and acid sites promotes the anthraquinone hydrogenation.Furthermore,the good stability after grafting AlCl_(3) could attribute to the enhanced metal-support interaction inhibiting metal particles agglomeration and leaching.

Preparation of Diphenyl Oxalate from Transesterification of Dimethyl Oxalate with Phenol over TS-1 Catalyst

Diphenyl oxalate was synthesized from transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol over TS-1 ( 2.5 wt% Ti ) catalyst. TS-1 catalyst, as a heterogeneous catalyst, showed excellent selectivity of diphenyl oxalate and methylphenyl oxalate compared with other homogeneous catalysts. Lewis acid sites on TS-1 catalyst were the active sites for transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol. The high selectivity was closely related to the weak acid sites over TS-1.

离子排斥色谱用于厌氧消化处理的水中脂肪族羧酸的分析(英文)

The analysis of seven aliphatic carboxylic acids(formic,acetic,propionic,iso-butyric,n-butyric,iso-valeric and n-valeric acid) in anaerobic digestion process waters for biogas production was examined by ion-exclusion chromatography with dilute acidic eluents(benzoic acid,perfluorobutyric acid(PFBA) and sulfuric acid) and non-suppressed conductivity/ultraviolet(UV) detection.The columns used were a styrene/divinylbenzene-based strongly acidic cation-exchange resin column(TSKgel SCX) and a polymethacrylate-based weakly acidic cation-exchange resin column(TSKgel Super IC-A/C).Good separation was performed on the TSKgel SCX in shorter retention times.For the TSKgel Super IC-A/C,peak shape of the acids was sharp and symmetrical in spite of longer retention times.In addition,the mutual separation of the acids was good except for iso-and n-butyric acids.The better separation and good detection was achieved by using the two columns(TSKgel SCX and TSKgel Super IC-A/C connected in series),lower concentrations of PFBA and sulfuric acid as eluents,non-suppressed conductivity detection and UV detection at 210 nm.This analysis was applied to anaerobic digestion process waters.The chromatograms with conductivity detection were relatively simpler compared with those of UV detection.The use of two columns with different selectivities for the aliphatic carboxylic acids and the two detection modes was effective for the determination and identification of the analytes in anaerobic digestion process waters containing complex matrices.

Adsorption behavior of ytterbium (Ⅲ) on gel-type weak acid resin

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Yb（Ⅲ） on gel-type weak acid resin （110） were investigated. The influence of operational conditions such as contact time,initial concentration of Yb（Ⅲ）,initial pH of solution and temperature on the adsorption of Yb（Ⅲ） were also examined. The results showed that the optimal adsorption condition of 110 resin for Yb（Ⅲ） was achieved at pH=5.5 in HAc-NaAc medium. The maximum uptake capacity of Yb（Ⅲ） was 265.8 mg/g at 298 K. Yb（Ⅲ） could be eluted by using 3.0 mol/L HCl solution and the 110 resin could be regenerated and reused. The adsorption of Yb（Ⅲ） followed the Langmuir isotherm,and the correlation coefficients were evaluated. Various thermodynamic parameters such as standard enthalpy change （△H）,standard entropy change （△S） and standard free energy change （△G） were evaluated. The adsorption of Yb（III） on the 110 resin was found to be endothermic in nature. Thomas model was successfully applied to experimental data to predict the breakthrough curves and to determine the characteristics parameters of the column useful for process design. And the resin sample both before and after adsorption was described by IR spectroscopy.

Adsorption behavior of benzenesulfonic acid by novel weakly basic anion exchange resins

Two novel weakly basic anion exchange resins（SZ-1 and SZ-2） were prepared via the reaction of macroporous chloromethylated polystyrene-divinylbenzene（Cl-PS-DVB） beads with dicyclohexylamine and piperidine, respectively. The physicochemical structures of the resulting resins were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and pore size distribution analysis. The adsorption behavior of SZ-1 and SZ-2 for benzenesulfonic acid（BA） was evaluated, and the common commercial weakly basic anion exchanger D301 was also employed for comparison purpose. Adsorption isotherms and influence of solution p H, temperature and coexisting competitive inorganic salts（Na2SO4and Na Cl） on adsorption behavior were investigated and the optimum desorption agent was obtained.Adsorption isotherms of BA were found to be well represented by the Langmuir model.Thermodynamic parameters involving ΔH, ΔG and ΔS were also calculated and the results indicate that adsorption is an exothermic and spontaneous process. Enhanced selectivity of BA sorption over sulfate on the two novel resins was observed by comparison with the commercial anion exchanger D301. The fact that the tested resins loaded with BA can be efficiently regenerated by Na Cl solution indicates the reversible sorption process. From a mechanistic viewpoint, this observation clearly suggests that electrostatic interaction is the predominant adsorption mechanism. Furthermore, results of column tests show that SZ-1possesses a better adsorption property than D301, which reinforces the feasibility of SZ-1for potential industrial application.

A facile and universal method to achieve liposomal remote loading of non-ionizable drugs with outstanding safety profiles and therapeutic effect

Liposomes have made remarkable achievements as drug delivery vehicles in the clinic.Liposomal products mostly benefited from remote drug loading techniques that succeeded in amphipathic and/or ionizable drugs,but seemed impracticable for nonionizable and poorly water-soluble therapeutic agents,thereby impeding extensive promising drugs to hitchhike liposomal vehicles for disease therapy.In this study,a series of weak acid drug derivatives were designed by a simplistic one step synthesis,which could be remotely loaded into liposomes by p H gradient method.Cabazitaxel(CTX)weak acid derivatives were selected to evaluate regarding its safety profiles,pharmacodynamics,and pharmacokinetics.CTX weak acid derivative liposomes were superior to Jevtanaa in terms of safety profiles,including systemic toxicity,hematological toxicity,and potential central nerve toxicity.Specifically,it was demonstrated that liposomes had capacity to weaken potential toxicity of CTX on cortex and hippocampus neurons.Significant advantages of CTX weak acid derivative-loaded liposomes were achieved in prostate cancer and metastatic cancer therapy resulting from higher safety and elevated tolerated doses.

Removal of Low-concentration Ammonia from Ambient Air by Aluminophosphates

A series of aluminumphosphate materials was prepared and used as adsorbents for the removal of ammonia at low concentrations. The influence of various preparation parameters, including the pH value of sol, calcination temperature and molar ratio of P/A1, on the structure and surface properties as well as adsorption capacity was investigated. The results showed that large amount of P-OH present on the surface of aluminophosphates was suitable for the removal of ammonia. They were the major source of weak Br6nsted acid sites and acted as the main active centers for capturing ammonia.
