Electrifying Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3-δ) for focalized heating in oxygen transport membranes

Industry decarbonization requires the development of highly efficient and flexible technologies relying on renewable energy resources,especially biomass and solar/wind electricity.In the case of pure oxygen production,oxygen transport membranes(OTMs)appear as an alternative technology for the cryogenic distillation of air,the industrially-established process of producing oxygen.Moreover,OTMs could provide oxygen from different sources(air,water,CO_(2),etc.),and they are more flexible in adapting to current processes,producing oxygen at 700^(-1)000℃.Furthermore,OTMs can be integrated into catalytic membrane reactors,providing new pathways for different processes.The first part of this study was focused on electrification on a traditional OTM material(Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3-δ)),imposing different electric currents/voltages along a capillary membrane.Thanks to the emerging Joule effect,the membrane-surface temperature and the associated O_(2) permeation flux could be adjusted.Here,the OTM is electrically and locally heated and reaches 900℃on the surface,whereas the surrounding of the membrane was maintained at 650℃.The O_(2)permeation flux reached for the electrified membranes was~3.7 NmL min^(-1)cm^(-2),corresponding to the flux obtained with an OTM non-electrified at 900℃.The influence of depositing a porous Ce_(0.8)Tb_(0.2)O_(2-δ) catalytic/protective layer on the outer membrane surface revealed that lower surface temperatures(830℃)were detected at the same imposed electric power.Finally,the electrification concept was demonstrated in a catalytic membrane reactor(CMR)where the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane(ODHE)was carried out.ODHE reaction is very sensitive to temperature,and here,we demonstrate an improvement of the ethylene yield by reaching moderate temperatures in the reaction chamber while the O_(2) injection into the reaction can be easily fine-tuned.

Ca_(2)MnO_(4)-layered perovskite modified by NaNO_(3)for chemical-looping oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene

Chemical-looping oxidative dehydrogenation(CL-ODH)is a process designed for the conversion of alkanes into olefins through cyclic redox reactions,eliminating the need for gaseous O_(2).In this work,we investigated the use of Ca_(2)MnO_(4)-layered perovskites modified with NaNO_(3)dopants,serving as redox catalysts(also known as oxygen carriers),for the CL-ODH of-thane within a temperature range of 700-780℃.Our findings revealed that the incorporation of NaNO_(3)as a modifier significantly-nhanced the selectivity for-thylene generation from Ca_(2)MnO_(4).At 750℃and a gas hourly space velocity of 1300 h^(-1),we achieved an-thane conversion up to 68.17%,accompanied by a corresponding-thylene yield of 57.39%.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis unveiled that the doping NaNO_(3)onto Ca_(2)MnO_(4)not only played a role in reducing the oxidation state of Mn ions but also increased the lattice oxygen content of the redox catalyst.Furthermore,formation of NaNO_(3)shell on the surface of Ca_(2)MnO_(4)led to a reduction in the concentration of manganese sites and modulated the oxygen-releasing behavior in a step-wise manner.This modulation contributed significantly to the-nhanced selectivity for-thylene of the NaNO_(3)-doped Ca_(2)MnO_(4)catalyst.These findings provide compelling-vidence for the potential of Ca_(2)MnO_(4)-layered perovskites as promising redox catalysts in the context of CL-ODH reactions.

New preparation method for halogenated ethanes and methanes via base-catalyzed halogen dance

Although literature abounds with examples of formation of perhaloalkanes by photo-lytic or Lewis-acid induced halogen exchange reactions involving radical or carbocationintermediates,the procedures are seldom applicable to the preparation of perhaloalkanes ingood yields under mild conditions.Recently,we have reported the spontaneous reactionsof some perhalofluoroalkanes with various types of nucleophiles.All these reactions areinitiated by the halophilic attack of nucleophiles on C—Br or C—Cl bonds,followed byanionic chain steps involving carbanion as well as olefin intermediates.Notably,the latter areformed after the β-elimination of a good leaving group from the former.On the other hand,it is well known that halogenated carbanions can effectively make halophilic attacks on theC—X bonds of other halogenated substrates,e.g.,in the“halogen dance”of Bunnett.There-

Rapid Access to Oxabicyclo[2.2.2 ]octane Skeleton through Cu(I)- Catalyzed Generation and Trapping of Vinyl-o-quinodimethanes (Vinyl-0-QDMs)

Summary of main observation and conclusion A Cu(I)-catalyzed three-component reaction of terminal enynals/enynones,diazo compounds,and al kenes has been developed.With this method,a series of oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes were effectively synthesized in high yields under mild reaction condi-tions.This transformation is proposed to proceed through trapping of the cyclic vinyl-o-quinodimethanes(vinyI-o-QDMs)species,which were generated from terminal enynals/enynones and diazo compounds by alkenes.The obvious advantages of wide substrate scopes,mild reaction conditions,and high seteroselectivity and atom eficiency make this reaction highly appealing for construction of highly rigid[2.2.2]octane skeleton.

Experimental investigation of gaseous solvent huff-n-puff in the Middle Bakken Formation

The efficacy of gaseous solvents in enhancing oil recovery(EOR)in unconventional reservoirs and the influence of operational and design parameters are still debated among the oil recovery research community.This work investigated the recovery-enhancing capabilities of two potent gaseous solvents,CO_(2) and ethane,in tight core samples.Laboratory huff-n-puff(H-n-P)experiments were conducted under three miscibility conditions to investigate the influence of the key operating parameters and the dependency of their impact on the miscibility conditions and gas composition.The results show that oil recovery increased with increasing pressure from below(BM)to above(AM)miscibility pressure in a non-linear trend,irrespective of the gas composition.Furthermore,the influence of the soak period was noticeably dependent on the miscibility condition,specifically more remarkable under AM conditions and less apparent under BM conditions.Likewise,the effect of the production period was more pronounced at AM conditions for both gases.Finally,the impact of rock surface area-to-volume(SA/V)was only observed at BM,where both gases recovered more oil in the core samples with high SA/V.In general,ethane showed a higher efficacy for oil recovery than CO_(2);CO_(2) recovered 21%–70%of oil in small core samples,while ethane could recover 32%–88%.The highest recovery was achieved with ethane injected under AM conditions,with a prolonged soak time,a short production period and into a core sample with a high SA/V.We believe the findings from this work will help better understand and design H-n-P EOR projects.

Taurine:an essential amino sulfonic acid for retinal health

Taurine(2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid)is a naturally occurring amino sulfonic acid derived from cysteine and methionine metabolism.Its common name derives from the ox,as it was first isolated from the bile of an ox(Froger et al.,2014).The molecular structure of taurine differs from that of amino acids by the presence of a sulfonic acid,instead of the more common carboxylic acid group in the structure of amino acids.

Adsorption dynamics of ethane from air in structured fixed beds with different microfibrous composites

Adsorption dynamics of ethane in two granular fixed beds and structured fixed beds with microfibrous composites was studied.5A zeolite membrane 5A/PSSF(paper-like sintered stainless steel fiber)and microfibrous entrapped activated carbon(MEAC)composites were prepared by wet layup papermaking/sintering technique and in-situ hydrothermal method.Microfibrous composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and N2 adsorption/desorption.Structured fixed beds were designed by filling granular adsorbents(5A zeolite or activated carbon)and microfibrous composites at the inlet and outlet of the beds,respectively.Effects of flow rate,bed height and structure on the breakthrough curves were investigated.The length of unused bed(LUB)was determined,and Yoon–Nelson model was used to fit the breakthrough curves.The experimental results showed ethane was effectively adsorbed on the granular adsorbents and microfibrous composites.Both composites could decrease the LUB values and enhance bed utilization.All breakthrough curves fitted well to Yoon–Nelson model,with correlation coefficient exceeding 0.89.The adsorption rate of ethane could be improved in the structured fixed beds,which showed an enhanced mass transfer efficiency for ethane adsorption.LUB values of structured fixed beds with 5A/PSSF composites were larger,the bed utilization values were lower,and the adsorption rate constants were higher than those with MEAC composites under the same conditions.

Simultaneous generation of electricity, ethylene and decomposition of nitrous oxide via protonic ceramic fuel cell membrane reactor

Ethylene,one of the most widely produced building blocks in the petrochemical industry,has received intense attention.Ethylene production,using electrochemical hydrogen pump-facilitated nonoxidative dehydrogenation of ethane(NDE)to ethylene,is an emerging and promising route,promoting the transformation of the ethylene industry from energy-intensive steam cracking process to new electrochemical membrane reactor technology.In this work,the NDE reaction is incorporated into a BaZr_(0.1)Ce_(0.7)Y_(0.1)Yb_(0.1)O_(3-δ)electrolyte-supported protonic ceramic fuel cell membrane reactor to co-generate electricity and ethylene,utilizing the Nb and Cu doped perovskite oxide Pr_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Fe_(0.8)Nb_(0.1)Cu_(0.1)O_(3-δ)(PSFNCu)as anode catalytic layer.Due to the doping of Nb and Cu,PSFNCu was endowed with high reduction tolerance and rich oxygen vacancies,showing excellent NDE catalytic performance.The maximum power density of the assembled reactor reaches 200 mW cm^(-2)at 750℃,with high ethane conversion(44.9%)and ethylene selectivity(92.7%).Moreover,the nitrous oxide decomposition was first coupled in the protonic ceramic fuel cell membrane reactor to consume the permeated protons.As a result,the generation of electricity,ethylene and decomposition of nitrous oxide can be simultaneously obtained by a single reactor.Specifically,the maximum power density of the cell reaches 208 mW cm^(-2)at 750℃,with high ethane conversion(45.2%),ethylene selectivity(92.5%),and nitrous oxide conversion(19,0%).This multi-win technology is promising for not only the production of chemicals and energy but also greenhouse gas reduction.

Plasma treated M1 MoVNbTeO_(x)-CeO_(2) composite catalyst for improved performance of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

High activity and productivity of MoVNbTeO_(x) catalyst are challenging tasks in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane(ODHE)for industrial application.In this work,phase-pure M1 with 30 wt%CeO_(2) composite catalyst was treated by oxygen plasma to further enhance catalyst performance.The results show that the oxygen vacancies generated by the solid-state redox reaction between M1 and CeO_(2) capture active oxygen species in gas and transform V^(4+)to V^(5+)without damage to M1 structure.The space-time yield of ethylene of the plasma-treated catalyst was significantly increased,in which the catalyst shows an enhancement near~100% than that of phase-pure M1 at 400℃ for ODHE process.Plasma treatment for catalysts demonstrates an effective way to convert electrical energy into chemical energy in catalyst materials.Energy conversion is achieved by using the catalyst as a medium.

Histological changes of the testis and epididymis in adult rats as a result of Leydig cell destruction after ethane dimethane sulfonate treatment： a morphometric study

Aim： To quantitatively study the histological changes of the testis and epididymis as a result of a drastic reduction of testosterone secretion. Methods： Fourteen adult Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with ethane dimethane sulfonate （EDS, 75 mg/kg） and the same number of animals were injected with normal saline as a control. At days 7 and 12 （after treatment）, respectively, half of the animals from each group were killed. The testes and epididymides were removed and tissue blocks embedded in methacrylate resin. The cell number per testis was estimated using the stereological optical disector and some other parameters were obtained using other morphometric methods. Results： The EDS treatment resulted in an almost complete elimination of Leydig cells but had no effect on the numbers of Sertoli cells per testis. At day 7 after EDS treatment, many elongated spermatids were retained in the seminiferous epithelium and many round spermatids could be seen in the epididymal ducts. At day 12, a looser arrangement of spermatids and spermatocytes became evident, with apparent narrow empty spaces being formed between germ cells in an approximately radial direction towards the tubule lumen; the numbers （per testis） of non-type B spermatogonia and spermatocytes were similar to controls, whereas that of type B spermatogonia increased by 59%, and that of early round, elongating and late elongated spermatids decreased by 37%, 72% and 52%, respectively. Conclusion： The primary spermatogenic lesions following EDS administration were （i） spermiation failure and （ii） detachment of spermatids and spermatocytes associated with impairment in spermiogenesis and meiosis.

Endocrine Disruption Activity of 30-day Dietary Exposure to Decabromodiphenyl Ethane in Balb/C Mouse

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the hepatotoxicity, metabolic disturbance activity and endocrine disrupting activity of mice treated by Decabromodiphenyl ethane （DBDPE）. Methods In this study, Balb/C mice were treated orally by gavage with various doses of DBDPE. After 30 days of treatment, mice were sacrificed; blood, livers and thyroid glands were obtained, and hepatic microsomes were isolated. Biochemical parameters including 8 clinical chemistry parameters, blood glucose and hormone levels including insulin and thyroid hormone were assayed. The effects of DBDPE on hepatic cytochrome P450 （CYP） levels and activities and uridinediphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase （UDPGT） activities were investigated. Liver and thyroid glands were observed. Results There were no obvious signs of toxicity and no significant treatment effect on body weight, or liver-to-body weight ratios between treatment groups. The levels of ALT and AST of higher dose treatment groups were markedly increased. Blood glucose levels of treatment groups were higher than those of control group. There was also an induction in TSH, T3, and f T3. UDPGT, PROD, and EROD activities were found to have been increased significantly in the high dose group. Histopathologic liver changes were characterized by hepatocyte hypertrophy and cytoplasmic vacuolization. Our findings suggest that DBDPE can cause a certain degree of mouse liver damage and insufficiency. Conclusion DBDPE has the activity of endocrine disruptors in Bal/C mice, which may induce drug-metabolizing enzymes including CYPs and UDPGT, and interfere with thyroid hormone levels mediated by Ah R and CAR signaling pathways. Endocrine disrupting activity of DBDPE could also affect the glucose metabolism homeostasis.

Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis Induction in Human HepG2 Hepatoma Cells by Decabromodiphenyl Ethane

Abstract Objective To investigate the toxic effects of decabromodiphenyl ethane （DBDPE）, used as an alternative to decabromodiphenyl ether in vitro. Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in the presence of DBDPE at various concentrations （3.125-100.0 mg/L） for 24, 48, and 72 h respectively and the toxic effect of DBDPE was studied. Results As evaluated by the 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase assays and nuclear morphological changes, DBDPE inhibited HepG2 viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner within a range of 12.5 mg/L to 100 mg/L and for 48 h and 72 h. Induction of apoptosis was detected at 12.5-100 mg/L at 48 h and 72 h by propidium iodide staining, accompanied with overproduction of reactive oxygen species （ROS）. Furthermore, N-acetyI-L-cysteine, a widely used ROS scavenger, significantly reduced DBDPE-induced ROS levels and increased HepG2 cells viability. Conclusion DBDPE has cytotoxic and anti-proliferation effect and can induce apoptosis in which ROS plays an important role

Reversed ethane/ethylene adsorption in a metal–organic framework via introduction of oxygen

Separation of ethane from ethylene is a very important but challenging process in the petrochemical industry.Finding an alternative method would reduce the energy needed to make 170 million tons of ethylene manufactured worldwide each year.Adsorptive separation using C2H6-selective porous materials to directly produce high-purity C2H4 is more energy-efficient.We herein report the"reversed C2H6/C2H4 adsorption"in a metal–organic framework Cr-BTC via the introduction of oxygen on its open metal sites.The oxidized Cr-BTC(O2)can bind C2H6 over C2H4 through the active Cr-superoxo sites,which was elucidated by the gas sorption isotherms and density functional theory calculations.This material thus exhibits a good performance for the separation of 50/50 C2H6/C2H4 mixtures to produce 99.99%pure C2H4 in a single separation operation.

Visible-light driven room-temperature coupling of methane to ethane by atomically dispersed Au on WO_(3)

Gold(Au)as co-catalyst is remarkable for activating methane(CH4),especially atomically dispersed Au with maximized exposing active sites and specific electronic structure.Furthermore,singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))typically manifests a mild redox capacity with a high selectivity to attack organic substrates.Peroxomonosulfate(PMS)favors to produce oxidative species 102 during the photocatalytic reactions.Thus,combining atomic Au as co-catalyst and ^(1)O_(2) as oxidant is an effective strategy to selectively convert CH4.Herein,we synthesized atomically dispersed Au on WO_(3)(Au/WO_(3)),where Au was in the forms of single atoms and clusters.At room temperature,such Au/WO_(3) exhibited enhanced photocata lytic conversion of CH4 to CH3 CH3 with a selectivity,up to 94%,under visible light.The radicals-pathway mechanism of CH4 coupling has also been investigated through detection and trapping experiment of active species.Theoretical calculations further interpret the electronic structure of Au/WO_(3) and tip-enhanced local electric field at the Au sites for promoting CH4 conversion.

Surface Acidity/Basicity and Catalytic Reactivity of CeO2/7-Al2O3 Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane with Carbon Dioxide to Ethylene

Dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene in CO_2 was investigated overCeO_2/γ-Al_2O_3 catalysts at 700℃ in a conventional flow reactor operating at atmosphericpressure. XRD, BET and microcalori-metric adsorption techniques were used to characterize thestructure and surface acidity/basicity of the CeO_2/γ-Al_2O_3 catalysts. The results show that thesurface acidity decreased while the surface basicity increased after the addition of CeO_2 toγ-Al_2O_3. Accordingly, the activity of the hydrogenation reaction of CO_2 increased, which mightbe responsible for the enhanced conversion in the dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene. The highestethane conversion obtained was about 15% for the 25%CeO_2/γ-Al_2O_3. The selectivity to ethylenewas high for all the CeO_2, γ-Al_2O_3 and CeO2/γ-Al_2O_3 catalysts.

Supported ZnO catalysts for the conversion of alkanes:About the metamorphosis of a heterogeneous catalyst

ZnO could be a suitable catalyst for the oxidative conversion of CH4,C2H6 and C3H8.However,the main drawback is its thermal instability.Therefore,ZnO supported on ZrO 2,TiO2,γ-Al2O and SiO2 was investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane and ethane,and the oxidative coupling of methane.The stability of the supported ZnO is partially improved,but ZnO reacts with the support material,forming new compounds （Zn-zirconates,-titanates,-aluminates and-silicates）,which already occurs below reaction temperature.This might also be the case for many other heterogeneous catalysts.
