We showed that the optimal conditions of the pretreatment for poplar waste were an initial p H value of 10, a temperature of 195℃, a holding time of 15 min, and an oxygen pressure of 1.2 MPa. In this case, the yield of the obtained solid material produced by the process was 51.7% and the reducing sugar yield was 46.8%. The solid part obtained from the pretreatment process was hydrolyzed by cellulase L-10. The optimal enzymatic conditions were a temperature of 49℃, a duration time of 56 h, an enzyme dosage of 38 FPU/g at a p H value of 4.8, and a solid-to-liquor ratio of 1∶50. The resulting cellulose conversion rate reached 96.4% in terms of the pretreated substances. In addition, a chemical composition analysis of the poplar waste and pretreated material indicated that about 92% of the hemicelluloses and 43% of the lignin in the raw material were degraded and dissolved. In addition, the crystallization decreased from 57.5% to 54.8%. An obvious fibrillation of the fiber pretreated by the wet oxidization process was observed by SEM. Moreover, high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) results showed a high xylose content and monosaccharide degradation products in the pretreatment solution. In conclusion, the wet oxidation pretreatment process could efficiently degrade or remove the lignin and hemicellulose, as well as reduce the crystallinity of the lignocellulosic material, which resulted in animprovement of the enzymatic ability and an increase in the cellulose conversion rate.展开更多

The characterization results of XRD, IR and SEM show that the hydrolysis reaction can be realized at a low reaction temperature of 80 ℃ and a reaction time of 24 h. Moreover, the greyish-green α-CrOOH with a hexagonal plate-like morphology and a large size of 10 μm is formed via the hydrolysis of the single-phase hexagonal KCrO2, while the green sol-gel of amorphous Cr(OH)3 with a lumpy aggregate morphology is generated through the hydrolysis of a cubic K3 CrO4. It is a facile and rapid method to synthesize pure-phase chromium oxyhydroxide via the above hydrolysis.展开更多

The structures and characteristics of the prepared Fe3O4 films were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atom force microscopy (AFM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and thermogravimetric-differentia thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The results show that, (1) the as-synthesized Fe3O4 films are pure Fe3O4 with cubic inverse spinel structure; (2) the network structured film can be obtained at lower temperature, and the compact particle film at higher temperature; (3) the prepared Fe3O4 films are super-paramagnetic, and the saturation magnetization is improved with increasing the reaction temperature, which is 49.03 emu/g at 80℃; (4) the temperature of phase transformation from Fe3O4 to a-Fe2O3 is about 495℃. Besides, the formation mechanism of Fe3O4 film was also proposed.展开更多

[ Method ] White glutinous rice was hydrolyzed using four kinds of proteases including neutral protease, alkaline protease, papain and trypsin. Using the scavenging rate of hydroxyl radical ( ·OH) as an indicator and appropriate protease as hydrolytic enzyme, the effects of protein substrate concentration, enzyme dosage, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature and initial pH on the abilities of proteases to scavenge hydroxyl radical from enzymatic hydrolysis solution of glutinous rice were investigated. Based on single-factor test, L9 (34) orthogonal experimental design was adopted, to determine the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis condi- tions leading to the highest oxidation resistance activity of enzymatic hydrolysis solution. [ Result] The optimized process parameters for enzymatic hydrolysis of glu- tinous rice protein with neutral protease were: protein substrate concentration of 2%, enzyme dosage of 24 000 U/g protein (protein meter), enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 55 ℃, initial pH of 8.0, and enzymatic hydrolysis duration of 0.5 h; under these conditions, the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate could reach 56. 05% ; protein substrate concentration, enzyme dosage, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature and initial pH had extremely significant effects on the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate. In addition, the activities of antioxidant peptides in glutinous rice hydrolysates were well maintained within a temperature range of 60 - 100℃. [Condusion] The study produced theoretical feasibility reference for the production of functional base powder by spray drying.展开更多

The photocatalysts prepared were characterized by XRD, thermal analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis and SPS. The characterization results of FTIR and UV-Vis spectra show that Ti atoms were gradually changed from octahedral coordination to tetrahedral coordination with the addition of silica, which is not beneficial for obtaining strong Brnsted acidity and higher photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic activity experiments, which were conducted by using heptane(or SO 2) as the model reactant, showed that TiO 2-SiO 2 containing a suitable amount of silica can exhibit much higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO 2. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to three following factors: (1) smaller crystalline size; (2) higher thermal stability; (3) the new strong Brnsted acidity.展开更多

The influences of the calcination temperature, additive content (2.5%-10.0% Fe2O3, mass fraction) and the basic density of the activation process were thoroughly investigated. The surface of catalysts was characterized by Boehm titration. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that catalysts with 2.5%-5.0% Fe2O3 after calcining at 500 ℃ have superior activity. The conversion rate of COS increases with increasing the relative density of basic capacity loaded onto activated carbon(AC), and the activity follows the order: KOH〉Na2CO3 〉NaHCO3. Boehm titration data clearly show that the total acidity increases (from 0.06 to 0.48 mmol/g) and the basic groups decrease (from 0.78 to 0.56 mmol/g) after COS hydrolysis and H2S adsorption. The XPS results show that the product of HzS may be absorbed by the interaction with metal compounds and 02 to form sulfate (171.28 eV) and element sulfur (164.44 eV), which lead to catalysts poisoning.展开更多

The surface modification on the cellulose was performed by the sol-gel process, in which the sulfate groups from hydrolysis were replaced by nanoparticles of zinc oxide, which led to the increase of up to 54°C Tonset, according to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results. The morphology and crystallinity degree were characterized by Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction. In addition, the ZnO band was observed in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, furthermore, the change in the zeta potential confirmed the cellulose modification. The changes in the values of proton spin-spin relaxation time for the systems showing the confined hydrogen in the rigid domains, confirmed the results observed with the aforementioned techniques, for both cellulose after hydrolysis and ZnO modified cellulose, suggesting that ZnO disrupted crystal formation in cellulose.展开更多
