Catalytic depolymerization of calcium lignosulfonate by NiMgFeO_x derived from sub-micron sized NiMgFe hydrotalcite prepared by introducing hydroxyl compounds

A new method for regulating the synthesis of Ni Mg Fe hydrotalcites(NMF LDHs) with the addition of hydroxyl compounds was proposed. A series of NMF LDHs were prepared by the above method, and then were calcined to obtain the Ni Mg FeOx(NMFOx) samples. The NMFOxsamples were characterized by XRD,SEM, TG-DTG, XPS and CO2-TPD, respectively. The catalytic performance of NMFOxfor depolymerizing calcium lignosulfonate(CLS) was evaluated by hydrothermal reaction. The results showed that the addition of hydroxyl compounds favored reducing the particle sizes of NMF LDHs. For the depolymerization of CSL, the yield of liquid product increased from 45% to 75.8% with the addition of NMFOx-ethanol(NMFOxET). The liquid products were mainly phenolics, aromatics, ketones and esters. The total selectivity of oxy-containing compounds was over 90.6%, among them, the phenolics were approximately 35.2%. The valence of Ni and Fe, crystalline phase and basicity almost remained unchanged. The NMFOx-ET samples were recycled for the depolymerization of CLS, moreover, the NMFOx-ET samples had high activity and stability after 4 cycles.

Preparation,Characterization and Application of ZnAlLa-Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds

The preparation of ZnAlLa-hydrotalcite-like compounds [ZnAlLa-HTLcs] wasstudied. ZnAlLa-HTLcs were synthesized by a method of variable pH with the raw materials ofZn(NO_3)_2, Al(NO_3)_3, La(NO_3)_3, and NaOH. The eS'ccts of some factors (i.e. pH values, the moleratio of Al^(3+) to La^(3+), temperature and the period of hydrothermal treatment) on thepreparation of HTLcs were discussed systematically. XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR spectroscopy, and ICP wereperformed to characterize ZnAlLa-HTLcs samples, and the thermal stability of HTLcs was alsodiscussed. It was shown that unique ZnAlLa-HTLcs with high crystallinity can be prepared, under theconditions of pH = 5.5-6.5, n(Zn^(2+))/n(Al^(3+) + La^(3+))=2 and the atomic ratio of La^(3+) toAl^(3+) ranging from 0.07 to 2, hydrothermal treatment at 120 ℃ for 5 h. When the calcination ofthe HTLcs is performed at temperatures above 200 ℃, ZnO phase is detected with Al_2O_3 and La_2O_3spreading on its top. The complex metal oxides derived from ZnAlLa-HTLcs at 500 ℃ have highercatalytic activity and selectivity than those from ZnAl-HTLcs for the esterification of acetic acidwith n-butanol under the same reaction conditions.

Preparation,Characterization,and Catalytical Application of MgCoAl-Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds

MgCoAl-hydrotalcite-like compounds （MgCoAI-HTLcs） were synthesized using the coprecipitation method of variable pH values. The effect of each factor on the preparation of HTLcs was discussed systematically, which included pH values, mole ratios of Mg2＋ to Co2＋, the concentrations of the solution, and the temperature and time of the hydrothermal treatment. Besides, the thermal decomposition of MgCoAI-HTLcs was discussed. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy were performed to characterize the MgCoAI-HTLcs samples. The results showed that when the pH = 7.6-8.5 or 5.5-6.2, atomic ratios of （Mg^2＋＋Co2＋）/Al^3＋ 2 and Mg^2＋/Co^2＋ ranging from 1.00 to 2.00, temperature and time of hydrothermal treatment being 110℃ and 6 h, unique MgCoAI-HTLcs with high crystallinity could be obtained. When the calcination temperature was up to 250℃, the MgO phase was detected coexisting with Al2O3 and MgAl2O4 was highly spreaded on the derived mixed oxides. The synthesis reaction of benzoin methyl ether with methanol and benzaldehyde was chosen to study the catalytic activity of MgCoAI-HTLcs. The catalyst showed high activity and high stability in the synthesis of benzoin methyl ether in the feasible condition.

Studies on the Synthesis and the Structure of Ferric Aluminum Magnesium Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

The particles of ferric aluminum magnesium hydrotalcite-like compounds (Fe-Al-Mg_HTlc) were synthesized by co-precipitation method. It was found that when n(Fe)/n(Al+Mg+Fe)<0.30 and n(Al)/n(Al+Mg+Fe)<0.30, pure HTlc can be formed; when the molar ratio of Al/ (Fe+Al+Mg)>0.30, Al(OH)3 will emerge; when the molar ratio of Fe/(Fe+Al+Mg) >0.30, the amorphous composition will appear. Hence Fe3+ and Al3+ have no concentration superposition effect on the crystal structure of the samples.

The Isoelectric Point and the Points of Zero Charge of Fe-Al-Mg Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

The relation of the isoelectric point (IEP) and the point of zero net charge (PZNC) of the hydrotalcite-like compounds was discussed. It was found that the IEP does not equal to the PZNC and the IEP is higher than the PZNC. The structural positive charges existing in the HTlc, which cause the difference between the IEP and the PZNC. The effects of the structural positive charges of the HTlc on its IEP and PZNC are the same as the specific adsorption of metal cations.

The X-CoMnMgAl hydrotalcite-like precursors(X-LDHs) were first synthesized by the coprecipitation method using Cl-, CO32-, NO3- and SO42- as the corresponding guest anions, which were further used to prepare X-CoMnMgAl complex oxides(X-LDOs) through calcination. The structure and the surface morphology of the as-prepared samples were characterized by FT–IR, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and SEM. These as-prepared X-LDOs could act as sulfur-transfer catalysts for desulfurization. The activity of SOx adsorption and regeneration was evaluated via a self-assembled fixed-bed reactor simulating the conditions found in the fluid catalytic cracking units. These four types of sulfur-transfer catalysts with the same phase but different structure displayed the following order of desulfurization efficiency: CO3-LDO >Cl-LDO >NO3-LDO > SO4-LDO.

Magnetic and Transport Properties of La_(0.5-x)Nd_xBa_(0.5) CoO_3 Compounds

Substituting effects of Nd for La in La 0.5 Ba 0.5 CoO 3 compounds were studied systematically. The results show that Nd doping does not change the itinerant properties of the Co3d electrons. The molecular magnetic moment of the materials decreases monotonically with increasing Nd dopant. When Nd content x ≥0.45, a magnetic phase separation appears in the materials. When x ≤0.45, the Curie temperature decreases monotonically with increasing Nd dopant. This is due to the size effects of the rare earth ions. The electric resistance measurements show that in the studied temperature range, the conduction of the materials belongs to the thermo diffusion conduction below the Curie temperature, while it belongs to the variable range hopping conduction of polarons over the Curie temperature.

Syntheses, Characterization and Biological Activity of Novel Thiazoylazo Dye and Its Coordination Compounds

The present work describes the synthesis of a novel heterocyclic azo dye by general diazonization of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiazole followed by the diazo- coupling of the resulting diazonium ion with 5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)phenol to obtain ligand L. This was characterized using Fourier-transformed infrared and electronic spectrophotometry. Ligand L was further coordinated with five metal ions, M:L, 1:2 [M = Cu(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II)]. The coordination compounds obtained were characterized by electronic, IR spectrophotometry, magnetic susceptibility and percentage metal analyses. The results obtained suggested that a thiazoylazo dye was obtained as ligand L. It was proposed that two molecules of the solvent coordinated to the metal ion in addition with the ligands to give an octahedral geometry for copper(II), manganese(II) and nickel(II) complexes. On the other hand, square planar geometry was suggested for zinc(II) and cobalt(II) complexes. The anti-infla- mmatory activity of the ligand and coordination compounds was evaluated using four in vitro-based assays viz: xanthine oxidase and lipoxygenase inhibition assay, membrane stability and protein denaturation assay. The synthesized compounds generally exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity in all the assays carried out. However, the reference standards, in this instance, were more effective in the case of xanthine oxidase, lipoxygenase and protein denaturation inhibitory assays. For the membrane stability study, the coordination compounds and ligand L elicited more potent anti-inflammatory activity than the standard drug.
