The results of activity tests revealed that 360 °C was the optimal reaction temperature. It was demonstrated that oxidizing sites not only took dominating part in the activation of isobutane, but also influenced the product distribution. Besides, appropriate Cs addition led to moderate acidity of catalysts, favoring the selectivity to desired products. Furthermore, to obtain partially reduced catalysts, different calcination atmospheres were investigated and certain proportion of Mo^(5+) produced during calcination was crucial for the redox reaction. The catalyst calcined in N2 showed the highest yield of MAA(7.0%). Fe-substitution enhanced the activity of catalysts by rapid reoxidation of Mo^(5+).展开更多

The size, charge and chemical composition were characterized by means of HRTEM/STEM with EDX mapping, XPS, and FTIRS. These sites with Re/Pt = 2 were shown to be highly active and selective in the hydrogenation of carboxylic acid to alcohol under very mild conditions (T = 130 ℃, P = 50 bar). The reaction rate constant for the hydrogenation of hexanoic acid increased linearly with the Pt content. As for the homogeneous pincer-type Ru-organic complexes, the active Pt-ReOx sites can dissociate heterolytically the molecular hydrogen with the formation of hydroxyl groups and Pt hydride for hydrogenation of the carboxylic group. Indeed, TOF of 20 h 1 and selectivity of 98%-99% are approaching the values typical of homogeneous catalysts. The first order kinetics described well the experimental data obtained in a wide range of reaction conditions.展开更多

However,floatation of free gold exhibits more variables in practice.In this study, improving gold recovery of a Pb-Zn sulfide ore from Yunnan Province, China, was investigated. The results show that free gold and auriferous sulfides account for 94.99 % of total gold. Without adding organic acid in floatation, only 82 % recovery of gold could be obtained.Gold recovery in Au/Pb concentrates increases by 9.29 %with oxalate added and by 7.35 % with citric acid added,respectively, while performances of lead and arsenic nearly keep a constant. A possible reason is that free gold is of wonderful selectivity against pyrite with organic activators.A new method to enhance gold recovery is proposed.展开更多

The experimental parameters were tuned to achieve optimum conditions for the synthesis of selectively doped ZnO nanomaterials with an experimental duration of 4 hr. These selectively doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), UV–Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The solar driven photocatalytic studies have been carried out for organic dyes, i.e., Procion MX-5B dye,Cibacron Brilliant Yellow dye, Indigo Carmine dye, separately and all three mixed, by using gluconic acid modified selectively doped advanced ZnO nanomaterial. The influence of catalyst, its concentration and initial dye concentration resulted in the photocatalytic efficiency of 89% under daylight.展开更多

However, it has not been applied to protein separation. In this paper, N-methylimidazolium IL-modified silica-based stationary phase(Silpr Mim)was prepared and investigated as a novel multi-interaction stationary phase charged positively for protein separation. The results indicate that all of the basic proteins tested cannot be absorbed on this novel stationary phase, whereas all of the acidic proteins tested can be retained, and the baseline separation of eight kinds of acidic protein standards can be achieved when performed in reversed phase/ion-exchange chromatography(RPLC/IEC) mode. Compared with commonly used commercial octadecylated silica(ODS) column, the novel stationary phase can show selectivity and good resolution to acidic proteins, which has a promising application in the separation and analyses of acidic proteins from the complex samples in proteomics. In addition, the chromatographic behavior of proteins, the effect of the ligand structure and the retention mechanism on this stationary phase were also investigated.展开更多

An acidic medium is an excellent etchant to achieve hollow SiO2 but harmful to most functional cores. Reported here is a method for preparing sub-100 nm yolk/shell Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs by a mild acidic etching strategy. Our results demonstrate that establishment of a dissolution-diffusion equilibrium of silica is essential for achieving yolk/shell Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs. A uniform increase in the silica compactness from the inside to the outside and an appropriate pH value of the etchant are the main factors controlling the thickness and cavity of the SiO2 shell. Under our "standard etching code", the acid-sensitive Fe3O4 core can be perfectly preserved and the SiO2 shell can be selectively etched away. The mechanism of etching was investigated. regulation of SiO2 etching and acidic展开更多
