    • Study on Removal of Ammonium and Phosphate from aqueous solution by Dual-Functional Zr-Na Modified Zeolite

      2018, 35(9).

      Abstract (831) HTML (0) PDF 801.35 K (532) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Sodium and Zirconium modified zeolite (Zr-Na/Zeolite) was made through ion exchange with Na+ and deposition of zirconium hydroxide. Removal of ammonium and/or phosphate from aqueous solution containing ammonium, phosphate, and ammonium& phosphate by Zr-Na /Zeolite under different pH value, initial mass concentration and temperature was investigated. Results showed that the Zr-Na /Zeolite had a significant enhancement on phosphate adsorption while kept good ammonium adsorption efficiency compared with Na /Zeolite. The initial pH of the solution had a difference influence to the adsorption efficiency of ammonium and phosphate. The ammonium adsorption performance was relatively high at pH 4-8 and the maximum adsorption capacity was 4.5 mg/g. The phosphate adsorption performance decreased gradually with the increasing of pH. When the pH value changed from 2 to 10, the adsorption capacity decreased from 4.71 mg/g to 2.20 mg/g. When the initial concentration changed from 10 mg/L to 200 mg/L, the amount of adsorbed ammonium and phosphate increased from 1.42 mg/g to 11.6 mg/g and 2.46 mg/g to 11.8 mg/g, while the removal rate decreased from 57.0% to 23.2% and 98.2% to 23.6%, respectively. When the temperature of solution increased from 25 °C to 45 °C, the adsorption capacity of ammonia nitrogen increased by 10%, and the adsorption capacity of phosphorus increased by 11%. The adsorption procedure was suitable to be described by pseudo-second-order equation. The effective desorption of ammonium and phosphate on modified zeolite could be achieved using a 0.1 mol/L NaOH and 1.0 mol/L NaCl mixed solution and the regenerated modified zeolite almost kept the adsorption efficiency on phosphate within 14 cycle times.

      2018, 35(9).

      Abstract (67) HTML (0) PDF 810.27 K (555) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Plant oil based polyurethanes were synthesized using the mixture of PEPSO and castor oil as raw materials. During the synthesis of prepolymer, different content of double-decker octaphenylsilsesquioxanetetraol (DDSQ-4OH) was introduced into the polyurethane molecular chains through the chemical reaction between OH of DDSQ-4OH and NCO of IPDI. Consequently, a series of emulsion particle distributions and nanocomposites with different DDSQ-4OH contents were acquired and numbers of characterizations were taken to evaluate the properties of these materials such as FT-IR, particle size analyzer, thermal stability, mechanical properties and surface hydrophobicity. TGA results show that the hybrid polyurethanes display both enhanced initial decomposition temperatures (T5% ) and final stable temperature (Tf). Contact angle test results show that with the introduction of DDSQ-4OH, the hydrophobicity of hybrid polyurethanes can be enhanced to some extent. The morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that DDSQ-4OH may occur to aggregate with high mass content. Mechanical test results show that with the introduction of DDSQ-4OH, the tensile strength of hybrid polyurethanes can be enhanced to some extent.

    • Synthesis,Characterization and Photocatalytic Properties of In2O3/CdS Composites

      2018, 35(9).

      Abstract (101) HTML (0) PDF 4.80 M (499) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Abstract: In2O3/CdS composites were prepared via a hydrothermal route using In2O3 nanospheres as the substrate. The as-prepared composites were characterized by XRD and SEM. The results show that the composites consist of cubic phase In2O3 nanospheres and hexagonal CdS nanorods, and In2O3 nanospheres coat on the surface of rod-like CdS nanostructure. The optical property and degradated experiment reslults show that the spectral range of the as-prepared composite is broadened and the photo-catalytic properties are also improved compared with those of pure In2O3 and CdS. When n(In2O3):n(CdS)=1:4, the photocatalytic ratio of the as-prepared composite is the optimum, which is 96.2%. The reason may be that CdS can capture the electron on the surface of In2O3 and reduces the probability of recombination of electron-hole pairs, improving the photo-degradation ability of In2O3/CdS.

      Abstract:Graphene oxide modified with aqueous ammonia samples were prepared by impregnation method, and the catalytic performances of the as-prepared samples in Knoevenagel condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with malononitrile were investigated. The properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, NH3-TPD and elemental analysis. Results indicated that graphene oxide modified with aqueous ammonia samples exhibited excellent performances in the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with malononitrile. The catalytic activity increased gradually with increasing the concentration of aqueous ammonia. A 93.6% conversion of benzaldehyde and a 94.8% selectivity of benzylidene malononitrile was obtained over graphene oxide modified with 5 wt% aqueous ammonia in the appropriate conditions. It is very important that the graphene oxide modified with aqueous ammonia samples can be reused for 5 times only by simple filtration after reaction. Characterization results indicated that graphene oxide modified by ammonia can effectively immobilize NH4+ on the surface of graphene oxide.

    • Facile Synthesis of Bi24O31Br10/BiOBr Composite Nanosheets for Visible Light Photodegradation of Antibacterial agent Ciprofloxacin

      2018, 35(9).

      Abstract (1297) HTML (0) PDF 1.85 M (580) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The Bi24O31Br10/BiOBr composite nanosheets were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method using Bi(NO3)3. 5H2O and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as materials, employed triethanolamine (TEOA) as pH regulator. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurement, UV-Vis absorption spectrometer. The composition, microstructure and morphology of the obtained products can easily be controlled by tuning the amount of TEOA and the atomic ratios of bromide and bismuth in the reaction system. The photocatalytic activity of the obtained products was evaluated by the degradation of colorless antibiotic agent ciprofloxacin (CIP) under visible light irradiation (λ≥420 nm). When the amount of TEOA was 8 mL and the molar ratio of bromide and bismuth source was 1:1, the obtained composite Bi24O31Br10/BiOBr exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. Its reaction rate constant is about 4.0 times higher than that of pure BiOBr, which is mainly attributed to the charge transfer between BiOBr and Bi24O31Br10. Moreover, the high specific surface area and the abundant oxygen vacancies also contribute to the high photocatalytic activity.

      Abstract (1103) HTML (0) PDF 1.22 M (672) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to improve the solubility and bioavailability of β-carotene, we studied that the β-carotene was emulsified and encapsulated by Pickering emulsions stabilized with starch nanocrystals (SNC) as a granular emulsifier. The results showed that when the concentration of SNC was 1 wt.%, the volume fraction of oil was 0.5, the concentration of β-carotene was 0.05 wt.%, and the Pickering emulsion was modified by quaternized chitosan (QCS), the emulsion separation phenomenon of the emulsion carrying β-carotene can be improved obviously, and the storage stability is better. At the same time, the in vitro simulated digestion experiment showed that the digestion degree of the oil in the emulsion after QCS modification was increased from 56.68 ? 1.56% to 71.70 ? 2.13%, and the bioaccessibility of β-carotene was also increased from 33.59 ? 0.82% to 57.62 ? 1.58%. Therefore, QCS modification can not only improve the stability of β-carotene Pickering emulsion, but also improve the digestion degree of oil in the emulsion and the bioaccessibility of β-carotene.

      Abstract:In this study, silver nanowires-graphene nanocomposites (AgNWs-GNs) have been successfully fabricated via a facile solvothermal synthetic method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Visible absorption spectra (UV-Vis) were employed to characterize the structure and morphology of the as-prepared nanocomposites. The electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) was prepared by mixing AgNWs-GNs, micro-sized Ag flakes and epoxy together. The electrical and thermal properties of ECAs were tested after cured at 150 ?C for 2 h. The results show the AgNWs-GNs have a profound influence on the improvement of the electrical conductivity of the ECAs. When the content of the AgNWs-GNs was 0.9 wt%, the ECAs have the lowest volume resistivity of 4.34 ? 10-4 Ω?cm. Moreover, the ECAs filled with AgNWs-GNs still possessed the great thermal stability.

      Abstract:Pd/γ-Al2O3-IM, Pd/γ-Al2O3-DP and Pd/γ-Al2O3-SA catalysts with 0.03 wt% Pd loading for catalytic oxidation of toluene were respectively prepared by the impregnation, deposition-precipition, and self-assembly methods using PdCl2 and Pd2(dba)3 as precursors. The temperature for conversion of 98% toluene (T98) over Pd/γ-Al2O3-SA catalyst was 220 ℃ under the conditions of toluene volume fraction at 0.1% and space velocity (SV) at 18000 mL/(g•h), which was 40 and 75 ℃ lower than those of Pd/γ-Al2O3-DP and Pd/γ-Al2O3-IM. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, TEM, XPS, H2-TPR. The results indicated that Pd/γ-Al2O3-SA catalyst possessed the largest specific surface area (345 m2/g) and pore volume (0.52 cm3/g), the smallest average diameter (5.0 nm) of Pd nanopaticles (NPs), and the main active PdO species were well-dispersed on the surface of the γ-Al2O3 support. Besides, the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between PdO and γ-Al2O3 promoted its performance in catalytic oxidation of toluene.

    • Effects of combined high pressure and thermal treatment on physicochemical properties of rice

      2018, 35(9).

      Abstract (42) HTML (0) PDF 895.73 K (468) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:This article mainly explored the effects of combined high pressure and thermal treatment on physicochemical properties of rice for analyzing the application possibility rice products field. The results showed that the blue value of rice increased after it was treated by high pressure combined with heat, but contrary to the transparency. The suitable high pressure conditions can improve the solubility and gel expansion rate of rice. The gelatinization of rice increased significantly along with the rising of pressure, pressure-holding time, temperature and the amount of water. The crystal structure of it was transformed from the A-type crystallite to the V- type crystallite.Both temperature and pressure-holding time were positively correlated with iodine blue value, the amount of water had obviously positive correlation with iodine blue value (p<0.01), the light transmittance was negatively correlated with pressure (p<0.05), and significantly negatively correlated with pressure holding time, temperature and the amount of water (p<0.01). Swelling was positively correlated with solubility and light transmittance, but negatively correlated with iodine blue value (p<0.01). These data suggest that proper temperature and pressure can improve the physicochemical properties of rice and high pressure technology can be applied in rice products processing field.

      Abstract:Metal nanocrystals with unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are a good wide bandgap semiconductor visible light sensitized material. In this study, 0.3% mole ratio gold-modified titanium oxide (Au/TiO2) nanocomposite was synthesized by solvothermal and calcination. The as-synthesized Au/TiO2 nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), andultra-violet-visible (UV-vis) analysis. The results showed that the Au nanoparticles could significantly improve the visible light absorption properties of TiO2 at this lower content due to the strong surface plasmon resonance effect. With the increase of the calcinated temperature, the visiblelight absorption peak changed from ~ 550 nm to 670 nm, which is better for usage of the solar spectrum. The antibacterial activityfor Escherichia coli (E. coli) of Au/TiO2 nanocomposite shows that the mixed crystal Au/TiO2 with anatase and rutile phase, calcinated at 450 ℃, have the highest photocatalytic activity.

      Abstract:Fatty Acid Triethanolamine Ester(FTE) were synthesized by esterification of Fatty acid and triethanolamine. Fatty Acid Triethanolamine Mono-ester(FTME) were obtained by purification of column chromatography. FTMS were synthesized by esterification with of FTME and maleic anhydride and sulfonation with sodium sulfite. 4 types of FTME named as FTMS-1, FTMS-2, FTMS-3, FTMS-4, which are obtained basing on lauric acid, palmic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid respectively. The structures of 4 types of FTMS have been identified by FTIR, 1HNMR and amphoteric testing. The effect of chain length and unsaturation were explored on surface tension, Krafft point, particle size and emulsifying capacity. The results show that the products are amphoteric; Krafft point and Z-average increases with the increase of the chain length of alkyl, however, the unsaturation of alkyl is conducive to decrease Krafft point and Z-average; FTMS-1 and FTMS-4 have good surfactivity. Especially, the emulsifying capacity of FTMS-1(CMC=52.97mg/L, γCMC=36.1mN/m)(Separation time:148.8s) is similar to AEO-9(Separation time:139.0s), moreover, better than sodium dodecyl sulfate(Separation time:113.8s).

      Abstract:he performance difference between polyester and cotton makes the recycle and reuse of the waste polyester-cotton blended textiles is complex. In the paper, hydrolysis method was used to the separation and recovery of waste polyester-cotton blended fabric, considering the different acid resistance of cotton fiber and polyester fiber and the characteristics of subcritical water. The effects of hydrothermal temperature, reaction time and hydrochloric acid concentration on the separation process were studied by using the polyester/cotton blended ratio of 80/20 waste fabrics as the raw material and HCL as catalysts, then the physicochemical properties of the products after hydrothermal reaction were characterized. The results indicated that the suitable hydrothermal process can be determined as follows: catalyst concentration of 1.5%, hydrothermal temperature of 150℃, and the reaction time is 3 h.The cotton fiber in blended fabric was hydrolyzed, and some of them hydrolyze to solid cellulose, the yield is about 48.21%; the other continues to hydrolyze to water-soluble carbohydrate. The recovery rate of polyester yarn after hydrothermal treatment is up to 96%, and the fracture strength is just reduced by 3%, which can be used directly. The hydrolysate containing water-soluble sugars can be recycled 5 times, which realizes the high value and green recycle of the waste polyester/cotton blended fabric.

      Abstract:To study the characterization of the inclusion compound of pyrene with methyl-β-cyclodextrin,which is formed by two ingredients(pyrene and methyl-β-cyclodextrin) and prepared with saturated solution method, the inclusion compound was prepared at difference conditions and studied by using ultraviolet spectroscopy(UV),infrared spectroscopy(IR),thermal gravimetric analysis(TG),differential thermal analysis(DSC), scanning electron microscope(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD) and other methods. According to the results, the inclusion efficiency of saturated aqueous solution method is higher (39%) at 25 ℃ conditions, At 240nm, the corresponding absorbance was the largest (1.62).With IR method, characteristic peak intensity of pyrene becomes lower and peak shape widens or displaces. With TG, DSC methods, pyrene occupies methyl-β-cyclodextrin cavity and the inclusion compound is formed ,and with XRD method, the inclusion compound shows a new set of characteristic diffraction peaks at 11.73 °, 18.04 °, 20.56 °. Conclusion shows that pyrene and methyl-β-cyclodextrin could form a stable inclusion compound when the temperature is 25℃. MCD increases the mass concentration of pyrene in water to 7.36 mg/L, which twice time of 15℃.

      Abstract:In this work, amidoxime-modified polymer containing imidazolinyl (AM/AO/NIPA) was synthesized by acrylamide (AM), acrylonitrile (AN) and 1-(2-N-allyl ammonia ethyl)-2-oleic acid imidazole (NIPA). Then, the copolymer was characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM and TG. By the static adsorption experiment, the adsorption capacity of Cu2+ by AM/AO/NIPA was investigated and was compared with typical adsorbent polyacrylamide (PAM); also, equilibrium kinetics and isotherms were obtained and further discussed adsorption mechanism. The results showed that the Cu2+ adsorption capacity of AM/AO/NIPA was seldom effected by the pH of the weak solution. The Cu2+ adsorption to AM/AO/NIPA reached equilibrium at 30 ℃ after 3 h, the pH of original solution is 5 and initial concentration is 100 mg/L; and the adsorption capacity is 37.32 mg/g at that time. The whole adsorption process is subject to the pseudo-second-order model, which is dominated by chemical adsorption. The experimental data of the adsorption of Cu2+ by AM/AO/NIPA can be fitted well by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Moreover, the maximum adsorption capacity of Cu2+ by AM/AO/NIPA was 267.38 mg/g, three times higher than PAM, which is calculated by fitting Langmuir isotherm models. Furthermore, the amidoxime polymer AM/AO/NIPA remain up to 92.99% of its original adsorption capacity after five circles.
