New ways to improve the damping properties in high‐performance thermoplastic vulcanizates

The incorporation of viscoelastic materials represents an effective strategy to reduce the vibratory level of structural components. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a special type of viscoelastic material that combines the elastomeric properties of rubbers with the easy processing of thermoplastics. In the present work, we propose innovative ways to improve the damping properties of high‐performance TPVs by using rubbers with carboxylic functionalities. For that, TPVs from physical blends of carboxylated hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XHNBR) and polyamide 6 (PA6) were prepared. The chain dynamics of different mixed crosslink systems containing peroxide, metal oxides and hindered phenolic antioxidants were investigated in order to find the most suitable strategy to design a high‐performance TPV system with upgraded damping properties. The results indicate that the damping performance of the TPV system can be tailored by controlling the type and magnitude of the bonding interactions between the mixed crosslink system and the XHNBR rubber phase. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential of TPV systems containing carboxylic rubbers as high‐performance damping materials. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry     

炼油厂碱渣酚分析及钛硅分子筛对双氧水氧化苯酚的催化作用

对炼油厂碱渣中酚含量和组成进行了分析，结果表明，碱渣酚含量较高，且含多种不同结构的酚，其中苯酚含量相对最高，达到60%左右。采用双氧水氧化苯酚的试验结果表明：双氧水氧化效果较差，苯酚去除率仅为0.5%；使用钛硅分子筛作催化剂，可大幅提高双氧水氧化苯酚的效果，最佳氧化条件下苯酚去除率高达94.7%，显示出钛硅分子筛优异的催化氧化作用。     

炭化活化条件对Cu/AC表面Cu价态及其催化降解苯酚的影响

采用前体浸渍法研制了生物质基载铜活性炭催化剂（Cu/AC），利用N₂-吸附脱附、X射线光电子能谱等技术对Cu/AC性质进行了表征，在固定床反应器中研究了不同炭化活化条件所得Cu/AC催化湿式氧化降解苯酚性能。结果表明：Cu/AC表面Cu物种以Cu²⁺和（Cu⁺+Cu⁰）共存。随着制备Cu/AC炭化温度的升高，炭化过程中产生更多的挥发分，促进Cu²⁺还原为Cu⁺和Cu⁰，（Cu⁺+Cu⁰）含量增大，Cu/AC降解苯酚催化活性逐渐升高；随着炭化时间延长，（Cu⁺+Cu⁰）含量下降，Cu₂O、CuO较好地并入载体使晶格氧含量增加，催化活性先升高后下降；随着活化温度升高和活化时间延长，Cu/AC比表面积达到1096.1m²/g并有大量微孔生成，大量含氧官能团分解将炭化过程中还原生成的（Cu⁺+Cu⁰）氧化为Cu²⁺，晶格氧含量增加，催化活性随着活化温度的升高而升高，随着活化时间的延长先升高后下降。催化湿式氧化降解苯酚过程中，Cu/AC具有良好的稳定性和低的Cu离子浸出浓度。Cu/AC的最优制备条件为炭化温度800℃，炭化时间2h，活化温度880℃，活化时间为2h，所得Cu/AC在反应8.5h时实现98.5%的苯酚转化率和91.1%的COD转化率。
