Hydrophobic Cross-Linked Poly(dimethylsiloxane)-Based Sorbents for Oil Spill Applications

With the increase of industrialization and urbanization, humankind faces massive oil-based pollution due to tanker accidents, human error, and natural disasters. For this, hydrophobic sorbents are fabricated and their applications for the removal of oil from polluted water sources are investigated. These hydrophobic sorbents are prepared by the condensation reaction of poly(dimethylsiloxane) and tris[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]isocyanurate cross-linker via bulk polymerization. The obtained sorbents exhibit high oil sorption capacity, fast absorption–desorption kinetics, and great reusability. Moreover, they can selectively absorb oil from the water surface, thus making them practical for water clean-up applications.     

还原温度对氧化石墨烯的湿度-甲醛交叉敏感性能的影响

以氧化石墨烯溶胶为前体，通过旋涂工艺制备薄膜型气敏元件，在低温80～180℃下进行热处理，获得系列不同还原程度的还原氧化石墨烯气敏元件，采用XRD、AFM、FT-IR、XPS对样品的层结构、薄膜厚度及含氧官能团变化属性进行表征，将气敏薄膜元件在相对湿度为11.3%～93.6%的范围内进行预湿处理，并测定元件对甲醛气氛的敏感性能。结果表明：随热还原处理温度的升高，氧化石墨烯的结构逐渐向类石墨结构转变，含氧官能团逐渐脱失，缺陷增多，薄膜的方块电阻呈数量级地减小，从41 MΩ减小至928 Ω；经不同湿度预处理的气敏元件置于甲醛气氛中产生了水分子与甲醛分子的竞争吸附，从而导致电阻的明显变化；在10^?4甲醛气氛下，未还原或热还原温度较低的气敏元件适用于低、高湿环境下甲醛气氛的气敏测试，最大灵敏度为69.1%，而还原温度适中的元件则适用于中湿环境的甲醛测试，最大灵敏度为80.3%。     

TiO2/MXene-Assisted LDI-MS for Urine Metabolic Profiling in Urinary Disease

Cancer remains an intractable medical problem. Rapid diagnosis and identification of cancer are critical to differentiate it from nonmalignant diseases. High-throughput biofluid metabolic analysis has potential for cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, the present metabolite analysis method does not meet the demand for high-throughput screening of diseases. Herein, a high-throughput, cost-effective, and noninvasive urine metabolic profiling method based on TiO₂/MXene-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) is presented for the efficient screening of bladder cancer (BC) and nonmalignant urinary disease. Combined with machine learning, TiO₂/MXene-assisted LDI-MS enables high diagnostic accuracy (96.8%) for the classification of patient groups (including 47 BC and 46 ureteral calculus (UC) patients) from healthy controls (113 cases). In addition, BC patients can also be identified from noncancerous UC individuals with an accuracy of 88.3% in the independent test cohort. Furthermore, metabolite variations between BC and UC individuals are investigated based on relative quantification, and related pathways are also discussed. These results suggest that this method, based on urine metabolic patterns, provides a potential tool for rapidly distinguishing urinary diseases and it may pave the way for precision medicine.     

Fundamentals of hydrogen storage processes over Ru/SiO2 and Ru/Vulcan

Hydrogen adsorption and desorption over Ru/SiO₂ and Ru/Vulcan are investigated in terms of hydrogen storage and release characteristics by both dynamic and static experiments. Ru particle dispersions as a function of metal loading were determined by HR-TEM and volumetric chemisorption experiments. Vulcan was more accommodating for spillover hydrogen than SiO₂. High Ru dispersions, i.e., small particle sizes, favored the amount of hydrogen spillover to Vulcan, as revealed by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of hydrogen. TPD of hydrogen under He flow experiments over Ru/SiO₂ and Ru/Vulcan materials revealed a low temperature process (up to 200 °C) attributed to desorption of weakly bound hydrogen from Ru metal surface. A high temperature process (above 450 °C) was attributed to diffusion of hydrogen from the support to the Ru particle and desorption at the Ru sites. Hydrogen adsorbs strongly on Ru metal, as indicated by the initial heats of H₂ adsorption measured as 100 kJ/mol over 1 wt% Ru/Vulcan by adsorption calorimetry. At higher coverages, heat of adsorption of hydrogen was measured as 10 kJ/mol. Low heat of adsorption of hydrogen at high coverages indicate multilayer weak adsorption of hydrogen over the storage material, which can desorb at lower temperatures.     

煤层注水对原煤孔隙及甲烷吸脱附性能的影响

煤层注水对防突具有显著效果,而煤层孔隙特性是影响瓦斯吸脱附及渗流的重要因素,为了从孔隙角度揭示不同注水压力对原煤体甲烷吸脱附性能的影响。选取首山矿己15-12070工作面进行煤层注水现场实验,使用氮吸附法得出各煤样孔隙特性并用分形理论计算孔隙粗糙度,使用静态容量法测出各煤样吸脱附参数。结果表明:注水后各孔径段孔隙量均有所增加,注水压力与比表面积、孔容及分形维数呈线性正相关关系;孔隙特征参数与甲烷吸脱附性能呈线性正相关关系;各煤样均出现甲烷吸脱附迟滞现象,且注水压力越高,甲烷吸附能力越强,脱附迟滞程度越大。煤层注水压力越大,煤的孔裂隙数量会增多且粗糙度增大,煤体倾向于保留更多的瓦斯。     

改性氧化钛对羟乙基乙二胺水溶液解吸CO2的强化

羟乙基乙二胺（AEE）水溶液的CO₂循环吸收量高（1.2molCO₂/molAEE），吸收速度快，稳定性好，但解吸速度慢、解吸量少（0.8mol CO₂/mol AEE）是限制该技术广泛应用的主要原因。本文通过向AEE水溶液中添加质量分数为0.05%～0.20%的改性氧化钛（TiO₂-MWCNT和TiO₂-OH）强化AEE的解吸能力。CO₂循环吸收（40℃）-解吸（120℃）实验结果表明改性氧化钛的添加比氧化钛强化CO₂解吸效果更好，强化顺序为TiO₂-MWCNT＞TiO₂-OH；其对应的最大解吸速率分别为0.093L/min（质量分数0.15%）和0.083L/min（质量分数0.20%），相对于AEE水溶液，分别提高了32.9%和18.6%；其对应的最大解吸量分别为0.92molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%）和0.88molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.20%），分别提高了12.2%和9.7%；其对应的CO₂循环吸收量分别是0.95molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%）和0.89molCO₂/molAEE（质量分数0.15%），分别提高了18.75%和11.25%；5次循环吸收解吸实验结果表明改性氧化钛强化CO₂解吸效果稳定，具有较强的化学稳定性。对反应后的改性氧化钛进行XRD、BET、FTIR和SEM表征，结果表明改性氧化钛具有较强的结构稳定性。TiO₂-MWCNT和TiO₂-OH在促进有机胺溶液解吸CO₂方面具有一定的工业应用潜力。     

新型气液逆流接触洗涤器流动-传质模型

通过冷模实验对一种新型气液逆流式洗涤器流动传质特性进行了考察。实验结果表明，在不同的操作条件下，洗涤器内气液两相流动会呈现出不同的流型。其中，洗涤器在泡沫流状态下的高效传质段体积和解吸率的数值均较大。将实验结果与理论分析相结合，依据其气液接触表面更新极快、形成高度湍动泡沫流的特点，提出了一种基于该洗涤器结构和操作特性、可以预测洗涤器传质效果的“两段式”流动-传质模型。模型将洗涤器内气液作用区分为两个区段：旋转射流段和高效传质段。利用该模型分析了解吸率与液气比L/G和旋流比ω的变化关系；结果表明，在不同操作条件下，该模型的计算结果与实验数据吻合较好，可供工程设计参考。     

Amine-containing olefin copolymer with CO2-switchable oil absorption and desorption

Global decrease in crude oil resources and frequent crude oil leaks cause the energy crisis and ecological pollution. The absorption and release of leaked crude oil through absorption materials are a necessary process for environmental protection and recycling. In this article, a CO₂-responsive olefin copolymer was obtained by copolymerization of styrene and an amine-containing olefin monomer. The structure of resultant copolymer was characterized by FTIR; thermal properties and CO₂-responsive morphology changes were determined by DSC/TGA and SEM, respectively. Copolymers had certain absorption capacity for toluene with absorption rate up to 180.0%. The absorbed toluene could be released upon CO₂ stimulation with desorption rate up to 84.6%. The CO₂-responsive copolymer could be regenerated through a simple heating process and showed stable absorption–desorption performance even after being recycled for 4 times. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of plastic deformation at room temperature on hydrogen diffusion of S30408

Understanding the influence of plastic deformation on diffusion is critical for hydrogen embrittlement (HE) study. In this work, thermal desorption spectroscope (TDS), slow strain rate test (SSRT), feritscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and TDS model were used to study the relation between plastic deformation and hydrogen diffusion, aiming at unambiguously elucidating the effect of plastic deformation on hydrogen diffusion of austenitic stainless steel, S30408. An effective method was developed to deduce apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient of austenitic stainless steel in this paper. Results indicate apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient decreases firstly and then increases with increasing plastic deformation at room temperature. Hydrogen diffusion effected by plastic deformation is a complicated process which is suggested to be divided into two processes controlled by dislocation and strain-induced martensite, respectively, and the transition point is about 20% strain demonstrated by experiments in this case.
