Removal of Copper from Aqueous Solutions with Zeolites and Possible Treatment of Exhaust Materials

The mechanism of Cu²⁺ loading into commercially available natural HEU-type and synthetic LTA-type zeolites for their possible use in environmental processes, such as water and air treatment applications, was studied. Elemental analysis, SEM/EDXS, XRD, XAS and XPS analyses revealed 4-fold coordination of Cu²⁺ cations with oxygen atoms in the pores, a predominant location of copper atoms on the surface of crystallites and retained crystallinity of zeolites throughout the processes. The post-treatment of Cu²⁺-loaded samples with HCl and/or NaCl solutions confirmed the predominantly reversible sorption of copper on zeolites from aqueous solutions by ion-exchange mechanism and, therefore, excellent regeneration possibilities for both types of zeolites. Furthermore, with the calcination of exhaust metal-loaded zeolites, catalysts for total toluene oxidation reaction, as a model VOC pollutant, were obtained.     

Assessment of landscape composition and configuration via spatial metrics combination: conceptual framework proposal and method improvement

Landscape transformations have been a central topic in landscape ecology due to their influence on ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. Landscape dynamics can be very complex and one of the most difficult issues to analyse is the contribution and the effects of landscape composition and configuration changes to the overall impact. We enhanced an existing approach designed to assess landscape transformation via metrics combination. Based on the area and the number of patches, we defined a Landscape Dynamics Typology (LDT) with eight different dynamics. The agro-forestry areas dynamics between 1990 and 2006, in Portugal, is presented as a practical example to show the implementation steps and the outputs obtained. A diagnostic tree is provided to help identify which dynamics are present. This new method provides detailed results concerning the location of the different dynamics within a landscape. The LDT is a versatile tool and is able to accommodate upgrades.

Thick-film NTC thermistors and LTCC materials: The dependence of the electrical and microstructural characteristics on the firing temperature

The electrical and microstructural characteristics of 1 kΩ/sq. thick-film NTC thermistors (4993, EMCA Remex) fired either on LTCC (low-temperature cofired ceramic) substrates or buried within LTCC structures were evaluated. The thermistors were fired at different temperatures to study the influence of firing temperature on the electrical characteristics. The results were compared with the characteristics obtained on alumina substrates. The sheet resistivities were higher than the resistivities of thick-film thermistors on alumina substrates. The increase of the sheet resistivities was attributed to the diffusion of the glass phase from the rather glassy LTCC substrates into the NTC thermistors. This was confirmed by EDS analyses. However, the increase in the resistivity was linked to an increase of the beta factors. Therefore, the results show that the evaluated NTC thermistors on LTCC substrates can be used for temperature sensors in MCM-Cs as well as in MEMS LTCC structures. When the thermistors were buried in the LTCC substrates, the LTCC structures delaminated during firing, leading to high sheet resistivities and high noise indices. This delamination is attributed to the different sintering rates of the NTC and LTCC materials.     

Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 Textured Ceramics with High Piezoelectric Response by a Novel Templated Grain Growth Approach

Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–PbTiO₃ is used as a model system of perovskite solid solutions with very high piezoelectric response at tailored morphotropic phase boundaries to demonstrate the processing of textured ceramics by ceramic‐only technology. A novel homogeneous templated grain growth approach that uses conventional ceramic procedures and a single‐source nanocrystalline powder for the matrix and also for obtaining the templates is described. Two batches of (100) faceted cube‐shaped microcrystals with average sizes of 27 and 10 μm were successfully used as templates, and aligned by tape casting for the processing of <001>‐textured Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–PbTiO₃ piezoelectric ceramics. Materials with effective piezoelectric coefficients up to 1000 pC/N and ferroelectric properties approaching those of single crystals are obtained.     

Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thick-Film Piezoelectric Actuators on Ceramic Substrates

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a piezoelectric material that can sense or respond to mechanical deformations and can be used in ceramic electro-mechanical systems (C-MEMS). The microstructural, electrical, and piezoelectric characteristics of thick PZT films on low-temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) and alumina substrates were studied. The PZT composition was prepared with low-melting-point additives in order to decrease the sintering temperature and to be compatible with thick-film technology. The integration of the PZT thick-film materials on ceramic substrates could lead to degradation of the PZT's characteristics due to the interactions between an active PZT layer and a substrate, particularly with glassy LTCC material. To minimize the interactions with LTCC substrates, an intermediate PZT barrier layer was integrated. The value of the piezoelectric coefficient d ₃₃ was found to be up to 120 pC/N on an alumina substrate and approximately 50 on an LTCC substrate. Based on these results, a cantilever-type actuator was designed and fabricated on alumina substrates. Under an applied voltage of 200 V, the maximum tip deflection was about 5 μm.     

Catalytic surface development of novel nickel plate catalyst with combined thermally annealed platinum and alumina coatings for steam methane reforming

Catalytically active surface of small nickel (min 99 wt%) plates for steam methane reforming was enhanced by successive temperature programmed oxidation−reduction (TPO−TPR) pretreatment and combined physical vapor deposition of Pt and Al₂O₃. The effect of annealing time, temperature, order and number of coatings on the catalytic activity was investigated by means of a pulse technique at the reaction temperature of 760 °C. The most active and stable surface phases resulted after the successively deposited layers of Pt, Al₂O₃, and Pt had been annealed for 12 h onto 2-cycle TPO−TPR pretreated nickel plate at the temperature of 700 °C in a circulating atmosphere of N₂. The durability performance of the so-prepared surface phases on a specifically structured plate catalyst element (diameter 43 mm and length 42 mm) was tested in a tubular reactor for some 70 h in temperature range 500−650 °C. Deactivation was mainly caused by carbon surface deposition.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of N‐Phenylpyrrolamides as DNA Gyrase B Inhibitors

ATP‐competitive inhibitors of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are among the most interesting classes of antibacterial drugs that are unrepresented in the antibacterial pipeline. We developed 32 new N‐phenylpyrrolamides and evaluated them against DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV from E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial activities were studied against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacterial strains. The most potent compound displayed an IC₅₀ of 47 nm against E. coli DNA gyrase, and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 μm against the Gram‐positive Enterococcus faecalis. Some compounds displayed good antibacterial activities against an efflux‐pump‐deficient E. coli strain (MIC=6.25 μm ) and against wild‐type E. coli in the presence of efflux pump inhibitor PAβN (MIC=3.13 μm ). Here we describe new findings regarding the structure–activity relationships of N‐phenylpyrrolamide DNA gyrase B inhibitors and investigate the factors that are important for the antibacterial activity of this class of compounds.     

Evolution of phase composition and microstructure of sodium potassium niobate –based ceramic during pressure-less spark plasma sintering and post-annealing

This study was designed to better understand the microstructural and phase evolution of lead-free sodium potassium niobate based piezoceramics with a nominal composition (K_0.5Na_0.5)_0.99Sr_0.005NbO₃ (KNNSr) during pressure-less spark plasma sintering followed by post-annealing in oxygen. The as-sintered samples were dark-coloured and electrically conductive as a result of partial reduction of Nb⁵⁺ to Nb⁴⁺ and formation of oxygen vacancies confirmed by X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy. The Rietveld refinement analysis showed that the as-sintered samples contained two perovskite phases with monoclinic Pm unit cell and slightly different unit-cell parameters. The microstructure with sub-micrometre-sized grains unambiguously confirmed that rapid heating and short dwell time hindered the grain growth. We found that post-annealing the samples at 950?°C in oxygen led to improvement in functional properties. The samples became white-coloured, the both perovskite unit cells decreased as a result of re-oxidation, while the microstructure remained essentially unchanged. The KNNSr sintered at nominal sintering temperature of 1300?°C for 3?min and post-annealed possessed a relative density of 88% and dielectric and piezoelectric properties similar to those of the conventionally sintered samples. Our findings contribute to the understanding of pressure-less spark plasma sintering of sodium potassium niobate-based materials and suggest that arrested grain growth and minimisation of alkali evaporation not necessarily lead to dense ceramic.
