Selective hydrogenation of furfural to cyclopentanone over Cu-Ni-Al hydrotalcite-based catalysts

A series of Cu-Ni-Al hydrotalcites derived oxides with a (Cu+Ni)/Al mole ratio of 3 with varied Cu/Ni mole ratio (from 0.017 to 0.5, with a Cu ratio of 0.0125 to 0.25) were prepared by co-precipitation method, then applied to the hydrogenation of furfural in aqueous. Their catalytic performance for liquid phase hydrogenation of furfural to prepare cyclopentanone was described in detail, considering reaction temperature, catalyst composition, reaction time and so on. The yield of cyclopentanone was influenced by the mole ratio of Cu-Ni-Al based heterogeneous catalyst and depended on the reaction conditions. The yield of cyclopentanone was up to 95.8% when the reaction was carried out under 413 K with H₂ pressure of 40 bar for 8 h. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR).     

Densification and mechanical properties of boron carbide with micro-hole array by micro-powder injection molding

For the purpose of obtaining fully dense B₄C with micro hole array of high quality and precision, synthesis of B₄C powders were carried out by micro powder injection molding. Five kinds of additive systems were used and their influences on mechanical properties were investigated. The relative density, Vickers hardness, bending strength, and fracture toughness of the B₄C ceramics with BS10AY additive sintered at 2000 °C for 2 h could reach 97.56%, 3580.4 HV, 355.3 MPa and 5.87 MPa m^1/2, respectively. The temperature was generally 100–200 °C lower than reported temperatures which was attributed to the additives. The improvement in mechanical properties was attributed to grain refinement. A mixture of intragranular and transgranular fractures occurred due to the fine microstructures and the additive systems in the B₄C ceramics after sintering. Micro-hole array with the diameter of 450 μm and the length-diameter ratio of more than 8 were obtained. The inhomogeneous filling of feedstock from the substrate to the thin wall between two adjacent micro holes caused the inhomogeneous shrinkage of the substrate and micro holes.     

A Moisture Transfer Model for Isothermal Drying of Plant Cellular Materials Based on the Pore Network Approach

Plant materials with cellular structure, like fruits and vegetables, are often viewed as porous media in terms of model building of the drying process, on the basis of a hypothesis that all of the moisture of a plant tissue is trapped in a continuous and connected pore network system. However, most of the moisture in the plant tissue is contained naturally in enclosed cells. In the course of drying, the trapped moisture has to cross the cell membranes and then migrates in the extracellular space. Based on this concept, a pore network model for isothermal drying of plant materials was developed in which two stages of moisture movement—transmembrane transfer and extracellular transfer in the pore network—were considered. Finally, the isothermal convective air-drying processes of a potato slice were simulated. The calculated results were validated by the experiments conducted under the simulation conditions.     

Metal‐Free Autoxidative Nitrooxylation of Alkenyl Oximes with Molecular Oxygen

A metal‐free aerobic autoxidative nitrooxylation of alkenyl oximes mediated by tert‐butyl nitrite is described. Molecular oxygen is used as the oxidizing reagent, avoiding use of organic trapping reagents such as 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl (TEMPO). The desired products were obtained in generally high yields.

Sensitivity analysis on globularized fraction of α lamellae in titanium alloys

The sensitivity analysis functions on globularized fraction of α lamellae were established using a physically-based microstructure model and gradient method. These functions were applied to the sensitivity analysis on globularized fraction of α lamellae in TC17 alloy. The material constants in these functions are determined using the genetic algorithm-based objective optimization technique. The globularized fraction of α lamellae during isothermal compression of TC17 alloy was quantitatively analyzed based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. The results show that α lamellae mostly change to equiaxed α grains at a deformation temperature of 1083 K, a strain rate of 0.01 s^?1 and a strain of 1.2. The globularized fraction decreases with increasing strain rate because lower strain rate provides enough time for the spheroidization. The effect of deformation temperature on the globularized fraction is controlled by the strain rate. And, the predicted derivations of globularized fraction with respect to processing parameters show good agreement with the experimental values.
