Catalytic properties of aluminated sepiolite in ethanol conversion

The aluminated sepiolite, obtained by alkaline treatment with KAlO₂, as well as the silver-exchanged aluminated sepiolite were tested in ethanol conversion. The reactions were performed at 280°C and with 50 Torr of ethanol in He. After the alumination through KA1O₂, ethanol dehydrogenation and ethanol dehydration resulted from the Lewis acidity. The dispersion of silver led to a bifunctional catalytic system and the overall catalytic activity and the selectivity towards the acetaldehyde production increased. As a result of the Prins reaction, a significant yield in butadiene was observed.     

Water-soluble and amphiphilic polymers

Summary Three PEO-PSt-PEO triblock polymers and their parent ho-nopolystyrene have been studied by means of light scattering technique in chloroform, toluene and ethyl acetate. It has been found that the weight average molecular weights calculated by using the equation Mapp- were unbelievable negative values; and the largest deviation appeared for the sample with PEO mole content of about 50%. Data of PSt-PEO-PSt triblock polymers in literature have been quoted and discussed.

ATO包裹硅酸锆的制备与应用

采用化学共沉淀技术制备了锑掺杂二氧化锡(ATO)包裹硅酸锆的导电粉体,对比了该导电粉体与ATO在防静电陶瓷中的应用效果。结果表明与掺纯ATO相比较,掺入ATO包裹硅酸锆的防静电陶瓷颜色比较浅,并且能明显减少氧化锡的用量,当陶瓷的表面电阻为107Ω/□量级时,用ATO包裹硅酸锆作为导电填料可以节省25%左右的ATO。     

The determination of the pore structural parameters of isoporous resins by inverse GPC

The swollen pore structure of a series of microporous isoporous resins (7.4–140 Å) are investigated with inverse GPC, n-alkylbenzenes and linear polystyrenes being used as probe molecules. The results indicated that, with the lowering of crosslinking degree of isoporous resins, the average pore diameter increased and the pore distribution curve broadened. All pore volume distribution obeyed a log-normal distribution. Based on the linear regression method, the experimental data were fitted to a monotonously declining exponential function and a normal distribution function by a computer, and some important structural parameters such as average pore diameter, pore volume distribution, specific surface area, etc. were obtained. The specific surface area of swollen gels were found much greater than those in the dry state measured by N₂ adsorption.     

Preparation,characterization, and adsorption properties for metal ions of a novel chelating resin containing sulfoxide and diethylene glycol

A novel chelating resin containing sulfoxide and diethylene glycol, poly{4‐vinylbenzyl‐[2‐2‐(hydroxyethyl)ethoxyl]sulfoxide} (PVESO) was synthesized using chloromethylated polystyrene (PS‐Cl) as material. Its structure was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption capacities of the resin for Hg²⁺, Ag⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Pb²⁺ at various pH values were determined. The maximum adsorption capacities for Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ were 1.56 and 0.75 mmol g^?1 respectively. The resin had high selectivity for Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ over the pH range 1.0–7.0. The adsorption capacities for Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ under competitive condition were also determined by batch experiment method. In addition, the adsorption kinetics of the resin towards Hg²⁺ at different temperatures was also investigated. The results showed that the adsorption rate was governed by film diffusion at 20°C and 25°C, by particle diffusion at 30°C and 35°C. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two possible emission mechanisms involved in the arc discharge method of carbon nanotube preparation

By investigating the morphologies and microstructures of the cathode deposits prepared by self-sustained arc discharge between graphite rods, we consider that there are two electron emission mechanisms occurring on the cathode: field emission and thermionic emission. The former occurs mainly on the edge of the growing surface, by which we can explain the formation of the outer hard shell of the cathode deposit; while the latter occurs mainly on the growing surface except for the edge area and it is the main cause for the growth of carbon nanotubes.     

Electrochemical performance of nanocrystalline Li3V2(PO4)3/carbon composite material synthesized by a novel sol–gel method

A novel sol–gel method based on V₂O₅·nH₂O hydro-gel was developed to synthesize nanocrystalline Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon composite material. In this route, V₂O₅·nH₂O hydro-gel, NH₄H₂PO₄, Li₂CO₃ and high-surface-area carbon were used as starting materials to prepare precursor, and the Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon was obtained by sintering precursor at 750 °C for 4 h in flowing argon. The sol–gel synthesis ensures homogeneity of the precursors and improved reactivity. The sample was characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. X-ray diffraction results show Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ sample is monoclinic structure with the space group of P2₁/n. The TEM image indicates that the Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ particles modified by conductive carbon are about 70 nm in diameter. The Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon system showed that the discharge capacities in the first and 50th cycle are about 155.3 and 143.6 mAh/g, respectively, in the range of 3.0–4.8 V. The sol–gel method is fit for the preparation of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon composite material which may offer some favorable properties for commercial application.
