Noble metal ion sorption by pyridyl and bipyridyl group‐containing chelating polymers

A series of eighteen 4‐vinylpyridine and 4‐methyl‐4′‐vinylbipyridine copolymers with different crosslinkers was examined as sorbents for the noble metal ions of Ag(I), Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(II) from aqueous solutions. The chelating polymers possess appreciable sorption selectivity for Au(III) over Ag(I) and for Pd(II) over Pt(II). Binding abilities of the copolymers toward the noble metal ions vary as the identity of the chelating heterocyclic amine moiety and the structure of the crosslinkers are altered. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

煤气化细灰及其原煤的热解特性与官能团特征

对气流床水煤浆气化细灰和粉煤气化细灰及其原煤的热解特性与官能团特征进行研究,结合工业分析、元素分析、红外光谱(FTIR)方法以及热重-质谱联用(TG-MS)技术,分析了两种气化工艺所得细灰的特性,以及细灰与原煤官能团结构特征的差异。结果表明,气化细灰在经历煤气化过程后仍有部分挥发分未完全分解,细灰中的挥发分含量与其气化工艺有关;煤气化过程中,部分官能团未分解,并可能有部分官能团重排生成了较稳定的含氧化合物等新官能团。     

宝日褐煤及其干燥煤和半焦的润湿热变化规律

采用μRC微量热仪研究了宝日希勒褐煤及其500℃热解半焦在25℃下的润湿热.结果表明,褐煤的含水量对润湿热有较大影响,含水量低于16%的干燥煤润湿热随着含水量的降低而增加,含水量高于16%的宝日褐煤润湿时的放热量可忽略不计;半焦在空气中由于氧化吸湿,润湿热降低,暴露48h后润湿热降低为原来的1/2,暴露240h后润湿热降为原来的12%,并不再随暴露时间的增加而降低;半焦的润湿热与半焦粒度无关,而润湿时的放热速率随粒度的增大而降低;褐煤的表面官能团与半焦的表面官能团有较大差别.研究表明,表面官能团对润湿热有较大影响.     

One-Pot Methods for the Protection and Assembly of Sugars

In recent years, there has been rapid expansion of glycan synthesis, fueled by the recognition that the structural complexity of sugars translates to a myriad of biological functions. Such chemical syntheses involve many challenges, mostly due to the regio- and stereochemical aspects of glycosidic bond formation. One-pot strategies were developed to assist in attaining faster and more economical access to the glycan constructs. In this front, achievements in protecting group manipulation, glycosylation, and combinations of these have been reported. Protecting group manipulations in one pot take advantage of the reaction compatibility of commonly used transformations, many of which occur in high regioselectivity. Sequential glycosylations, on the other hand, rely on leaving group orthogonalities and reactivity tuning, as well as the preactivation technique. Altogether, these approaches offer attractive means to the much needed glycan structures and, consequently, help usher in advances in glycoscience.     

Polyimide/nano-TiO2 hybrid films having benzoxazole pendent groups: In situ sol–gel preparation and evaluation of properties

Polyimide/titania (PI/TiO₂) nanocomposite films have been successfully fabricated through the in situ formation of TiO₂ within a PI matrix via sol–gel method. Poly(amic acid) (PAA), which is the precursor of PI, was successfully synthesized by mixing pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), with equimolar amount of a diamine monomer having a pendent benzoxazole unit and two flexible ether linkages in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. Tetraethyl orthotitanate [Ti(OEt)₄] and acetylacetone were then added to the resulted PAA. After imidization at high temperature, PI/TiO₂ hybrid films were formed. The structure and morphology of the hybrid nanocomposites with different titania contents (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt%) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the TiO₂ nanoparticles were homogeneously dispersed in the hybrid films. The thermogravimetric analysis of nanocomposites confirms the improvement in the thermal stability with the increase in the percentage of titania nanoparticle. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoparticles with an average diameter of 25–40 nm were dispersed in the polymer matrix.

Molar mass-dependent profiles of functional groups and carbohydrates in kraft lignin

Technical lignins are complex, irregular, polyphenolic compounds obtained in large quantities as by-products of the pulp and paper industries or according to current biorefinery setups. The availability of kraft lignin is increasing due to larger scale retrieval from process liquors, which opens new possibilities for further refining or new applications of such lignins. In the present study, sequential ultrafiltration of kraft lignin was performed to fractionate the lignin and to elucidate molar mass-dependent changes in lignin structure. Two industrial black liquors and three precipitated lignins were fractionated, and their functional groups were determined, providing molar mass-dependent profiles. Interrelations between structural parameters and functional groups, the molecular weight ranges, and the different lignin sources are discussed. This will help to establish structure-property-application relationships (SPARs) for technical lignins which are required for any future large-scale application.
