为从根本上消除木材胶合制品的甲醛释放对环境和人体健康的危害及改善尿素-乙二醛(UG)树脂的性能,选择无毒、低挥发的乙二醛代替甲醛,与尿素、苯酚反应制备苯酚-尿素-乙二醛(PUG)共缩聚树脂木材胶黏剂。研究了在反应的不同阶段加入苯酚以及苯酚的加入量对树脂性能的影响,并通过傅里叶变换红外光谱法(FTIR)对树脂的结构进行了表征。结果表明:在所研究的合成条件下,PUG树脂的pH和状态受苯酚加入量和加入时间的影响不大,苯酚的加入量为尿素总量的10%为宜;树脂中主要含有氮氢(N—H)、氧氢(O—H)、羰基(C=O)、饱和碳氢(C—H)、醚键(C—O—C)及碳氮(C—N)键等主要官能团。     

Cogasification of blended coal‐biomass in an air/steam BFB gasifier: Experimental investigation and model validation

A series of cogasification experiments were performed at a 100 kW bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) gasifier to gasify the blended pellets made from two types of coals and woody biomass, with biomass‐to‐fuel mass ratios of 0–30%. In the cogasification, a mixture of air and steam was fed from the BFB gasifier bottom as gasification agent and the blended biomass‐coal pellets were fed into the bed layer. Impacts of biomass mass fraction in the binary pellets and gasification operation temperature on producer gas composition were experimentally investigated. The experimental results have been used to validate a mathematical model developed in this study. From both experimental observation and model prediction, it was found that adding biomass into coal has overall negative impact on producer gas quality in terms of combustible substance contents, and the extents of the blending effect were different among fuel types which have different properties. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 1639–1647, 2015     

A numerical‐indicator‐based method for design of distributed wastewater treatment systems with multiple contaminants

In the design of distributed wastewater treatment systems with multiple contaminants, it is very important to minimize unnecessary stream mixing to reduce total treatment flow rate as much as possible. A new numerical indicator, total mixing influence potential (TMIP), to reflect the influence of the stream mixing caused by performing a process on the total treatment flow rate of a distributed wastewater system is introduced. In design procedure, the TMIP value is calculated based on pinch principle. The process with the smallest TMIP value will be performed first. The results of a few literature examples show that designs with very low (even minimum) total treatment flow rates can be obtained with the method proposed. In addition, the method proposed is simple and of clear engineering insight. The calculation effort does not increase significantly when the number of streams, contaminants, and/or treatment units increases. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 3223–3231, 2015     

A New and Practical Synthetic Method for the Synthesis of 6-O-Methyl-scutellarein: One Metabolite of Scutellarin in Vivo

Scutellarin (1) has been used for the treatment of angina pectoris, cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease with a large market share in China. Pharmacokinetic studies on scutellarin showed that scutellarin (1) is readily converted into its metabolites in vivo. In this paper, a new and practical synthetic method for the synthesis of 6-O-methyl-scutellarein (3) (one metabolite of scutellarin in vivo) is reported. The benzyl bromide was firstly used to selectively replace the acetyl group at C-7 in 7, and was then used to protect the hydroxy groups at C-4'' in 10, 6-O-methyl-scutellarein (3) is obtained in high yield through these methods.

Structural and Biochemical Studies of Actin in Complex with Synthetic Macrolide Tail Analogues

The actin filament‐binding and filament‐severing activities of the aplyronine, kabiramide, and reidispongiolide families of marine macrolides are located within the hydrophobic tail region of the molecule. Two synthetic tail analogues of aplyronine C (SF‐01 and GC‐04) are shown to bind to G‐actin with dissociation constants of (285±33) and (132±13) nM , respectively. The crystal structures of actin complexes with GC‐04, SF‐01, and kabiramide C reveal a conserved mode of tail binding within the cleft that forms between subdomains (SD) 1 and 3. Our studies support the view that filament severing is brought about by specific binding of the tail region to the SD1/SD3 cleft on the upper protomer, which displaces loop‐D from the lower protomer on the same half‐filament. With previous studies showing that the GC‐04 analogue can sever actin filaments, it is argued that the shorter complex lifetime of tail analogues with F‐actin would make them more effective at severing filaments compared with plasma gelsolin. Structure‐based analyses are used to suggest more reactive or targetable forms of GC‐04 and SF‐01, which may serve to boost the capacity of the serum actin scavenging system, to generate antibody conjugates against tumor cell antigens, and to decrease sputum viscosity in children with cystic fibrosis.     

Microwave-assisted green synthesis of Ag/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate with high uniformity

A nanocomposite of silver nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide (Ag/rGO) has been fabricated as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate owing to the large surface area and two-dimensional nanosheet structure of rGO. A facile and rapid microwave-assisted green route has been used for the formation of Ag nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide simultaneously with L-arginine as the reducing agent. By increasing the cycle number of microwave irradiation from 1 and 4 to 8, the mean diameters of Ag nanoparticles deposited on the surface of rGO increased from 10.3 ± 4.6 and 21.4 ± 10.5 to 41.1 ± 12.6 nm. The SERS performance of Ag/rGO nanocomposite was examined using the common Raman reporter molecule 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP). It was found that the Raman intensity of 4-ATP could be significantly enhanced by increasing the size and content of silver nanoparticles deposited on rGO. Although the Raman intensities of D-band and G-band of rGO were also enhanced simultaneously by the deposited Ag nanoparticles which limited the further improvement of SERS detection sensitivity, the detectable concentration of 4-ATP with Ag/rGO nanocomposite as the SERS substrate still could be lowered to be 10⁻¹⁰ M and the enhancement factor could be increased to 1.27 × 10¹⁰. Furthermore, it was also achievable to lower the relative standard deviation (RSD) values of the Raman intensities to below 5%. This revealed that the Ag/rGO nanocomposite obtained in this work could be used as a SERS substrate with high sensitivity and homogeneity.
