Ethylene and Nitric Oxide Involvement in the Regulation of Fe and P Deficiency Responses in Dicotyledonous Plants

Iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) are two essential elements for plant growth. Both elements are abundant in soils but with poor availability for plants, which favor their acquisition by developing morphological and physiological responses in their roots. Although the regulation of the genes related to these responses is not totally known, ethylene (ET) and nitric oxide (NO) have been involved in the activation of both Fe-related and P-related genes. The common involvement of ET and NO suggests that they must act in conjunction with other specific signals, more closely related to each deficiency. Among the specific signals involved in the regulation of Fe- or P-related genes have been proposed Fe-peptides (or Fe ion itself) and microRNAs, like miR399 (P), moving through the phloem. These Fe- or P-related phloem signals could interact with ET/NO and confer specificity to the responses to each deficiency, avoiding the induction of the specific responses when ET/NO increase due to other nutrient deficiencies or stresses. Besides the specificity conferred by these signals, ET itself could confer specificity to the responses to Fe- or P-deficiency by acting through different signaling pathways in each case. Given the above considerations, there are preliminary results suggesting that ET could regulate different nutrient responses by acting both in conjunction with other signals and through different signaling pathways. Because of the close relationship among these two elements, a better knowledge of the physiological and molecular basis of their interaction is necessary to improve their nutrition and to avoid the problems associated with their misuse. As examples of this interaction, it is known that Fe chlorosis can be induced, under certain circumstances, by a P over- fertilization. On the other hand, Fe oxides can have a role in the immobilization of P in soils. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the dynamic of known Fe- and P-related genes expression, selected ad hoc and involved in each of these deficiencies, would allow us to get a profound knowledge of the processes that regulate the responses to both deficiencies. The better knowledge of the regulation by ET of the responses to these deficiencies is necessary to properly understand the interactions between Fe and P. This will allow the obtention of more efficient varieties in the absorption of P and Fe, and the use of more rational management techniques for P and Fe fertilization. This will contribute to minimize the environmental impacts caused by the use of P and Fe fertilizers (Fe chelates) in agriculture and to adjust the costs for farmers, due to the high prices and/or scarcity of Fe and P fertilizers. This review aims to summarize the latest advances in the knowledge about Fe and P deficiency responses, analyzing the similarities and differences among them and considering the interactions among their main regulators, including some hormones (ethylene) and signaling substances (NO and GSNO) as well as other P- and Fe-related signals.     

Ni/W比对NiWCx催化剂加氢性能的影响

过渡金属碳化物具有类似贵金属的电子结构和加氢性能。采用等体积浸渍法制备了不同Ni/W比的NiW/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂,以程序升温碳化法转化为NiW碳化物后对芳烃模型化合物和低温煤焦油中分离所得芳烃组分进行加氢处理。催化剂的N₂吸附、XRD、H₂-TPR和SEM表征表明,Ni的添加促进了载体表面WO₃物种的分散和还原,抑制了WO₃晶体的团聚和大晶粒的生成。萘的加氢实验表明,Ni/W原子比为0.6时催化剂的活性最佳,而添加苯酚和吡啶后的模型油加氢过程中萘的转化率和十氢萘的产率均明显下降,Ni/W原子比为0.47和0.6的催化剂性能相近,煤焦油中芳烃组分加氢后Ni/W原子比为0.47的催化剂性能更优。结果表明,Ni和W均具有良好的加氢活性,但Ni耐杂原子性能较差,二者存在一个最佳的配比以使加氢性能更优。有杂原子化合物存在时,如煤基芳烃组分的加氢,Ni/W原子比为0.47的NiW碳化物催化剂具有更好的加氢性能。     

解析参数对活性焦再生过程及再生效果的影响

 活性焦的热解析参数对再生活性焦的脱硫脱硝性能和机械强度至关重要。为了明确解析参数对活性焦再生过程和再生效果的影响规律,通过热解析试验探究活性焦硫残余比例、CO₂和CO生成量及再生活性焦脱硫脱硝性能随解析温度和解析时间的变化规律,继而明确适宜的活性焦热解析参数。结果表明,活性焦升温解析过程中,脱硫产物在317 ℃左右迅速分解,随后分解速率下降;在进入恒温解析阶段后脱硫产物分解速率先快速下降,而后进入缓慢解析状态。硫残余比例随恒温解析温度的升高而下降,在530 ℃下解析3 h可使脱硫产物完全解析;解析温度高于430 ℃后,活性焦表面的酚基、醌基、内酯基等含氧官能团分解量明显增加,并随恒温解析温度的升高而持续增加,分解所生成的CO和CO₂也随之大幅增加,这将使活性焦的孔隙结构进一步发展,继而不利于活性焦机械强度的保持;解析温度低于530 ℃时,硫残余比例随解析温度的升高而持续降低,使再生活性焦的脱硫脱硝性能持续提高;解析温度高于530 ℃后,含氧官能团分解量随解析温度的升高而持续增加,这将有利于提高活性焦表面SO₂氧化反应速率,继而使再生活性焦的脱硫性能持续升高,但酚基、内酯基等酸性含氧官能团的分解使再生活性焦对NH₃的吸附性能降低,进而使其脱硝性能降低。在兼顾再生活性焦脱硫脱硝性能、机械强度和生产效率等多方面因素时,430 ℃恒温解析3 h是相对较优的解析参数。在此解析条件下,再生活性焦的硫残余比例仅为1.8%,含氧官能团尚未发生大量分解,脱硫脱硝性能相对较为优良。     

板坯连铸大辊径大压下及低压缩比轧制特厚板

 近年来,国内外科研工作者开发的连铸凝固末端重压下技术在改善连铸坯的疏松、偏析等方面取得了良好效果,但仍存在扇形段小辊径压下厚铸坯时,应变难以渗透到铸坯芯部、不利于中心疏松改善等不足。以高效率、低成本、低能耗获得高质量厚铸坯,并实现低压缩比轧制高质量厚规格产品,仍需要进一步探索。为了更加有效地解决厚铸坯连铸凝固过程产生的中心疏松及偏析问题,提出一种全新的宽厚板坯连铸大辊径大压下(BRHR)技术并研制了BRHR设备,在宽厚板坯连铸生产线上安装、调试并运行两年多,同时配套开发了宽厚板坯连铸工艺过程预测与控制系统、二冷水工艺优化控制技术。结果表明,开发的BRHR装备与技术有利于压下应变渗透到铸坯芯部,在连铸生产线上利用凝固末端或刚完全凝固(固相分数f_s=1.0)形成的大于500 ℃或大于400 ℃的大梯度温度场实施大直径辊大压下,可以显著改善宽厚板坯中心缺陷。生产实践证明,采用BRHR装备与技术使厚度为400 mm的宽厚板连铸坯缩孔、疏松及偏析得到显著改善,结合轧制工艺优化以1.90~2.53的极低压缩比轧制生产出厚度为150~200 mm的高质量特厚板,这对低成本、短流程生产高质量特厚规格产品及节能减排意义重大。     

残留CO2对石灰在转炉初渣中溶解的影响

 在转炉炼钢过程中,石灰快速溶解对转炉高效脱磷具有十分重要的意义,石灰溶解过程中熔渣/石灰界面处形成的2CaO·SiO₂产物层被认为是阻碍石灰溶解的关键因素。制备了具有两种不同CO₂含量的部分煅烧石灰石,采用浸泡法研究了部分煅烧石灰石在转炉初渣中的溶解行为,并与纯石灰、石灰石的溶解行为进行比较。结果表明,石灰石溶解时在液态熔渣中CaO的传质系数为石灰的2.1倍,残留CO₂质量分数为10%的部分煅烧石灰石的传质系数高达石灰石的6.7倍。在CO₂质量分数为0～43.5%时,石灰的溶解速率先增大后减小。石灰溶解过程中形成的2CaO·SiO₂层严重阻碍了FeO_x的扩散,从而减缓了石灰的溶解。与石灰不同,石灰石分解产生的CO₂能够破坏2CaO·SiO₂层并破坏自身结构,有利于熔渣的渗透,这也适用于残留CO₂的部分煅烧石灰石。制备纯石灰的过程中为了确保石灰芯部完全煅烧,因此极易导致石灰外表面发生过烧,而制备部分煅烧石灰石能在一定程度上解决表面过烧的问题。此外,与石灰石相比,部分煅烧石灰石由于表面是石灰外壳,溶解初期其表面附近的炉渣温降相对更低,能够避免溶解初期出现停滞阶段。在转炉富余热量有限的情况下,部分煅烧石灰石的石灰替换比高于石灰石,这取决于部分煅烧石灰石中的CO₂残留量。     

高铝高炉渣系的熔化特性

 为了掌握高Al₂O₃条件下(w(Al₂O₃)为15%以上)高炉渣系的熔化特性,利用差式扫描量热仪分析了不同w(MgO)/w(Al₂O₃)、碱度(R)以及w(Al₂O₃)对高铝高炉渣的熔化温度及熔化热的影响。试验结果表明,炉渣熔化开始温度为1 248～1 291 ℃、熔化结束温度为1 432～1 485 ℃、熔化热为137～211 J/g;当w(Al₂O₃)=15%、高w(MgO)/w(Al₂O₃)时,发生了共晶逆反应,导致高炉炉渣熔化开始温度逐渐降低,但由于高炉炉渣的液相线温度基本未变,所以炉渣熔化结束温度基本未发生改变;w(Al₂O₃)为20%时,随着w(MgO)/w(Al₂O₃)的增加,炉渣中易生成熔点较高的镁铝尖晶石,导致高炉炉渣熔化开始温度逐渐增大,与此同时,炉渣液相线温度逐渐降低,导致炉渣熔化结束温度逐渐降低;随着碱度R的增加,高炉炉渣中生成了具有高熔点的化合物、炉渣的液相线温度升高,使得高炉炉渣的熔化开始温度逐渐增加、炉渣熔化结束温度逐渐升高;随着w(Al₂O₃)的增加,发生了共晶逆反应,故炉渣的熔化开始温度逐渐降低,而随着w(Al₂O₃)的增加,炉渣中键能较大的Al—O键增多,需要在更高温度下才能实现炉渣的最终熔化,即熔化结束温度逐渐增加;随着w(MgO)/w(Al₂O₃)、R以及w(Al₂O₃)的增加,炉渣熔化热逐渐增多。分析认为,随着R的增加,炉渣中有高熔点化合物的生成,熔化热增加;随着炉渣中w(Al₂O₃)的增加,炉渣中Al—O键增多,解聚破坏熔渣结构消耗的热量增多;而随着w(MgO)/w(Al₂O₃)增加,高熔点化合物的生成或熔化开始温度降低,造成熔化热增加。
