Synthesis and characterization of poly(l-glutamic acid)-block-poly(l-phenylalanine)

Poly(γ-benzyl l-glutamate)-block-poly(l-phenylalanine) was prepared via the ring opening polymerization of γ-benzyl l-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride and l-phenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride using n-butylamine·HCl as an initiator for the living polymerization. Polymerization was confirmed by ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy. After deprotection, the vesicular nanostructure of poly(l-glutamic acid)-block-poly(l-phenylalanine) particles was examined by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The pH-dependent properties of the nanoparticles were evaluated by means of ζ-potential and transmittance measurements. The results showed that the block copolypeptide could be prepared using simple techniques. Moreover, the easily prepared PGA-PPA block copolypeptide showed pH-dependent properties due to changes in the PGA ionization state as a function of pH; this characteristic could potentially be exploited for drug delivery applications.

A newly isolated Rhodobacter sphaeroides HY01 with high hydrogen production performance

A newly isolated strain, HY01, was identified to be Rhodobacter sphaeroides by phylogenetic analysis. Some DNA sequence data indicate that it is highly similar to R. sphaeroides ATCC 17029. The effects of initial pH values, nitrogen sources and carbon sources on hydrogen production were studied. The results showed that pH 7.25 is optimum for its hydrogen production. Among the nitrogen sources of glutamic acid, yeast extract, glycine, ethanolamine and l-aspartic acid, the maximum hydrogen production rate of 98.0 ± 6.2 mL/(Lh) using 10 mM glutamic acid and maximum hydrogen yield of 7012.5 ± 150 mL/L using 5 mM glutamic acid was obtained. Maximum hydrogen production rates of 148.7 ± 4.6 mL/(Lh) and 94.8 mL/(Lh) were obtained under 10 klux and 5 klux light intensity using 7 mM glutamic acid as nitrogen source, respectively. Compared with the reported data, it shows high hydrogen production performance and is a good candidate for further study.     

Two-dimension mathematical modeling of photosynthetic bacterial biofilm growth and formation

A two-dimensional model is developed to describe the photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) biofilm formation on the solid surface in a flat-panel photobioreactor. The diffusion-reaction equations and cellular automata (CA) rule along with the previously obtained growth kinetics parameters of PSB are used to simulate the coupled mass transport and biochemical reaction as well as the biomass growth. With this model, the effects of the illumination intensity, pH value and initial inoculation on the formed biofilm morphology, porosity, roughness and thickness are investigated. Numerical results show that the biofilm porosity and thickness continuously decreases and increases during the PSB biofilm formation process, respectively, while the surface roughness reaches a stable value after a certain time. The optimal conditions for the PSB biofilm formation are the initial inoculation of 500, and the illumination intensity of 5000 lx and pH value of 7.0.     

The effect of pH and halides on the corrosion process of stainless steel bipolar plates for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Stainless steel is attractive as material for bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, due to its high electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength and relatively low material and processing cost. Potentiostatic and potentiodynamic tests were performed in H₂SO₄ solutions on AISI 316L stainless steel bipolar plates with etched flow fields. The effect of pH and presence of small amounts of fluoride and chloride on the corrosion rate and interfacial contact resistance of the stainless steel bipolar plate were investigated. The tests performed in electrolytes with various pH values revealed that the oxide layer was thinner and more prone to corrosion at pH values significantly lower than the pH one expects the bipolar plate to experience in an operating proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The use of solutions with very low pH in such measurements is thus probably not the best way of accelerating the corrosion rate of stainless steel bipolar plates. By use of strongly acidic solutions the composition and thickness of the oxide layer on the stainless steel is probably altered in a way that might never have happened in an operating proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Additions of fluoride and chloride in the amounts expected in an operating fuel cell (2 ppm F⁻ and 10 ppm Cl⁻) did not cause significant changes for neither the polarization- nor the contact resistance measurements. However, by increasing the amount of Cl⁻ to 100 ppm, pitting was initiated on the stainless steel surface.     

pH值调控对发酵产氢的影响

利用厌氧活性污泥作产氢接种物，发酵有机质产生氢气，一般是在酸性条件下进行的。以厌氧活性污泥作接种物，有机酸为基质，在厌氧、恒温25℃、不同的pH值下，启动发酵产氢，以及监测产氢过程中的pH值变化，得出pH值过高时，有大量的甲烷生成，pH值过低时，则对产氢细菌不利，难于产氢。启动发酵产氢时，pH值不宜底于4．3，较为适宜的产氢pH值范围4．5～5．5。

不同pH环境下CMS改性纳米铁在异质多孔介质中的迁移

纳米铁在污染土壤和地下水的修复中受到广泛关注。为进一步探究其在多孔介质的迁移行为,本研究采用羧甲基淀粉钠（CMS）对纳米零价铁（nZVI）进行包覆,进行了改性纳米零价铁的沉降试验,测量zeta电位与粒径分布探究其分散性;进行了不同pH条件下改性纳米零价铁在酸洗砂与水洗砂的柱实验,分析了化学异质性与pH对纳米铁在多孔介质迁移的影响。结果表明,CMS包覆纳米铁不仅使纳米颗粒本身稳定,而且还减少其在多孔介质表面沉积,大大提高了迁移性。pH=6～8时,nZVI的zeta电位由18.3mV减小到2.9mV,有效粒径由685nm增大到880nm,稳定性变差;而CMS-nZVI的zeta电位值由-19.7mV增大到-53.5mV,颗粒间静电排斥力增强稳定性变好。经能量色散X射线光谱（EDS）分析,水洗砂表面存在碳、铝、铁等氧化物杂质,这些杂质带有正电荷,会增强与带负电的CMS-nZVI的吸附作用,不利于其迁移;而经过酸洗后的石英砂,其表面杂质大大减少,在pH=8时,CMS-nZVI在酸洗砂最大迁移率为77.0%要好于水洗砂的63.0%。此外较高pH环境有助于增加石英砂介质的表面负电荷,减少颗粒与介质的吸附,促进纳米颗粒的迁移。
