A synergetic effect in the catalytic activity has been found after palladium introduction in Mn–Al–O systems. The magnitude of the synergetic effect depends on the types of the oxidic manganese species: oxide Mn3O4, spinel (Mn, Mg)[Mn, Al]2O4 or hexaaluminate (Mn, Mg)LaAl11O19. The synergetic effect of Pd and manganese-containing compounds is observed only if palladium is introduced to the low-temperature precursor of the manganese alumina spinel or manganese hexaaluminate. The synergetic effect is not observed when high-temperature samples with formed spinel or hexaaluminate phases are modified with Pd. 相似文献
Five field experiments are described which measured the effect of take-all on grain yield of wheat when 5 levels of manganese fertilizer were applied in a factorial combination with 5 different types of nitrogen fertilizer.Ammonium nitrogen fertilizer, either as ammonium sulphate or ammonium chloride, lowered the severity of take-all. By contrast, sodium nitrate had no effect on the incidence and severity of take-all. Ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate were equally effective at controlling take-all, suggesting that the chloride or sulphate ion had little or no effect on the disease.Manganese sulphate decreased take-all severity at two trial sites. Where manganese was deficient, an application of manganese lowered the severity of take-all, had no effect on the incidence and increased the dry matter and grain yields of the wheat plants. There were no beneficial effects of applied manganese if the wheat plants were adequately supplied with soil manganese.The results suggest that take-all is more severe where plants are deficient in either manganese or nitrogen. The work also suggests that manganese deficiency is not necessarily the reason why the wheat plants grown on the acid soils of south-west Western Australia are prone to take-all. 相似文献
Spinel ferrite MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by means of a nanocasting technique using a low-cost mesoporous silica gel as a hard template. The magnetic nanoparticles, of <10 nm diameter and with a surface area of around 100 m2/g, were tested as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide under neutral and basic conditions. This catalyst shows a much higher activity than previous heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, which is mainly ascribed to its small particle size. Furthermore, the magnetic catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction medium by means of an external magnetic field. The effects of residual silica and the purity of the catalyst (hematite formation) on catalytic activity have been studied and correlated. The results obtained show this catalyst to be a suitable candidate for the removal of pollutants in wastewaters by means of the Fenton heterogeneous reaction. 相似文献
The surface water of a river has been used as the raw water by the Waterworks Bureau of Osaka City. At present, the manganese contained in the raw water is oxidized by breakpoint chlorination and all oxides are removed by coagulation, sedimentation followed by rapid sand filtration, with chlorine being used as the final disinfectant.
Prechlorination was not conducted in the ongoing pilotplant experiment of an advanced water purification process with ozone and granular activated carbon. It is necessary, therefore, to oxidize manganese by the oxidative effect of ozone instead of prechlorination.
It is important for the treatment of manganese to adjust the ozone dosage because manganese is oxidized up to the soluble septavalent state by the surplus ozone. Since ozone does not continue to exist for very long in water, though its disinfecting power is high, final disinfection by chlorine is required. 相似文献
Lithium-deficient LiYMn2O4 spinels (LD-LiYMn2O4) with nominal composition (0.9 ≤ Y < 1) have been synthesized by melt impregnation from Mn2O3 and LiNO3 at temperatures ranging from 700 °C to 850 °C. X-ray diffraction data show that LD-LiYMn2O4 spinels are obtained as single phases in the range Y = 0.975-1 at 700 °C and 750 °C. Morphological characterization by transmission electron microscopy shows that the particle size of LD-LiYMn2O4 spinels increases on decreasing the Li-content. The influence of the Li-content and the synthesis temperature on the thermal and electrochemical behaviours has been systematically studied. Thermal analysis studies indicate that the temperature of the first thermal effect in the differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetric (TG) curves, TC1, linearly increases on decreasing the Li-content. The electrochemical properties of LD-LiYMn2O4 spinels, determined by galvanostatic cycling, notably change with the synthesis conditions. So, the first discharge capacity, Qdisch., at C rate increases on rising the Li-content and the synthesis temperature. The sample Li0.975Mn2O4 synthesized at 700 °C has a Qdisch. = 123 mAh g−1 and a capacity retention of 99.77% per cycle. This LD-LiYMn2O4 sample had the best electrochemical characteristics of the series. 相似文献
The oxidation of iron and manganese by ozone was studied in the laboratory. Model waters both with and without organic matter were used. Results showed iron to be very rapidly oxidized to an insoluble form in the absence of organic matter. However, in the presence of organic matter the iron was protected from oxidation by ozone and precipitation. The degree to which this occurred depended on the nature of the organic matter and the chemical environment at the time of mixing the iron stock and the dissolved organic matter.
Experiments with manganese allowed the determination of second order rate constants for the reaction of ozone with manganese at various pH values. The oxidation of manganese in the presence of organic matter occurred in competition with oxidation of the organic matter. As a result, high ozone doses were required to achieve the same degree of removal of manganese. An increase in bicarbonate alkalinity from 50 mg/L to 200 mg/L did not result in an acceleration of the manganese oxidation in the absence of organic matter. However, in the presence of organic matter, higher levels of bicarbonate created conditions that resulted in more complete oxidation of the manganese following total consumption of the dosed ozone. 相似文献
A novel voltammetric sensor based on chemically modified bentonite–porphyrin carbon paste electrode (MBPCE) has been introduced for the determination of trace amount of Mn(II) in wheat flour, wheat rice and vegetables. In this method Mn(II) gives well-defined voltammetric peak at the pH range of 3.5–7.5. For the preliminary screening purpose, the catalyst was prepared by modification of bentonite with porphyrin and characterized by thermogravimetric method (TG) and UV–vis spectroscopy. The detection limit (three times signal-to-noise) with 4 min accumulation is 1.07 × 10−7 mol L−1 Mn(II). The peak currents increases linearly with Mn(II) concentration over the range of 6.0 × 10−7 to 5.0 × 10−4 mol L−1 (r2 = 0.9959). Statistical treatment of the results gave a relative standard deviation lower than 2.30%. The chemical and instrumental parameters have been optimized and the results showed that 1000-fold excess of the additive ions had not interferences on the determination of Mn(II). 相似文献
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reactive substances closely related to the inflammatory response, and previous studies have shown that anti-inflammatory therapy can achieve significant effects by scavenging ROS. Nanozymes are synthetic mimics of natural enzymes that are more stable, customizable, inexpensive, and catalytic for ROS. Therefore, we prepared a novel manganese-loaded mesoporous silica nanozyme (MnMSN) by template method and KMnO4 oxidation surfactant templates. The physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials were investigated by XRD, TEM, SEM, size, Zeta potential and BET, etc. The results showed that MnMSN contains MnO2 (Mn4+) and MnSiO3 (Mn2+), and the particle size of MnMSN is smaller with the increase of KMnO4 oxidation surfactant templates time, and the in vitro scavenging of ROS (H2O2, ·OH and ·O2–) is more effective. MnMSN has good cytocompatibility, scavenging intracellular ROS and inducing a shift from M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Furthermore, the intrinsic mechanism of MnMSN regulation of macrophage polarization was investigated by ELISA and qPCR, and the results showed that MnMSN is through scavenging ROS, leading to the down-regulation of NF-κB, which further leads to the down-regulation of TNF-α and IL-Iβ. The results of this work highlight the potential of MnMSN in catalyzing anti-inflammatory therapy. 相似文献
Manganese sulfide (MnS) with high specific capacitance and low-cost merits, has been investigated as a potential electroactive material for supercapacitor. However, in practical application, MnS has been suffering from some disadvantageous issues such as insufficient electrical conductivity, serious particle agglomeration as well as huge volume change during continuous charges and discharges, which resulted in a limited specific capacitance, shortened working life and inferior rate performance. Engineering electrode materials with controlled nanostructure and composition is pivotal to improve electrichemical performance of supercapacitors. This paper introduces a facile in situ sulfuration method to fabricate MnS/NSC composite with Mn-hexamethylene tetramine coordination framework as precursor. The results indicated that MnS nanoparticles were highly dispersed and incorporated into nitrogen, sulfur-doped carbon microsheets in MnS/NSC composite. Carbon matrix effectively dispersed and confined the MnS nanoparticles, thus inhibiting aggregation, relieving volume change and retaining structural integrity. Moreover, the 2D conductive carbon matrix reduced the diffusion distance for ions and ensured fast electron delivery. As a result, MnS/NSC electrode delivered a tremendously boosted electrochemical performance for supercapacitor. A large capacitance value about 1881.8F/g was achieved at 1A/g. Even cycling for 3000 loops at 40 A/g, MnS/NSC electrode retained a large capacitance of 404.3F/g. Furthermore, an asymmetric capacitor based on assembly of MnS/NSC composite cathode and activated carbon anode was fabricated. As tested under a current density of 0.1 A/g, it delivered a capacitance of ~ 110.1F/g and achieved an energy density of 12.4 Wh kg?1 along with a power density of 3.03 kW kg?1. These results demonstrate the potential utilization of MnS/NSC composite as electrodes for energy conversion and storage devices and open up a route for material design for future energy storage devices. 相似文献
