TEM was performed to measure particle sizes. Nitrogenadsorption experiments were carried out to estimate specific surface area, porous distribution and porous ratio by BETand BJH methods. The content of Si-OH in SiO_2 surface was calculated by analysis of the results of hydrogen-oxygencontent mensuration (HOCM). As a result, appropriate heat treatment system and ball milling time are important topreparation for nano-SiO_2 with high activity and mesopores, which are 5～50 nm particles, 5～6 nm average aperture,85%～93% porous ratio, and 51%～55% Si-OH content in surface. Nano-SiO_2 with that structure has high surfaceenergy and activity. This process, which has simple facilities and operation rules, is a new way of preparation fornano-SiO_2 with high activity and mesopores.展开更多

MZS 10 strain, the cultivation medium and decolorization mechanism of the isolate were investigated. The decolorization was discovered to be dependent on cell density of the isolate and reached 93.55% （0.04 g/L） after 14 hr of cultivation in a 5 L stirred-tank fermenter at 2.0 g/L yeast extract and 6.0 g/L soluble starch and a small amount of mineral salts. The decolorization metabolites were identified with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy （UPLC-MS）. A mechanism for decolorization of Azure B was proposed as follows： the C=N in Azure B was initially reduced to -NH by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH）-dependent quinone dehydrogenase, and then the -NH further combined with -OH derived from glucose to form a stable and colorless compound through a dehydration reaction. The phytotoxicity was evaluated for both Azure B and its related derivatives produced by Bacillus sp. MZS 10 decolorization, indicating that the decolorization metabolites were less toxic than original dye. The decolorization efficiency and mechanism shown by Bacillus sp. MZS10 provided insight on its potential application for the bioremediation of the dye Azure B.展开更多
