This process has drawbacks, such as environmental pollution, corrosion of equipment, and low added value of by-product ammonium sulfate. This article designed and prepared a green silica gel-supported trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalyst for the liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of CHO to prepare (CPL). The influencing factors of catalyst preparation and the optimal reaction conditions for Beckmann rearrangement were investigated. It was found that the optimal conditions for catalyst preparation were as follows: raw material silica gel:trifluoromethanesulfonic acid = 1:0.2 (mass ratio), room temperature, stirring time of 2.5 hours, and solvent of acetonitrile, silica gel mesh size is 100 - 200. The optimal reaction conditions for Beckmann rearrangement are CHO: catalyst = 1:2 (mass ratio), temperature of 130˚C, solvent of benzonitrile, volume of 30 mL/g CHO, and reaction time of 4 hours. Under the above conditions, the conversion of CHO is 90%, and the selectivity of CPL is 90%.展开更多

The 2,4-D-imprinted amino-functionalized silica sorbent was characterized by FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption and static adsorption experiments. The selectivity of the sorbent was investigated by a batch competitive binding experiment using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4-dichlorophenol （2,4-DCP） mixture or using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4- dichlorophenylacetic acid （DPAC） mixture. The largest selectivity coefficient for 2,4-D in the presence of 2,4-DCP was found to be over 18, the largest relative selectivity coefficient between 2,4-D and 2,4-DCP over 9. The static uptake capacity and selectivity coefficient of the 2,4-D-imprinted functionalized sorbent are higher than those of the non-imprinted sorbent. The imprinted functionalized silica gel sorbent offered a fast kinetics for the extraction/stripping of 2,4-D, 73% of binding capacity （200 mg/L 2,4-D onto 20 mg of imprinted sorbent） was obtained within 5 min and the adsorbed 2,4-D can be easily stripped by the mixture solution of ethanol and 6 mol/L HC1 （V：V =1：1）. In a test of five extraction/stripping cycles, the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was all above 93% of that of the fresh sorbent. Experimental result showed the potential of molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-D.展开更多

The adsorbent was characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） and potentiometric titration analysis. The TGA result indicated that the surface modification reactions introduced some organic functional groups onto the surface of silica. The surface area of AMPSsilica was 389.7 m2/g. The adsorbent was examined for copper ion removal in series of batch adsorption experiments. Results showed that the adsorption of Cu2＋ onto AMPS-silica was pH dependent, and the adsorption capacity increased with increasing pH from 2 to 6. The adsorption kinetics showed that Cu^2＋ adsorption was fast and the data fitted well with a pseudo secondorder kinetic model. The adsorption of Cu^2＋ onto AMPS-silica obeyed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms, with r^2 = 0.993 and r^2 = 0.984, respectively. The maximum Cu^2＋ adsorption capacity was 19.9 mg/g. The involved mechanism might be the adsorption through metal binding with organic functional groups such as carboxyl, amino and sulfonic groups. Cu^2＋ loaded on AMPS-silica could be desorbed in HNO3 solution, and the adsorption properties remain stable after three adsorption-desorption cycles.展开更多

The as-prepared sorbents were characterized by N2 adsorption, FT-1R and SEM techniques. CO2 capture was tested in a fixed bed reactor using a simulated flue gas containing 15.1% CO2 in a temperature range of 25-100 ~C. The effects of sorption temperature and amine content on CO2 uptake of the adsorbents were investigated. The silica gel with a 30 wt% PEI loading manifested the largest CO2 uptake of 93.4 mgcoz/gadsorbent （equal to 311.3 mg^oz/gPEI） among the tested sorbents under the conditions of 15.1% （v/v） CO2 in N2 at 75 ~C and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, it was rather low-cost. In addition, the PEI-impregnated silica gel exhibited stable adsorption-desorption behavior during 5 consecutive test cycles. These results suggest that the PEI-impregnated silica gel is a promising and cost-effective sorbent for CO2 capture from flue gas and other stationary sources with low CO2 concentration.展开更多

DON is in great demand for the toxicological researches both in vivo and in vitro. In this work, wheat culture was inoculated with a Fusarium graminearum PH-1 strain for DON production. The solvent system for crude extraction was acetonitrile-water（84：16, v/v）. A simple two-step silica gel column chromatography was employed to separate the DON mycotoxin from wheat culture, combined with preparative high performance liquid chromatography（preparative HPLC） to purify the compound. The solvent system for the second silica gel column chromatography was methylene chloride-methanol（17：1, v/v）, which provided a good elution effect selected on thin layer chromatography（TLC）. The target compound was identified by HPLC, and the chemical structure was confirmed by mass spectrometry（MS） and ~1H and ^（13）C nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） spectroscopy. A total of 433 mg of purified DON was obtained from 1 kg of wheat culture, with a purity of 99.01%. The study had provided an easy-operating and cost-effective method to isolate an expensive compound in a simple way.展开更多

The desorption activation energies of the water vapor on virgin and modified silica gels were estimated by using the Temperature Programmed Desorption （TPD） technique. The interactions between the water and the virgin and modified silica gels were discussed. Results showed that the thermodynamic parameters and desorption activation energy of water vapour on the silica gels increase with decreasing pore size and increasing the surface hydrophilic properties. The desorption activation energy of virgin and modified silica gels was found to increase with increasing the thermodynamic parameters. The larger the adsorption parameters and the desorption activation energy were, the interactions between water and virgin and modified silica gels were.展开更多

The crystals maintain spherulitic morphology, irrespective of the value of x, concentration of upper and lower reactants, gel pH, gel age and gel temperature. Formation Of Liesegang rings in this system is a temperature dependent phenomenon. It is shown that with the increase of the value of x the system passes from Liesegangring phenomenon to singlezone phenomenon. Operative mechanism of crystallization in the higher (35~40℃) and lower temperature ranges (25~30℃) is explained. Seeded growth experiments indicate the possibility of increasing the size of the spherulites in the gel medium展开更多

The results show that filter paper has thirteen Raman lines in 800 - 1 500 cm 1 and silica gel plate has eight lines in the region of 400 - 1 200 cm-I. The frequencies and Raman active modes are assigned. By comparing their Raman spectra and SERS spectra, we find that the silver colloid could repress the Raman intensities of filter paper and silica gel plate, and reduce their effects on the combination of thin-layer chromatographic （TLC） and SERS. Ac- cording to SERS spectra, the bands at 997 cm 1,1 094 cm I ,1 118 cm-1 ,1 336 cm-1 and 1 378 cm-1 for filter paper and the peak of v l [ SO4] symmetric stretching vibration （--1 017 cm-1 ） for silica gel plate also have high intensities, and those lines should be paid enough attention in TLC-SERS.展开更多

Co^2＋ was found the most suitable impregnant for the mutual separation of nonionic surfactants （Brij-35 and Brij-57） and cationic from nonionic surfactants （tetmdecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cween-20）. Zinc sulphate impregnation （Zn^2＋-silica gel） shows identical chromatographic behavior and these layers are useful to separate nonionic surfactant （Brij-35） from cationic surfaetant （cetylpyridinium chloride）. The mutual separation of B J-35 and B J-57 is not influenced by the presence of optical brightener in the sample.展开更多

While a direct application of such anisotropic silica gels is for an optical anisotropic medium possessing chemical resistance, we show here their possibility of medium in materials processing. In this direction, for example, silica hydrogels have so far been used as media of crystal growth. In this paper, as opposed to the soft-wet state, dried silica gels have been investigated. We have found that lead （II） nanocrystallites were formed induced by electron irradiation to lead （ll）-doped dried Hydrogels made from a sodium metasilicate solution doped with silica gels prepared in a high magnetic field such as B = 10 T. lead （II） acetate were prepared. The dried specimens were irradiated by electrons in a transmission electron microscope environment. Electron diffraction patterns indicated the crystallinity of lead （II） nanocrystallites depending on B. An advantage of this processing technique is that the crystallinity can be controlled through the strength of magnetic field B applied during gel preparation. Specific skills are not required to control the strength of magnetic field.展开更多

Texture development of the samples was studied at room temperature, 100, 200 and 300 ℃. At each temperature, the samples were axially compressed keeping the load constant at every -500 N step up to the maximum 2,400 N （- 48 MPa）. At the different loads and temperatures, 2D images and load/elongation curves were recorded in situ to get information about the texture development and the rheological behaviour of the potycrystalline halite samples. At high stresses, the doped halite samples show an increase in the elastic moduli and in the microstrain The results were confirmed by the single grain orientation analyses using the FABLE program, where a sharpening of the texture was observed.展开更多

文摘A molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2,4-D） was prepared by a surface imprinting technique in combination with a sol-gel process. The 2,4-D-imprinted amino-functionalized silica sorbent was characterized by FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption and static adsorption experiments. The selectivity of the sorbent was investigated by a batch competitive binding experiment using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4-dichlorophenol （2,4-DCP） mixture or using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4- dichlorophenylacetic acid （DPAC） mixture. The largest selectivity coefficient for 2,4-D in the presence of 2,4-DCP was found to be over 18, the largest relative selectivity coefficient between 2,4-D and 2,4-DCP over 9. The static uptake capacity and selectivity coefficient of the 2,4-D-imprinted functionalized sorbent are higher than those of the non-imprinted sorbent. The imprinted functionalized silica gel sorbent offered a fast kinetics for the extraction/stripping of 2,4-D, 73% of binding capacity （200 mg/L 2,4-D onto 20 mg of imprinted sorbent） was obtained within 5 min and the adsorbed 2,4-D can be easily stripped by the mixture solution of ethanol and 6 mol/L HC1 （V：V =1：1）. In a test of five extraction/stripping cycles, the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was all above 93% of that of the fresh sorbent. Experimental result showed the potential of molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-D.

文摘A novel adsorbent （AMPS-silica） was synthesized by bounding AMPS （2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid） onto silica surface, which functioned with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane reagent. The adsorbent was characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） and potentiometric titration analysis. The TGA result indicated that the surface modification reactions introduced some organic functional groups onto the surface of silica. The surface area of AMPSsilica was 389.7 m2/g. The adsorbent was examined for copper ion removal in series of batch adsorption experiments. Results showed that the adsorption of Cu2＋ onto AMPS-silica was pH dependent, and the adsorption capacity increased with increasing pH from 2 to 6. The adsorption kinetics showed that Cu^2＋ adsorption was fast and the data fitted well with a pseudo secondorder kinetic model. The adsorption of Cu^2＋ onto AMPS-silica obeyed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms, with r^2 = 0.993 and r^2 = 0.984, respectively. The maximum Cu^2＋ adsorption capacity was 19.9 mg/g. The involved mechanism might be the adsorption through metal binding with organic functional groups such as carboxyl, amino and sulfonic groups. Cu^2＋ loaded on AMPS-silica could be desorbed in HNO3 solution, and the adsorption properties remain stable after three adsorption-desorption cycles.

文摘In this work, a series of polyethyleneimine （PEI） functionalized commercial silica gel were prepared by wet impregnation method and used as CO2 sorbent. The as-prepared sorbents were characterized by N2 adsorption, FT-1R and SEM techniques. CO2 capture was tested in a fixed bed reactor using a simulated flue gas containing 15.1% CO2 in a temperature range of 25-100 ~C. The effects of sorption temperature and amine content on CO2 uptake of the adsorbents were investigated. The silica gel with a 30 wt% PEI loading manifested the largest CO2 uptake of 93.4 mgcoz/gadsorbent （equal to 311.3 mg^oz/gPEI） among the tested sorbents under the conditions of 15.1% （v/v） CO2 in N2 at 75 ~C and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, it was rather low-cost. In addition, the PEI-impregnated silica gel exhibited stable adsorption-desorption behavior during 5 consecutive test cycles. These results suggest that the PEI-impregnated silica gel is a promising and cost-effective sorbent for CO2 capture from flue gas and other stationary sources with low CO2 concentration.

文摘Deoxynivalenol（DON） is a type B trichothecenes mycotoxin produced by several Fusarium species, often found in foodstuffs for humans and animals. DON is in great demand for the toxicological researches both in vivo and in vitro. In this work, wheat culture was inoculated with a Fusarium graminearum PH-1 strain for DON production. The solvent system for crude extraction was acetonitrile-water（84：16, v/v）. A simple two-step silica gel column chromatography was employed to separate the DON mycotoxin from wheat culture, combined with preparative high performance liquid chromatography（preparative HPLC） to purify the compound. The solvent system for the second silica gel column chromatography was methylene chloride-methanol（17：1, v/v）, which provided a good elution effect selected on thin layer chromatography（TLC）. The target compound was identified by HPLC, and the chemical structure was confirmed by mass spectrometry（MS） and ~1H and ^（13）C nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） spectroscopy. A total of 433 mg of purified DON was obtained from 1 kg of wheat culture, with a purity of 99.01%. The study had provided an easy-operating and cost-effective method to isolate an expensive compound in a simple way.
文摘The hierarchically structured ZSM-5 monolith was prepared through transforming the skeletons of the macroporous silica gel into ZSM-5 by the steam-assisted conversion method. The morphology and monolithic shapes of macroporous silica gel were well preserved. The hierarchically structured ZSM-5 monolith exhibited the hierarchical porosity, with mesopores and macropores existing inside the macroporous silica gel, and micropores formed by the ZSM-5. The products have been characterized properly by using the XRD, SEM and N2 adsorption–desorption methods.
文摘In this work, the thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of water vapor on untreated silica gel and silica gel treated with hygroscopic salts and silane coupling agent were determined by lnverse Gas Chromatography （IGC） in the infinite dilution region. The desorption activation energies of the water vapor on virgin and modified silica gels were estimated by using the Temperature Programmed Desorption （TPD） technique. The interactions between the water and the virgin and modified silica gels were discussed. Results showed that the thermodynamic parameters and desorption activation energy of water vapour on the silica gels increase with decreasing pore size and increasing the surface hydrophilic properties. The desorption activation energy of virgin and modified silica gels was found to increase with increasing the thermodynamic parameters. The larger the adsorption parameters and the desorption activation energy were, the interactions between water and virgin and modified silica gels were.
文摘Trace copper (II) in water can be preconcentrated using silica gel modified with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) and be determined spectrophotometri-cally. The conditions for the preconcentration were studied. The method was applied to both artificial and natural water samples and the results suggest that copper (II) of ppb level in water can be measured accurately after the preconcentration.
文摘Two types of modified silica gels were prepared by adsorption method and bonding method respectively. Enrichment and separation of trace metal ions have been done by using the column packed with modified silica gels.
文摘Experiments performed on the grwth of mixed crystals of rare earth tartrates (Y1-xSmx)2 (C4H4O6)3.zH2O (0≤x≤1) from silica gels at 35~40℃ and 25~30℃ employing single-diffusion technique. are discussed. The crystals maintain spherulitic morphology, irrespective of the value of x, concentration of upper and lower reactants, gel pH, gel age and gel temperature. Formation Of Liesegang rings in this system is a temperature dependent phenomenon. It is shown that with the increase of the value of x the system passes from Liesegangring phenomenon to singlezone phenomenon. Operative mechanism of crystallization in the higher (35~40℃) and lower temperature ranges (25~30℃) is explained. Seeded growth experiments indicate the possibility of increasing the size of the spherulites in the gel medium

文摘Raman spectra and surface-enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） spectra of filter paper and silica gel plate are ob- tained at 785-nm excitation wavelength. The results show that filter paper has thirteen Raman lines in 800 - 1 500 cm 1 and silica gel plate has eight lines in the region of 400 - 1 200 cm-I. The frequencies and Raman active modes are assigned. By comparing their Raman spectra and SERS spectra, we find that the silver colloid could repress the Raman intensities of filter paper and silica gel plate, and reduce their effects on the combination of thin-layer chromatographic （TLC） and SERS. Ac- cording to SERS spectra, the bands at 997 cm 1,1 094 cm I ,1 118 cm-1 ,1 336 cm-1 and 1 378 cm-1 for filter paper and the peak of v l [ SO4] symmetric stretching vibration （--1 017 cm-1 ） for silica gel plate also have high intensities, and those lines should be paid enough attention in TLC-SERS.
文摘Silica gel impregnated with 1% aqueous solutions of different metal cations （Li^＋, Mg^2＋, Zn^2＋, Cu^2＋, Co^2＋, Ni^2＋, Ba^2＋and Th^4＋） has been used for the analysis of nonionic and cationic surfaetants using simple aqueous acetone as mobile phase system. Co^2＋ was found the most suitable impregnant for the mutual separation of nonionic surfactants （Brij-35 and Brij-57） and cationic from nonionic surfactants （tetmdecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cween-20）. Zinc sulphate impregnation （Zn^2＋-silica gel） shows identical chromatographic behavior and these layers are useful to separate nonionic surfactant （Brij-35） from cationic surfaetant （cetylpyridinium chloride）. The mutual separation of B J-35 and B J-57 is not influenced by the presence of optical brightener in the sample.
文摘In a previous study, structure of silica gels prepared in a high magnetic field was investigated. While a direct application of such anisotropic silica gels is for an optical anisotropic medium possessing chemical resistance, we show here their possibility of medium in materials processing. In this direction, for example, silica hydrogels have so far been used as media of crystal growth. In this paper, as opposed to the soft-wet state, dried silica gels have been investigated. We have found that lead （II） nanocrystallites were formed induced by electron irradiation to lead （ll）-doped dried Hydrogels made from a sodium metasilicate solution doped with silica gels prepared in a high magnetic field such as B = 10 T. lead （II） acetate were prepared. The dried specimens were irradiated by electrons in a transmission electron microscope environment. Electron diffraction patterns indicated the crystallinity of lead （II） nanocrystallites depending on B. An advantage of this processing technique is that the crystallinity can be controlled through the strength of magnetic field B applied during gel preparation. Specific skills are not required to control the strength of magnetic field.
文摘This paper presents an experimental investigation of the microstructural development upon in situ compression and heating of pure and SiO2 gel-doped （5 wt%） polycrystalline halite, with grain sizes ranging from 45 μm to 〉70 μm （cold pressed at 200 MPa and heated at 150 ℃ for one week）, using high energy synchrotron x-ray radiation. Texture development of the samples was studied at room temperature, 100, 200 and 300 ℃. At each temperature, the samples were axially compressed keeping the load constant at every -500 N step up to the maximum 2,400 N （- 48 MPa）. At the different loads and temperatures, 2D images and load/elongation curves were recorded in situ to get information about the texture development and the rheological behaviour of the potycrystalline halite samples. At high stresses, the doped halite samples show an increase in the elastic moduli and in the microstrain The results were confirmed by the single grain orientation analyses using the FABLE program, where a sharpening of the texture was observed.
