Decomposition process proceeds via cleavage of the O-O bridge of the POA molecule, generating thus an alcoxy intermediate radical. Its concentration increases to a certain equilibrium stage during the time scale of the experiment. EPR spectra in the solid state were of the singlet type at the temperatures over 350 K, a doublet like anisotropic spectra were measured at the room temperature, both having g-value 2.0033. EPR spectrum from POA decomposed in benzene indicates four protons with higher (2aH = 0.305 mT, 2aH = 0.335 mT) and four protons with a lower (2aH = 0.075 mT, 2aH = 0.105 mT) splitting constants, corresponding well the radical expected after cleavage of O-O bridge.展开更多

The effects ...Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute an important group of micropollutants, which are known to be mutagenic, carcinogenic and/or co-carcinogenic and relatively persistent in the environment. The effects of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) on the degradation of anthracene (ANTH), pyrene (PYR) and benzo[a]anthracene (BaA) in aqueous solution were investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In preliminary experiments, it was observed that ClO2 could remove these three PAHs effectively within a short time. Several factors including reaction time, the concentration of ClO2 and pH of the reaction mixture influencing the degradation ratio of PAHs have been studied by batch experiments. The results showed that the degradation ratio of PAHs was affected by reaction time and the concentration of ClO2 instead of pH. The degradation ratio of ANTH, PYR and BaA could reach their maximum as approximately 99.0%, 67.5% and 89.5%, respectively, under the condition as follows: reaction time 30, 60 and 120 min, the concentration of ClO2 0.1, 0.4 and 0.5 mmol·L-1, and pH 7.2. ANTH was selected as the representative to study the reaction mechanism with ClO2. The oxidation products formed in the reaction of ANTH with ClO2 were tentatively identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the results showed that the main product was 9, 10-anthraquinone, which could be biodegraded more easily and quickly than ANTH. Through analyzing the reaction properties of ANTH and ClO2, the possible pathway for the ANTH-ClO2 reaction was proposed based on the theory of single electron transfer (SET).展开更多

Dealumination is induced by impregnation of zirconium with flux followed by a sulfuric acid treatment. This procedure results in a series of highly uniform nano-spheres, which exhibit stronger acid property than that of Al-MCM-41. In the selective alkylation of anthracene with tert–amyl alcohol, SO_(4)^(2-)modified Zr-contained dealuminated Al-DFNS(SZ-De Al-DFNS) shows great catalytic activity and higher conversion(60.8%). The DFNS samples were characterized with XRD, SEM, TEM, NH_(3)-TPD and other techniques. The results reveal that DFNSs consist of center-radial micro-mesopores and that the acid contribution of SZ-De Al-DFNS is much broader,as compared with amorphous aluminosilicate.展开更多

Hydrophobic molecules such as anthracene andperylene are selectively absorbed in these pseudo micellar structures, and their fluorescenceemission is sensitized by energy transfer from the surrounding naphthalene chromophores.When irradiated with UV light in the presence of oxygen, the emission of perylene rapidlydecreases. It is proposed that this is due to reaction of singlet oxygen with the perylenetrapped in the hypercoiled polymer.展开更多

文摘The present study investigated the efficiency of Aspergillus sydowii strain bpol(GenBank Accession Number:MK373021)in the removal of anthracene(100 mg/L).Optimal degradation efficiency(98.7%)was observed at neutral pH,temperature(30℃),biomass weight(2 g)and salinity(0.2%w/v)within 72 h.The enzyme analyses revealed 131%,107%,and 89%induction in laccase,lignin peroxidase,and manganese peroxidase respectively during anthracene degradation.Furthermore,the degradation efficiency(99.8%)and enzyme induction were significantly enhanced with the addition of 100 mg/L of citric acid and glucose to the culture.At varying anthracene concentrations(100-500 mg/L),the degradation rate constants(K1)peaked with increasing concentration of anthracene while the half-life(t1/2)decreases with increase in anthracene concentration.Goodness of fit(R2=0.976 and 0.982)was observed when the experimental data were subjected to Langmuir and Temkin models respectively which affirmed the monolayer and heterogeneous nature exhibited by A.sydwoii cells during degradation.Four distinct metabolites;anthracene-1,8,9(2H,8aH,9aH)-trione,2,4adihydronaphthalene-1,5-dione,l,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-2-benzofuran-4,7-dione and 2-hydroxybenzoic acid was obtained through Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry(GC-MS).A.sydowii exhibited promising potentials in the removal of PAHs.

文摘In situ formation of composite micro-mesoporous dendritic fibrous nano-silica(DFNS) and Al-DFNS was prepared using a cetylpyridinium bromide(CPB) template synthetic system. Dealumination is induced by impregnation of zirconium with flux followed by a sulfuric acid treatment. This procedure results in a series of highly uniform nano-spheres, which exhibit stronger acid property than that of Al-MCM-41. In the selective alkylation of anthracene with tert–amyl alcohol, SO_(4)^(2-)modified Zr-contained dealuminated Al-DFNS(SZ-De Al-DFNS) shows great catalytic activity and higher conversion(60.8%). The DFNS samples were characterized with XRD, SEM, TEM, NH_(3)-TPD and other techniques. The results reveal that DFNSs consist of center-radial micro-mesopores and that the acid contribution of SZ-De Al-DFNS is much broader,as compared with amorphous aluminosilicate.

文摘Present work compared the toxicological responses of A.testudineus(Bloch)to anthracene exposure after treatment with two concentrations i.e.,25%(0.0075 mg/l)and 50%(0.015 mg/l)of LC50 value(0.030 mg/l)for different exposure periods of 1,5,10,15 and 21 day(s).An intensive comparison of the effects was made based on haematological and biochemical parameters of blood.Haematological responses revealed significant increase in some blood parameters,viz.,WBC,%LYM,MCV,MCH and MCHC but RBC,Hb,PCV and PLT showed decreasing trends.Biochemical responses like CHOLES,PRO,ALB,Trig showed enhanced pattern in the initial exposure of day one then reduced gradually but GLU,GPT,Ca,ALP,HDL,and LDL showed reverse pattern.Additionally,integrated biomarker responses(IBR)indicated that the biochemical parameters are more useful in determining the anthracene stress on fish health than the haematological parameters.Overall findings of this study suggested that the IBR analysis is a useful tool in monitoring quantitative(dose-specific)as well as qualitative(exposure-specific)responses to toxicological effects of anthracene exposure on fish health.

文摘Photoinduced electron-transfer system of anthracene-N,N-di-ethylaniline (DEA) was studied in the oil in water (O/W) mi-croemulsions formed by SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate),BA (benzyl alcohol) and H2O.The time-resolved fluorescence study showed that the fluorescence quenching of the excited anthracene by DEA occurs at the interface of the O/W mi-croemulsions.Besides as the quencher of the excited anthracene,N,N-diethylaniline could act as a cosurfactant to change the structures of the microemulsions,just as BA did.The quenching rate constants for the different structures of the system were determined.

文摘To identify the effect of solvents and anthracene on the purification of carbazole,the solvent crystallization of carbazole was investigated with xylene,chlorobenzene and tetrachloroethylene(TCE)as solvents under two forced circulation cooling(FCC)modes.The co-crystalline experimental data were obtained from runs carried out at different anthracene levels between 1%(mass)and 10%(mass).The results showed that a uniform flake carbazole crystal obtained when using xylene and chlorobenzene under the FCC-1 mode with gradual cooling rate.Nevertheless,fine flake crystals grown under shock cooling of FCC-2 mode.It is beneficial to improving the purity of carbazole with chlorobenzene as solvent under cooling mode of FCC-1.Anthracene could promote the growth of carbazole in solution,and it has a significant influence on the purification of carbazole.

文摘Polymers of 1- and 2-vinylnaphthalene containing more than about 50mol% sulfonic acid groups dissolve in water to form 'hypercoiled' conformations whichhave many of the properties of micelles. Hydrophobic molecules such as anthracene andperylene are selectively absorbed in these pseudo micellar structures, and their fluorescenceemission is sensitized by energy transfer from the surrounding naphthalene chromophores.When irradiated with UV light in the presence of oxygen, the emission of perylene rapidlydecreases. It is proposed that this is due to reaction of singlet oxygen with the perylenetrapped in the hypercoiled polymer.

文摘Flexible molecular crystal waveguides based on elastic molecular crystals(EMCs)are essential inflexible and compact optical materials.An increased loss coeffi-cientαdue to self-absorption is often a problem in optical waveguides(OWGs)offluorescent chemical materials waveguiding photons in active mode.Herein,the development of anthracene-based elastic mixed molecular crystals(EMMCs)is reported for Förster Resonance Energy Transfer(FRET)-assisted OWG.To yield a FRET crystal system based on elastic molecular crystals,1%–5%accep-tor doping forfluorescent molecular crystals of 9,10-dibromoanthracene 1 was successful by selecting the same regioisomer having electron-withdrawing group,9,10-diformylanthracene 2,as a dopant.In addition to conversion to the mixed system,there is a difference in the elastic modulus and hardness in EMC C1 and EMMC C2@1.However,the elastic behaviour was also shown in a few percent doping of the acceptor.Theαvalue of this EMMC,composed of 1 including 1%of 2(0.0077 dB/μm),is much lower than that of EMC composed of 1(0.1258 dB/μm)because of reducing self-absorption in the FRET system.An efficient andflexible OWG was successfully developed by selecting an appropriate acceptor molecule and its low doping rate for mixed crystal construction.This method is a practical approach in various functional andflexible crystal systems.
