Photodegradation of 2-naphthol in aqueous solutions in the presence of humic acid and ferric ions

In this work, the photodegradation of the carcinogenic pollutant 2-naphthol in aqueous solution containing Aldrich humic acid (HA) and ferric ions (Fe(III)) under 125 W and 250 W high pressure mercury lamp (HPML, lambda >= 365 nm) irradiation was investigated. The photooxidation efficiencies were dependent on the pH values, light intensities and Fe(III)/HA concentration in the water, with higher efficiency at pHs 3-4, and 50 mu mol l(-1) Fe(III) with 20 mg l(-1) HA under 250 W HPML. The initial rate of photooxidation increases with increasing, the initial concentration of 2-naphthol from 10 mu mol l(-1) to 100 mu mol l(-1), while do not change at 50 and 100 mu mol l(-1). However, higher removal efficiency of 2-naphthol is achieved at its lower initial concentration of 10 mu mol l(-1), and initial rate of photooxidation is 0.193 mu mol l(-1) min(-1). Dissolved oxygen (DO) plays an important role in the system containing Fe(III)-HA complexes in which Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions were enhanced in the environment. Hydroxyl radicals produced in HA solution with or without ferric ions were determined by using benzene as free radical scavenger and phenol as scavenging products proportional to hydroxyl radicals. By using UV-Vis and excited fluorescence spectrum techniques, the main photooxidation products, which have higher absorption in the region of 240-340 nm, were found, and the mechanisms for the oxidative degradation is proposed.

Preliminary study on the photoproduction of hydroxyl radicals in aqueous solution with Aldrich humic acid, algae and Fe(III) under high-pressure mercury lamp irradiation

Under a high-pressure mercury lamp (HPML) and using an exposure time of 4 h, the photoproduction of hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-.) could be induced in an aqueous solution containing humic acid (HA). Hydroxyl radicals were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using benzene as a probe. The results showed that (OH)-O-. photoproduction increased from 1.80 to 2.74 muM by increasing the HA concentration from 10 to 40 mg L-1 at an exposure time of 4 h (pH 6.5). Hydroxyl radical photoproduction in aqueous solutions of HA containing algae was greater than that in the aqueous solutions of HA without algae. The photoproduction of (OH)-O-. in the HA solution with Fe(111) was greater than that of the solution without Fe(III) at pH ranging from 4.0 to 8.0. The photoproduction of (OH)-O-. in HA solution with algae with or without Fe(111) under a 250 W HPML was greater than that under a 125 W HPML. The photoproduction of (OH)-O-. in irradiated samples was influenced by the pH. The results showed that HPML exposure for 4 h in the 4-8 pH range led to the highest (OH)-O-. photoproduction at pH 4.0.

磷钼钒杂多酸在苯直接羟化反应中的催化作用

本论文工作在苯的直接液相羟化和杂多酸催化两方面的文献总结基础上，探讨了在苯直接羟化反应中磷钼钒杂多酸(H_(3+n)PMo_(12-n)VnO_(40))对H_2O_2和O_2活化的机理。实验表明，以这两种不同状态的氧为氧化剂时，该体系均能发生直接羟化反应。一、磷钼钒杂多酸＋H_2O_2体系在苯直接羟化反应中的催化行为和Fenton(Fe~(+2)+H_2O_2)体系的完全不同；苯酚是唯一的羟化的产物。用不同的(H_(3+n)PMo_(12-n)VnO_(40))、不同的催化剂浓度、不同的氧化剂浓度、不同温度等条件所作实验表明，酚收率与催化剂和催化剂浓度无关，与氧化剂浓度和温度有关。H_2O_2在磷钼钒杂多酸催化下的分解动力学呈－“S”形曲线。电子光谱数据表明，H_2O_2分解过程中形成两种中间络合物。以此为依据，提出了磷钼钒杂多酸对H_2O_2活化和苯羟化的反应机理。认为杂多酸阴离子上的钒先和H_2O_2形成过渡的金属过酸型络合物，然后再自催化机理转化成金属过氧络合物，后者在反应过程中起活化H_2O_2和羟化苯的活性种作用。按此反应机理推导所得的动力学理论公式可以和实验结果取得很好的一致。二、在以O_2为氧化剂时，只有在供电子体存在下，磷钼钒杂多酸才能活化氧进行羟化反应，以抗坏血酸为还原剂时，只有当钒取代数＞2时，才有吸氧和羟化反应发生，吸氧速度和抗坏血酸浓度无关，羟化收率随催化剂浓度和取代数n的增加而增加，随抗坏血酸的浓度升高而下降。以亚硫酸为还原剂时，包括PMo_(12)在内的所有磷钼钒杂多酸系列均能发生吸氧和羟化反应，吸氧速度和亚硫酸浓度有关，而羟化收率与催化剂浓度和取代数n无明显对应关系。电解还原羟化反应结果表明，在无供电子体作用下，磷钼钒杂多酸对氧的活性与还原电子数有关。电位滴定和循环伏安测试结果表明，以AH_2为还原剂时，还原电子数与钒取代数相等，钒离子上还原电子的排斥能随钒取代数增加而增加。电子光谱和ESR谱表明两种还原剂与磷钼钒杂多酸的作用不同。据此实验事实，对由两种不同供电子体组成的体系，提出了各自可能的活化氧的机理。认为在以抗坏血酸为还原剂的情况下，杂多酸阴离子通过三电子传递过程直接络合氧；氧与阴离子形成中间络合物为控制步骤。在以亚硫酸为还原剂的情况下，认为供电子体可能通过与杂多酸阴离子络合活化而直接参与氧的活化过程，供电子体与阴离子的还原络合为控制步骤。根据所提出的机理，可以对实验事实作出较为满意的说明。

活性氧自由基与嘧啶碱基及其核苷反应的ESP研究

本文以MNP（2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane）为捕捉剂，利用自旋捕捉技术和ESR方法，室温条件下，研究了活性氧自由基与嘧啶碱基及其核苷在水溶液中的反应。确定了所产生的自由基类别，讨论了自由基的形成机制。在本工作中，我们在下列三种体系中，研究了活性氧自由基与嘧啶碱基及其核苷的反应。1.核黄素（B_2）水溶液中，O_2~-与嘧啶碱基及其核苷的反应。2.H_2O_2水溶液中，OH与嘧啶碱基及其核苷的反应。3.γ射线辐照水溶液过程中，OH与嘧啶碱基及其核苷的反应。在核黄素（B_2）水溶液中，通过U.V.光辐照，我们得到了活性氧自由基与尿嘧啶、胞嘧啶、胞苷、脱氧胞苷、胸腺嘧啶、胸腺核苷反应所产生的自由基，及由这些自由基与MNP自旋加合物的ESR谱。确认了自由基Ⅰ，Ⅱ，Ⅲ，Ⅳ，Ⅴ，Ⅵ的存在。为了判别与嘧啶碱基或嘧啶核苷反应的活性氧自由基的种类，我们在下列三种条件下进行了测试：（1）加入适量DETAPAC（2）通N_2或Ar除O_2；（3）加入H_2O_2酶，均未得到ESR信号。据此，我们排除了O_2~-与嘧啶碱基或嘧啶核革直接反应的可能性。确认与嘧啶碱基或嘧啶核苷发生直接反应的是OH，其形成是Fenton反应的结果。 Fe~(2+) ＋ O_2~- → H_2O_2 ＋ Fe~(3+) （a） Fe~(2+) ＋ H_2O_2 → ·OH ＋ OH~- ＋ Fe~(3+) （b）Fe~(3+) ＋ O_2~- → Fe~(2+)＋O_2 （c）通过Fenton反应，O_2~-转化成·OH，间接与嘧啶或核苷发生了反应。U.V.光照含有MNP和1％H_2O_2的样品水溶液，我们确定了·OH与嘧啶碱基及其核苷反应所产生的自由基Ⅰ，Ⅱ，Ⅲ，Ⅳ，Ⅴ，Ⅵ，Ⅶ，Ⅷ，Ⅸ，Ⅹ。发现，·OH与尿嘧啶及其核苷，胞嘧啶及其核苷的反应，主要有二种形式：其一，·OH加合到嘧啶环的C_5－C_6双键上，形成C_5位或C_6位自由基；其二，·OH夺取C_5位上的H，开成C_5'位自由基。·OH不与胸腺核苷的糖单元发生反应，仅与其嘧啶环反应，形成Nu位和C_5位自基。γ射线辐照过程中，·OH与嘧啶碱基及其核苷的反应与H_2O_2体系中的情况类似。辐照剂量则对反应的影响较大，低于1.0 * 10~4 rad，不发生反应；1.0 * 10~6 rad，则发生交联反应，只有1.0 * 10~5 rad的辐照剂量比较适宜。

典型PPCPs的生态毒理效应与强化处理技术

人类长期且大量的使用药品及个人护理用品（PPCPs），使其持续不断地输入环境，导致它们在环境中的残留浓度日益增加，并对人类和其他生物产生了不良的生态毒理效应。本文以四种典型PPCPs（对乙酰氨基酚、土霉素、三氯生、佳乐麝香）为研究对象，采用常规的毒理学实验方法，研究了它们对小麦种子发芽、根伸长的急性毒性，以及低浓度长期暴露对小麦幼苗叶绿素（CHL）、可溶性蛋白（SP）、过氧化物酶（POD）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）等生理生化特性的影响。由于PPCPs具有生态风险性，而传统的水处理工艺却不能有效的将这些物质去除。因此，开发更多的新技术以强化处理PPCPs，使它们在环境中残留的浓度尽可能降低是一项很重要的工作。本研究以零价铁处理有机物的原理为依据，自制铁铜双金属复合物，研究了其对PPCPs溶液的处理效果及影响因素，并对整个过程中的反应机理进行了初探。实验结果表明： 实验浓度下，四种PPCPs与小麦根长及芽长抑制率之间具有良好的剂量-效应关系。根据线性回归方程计算的EC50可知，不同种类的PPCPs对小麦种子发芽的毒性大小不同，而且小麦的芽及根部对不同PPCPs胁迫的敏感部位不同。对乙酰氨基酚、土霉素、三氯生对小麦根长的抑制较芽长显著，它们的EC50分别为668.8 mg/L、34.7 mg/L和147.8mg/L；而佳乐麝香对小麦芽长的抑制更为显著，EC50为143.4 mg/L。实验浓度范围内，四种PPCPs对小麦种子的发芽率均没有显著的抑制作用。四种PPCPs暴露21天后，2.8～22.4 mg/L对乙酰氨基酚、0.15～2.4 mg/L土霉素以及0.2～3.0 mg/L三氯生和佳乐麝香显著抑制小麦叶片/根部中的CHL和SP，而且使POD和SOD酶活性降低或上升，从而打破抗氧化系统的动态平衡；暴露21天内对CHL、SP、POD和SOD等含量在不同PPCPs胁迫下的变化趋势具有各自的特点。 以零价铁降解有机物的原理为依据，自制了铁铜双金属复合体系，以强化处理PPCPs溶液。电子扫描显微镜（SEM）及X-衍射（XRD）分析得出铁铜复合物（FeCu/Cu2O）由Fe、Cu及Cu2O组成。与零价铁相比，FeCu/Cu2O显著提高了对PPCPs的去除效果，主要是由于Cu的存在扩大了反应的电极电位差，即增加了Fe-Cu之间的外加阳极电流，从而加速Fe的阳极溶解，产生更多的高活性物质以更好的去除PPCPs。溶解氧是影响FeCu/Cu2O对PPCPs处理效果的重要因素，它们可以在FeCu/Cu2O表面获得电子后生成O2-，形成类Fenton体系。此外，由于Cu2O的光化学活性，光照也可以强化FeCu/Cu2O对PPCPs的处理效果。不同的反应条件下体系内的pH值及自由基的产生量不同。根据实验现象及相关的经典理论，本文对FeCu/Cu2O处理PPCPs的作用机理进行了初探，认为整个反应过程包括Fe的还原反应、Cu2O的光催化反应、Fe-Cu微电解反应以及絮凝过程等。

Sulfonated poly(arylene-co-naphthalimide)s synthesized by copolymerization of primarily sulfonated monomer and fluorinated naphthalimide dichlorides as novel polymers for proton exchange membranes

A novel sulfonated aromatic dichloride monomer was successfully prepared by the reaction of 2, 5-dichlorobenzophenone with fuming sulfuric acid. Copolymerization of this monomer in the form of sodium salt (1) with N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-chloro-1,8-naphthalimide (2) or bis(N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)1,4,5,8-naphthalimide (3) generated two series of novel poly(arylene-co-naphthalimide) s I-x and II-x where x represents the content of the sulfonated monomer. The synthesized copolymers with the -SO3H group in the side chains possessed high molecular weights revealed by their high viscosity and the formation of tough and flexible membranes. The copolymers exhibited excellent stability toward water and oxidation due to the introduction of the hydrophobic CF3 groups. The sulfonated copolyimides that incorporated with 1,8-naphthalimide (I-x) exhibited better hydrolytic and oxidative stabilities than those with 1,4,5,8-naphthalimide. Copolymer I-50 membrane endured for more than 83 h in Fenton's reagent at room temperature. The mechanical properties of I-50 membrane kept almost unchanged after immersing membrane in boiling water for 196 h. The proton conductivities of copolymer films increased with increasing IEC and temperature, reaching values above 6.8 x 10(-1) S/cm at 80 degrees C.

SeGPX activity of three organoselenium-containing cyclodextrins and their scavenging effects on HO center dot

Three organoselenium-containing derivatives of beta-cyclodextrins (beta-CD), mono-6-benzylseleno-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (compound 1), 6,6'-trimethylenediseleno bridged beta-cyclodextrin dimer(compound 2) and 6,6'- (o-phenylene)diseleno bridged beta-cyclodextrin dimer (compound 3) functioned as mimics of selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase(SeGPX). Acting on H2O2 and GSH, the SeGPX activities of these compounds were 0.83-, 0.26-, and 1. 23-fold of that of Ebselen (0.99 U/mu mol), respectively. The relationship between the structure and the function of these compounds was studied. The results suggested that the hydrophobicity and rigidity of phenyl group is the main reason that accounted for the higher activity of compounds 3 and 1. Phenyl group not only provided the hydrophobic circumstance which is necessary for the catalytic function of selenium, but also make it possible that the cyclodextrin unit of compounds 1 and 3 combines the substrate with a more effective direction. Fluorometric techniques were utilized to determine the yields of the hydroxyl radical produced by Fenton reactions through the formation of hydroxy benzoic acids from benzoate. Compared with Ebselen which showed a significant inhibition effect on the formation of HO., these organoselenium-containing cyclodextrins showed a little scavenging effect on the formation of HO. throughout the whole process.

Product monitoring and quantitation of oligosaccharides composition in agar hydrolysates by precolumn labeling HPLC

Since the discovery of multiple bioactivities for agarobiose oligomers, a quantitative method has been in great need to monitor the agarobiose oligomers. This report demonstrates that agarobiose oligomers can be separated with high resolution in HPLC after introducing a-naphthylamine into compounds. Agarobiose oligomers ranged from biose to decaose were isolated by Sephadex column. HPLC analysis indicated that each oliomer could be quantified with good linearity and a low detection limit of 0.1-4 mug/ml. The chromatographic profiles of agaro-oligosaccharides with different hydrolysis modes (hydrochloride, citric acid, solid acid, and hydroxyl radical degradation) showed that agarobiose could be obtained more than 57.8% using solid acid mediated hydrolysis, while hydrochloride acid could degrade agar into a series of agaro-oligosaccharides from biose to decaose. The yield of oligosaccharides was low if hydrolyzed by citric acid. The Fenton degradation can increase the speed of hydrolysis, but the product was complex. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

羟基自由基降解琼胶及其产物的活性研究

琼胶是一种从石花菜等红藻中提取的，目前生产工艺和结构等方面研究比较成熟的海藻多糖，广泛应用于医药、仪器等行业。但是，海藻多糖因为具有分子量大，粘度大，溶解度较小的等特点，而使其应用范围受到限制。利用降解的手段对其进行修饰，降低分子量和粘度，改善溶解性，可以拓展其应用范围。并且根据文献报道，琼 胶寡糖具有一些特殊的生物活性，如抗氧化性，抗炎症等。因此，对琼胶降解的研究具有生要意义。本研究中，为了选择一种合适的降解方法，进行了几种水解方法的尝试，其中包括在不同湿度和酸度下盐酸水解，过氧化氢和醋酸催化水解，Fenton体系羟基自由基降解。对于酸水解和Fenton体系氧化还原降解方法，通过粘度法对反应的速度进行了比较，表明氧化还原降解反应中琼胶的粘度降低比较快，并且具有代表性和新意，确定为本实验的降解琼胶的方法并对氧化还原降解所得的产物进行了活性实验。通过模仿自然界普遍存在的氧化还原降解反应，利用Vc诱导的Fenton体系产生的羟基自由基氧化还原降解琼胶得到低分子量的琼胶。降解产物经过高速离心、60％乙醇沉淀，除去分子量比较大的降解产物和磷酸盐，得到可溶于60％乙醇的分子量估计小于3000的降争产物，其产率为85％。利用经Sephadex-G25凝胶色谱分离所香的不同分子量的级分进行分子量和α－葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性关系的实验。降解产物对α－葡萄糖苷酶的抑制率和各级分的浓度呈线性正相关，并且各级分的IC_(50)则随着分子量的降低而降低。另外，对所得的降解产物混合物进行了红外吸收光谱、质子去偶核磁共震碳谱和负离子基质辅助激光诱导－飞行时间质谱结构分析。结果表明，氧化还原降解反应的专一性差，在得到寡糖的同时，在光谱图中出现一些比较复杂的副产物的结构信息。最后，根据MTT法的原理，以有体皮肤成纤维细胞为材料，通过紫外线辐射产生自由基造成氧化损伤，研究降解产物对成纤维细胞的保护作用。当无紫外线辐射时，降解产物对成纤维细胞具有显著的促进生长增殖作用：当经UVa、UBb辐射时则可以显著地表现出对损伤的保护作用，并且这种促进生长和保护作用呈显著的量效关系，表明降解产物具有清除基自由基的作用。但是，因为氧化还原降解以应的机理尚不十分明的以及琼羟胶的特殊结构，使得反应的副产物很难预测，也就使得分离工作难以进行，所以，根据目前所得的信息，尚不能确定是降解产物的什么级分产生的以上两种生物活性。
