Preparation and characterization of copper catalysts supported on mesoporous Al2O3 nanofibers for N2O reduction to N2

A series of mesoporous Al2O3 samples with different porous structures and phases were prepared and used as supports for Cu/Al2O3 catalysts. These catalysts were characterized by N-2 adsorption, NMR, TGA, XRD, and UV - vis spectroscopic techniques and tested for the catalytic reaction of N2O decomposition. The activity increased with the increasing calcination temperatures of supports from 450 to 900 degreesC; however, a further increase in calcination temperature up to 1200 degreesC resulted in a significant reduction in activity. Characterization revealed that the calcination temperatures of supports influenced the porous structures and phases of the supports, which in turn affected the dispersions, phases, and activities of the impregnated copper catalyst. The different roles of surface spinel, bulk CuAl2O4, and bulk CuO is clarified for N2O catalytic decomposition. Two mechanism schemes were thus proposed to account for the varying activities of different catalysts.

Discrepancy between antennal and behavioural responses for enantiomers of -pinene: electrophysiology and behavior of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera)

The ability of adult cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner), to distinguish and respond to enantiomers of alpha-pinene was investigated with electrophysiological and behavioral methods. Electroantennogram recordings using mixtures of the enantiomers at saturating dose levels, and single unit electrophysiology, indicated that the two forms were detected by the same receptor neurons. The relative size of the electroantennogram response was higher for the (-) compared to the (+) form, indicating greater affinity for the (-) form at the level of the dendrites. Behavioral assays investigated the ability of moths to discriminate between, and respond to the (+) and (-) forms of alpha-pinene. Moths with no odor conditioning showed an innate preference for (+)-alpha-pinene. This preference displayed by naive moths was not significantly different from the preferences of moths conditioned on (+)-alpha-pinene. However, we found a significant difference in preference between moths conditioned on the (-) enantiomer compared to naive moths and moths conditioned on (+)-alpha-pinene, showing that learning plays an important role in the behavioral response. Moths are less able to distinguish between enantiomers of alpha-pinene than different odors (e.g., phenylacetaldehyde versus (-)-alpha-pinene) in learning experiments. The relevance of receptor discrimination of enantiomers and learning ability of the moths in host plant choice is discussed.
