Kinetic study on the photo-catalytic degradation of pyridine in TiO2 suspension systems

It has been generally agreed that pyridine can be effectively mineralized in aerated TiO2 slurries using near-UV irradiation. The knowledge on the kinetics of the system possesses both practical and theoretical values. The present study, on the base of Langmuir-Hinshewood mechanism, illustrates a pseudo first-order kinetic model of the degradation with the limiting rate constant of 3.004 mg l(-1) min(-1) and equilibrium adsorption constant 2.763 x 10(-2) l mg(-1), respectively. The degradation efficiency in alkali is a little higher than that in acid with a minimum at about pH = 5, which is explained by the formation of acid-pyridine in acidic surrounding together with the amphoteric nature of the TiO2 surface. The promotion of H2O2 on the photo-degradation ties in its supplying proper amount of (OH)-O-. radicals for the inducement stage before surface redox reactions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

侵蚀环境撂荒地植被恢复与土壤质量的协同效应

探索黄土丘陵区退耕撂荒地植被恢复与土壤相关要素的关系,为生态恢复重建决策提供理论依据。【方法】以中国科学院安塞水土保持实验站墩山退耕不同年限的撂荒地为研究对象,通过植被群落特征调查和土壤质量测试分析等,运用相关和回归分析方法对植被恢复过程中植被与土壤质量的协同效应研究。【结果】在其恢复过程中,植被地上生物量与植被覆盖度呈正相关,它们与土壤容重呈负相关,而与土壤大团聚体、水稳性大团聚体、有机质含量、全氮含量、水解氮含量、速效钾含量、微生物量(C、N、P)以及土壤呼吸强度之间呈正相关,与土壤全磷、速效磷含量无显著相关性。同时,植被地上生物量和植被覆盖度与土壤抗蚀性关系密切,它们与表示土壤抗蚀性能的土壤团聚度、结构系数之间呈正相关,与土壤分散系数、结构体破坏率之间呈负相关。土壤容重与土壤大团聚体、水稳性团聚体含量之间呈负相关,土壤大团聚体含量与水稳性团聚体含量之间亦呈正相关。黄土丘陵区退耕撂荒地植被恢复过程中,土壤质量得到不断恢复提高,并能促进植被的生长繁衍,推动植被恢复演替进展,植被恢复健康和演替的同时,亦进一步推动土壤质量的改善提高,二者之间表现为正向互作效应。

塔干南缘骆驼刺植被水分关系的研究(英文)

对塔克拉玛干沙漠———绿洲过渡带骆驼刺 (AlhagisparsifoliaShap .)水分关系的研究表明 :骆驼刺在夏季保持了正的膨压 ,一直较高较稳定的清晨水势说明植物水分恢复状况良好 ,植物得到了较好的水分供应 ;在 7月 ,干旱胁迫造成的水分亏缺并未影响植株正常的蒸腾作用 ,因而干旱引起的水分胁迫并未威胁到植被的存在。骆驼刺对干旱胁迫的水分生理适应主要体现在叶水平上 ,表现为饱和枝条的渗透势 (Πo)和膨压消失点的渗透势 (Πp)的差值 (ΔΠ)和相对含水量 (RWC)在膨压消失点间更大的变化、渗透调节的产生、较高较稳定的饱和枝条水分与干物质之比 (WCsat)和膨压消失点的相对含水量 (RWCp) ,以及较低的共质体水在总水分中的相对含量 (RWCsym)。但形态学上的特征 ,主要表现为深而发达的根系和蒸腾面积的减少 ,才是骆驼刺适应极端干旱环境的主要途径。非定期的夏季一次性灌溉对地下水位很低地区的骆驼刺植被水分状况的恢复没有帮助。

蓝光萘酰亚胺发光材料的合成与表征

通过在4位引入不同芳香基团,采用Suzuki和Stille偶联反应,设计与合成了一系列新型1,8-萘酰亚胺类荧光染料,并研究了它们的紫外-可见吸收、荧光发射和电化学行为等光物理性质。这些化合物在甲苯中均发射蓝色荧光,最大吸收和荧光发射峰分别在357～378和423～451nm之间,且随着芳香基团供电性增强,吸收和荧光发射波长发生红移。芳香基团的结构对化合物的发光效率影响很大,其中,取代基为甲氧基苯的化合物具有最高的荧光量子效率,可达0.98,而取代基为噻吩的化合物荧光量子效率最低,只有0.17。电化学循环伏安研究表明该类化合物具有较高的电子亲合力,不同芳香基团的引入只影响化合物的被占分子轨道(HOMO)能级,而对化合物的最低空分子轨道(LUMO)能级没有影响,即LUMO能级由1,8-萘酰亚胺单元决定。

In situ synthesis and characterization of multiwalled carbon nanotube/Au nanoparticle composite materials

An effective and facile in Situ reduction approach for the fabrication of carbon nanotube-supported Au nanoparticle (CNT/Au NP) composite nanomaterials is demonstrated in this article. Linear polyethyleneimine (PEI) is ingeniously used as both a functionalizing agent for the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and a reducing agent for the formation of An NPs. This method involves a simple mixing process followed by a mild heating process. This approach does not need the exhaustive surface oxidation process of CNTs. The coverage of Au NPs on CNTs is tunable by varying the experimental parameters, such as the initial molar ratio of PEI to HAuCl4, the relative concentration of PEI and HAUCl(4) to MWNTs, and the temperature and duration of the heat treatment. More importantly, even the heterogeneous CNT/Au composite nanowires are obtainable through this method. TEM, XPS, and XRD are all used to characterize the CNT/Au composite materials. In addition, the optical and electrocatalytic properties are investigated.

Voltammetric Behavior of ethambutol on a glassy carbon electrode and its application

The anodic voltammetric behavior of ethambutol in the presence of various electrolytes was studied by direct-current voltammetry, differential-pluse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. In a medium of 0.039 mol/L Na2HPO4, an oxidative peak of ethambutol was obtained. The peak potential is at about 1.04 V( vs. Ag/AgCl). The height of the peak is linearly increased with the concentration of ethambutol over the range of 3 mg/Lsimilar to1000 mg/L. The method has been used for the direct determination of ethambutol in tablets. The average recovery of ethambutol in urine samples is 84.7%. Experimental results proved that the electrode reaction was diffusion controlled and irreversible.

Electrochemiluminescence of tris(2,2 '-bipyridyl)ruthenium (II) ion-exchanged in polyelectrolyte-silica composite thin-films

The organic-inorganic hybrid, PSS-silica composite material was developed for the immobilization of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) on glassy carbon electrode via ion-exchange (PSS stands for poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate)). The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and electrochemistry of Ru(bpy)(3)(2-) immobilized in the composite thin films have been investigated with tripropylamine (TPA) as the coreactant. The immobilized Ru(bpy)(3)(2-) underwent a surface process. The modified electrode was used for the ECL detection of TPA and showed high sensitivity. Detection limit was 0,1 mumol L-1 for TPA (S/N = 3) with a linear range from 0.5 mumol L-1 to 5 mmol L-1 (R = 0.998), Moreover, the resulting modified electrode was stable over six months and the good stability may be due to the strong interaction between Ru(bpy)(3)(2-) and the high ion-exchange able PSS-silica composite films on GCE. Compared with other materials. the PSS-silica composite films containing incorporated Ru(bpy)(3)(2-) showed improved sensitivity and long-term stability, Thus, such composite thin film can be a promising material for the construction of ECL sensor.
