Inactivation of bacteria G(+)-S. aureus and G(-)-E. coli by phototoxic polythiophene incorporated in ZSM-5 zeolite

A new heterogeneous photocatalyst was prepared by oxidative polymerization of the thiophene with ferric chloride in the ZSM-5 zeolite type. The synthesized polythiophene absorbs radiation in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and by illumination with visible light generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in water medium. During illumination reactive hydroxyl radical was detected by the spin trapping EPR method. Efficiency of the photocatalyst was tested on the killing of Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli.     

The three-dimensional structure of 3, 3', 5'-trichloro-4-methoxybiphenyl, a "coplanar" polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) derivative

The crystal structure of a "coplanar" polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) derivative, 4-methoxy-3, 3', 5'-trichlorobiphenyl (C13H9Cl3O), is described. The torsion angle of the title compound is 41.31(07) degrees, which is in good agreement with the calculated torsion angle of 38.2 degrees in aqueous solution.     

Metabolic fate of dichloromethyl-O,O-diphenyl phosphonate (I) and dichloromethyl-O,O-Di-(p-nitrophenyl) phosphonate (II) in/on rice plants.

Metabolic fate of two dichloromethyl diaryl phosphonates (32P labelled) in/on rice plants was investigated. The test compounds were found to be less persistent on the surface of rice leaves with half lives 7.4 and 6.7 days respectively. Main degradation product from both the phosphonates were dichloromethyl phosphonic acid with trace of dichloromethyl-O-aryl phosphonate as a transitory intermediate product.     

Sn(Ⅳ)掺杂纳米TiO2/AC降解橙黄G的动力学与机理研究

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了掺杂Sn(Ⅳ)的TiO2/AC光催化剂,以生物染料橙黄G为目标降解物,研究了多相光催化降解橙黄G的动力学规律.研究表明,该反应符合Langmuir-Hinshelwood动力学方程,速控步为吸附反应.同时,利用GC/MS联用仪探讨了橙黄的中间产物及其降解机理:橙黄G在强氧化性自由基·OH、·OOH、·O2-的作用下逐渐分解氧化为小分子有机醛、酮、酸,最后转化为CO2、NH4 、NO3-、NO2-、SO42-和H2O等无机小分子.
