A metal-OH group modification strategy to prepare highly-hydrophobic MIL-53-Al for efficient acetone capture under humid conditions

A series of highly-hydrophobic MIL-53-Al (MIL = Materials of Institut Lavoisier) frameworks synthesized via decoration of the Al-OH groups by alkyl phosphonic acid were developed as adsorbents for removing acetone from humid gas streams. The newly prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N₂ adsorption-desorption and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Their adsorption behaviors toward acetone vapor under dry and wet conditions were studied subsequently. Results showed that alkyl phosphonic acid was successfully grafted into MIL-53-Al skeleton through coordinating interaction with Al³⁺ generating [email protected]_x (x = 12, 14, 18). The [email protected]_x exhibited similar crystal structure and thermal stability to parent MIL-53-Al. Furthermore, the modified materials showed significantly enhanced hydrophobicity. The water vapor uptake of [email protected]₁₄ decreased by 72.55% at 75% relative humidity (RH). Dynamic adsorption experiments demonstrated that water vapor had almost no effect on the acetone adsorption performance of [email protected]₁₄. Under the condition of 90% RH, the acetone adsorption capacity of [email protected]₁₄ was 102.98% higher than that of MIL-53-Al. Notably, [email protected]₁₄ presented excellent adsorption reversibility and regeneration performance in 10 adsorption-desorption cycles. Taken together, the strategy of metal-OH group modification is an attractive way to improve the acetone adsorption performance over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) under humid conditions. Besides, [email protected]₁₄ would be deemed as a promising candidate for capturing acetone in high moisture environment.     

低剂量微囊藻毒素亚急性肝毒性及其机理

为了研究低剂量微囊藻毒素 (MC)的亚急性肝毒性及其作用机理 ,将SD大鼠随机分为 4组 ,每组雌雄各 1 0只 ,分别经腹腔注射MC 0 ,4,8,1 2 μg·(kg·d) - 1,3 5天后观察各组大鼠血清酶学和肝脏病理学变化 .用原位末端标记法 (TUNEL)观察肝细胞凋亡 ,并用ABC免疫组化技术检测肝脏增殖细胞核抗原 (PCNA) .结果表明染毒组大鼠血清γ 谷氨酰转移酶 (GGT)活力和全血谷胱甘肽 (GSH)浓度下降 ,血清乳酸脱氢酶 (LDH)和谷草转氨酶(AST)升高 ,谷丙转氨酶 (ALT)未见显著变化 .染毒组大鼠肝脏出现特征性的形态学变化 ,并有活跃的肝细胞凋亡和增生并存的现象 .说明微囊藻毒素引起的氧化损伤和肝细胞凋亡可能是其致肝脏毒性的原因

政和—大埔断裂带基本特征及其演化模式

政和—大埔断裂带经历多期复杂的构造变形变质作用,不同地段的时空演化特征有所差异,总体上可划分为四个演化阶段。即:①前加里东期(?)—加里东期韧性剪切变形变质作用(D_1),发生于中、下地壳,是顺层剪切(固态流变)的结果,为纯韧性变形,②印支期韧性剪切变形变质作用(D_2)——政和—大埔断裂的形成,以平移型剪切为主,形成S——C糜棱岩,为半韧性变形环境;③印支末期—燕山早期逆冲—推覆作用(D_3),为多层次逆冲推覆,东部所谓的“天窗”部分为这一时期逆冲岩片的残留体,随着早燕山期花岗岩的侵入逐渐过渡到伸展拆离环境,同时西部推覆体后缘出现拉张,形成有限的火山岩盆地,为半脆性—脆性变形环境;④燕山期(—喜山期)伸展—拆离作用(D_4),在相对年轻的拆离断层之下出露变质核杂岩(如稻香组和熊山岩体),并形成裂陷盆地堆积(梨山组),东部部分“天窗”属这类成因,形成环境跨度大,为半韧性→半脆性→脆性。
