硅酸聚合过程中粘度变化的研究

在制备聚硅酸盐类混凝剂的过程中,聚硅酸的粘度是影响聚硅酸盐类混凝剂混凝效能的重要因素。以水玻璃为原料,硫酸、盐酸为酸化剂,采用酸性条件下制备聚硅酸的方法,研究pH值、二氧化硅浓度、温度、不同酸化剂等因素对硅酸聚合过程中粘度变化的影响,结果表明：粘度达到0.006 Pa.S前变化缓慢,粘度达到0.009 Pa.S后变化迅速,0.020 Pa.S以后在极短的时间内粘度急剧增大而胶凝;通过混凝搅拌实验确定制备聚硅酸铝混凝剂时聚硅酸粘度的最佳值,以此最佳值作为控制聚硅酸最佳聚合程度的指标。     

Heavy metals in maternal and cord blood in Beijing and their efficiency of placental transfer

This study aimed to determine the effect of exposure to heavy metals in pregnant women in Beijing, China. We also evaluated the association of these heavy metals with birth weight and length of newborns. We measured the levels of 10 heavy metals,including lead(Pb), titanium(Ti), manganese(Mn), nickel(Ni), cadmium(Cd), chromium(Cr), antimony(Sb), stannum(Sn), vanadium(V), and arsenic(As), in 156 maternal and cord blood pairs. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method was used for measurement. Pb, As, Ti, Mn, and Sb showed high detection rates( 50%) in both maternal and cord blood. Fourteen(9%) mothers had blood Pb levels greater than the United States Center for Disease Control allowable threshold limit for children(50 μg/L).In prenatal exposure to these heavy metals, there was no significant association between any heavy metal and birth weight/length. Moreover, we estimated the placental transfer efficiency of each heavy metal, and the median placental transfer efficiency ranged from 49.6%(Ni) to 194%(Mn)(except for Cd and Sn). The level and detection rate of Cd in maternal blood were much higher than that in cord blood, which suggested that Cd had difficulty in passing the placental barrier. Prospective research should focus on the source and risk of heavy metals in non-occupationally exposed pregnant women in Beijing.     

太湖水草压榨液的IC处理实验研究

针对太湖水草压榨液高有机物浓度的特点,研究采用消化污泥与颗粒污泥的混合泥接种内循环厌氧反应器（IC）处理太湖水草压榨液。启动初期采取快速提升负荷至4 kg/(m3·d)并长期稳定在该负荷,这种启动方式有利于提高污泥的活性,加速污泥颗粒化。调试历时95 d,逐步提高进水负荷,研究发现IC的最大容积负荷可以达到18 kg/(m3·d),为了能够稳定运行IC反应器,降低容积负荷到15 kg/(m3·d),此时COD的去除率在85%以上。研究表明：运用压榨技术处理太湖水草为今后处理各类水草提供了更多的技术选择,使得处理太湖水草不用局限于固体废物领域,将水草进行压榨能够妥善处理打捞上来的太湖水草,实现水草的减量化。     

The storage mechanism difference between amorphous and anatase as supercapacitors

Although TiO2 nanotubes is a promising electrode as supercapacitors due to its high energy density, easy synthesis and chemical stability, there are draw backs such as low conductivity and capacitance. Many studies concentrated on improving its electrochemical performance itself but little attention was payed to the reason of capacitance differences caused by its different crystal structures. Herein, we prepare amorphous and anatase TiO2 nanotubes and hydrogenated them by a simple electrochemical hydrogenation method to improve their conductivity and capacitance. And then study and compare their morphology and structure differences by SEM, TEM, XRD and BET. The results show that the pore size distribution, internal structure order and internal carrier concentration are the main reasons for their electrochemical performance differences. The microporous structure less than 2 nm in amorphous nanotubes act as a trap of electrolyte ions at current density larger than 0.1μA cm-2, leading to small charge and discharge capacitance. The long-range ordered crystal structure of anatase is more favorable for the orderly diffusion of carriers, reducing the inelastic scattering of carrier diffusion process and the electron hole-complexing probability, making anatase nanotubes exhibit higher coulomb efficiency and cycle stability than that of amorphous ones.     

Deoxynivalenol impairs proliferation and induces apoptosis in primary murine osteoblasts

The effects of deoxynivalenol in different dose including 100, 200, 500, 1000, and 1500 µg/L on primary cranial osteoblasts from fetal mice were investigated. Fluorescence staining, flow cytometric measurement, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol 2-y1)-3,5-di-phenyltetrazolium bromide assay, quantitative PCR, and Western blot were used for the test. Mineralization and proliferation of osteoblasts decreased upon 100 µg/L and higher deoxynivalenol treatment and apoptosis of osteoblasts was increased upon 500, 1000, and 1500 µg/L deoxynivalenol treatment. Karyopyknosis, membrane breakage, and a decreased number of calcium nodes were also observed upon 500 µg/L deoxynivalenol treatment. The mRNA and protein levels of B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein were upregulated, B-cell lymphoma-2 protein downregulated with increasing concentrations of deoxynivalenol treatment and their ratio increased. Deoxynivalenol induces apoptosis of osteoblasts, suggesting a mechanism by which deoxynivalenol can affect murine skeletal development.

Spectroscopic characterization and photochemistry of the Criegee intermediate CF3C(H)OO

Criegee intermediates (CIs), also known as carbonyl oxide, are reactive intermediates that play an important role in the atmospheric chemistry. Investigation on the structures and reactivity of CIs is of fundamental importance in understanding the underlying mechanism of their atmospheric reactions. In sharp contrast to the intensively studied parent molecule (CH₂OO) and the alkyl-substituted derivatives, the knowledge about the fluorinated analogue CF₃C(H)OO is scarce. By carefully heating the triplet carbene CF₃CH in an O₂-doped Ar-matrix to 35 K, the elusive carbonyl oxide CF₃C(H)OO in syn- and anti-conformations has been generated and characterized with infrared (IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic identification is supported by ¹⁸O-labeling experiments and quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) and MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) levels. Upon the long-wavelength irradiation (λ > 680 nm), both conformers of CF₃C(H)OO decompose to give trifluoroacetaldehyde CF₃C(H)O and simultaneously rearrange to the isomeric dioxirane, cyclic-CF₃CH(OO), which undergoes isomerization to the lowest-energy carboxylic acid CF₃C(O)OH upon UV-light excitation at 365 nm. The O₂-oxidation of CF₃CH via the intermediacy of CF₃C(H)OO and cyclic-CF₃CH(OO) might provide new insight into the mechanism for the degradation of hydro-chlorofluorocarbon CF₃CHCl₂ (HCFC-123) in the atmosphere.
