Chemical Valorization of Forest and Agricultural By-Products. Obtention,Chemical Characteristics,and Mechanical Behavior of a Novel Family of Hydrophobic Films

Abstract

Esterification of hemicelluloses of the xylan family was performed in order to produce hydrophobic films. Acylation reactions were carried out with lauroyl chloride in the N,N-dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride homogeneous system using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as activator and were induced by microwave irradiation. In the experimental conditions used, 108 and 172% mass ratios were obtained for the dodecyl-grafted xylan and heteroxylan, respectively. The degrees of substitution (DS) were 1.3 (maximum 2) for xylan and 1.2 (maximum 2.1) for heteroxylan. These products were further characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The mechanical and thermomechanical behavior of this new family of hydrophobic films were analyzed and compared to those obtained from cellulose with a similar DS by the means of tensile tests. Our results indicate that the dodecyl-grafted xylan film presents the best rigidity—resistance to traction ratio.

基于梯度塑性理论的岩石等间距破坏分析

等间距断裂属应变局部化范畴,这是传统的宏观连续介质理论无法预测和解释的。应变梯度理论是传统塑性理论的推广和完善,本文在屈服函数中引用应变梯度项分析了岩石等间距破坏问题。首先建立了平面应力状态下应变梯度塑性理论模型,通过解析岩样边界在水平压应力作用下的塑性应变场,得出其曲面的分布具有等间距规律,其网络的分布格局及幅值大小受岩样尺度、边界应力、降模量等多种因素的影响。这一结论不仅与一些文献结果相吻合,而且说明用梯度塑性理论能够近似描述等间距现象。本文对深入研究等间距断裂提供了一个新思路。

Extruded Cornstarch-Glycerol-Polyvinyl Alcohol Blends: Mechanical Properties, Morphology, and Biodegradability

Elongation properties of extruded cornstarch were improved by blending with glycerol. Further blending of starch-glycerol with polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resulted in significant improvements in both tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break. Samples of starch-glycerol without PVOH equilibrated at 50% relative humidity had a TS of 1.8 MPa and elongation of 113%, whereas those containing PVOH had a TS and elongation of 4 MPa and 150%, respectively. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of starch-glycerol-PVOH blends showed that decreases in glass transition temperatures (T _g values) were proportional to glycerol content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fractured surfaces revealed numerous cracks in starch-glycerol (80:20) samples. Cracks were absent in starch-glycerol (70:30) samples. In both blends, many starch granules were exposed at the surface. No exposed starch granules were visible in blends with added PVOH. Starch-glycerol samples incubated in compost lost up to 70% of their dry weight within 22 days. Addition of PVOH lowered both the rate and extent of biodegradation.

Distribution of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(ε-caprolactone)aerobic degrading microorganisms in different environments

To assess the capacity of the natural environment for degrading plastics, the populations of poly(-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB)-and poly(-caprolactone)(PCL)-degrading aerobic microorganisms and their ratios to the total number of microorganisms in soil samples were estimated by the plate count method with agar medium containing emulsified PHB or PCL. The numbers of the degrading microorganisms were determined by counting colonies that formed clear zones on the plate. It was found that PHB- and PCL-degrading (depolymerizing) microorganisms are distributed over many kinds of material, including landfill leachate, compost, sewage sludge, forest soil, farm soil, paddy soil, weed field soil, roadside sand, and pond sediment. Of total colony counts, the percentages of PHB and PCL degrading microorganisms were 0.2–11.4 and 0.8–11.0%, respectively. The results suggest that many kinds of degrading microorganisms are present in each environment and that specific consortia differing in biodegradation capacity are constructed.     

黑臭河流沉积物磷、铁、硫的DGT同步分析研究

沉积物中磷(P)、铁(Fe)、硫(S)之间存在密切的耦合关系,但大部分研究并未提供直接的原位证据,需要借助高分辨的获取技术才能表征.为了探索三者之间的耦合关系,本文利用Zr O-Ag I DGT和Chelex DGT对东莞市黑臭河流沉积物中有效态P、Fe、S进行了高分辨分析.结果表明:应用DGT技术能够获得黑臭河流沉积物中有效态P、Fe、S的高分辨率浓度分布,并且实验结果可靠,有效地避免了主动采样方法和沉积物空间异质性对P、Fe、S同步分析的影响.各采样点沉积物中有效态P、S在垂向上的空间分布趋势基本相似,部分采样点出现有效态P、Fe、S同步变化的现象,同步获得的微界面浓度分布较好地反映了三者的耦合关系.对P、Fe、S在水-沉积物界面附近的含量分布进行相关性分析,结果表明三者之间具有显著正相关(p0.05),进一步证实了黑臭河流沉积物中也存在P、Fe、S同步释放的现象.大部分样点沉积物-水界面有效态P、Fe、S的扩散通量为正值,表现为由沉积物向上覆水释放P、Fe、S.沉积物中P、Fe、S的耦合释放表明其对黑臭的形成和内源磷释放至关重要.
