以对羟基苯甲酸为原料,通过化学修饰合成得到上沿羧基化的杯[6]芳烃羟肟衍生物,即5,11,17,23,29,35-六羧基-37,38,39,40,41,42-六羟肟酸甲氧基杯[6]芳烃(HHMHC),采用IR对其结构性能进行表征,并探讨了溶液初始pH值、初始重金属离子(Cu2+、Ni2+)浓度、萃取时间、温度等因素对HHMHC萃取重金属离子的影响.结果表明,在温度为30℃时HHMHC萃取Ni2+和Cu2+的最佳pH值分别为5.0、6.0,萃取平衡时间均为30min.用准二级动力学模型(R2>0.99)和Freundlich等温模型(R2>0.999)均可较好的拟合其萃取过程,通过计算萃取过程的热力学参数,得到Gibbs自由能(ΔG0)和焓变(ΔH0)均小于0,表明萃取反应是一个自发的放热反应.通过红外光谱图分析和考察溶液pH值对萃取分配比的影响,探讨HHMHC萃取Cu2+、Ni2+的机理,结果表明此萃取过程除了存在阳离子交换机理外,还存在与冠醚萃取相同的离子配位萃取,参与配位作用的主要是羟肟基团(–CONHOH).     

Duration and characteristics of metal price cycles

This paper addresses the fluctuations in real metal prices: are they simply random variations or do they display some degree of cyclicality? This study identifies peaks and troughs in the inflation adjusted prices for 14 metals, using monthly average data from January 1947 through December 2007. Duration dependence testing, which is performed on the expansions, contractions, and full cycles, finds many cases in which the duration of these phases are not purely random and have some degree of cyclicality. Additional characterization show that contractions generally persist longer than expansions (in contrast to macroeconomic cycles) that long-term real prices have been trendless, and that the amplitude of price changes over the phases has little regularity. For those performing this type of analysis, the appendices explain the procedures for dating turning points and assessing duration dependence.     

有序介孔材料过滤脱除纳米颗粒物

多孔材料过滤去除环境纳米颗粒物(nanoparticles,NPs)是空气净化治理的重要方法之一.本文采用介孔分子筛(MCM-41、SBA-15)和有序介孔碳(CMK-3)这3种典型介孔材料对2~20 nm的NPs进行过滤脱除研究,旨在探索介孔材料在NPs过滤方面的应用可行性与相关理论基础.基于3种介孔材料的物理化学性质表征结果,通过本实验发现介孔材料孔道的最可几孔径以及一定量的介孔孔容是吸附NPs的关键,而微孔分布对去除NPs贡献不大.进一步对SBA-15在不同流量及不同颗粒床厚度下对NPs的去除进行了分析,发现纳米颗粒物的最易穿透粒径(most penetrating particle size,MPPS)随着流量的增大而减小,同时MPPS颗粒物的去除效率随之降低,且MPPS基本不受颗粒床厚度变化的影响.本研究为介孔材料过滤脱除NPs提供了技术依据.     

Fe-MCM-41催化臭氧氧化间甲酚废水

首次应用Fe-MCM-41催化臭氧氧化间甲酚废水.研究了铁的掺杂质量分数、催化剂质量浓度和底物质量浓度对间甲酚转化率和TOC去除率的影响,并采用XRD、H2-TPR、穆斯堡尔谱、BET对催化剂的结构性质进行表征.结果表明,铁的掺杂质量分数对Fe-MCM-41在催化臭氧氧化间甲酚中的活性具有较大影响,最佳掺杂质量分数为4.4%.随着铁掺杂质量分数的提高,介孔分子筛的结晶度减弱,介孔结构晶面间距减小,比表面积、孔容、平均孔径整体上呈下降趋势,Fe在介孔分子筛表面仅以γ-Fe2O3形式存在,且催化剂具有良好的铁磁性和稳定性.臭氧在反应中既有直接氧化作用也有间接氧化作用,且二者比近似为1∶1.在模型废水原始p H值条件下,使用Fe掺杂质量分数为4.4%的催化剂,当间甲酚初始质量浓度为500mg·L-1,催化剂质量浓度为0.1 g·L-1时,30 min内间甲酚转化率为100%,TOC去除率为26.8%.     

Effect of hybridization with genome exclusion on extinction risk

Human‐induced habitat changes may lead to the breakdown of reproductive barriers between distantly related species. This phenomenon may result in fertile first‐generation hybrids (F₁) that exclude the genome of one parental species during gametogenesis, thus disabling introgression. The species extinction risk associated with hybridization with genome exclusion is largely underappreciated because the phenomenon produces only F₁ hybrid phenotype, leading to the misconception that hybrids are sterile and potentially of minor conservation concern. We used a simulation model that integrates the main genetic, demographic, and ecological processes to examine the dynamics of hybridization with genome exclusion. We showed that this mode of hybridization may lead to extremely rapid extinction when the process of genome exclusion is unbalanced between the interbreeding species and when the hybridization rate is not negligible. The coexistence of parental species was possible in some cases of asymmetrical genome exclusion, but show this equilibrium was highly vulnerable to environmental variation. Expanding the exclusive habitat of the species at risk allowed its persistence. Our results highlight the extent of possible extinction risk due to hybridization with genome exclusion and suggest habitat management as a promising conservation strategy. In anticipation of serious threats to biodiversity due to hybridization with genome exclusion, we recommend a detailed assessment of the reproductive status of hybrids in conservation programs. We suggest such assessments include the inspection of genetic content in hybrid gametes.

Highly siliceous MCM-48 from rice husk ash for CO2 adsorption

Mesoporous MCM-48 silica was synthesized using a cationic-neutral surfactant mixture as the structure-directing template and rice husk ash (RHA) as the silica source. The MCM-48 samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N₂ physisorption and SEM. X-ray diffraction pattern of the resulting MCM-48 revealed typical pattern of cubic Ia3d mesophase. BET results showed the MCM-48 to have a surface area of 1024 m²/g and FT-IR revealed a silanol functional group at about 3460 cm⁻¹. Breakthrough experiments in the presence of MCM-48 were also carried out to test the material's CO₂ adsorption capacity. The breakthrough time for CO₂ was found to decrease as the temperature increased from 298 K to 348 K. The steep slopes observed shows the CO₂ adsorption occurred very quickly, with only a minimal mass transfer effect and very fast kinetics. In addition, amine grafted MCM-48, APTS-MCM-48 (RHA), was prepared with the 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) to investigate the effect of amine functional group in CO₂ separation. An order of magnitude higher CO₂ adsorption capacity was obtained in the presence of APTS-MCM-48 (RHA) compared to that with MCM-48 (RHA). These results suggest that MCM-48 synthesized from rice husk ash could be usefully applied for CO₂ removal.

Incorporating fragmentation and non‐native species into distribution models to inform fluvial fish conservation

Fluvial fishes face increased imperilment from anthropogenic activities, but the specific factors contributing most to range declines are often poorly understood. For example, the range of the fluvial‐specialist shoal bass (Micropterus cataractae) continues to decrease, yet how perceived threats have contributed to range loss is largely unknown. We used species distribution models to determine which factors contributed most to shoal bass range loss. We estimated a potential distribution based on natural abiotic factors and a series of currently occupied distributions that incorporated variables characterizing land cover, non‐native species, and river fragmentation intensity (no fragmentation, dams only, and dams and large impoundments). We allowed interspecific relationships between non‐native congeners and shoal bass to vary across fragmentation intensities. Results from the potential distribution model estimated shoal bass presence throughout much of their native basin, whereas models of currently occupied distribution showed that range loss increased as fragmentation intensified. Response curves from models of currently occupied distribution indicated a potential interaction between fragmentation intensity and the relationship between shoal bass and non‐native congeners, wherein non‐natives may be favored at the highest fragmentation intensity. Response curves also suggested that >100 km of interconnected, free‐flowing stream fragments were necessary to support shoal bass presence. Model evaluation, including an independent validation, suggested that models had favorable predictive and discriminative abilities. Similar approaches that use readily available, diverse, geospatial data sets may deliver insights into the biology and conservation needs of other fluvial species facing similar threats.
