Control of molecular weight distribution of the biopolymer pullulan produced byAureobasidium pullulans

The influence of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate source, along with concentration, was determined for effect on the weight average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and yield of pullulan produced byAureobasidium pullulans NRRL-Y 6220. Batch systems, scale-up batch, and continuous fermentations of 1 L and 10 L were also evaluated as were processing variables, including solvents, and extraction conditions. Products with weight average molecular weight from 1.0 × 10⁵ to 4.0 × 10⁶ were produced in 100-g quantities by varying fermentation conditions such as constituents of the culture medium, pH, and length of incubation. Three sets of culture conditions were defined for the formation of low (<5.0×10⁵), medium (1.0–2.0×10⁶), and high (>2.0×10⁶) weight average molecular weight polymer. These defined molecular weight fractions of pullulan were used in further studies in producing films and fibers.     

A biotechnological agenda for the third world

Third World countries should exploit the genetic information stored in their flora and fauna to develop independent and highly competitive biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. The necessary condition for this policy to succeed is the reshaping of their universities and hospitals—to turn them into high-caliber research institutions dedicated to the creation of original knowledge and biomedical invention. Part of the service of the Third World foreign debt should be co-invested with the lending banks in high technology enterprises. This should be complemented with an active program of investments in First World biotech companies and university research departments which could contribute to the solving of problems connected with the First World. These strategic alliances would allow effective training of molecular biologists, improvement of South American universities, and education of biotechnologists, managers, and lawyers in the complexities of high-technology business. The establishment of real joint ventures between developed and underdeveloped countries might contribute to change the present strained relations between the North and the South, and science and technology could become real forces of social and economic development.

高锰酸盐复合剂强化混凝对水中天然有机物的去除机制研究

利用流动电流、絮凝脉动颗粒检测技术、分子量分布及XAD树脂分类技术对高锰酸盐复合剂强化混凝去除水中天然有机物的机制进行了研究.结果表明,高锰酸盐复合剂提高了硫酸铝的混凝效果,投加0.75 mg/L高锰酸盐复合剂后,较单独投加硫酸铝对天然有机物的去除率可提高13个百分点.流动电流(SC)检测结果表明,高锰酸盐复合剂使有机物表面所带的负电性减弱,稳定性降低.如单独投加60 mg/L硫酸铝时SC值为55.2,而投加0.50、 0.75和1.0 mg/L的高锰酸盐复合剂预氧化处理后,SC值分别升高至61.4、 69.6和87.0.投加高锰酸盐复合剂后,絮凝指数增加,表明高锰酸盐复合剂及反应过程中生成的新生态水合二氧化锰对混凝起到了强化作用.分子质量分布及XAD树脂分类结果表明,高锰酸盐复合剂提高了混凝过程对小分子质量和亲水性有机物的去除能力,如硫酸铝混凝后亲水性有机物的含量为1.90 mg/L,而投加高锰酸盐复合剂后,可使其含量降至1.32 mg/L.     

城市污水二级出水有机物分子量分布和亲疏水特性对纳滤膜污染的影响

分别采用分子量分级膜和XAD-8树脂,研究了污水厂二级出水中有机物分子量分布特征及不同分子量分布区间亲疏水有机物的相对含量,考察了分子量分布及亲疏水特性对纳滤膜透水性能的影响.结果表明,二级出水有机物中,小分子亲水性有机物含量最高,小于2k的有机物占总有机物含量的45.61%,其中亲水性物质占28.07%,疏水性物质占17.54%;不同特征的原水分别经纳滤膜过滤,分子量分布对膜污染影响较大,分子量小于30k时,分子量区间越小,比通量衰减越快,分子量大于30k时,分子量区间越大,比通量衰减越快,且分子量较小的有机物通量衰减程度大于分子量较大有机物;在分子量分布相同区间内,亲水性有机物的比通量衰减较慢,说明相同分子量时,膜对亲水性物质的截留率较低,而疏水性物质是引起膜通量衰减的主要原因.

O3/TiO2催化氧化工艺对饮用水中AOC的影响

以陶粒、硅胶和沸石为载体,分别负载二氧化钛（TiO₂）进行臭氧催化氧化去除硝基苯的实验,并对饮用水中生物可同化有机碳（AOC）所代表的小分子有机物(酮、醛、醇和羧酸类物质)的生成情况进行了研究.发现臭氧催化氧化比单纯的臭氧氧化能更彻底地将部分大分子有机物氧化成小分子中间产物,陶粒、硅胶和沸石负载TiO₂ 3种催化剂分别将AOC从大约300　μg·L^-1增加到 674.1　μg·L^-1、847.2　μg·L^-1和882.1　μg·L^-1,并且分别使AOC/TOC从原水的4.68%升高到30.5%、33.21%和46.04%,大大地提高了水中有机物的可生物降解性.如果增加臭氧投量,催化氧化可使小分子有机物部分被氧化,致使水样AOC又略有回降.在这一过程中,AOC-NOX所代表的羧酸类物质急剧增加,达到总AOC的90％以上,取代AOC-P17成为了AOC的主体组成部分.     

A new photon kinetic-measure based on the kinetics of electron-hole pairs in photodegradation of textile wastewater using the UV-H2O2FS-TiO2 process

Actual textile wastewater and synthesized wastewater containing various textile dyes were photocatalytic degraded by the UVH2O2Fs-TiO2 process in an aimular-flow photocatalytic reactor. In this process, a photon kinetic-measure was adopted to obtain constant rates of dyes decomposition. It was theorized that, by illumination at different UV frequencies, the electrons within the semiconductor were excited from the valence band to the conduction band, yielding the formation of electron-hole pairs which are the pre-requisites for photocatalysis. CPT （critical photonic time） exposure required to cause 90% of vibrations between the double and single bonds along the molecular chain of the dyes to be oxidized, was taken to measure the photocatalytic activities. The CPTs varied with the frequencies of the UV spectral areas. The derivatization of CPT from the first-order kinetic law was presented.

氧化锰八面体分子筛的合成及其对苯催化氧化性能

采用回流的方法,制备了氧化锰八面体分子筛（OMS-2）纳米棒.利用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、氮气吸附-脱附、程序升温还原（H2-TPR）分别对产物进行晶型、形貌、孔径和H2还原性能进行分析,并考察不同煅烧温度下的催化剂对苯的催化氧化性能及300℃煅烧催化剂的稳定性.结果表明,煅烧温度对氧化锰八面体分子筛（OMS-2）的表面特征有显著的影响,煅烧温度越高,比表面积和孔容越小,平均孔径越大.同时随着煅烧温度的增加,催化剂对苯的催化氧化性能降低.经300℃煅烧的催化剂对苯的催化活性最佳,反应温度为200℃时,苯的转化率达到了50%;当反应温度为250℃时,苯的转化率达到90%.经300℃煅烧的催化剂在260℃下70 h内,对苯的催化氧化性能降低了5%,具有良好的稳定性.
