Abstract: Zr-pillared Montmorillonites (Zr-PILM) were prepared by the hydrothermal method with montmorillonite as raw material and zirconium oxychloride as Zr source of pillaring agent. The properties of the samples were characterized by XRD,BET, SEM, TEM, XPS. Effects of the synthesizing conditions on the structures of Zr-PILM were investigated. The results indicate that Zr-PILM retains complete layered and sheeting structure, and its BET surface area and micropore volume increases greatly. ZrO2 exists in Zr - PILM layers.The catalytic reaction result of MTO shows that Zr-PILM has high catalytic activities for MTO reaction.

Abstract: The reducing process of boron-containing slag at low temperature is an important stage of the direct alloying for smelting boron steel. At low temperature boron slag generates mainly solid - solid reaction in the sintering period. The experiments were done on the carbon tube furnace in laboratory, and the effect of slag reaction in different times at 1200°C was researched. The samples were analyzed by XRD after the reaction. The experimental results shown that the reduction rate increased by increasing reducing time. The chemical reducing reaction of boron oxide by ferrosilicon is second-order reaction at solid state.

Abstract: Lignin is extracted from Reed black liquor of papermaking through the acid-precipitation method in this article. Single factor and orthogonal experimental design are applied to optimize research on the extraction of lignin from black liquor of papermaking process, the optimum extraction conditions are obtained: pH is 2, reaction temperatures is 60°C, coagulation time is 30min, flocculation temperature is 70°C. The results show that: the extraction effect of sulfuric acid is better than hydrochloric acid, and its flocculation effect of pH value on lignin production rate is the most, the following is by flocculation temperatures, flocculation, reaction temperature is with minimal impact. And the infrared spectroscopy is used to characterize the structure of extracting lignin.

The catalytic hydrogenation technology for 2,4-dinitrobenzene in liquid phase can be an attractive and elegant routine for production of 2,4-tolylenediamine. The catalytic activity is evaluated at 2.2 MPa, 90 °C, 750r/min, solvent with reaction materials mass ratio of 60, catalyst with reaction materials mass ratio of 0.1. In the catalytic test, The experimental results over the catalyst showed that 2,4-dinitrobenzene and 2,4-tolylenediamine conversion and selective of 99.88% and 99.16% were obtained respectively.It is found that the catalyst is highly dispersion, stable, and reusable. No obvious deactivation of the catalyst was observed after repeated using twelve times.

Abstract: Polysaccharide from Acanthopanax obouatus Hoo(AHPs) was extracted with the hot water.Box-Behnken design(BBD) was employed to optimize extraction temperature; extraction time and ratio of water to raw material to obtain a high AHPs yield. The yield of polysaccharide was 4.68% based on the above mentioned conditions.Close agreement between experimetal and predicted values was found.

Abstract: In this present work, rare earth elements La was added to catalysts for the oxidative esterification of methacrolein (MAL) to methyl methacrylate(MMA). Catalysts were characterized by means of BET techniques. Effects of La proportion, material liquid pH and catalyst amount on catalytic performance were investigated. The results indicated that the addation of La in appropriate proportion could improve the catalyst’s activity. 1.0% was found to be the optimum La additional amount. Under the condition of reation temperature 323K, w%(catalyst) 3.6%, proportion of La in the catalyst 1%, pH of material liquid 10.0 the MMA yield could reached up to 89.8%.

Abstract: A novel poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropa-nesulfonicacid-co-acrylamide) / attapulgite (P(AMPS-co-AM)/APT) high-salt superabsorbent composite was synthesized through graft polymerization in aqueous solution by microwave irradiation. The structure of the composite was characterized by infrared spectra (FTIR).The influence of the content of monomer, microwave power and the ratio of attapulgite clay on water absorbency was investigated. The swelling behaviors and the water retention of Superabsorbent resin with different APT content were also examined. The results show that the graft copolymerization took place between APT and organic monomers. Adding an appropriate amount of APT in resin can effectively improve the absorption capacity and salt-water performance. Microwave power is 390W, APT amount is 7.5% (mass fraction),The water absorbency of resin in distilled water and 0.9wt% NaCl were 1460g / g and 114 g / g. The resin has a faster absorption rate and strong water retention, the appropriate increase the amount of APT can significantly speed up the rate of the resin absorbent and improve its water retention.

Abstract: The experiment has studied the enzymological characteristics of 5 moulds isolated from the distillery yeast, which determined the best condition of culture for the production of saccharifying enzyme and liquifying enzyme. The result has shown that the activity of saccharifying enzyme and liquifying enzyme is higher when the culture time is 5d and when the pH is 5.8. The best pH action ranges from 5.2~7.0; The activity begins to fall when the content of alcohol in the culture solution is more than 60%. The activity of saccharifying enzyme and liquifying enzyme of the 5 moulds changes as the time of culture differs. The longest time of the culture of enzyme is 3~5 d. The pH when the activity of saccharifying enzyme and liquifying enzymeranges of the five moulds is highest ranges from 5.2~7.0 , and it will fall when the pH is meta-acid or meta soda. It’s predited that the activity of enzyme will lose when meta-acid or meta-soda.

Abstract: A mathematical model considering the inter-phase mass transfer both in the down-comer and the riser of an external-loop airlift reactor was established in this paper. The calculated global volumetric mass transfer coefficient based on the assumption of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was different from the local volumetric mass transfer coefficients by the newly proposed mathematical model and the difference was discussed. The effects of mass transfer in the down-comer, the hydrodynamic pressure and the experimental time on the mass transfer coefficient measurement model have been studied in detail. And it was also proved that only the global volumetric mass transfer coefficient, but not the local volumetric mass coefficient, can be obtained from a time-concentration curve in the external-loop airlift reactor.

Abstract: Silver ion modified mesoporous silica (Ag-AMS-2) was prepared by using N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid as structure directing agents and applied to dimethly sulfide (DMS) removal at ambient temperatures. The silver ion interacted with the amino group through coordination bonds and then the silver ion were as the adsorptive sites of the DMS. These Ag-AMS-2 materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption desorption, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), thermal analysis and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The performance of these Ag-AMS-2 materials as DMS adsorbents was tested using a dynamic breakthrough test. And these samples showed high removal efficiency and high saturation adsorption capacity of DMS.
