Abstract: A new method is proposed to treat attapulgite by freeze-dying and heating process. The treated attapulgite presents good adsorption properties. The best adsorption conditions were studied by a series of tests on attapulgite’s adsorption on Cu²⁺ ion. The photos of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) on treated attapulgite show the higher dispersion property, and the IR spectroscopy of treated attapulgite exhibits the lessening of adsorption water, zeolite water and coordinate water contents. At room temperature, the best adsorption conditions are pH = 4±0.2 and the solid to liquid ratio is about 3 g/L. After 40 min, the adsorption experiments achieved balance status, the most adsorption mass is about 39.43 mg/g.

Abstract: Because of its wide pollution, large flow and low concentration, the waste gas containing volatile organic compound (VOCs) will be controlled more strictly on its emission, and new technologies for its treatment must be developed continuously. As an emerging technology for environmental protection, non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been subjected to extensive researches over the past 20 years. In the field of air pollution control, the NTP technology has been used for the abatement of various types of hazardous air pollutants due to its unique properties including the moderate operation conditions (normal temperature and atmospheric pressure), moderate capital cost, compact system, easy operations and short residence times, compared to the conventional technologies. Especially, combined plasma technology has multi-function effects, better pollutant degradation efficiency, better energy utilization efficiency and higher pollutant selectivity than single plasma technology. The research progresses in treatment of waste gas containing VOCs and the patents application by plasma technology combined with adsorbent, catalyst and ferroelectric are summarized and analyzed. From the review, we can come to a conclusion the synergistic technology result in greater enhancement of VOCs decomposition and energy efficiency. The development direction of combined plasma technology is prospected.

Abstract: Ferulyl oleins were synthesized from ethyl ferulate and triolein with Lipopan lipase. The influence of reaction parameters, such as reaction system and water activity were evaluated. Among the tested lipases in different reaction system, Lipopan S BG appeared to be the most appropriate resulting in a overall yield of ferulyl oleins 28.31% within 120h in toluene system, whereas transesterification degree with other lipases did not exceed 20% in any condition. Similarly, the Lipopan lipase expressed the highest transesterification yield at aw = 0.33. The inhibition of nitrosamine by ferulyl oleins in vitro experiments were performed. The results showed that ferulyl oleins had a greater ability to inhibit the N-nitrosodimethylamine formation than ferulic acid and ethyl ferulate did. Ferulyl oleins showed an inhibition rate as high as 76.9%. In the case of nitrite, the extent of the inhibition by ferulyl oleins was slightly lower than EF. They all exhibited the highest inhibition rate at the concentration of 1.5mg/mL. The results suggest that ferulyl oleins can inhibite nitrosamine formation efficiently.

Abstract: A brushing hydrophobic agent of gypsum was prepared with organic silicon monomer (ASID), actyflon-G02, actyflon-G04 and (meth)acrylate monomer by solution polymerization method. The influence factors including the reaction temperature and the introducing model of monomers were investigated. Effect of the hydrophobic agent on water absorption of gypsum samples was also studied. The experimental results indicated that the early water resistance of gypsum samples with the agent was obviously improved. However the water absorption became large when gypsum samples were used for a long period of time, and it is applied to parts of the building that short-term subjected to moisture intrusion.

Abstract: In order to prepare the innocuity polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, the calcium/zinc stearate was used as the thermal stabilizer of PVC and the polyols were used as co-stabilizer of Ca/Zn stabilizer. The influence of polyols on the stabilization efficiency of Ca/Zn stabilizer to PVC was investigated by Congo red methods. The rheological behaviors and dynamic mechanical properties of PVC were also investigated by rotational rheometer and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The results showed that different polyols have different influences on the stability, but the pentaerythritol has a good synergy effect with Ca/Zn stabilizer for PVC and pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol have a lower melt viscosity and good product color.

Abstract: Cellulase named as Celluclast 1.5L was used to deal with bleached softwood pulp. By analyzing the changes of water retention value and crystallinity of fiber after enzymatic treatment, studied the influence of cellulase to aggregation structure of bleached softwood pulp. The results show that with the increasing of the enzyme dosage, the proportion of long-fiber decreases and the content of fines increases. Water retention value of pulp first decreases and then increases. The fiber crystal does not change with the enzymatic treatment, but with the increasing of the enzyme dosage, the crystallinity of fiber first increases and then decreases. It indicates that the cellulase would act on the crystalline region of fiber in the higher enzyme dosage.

Abstract: At present, most of the studies of Xylanase auxiliary bleaching focused on in the alkaline or acid conditions. It was investigated in this paper that Neutral Xylanase had been used to pretreat the oxygen delignified KP bamboo pulp with low kappa number. The effect of Xylanase on the follow-up ECF bleaching was discussed, especially highlighting the principle of the residual lignin removal and improvement of pulp’s brightness. Results showed that the effect of neutral xylanase pretreatment on ECF bleaching of KP bamboo pulp was obvious. The pulp with a higher brightness and brightness stability could be obtained in this way. The optimum charge of xylanase is 0.6IU•g^-1, and The brightness of the bleached pulp could reach 87.8%ISO, the color reversion value 0.016, viscosity 764mL•g^-1. It was 2.9%ISO higher in brightness, 59mL•g^-1 higher in viscosity, but the color reversion value is only 30.2% of the later, compared to the pulp without xylanase pretreatment.

Abstract: In this work, the complex of rutin-Mn has been synthesized. On the basis of elemental, thermogravimetric analyses, IR, the general formula of this complex, Na₃Mn₂•L(HCO₃)₃•3H₂O is given. The interaction of serum albumin (BSA and HSA) with this complex has been studied by fluorescence method and the binding constants K (rutin-Mn-BSA: 3.1×10⁸, 8.7×10⁵; rutin-Mn-HSA: 3.3×10⁷, 2.7×10⁵) and the number of binding sites (rutin-Mn-BSA: 1.8, 1.2; rutin-Mn-HSA: 1.6, 1.1) has been obtained.

Abstract: 5,10,15-Tris(4-nitrophenyl)-20-hydroxylphenylporph-yrin was synthesized by a novel method which was for the nitration of the phenyl groups of 5-(4-hydroxylphenyl)-10,15,20- triphenylporphyin(MHTPP) using NaNO2 and trifluoroacetic acid(TFA) and characterized using mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, UV-visible, IR spectrometry. The mild reaction conditions produced higher yields and minimum macrocyclic degradation. Its fluorescence spectra was studied compared with MHTPP and tetraphenylporphyrin(TPP). The results showed that the absorption and emission bands of the product experienced red shifts and the fluorescence intensity weakened compared with MHTPP and TPP.

Abstract: Although the research of bulk GaN material has take great progress in recent years, while the high quality of p-type GaN material still is an obstacle to fabricate the HBT and LD devices. In this paper we growth a group of Mg doped AlGaN/GaN superlattices under variant conditions. The Hall, AFM, PL and HR-XRD measurement are taken to find the relationship of sample quality with the superlattice structure, growth and annealing conditions. The results show that the period length of about 9nm and Al content of 30% is the optimal structure; the best annealing temperature under tmosphere is about 540°C to 580°C. At last the p-type AlGaN/GaN superlattice with resistivity of 0.31Ω•cm is fabricated which can be utilize for the contact layers of blue LEDs.
