Abstract: The pollution of chromium salt industry is increasingly serious in China and becomes a worldwide problem with the rapid development of chromium salt industry. Then a new clean production process with a high recovery rate of chromium and pollution-free was proposed according to the comprehensive summary of existing processes of basic chromium sulphate. Furthermore, a small amount of slag will be discharged in this short process with lower energy consuming. The design concept is also applicable to the preparation of other chromium salts products, which will eliminate the pollution of Cr⁶⁺ during the process of chromium salt production and be helpful to the comprehensive utilization of chromium salt. In addition, the guidance of scholar research and the broad application prospects of this work cannot be neglected.

Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important enzyme in mammalian nervous systems. The Ellman assay is usually used to measure AChE activity and calculate the inhibition rate by measure the absorbance at 412nm by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. However, an alternative absorbance at 329nm which assigned as S-S of 5,5'-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) was found, and it negatively correlated with the absorbance at 412nm. Therefore, the absorbance at 329nm was also possible used to measure AChE activity and calculate the inhibition rate. In addition, the reaction time should be considered in the process to transfer the relationship of these two absorbance values, because Cu (II) would combine with 5'-mercapto-2'-nitrobenzoic acid (5-MNBA).

Abstract: N-(3-Cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide was synthesized by the acylation reaction of trifluoroacetic anhydride with 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile, which was prepared via microwave-assisted Gewald reaction with K₂CO₃ as a heterogeneous solid base catalyst. This protocol presented such advantages as short reaction time, high yield, easy work-up and environmentally benign procedures. The structure of the title compound was confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, MS, elemental analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction method. X-Ray diffraction analysis reveals that the cyclohexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation and the thiophene ring is essentially planar.

Abstract: A new polymer amine modified phenyl phenol cresol resin preparing reports, physico-chemical constants and the ability to dissolve resin was determined, on the basis ofthe resin and the ring emulsion resin curing were studied.

Abstract: Carboxymethyl chitosan aerogel was prepared by freeze-drying method with glutaraldehyde as crosslinking agent. The effect of different concentrations of crosslinking agent and solvent on the gel time and porosity was investigated. The absorption capacity of aerogel was investigated with different oils (gasoline, diesel oil, peanut oil, dimethyl silicone). The results were shown as 1) the highest porosity of the aerogel was 95.01% and the lowest density was 0.026g/cm³. 2) The optimum preparation condition was the concentration of crosslinking agent 20%, the solvent concentration 2%. Oil absorption capacity of the aerogel was up to the maximum of 28.6g/g (to dimethyl silicone), which was higher than to the other three oils. This work offered a preparation method for the high porosity, high oil-absorbing massive carboxymethyl chitosan aerogel and revealed its potential application in the treatment of oil pollution.

Abstract: Density functional theory B3LYP method with 6-311++G** basis set has been used to optimize Chain-isomers of N9H9. Sixteen species are found, the structures, stabilities, thermochemical properties, and their tautomerism are studied and discussed. The ten corresponding transition states have been found. The experimental results indicated that the reaction energy barriers of isomerization of these isomers were between 139.56 kJ/mol and 236.67kJ/mol. The activation energies is higher, the isomerization of these isomers is relatively difficult. The isomerization processes of these chain-isomers of N9H9 are all completed by the H transfer.

Abstract: The Cu₂O supported by active carbon (Cu₂O/AC) was prepared by impregnation with different concentrations of CuSO₄ and Na₂SO₃ in HAc-NaAc buffer solution. The addition of a few C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) in reaction favored of improving the quality of the cuprous oxide. The sample was characterized by chemistry analysis, SEM, XRD and so on. The results showed that the cuprous oxide was of pure phase and radial spherical morphology. The photocatalytic activity of prepared catalysts was investigated for degradation of organic dyes. The degradation efficiency was up to 95% under the optimized experimental conditions.

Abstract: The radical polymerization of optically active methacrylamide derivatives, N-[o-(4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl) phenymethacrylamide ((R)-PhOPMAM) and N-[o-(4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl) phenymethacrylamide ((S)-PrⁱOPMAM), were carried out under various conditions. The effect of the Lewis acid, that is, rare earth metal trifluoromethanesulfonates on the free-radical polymerization were examined under different solvents. The Lewis acids are effective in enhancing the isotacticity in the polymerization of (S)-PrⁱOPMAM. The same phenomenon were not happened in the polymerization of (R)-PhOPMAM. The polymerization characteristics and the chiroptical behavior of the resultant polymers have been examined by using circular dichroism (CD), UVVis, and NMR spectroscopies.

The performance of several WEC paper chemicals were compared to select the optimum one and the most appropriate level. It was found that: (1) with respect to bottom liner board pulp, the optimum furnish was experiment G-3 with the dosage of 0.3% WEC03S + 0.2% WEC02 , while ring crush index being increased by 47.6% , folding endurance by 50.0% and burst index by 20.7%. (2) in terms of three layers composite structure of linerboard, the optimum furnish was experiment E-4 with the dosage of 0.3% WEC03S + 0.1% WEC02 +0.04% WEC02A for cover layer , that of 0.3% WEC02 + 0.03% WEC02A for bottom layer , and that of 0.03% WEC02A for core layer.
