The calculated ozone concentrations and profile of the layer followed a similar trend and were generally in good agreement with the measurements above the tropical area. The calculated peak of the layer was at the same mid-stratosphere at Z = 30 km with a peak concentration and total ozone abundance about 20% higher than the measured peak concentration of 8.0 ppm and total abundance of 399 DU. In the presence of Cl and ClO, the calculated ozone concentrations and total abundance were substantially reduced. Cl generally depleted more uniformly of ozone across the altitude, while ClO reduced substantially the ozone in the upper stratosphere and thus shifted the peak of the layer to a much lower elevation at Z = 14 km. Although both ClO and Cl are active ozone-depleting chemicals, ClO was found to have a more pronounced impact on ozone depletion and distribution than Cl. The possible explanations of these interesting phenomena were discussed and elaborated. The approach and calculations in this paper were shown to be useful in providing an initial insight into the structure and behavior of the complex ozone layer.展开更多

The results show that the reduction degree increases rapidly with increasing the content of NiO, and the presence of NiO also improves the reduction rate of iron oxides. It is found that NiO is preferentially reduced at the beginning of the reactions, and then the metallic Ni acts as a catalyst promoting the reduction rate of iron oxides. It is also observed that the increase of the Ni O content enhances the formation of awaruite(FeNi3) but decreases the percentage of kamacite(Fe,Ni) and taenite(Fe,Ni). The particle size of the materials tends to be uniform during the reduction process due to the presence of metallic nickel, metallic iron and the formation of Fe-Ni alloy. The concentration of CO in the product gas is greater than that of CO2 at the beginning of the reaction and then slows down. The fastest reduction rate of Fe2O3-NiO composites with CO appears at 400-500 °C, and nucleation growth model can be used to elucidate the reduction mechanism. Nucleation growth process is found to be the rate controlling step when the temperature is lower than 1000 °C.展开更多

A high CO2 conversion, approaching the thermodynamic equilibrium value, and nearly 100% CO selectivity were obtained. The surface formate intermediates generated during the reverse water-gas shift reaction at 400 ℃ were identified using in situ diffuse-reflectance infra- red Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The formate consumption to give CO and H20, determined using mass spectrometry, indicated that the reaction proceeded via an associative formate mecha- nism; this contributes to the high Au/CeO2 catalytic activity at low temperatures.展开更多

The method can significantly eliminate the background interference in the assay media and increase the quantitative accuracy and the sensitivity. There is a good linear relationship between CO concentration in the range of 2～10 μmol·L 1 CO and the distance D between the first derivative peak at 415 nm amd valley at 426 nm with r=0.9999(n=5),the regression equation being C (mmol·L 1 )=17.6D 0.4, the detection limit lower than 0.1 μmol·L 1 CO. The average recoveries of CO from the assay system and the sample were 102.1%, RSD=2.9% (n=7) and 79.7%, RSD=6.8% (n=12),respectively. The RSD of within day was 4.4%(n=18),and the RSD of day to day was 6.1%(n=16). By this method, four trihaloanilines and one trihalobenzene were tested, the results showed that only 2,4,5 trifluoroaniline could be converted to CO by the incubation with rat hepatic microsomes, NADPH and oxygen, the ability of phenobarbital or dexamethasone to induce rat hepatic microsomes to catalyze CO formation was 3 or 8 times higher than that of the control.展开更多
Iron ore powder was isothermally reduced at 1023-1373 Kwith hydrogen/carbon monoxide gas mixture(from 0vol%H_(2)/100vol%CO to 100vol%H_(2)/0vol%CO).Results indicated that the whole reduction process could be divided i...Iron ore powder was isothermally reduced at 1023-1373 Kwith hydrogen/carbon monoxide gas mixture(from 0vol%H_(2)/100vol%CO to 100vol%H_(2)/0vol%CO).Results indicated that the whole reduction process could be divided into two parts that proceed in series.The first part represents a double-step reduction(Fe_(2)O_(3)→Fe_(3)O_(4)→FeO),in which the kinetic condition is more feasible compared with that in the second part representing a single-step reduction(FeO→Fe).The influence of hydrogen partial pressure on the reduction rate gradually increases as the reaction proceeds.The average reduction rate of hematite ore with pure hydrogen is about three and four times higher than that with pure carbon monoxide at 1173 and 1373 K,respectively.In addition,the logarithm of the average rate is linear to the composition of the gas mixture.Hydrogen can prominently promote carbon deposition to about 30%at 1023 K.The apparent activation energy of the reduction stage increases from about 35.0 to 45.4 kJ/mol with the increase in hydrogen content from 20vol%to 100vol%.This finding reveals that the possible rate-controlling step at this stage is the combined gas diffusion and interfacial chemical reaction.展开更多

METHODS： The C57BL/6 mice （male, n = 36; weight 20±2 g） were assigned to four groups in three re- spective experiments. Sepsis in mice was induced by cecal ligation and puncture （CLP） （24 h）. Tricarbonyl- dichlororuthenium （Ⅱ） dimer （CORM-2） （8 mg/kg, i. v.） was administrated immediately after induction of CLP. The levels of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）] in tis- sue homogenates were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of malondialdehyde （MDA） in the tissues were determined. The levels of nitric oxide （NO） in tissue homogenate were measured and the expression levels of intercellular adhesion mol- ecule 1 （ICAM-1） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） in the small intestine were also assessed. NO and IL-8 levels in the supernatants were determined after the human adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 was stimulated by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） （10 g/mL） for 4 h in vitro. RESULTS： At 24 h after CLP, histological analysis showed that the ileum and jejunum from CLP mice in- duced severe edema and sloughing of the villous tips, as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells into the mu- cosa. Semi-quantitative analysis of histological samples of ileum and jejunum showed that granulocyte infil- tration in the septic mice was significantly increased compared to that in the sham group. Administration of CORM-2 significantly decreased granulocyte infiltration. At 24 h after CLP, the tissue MDA levels in the mid- ileum and mid-jejunum significantly increased com- pared to the sham animals （103.68 ± 23.88 nmol/ml vs 39.66 ± 8.23 nmol/mL, 89.66±9.98 nmol/mL vs 32.32 ± 7.43 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.01）. In vitro administra- tion of CORM-2, tissue MDA levels were significantly decreased （50.65±11.46 nmol/mL, 59.32 ± 6.62 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.05）. Meanwhile, the tissue IL-1β and TNF-α levels in the mid-ileum significantly increased compared to the sham animals （6.66±1.09 pg/mL vs 1.67±0.45 pg/mL, 19.34±3.99 pg/mL vs 3.98 ± 0.87 pg/mL, P 〈 0.01）. In vitro administration of CORM-2, tissue IL-1β and TNF-α levels were significantly de- creased （3.87 ± 1.08 pg/mL, 10.45±2.48 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05）. The levels of NO in mid-ileum and mid-jejunum tissue homogenate were also decreased （14.69 ± 2.45 nmol/mL vs 24.36 ± 2.97 nmol/mL, 18.47 ± 2.47 nmol/mL vs 27.33 ± 3.87 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.05）. The ex- pression of iNOS and ICAM-1 in the mid-ileum of septic mice at 24 h after CLP induction significantly increased compared to the sham animals. In vitro administration of CORM-2, expression of iNOS and ICAM-1 were sig- nificantly decreased. In parallel, the levels of NO and IL-8 in the supernatants of Caco-2 stimulated by LPS was markedly decreased in CORM-2-treated Caco-2 cells （2.22 ± 0.12 nmol/mL vs 6.25±1.69 nmol/mL, 24.97 ± 3.01 pg/mL vs 49.45± 5.11 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： CORM-released CO attenuates the inflammatory cytokine production （IL-1β and TNF-α）, and suppress the oxidative stress in the small intestine during sepsis by interfering with protein expression of ICAM-1 and iNOS.展开更多

Methods Sprague-Dawley rats with multiple organ injury induced by 5 mg/kg LPS intravenous injection were exposed to room air or 2.5 × 10 ^-4 （V/V） CO for 3 hours. The lung and intestine tissues of rats were harvested to measure the expression of heme oxygenase-1 （ HO-1 ） with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, the levels of pulmonary tumor necrosis factor-or （ TNF-α）, interleukin-6 （ IL-6）, and intestinal platelet activator factor （ PAF）, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the content of maleic dialdehyde （MDA） and the activity of myeloperoxidase （MPO） with chemical method, the cell apoptosis rate with flow cytometry, and the pathological changes with light microscope. Results CO inhalation obviously up-regulated the expression of HO-1 in lung （5.43 ± 0. 92） and intestine （6. 29 ± 1.56） in LPS ＋ CO group compared with （ 3.08 ± 0. 82） and （ 3.97 ± 1.16 ） in LPS group （ both P 〈 0. 05 ）. The levels of TNF-ot, IL-6 in lung and PAF, ICAM-1 in intestine ofLPS ＋ CO group were 0. 91 ±0. 25,0. 64 ±0.05, 1. 19 ± 0. 52, and 1.83 ±0. 35 pg/mg, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group （ 1.48 ± 0. 23, 1.16 ± 0. 26, 1.84 ± 0. 73, and 3.48 ± 0. 36 pg/mg, all P 〈 0. 05 ）. The levels of MDA, MPO, and cell apoptosis rate in lung and intestine of LPS ＋ CO group were 1.02 ± 0. 23 nmol/mg, 1.74 ± 0. 17 nmol/mg, 7.18 ± 1.62 U/mg, 6. 30 ±0. 97 U/mg, 1.60% ±0. 34%, and 30. 56% ±6. 33%, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group （ 1.27 ± 0. 33 nmol/mg, 2. 75 ± 0. 39 nmol/mg, 8. 16 ± 1.49 U/mg, 7. 72 ± 1.07 U/mg, 3.18% ±0. 51%, and 41.52% -＋3.36%, all P 〈0.05）. In addition, injury of lung and intestine induced by LPS was attenuated at presence of CO inhalation. Conclusion CO inhalation protects rat lung and intestine from LPS-induced injury via anti-oxidantion, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and up-regulation of HO-1 expression.展开更多

Catalyst CuCoOx/TiO2 with Cu/Co molar ratio of 1/2, CuCo total loading of 30% at the calcination temperature of 350℃ formed CuCo204 spinel and had the highest activity. NO conversion reached 98.9% at 200℃. Mechanism of the reduction was also investigated, N20 was mainly yielded below 100℃, while N2 was produced instead at higher temperature. O2 was supposed to accelerate the reaction between NOx and CO for its oxidation of NO to give more easily reduced NO2, but the oxidation of CO by O2 to CO2 decreased the speed of the reaction greatly. Either SO2 or H20 had no adverse impact on the activity of NO reduction; however, in the presence of both SO2 and H20, the catalyst deactivated quickly.展开更多

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy （HBOT） is a well-known treatment method, but its use for CO poison- ing patients is controversial to use due to lack of evidences regarding its efficacy. Thus, it is unlikely that HBOT alone will be accepted as the standard treatment method. In this article, current and potential treatment methods of CO poi- soning are presented as well as the tentative multi-factorial pathophysiology. A series of treatments are suggested for use as a bundle therapy, with targeted temperature management as the base treatment method. Such a therapy holds a great potential, especially for the cases where HBOT is not readily available. We suggest further investigations for elucidating the effects of these suggested treatments and their roles in terms of the complex pathophysiology of CO poisoning. Future ac- ceptance of this therapy based on the improved scientific and clinical knowledge may result in injury prevention and mini- mization of the signs and the symptoms in CO poisoning.展开更多

The obtained results revealed that increasing in nickel loading decreased the BET surface area, pore vohune and nickel dispersion. The 25%Ni/CeO2 with a NiO crystal size of 12 nm exhibited the highest activity in CO methanation reaction and reached to maximum CO conversion and CH4 selectivity at temperatures above 230 ℃. The catalytic results revealed that CO selective methanation well progressed at lower temperatures while CO2 methanation was completely suppressed until CO conversion reached to maximum value.展开更多

The experimental results show that De-NO with plasma-catalyst has high NO removal rate; Cu zeolite is an effective catalyst which can promote NO removal rate in plasma remarkably; De-NO with plasma-catalyst should be operated at low temperature and the temperature has opposite effects on the function of catalvst and plasma; water vapor and O2 can increase the NO removal rate.展开更多

Global oceans are net natural sources of atmospheric CO. CO at surface ocean is primarily produced from the photochemical degradation of chromophoric dissolved organic matter(CDOM). In this study, the effects of photobleaching, temperature and the origin(terrestrial or marine) of CDOM on the apparent quantum yields(AQY) of CO were studied for seawater samples collected from Jiaozhou Bay. Our results demonstrat that photobleaching, temperature and the origin of CDOM strongly affected the efficiency of CO photoproduction. The concentration, absorbance and fluorescence of CDOM exponentially decreased with increasing light dose. Terrestrial riverine organic matter could be more prone to photodegradation than the marine algae-derived one. The relationships between CO AQY and the dissolved organic carbon-specific absorption coefficient at 254 nm for the photobleaching study were nonlinear, whereas those of the original samples were strongly linear. This suggests that: 1) terrestrial riverine CDOM was more efficient than marine algae-derived CDOM for CO photoproduction; 2) aromatic and olefinic moieties of the CDOM pool were affected more strongly by degradation processes than by aliphatic ones. Water temperature and the origin of CDOM strongly affected the efficiency of CO photoproduction. The photoproduction rate of CO in autumn was estimated to be 31.98 μmol m-2 d-1 and the total DOC photomineralization was equivalent to 3.25%- 6.35% of primary production in Jiaozhou Bay.

文摘Objective:The neurotoxicity of carbon monoxide(CO)to the central nervous system is a key pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP).Our previous study found that retinoic acid(RA)can suppress the neurotoxic effects of CO.This study further explores,in vivo and in vitro,the molecular mechanisms by which RA alleviates CO-induced central nervous system damage.Methods:A cytotoxic model was established using the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 and primary oligodendrocytes exposed to CO,and a DEACMP animal model was established in adult Kunming mice.Cell viability and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes were assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide(PI)double staining.The transcriptional and protein expression of each gene was detected using real time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting.Long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)SNHG15 and LINGO-1 were knocked down or overexpressed to observe changes in neurons and oligodendrocytes.In DEACMP mice,SNHG15 or LINGO-1 were knocked down to assess changes in central nervous tissue and downstream protein expression.Results:RA at 10 and 20μmol/L significantly reversed CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes,downregulation of SNHG15 and LINGO-1,and upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and tyrosine kinase receptor B(TrkB)(all P<0.05).Overexpression of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 weakened the protective effect of RA against CO-induced cytotoxicity(all P<0.05).Knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 alleviated CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes and upregulated BDNF and TrkB expression levels(all P<0.05).Experiments in DEACMP model mice showed that knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 mitigated central nervous system injury in DEACMP(all P<0.05).Conclusion:RA alleviates CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes,thereby reducing central nervous system injury and exerting neuroprotective effects.LncRNA SNHG15 and LINGO-1 are key molecules mediating RA induced inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and are associated with the BDNF/TrkB pathway.These findings provide a theoretical framework for optimizing the clinical treatment of DEACMP and lay an experimental foundation for elucidating its molecular mechanisms.

文摘The Hyperspectral Infrared Atmospheric Sounder-II(HIRAS-II)onboard China’s FungYun(FY)-3F meteorological satellite was launched in August 2023.This study presents the first attempt to retrieve the global carbon monoxide(CO)column from HIRAS-II/FY-3F spectra based on a newly established full-physics algorithm.The CO global columns derived from the HIRAS-II/FY-3F satellite are compared to measurements from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer(IASI)onboard Europe’s MetopB satellite,as both satellites have the same spectral range with a similar overpass time.The correlation coefficient between the IASI/Metop-B and HIRAS-II/FY-3F CO retrievals is about 0.8.The HIRAS-II/FY-3F satellite can capture well the regions with high CO values,e.g.,Africa,North America,and East Asia.The relative difference in the CO global column between HIRAS-II and IASI is 1.2±13.7(1)%,which is within their combined retrieval uncertainty.The CO plumes from the fire emissions in North America between 18 and 23 July 2024 were observed by the HIRAS-II/FY-3F satellite and consistent with the CAMS(Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service)model simulations.Our results show that the HIRAS-II/FY-3F spectra are of good enough quality to provide quantitative observations of global CO column remote sensing observations.

文摘Ethylene glycol(EG)plays a pivotal role as a primary raw material in the polyester industry,and the syngas-to-EG route has become a significant technical route in production.The carbon monoxide(CO)gas-phase catalytic coupling to synthesize dimethyl oxalate(DMO)is a crucial process in the syngas-to-EG route,whereby the composition of the reactor outlet exerts influence on the ultimate quality of the EG product and the energy consumption during the subsequent separation process.However,measuring product quality in real time or establishing accurate dynamic mechanism models is challenging.To effectively model the DMO synthesis process,this study proposes a hybrid modeling strategy that integrates process mechanisms and data-driven approaches.The CO gas-phase catalytic coupling mechanism model is developed based on intrinsic kinetics and material balance,while a long short-term memory(LSTM)neural network is employed to predict the macroscopic reaction rate by leveraging temporal relationships derived from archived measurements.The proposed model is trained semi-supervised to accommodate limited-label data scenarios,leveraging historical data.By integrating these predictions with the mechanism model,the hybrid modeling approach provides reliable and interpretable forecasts of mass fractions.Empirical investigations unequivocally validate the superiority of the proposed hybrid modeling approach over conventional data-driven models(DDMs)and other hybrid modeling techniques.

文摘Carbon monoxide(CO)and nitric oxide(NO)are signal molecules that enhance plant adaptation to environmental stimuli.Auxin is an essential phytohormone for plant growth and development.CO and NO play crucial roles in modulating the plant’s response to iron deficiency.Iron deficiency leads to an increase in the activity of heme oxygenase(HO)and the subsequent generation of CO.Additionally,it alters the polar subcellular distribution of Pin-Formed 1(PIN1)proteins,resulting in enhanced auxin transport.This alteration,in turn,leads to an increase in NO accumulation.Furthermore,iron deficiency enhances the activity of ferric chelate reductase(FCR),as well as the expression of the Fer-like iron deficiency-induced transcription factor 1(FIT)and the ferric reduction oxidase 2(FRO2)genes in plant roots.Overexpression of the long hypocotyl 1(HY1)gene,which encodes heme oxygenase,or the CO donor treatment resulted in enhanced basipetal auxin transport,higher FCR activity,and the expression of FIT and FRO2 genes under Fe deficiency.Here,a potential mechanism is proposed:CO and NO interact with auxin to address iron deficiency stress.CO alters auxin transport,enhancing its accumulation in roots and up-regulating key iron-related genes like FRO2 and IRT1.Elevated auxin levels affect NO signaling,leading to greater sensitivity in root development.This interplay promotes FCR activity,which is crucial for iron absorption.Together,these molecules enhance iron uptake and root growth,revealing a novel aspect of plant physiology in adapting to environmental stress.
文摘This paper presents a system approach of mass balance calculations of ozone and other species under diffusion-convection-reaction processes to study the impacts of major ozone-depleting chemicals, chlorine (Cl) and chlorine monoxide (ClO), and the effect of photolysis on ozone concentrations, ozone depletion, total ozone abundance, and ozone layer along the altitude in the stratosphere. The calculated ozone concentrations and profile of the layer followed a similar trend and were generally in good agreement with the measurements above the tropical area. The calculated peak of the layer was at the same mid-stratosphere at Z = 30 km with a peak concentration and total ozone abundance about 20% higher than the measured peak concentration of 8.0 ppm and total abundance of 399 DU. In the presence of Cl and ClO, the calculated ozone concentrations and total abundance were substantially reduced. Cl generally depleted more uniformly of ozone across the altitude, while ClO reduced substantially the ozone in the upper stratosphere and thus shifted the peak of the layer to a much lower elevation at Z = 14 km. Although both ClO and Cl are active ozone-depleting chemicals, ClO was found to have a more pronounced impact on ozone depletion and distribution than Cl. The possible explanations of these interesting phenomena were discussed and elaborated. The approach and calculations in this paper were shown to be useful in providing an initial insight into the structure and behavior of the complex ozone layer.

文摘Carbon monoxide(CO)is a vital intracellular gas messenger known for its cytoprotective and homeostatic properties.It plays a pivotal role in a myriad of biological processes.Therefore,the precise detection of CO is of paramount importance in unraveling the intricacies of pathological mechanisms and advancing the development of disease diagnosis.We herein introduce NFCOP,a state-of-the-art near-infrared(NIR)turn-on fluorescence(FL)probe that has been meticulously designed for highly sensitive,swift and selective imaging of CO.The NFCOP response occurred rapidly with CO,within just 10 s,and the calculated detection limit for CO was determined to be 0.32μmol/L.Further investigations conducted at the cellular level and in vivo demonstrated that NFCOP possesses high sensitivity and selectivity for imaging CO.

文摘The absolute partial and total cross sections for electron impact ionization of carbon monoxide are reported for electron energies from 350 eV to 8000 eV.The product ions(CO^(+),C^(+),O^(+),CO^(2+),C^(2+),and O^(2+))are measured by employing an ion imaging mass spectrometer and two ion-pair dissociation channels(C^(+)+O^(+)and C^(2+)+O^(+))are identified.The absolute cross sections for producing individual ions and their total,as well as for the ion-pair dissociation channels are obtained by normalizing the data of CO^(+)to that of Ar^(+)from CO-Ar mixture target with a fixed 1:1 ratio.The overall errors are evaluated by considering various kinds of uncertainties.A comprehensive comparison is made with the available data,which shows a good agreement with each other over the energy ranges that are overlapped.This work presents new cross-section data with electron energies above 1000 eV.

文摘We experimentally investigate the vibrational state distribution of the cations after carbon monoxide(CO)molecules are irradiated by strong laser fields.Vibrational-resolved fluorescent spectrum is observed,which can be well assigned as the A^(2)Π(υ′=0-3)→X^(2)Σ+(υ″=0-3)transitions of the cations CO+,indicating the strong field ionization of the inner molecular orbital of CO.Relative distribution of vibrational states A^(2)Π(υ′=0-3)of CO+is retrieved from the measured spectrum and the Franck-Condon factors.It is found that the vibrational state distribution in strong field ionization of CO apparently deviates from the Franck-Condon-like distribution,but is in good agreement with the calculations,in which we include both the ionization rate and the overlapping between the vibrational wavefunctions of the neutral and cationic electronic states.The distribution of CO+(A^(2)Π,υ′)strongly depends on the laser intensity but is less dependent on the laser ellipticity.Analysis indicates the inter-nuclear distance-dependent ionization plays a significant role in the vibrational state distribution induced by strong field ionization of CO molecules.

文摘The non-isothermal reduction kinetics and mechanism of Fe2O3-NiO composites with different Fe2O3-NiO compacts using carbon monoxide as reductant were investigated. The results show that the reduction degree increases rapidly with increasing the content of NiO, and the presence of NiO also improves the reduction rate of iron oxides. It is found that NiO is preferentially reduced at the beginning of the reactions, and then the metallic Ni acts as a catalyst promoting the reduction rate of iron oxides. It is also observed that the increase of the Ni O content enhances the formation of awaruite(FeNi3) but decreases the percentage of kamacite(Fe,Ni) and taenite(Fe,Ni). The particle size of the materials tends to be uniform during the reduction process due to the presence of metallic nickel, metallic iron and the formation of Fe-Ni alloy. The concentration of CO in the product gas is greater than that of CO2 at the beginning of the reaction and then slows down. The fastest reduction rate of Fe2O3-NiO composites with CO appears at 400-500 °C, and nucleation growth model can be used to elucidate the reduction mechanism. Nucleation growth process is found to be the rate controlling step when the temperature is lower than 1000 °C.

文摘CO2 selective reduction to CO with H2 over a CeO2-supported nano-Au catalyst at atmospheric pres- sure was investigated. A high CO2 conversion, approaching the thermodynamic equilibrium value, and nearly 100% CO selectivity were obtained. The surface formate intermediates generated during the reverse water-gas shift reaction at 400 ℃ were identified using in situ diffuse-reflectance infra- red Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The formate consumption to give CO and H20, determined using mass spectrometry, indicated that the reaction proceeded via an associative formate mecha- nism; this contributes to the high Au/CeO2 catalytic activity at low temperatures.
文摘A dual wavelength differential first derivative spectrophotometric method has been developed to standardize the concentration of a saturated aqueous solution of carbon monoxide (CO) as the standard and to identify and to determine CO formed during the microsomal metabolism of xenobiotics in vitro. The method can significantly eliminate the background interference in the assay media and increase the quantitative accuracy and the sensitivity. There is a good linear relationship between CO concentration in the range of 2～10 μmol·L 1 CO and the distance D between the first derivative peak at 415 nm amd valley at 426 nm with r=0.9999(n=5),the regression equation being C (mmol·L 1 )=17.6D 0.4, the detection limit lower than 0.1 μmol·L 1 CO. The average recoveries of CO from the assay system and the sample were 102.1%, RSD=2.9% (n=7) and 79.7%, RSD=6.8% (n=12),respectively. The RSD of within day was 4.4%(n=18),and the RSD of day to day was 6.1%(n=16). By this method, four trihaloanilines and one trihalobenzene were tested, the results showed that only 2,4,5 trifluoroaniline could be converted to CO by the incubation with rat hepatic microsomes, NADPH and oxygen, the ability of phenobarbital or dexamethasone to induce rat hepatic microsomes to catalyze CO formation was 3 or 8 times higher than that of the control.

文摘Iron ore powder was isothermally reduced at 1023-1373 Kwith hydrogen/carbon monoxide gas mixture(from 0vol%H_(2)/100vol%CO to 100vol%H_(2)/0vol%CO).Results indicated that the whole reduction process could be divided into two parts that proceed in series.The first part represents a double-step reduction(Fe_(2)O_(3)→Fe_(3)O_(4)→FeO),in which the kinetic condition is more feasible compared with that in the second part representing a single-step reduction(FeO→Fe).The influence of hydrogen partial pressure on the reduction rate gradually increases as the reaction proceeds.The average reduction rate of hematite ore with pure hydrogen is about three and four times higher than that with pure carbon monoxide at 1173 and 1373 K,respectively.In addition,the logarithm of the average rate is linear to the composition of the gas mixture.Hydrogen can prominently promote carbon deposition to about 30%at 1023 K.The apparent activation energy of the reduction stage increases from about 35.0 to 45.4 kJ/mol with the increase in hydrogen content from 20vol%to 100vol%.This finding reveals that the possible rate-controlling step at this stage is the combined gas diffusion and interfacial chemical reaction.

文摘Silicon monoxide(SiO)is an attractive anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for its ultra-high theoretical capacity of 2680 mAh g−1.The studies to date have been limited to electrodes with a rela-tively low mass loading(<3.5 mg cm^(−2)),which has seriously restricted the areal capacity and its potential in practical devices.Maximizing areal capacity with such high-capacity materials is critical for capitalizing their potential in practi-cal technologies.Herein,we report a monolithic three-dimensional(3D)large-sheet holey gra-phene framework/SiO(LHGF/SiO)composite for high-mass-loading electrode.By specifically using large-sheet holey graphene building blocks,we construct LHGF with super-elasticity and exceptional mechanical robustness,which is essential for accommodating the large volume change of SiO and ensuring the structure integrity even at ultrahigh mass loading.Additionally,the 3D porous graphene network structure in LHGF ensures excellent electron and ion transport.By systematically tailoring microstructure design,we show the LHGF/SiO anode with a mass loading of 44 mg cm^(−2)delivers a high areal capacity of 35.4 mAh cm^(−2)at a current of 8.8 mA cm^(−2)and retains a capacity of 10.6 mAh cm^(−2)at 17.6 mA cm^(−2),greatly exceeding those of the state-of-the-art commercial or research devices.Furthermore,we show an LHGF/SiO anode with an ultra-high mass loading of 94 mg cm^(−2)delivers an unprecedented areal capacity up to 140.8 mAh cm^(−2).The achievement of such high areal capacities marks a critical step toward realizing the full potential of high-capacity alloy-type electrode materials in practical lithium-ion batteries.

文摘AIM： To determine whether the carbon monoxide （CO）-releasing molecules （CORM）-Iiberated CO sup- press inflammatory responses in the small intestine of septic mice. METHODS： The C57BL/6 mice （male, n = 36; weight 20±2 g） were assigned to four groups in three re- spective experiments. Sepsis in mice was induced by cecal ligation and puncture （CLP） （24 h）. Tricarbonyl- dichlororuthenium （Ⅱ） dimer （CORM-2） （8 mg/kg, i. v.） was administrated immediately after induction of CLP. The levels of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）] in tis- sue homogenates were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of malondialdehyde （MDA） in the tissues were determined. The levels of nitric oxide （NO） in tissue homogenate were measured and the expression levels of intercellular adhesion mol- ecule 1 （ICAM-1） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） in the small intestine were also assessed. NO and IL-8 levels in the supernatants were determined after the human adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 was stimulated by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） （10 g/mL） for 4 h in vitro. RESULTS： At 24 h after CLP, histological analysis showed that the ileum and jejunum from CLP mice in- duced severe edema and sloughing of the villous tips, as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells into the mu- cosa. Semi-quantitative analysis of histological samples of ileum and jejunum showed that granulocyte infil- tration in the septic mice was significantly increased compared to that in the sham group. Administration of CORM-2 significantly decreased granulocyte infiltration. At 24 h after CLP, the tissue MDA levels in the mid- ileum and mid-jejunum significantly increased com- pared to the sham animals （103.68 ± 23.88 nmol/ml vs 39.66 ± 8.23 nmol/mL, 89.66±9.98 nmol/mL vs 32.32 ± 7.43 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.01）. In vitro administra- tion of CORM-2, tissue MDA levels were significantly decreased （50.65±11.46 nmol/mL, 59.32 ± 6.62 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.05）. Meanwhile, the tissue IL-1β and TNF-α levels in the mid-ileum significantly increased compared to the sham animals （6.66±1.09 pg/mL vs 1.67±0.45 pg/mL, 19.34±3.99 pg/mL vs 3.98 ± 0.87 pg/mL, P 〈 0.01）. In vitro administration of CORM-2, tissue IL-1β and TNF-α levels were significantly de- creased （3.87 ± 1.08 pg/mL, 10.45±2.48 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05）. The levels of NO in mid-ileum and mid-jejunum tissue homogenate were also decreased （14.69 ± 2.45 nmol/mL vs 24.36 ± 2.97 nmol/mL, 18.47 ± 2.47 nmol/mL vs 27.33 ± 3.87 nmol/mL, P 〈 0.05）. The ex- pression of iNOS and ICAM-1 in the mid-ileum of septic mice at 24 h after CLP induction significantly increased compared to the sham animals. In vitro administration of CORM-2, expression of iNOS and ICAM-1 were sig- nificantly decreased. In parallel, the levels of NO and IL-8 in the supernatants of Caco-2 stimulated by LPS was markedly decreased in CORM-2-treated Caco-2 cells （2.22 ± 0.12 nmol/mL vs 6.25±1.69 nmol/mL, 24.97 ± 3.01 pg/mL vs 49.45± 5.11 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： CORM-released CO attenuates the inflammatory cytokine production （IL-1β and TNF-α）, and suppress the oxidative stress in the small intestine during sepsis by interfering with protein expression of ICAM-1 and iNOS.
文摘Objective To observe the protection of carbon monoxide （CO） inhalation on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced rat multiple organ injury. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats with multiple organ injury induced by 5 mg/kg LPS intravenous injection were exposed to room air or 2.5 × 10 ^-4 （V/V） CO for 3 hours. The lung and intestine tissues of rats were harvested to measure the expression of heme oxygenase-1 （ HO-1 ） with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, the levels of pulmonary tumor necrosis factor-or （ TNF-α）, interleukin-6 （ IL-6）, and intestinal platelet activator factor （ PAF）, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the content of maleic dialdehyde （MDA） and the activity of myeloperoxidase （MPO） with chemical method, the cell apoptosis rate with flow cytometry, and the pathological changes with light microscope. Results CO inhalation obviously up-regulated the expression of HO-1 in lung （5.43 ± 0. 92） and intestine （6. 29 ± 1.56） in LPS ＋ CO group compared with （ 3.08 ± 0. 82） and （ 3.97 ± 1.16 ） in LPS group （ both P 〈 0. 05 ）. The levels of TNF-ot, IL-6 in lung and PAF, ICAM-1 in intestine ofLPS ＋ CO group were 0. 91 ±0. 25,0. 64 ±0.05, 1. 19 ± 0. 52, and 1.83 ±0. 35 pg/mg, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group （ 1.48 ± 0. 23, 1.16 ± 0. 26, 1.84 ± 0. 73, and 3.48 ± 0. 36 pg/mg, all P 〈 0. 05 ）. The levels of MDA, MPO, and cell apoptosis rate in lung and intestine of LPS ＋ CO group were 1.02 ± 0. 23 nmol/mg, 1.74 ± 0. 17 nmol/mg, 7.18 ± 1.62 U/mg, 6. 30 ±0. 97 U/mg, 1.60% ±0. 34%, and 30. 56% ±6. 33%, respectively, significantly lower than the corresponding values in LPS group （ 1.27 ± 0. 33 nmol/mg, 2. 75 ± 0. 39 nmol/mg, 8. 16 ± 1.49 U/mg, 7. 72 ± 1.07 U/mg, 3.18% ±0. 51%, and 41.52% -＋3.36%, all P 〈0.05）. In addition, injury of lung and intestine induced by LPS was attenuated at presence of CO inhalation. Conclusion CO inhalation protects rat lung and intestine from LPS-induced injury via anti-oxidantion, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and up-regulation of HO-1 expression.

文摘A series of copper-cobalt oxides supported on nano-titanium dioxide were prepared for the reduction of nitric oxide with carbon monoxide and characterized using techniques such as XRD, BET and TPR. Catalyst CuCoOx/TiO2 with Cu/Co molar ratio of 1/2, CuCo total loading of 30% at the calcination temperature of 350℃ formed CuCo204 spinel and had the highest activity. NO conversion reached 98.9% at 200℃. Mechanism of the reduction was also investigated, N20 was mainly yielded below 100℃, while N2 was produced instead at higher temperature. O2 was supposed to accelerate the reaction between NOx and CO for its oxidation of NO to give more easily reduced NO2, but the oxidation of CO by O2 to CO2 decreased the speed of the reaction greatly. Either SO2 or H20 had no adverse impact on the activity of NO reduction; however, in the presence of both SO2 and H20, the catalyst deactivated quickly.
文摘Currently, there is no known optimal therapy for carbon monoxide （CO） poisoning and CO-associated delayed neu- rological sequelae. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy （HBOT） is a well-known treatment method, but its use for CO poison- ing patients is controversial to use due to lack of evidences regarding its efficacy. Thus, it is unlikely that HBOT alone will be accepted as the standard treatment method. In this article, current and potential treatment methods of CO poi- soning are presented as well as the tentative multi-factorial pathophysiology. A series of treatments are suggested for use as a bundle therapy, with targeted temperature management as the base treatment method. Such a therapy holds a great potential, especially for the cases where HBOT is not readily available. We suggest further investigations for elucidating the effects of these suggested treatments and their roles in terms of the complex pathophysiology of CO poisoning. Future ac- ceptance of this therapy based on the improved scientific and clinical knowledge may result in injury prevention and mini- mization of the signs and the symptoms in CO poisoning.

文摘In the present work, selective methanation of carbon monoxide in hydrogen rich stream was investigated over Ni/CeO2 nanocatalysts. The obtained results revealed that increasing in nickel loading decreased the BET surface area, pore vohune and nickel dispersion. The 25%Ni/CeO2 with a NiO crystal size of 12 nm exhibited the highest activity in CO methanation reaction and reached to maximum CO conversion and CH4 selectivity at temperatures above 230 ℃. The catalytic results revealed that CO selective methanation well progressed at lower temperatures while CO2 methanation was completely suppressed until CO conversion reached to maximum value.

文摘An experimental system of De-NO with plasma-catalyst（Cu zeolite） was established to investigate the differences between De- NO with plasma-catalyst and De-NO only with plasma, to provide the instruction for selecting appropriate catalyst and operating condition, The characteristics of De-NO with plasma and De-NO with plasma-catalyst were investigated comparatively by experiments. The experimental results show that De-NO with plasma-catalyst has high NO removal rate; Cu zeolite is an effective catalyst which can promote NO removal rate in plasma remarkably; De-NO with plasma-catalyst should be operated at low temperature and the temperature has opposite effects on the function of catalvst and plasma; water vapor and O2 can increase the NO removal rate.

文摘Carbon monoxide(CO) plays a significant role in global warming and atmospheric chemistry. Global oceans are net natural sources of atmospheric CO. CO at surface ocean is primarily produced from the photochemical degradation of chromophoric dissolved organic matter(CDOM). In this study, the effects of photobleaching, temperature and the origin(terrestrial or marine) of CDOM on the apparent quantum yields(AQY) of CO were studied for seawater samples collected from Jiaozhou Bay. Our results demonstrat that photobleaching, temperature and the origin of CDOM strongly affected the efficiency of CO photoproduction. The concentration, absorbance and fluorescence of CDOM exponentially decreased with increasing light dose. Terrestrial riverine organic matter could be more prone to photodegradation than the marine algae-derived one. The relationships between CO AQY and the dissolved organic carbon-specific absorption coefficient at 254 nm for the photobleaching study were nonlinear, whereas those of the original samples were strongly linear. This suggests that: 1) terrestrial riverine CDOM was more efficient than marine algae-derived CDOM for CO photoproduction; 2) aromatic and olefinic moieties of the CDOM pool were affected more strongly by degradation processes than by aliphatic ones. Water temperature and the origin of CDOM strongly affected the efficiency of CO photoproduction. The photoproduction rate of CO in autumn was estimated to be 31.98 μmol m-2 d-1 and the total DOC photomineralization was equivalent to 3.25%- 6.35% of primary production in Jiaozhou Bay. Our results indicate that CO photochemistry in coastal areas is important for oceanic carbon cycle.
