This study revealed the occurrence of 17 aliphatic amines, some of which have been confirmed to be the precursors of N-DBPs, in source water across China. A sensitive method based on benzenesulfonyl chloride derivatization and liquid-liquid extraction followed by GC-MS analysis was established for the simultaneous analysis of the selected amines in aqueous samples. In total, 37 source water samples from the capital cities of 20 provinces were collected for the survey. Among the 17 amines, 14 were detected with an average frequency of detection of 36%. The most relevant amines in terms of frequency and maximum concentrations detected were dimethylamine （100%, 24.82 μg/L）, methylamine （78%, 0.92 μg/L）, N-methylethylamine （70%, 8.84 μg/L）, propylamine （59%, 10.69 μg/L）, diethylamine （54%, 3.76μg/L）, N-methylbutylamine （35%, 3.07 μg/L）, N-ethylpropylamine （35%, 0.52μg/L）, and piperidine （32%, 2.35 μg/L）. This is the first large scale survey of the aliphatic amines occurrence in source water in the world. The wide presence of nitrosamine precursors like dimethylamine, N-methylethylamine and diethylamine, and the precursors of haloacetonitriles and halonitromethanes like methylamine and propylamine suggests that better source water management is required to ensure the safety of drinking water.展开更多

After extraction the ionic liquid （IL） phase was injected directly into the high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） system for determination. Some parameters that might affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linear relationship, sensitivity and reproducibility were obtained. The limits of detection （LOD, S/N = 3） for the four analytes were in the range of 0.45-2.6 μg L^-1. The relative standard deviations （R.S.D., n = 6） were in the range of 6.2-9.8%. This method was applied for the analysis of the real water samples. The recoveries ranged from 93.4 to 106.4%. The main advantages of the method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and volatile organic solvent-free.展开更多

For the last two kinds of azides that bear a CO2Me group at the para-position of the benzene ring, cascade reactions take place to generate the corresponding lactams in high yields. Compared with homogeneous control [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2, SMOF-1 exhibits remarkably increased photocatalysis activity as a result of synergistic effect of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ units that form cubic cages to host the azide molecules and related intermediates. Moreover, SMOF-1 displays high recyclability and considerable photocatalysis activity after 3 to 12 runs.展开更多

文摘The application of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)biodegradable plastics has long been constrained by insufficient light aging resistance.Hindered amine light stabilizers(HALSs),known as eco-friendly additives,can scavenge free radicals to enhance polymer durability.However,rough choices have resulted in wastage of resources and environmental pressure.Based on the application of plastic films as the background for use,this study systematically evaluates application effects of five HALSs.The films underwent accelerated aging for various durations and were further investigated by a combination of experiments and molecular simulation.Results showed that all HALSs mitigated PBAT light aging,with Chimassorb-944(UV-944)and Tinuvin-770(UV-770)performing the best for real applications.Quantum chemical calculation results showed that UV-944 had stronger anti migration ability.After 300 h of aging,films with UV-944 and UV-770 retained superior tensile strength and elongation at break in the transverse direction compared to neat PBAT films.Polymeric HALSs provided better long-term stability than small-molecule ones.Further spectra analysis indicated that stronger C―O bonds in HALS/PBAT composites correlated with improved photostability.This study offers valuable insights into improving weather resistance of PBAT biodegradable films and optimizing the real application of HALSs.

文摘This study investigated the suppressive effects of Armoracia rusticana(AR)and its three main glucosinolates on both free and bound heterocyclic amines(HAs),along with their mechanisms of free radical quenching using density functional theory.Fish patties were supplemented with varying concentrations of AR(0.5%‒1.5%)and glucosinolates(0.005%‒0.015%),showing a dose-dependent inhibition of HAs and concurrent elimination of free radicals and HAs intermediates.Glucobrassicin demonstrated the highest reactivity,which was verified by frontier orbit analysis and conceptual density functional parameters,consistent with experimental findings.Furthermore,the O-H bond connected to the sulfur atom of glucobrassicin possessed the smallest bond dissociation enthalpy(BDE)value,which indicated that this particular hydrogen atom is most susceptible to react with free radicals.Overall,AR and its glucosinolates,especially glucobrassicin,show promise as natural additives for improving food safety and quality.

文摘The collecting power of tertiary amines（DRN,DEN and DPN） on kaolinite follows the order of DENDPNDRN.After reacting with DRN,DEN and DPN,the surface potentials of kaolinite increase remarkably,and the recruitments caused by collectors also follow the order of DENDPNDRN.The results of dynamics simulation show that the geometries of substituent groups bonding to N are deflected and twisted,and some of bond angles are changed when tertiary amines cations adsorb on kaolinite（001） surface.Based on the results of dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations,the electrostatic forces between three tertiary amines cations and 4×4×3（001） plane of kaolinite are 1.38×10？7 N（DRN12H＋）,1.44×10-6 N（DEN12H＋）,1.383×10-6 N（DPN12H＋）,respectively.

文摘The formation of toxic nitrogenous disinfection byproducts （N-DBPs）, such as nitrosamines, halonitromethanes and haloacetonitriles, from reactions between chlorine/chloramine and dissolved organic nitrogen in drinking water has caused great concern with regarding public health. This study revealed the occurrence of 17 aliphatic amines, some of which have been confirmed to be the precursors of N-DBPs, in source water across China. A sensitive method based on benzenesulfonyl chloride derivatization and liquid-liquid extraction followed by GC-MS analysis was established for the simultaneous analysis of the selected amines in aqueous samples. In total, 37 source water samples from the capital cities of 20 provinces were collected for the survey. Among the 17 amines, 14 were detected with an average frequency of detection of 36%. The most relevant amines in terms of frequency and maximum concentrations detected were dimethylamine （100%, 24.82 μg/L）, methylamine （78%, 0.92 μg/L）, N-methylethylamine （70%, 8.84 μg/L）, propylamine （59%, 10.69 μg/L）, diethylamine （54%, 3.76μg/L）, N-methylbutylamine （35%, 3.07 μg/L）, N-ethylpropylamine （35%, 0.52μg/L）, and piperidine （32%, 2.35 μg/L）. This is the first large scale survey of the aliphatic amines occurrence in source water in the world. The wide presence of nitrosamine precursors like dimethylamine, N-methylethylamine and diethylamine, and the precursors of haloacetonitriles and halonitromethanes like methylamine and propylamine suggests that better source water management is required to ensure the safety of drinking water.

文摘The curing reaction and reaction mechanism of epoxy resin E-44, for which aromatic amine modified dicyandiamide was used as a curing reagent, were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）. The results showed that the modified dicyandiamide had better curing characteristic than unmodified dicyandiamide for epoxy resin E-44, and the curing reaction could be carried out at moderate temperature. Apparent activation energy of the curing reaction was decreased appreciably from 123.829 kJ/mol to 61.550-64.405 kJ/mol, and reaction order was decreased from 0.941 to 0.896-0.900. Curing reaction mechanism also was discussed.
文摘A novel system was proposed for the capture and separation of CO 2 from flue gas. In this method, a resin was employed to regenerate the amine capturing CO 2 from flue gas at room temperature. The feasibility for the resin to regenerate amines such as MEA, MAE, TEA, and ammonia was demonstrated. It was also discovered that the resin could be regenerated by hot water.

文摘In this work, a new microextraction method termed ionic liquid based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction （IL-DLLME） was demonstrated for the extraction of 2-methylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, 1-naphthylamine and 4-aminobiphenyl in aqueous matrices. After extraction the ionic liquid （IL） phase was injected directly into the high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） system for determination. Some parameters that might affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linear relationship, sensitivity and reproducibility were obtained. The limits of detection （LOD, S/N = 3） for the four analytes were in the range of 0.45-2.6 μg L^-1. The relative standard deviations （R.S.D., n = 6） were in the range of 6.2-9.8%. This method was applied for the analysis of the real water samples. The recoveries ranged from 93.4 to 106.4%. The main advantages of the method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and volatile organic solvent-free.

文摘Ru(bpy)3]2+-cored supramolecular organic framework SMOF-1, assembled from a [Ru(bpy)3]2+-derived hexaarmed molecule and cucurbit[8]uril, has been demonstrated to heterogeneously catalyze visible light-induced reduction of phenyl, benzyl, 2-phenylethyl and 3-phenylpropyl azides in acetonitrile to produce the corresponding amines in good to high yields. For the last two kinds of azides that bear a CO2Me group at the para-position of the benzene ring, cascade reactions take place to generate the corresponding lactams in high yields. Compared with homogeneous control [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2, SMOF-1 exhibits remarkably increased photocatalysis activity as a result of synergistic effect of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ units that form cubic cages to host the azide molecules and related intermediates. Moreover, SMOF-1 displays high recyclability and considerable photocatalysis activity after 3 to 12 runs.
