The results obtained were compared with those obtained from conditioning the same alum sludge using cationic and anionic polymers. Experimental results show that Fenton's reagent was the best among the Fenton and Fenton-like reagents for the alum sludge conditioning. A considerable effectiveness of capillary suction time (CST) reduction efficiency of 47% can be achieved under test conditions of Fe^2+/H2O2 = 20/125 mg/g DS (dry solid) and pH 6.0. The observation of floc-like particles after Fenton's reagent conditioning of alum sludge suggested that the mechanism of Fenton's reagent conditioning was different from that of polymer conditioning. In spite of the lower efficiency in the CST reduction of Fenton's reagent in alum sludge conditioning compared to that of polymer conditioning, Fenton's reagent offers a more environmentally safe option. Tiffs study provided an example of proactive treatment engineering, which is aimed at seeking a safe alternative to the use of polymers in sludge conditioning towards achieving a more sustainable sludge management strategy.展开更多

The effect of the equilibrium aqueous acidity on the extraction was studied. According to the corresponding separation factors for adjacent pairs of rare earths,it could be concluded that HEHEHP and Cyanex 272 could be employed for the separation of Tm(Ⅲ),Yb(Ⅲ),Lu(Ⅲ) from the other rare earths. Taking Yb(Ⅲ) as an example,based on the different stripping acid,the potential of the stripping was estimated.展开更多

In terms of the calculation results, the relationship between chemical reactions occurring on the scheelite surface and molecular structures of the reagents were analyzed. The results show that BHA and carboxylic acid collectors interact with scheelite in different forms and the recovery of scheelite using sodium oleate as collector declines successively from SHAP, sodium silicate, to oxalic acid. Moreover, it is found that the performance of depressant in scheelite flotation is directly related to the group electronegativity, indicating that the latter is a dominant factor that determines the former. These findings will be helpful to the academic research communities of scheelite flotation.展开更多

The influence of the dispersed seeds on the decomposi-tion process was investigated too. The alkaline aluminate solutions were used as original solutions with a concentration of Al2O3 having 14.78 g/dm3, αk—1.6 and127 g/dm3, αk—1.6. For the precipitation processes there were used follow-ing precipitating reagents—solutions HCl, NaHCO3 and NH4HCO3 with a concentration of 80 g/dm3, dispersants—PEG 6000, (NaPO3)6 and Tween 20. For the decomposition process the dispersed seeds and factories seeds were used. Structural studies of the aluminum hydroxide particles were carried out by means of the electron-probe microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy, and phase composition of products was determined by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. Ammonium bicarbonate and Tween 20 were determined as the optimal precipitating reagent and dispersant, correspondingly, resulting in dispersed aluminum hydroxide, which is used as a seed in the decomposition process. It was established that this product in form of dispersed seed considerably reduces the duration of the decomposition process;the maximal decomposition of solution (73.9%) was observed after injection of dispersеd aluminum hydroxide into solution. The final aluminum hydroxide having 90% of particles less than 100 nanometers was obtained within 7 hours of steady decreasing temperature from 70°C to 48°C.展开更多

The plasmids were introducedinto Pancl cells, a human pancreatic carcinoma cellline, by lipofectin, and G418-resistant stable trans-formants were expanded. Resulting stable clones werescreened for the presence of hTR insert by PCR withT7 and BGH reverse primers located on the flanks ofthe multiclonal site of pcDNA3.1 vector. Cell growth rate,hTR expression, telomerase activity, and anchorage-in-dependent growth property were analyzed. Finally, sus-ceptibility of antisense hTR cells to chemotherapeuticreagents was evaluated.Results: Significant downregulation of endogenous hTRwas evident in the antisense-hTR transformed cells,and telomerase activity was markedly decreased com-pared to control cells in standard TRAP assays. Fur-thermore, the proliferation and the anchorage-inde-pendent growth ability in antisense-hTR expressingcells were significantly decreased compared with thecontrol parental cells. However, no crisis or senescencephenomena was observed. Antisense hTR appears toincrease Pancl cell's susceptibility to chemotherapeuticreagent cDDP, but not to differentiation reagent DM-SO, COX2 inhibitor sulinbac, NS-398, curcumin, andchemotherapeutic reagent adriamycin(ADM).Conclusions: These data indicate that hTR is probablya critical component of human telomerase activity andthat downregulation of the RNA component of humantelomerase is an effective target for anticancer strategyand antisense hTR can increase Pancl cell's susceptibilityto cDDP.展开更多

The results showed that the dosage of lime used for depressing pyrite was the main factor that increased the filter cake moisture of copper concentrate. With increasing the dosage of lime, the cake moisture of copper concentrate increased sharply. The cause was concluded to be the addition of lime to the pulp, which resulted in the formation of floc and a high pH value. The collector Z-200#, used for collecting chalcopyrite, had, as well, an adverse effect on the cake moisture of copper concentrate, but its effect was inferior in respect to that of lime. The cake moisture of copper concentrate can be decreased by changing the method with which lime is added and the pH value of pulp is regulated. The experiment results showed that the sulfuric acid was the best regulator. When the clarified liquor of lime was used as a depressant and the pH value of the pulp was regulated to 6.5€*7.0 by adding sulfuric acid, the cake moisture of copper concentrate was reduced from 15.49% to 13.13%. The examination of chalcopyrite surface by using ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) showed that calcium sulfate and iron hydroxide had formed on the surface of chalcopyrite when lime was added to the pulp. The formation of calcium sulfate and iron hydroxide on its surface increased the hydrophilicity of chalcopyrite so that its cake moisture increased. The addition of sulfuric acid to the pulp not only removed the calcium sulfate, but also reduced the concentration of iron hydroxide on the surface of chalcopyrite so that the cake moisture of copper concentrate was decreased.展开更多

The alkaline aluminate solutions were used as original solutions with a concentration of Al2O3 having 14.78 g/dm3, αk—1.6 and127 g/dm3, αk—1.6. For the precipitation processes there were used follow-ing precipitating reagents—solutions HCl, NaHCO3 and NH4HCO3 with a concentration of 80 g/dm3, dispersants—PEG 6000, (NaPO3)6 and Tween 20. For the decomposition process the dispersed seeds and factories seeds were used. Structural studies of the aluminum hydroxide particles were carried out by means of the electron-probe microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy, and phase composition of products was determined by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. Ammonium bicarbonate and Tween 20 were determined as the optimal precipitating reagent and dispersant, correspondingly, resulting in dispersed aluminum hydroxide, which is used as a seed in the decomposition process. It was established that this product in form of dispersed seed considerably reduces the duration of the decomposition process;the maximal decomposition of solution (73.9%) was observed after injection of dispersеd aluminum hydroxide into solution. The final aluminum hydroxide having 90% of particles less than 100 nanometers was obtained within 7 hours of steady decreasing temperature from 70°C to 48°C.

文摘A range of bench-stable carbazole-containing hypervalent iodine(Ⅲ) reagents were synthesized by I-N bond formation in good yields.This kind of benziodoxolone reagents was used for a C-N coupling reaction to introduce a carbazole group to aromatic heterocycle compounds.
文摘Ultrasonic waves have a lot of use in the particle surface cleaning.As flotation is one of the methods associated with surface properties,this paper investigates the effect of these waves on performance,particle size,reagents,and feed ash content in coal flotation.To accomplish this goal,coal samples in three size fractions,including coarse(-800 to+400μm),medium(-400 to+100 μm)and fine(-100μm)with various feed ash content.The flotation experiments were evaluated by process indexes such as yield,combustible recovery,and selectivity index.The results indicated the increasing of yield.The increasing was significant in medium size.Furthermore,the results showed that in presence of ultrasonic waves,the collector and frother consumption decreased.And also,applying ultrasonic waves would result more combustible recovery and selectivity index.The ash selectivity index had the highest impact for high feed ash content.

文摘The new topological indices A x1 A x3 suggested in our laboratories were applied to the study of structure property relationships between color reagents and their color reactions with yttrium. The topological indices of twenty asymmetrical phosphone bisazo derivatives of chromotropic acid were calculated. The work shows that QSPR can be used as a novel aid to predict the molar absorptivities of color reactions and in the long term to be helpful tool in color reagent design. Multiple regression analysis and neural network were employed simultaneously in this study. The results demonstrated the feasibility and the effectiveness of the method.
文摘Objectives: To clarify the inhibition of pancreatic can-cer cells by interference with the hTR component of thetelomerase reverse transcriptase enzymatic complexand evaluate susceptibility of antisense hTR pancreaticcancer cells to chemotherapeutic reagents.Methods: A 593 bp of full length hTR cDNA was sub-cloned into a mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1(-) in antisense orientation to construct an antisensehTR expression plasmid. The plasmids were introducedinto Pancl cells, a human pancreatic carcinoma cellline, by lipofectin, and G418-resistant stable trans-formants were expanded. Resulting stable clones werescreened for the presence of hTR insert by PCR withT7 and BGH reverse primers located on the flanks ofthe multiclonal site of pcDNA3.1 vector. Cell growth rate,hTR expression, telomerase activity, and anchorage-in-dependent growth property were analyzed. Finally, sus-ceptibility of antisense hTR cells to chemotherapeuticreagents was evaluated.Results: Significant downregulation of endogenous hTRwas evident in the antisense-hTR transformed cells,and telomerase activity was markedly decreased com-pared to control cells in standard TRAP assays. Fur-thermore, the proliferation and the anchorage-inde-pendent growth ability in antisense-hTR expressingcells were significantly decreased compared with thecontrol parental cells. However, no crisis or senescencephenomena was observed. Antisense hTR appears toincrease Pancl cell's susceptibility to chemotherapeuticreagent cDDP, but not to differentiation reagent DM-SO, COX2 inhibitor sulinbac, NS-398, curcumin, andchemotherapeutic reagent adriamycin(ADM).Conclusions: These data indicate that hTR is probablya critical component of human telomerase activity andthat downregulation of the RNA component of humantelomerase is an effective target for anticancer strategyand antisense hTR can increase Pancl cell's susceptibilityto cDDP.

文摘Herein we report a new general method for one-step synthesis of four kinds of fluoroiodane(Ⅲ)reagents by treating the corresponding aryl iodides with silver difluoride(AgF_(2)).This is the first method applicable for the synthesis of all four fluoroiodane(Ⅲ)reagents including p-iodotoluene difluoride(1),fluoro-benziodoxole(2),fluoro-benziodoxolone(3),and fluoro-N-acetylbenziodazole(4).AgF_(2)was firstly employed in the direct oxidative fluorination of iodobenzene and thus has shown its outstanding oxidation and fluorine-transfer ability.The use of AgF_(2)has improved the synthesis of fluoroiodane(Ⅲ)reagents by shortening the reaction steps,avoiding the use of hazardous reagents,and simplifying the experimental operations.It was worth noting that we have developed the first one-step direct synthetic method for 3,while 3 can only be synthesized through Cl→F ligand exchange reaction previously.
文摘The synergistic extraction of Cd(Ⅱ)with primary amine N-1923 and neutral organophosphorus reagents(TBP,DBBP,B)from hydrochloric acid has been investigated at μ=0.5,t=25℃.The compositions of the synergistic extraction complexes and the mechanism of the synergistic extraction have been determined by the methods of slope and constant mole. The synergistic extraction complexes with composition(RNH_3Cl)_2·CdCl_2·B have been demonstrated.The synergistic extraction reactions and additional reaction of Cd(Ⅱ)have been proposed as follows: CdCl_2+2RNH_3Cl_(o)+B_(o)(RNH_3Cl)_2·CdCl_2·B_(o) (RNH_3Cl)_3·CdCl_(2(o)+B_(o)(RNH_3Cl)_2·CdCl_2·B_(o)+RNH_3Cl_(o) In addition,the equilibrium constants and the thermodynamic functions of the synergistic ex- traction reactions have been calculated.The IR and NMR spectra of the synergistic ext-ac- tion complexes of Cd(Ⅱ)have been studied as well.
文摘The effect of reagents used in separating chalcopyrite from pyrite on the cake moisture of the copper concentrate at Daye Iron Mine Mineral Processing Plant was investigated. The results showed that the dosage of lime used for depressing pyrite was the main factor that increased the filter cake moisture of copper concentrate. With increasing the dosage of lime, the cake moisture of copper concentrate increased sharply. The cause was concluded to be the addition of lime to the pulp, which resulted in the formation of floc and a high pH value. The collector Z-200#, used for collecting chalcopyrite, had, as well, an adverse effect on the cake moisture of copper concentrate, but its effect was inferior in respect to that of lime. The cake moisture of copper concentrate can be decreased by changing the method with which lime is added and the pH value of pulp is regulated. The experiment results showed that the sulfuric acid was the best regulator. When the clarified liquor of lime was used as a depressant and the pH value of the pulp was regulated to 6.5€*7.0 by adding sulfuric acid, the cake moisture of copper concentrate was reduced from 15.49% to 13.13%. The examination of chalcopyrite surface by using ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) showed that calcium sulfate and iron hydroxide had formed on the surface of chalcopyrite when lime was added to the pulp. The formation of calcium sulfate and iron hydroxide on its surface increased the hydrophilicity of chalcopyrite so that its cake moisture increased. The addition of sulfuric acid to the pulp not only removed the calcium sulfate, but also reduced the concentration of iron hydroxide on the surface of chalcopyrite so that the cake moisture of copper concentrate was decreased.
