The ...A facile one-step co-precipitation method was demonstrated to fabricate amorphous sulfurcontaining calcium phosphate （SCP） nanoparticles, in which the sulfur group was in-situ introduced into calcium phosphate. The resulting SCP exhibited a noticeable enhanced performance for Pb（II） removal in comparison with hydroxyapatite （HAP）, being capable of easily reducing 20 ppm of Pb（II） to below the acceptable standard for drinking water within less than 10 min. Remarkably, the saturated removal capacities of Pb（II） on SCP were as high as 1720.57 mg/g calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model, exceeding largely that of the previously reported absorbents. Significantly, SCP displayed highly selective removal ability toward Pb（II） ions in the presence of the competing metal ions （Ni（II）, Co（II）, Zn（II）, and Cd（II））. Further investigations indicated that such ultra-high removal efficiency and preferable affinity of Pb（II） ions on SCP may be reasonably ascribed to the formation of rodlike hydroxypyromorphite crystals on the surface of SCP via dissolution-precipitation and ion exchange reactions, accompanied by the presence of lead sulfide precipitates. High removal efficiency, fast removal kinetics and excellent selectivity toward Pb（II） made the obtained SCP material an ideal candidate for Pb（II） ions decontamination in practical application.展开更多

Even in the untreated control without a methionine addition, methionine and its catabolites （VOSCs, mainly DMDS） were found in considerable amounts that were high enough to account for the water＇s offensive odor. However, blackening only occurred in two methionine-amended treatments. The VOSCs production was observed to precede black color development, and the reaching of a peak value for total VOSCs was often followed by water blackening. The presence of glucose stimulated the degradation of methionine while postponing the occurrence of the black color and inhibiting the production of VOSCs. In addition, DMDS was found to be the most abundant species produced after the addition of methionine alone, and DMTeS appeared to be the most important compound produced after the addition of methionine＋glucose. These results suggest that methionine acted as an important precursor of the VOSCs in lakes suffering from algea-induced black bloom. The existence of glucose may change the transformation pathway of methionine into VOSCs to form larger molecular weight compounds, such as DMTS and DMTeS.展开更多

The results show that the acidification is mostly caused by the oxidation of sulfur-containing bauxite, which is mainly the natural oxidation of Pyrite(Fe S2), then the alkaline minerals dissolute in the presence of water, leading to the acidification phenomenon, which is influenced by moisture and air flow. Finally, more acid-producing substances are formed, resulting in the acidification of high sulfur-containing bauxite. The acidification of high sulfur-containing bauxite results from the combined effect of the oxygen in the air and water, which can be significantly alleviated by controlling the diffusion of the oxygen in air.展开更多

The catalytic stability over hybrid catalyst of CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 was investigated to ensure that the kinetics experimental results were not significantly influenced by induction period and catalytic deactivation. A large number of kinetic data points(40 sets) were obtained over a range of temperature(240–300 °C), pressure(3–4 MPa), gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)(2000–3000 L·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)) and H_2/CO mole ratio(2–3). Kinetic model for the methanol synthesis reaction and the dehydration of methanol were obtained separately according to reaction mechanism and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Regression parameters were investigated by the method combining the simplex method and Runge–Kutta method. The model calculations were in appropriate accordance with the experimental data.展开更多

Furthermore,the dependent equations between the experimental data of boiling points （Tb） and theoretical parameters were proposed with SPSS12.0 for windows software,whose correlation coefficients R2 are 0.933 and 0.945. These dependent equations were validated by cross-validation method （q2 are 0.923 and 0.929,respectively）. VIF （variance inflation factors） and t-value methods were also used to verify the significance and self-correlationship of each variable. Results indicate that our dependent equation exhibits good prediction ability,and molecular polarizability （α） is the main factor affecting the Tb of oxygen- and sulfur-containing organic compounds. To our interest,obvious dependence could also be found among the oxygen- and sulfur-containing organic compounds＇ experimental data of boiling points （Tb） with R^2 of 0.857.

文摘Asymmetrically substituted phthalocyanines with sulfur-containing substituents for fabrication of self- assembled monolayers were synthesized. Phthalocyanine 7, bearing a disulfide group, was synthesized from phthalocyanine with a hydroxyl group, which was prepared via mixed condensation of the corresponding substituted phthalonitriles. Phthalocyanine 10, bearing an acetyl protected thiol group, was synthesized through the Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction of an iodophthalocyanine. Their self- assembling behavior on gold substrates was further studied by UV-vis spectroscopy.

文摘CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 catalyst was prepared for the dimethyl ether(DME) one-step synthesis in a continuous fixed-bed micro-reactor from the sulfur-containing syngas. The catalytic stability over hybrid catalyst of CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 was investigated to ensure that the kinetics experimental results were not significantly influenced by induction period and catalytic deactivation. A large number of kinetic data points(40 sets) were obtained over a range of temperature(240–300 °C), pressure(3–4 MPa), gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)(2000–3000 L·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)) and H_2/CO mole ratio(2–3). Kinetic model for the methanol synthesis reaction and the dehydration of methanol were obtained separately according to reaction mechanism and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Regression parameters were investigated by the method combining the simplex method and Runge–Kutta method. The model calculations were in appropriate accordance with the experimental data.

文摘The development of green and convenient methods for C–S bond formation has received significant attention because C–S bond widely occurs in many important pharmaceutical and biological compounds.Recently, visible-light photoredox catalysis has been established as an efficient and general tool for the construction of C–C and C-heteroatom bonds. In this review, we have focused on the research on recent advances in C–S bond formation via visible-light photoredox catalysis, and the growing opportunities they present to the construction of complex chemical scaffolds for applications encompassing bioactive molecules synthesis, synthetic methodology development, and sulfur-containing drugs. We hope that this review will provide chemists with a synthetic tool that will open the door to further development of organsulfur chemistry.
文摘Since the most sensitive resonance lines of nonmetallic elements are situated in vacuum ultraviolet region （below 190 nm）, they can not be directly determined with a common AAS instrument covering the spectral range from 190 to 700 nm. The molecular absorption spectrometry is often used for the determination of nonmetallic elements. Syty et al. used vapor molecular absorption spectrometry（VMAS） to determine the sulfur dioxide and sulfide, in which a hydrogen hollow cathode lamp was used as a continuum source to determine SO;at 210 nm and a deuterium arc

文摘Nighttime aqueous oxidation of fossil fuel emissions is a significant source of atmospheric secondary organic aerosols.However,the underlying mechanism of the aqueous processing remains unclear.Utilizing ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry of watersoluble organic carbon samples,we present field observations that reveal the aqueous-phase conversion of nitroaromatic compounds(NACs)and sulfur-containing aerosols from fossil fuel combustion at high relative humidity during a severe haze event in Beijing in the winter of 2016.We have confirmed that the ring-breaking oxidation of NACs can generate nitrous acid in the aqueous phase,which rapidly oxidizes sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))to sulfate.Subsequently,reactions between sulfate and unsaturated compounds contribute to the formation of aliphatic organosulfates.Our results elucidate a molecular-level understanding of the aqueous production of sulfur-containing aerosols from NACs and SO_(2) in wintertime urban haze.

文摘N-doped activated carbon(AC)was employed in a three-dimensional electrode system(3DES)to enhance the removal of sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds(S-VOC).The technical parameters for preparing N-doped AC were optimized based on CS_(2)removal and COS accumulation,where the mass ratio of AC to urea was 1:1.0,and the activation temperature and heat-treatment time were 400℃and 120 min,respectively.When the mixing S-VOC were purified under an operating voltage of 8 V and peroxydisulfate concentration of 0.15 mol/L,CS_(2)removal in the 3DES system with N-doped AC reached 100%within 75 min,and was above 83%as purification time extended to 200 min.Additionally,the COS content in the outlet gas was usually undetectable within 120 min,and was lower than that in the other electrochemical systems.Modification of raw AC through urea impregnation and subsequent heat treatment significantly improved its surface structure and pore size distribution.Moreover,polar functional groups,such as C=O and pyridinic-N,increased noticeably,enhancing the SVOC adsorption capacity and dielectric properties.Consequently,highly reactive substances were more efficiently activated in 3DES system with N-doped AC,and oxidizing species HO·and^(1)O_(2)had important contributions to S-VOC purification compared to SO_(4)^(-)·radicals.A pathway was proposed to elucidate the transformation of sulfur-containing components,such as CH3SH and CS_(2).This study provides an efficient approach for S-VOC purification.

文摘Originating from“rocking-chair concept”,lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have become one of the most important electrochemical energy storage technolo-gies,which have largely impacted our daily life.The utilization of electrolyte additives in small quantities(≤5%by wt or vol)has been long viewed as an economical and efficient approach to regulate the properties of electrolyte and electrode–electrolyte interphases and consequently improve the cycling perfor-mance of LIBs.Among all the kinds of electrolyte additives,sulfur-containing compounds have gained significant attention due to their unique features in building stable electrode–electrolyte interphases and protect battery cells from overcharging.In this work,advances and progresses of sulfur-containing addi-tives used in LIBs are overviewed,with special attention paid to the working mechanisms of these electrolyte additives.Particularly,four representative sulfur-containing compounds(i.e.,1,3-propane sultone,prop-1-ene-1,3-sultone,1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide,and ethylene sulfite)are comparatively dis-cussed concerning their impact on electrode–electrolyte interphases and cell per-formances.Future work on the development of sulfur-containing compounds as functional electrolyte additives is also provided.The present review is antici-pated to be not only a base document to access the status quo in this research domain but also a guideline to select specialized additives and electrolytes for practical applications.
