Experimental results indicate that thermal treatment is an effective approach to decreasing acidity and the acid removal rate reaches 80%. Temperature is one of the main factors that determine the acid removal reaction. When the temperature ranges from 420oC to 440oC, the acid removal rate increases with the rise of the reaction temperature, but the increase slows down gradually. At the reaction temperature below 440oC, the long reaction time favors the acid removal. The cracking and polymerization of hydrocarbon molecules take place so that the properties of the crude oil change at the same time when the highly acidic crude is thermally treated.展开更多

文摘Thermodynamic modeling is still themostwidely usedmethod to characterize aerosol acidity,a critical physicochemical property of atmospheric aerosols.However,it remains unclear whether gas-aerosol partitioning should be incorporated when thermodynamicmodels are employed to estimate the acidity of coarse particles.In this work,field measurements were conducted at a coastal city in northern China across three seasons,and covered wide ranges of temperature,relative humidity and NH_(3) concentrations.We examined the performance of different modes of ISORROPIA-II(a widely used aerosol thermodynamic model)in estimating aerosol acidity of coarse and fine particles.The M0 mode,which incorporates gas-phase data and runs the model in the forward mode,provided reasonable estimation of aerosol acidity for coarse and fine particles.Compared to M0,the M1 mode,which runs the model in the forward mode but does not include gas-phase data,may capture the general trend of aerosol acidity but underestimates pH for both coarse and fine particles;M2,which runs the model in the reverse mode,results in large errors in estimated aerosol pH for both coarse and fine particles and should not be used for aerosol acidity calculations.However,M1 significantly underestimates liquid water contents for both fine and coarse particles,while M2 provides reliable estimation of liquid water contents.In summary,our work highlights the importance of incorporating gas-aerosol partitioning when estimating coarse particle acidity,and thus may help improve our understanding of acidity of coarse particles.

文摘Nitrate renoxification significantly influences atmospheric nitrogen cycling and global OH budgets.Although numerous nitrite acid(HONO)formation pathways from nitrate photolysis have been widely reported,the influence of various environmental factors and aerosol properties on reactive nitrogen production remains largely unclear.In this work,we employed NaNO_(3)/humic acid(HA)as a model nitrate photosensitization system to investigate the crucial roles of aerosol acidity,organic fraction,and dissolved oxygen in the production of HONO,NO_(2),and NO_(2)^(-).The presence of HA at 10 mg/L resulted in a remarkable increase in HONO production rates by approximately 2–3 times and NO_(2)^(-) concentration by 3–6 times across a pH range of 5.2 to 2.0.Meanwhile,the molar fraction of gaseous HONO in total N(Ⅲ)production increased from4%to 69%as bulk-phase pH decreased from 5.2 to 2.0.The higher organic fraction(i.e.,20 and 50 mg/L HA concentration)instead inhibited HONO and NO_(2) release.The presence of dissolved oxygen was found to be adverse for reactive nitrogen production.This suggests that the HA photosensitizer promoted the secondary conversion of NO_(2) to HONO mainly via reduced ketyl radical intermediates,while superoxide radical formation might exert a negative effect.Our findings provide comprehensive insights into reactive nitrogen production from photosensitized nitrate photolysis mediated by various external and internal factors,potentially accounting for discrepancies between field observations and model simulations.

文摘The high-acidity vanadium-containing solution contains high concentrations of iron and aluminum with pH around 0.5,the ketoxime extractant with the active ingredient of 2-hydroxy-5-nonylacetophenone oxime(HNAO,HL) was proposed to extract vanadium from the solution.Under the phase ratio(O/A)of 1:2,HNAO concentration of 0.542 mol·L^(-1) at 25℃ for 10 min,99.06% of vanadium was extracted after a three-stage countercurrent extraction,while the extraction of impurities was less than 1%,with the separation coefficients of vanadium from iron and aluminum were 137050 and 43197,respectively.The antioxidant properties of the extractant were studied.At 25℃,the extractant basically did not undergo oxidative degradation.Besides,about 91.2% of the loaded vanadium was effectively stripped using 2.5 mol·L^(-1)Na_(2)CO_(3) solution.The extraction mechanism of vanadium was investigated through the slope analysis method,the spectral characterizations and density functional theory calculations.It has been observed that VO_(2)^(+) substitutes the H atom on the phenolic hydroxyl and coordinates with the N atom on the oxime and the O atom on the phenolic hydroxyl to form of a six-membered ring,and the extraction complexes were determined to be VO_(2)(H_(2)O)L and VO_(2)L.
文摘Constructing new Brönsted acid sites within zeolitic materials holds paramount importance for the advancement of solid-acid catalysis.Zeo-type germanosilicates,a class of metallosilicates with a neutral framework composed of tetravalent Ge and Si oxygen tetrahedrons,are conventionally considered not to generate Brönsted acid sites.Herein,we disclose an abnormal phenomenon with Ge-rich IWW-type germanosilicate(IWW-A)as an example that Ge-enriched germanosilicates are featured by mild Brönsted acidity.Using the art-of-state density functional theory calculation,19F magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance,microcalorimetric and ammonia infrared mass spectrometry-temperature-programmed desorption characterizations,the nature of germanosilicate's Brönsted acidity has been demonstrated to be closely related to the neighboring framework Ge-hydroxyl pairs.Besides,the contribution of Ge-OH groups to Brönsted acidity and the role of Ge-pair structure for maintaining mild acid strength have been elucidated.In catalytic cracking of n-hexane and methanol-to-olefins reaction,the IWW-A germanosilicate exhibit high light olefins selectivity,good recyclability and low carbon deposition,outperforming the benchmark zeolite catalyst,ZSM-5 aluminosilicate.
文摘Highly acidic crude oil is thermally soaked to investigate how the temperature and time involved affect the removal of organic acid in feedstock. Experimental results indicate that thermal treatment is an effective approach to decreasing acidity and the acid removal rate reaches 80%. Temperature is one of the main factors that determine the acid removal reaction. When the temperature ranges from 420oC to 440oC, the acid removal rate increases with the rise of the reaction temperature, but the increase slows down gradually. At the reaction temperature below 440oC, the long reaction time favors the acid removal. The cracking and polymerization of hydrocarbon molecules take place so that the properties of the crude oil change at the same time when the highly acidic crude is thermally treated.
文摘Activation of neutrophil membrane receptors initiates intracellular signal transduction cascades that orchestrate the cell's effector functions,including phagocytosis,production of reactive oxygen and halogen species,degranulation,and NETosis(formation of neutrophil extracellular traps[NETs]).NETs,which contain antimicrobial compounds such as myeloperoxidase(MPO),represent a strategy to combat infection.However,excessive production of NETs promotes thrombosis,diabetes mellitus,and other diseases.Therefore,investigations into the mechanisms of NETosis and the identification of modulators of this process are critical for developing strategies to address NETosis-related disorders.Here,we identified a novel NETosis inducer,human serum albumin(HSA)modified by the MPO product hypochlorous acid(HSAHOCl),whose accumulation in vivo was correlated with inflammatory processes.Using human blood neutrophils,we investigated HSAHOCl-induced NETosis and detected NET formation by flow cytometry.The results showed that the mechanism of HSAHOClinduced NETosis involved MPO,NADPH oxidase,and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases(PI3Ks),and that HSAHOCl activated a reactive oxygen species-dependent suicidal type of NETosis.Moreover,HSAHOCl-induced NETosis was inhibited by an anti-HSAHOCl monoclonal antibody.Thus,our findings may facilitate the development of strategies to modulate NETosis in inflammation associated with elevated MPO activity.

文摘We present a comprehensive description and benchmark evaluation of the global–regional chemical transport model called the Emission and Atmospheric Processes Integrated and Coupled Community(EPICC)model.The framework incorporates(1)grid configuration,(2)transport dynamics,(3)chemical mechanisms,(4)aerosol processes,(5)wet/dry deposition parameterizations,and(6)heterogeneous chemistry treatments associated with sulfate,nitrous acid(HONO)chemistry,and aerosol/cloud–photolysis interactions(APIs/CPIs).Openly shared with the atmospheric research community,the model facilitates integration of advanced physicochemical schemes to enhance simulation accuracy.Globally,the model demonstrates realistic representations of ozone(O_(3))and aerosol optical depth.The EPICC model generally demonstrates robust performance in simulating regional concentrations of O_(3) and PM_(2.5)(and its components)in China.It successfully captures vertical profiles of both global and regional O_(3).Notably,the model mitigates frequently reported sulfate underestimations in highly industrialized regions of China.The model accurately captures two regional severe pollution episodes observed in eastern China(January/June 2021).Sensitivity experiments highlight the critical roles of heterogeneous chemical mechanisms associated with sulfate,HONO chemistry,APIs,and CPIs in capturing PM_(2.5) and O_(3) concentrations in China.Improved sulfate mechanisms result in an increase of approximately 32.4%(2.8μg m^(−3))in simulated winter sulfate concentrations when observations exceed 10μg m^(−3).Enhanced HONO elevates winter O_(3) and PM_(2.5) by≤20 and≤10μg m^(−3),respectively.Overall,CPIs dominate over APIs in improving O_(3) and PM_(2.5) simulations across China.Locally,APIs mitigate PM_(2.5) and O_(3) discrepancies in the Sichuan Basin.Seasonal cloud–chemistry coupling explains the weaker impact of PM_(2.5) in summer.

文摘Penthorum chinense Pursh has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine and food in East Asia.The main active substances in P.chinense are galloylated macrocyclic polyphenolic compounds,which have excellent medicinal properties.Galloylation and glycosylation are key steps in the formation of polyphenolic compounds,as the glycosylation of flavonoids is required for the acylation of flavonoid glycosides,and the glycosylation of gallic acid is necessary for its role as an acyl donor.Therefore,glycosylation to generate the acyl donor or acceptor is a core step in the biosynthesis of polyphenolic compounds.However,how this glycosylation occurs in P.chinense is unknown.In this study,we determined that the UDP-glucose transferase PcUGT84A82 mediates the glycosylation of gallic acid and pinocembrin to produce 1-O-Galloyl-β-D-glucose and pinocembroside,respectively.Metabolic profiling of polyphenolic compounds using UHPLC-ESI–Q-TOF/MS revealed high levels of polyphenols in flowers,leaves,and roots,and low levels in stems of P.chinense.We performed isoform-sequencing(Iso-seq)to assemble a full-length transcriptome of P.chinense,from which we identified 58 UGT family members.PcUGT84A82 is highly similar to functional UGTs in other plant species,and PcUGT84A82 transcript levels were positively correlated with the levels of various polyphenolic compounds.We validated the function of PcUGT84A82 via in vitro enzyme assays and transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves.Subcellular localization tests showed that PcUGT84A82 localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm.In summary,PcUGT84A82 catalyzes the conversion of gallic acid to 1-O-Galloyl-β-D-glucose as the acyl donor and pinocembrin to pinocembroside as the acyl acceptor,mediating the biosynthesis of galloylated macrocyclic polyphenolic compounds in P.chinense.These findings lay the foundation for elucidating the entire biosynthetic pathway of active polyphenols in this important herbal plant species.

文摘Short-chain fatty acids,metabolites produced by the fermentation of dietary fiber by gut microbiota,have garnered significant attention due to their correlation with neurodegenerative diseases,particularly Parkinson’s disease.In this review,we summarize the changes in short-chain fatty acid levels and the abundance of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria in various samples from patients with Parkinson’s disease,highlighting the critical role of gut homeostasis imbalance in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease.Focusing on the nervous system,we discuss the molecular mechanisms by which short-chain fatty acids influence the homeostasis of both the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system.We identify key processes,including the activation of G protein-coupled receptors and the inhibition of histone deacetylases by short-chain fatty acids.Importantly,structural or functional disruptions in the enteric nervous system mediated by these fatty acids may lead to abnormalα-synuclein expression and gastrointestinal dysmotility,which could serve as an initiating event in Parkinson’s disease.Furthermore,we propose that short-chain fatty acids help establish communication between the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system via the vagal nerve,immune circulation,and endocrine signaling.This communication may shed light on their potential role in the transmission ofα-synuclein from the gut to the brain.Finally,we elucidate novel treatment strategies for Parkinson’s disease that target short-chain fatty acids and examine the challenges associated with translating short-chain fatty acid-based therapies into clinical practice.In conclusion,this review emphasizes the pivotal role of short-chain fatty acids in regulating gut-brain axis integrity and their significance in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease from the perspective of the nervous system.Moreover,it highlights the potential value of short-chain fatty acids in early intervention for Parkinson’s disease.Future research into the molecular mechanisms of short-chain fatty acids and their synergistic interactions with other gut metabolites is likely to advance the clinical translation of innovative short-chain fatty acid-based therapies for Parkinson’s disease.

文摘Lignin-derived oxygenated aromatics,particularly phenols and aromatic ethers obtained through depolymerization,represent promising feedstocks for synthesizing high-density and high-heat-sink aviation fuels via alkylation-hydrogenation processes.This study systematically evaluates the catalytic performance of various zeolites(Hβ,HZSM-5,MCM-41 and HUSY)in the alkylation reaction of phenol with cyclohexanol.Characterization results demonstrate that HUSY zeolite showed superior catalytic activity compared to other zeolites,attributable to its favorable pore architecture and well-balanced acid site distribution that synergistically facilitate molecular diffusion and catalytic transformations.To further enhance the catalytic properties,HUSY zeolite was modified with citric acid at various concentrations and compared with those treated with NaOH and oxalic acid.The results revealed that citric acid treatment preserved the crystallinity of the zeolite while modulating its acid distribution and pore structure.All modified zeolites enhanced phenol alkylation activity.Notably,the HUSY-0.5M catalyst,which exhibited the highest medium-strong acid to total acid ratio,achieved superior catalytic performance,80.4%conversion of phenol and 99.6%selectivity for alkylation products.The catalyst also exhibited high activity in the alkylation of various lignin-derived compounds,demonstrating its broad applicability.This work provides a new strategy for the valorization of lignin-derived phenols into high-value fuel precursors through alkylation.

文摘Methane dehydroaromatization(MDA)presents a promising carbon-neutral pathway for benzene,toluene,and xylene(BTX)production,alternative to petroleumderived routes.Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of Brønsted acid site(BAS)strength on reaction pathways,alongside the spatial proximity effects between BAS and Mo active sites in bifunctional synergy,remains a critical scientific challenge in catalyst design.This study systematically tunes both BAS strength(via isomorphous metal substitution)and Mo-BAS spatial proximity in zeolites,integrating MDA catalytic evaluations with density functional theory(DFT)calculations to dissect their individual contributions.Strongly acidic BAS catalysts(compared to moderately acidic Fe/Ga-substituted counterparts)exhibit superior performance,evidenced by enhanced aromatic yields.Conversely,weakly acidic Bsubstituted zeolites demonstrate optimal mono-/bifunctional synergy,outperforming moderate-acid systems.DFT results reveal that acid strength dictates C−H activation mechanisms by modulating the energy barriers of rate-determining steps.While Al-zeolites deliver the highest activity,B-substituted systems display unique potential for mechanistic investigations.Spatial proximity analysis indicates that micrometer-scale Mo-BAS distances hinder effective synergy due to exceeding electron interaction and mass transfer limits,whereas nanometer-scale proximity enhances activity(via accelerated intermediate transport)and suppresses coke formation.These findings establish a theoretical framework for rationalizing zeolite catalyst optimization through BAS property engineering and spatial control of Mo-BAS cooperation,providing actionable guidelines for designing next-generation MDA catalysts.
文摘Non-naturalα-amino acids(α-AAs)are pivotal in drug and catalysis,yet their synthesis remains challenges.A photocatalytic strategy for the direct construction of N-heteroaryl-containingα-AAs from heteroaryl aldehydes via acyl radical intermediates is reported.This method exhibits exceptional functional group tolerance and enables late-stage diversification of peptides and carbonyl-group derivatization.Mechanistic studies confirm a radical-based pathway,while applications in peptide modification highlight its utility in bioorganic chemistry.
文摘This study employed integrated multi-omics approaches to elucidate,from the perspective of amino acid metabolism,the adaptive mechanism of Penicillium digitatum under modified atmosphere packaging(MAP)conditions.Comparative analysis of natural air(Air),controlled atmosphere(CA),and MAP treatments revealed that MAP upregulated the expression of the hercynylcysteine S-oxide synthase(HCSOS),aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH),and monoamine oxidase(MAO)genes,thereby enhancing histidine-derived ergothioneine and methionine levels,and subsequently boosting glutathione-mediated redox homeostasis.Meanwhile,MAP induced the expression of the dihydroxyacid dehydratase(DHAD),saccharopine dehydrogenase(SDH),and arginosuccinate lyase(ASL)genes,redirecting valine,lysine,and arginine into the tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle to fuel ATP production.MAP also enhanced ASL-mediated arginine degradation and urea cycle activity,reducing arginine accumulation when compared to CA treatment.In contrast,while MAP induced upregulated expression of the pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase(P5CDH)and D-amino acid oxidase(DAAO)genes,CA treatment promoted proline accumulation,reflecting stress-specific metabolic flexibility.Collectively,these findings demonstrate that MAP triggers transcriptional reprogramming of amino acid metabolism to coordinate oxidative defense,energy generation,and osmotic balance.By modulating these metabolic pathways and regulatory genes under MAP conditions,fungal adaptability can be disrupted.Hence,this study provides a promising strategy for suppressing green mold development,extending the postharvest shelf life,and improving the quality of fruits and vegetables.

文摘The efficient extraction and separation of valuable metal elements from coal gasification fine slag(CGFS)are crucial for the comprehensive high-value utilization of its constituents.This study focused on the carbon-rich components of CGFS(CGFS-H)and systematically investigates the selective leaching behavior of Fe^(3+),Al^(3+)and Ca^(2+)using three organic acid extractants,i.e.,citric acid,tartaric acid,and tetrasodium iminodisuccinate.Additionally,the stepwise leaching of iron,aluminum and calcium from CGFS-H is explored.The selective dissolution mechanisms of these metals by different organic acids are elucidated through X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray fluorescence(XRF),and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)analyses.The results indicate that tetrasodium iminodisuccinate exhibits the highest leaching selectivity for Fe^(3+),while tartaric acid demonstrateds a comparable affinity for both Fe^(3+)and Al^(3+).In contrast citric acid shows superior selectivity toward Ca^(2+).The leaching yield of Fe^(3+),Al^(3+)and Ca^(2+)after sequential leaching with the three organic acids were 79.8%,65.08%and 78.6%,respectively.These findings confirm that effective and selective separation of Fe^(3+),Al^(3+)and Ca^(2+)from CGFS-H can be achieved via optimized organic acid-based leaching strategies.This advancement provides a critical foundation for developing Ca/Fe/Al hydrotalcite materials using CGFS-H as a sustainable feedstock,thereby facilitating the transformation of waste residue into high-value functional materials and promoting resourceefficient utilization of coal gasification fine slag.
文摘Under hydrothermal and solvothermal conditions,two novel cobalt-based complexes,{[Co_(2)(CIA)(OH)(1,4-dtb)]·3.2H_(2)O}n(HU23)and{[Co_(2)(CIA)(OH)(1,4-dib)]·3.5H2O·DMF}n(HU24),were successfully constructed by coordinatively assembling the semi-rigid multidentate ligand 5-(1-carboxyethoxy)isophthalic acid(H₃CIA)with the Nheterocyclic ligands 1,4-di(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzene(1,4-dtb)and 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene(1,4-dib),respectively,around Co^(2+)ions.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that in both complexes HU23 and HU24,the CIA^(3-)anions adopt aκ^(7)-coordination mode,bridging six Co^(2+)ions via their five carboxylate oxygen atoms and one ether oxygen atom.This linkage forms tetranuclear[Co4(μ3-OH)2]^(6+)units.These Co-oxo cluster units were interconnected by CIA^(3-)anions to assemble into 2D kgd-type structures featuring a 3,6-connected topology.The 2D layers were further connected by 1,4-dtb and 1,4-dib,resulting in 3D pillar-layered frameworks for HU23 and HU24.Notably,despite the similar configurations of 1,4-dtb and 1,4-dib,differences in their coordination spatial orientations lead to topological divergence in the 3D frameworks of HU23 and HU24.Topological analysis indicates that the frameworks of HU23 and HU24 can be simplified into a 3,10-connected net(point symbol:(4^(10).6^(3).8^(2))(4^(3))_(2))and a 3,8-connected tfz-d net(point symbol:(4^(3))_(2)((4^(6).6^(18).8^(4)))),respectively.This structural differentiation confirms the precise regulatory role of ligands on the topology of metal-organic frameworks.Moreover,the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra confirmed that HU23 and HU24 have strong absorption capabilities for ultraviolet and visible light.According to the Kubelka-Munk method,their bandwidths were 2.15 and 2.08 eV,respectively,which are consistent with those of typical semiconductor materials.Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements(2-300 K)revealed significant antiferromagnetic coupling in both complexes,with their effective magnetic moments decreasing markedly as the temperature lowered.CCDC:2457554,HU23;2457553,HU24.
