In order to improve the design of PSA system for fuel cell hydrogen production,a non-isothermal model of eight-bed PSA hydrogen process with five-component(H_(2)/N_(2)/CH_(4)/CO/CO_(2)=74.59%/0.01%/4.2%/2.5%/18.7%(vol...In order to improve the design of PSA system for fuel cell hydrogen production,a non-isothermal model of eight-bed PSA hydrogen process with five-component(H_(2)/N_(2)/CH_(4)/CO/CO_(2)=74.59%/0.01%/4.2%/2.5%/18.7%(vol))four-stage pressure equalization was developed in this article.The model adopts a composite adsorption bed of activated carbon and zeolite 5 A.In this article,pressure variation,temperature field and separation performance are stimulated,and also effect of providing purge(PP)differential pressure and the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A on separation performance in the process of producing industrial hydrogen(CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1))and fuel cell hydrogen(CO content is 0.2μl·L^(-1))are compared.The results show that Run 3,when the CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1),the hydrogen recovery is 89.8%,and the average flow rate of feed gas is 0.529 mol·s^(-1);When the CO content in hydrogen is 0.2μl·L^(-1),the hydrogen recovery is 85.2%,and the average flow rate of feed gas is 0.43 mol·s^(-1).With the increase of PP differential pressure,hydrogen recovery first increases and then decreases,reaching the maximum when PP differential pressure is 0.263 MPa;With the decrease of the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A,the hydrogen recovery increases gradually.When the CO content in hydrogen is 0.2μl·L^(-1) the hydrogen recovery increases more obviously,from 83.96%to 86.37%,until the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A decreases to 1.At the end of PP step,no large amount of CO_(2) in gas or solid phase enters the zeolite 5 A adsorption bed,while when the CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1),and the ratio of carbon to zeolite 5 A is less than 1.4,more CO_(2) will enter the zeolite 5 A bed.展开更多

Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode using draft-tube internally recirculate dair lift biocontactor in comparison with the conventional shake flask batch adsorption equilibrium experiments. Binary protein mixtures contained bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine haemoglobin (BHb) at different initial fractions. Results from single solute adsorption experiments in biocontactor showed that both proteins were equally adsorbed onto the resin with equilibrium reached in an equal time period. This represents similar affinities towards the negatively charged resin surface, although BSA was expected to adsorb through specific forces. Adsorption results showed that BSA has hindered the BHb adsorption in the biocontactor, although adsorption of both proteins was equally hindered in the shake flasks adsorption experiments. Moreover, adsorption of BHb was inhibited up to 29% in the presence of BSA compared to the adsorption of BHb from a solution containing single solute of BHb at the same initial concentration. Similarly, the presence of BHb has hindered the adsorption of BSA by 59%. Adsorptions of both BSA and BHb from binary solution when each formed 75% initial fraction while the other protein formed the remaining 25% were relatively low with equilibrium reached in shorter time. Moreover, considerable amount of proteins remained in the solution, which demonstrates that multilayer adsorption most likely didn’t occur at the relatively small protein concentrations used in the present study. In general, the higher adsorption of BHb can also be related to the compressibility of its molecules which allowed for higher adsorption capacity. The homogeneous and lower shear environment in the airlift biocontactor compared to the other conventional batch adsorption in shake flask reduced the compressibility of BHb that caused higher BSA adsorption from binary solutions of BSA and BHb, which allowed for better bioseparation of both proteins.展开更多

The linear driving force (LDF) model is obtained by assuming a parabolic intraparticle concentration profile. Models Ⅰ and Ⅱ are obtained from the parabolic concentration layer approximation. Examples are presented to demonstrate the usage and accuracy of these models. It is shown that Model Ⅰ is suitable for batch adsorption calculations and Model Ⅱ provides a good approximation in fixed-bed adsorption pro-cesses while the LDF model should not be used in batch adsorption and may be considered acceptable in fixed-bed adsorption where the parameter Ti is relatively large.展开更多

[Method] Adsorption tower filled with calcium superphosphate was adopted as experimental apparatus, which was constructed by poly vinyl chloride （PVC） circular tubes. With hartshorn as the source of ammonia volatilization, the effect of different ratios of height to diameter of the tower filled with equal amount of calcium super-phosphate on ammonia adsorption was investigated. In addition, adsorption tower with height-diameter ratio of 9.9 was selected to adsorb the ammonia emitted from the composting systems of pig manure and chicken manure with optimized and reg- ulated carbon-nitrogen ratio. [Result] Under certain volatilization rate, calcium super- phosphate particles in the adsorption tower could effectively adsorb the ammonia, and the adsorption efficiency was enhanced with the increase of height-diameter ra-tio, which could reach above 90% with height-diameter ratio of more than 1.1; the ammonia emitted from composting systems of pig manure and chicken manure with optimized and regulated carbon-nitrogen ratio could be completely absorbed using adsorption tower with height-diameter ratio of 9.9 filled with calcium superphosphate accounting for about 8% of the weight of composting materials. [Conclusion] Experi- mental results of this study provided reference for the application of adsorption tower filled with calcium superphosphate in the treatment of waste gas emitted from com- posting materials.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis(SJS/TEN)are very serious skin allergies,with an etiology related to infections and medication.Since the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 has also been considered to cause SJS/TEN.CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a woman in her thirties who took acetaminophen after contracting COVID-19.After 3 d of fever relief,she experienced high fever and presented with SJS/TEN symptoms,accompanied by intrahepatic cholestasis.Three days of corticosteroid treatment did not alleviate the skin damage;therefore,double plasma molecular adsorption system(DPMAS)therapy was initiated,with treatment intervals of 48 h.Her skin symptoms improved gradually and were resolved after seven DPMAS treatments.CONCLUSION DPMAS therapy is beneficial for abrogating SJS/TEN because plasma adsorption and perfusion techniques reduce the inflammatory mediators(e.g.,tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-10 and-12)speculated to be involved in the pathology of the skin conditions.
文摘In order to improve the design of PSA system for fuel cell hydrogen production,a non-isothermal model of eight-bed PSA hydrogen process with five-component(H_(2)/N_(2)/CH_(4)/CO/CO_(2)=74.59%/0.01%/4.2%/2.5%/18.7%(vol))four-stage pressure equalization was developed in this article.The model adopts a composite adsorption bed of activated carbon and zeolite 5 A.In this article,pressure variation,temperature field and separation performance are stimulated,and also effect of providing purge(PP)differential pressure and the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A on separation performance in the process of producing industrial hydrogen(CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1))and fuel cell hydrogen(CO content is 0.2μl·L^(-1))are compared.The results show that Run 3,when the CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1),the hydrogen recovery is 89.8%,and the average flow rate of feed gas is 0.529 mol·s^(-1);When the CO content in hydrogen is 0.2μl·L^(-1),the hydrogen recovery is 85.2%,and the average flow rate of feed gas is 0.43 mol·s^(-1).With the increase of PP differential pressure,hydrogen recovery first increases and then decreases,reaching the maximum when PP differential pressure is 0.263 MPa;With the decrease of the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A,the hydrogen recovery increases gradually.When the CO content in hydrogen is 0.2μl·L^(-1) the hydrogen recovery increases more obviously,from 83.96%to 86.37%,until the ratio of activated carbon to zeolite 5 A decreases to 1.At the end of PP step,no large amount of CO_(2) in gas or solid phase enters the zeolite 5 A adsorption bed,while when the CO content in hydrogen is 10μl·L^(-1),and the ratio of carbon to zeolite 5 A is less than 1.4,more CO_(2) will enter the zeolite 5 A bed.
文摘This paper investigates the bioseparation of binary protein mixtures using polystyrene based anion exchange resin. Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode using draft-tube internally recirculate dair lift biocontactor in comparison with the conventional shake flask batch adsorption equilibrium experiments. Binary protein mixtures contained bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine haemoglobin (BHb) at different initial fractions. Results from single solute adsorption experiments in biocontactor showed that both proteins were equally adsorbed onto the resin with equilibrium reached in an equal time period. This represents similar affinities towards the negatively charged resin surface, although BSA was expected to adsorb through specific forces. Adsorption results showed that BSA has hindered the BHb adsorption in the biocontactor, although adsorption of both proteins was equally hindered in the shake flasks adsorption experiments. Moreover, adsorption of BHb was inhibited up to 29% in the presence of BSA compared to the adsorption of BHb from a solution containing single solute of BHb at the same initial concentration. Similarly, the presence of BHb has hindered the adsorption of BSA by 59%. Adsorptions of both BSA and BHb from binary solution when each formed 75% initial fraction while the other protein formed the remaining 25% were relatively low with equilibrium reached in shorter time. Moreover, considerable amount of proteins remained in the solution, which demonstrates that multilayer adsorption most likely didn’t occur at the relatively small protein concentrations used in the present study. In general, the higher adsorption of BHb can also be related to the compressibility of its molecules which allowed for higher adsorption capacity. The homogeneous and lower shear environment in the airlift biocontactor compared to the other conventional batch adsorption in shake flask reduced the compressibility of BHb that caused higher BSA adsorption from binary solutions of BSA and BHb, which allowed for better bioseparation of both proteins.

文摘Three adsorption rate rnodels are derived for multicomponent adsorption systems under either pore diffusion or surface diffusion control. The linear driving force (LDF) model is obtained by assuming a parabolic intraparticle concentration profile. Models Ⅰ and Ⅱ are obtained from the parabolic concentration layer approximation. Examples are presented to demonstrate the usage and accuracy of these models. It is shown that Model Ⅰ is suitable for batch adsorption calculations and Model Ⅱ provides a good approximation in fixed-bed adsorption pro-cesses while the LDF model should not be used in batch adsorption and may be considered acceptable in fixed-bed adsorption where the parameter Ti is relatively large.
文摘Objective To retrospectively analyze the dual plasma molecular adsorption system(DPMAS)treatment technology and the laboratory data before and after treatment in patients with liver failure and refractory hyperbilirubinemia,so as to provide a clinical basis for the prediction1andpreventionof common related complicationsM.I ethods A retrospective study was conducted on 161 cases with liver failure and 683cases with refractory hyperbilirubinemia whounderwent DPMAS treatment in our department from October 2022 to July 2024.The general clinical data characteristics,DPMAS treatment status,DPMAS-related complications,and changes in important laboratory indicators before and after the initial DPMAS treatment in both patient groups were analyzed.Results Among the 229 enrolled cases,82.53%were male,and the median age was 50 years.The cause of liver failure was hepatitis B virus infection in 84.47%,while hepatitis B accounted for only 51.47%in the other group.There were significant differences in platelets,creatinine,coagulation function,and inflammatory factor-related indicators between the two groups at baseline.The total number of DPMAS treatments given was 4471 times.The proportion of albumin used in the initial stage of treatment was significantly higher inpatients with refractory hyperbilirubinemia than that in the liver failure group,while the proportion of plasma used in the liver failure group was significantly higher(P<0.001).The most commonly used anticoagulation regimen was unfractionated heparin.A combined anticoagulation therapy regimen was used in 9.3%of the refractory hyperbilirubinemia group.The internal jugular vein was selected in nearly half of the treated cases.A peripheral vascular access pathway was the treatment option in 31.2%.The proportion of centrifugal separation was significantly higher than that of membrane separation(76.22%vs.23.78%).The incidence rate of DPMAS-related complicationswas 16%.The most common complication was bleeding,including bleeding at the puncture site(accounting for 32%of the total complications)and bleeding at nonpuncture sites(12%),followed by hypotension(22%),allergic reactions(13%)and infections(11%),respectively.The indexes of hemoglobin,platelets,total bilirubin,and C-reactive protein were significantly decreased within 24-48 hours after DPMAS treatment in both groups of patients.The prothrombin time and international normalized ratio were significantly increased in theliver failure group,while fibrinogen was significantly reduced.Conclusion DPMAS clinical application is generally safe in patients with liver disease.The most common complications are bleeding hypotension,allergic reactions,and infections,which need to be paid special attention and timely intervention to ensure the safety profile of treatment.
文摘Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles(HAP NPs)were synthesized by a one‐step hydrothermal method.The surface of HAP NPs was grafted-SH and-COOH chelating groups via in situ surface‐modification with iminodiacetic acid(IDA)and 3‐mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane(MPS)to afford dual surface‐capped nano‐amendment HAPIDA/MPS.The structure of HAP‐IDA/MPS was characterized,and its adsorption performance for Hg^(2+),Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+),Ni^(2+),Co^(2+),and Cd^(2+)was evaluated.The total adsorption capacity of 0.10 g HAP‐IDA/MPS nano‐amendment for Hg^(2+),Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+),Ni^(2+),Co^(2+),and Cd^(2+)with an initial mass concentration of 20 mg·L^(-1) reached 13.7 mg·g^(-1),about 4.3 times as much as that of HAP.Notably,HAP‐IDA/MPS nano‐amendment displayed the highest immobilization rate for Hg^(2+),possibly because of its chemical reaction with-SH to form sulfide,possessing the lowest solubility product constant among a variety of metal sulfides.

文摘Increasing attention has been paid to radioactive wastewater to direct discharge in Japan or accidental leaks.Strontium-90(90Sr)and Cobalt-60(^(60)Co)are the most hazardous nuclides in waste discharged form nuclear reactors.Because of their high solubility and long half-lives,these radioisotopes can persist for hundreds of years before decaying to negligible levels.Herein,a green and biodegradable material nanoscale zero-valent iron(nZVI)supported by bacterial cellulose particles(BCP-nZVI)is constructed for the first time to adsorb Co^(2+)and Sr^(2+)in single and binary systems.BCP-nZVI shows superior adsorption capacities of Co^(2+)and Sr^(2+)in a single system within a wide range of pH values from 5 to 7,while the coexistence of Co^(2+)adsorption inhibits the Sr^(2+)in binary system.Pseudo-second-order dynamics model and Langmuir isothermal model can be indicated the BCP-nZVI adsorption progress with 107.10 mg/g(Co^(2+))and 64.96 mg/g(Sr^(2+))maximum adsorption capacity.BCP-nZVI has outstanding stability,allowing it to be stored for more than one month with compromising its performance.More importantly,BCP-nZVI exhibits exceptional removal efficiency of Co^(2+)(92.53%)and Sr^(2+)(58.62%)removal in natural seawater systems.The mechanism investigation illustrates the high adsorption capacity of BCP-nZVI for Co^(2+)is controlled by redox and hydroxyl complexation.While Sr^(2+)is controlled by hydroxyl complexed adsorption,thus it has weak against interference by cations like Na^(+),Ca^(2+),etc.BCP-nZVI exhibits the advantages of high adsorption capacity,wide pH range,strong stability,and good applicability in natural seawater,which has excellent potential for application in radioactive ions removal.

文摘As the fundamental unit of soil,aggregates exhibit significant variations in their abilities to adsorb and desorb trace elements,depending on their size.Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of adsorption and desorption of cadmium(Cd),copper(Cu),and lead(Pb)on and from soil aggregate fractions from three layers of a calcareous soil profile in Changxing County,Zhejiang Prvince,China.The results showed that both Langmuir and Freundlich models successfully described the isothermal adsorption processes of single Cd,Cu,and Pb on different soil aggregates.Additionally,aggregates from the bottom soil layer showed the highest maximum adsorption capacity and required the lowest energy for Cd,Cu,and Pb adsorption compared to aggregates from upper soil layers.The physicochemical properties of soil aggregates were found to govern the adsorption and desorption processes of heavy metals rather than the aggregate size,wherein the contents of iron/aluminum oxides and organic matter were the most crucial influencing factors.Cadmium displayed higher mobility than Cu and Pb in different soil aggregates,and the maximum adsorption capacities of the metal ions followed the order of Pb>Cu>Cd,while their desorption rates followed the order of Cd>Cu>Pb.Additionally,the<0.053 mm microaggregates presented the lowest desorption rates for Cd,Cu,and Pb compared to other soil aggregate fractions in each soil layer.Furthermore,the orthogonal experiment results demonstrated that the competitive adsorption between metals occurred on soil aggregates in the ternary heavy metal system,but only the desorption of Pb was significantly affected by the coexistence of Cd and Cu.

文摘Tetrasodium iminodisuccinate(IDS)was used as an inhibitor in the separation of sphalerite and pyrite in the EX−Cu(II)(ethyl xanthate and Cu2+)system.The flotation test results demonstrated that IDS can effectively separate sphalerite and pyrite under low alkaline conditions.Furthermore,high-quality zinc concentrates with a Zn grade of 58.48%and a recovery of 91.24%through mixed mineral flotation were obtained.The fundamental mechanisms were investigated through surface wettability tests,adsorption capacity tests,LEIS,FTIR,and XPS.The results confirmed that IDS prevents the adsorption of EX on the surface of pyrite,thereby reducing the response and reactivity of pyrite.The introduction of IDS causes the detachment of Cu2+from the Cu-activated pyrite surface.This process allowed IDS to chelate with the Fe sites on the surface of pyrite through the-COO-and N-centered active groups.By contrast,IDS exhibits weaker adhesion on the surface of Cu-activated sphalerite,making it easily displaced by EX through competitive adsorption.

文摘In observation of efficiently utilizing the boil off gas(BOG)from onboard liquefied natural gas(LNG),storage by adsorption is employed to construct an auxiliary system for fuel storage.A typical LNG powered ship was selected,and the storage by adsorption system was designed as per the amount of BOG released during the process of charging and that from daily evaporation on the LNG storage tank.Researches were conducted experimentally and numerically on a 1 L conformable vessel typically designed for adsorbing BOG.Verification of the accuracy of the results from simulations was performed by comparing the data recorded during the charging and discharging process of methane on the vessel packed with one kind of commercially available activated carbon SAC-01(S_(BET)=1507 m^(2)·g^(-1)).Simulations were conducted further to evaluate the performance of the vessel respectively filled with activated carbon AX-21,HKUST-1,MIL-101(Cr),MOF-5.It shows that the mean relative error between the data from simulations and the experimental data is less than 5%.Results also reveal that,within the flow rates range in correspondence with the fuel consumed by the model ship's power unit under its typical working conditions,the mean temperature fluctuation within the vessel is the weakest while packing HKUST-1,which results in the largest accumulated amount of discharge.It suggests that HKUST-1 is a suitable adsorbent for storage by adsorption of BOG from on board LNG.

文摘In this study,chitosan(CS)was combined with microcrystalline cellulose(MCC)to fabricate composite hydrogel beads.These beads were further modified through blending and grafting with polyethyleneimine(PEI)to develop chitosan/microcrystalline cellulose@polyethyleneimine(CS/MCC@PEI)composite gel spheres for the efficient adsorption of diclofenac sodium(DS)from aqueous solutions.The adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),X-ray pho-toelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The CS/MCC@PEI composite exhibited a spherical morphology with a porous structure,abundant surface functional groups,and a high adsorption capac-ity of 274.84 mg/g for DS.Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model,dominated by physical adsorption,with both surface and internal diffusion influencing the adsorption rate.The Freundlich isotherm model best described the adsorption behavior,indicating multilayer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces.Environmental adaptability tests demonstrated minimal interference from co-existing anions and humic acid,while regeneration experiments confirmed excellent reusability(>77%removal after five cycles).The adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl/amino groups of the composite and DS.These findings highlight the potential of CS/MCC@PEI as a cost-effective and sustainable adsorbent for DS removal from water.

文摘The flotation separation of argentite from sphalerite using ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate(ADD)was studied.Molecular simulation(MS)calculation shows that ADD is chemisorbed on argentite and sphalerite surface in the form of S—P bond.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in Ag^(+)system was revealed by ICP,Zeta potential and XPS analyses.It is shown that the dissolved Ag^(+)from argentite surface can be absorbed on sphalerite surface in the form of silver hydroxide,and AgOH hydrophilic colloid prevents the adsorption of ADD on sphalerite surface.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions was revealed by adsorption capacity and surface wettability analyses.It is shown that the combined Zn(OH)_(2) and AgOH hydrophilic colloid leads to greater ADD adsorption capacity on argentite surface and stronger surface hydrophobicity than sphalerite.Flotation tests demonstrate that ADD enables efficient separation of argentite from sphalerite in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions.

文摘This study presents a thorough investigation into the use of single and twin-tailed cationic and anionic surfactant-modified chitosan(SMCS)hydrogel beads as effective adsorbents for the elimination of hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)from aqueous solutions.The Chitosan(CS)hydrogel beads were modified with single/twin-tailed anionic surfactants,sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate(AOT),and cationic surfactants,dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide(DTAB)and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide(DDAB),to enhance their adsorption capacity of PAHs.The CS and SMCS beads were evaluated for their structural,mechanical,and adsorption properties using a range of techniques,including infrared spectroscopy(IR),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX),rheometry,and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM).Adsorption experiments of naphthalene(Nap),acenaphthene(Ace),and phenanthrene(Phe)on SMCS beads demonstrate that they have significantly higher adsorption capacities than CS beads,due to increase in hydrophobic interactions.Adsorption capacity followed the trend,Phen>Ace>Nap for all the beads revealing that twin-tailed SMCS bead possess much higher adsorption capacities(Qmax)compared to single-tailed SMCS beads.For twin tailed surfactants,the maximum adsorption capacities for Nap,Ace and Phe varied as CS-AOT(CS-DDAB):430.0(323.8)611.60(538.18)633.39(536.99)mg/g respectively,outperforming other reported hydrogel beads.The study highlights the simplicity,eco-friendliness,and enhanced performance of surfactant modification for developing high-efficiency adsorbents,paving the way for cost-effective solutions in water re-mediation.

文摘In order to address the evolving emission characteristics of oxygenated volatile organic compounds(OVOCs),it is essential to develop adsorbent materials specifically designed for the efficient adsorption of OVOCs with large kinetic diameters.In this study,we used co-pyrolysis to prepare a series of graded porous carbon materials with well-developed micropores by adjusting the doping ratios of root nodules and pretreated cellulose.The material with root nodule to cellulose mass ratio of 1:1(TCC-RN-1)exhibited the highest saturated adsorption capacity for butyl acetate(834 mg/g).This can be attributed to enhanced pore size distribution from nodule doping,which facilitates the development of a micropore-graded structure.Additionally,the nodules acted as auxiliary activating agents that enhanced the KOH micropore regulation effect during the activation stage,resulting in the highest micropore volume(0.863 cm^(3)/g).The doping of root nodules facilitated the formation of additional defects on the surface of the porous carbon material,leading to a more disordered arrangement that improved pollutant adsorption.Furthermore,TCC-RN-1 demonstrated good thermal stability in an air atmosphere,main-taining a butyl acetate adsorption capacity exceeding 95%after five adsorption-desorption cycles.This indicates its favorable potential for industrial applications.

文摘Recently,reactive oxygen species(ROS)-independent mimetics of oxidase with Au nanoclusters(NCs)as the catalysts and MnO_(2)as electron acceptor have gained attention.In this study,we aim to explore the oxidase-mimicking potential of bovine serum albumin(BSA)-templated metal nanoclusters(BSA-M NCs,where M=Ag,Pt,Cu,or Cd)beyond Au NCs in boosting the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)by MnO_(2),denoted as BM@Metal.The oxidase-mimetic activity of BM@Metal is independent of ROS and generally enhanced by the incorporation of metal nanoclusters.Notably,this enhancement varies with the metal species,with BSA-Cd exhibiting the highest activity.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis confirms mixed valence states(Mn(Ⅳ)/Mn(Ⅱ))in BM@Cd.Given that the catalytic activity is closely linked to the substrate adsorption,the label-free isothermal titration calorimetry was employed to probe the affinity between TMB and BSA-M NCs,which provides a robust approach for probing the interface adsorption.The results reveal that the superior catalytic performance of BSA-Cd correlates with enhanced TMB adsorption,likely facilitated by coordination and hydrophobic interactions.Finally,the superior catalytic performance of BSA-M NCs on the oxidation of TMB by MnO_(2)has inspired us to fabricate the assay for analyzing α-glucosidase’s activity.This work not only demonstrates the versatility of metal NCs in constructing ROS-independent oxidase mimetics but also provides interfacial adsorption engineered strategy for the rational design of superior ROS independent mimetics of natural oxidase.

文摘Porous carbon microspheres are widely regarded as a superior CO_(2) adsorbent due to their exceptional efficiency and affordability.However,better adsorption performance is very attractive for porous carbon microspheres.And modification of the pore structure is one of the effective strategies.In this study,multi-cavity mesoporous carbon microspheres were successfully synthesized by the synergistic method of soft and hard templates,during which a phenolic resin with superior thermal stability was employed as the carbon precursor and a mixture of silica sol and F108 as the mesoporous template.Carbon microspheres with multi-cavity mesoporous structures were prepared,and all the samples showed highly even mesopores,with diameters around 12 nm.The diameter of these microspheres decreased from 396.8 nm to about 182.5 nm with the increase of silica sol.After CO_(2) activation,these novel carbon microspheres(APCF0.5-S1.75)demonstrated high specific surface area(983.3 m^(2)/g)and remarkable CO_(2) uptake of 4.93 mmol/g at 0℃ and1 bar.This could be attributed to the unique multi-cavity structure,which offers uniform mesoporous pore channels,minimal CO_(2) transport of and a greater number of active sites for CO_(2) adsorption.

文摘Metal hydrides with high hydrogen density provide promising hydrogen storage paths for hydrogen transportation.However,the requirement of highly pure H_(2)for re-hydrogenation limits its wide application.Here,amorphous Al_(2)O_(3)shells(10 nm)were deposited on the surface of highly active hydrogen storage material particles(MgH_(2)-ZrTi)by atomic layer deposition to obtain MgH_(2)-ZrTi@Al_(2)O_(3),which have been demonstrated to be air stable with selective adsorption of H_(2)under a hydrogen atmosphere with different impurities(CH_(4),O_(2),N_(2),and CO_(2)).About 4.79 wt%H_(2)was adsorbed by MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)at 75℃under 10%CH_(4)+90%H_(2)atmosphere within 3 h with no kinetic or density decay after 5 cycles(~100%capacity retention).Furthermore,about 4 wt%of H_(2)was absorbed by MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)under 0.1%O_(2)+0.4%N_(2)+99.5%H_(2)and 0.1%CO_(2)+0.4%N_(2)+99.5%H_(2)atmospheres at 100℃within 0.5 h,respectively,demonstrating the selective hydrogen absorption of MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)in both oxygen-containing and carbon dioxide-containing atmospheres hydrogen atmosphere.The absorption and desorption curves of MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)with and without absorption in pure hydrogen and then in 21%O_(2)+79%N_(2)for 1 h were found to overlap,further confirming the successful shielding effect of Al_(2)O_(3)shells against O_(2)and N_(2).The MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)has been demonstrated to be air stable and have excellent selective hydrogen absorption performance under the atmosphere with CH_(4),O_(2),N_(2),and CO_(2).
文摘[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the adsorption properties of the adsorption tower filled with calcium superphosphate on ammonia volatilized with aer- ation. [Method] Adsorption tower filled with calcium superphosphate was adopted as experimental apparatus, which was constructed by poly vinyl chloride （PVC） circular tubes. With hartshorn as the source of ammonia volatilization, the effect of different ratios of height to diameter of the tower filled with equal amount of calcium super-phosphate on ammonia adsorption was investigated. In addition, adsorption tower with height-diameter ratio of 9.9 was selected to adsorb the ammonia emitted from the composting systems of pig manure and chicken manure with optimized and reg- ulated carbon-nitrogen ratio. [Result] Under certain volatilization rate, calcium super- phosphate particles in the adsorption tower could effectively adsorb the ammonia, and the adsorption efficiency was enhanced with the increase of height-diameter ra-tio, which could reach above 90% with height-diameter ratio of more than 1.1; the ammonia emitted from composting systems of pig manure and chicken manure with optimized and regulated carbon-nitrogen ratio could be completely absorbed using adsorption tower with height-diameter ratio of 9.9 filled with calcium superphosphate accounting for about 8% of the weight of composting materials. [Conclusion] Experi- mental results of this study provided reference for the application of adsorption tower filled with calcium superphosphate in the treatment of waste gas emitted from com- posting materials.

文摘Background and Aims:To investigate the safety and efficacy of double plasma molecular adsorption system(DPMAS)with sequential low-dose plasma exchange(LPE)in treating early hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF).Methods:Clinical data of patients with HBVACLF were prospectively collected,including patients in a DPMAS with sequential LPE(DPMAS+LPE)group and those in a standard medical treatment(SMT)group.The primary endpoint was death or liver transplantation(LT)at 12 weeks of follow-up.Propensity-score matching was performed to control the effects of confounding factors on prognosis between the two groups.Results:After 2 weeks,total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase,blood urea nitrogen levels,and Chinese Group on the Study of Severe Hepatitis B score,were significantly lower in the DPMAS+LPE group than those in the SMT group(p<0.05).After 4 weeks,laboratory parameters of the two groups were similar.The cumulative survival rate of the DPMAS+LPE group was significantly higher than that of the SMT group at 4 weeks(97.9%vs.85.4%,p=0.027),but not at 12 weeks(85.4%vs.83.3%,p=0.687).Cytokine levels were significantly lower in 12-week survival group than in the death-or-LT group(p<0.05).Functional enrichment analysis showed that downregulated cytokines were mainly involved in positive regulation of proliferation and activation of lymphocytes and monocytes,regulation of immune effect response,regulation of endotoxin response,and glial cell proliferation.Conclusion:DPMAS+LPE significantly improved the 4-week cumulative survival rate,and ameliorated the inflammatory response in patients.DPMAS+LPE may be a promising modality for patients with early HBV-ACLF.
