The influences of heating temperature on the structure and composition of the product were investigated through XRD and SEM. The results show that the powder is spherical in the phase of TiO2-Ag2SO4. The granularity of the particles increases from 10.7nm to 28.7nm with the temperature of heat-treatment increasing from 300℃ to 800℃. The antibacterial activity of the powder was judged in the way of the minimum inhibitory contents （MiCs）. When the content of silver sulfate is less than 2%, the photocatalysis of titanium dioxide and silver ions cooperate to kill bacteria. And the MiCs decrease and keep around 1.0×10 -41.5×10 -4 constantly with the increase of silver content. Furthermore, the MiCs decrease with the increase of temperature of heat-treatment when the temperature is lower than 500℃. But when the temperature is beyond 600℃ the MiCs increase quickly, which shows the inferior antibacterial performance.展开更多

The structure, photocatalysis and bacteriostatic activity of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XRPS）, photocatalytic performance, and antibacterial activity experiments. The XRD results showed that the average particle diameter of Sm/Ag/TiO2 was 14.62 nm and Ag and Sm ions were dispersed on the surface of TiO2 in a highly dispersed, amorphous form. The TEM image showed that the size of the particle was 12 nm using the scherer formula. The XPS result showed that the element Sm was doped and Ag was loaded inorganic nanomaterials successfully. Sm/Ag/TiO2 exhibited optimal photocatalytic properties at 600 oC, the photocatalytic optimal proportion of Sm/Ag/TiO2 was 2：2：100. When the molar ratio was 2：2：100, the bacteriostatic circle diameter was 16 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, the minimum bacteriostatic concentration was 200μg/mL for white beads coccus, and the minimum bactericidal concentration was 2×10^4μg/mL for white beads coccus. The SEM results showed that the antibacterial material attached to the candida albicans cell surface, cells appeared fold deformation. Therefore the inorganic nanomaterials Sm/Ag/TiO2 had high temperature resistance, good photocatalytic and antibacterial characteristics in visible light.展开更多
Solubility of the silver nitrate in the supercritical carbon dioxide containing ethanol and ethylene glycol as double cosolvents was measured under certain pressure and temperature range(10–25 MPa, 323.15–333.15 K)....Solubility of the silver nitrate in the supercritical carbon dioxide containing ethanol and ethylene glycol as double cosolvents was measured under certain pressure and temperature range(10–25 MPa, 323.15–333.15 K). The impact of the pressure and temperature on the solubility was also investigated. Based on the experiment data,a correlation model concerning solid's solubility in supercritical fluids was established by combining the solubility parameter with the thermodynamic equation when a binary interaction parameter and a mixed solvent solubility parameter were defined. Experiments show the solubility of AgNO_3 increases with the pressure at a certain temperature. However, the influence of temperature is related to a pressure defined as the turnover pressure(12.3 MPa). When the pressure is higher(or lower) than this turnover pressure, silver nitrate's solubility shows increasing(or decreasing) trend as the temperature rises. Satisfactory accuracy of our presented model was revealed by comparing experimental data with calculated results.展开更多

The NPs were prepared by first modifying the surface of TiO2 NPs with vinyl groups and then copolymerizing them with vinyl thiophen. The resulting TiO2-polythiophene core-shell NPs were characterized by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. The experimental conditions such as pH value, adsorption and desorption time, type, concentration and volume of the eluent, break through volume, and effect of potentially interfering ions were optimized. The ions were then desorbed with hydrochloric acid and determined by FAAS. The limits of detection are 0.4 and 1.2 μg·L_1 for Cu(II) and Ag(I), respectively, and recoveries and precisions are >98.0%展开更多

Traditi...This study investigates the application of carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration to address challenges in water-drive gas reservoirs, specifically focusing on improving gas recovery and mitigating water invasion. Traditional methods like blow-down and co-production have limitations, including sand production, water coning, and inefficiency in strong aquifers. To overcome these issues, this research explores CO2 injection near the edge aquifer, aiming to reduce water influx and enhance gas recovery through the propagation of a CO2 plume in the gas-water contact zone. Both synthetic and real compositional reservoir models were studied, with CO2 injection performed while maintaining reservoir pressure below 90% of the initial level. Results show that CO2 sequestration significantly improved recovery, particularly in higher permeability reservoirs, where it reduced aquifer influx and increased gas production by 26% under challenging conditions. While CO2 dissolution in water decreased aquifer influx by 39%, its adverse effect on sweep efficiency led to a reduction in gas and water production by 4.2% and 10%, respectively. The method's effectiveness was not significantly impacted by aquifer permeability, but it was sensitive to vertical-to-horizontal permeability ratios. When applied to a real gas reservoir, the proposed method increased gas production by 14% compared to conventional techniques, with minimal CO2 production over a 112-year period. This study demonstrates the potential of CO2 sequestration as a comprehensive solution for enhancing gas recovery, reducing water production, and mitigating environmental impacts in water-drive gas reservoirs.展开更多

Herein, we report the silver( I)-catalyzed carboxylative cyclization of a variety of alkynic hydrazones with carbon dioxide to produce the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions. In this reaction, silver(I) salts play a π-Lewis acid role for the highly efficient activation of the alkyne moiety in the hydrazone substrates. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and NOE experiments confirm that the newly formed oxadiazinone products exhibit Z configuration. Based on control experiments and NMR studies, a mechanism including the formation of a reactive carbazate intermediate, electrophilic cyclization, and subsequent protonation is proposed. This study offers an efficient and atom- economical method for the synthesis of biologically important 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones.展开更多

文摘Antibacterial powders of titanium dioxide/silver sulfate were produced by heat-treatment of the metatitanic acid, as precursor, into which the silver nitrate was added. The influences of heating temperature on the structure and composition of the product were investigated through XRD and SEM. The results show that the powder is spherical in the phase of TiO2-Ag2SO4. The granularity of the particles increases from 10.7nm to 28.7nm with the temperature of heat-treatment increasing from 300℃ to 800℃. The antibacterial activity of the powder was judged in the way of the minimum inhibitory contents （MiCs）. When the content of silver sulfate is less than 2%, the photocatalysis of titanium dioxide and silver ions cooperate to kill bacteria. And the MiCs decrease and keep around 1.0×10 -41.5×10 -4 constantly with the increase of silver content. Furthermore, the MiCs decrease with the increase of temperature of heat-treatment when the temperature is lower than 500℃. But when the temperature is beyond 600℃ the MiCs increase quickly, which shows the inferior antibacterial performance.

文摘Colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC)is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality worldwide.Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2),E171),a widely used food additive,has been insufficiently studied regarding its effects on macrophages within colon tumors during CAC development.In this study,CAC mouse models were used to investigate the biological impact of dietary E171 on macrophages in vivo,while lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cell lines were employed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro.We found that dietary E171 intake accelerated CAC development,exacerbated inflammatory responses and oxidative stress,and upregulated CAC-associated genes,including S100a8,S100a9,Lcn2,S100a11,Cxcl2,and interleukin-1α(Il-1α).E171 also increased the expression of S100A8,S100A9,NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3(NLRP3),and gasdermin-D Nterminal(GSDMD-N)in macrophages within colon tumors.In inflammatory macrophages,E171 exposure enhanced cell viability,increased reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels,and elevated the expression and secretion of S100A8 and S100A9,consistent with in vivo histological observations.Furthermore,E171-induced secretion of S100A8 and S100A9 in macrophages was suppressed by specific inhibitors,including N-acetylcysteine(NAC,ROS inhibitor),MCC950(NLRP3 inhibitor),Z-YVAD-FMK(caspase 1 inhibitor),disulfiram(GSDMD inhibitor),and transfection of NLRP3 small interfering ribonucleic acid(siRNA).These results indicate that dietary E171 promotes CAC development by activating macrophages,with S100A8 and S100A9 serving as key mediators,and the NLRP3/caspase 1/GSDMD pathway acting as a critical mechanism.

文摘Solubility of the silver nitrate in the supercritical carbon dioxide containing ethanol and ethylene glycol as double cosolvents was measured under certain pressure and temperature range(10–25 MPa, 323.15–333.15 K). The impact of the pressure and temperature on the solubility was also investigated. Based on the experiment data,a correlation model concerning solid's solubility in supercritical fluids was established by combining the solubility parameter with the thermodynamic equation when a binary interaction parameter and a mixed solvent solubility parameter were defined. Experiments show the solubility of AgNO_3 increases with the pressure at a certain temperature. However, the influence of temperature is related to a pressure defined as the turnover pressure(12.3 MPa). When the pressure is higher(or lower) than this turnover pressure, silver nitrate's solubility shows increasing(or decreasing) trend as the temperature rises. Satisfactory accuracy of our presented model was revealed by comparing experimental data with calculated results.

文摘Morphology and growth rate of carbon dioxide hydrate on the interface between liquid carbon dioxide and humic acid solutions were studied in this work.It was found that after the growth of the hydrate film at the interface,further growth of hydrate due to the suction of water in the capillary system formed between the wall of the cuvette and the end boundary of the hydrate layer occurs.Most probably,substantial effects on the formation of this capillary system may be caused by variations in reactor wall properties,for example,hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance,roughness,etc.We found,that the rate of CO_(2) hydrate film growth on the surface of the humic acid aqueous solution is 4-fold to lower in comparison with the growth rate on the surface of pure water.We suppose that this is caused by the adsorption of humic acid associates on the surface of hydrate particles and,as a consequence,by the deceleration of the diffusion of dissolved carbon dioxide to the growing hydrate particle.
文摘We report on the use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with poly-thiophene for the preconcentration of copper and silverions. The NPs were prepared by first modifying the surface of TiO2 NPs with vinyl groups and then copolymerizing them with vinyl thiophen. The resulting TiO2-polythiophene core-shell NPs were characterized by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. The experimental conditions such as pH value, adsorption and desorption time, type, concentration and volume of the eluent, break through volume, and effect of potentially interfering ions were optimized. The ions were then desorbed with hydrochloric acid and determined by FAAS. The limits of detection are 0.4 and 1.2 μg·L_1 for Cu(II) and Ag(I), respectively, and recoveries and precisions are >98.0%

文摘The adsorption behaviors of ciprofloxacin(CIP),a fluoroquinolone antibiotic,onto goethite(Gt)in the presence of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles(AgNPs and TiO_(2)NPs)were investigated.Results showed that CIP adsorption kinetics in Gt with or without NPs both followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.The presence of AgNPs or TiO_(2)NPs inhibited the adsorption of CIP by Gt.The amount of inhibition of CIP sorption due to AgNPs was decreased with an increase of solution pH from 5.0 to 9.0.In contrast,in the presence of TiO_(2)NPs,CIP adsorption by Gt was almost unchanged at pHs of 5.0∼6.5 but was decreased with an increase of pH from 6.5 to 9.0.The mechanisms of AgNPs and TiO_(2)NPs in inhibiting CIP adsorption by Gt were different,which was attributed to citrate coating of AgNPs resulting in competition with CIP for adsorption sites on Gt,while TiO_(2)NPs could compete with Gt for CIP adsorption.Additionally,CIP was adsorbed by Gt or TiO_(2)NPs through a tridentate complex involving the bidentate inner-sphere coordination of the deprotonated carboxylic group and hydrogen bonding through the adjacent carbonyl group on the quinoline ring.These findings advance our understanding of the environmental behavior and fate of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in the presence of NPs.

文摘Confinement effect is an effective method to enhance carbon dioxide(CO_(2))solubility.In this study,a hybrid sorbent of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide([Hmim][NTf_2])/mesoporous titanium dioxide(M-TiO_(2))/water(H_2O)was developed,and its confinement effect was regulated by changing the pore structure of M-TiO_(2).CO_(2) solubility in the hybrid sorbent was measured experimentally,and the thermodynamic properties including Henry's constant and desorption enthalpy were calculated.Furthermore,the confinement effect in the hybrid sorbent was quantified.Additionally,the hybrid sorbent was recycled with a multi-cycle experiment.The results showed that M-TiO_(2) calcined at 773.2 K(MT500)could lead to an efficient confinement effect.CO_(2) solubility in the hybrid sorbent increased by 49.8%compared to that of H_2O when the mass fraction of[Hmim][NTf_2]/MT500 was 5.0%(mass),where the contribution of confinement effect on Gibbs free energy occupied 5.2%.
文摘This study investigates the application of carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration to address challenges in water-drive gas reservoirs, specifically focusing on improving gas recovery and mitigating water invasion. Traditional methods like blow-down and co-production have limitations, including sand production, water coning, and inefficiency in strong aquifers. To overcome these issues, this research explores CO2 injection near the edge aquifer, aiming to reduce water influx and enhance gas recovery through the propagation of a CO2 plume in the gas-water contact zone. Both synthetic and real compositional reservoir models were studied, with CO2 injection performed while maintaining reservoir pressure below 90% of the initial level. Results show that CO2 sequestration significantly improved recovery, particularly in higher permeability reservoirs, where it reduced aquifer influx and increased gas production by 26% under challenging conditions. While CO2 dissolution in water decreased aquifer influx by 39%, its adverse effect on sweep efficiency led to a reduction in gas and water production by 4.2% and 10%, respectively. The method's effectiveness was not significantly impacted by aquifer permeability, but it was sensitive to vertical-to-horizontal permeability ratios. When applied to a real gas reservoir, the proposed method increased gas production by 14% compared to conventional techniques, with minimal CO2 production over a 112-year period. This study demonstrates the potential of CO2 sequestration as a comprehensive solution for enhancing gas recovery, reducing water production, and mitigating environmental impacts in water-drive gas reservoirs.

文摘The development of new catalytic methodologies to synthesize heterocyclic fine chemicals using carbon dioxide as a synthon has attracted considerable attention. Herein, we report the silver( I)-catalyzed carboxylative cyclization of a variety of alkynic hydrazones with carbon dioxide to produce the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions. In this reaction, silver(I) salts play a π-Lewis acid role for the highly efficient activation of the alkyne moiety in the hydrazone substrates. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and NOE experiments confirm that the newly formed oxadiazinone products exhibit Z configuration. Based on control experiments and NMR studies, a mechanism including the formation of a reactive carbazate intermediate, electrophilic cyclization, and subsequent protonation is proposed. This study offers an efficient and atom- economical method for the synthesis of biologically important 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones.

文摘The photocatalytic reduction of CO_(2)is a crucial area of research aimed at addressing the dual challenges of mitigating rising CO_(2)emissions and producing sustainable chemical feedstocks.While multielectron reduction pathways for CO_(2)are well explored,the single electron reduction to produce the highly reactive carbon dioxide radical anion(CO_(2)^(·-))remains challenging yet promising for green organic transformations.This review contributes to the field by providing a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms,materials,and reaction pathways involved in CO_(2)^(·-)generation,focusing on the use of visible-lightdriven photocatalytic materials to circumvent the need for high-energy ultraviolet irradiation.Through a systematic examination of CO_(2)^(·-)production,detection methods,and chemical utilization in photocatalytic carboxylation reactions,this review advances understanding of the chemistry of CO_(2)^(·-)and its applications in sustainable chemical synthesis.In addition,it highlights existing key challenges,such as redox potential limitations,and proposes strategies for scaling up photocatalytic systems to enable practical application.By illuminating the pathway to effectively photocatalyze CO_(2)^(·-)generation and its transformative potential in sustainable chemical synthesis,this review equips scientists with critical insights and strategic approaches for overcoming current limitations,driving innovation in photocatalytic materials for solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

文摘Mineral exploration under exotic overburden has been a great challenge in exploration geochemistry.Gas geochemical measurement is a potential method for mineral exploration due to the characteristics of strong penetrability and vertical migration.The previous rapid gas analyzer cannot determine low concentrations of soil gases because of inadequate sensitivity,therefore,it is necessary to develop a more sensitive analytical technique.In this paper,the pilot studies on CO_(2) and SO_(2) geochemical measurements were performed at the Zhuxi W-(Cu)deposit,Jiapigou gold ore-concentrated area,and Tukuzbay gold deposit.This study employed rapid gas analyzer based on Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy and Electrochemical Analysis,which can detect low concentrations of CO_(2) and SO_(2) and greatly improve the reliability of test data.The results show that CO_(2) and SO_(2) show clear anomalies over deeply concealed ore bodies and faults,demonstrating that CO_(2) and SO_(2) anomalies can reveal indicative information about concealed mineralization and faults.Moreover,CO_(2) and SO_(2) anomalies can identify mineralization information exceeding 1,000 m in depth,suggesting that this method has large detection depth.Therefore,CO_(2) and SO_(2) geochemical measurement method is a feasible tool to discern deeply concealed mineralization and faults,and can provide a new idea in prospecting for concealed ore deposits in covered areas.

文摘Using thermogravimetric experiments,the kinetic characteristics of magnesite thermal decomposition were investigated under the condition of 10%(vol) CO_(2) in the actual production atmosphere of an entrained-flow dynamic roasting furnace.Based on a multi-method collaborative framework,the three kinetic factors in the magnesite thermal decomposition process were systematically calculated through parameter cross-verification between the Hu-Gao-Zhang integral method and the Kissinger differential method.The kinetic mechanism was initially screened by the double equal and double step method and further determined by combining with the Malek maximum probability method.The study revealed that CO_(2) in the atmosphere exerts an inhibitory effect on the decomposition of carbonate species within magnesite.Furthermore,the presence of impurities(e.g.,calcium carbonate)was found to interfere with the determination of reaction mechanisms via Malek's method at elevated temperatures.The results show that in a 10%(vol)CO_(2)atmosphere,the main decomposition temperature of magnesite ranges from 550℃ to 650℃,the average activation energy is 66.00 k J·mol^(-1),the pre-exponential factor is 1.05×10^(5)s^(-1),and the decomposition process conforms to the random nucleation and growth model.

文摘Laparoscopic liver resection(LLR)is currently the first-linetreatment for multiple liver diseases.Although clinical data have proven its safety and effectiveness,bleeding and carbon dioxide(CO_(2))embolism are still the major complications of LLR.The objective of this review was to summarize the pathogenetic mechanism,clinical manifestations,risk factors,prophylactic measures,and treatment strategies for CO_(2) embolism in LLR and propose further research directions regarding these controversial issues.A narrative review of the literature from three databases,including PubMed,Embase,and Web of Science,was conducted without any date or language restrictions.The search terms included CO_(2) embolism,gas embolism,laparoscopy,liver resection,and hepatectomy.The incidence of CO_(2) embolism in LLR(1.2%–4.6%)is approximately 10 times greater than that in overall laparoscopic surgery(0.15%).Transesophageal echocardiogram is currently considered the gold standard for identifying CO_(2) embolism.Risk factors are multifactorial and involve patient characteristics,procedural techniques,and anesthetic management.Presently,in clinical practice,a pneumoperitoneal pressure of 10–15 mmHg is typically used to balance bleeding and CO_(2) embolism during LLR.The majority of observed CO_(2) embolism events are benign,with no significantclinical impact on short-term or long-term outcomes.However,meticulous monitoring,timely recognition,and prompt intervention are crucial during LLR to prevent life-threatening events.Future research should further refinerisk stratification,validate early detection methods,and develop standardized management protocols for CO_(2) embolism in LLR.

文摘Dimensionality has great influence on the photo/electro-catalysts properties of covalent organic frameworks(COFs) because of the different electronic and porous structures.However,very rare attention has been paid on the dimensionality and function correlations of COF materials.In the present work,one new two-dimensional phthalocyanine COF,namely 2D-NiPc-COF,and one new three-dimensional phthalocyanine COF,namely 3D-NiPc-COF,were fabricated according to the imide reaction between tetraanhydrides of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octacarboxyphthalocyaninato nickel(Ⅱ) with [2,2-bipyridine]-5,5-diamine and tetrakis(4-aminophenyl) methane,respectively.The crystalline structures of both COFs are verified by the powder X-ray diffraction analysis,computational simulation,and high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurement.Notably,3D-NiPc-COF with dispersed conjugated modules has high utilization efficiency of NiPc electroactive sites of 26.8%,almost two times higher than the in-plane stacking2D-NiPc-COF measured by electrochemical measurement,in turn resulting in its superior electrocatalytic performance with high CO_(2)-to-CO Faradaic efficiency over 90% in a wide potential window,a large partial CO current density of-13.97 mA/cm^(2) at-0.9 V(vs.reversible hydrogen electrode) to 2D-NiPc-COF.Moreover,3D-NiPc-COF has higher turnover number and turnover frequency of 5741.6 and 0.18 s^(-1) at-0.8 V during 8 h lasting measurement.The present work provides an example for the investigation on the correlation between dimensionality and electrochemical properties of 2D and 3D phthalocyanine COFs.
文摘Concrete is one of the key component in the construction field.The importance of concrete is because of its strength and long lasting properties.The incorporation of nano materials in concrete helps to improve the characteristics of conventional concrete.Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))is one such nanomaterial that helps to increase the performance of concrete by enhancing self-cleaning,anti-microbial and anti-bacterial activities.This paper briefly explains about the reaction of titanium dioxide nano particle N-TiO_(2) on cement materials which in turn changes the mechanical and physical properties of concrete against chemical,climatic changes and abrasion.The review presented here includes the features of titanium dioxide nano particles basically,its dosage in concrete,its impact on concrete on both fresh and hardened properties,photo catalytic effect and anti-microbial.This review explores the photo catalytic degradation of concrete enhanced with N-TiO_(2),which presents a promising method for improving the durability and sustainability of concrete structures.The addition of N-TiO_(2),recognized for its photo catalytic properties when exposed to UV light,has demonstrated potential in tackling various environmental and structural challenges associated with concrete.The paper provides a detailed analysis of the mechanisms involved in the photo catalytic process,the way N-TiO_(2) particles aid in breaking down pollutants(including organic compounds,NOx,and CO₂),and its contributions to self-cleaning,antimicrobial functions,and the degradation of harmful pollutants.
