Herein, a novel molecularly imprinted gel (MIG)-based electrochemical sensor equipped with hydrated zirconium oxide@hollow carbon spheres (ZrO(OH) 2 @HCS) was developed for highly sensitive and selective detection of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in foods. The MIG was synthesized by using L-histidine to rapidly cross-link cationic guar gum, acrylamide and TBHQ through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions at room temperature, which offered outstanding specific recognition performance for TBHQ. ZrO(OH) 2 @HCS possessing excellent conductivity and water dispersibility was employed for signal amplification. Under optimal conditions, the MIG-ZrO(OH) 2 @HCS/GCE sensor showed a wide dynamic detection range (0.025–100 μM) with a low limit of detection (6.7 nM). TBHQ recovery experiments were conducted in spiked peanut oil and milk powder, yielding excellent recoveries. Moreover, the sensor was successfully utilized to detect TBHQ levels in snowflake chicken cutlets, crispy fried pork and boneless chicken fillets, and the results were in agreement with those obtained by the high performance liquid chromatography method.

Graphical In situ generated catalyst system: HCl/ZrO(OH) 2 catalysts are prepared in situ by the autonomous decomposition of ZrOCl 2 ⋅ 8 H 2 O in levulinic acid (LA)/2-butanol solution. The esterification of LA was catalyzed in tandem with hydrocyclization to γ-valerolactone (GVL) by Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction. This is the first report of HCl/ZrO(OH) 2 catalysts prepared in situ by the autonomous decomposition of ZrOCl 2 ⋅ 8 H 2 O in levulinic acid (LA)/2-butanol solution, which catalyzed the esterification of LA in tandem with hydrocyclization to γ-valerolactone (GVL) by Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reduction without the use of external H 2 . A maximum GVL yield of 92.4 % from neat LA and a GVL formation rate of 1092.2 μmol g −1 min −1 were achieved in 2-butanol at 240 °C in 2 h. The in situ generated ZrO(OH) 2 was characterized comprehensively and its unexpected catalytic efficiency was attributed mainly to its extremely high surface area. A crude LA stream from the acid hydrolysis of cellulose was extracted into 2-butanol and subjected to this catalyst system to give a GVL yield of 82.0 % even in the presence of humins.

To circumvent the liquid-solid separation and dispersion of the powdered adsorbent during adsorption-desorption circulation, using a drop-oil sol-gel method, the spherical ZrO(OH) 2 /AlOOH hybrid composite beads were prepared as an adsorbent for sulfate adsorption removal from water. The preparation mechanism was proposed and discussed in term of the characterization results showing that the as-prepared beads is an amorphous mesoporous material constructed from nanoflakes composed of rod-like nanoparticles, and possesses a good sphericity, a relatively high specific surface area (195.56 m 2 /g) and adequate mechanic strength (Zr/Al(0.2)-30-3.5, 32.1 N). The adsorption tests indicated that the saturated adsorption capacity increases with sulfate concentration and decreases with prolongation of adsorbent drying time, owing to the reduction of water content, the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 205 mg/g (Zr/Al(0.2)-30-2). This work has a profound significance for the further research and industrial application of spherical adsorbent related to hydrate zirconia in fixed adsorption bed.

A series of low-cost readily-assembled eco-friendly metal hydroxides were examined as catalysts in the synthesis of a novel platform molecule, γ-valerolactone (GVL), from biomass-derived ethyl levulinate (EL) via hydrogen transfer reaction. Among these catalysts, ZrO(OH) 2 · x H 2 O was found to be most active. EL conversion of 93.6% and GVL selectivity of 94.5% were achieved when 2-propanol was used as a hydrogen donor at 473 K with a reaction time of only 1 h. The complete reaction pathway and the probable main by-products for the conversion of EL to GVL were clearly deduced for the first time. The ZrO(OH) 2 · x H 2 O catalyst could be reused at least ten times without any significant loss of catalytic activity. Furthermore, characterizations were carried out on the fresh and spent ZrO(OH) 2 · x H 2 O catalysts with XRD, FT-IR, BET, TGA-DTA. Combined with the results of poisoning experiments, a plausible mechanism for catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of EL to GVL was proposed to be consisted of a catalytic cycle involving a six member ring transition state.
