Production of 5-HMF from cellulose is a promising approach for advanced bio-fuels preparation, but the degradation of active 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a critical challenge affecting 5-HMF selectivity. To address this issue, biphasic reaction system consisting of water and organic solvent is generally used to in-situ extract 5-HMF into organic phase to inhibit product degradation. Despite the high 5-HMF selectivity achieved in biphasic system, low product concentration and difficulty in separation restrict its industrial applications. Molten salt hydrate (MSH) is unique in cellulose conversion and 5-HMF preservation. In this work, MSH of LiBr was used as monophasic solvent for cellulose conversion and an acidity tunable solid acid AlSiO-x was used as the catalyst. It was found that a relatively high 5-HMF yield of 44.5% together with carbon balance of 75.0% were obtained at 170 °C for 20 min, which is higher than the results ever reported. Importantly, this work proved that the ratio of total Brønsted to Lewis acid sites on solid acid is the key issue affected 5-HMF yield. After reaction, solid acid can be recycled for more than 5 times without catalytic performance decline, and the dissolved 5-HMF can be sufficiently separated from MSH via hyper cross-linked polymer (HCP) adsorption.

It is of great significance to develop an affordable and environmentally friendly method for producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural from inexpensive and abundant agricultural waste. Herein, FePO4 combined with organic acids such as mandelic acid were used as catalysts in a one-pot catalytic conversion of untreated wheat straw into HMF and furfural in a two-phase system of THF/H2O saturated by NaCl. H+, Fe(OH)2+, and Fe(OH)2+ originated from partially dissolved FePO4 in hot water together with organic acids provided Brønsted and Lewis acid sites for the cascade conversion of wheat straw. Whereas organic acid could regulate the concentrations of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites to promote the dehydration process of fructose and hinder the production of by-products and humins, boosting the yield of HMF and furfural. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the reaction conditions. The highest yield of HMF was 62.9% at 200 °C and 120 min, which is higher than the reported yield of HMF using lignocellulose as raw material in the current literature. Furfural has also achieved a higher yield (93.9%) at 180 °C and 90 min. This study demonstrates the rationality of the deployment of lignocellulose to produce furan compounds by organic acids and FePO4, providing the possibility for efficient production of HMF and furfural from recalcitrant agricultural waste.

Besides being a luminescent material, cytidine 5′-monophosphate-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@CMP) also show superior peroxidase-like activity which can promote TMB oxidation in the presence of H2O2, causing the solution to turn efficiently from pale to blue. However, the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the above system inhibited TMB oxidation and bluing of the solution, consequently establishing a colorimetric platform of AuNCs/H2O2/TMB for PFOS determination. The results showed that it responded to PFOS over a wide range of 2.0–50 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 150 nM. Furthermore, in-depth mechanism investigation revealed that, rather than the active site of the catalyst being occupied by PFOS, such a hypochromatic effect originated from depletion of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) by PFOS degradation, thereby also offering a unique strategy to scavenge the lethal toxicity of PFOS. In addition, the colorimetric response of AuNCs/H2O2/TMB to PFOS was extended to smartphone determination conveniently based on RGB values. Finally, the established platform was applied to PFOS determination both in soil extracts and in tap water with good recovery, which supplies a novel colorimetric platform for visual determination of PFOS in practice. The method has the advantages of being rapid, sensitive and highly selective, which highlight the design and construction of more systems for determination and elimination of lethal pollutants in environmental water.

The Schiff base ligand (5-bromosalicylaldehyde)-2-aminophenol (H 2 L) and its complex were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which showed that the monomer [Ni 4 L 4 (CH 3 CH 2 OH) 4 ]·1.46(CH 3 CH 2 OH) (the Ni(II) complex) crystallized in the tetragonal structure with space group I 4 1 / a . IR, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to further confirm the structure of the Ni(II) complex. Its independent unit consists of four Ni(II) atoms, four L 2− Schiff base ligands, and four coordinated ethanol molecules. In vitro anticancer activities against the four human cell lines, A-549, MDA-MB-231, SMMC-7721, and CNE-2Z, revealed that the Ni(II) complex exhibited significant anticancer activity. Furthermore, the anticancer activities of the Ni(II) complex on SMMC-7721 and CNE-2Z cells were much better than that of cisplatin. In addition, migration and the Transwell assay illustrated that the Ni(II) complex could inhibit the invasion and cell migration of tumor cells CNE-2Z and SMMC-7721.

In the present study, selective transformation of waste cassava residues into aromatics via catalytic pyrolysis over as-prepared La and P modified ZSM-5 was systematically investigated, especially in the aspects of product regulation and kinetic analysis. Comprehensive physicochemical characterizations were undertaken for unveiling the essential structural properties of La and P modified ZSM-5. The introduction of La and P species significantly enriched the Lewis and Brønsted acid sites in ZSM-5, thus facilitating the directional pyrolysis of waste cassava residues into aromatics. Higher apparent activation energy for aromatics formation from waste cassava residues pyrolysis in the presence of La and P modified ZSM-5 might be due to the fact that the catalytic pyrolysis belonged to diffusion-controlled gas-solid reaction. In comparison with that of the parent ZSM-5, LaP 2 /ZSM exhibited better performance towards aromatics formation in waste cassava residues pyrolysis, wherein the relative content of aromatics reached 83.3% at a temperature of 650 °C. Gratifyingly, the relative content of aromatics was increased to 90.5% for the catalytic pyrolysis of acid pretreated cassava residue, in the case of LaP 1 /ZSM catalyst.

A combined experimental and theoretical study was performed on corrosion inhibition effect of 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole (PMT) on nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) in seawater . Gravimetric measurement and electrochemical method, such as the open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Tafel polarization curve were used to verify the corrosion inhibition effect of PMT. It was found that the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) of PMT achieved 94.4 %, 99.5 %, 98.7 % at a concentration of 1.12 mM, respectively. The slump of the degree of corrosion on NAB surface was also revealed based on SEM and AFM images analysis with the addition of PMT. According to the Langmuir isotherm model based on EIS, PMT was confirmed as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor between −20 kJ mol –1 and −40 kJ mol –1 . Besides, the successful adsorption of PMT on NAB has been revealed by the results of XPS and the change of water contact angle on NAB surface. In combination XPS with quantum chemistry calculations, PMT molecules are adsorbed on the surface of NAB by the active S atom and the tetrazole ring as the major adsorption groups, thus, the protective barrier formed by PMT on the surface of NAB can effectively insulate NAB from contact with seawater. The research results in this paper have showed that PMT as a drug intermediate has an excellent corrosion inhibition effect on the NAB at extremely low concentration in seawater.

1. Jatrorrhizine is an active ingredient found in various traditional Chinese medicinal plants. Based on our previous finding that jatrorrhizine was a potent inhibitor of OCT2 and OCT3, the aim of the present study was to explore whether jatrorrhizine has an antidepressant-like action action via inhibition of uptake-2 transporters.2. In vitro uptake tests showed that jatrorrhizine strongly inhibited PMAT-mediated MPP+ uptake with an IC50 value of 1.05 μM and reduced 5-HT and NE uptake mediated by hOCT2, hOCT3 and hPMAT with IC50 values of 0.1–1 μM (for OCT2 and OCT3) and 1–10 μM (for PMAT).3. In mouse synaptosomes, jatrorrhizine suppressed 5-HT and NE uptake in a concentration dependently manner, where the role of uptake-2 inhibition is significant.4. The antidepressant-like action of jatrorrhizine was evaluated by mouse tail suspension test (TST). The TST showed that one week of jatrorrhizine (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.) or venlafaxine (20 mg/kg, i.g.) can significantly reduce the duration of immobility when compared with vehicle control group.5. The concentration of jatrorrhizine shows a dose-dependent increase in brain tissues.6. Our study suggested that jatrorrhizine might be used as an antidepressant agent via inhibition of uptake-2 transporters.

Structured Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite supported on silicon carbide (SiC) foam catalyst was develop and applied as the packed foam bed catalytic reactor (FBCR) to the liquid phase catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of phenol under flow conditions. Fe catalysts were uniformly incorporated into ZSM-5 coatings using chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Fluid flow analysis of FBCR was performed by varying liquid flow rate, showing the transition of reactor type from the plug flow reactor to the continuous stirred tank reactor at about 1 ml min −1 . Systematic investigation of CWPO within Fe-ZSM-5/SiC FBCRs identified the optimum condition of operating the FBCR (80 mm bed length) as at 60 °C and 1 ml min −1 with the turnover frequency (TOF) of 95 h −1 for phenol degradation (apparent activation energy = 3.4 kJ mol −1 ) and total organic carbon (TOC) conversion of 45.5%. It was believed that the enhanced macromixing promoted by cellular foam supports was accountable for the observed catalytic performance. The longevity of FBCR under flow conditions was also assessed, showing its good stability over 24 h, as well as the potential for practical adoption.

A series of zeolite-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/NaZSM-5) have been prepared by adjusting Si/Al ratio of NaZSM-5 zeolite from 60 to pure silica. Catalytic tests in propene oxidation as an important model reaction for removal of hydrocarbons emitted from automobiles during cold-start, show that the catalytic activities significantly increase with Si/Al ratios of NaZSM-5 zeolite in these Pt/NaZSM-5 catalysts. As a typical example, Silicalite-1 supported Pt nanoparticles exhibits the highest activity, giving the 50% conversion temperature (T 50 ) and 90% conversion temperature (T 90 ) at 112 °C and 118 °C, respectively. Characterizations of these catalysts with multiple techniques show that the enhanced catalytic activities are strongly related to the zeolite Si/Al ratios of the catalysts, where an increase of zeolite Si/Al ratio is favorable for the adsorption of propene, promoting the propene oxidation. This feature might offer a good opportunity to design and prepare highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for removal of light olefins in the future.

The determination of carcinogenic 4(5)-methylimidazole (4-MeI) in complex matrices at trace levels is a challenge because of its higher polarity and weaker column retention capability. Here, we proposed a novel method for the quantification of 4-MeI in various foods and beverages using modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The evaluated QuEChERS extraction with LC-MS/MS method showed excellent linearity (1–200 μg/L, with correlation coefficient (R 2 ) > 0.999), trueness (91–113%), and precision (relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 12.3%), but low matrix effect (92–108%) for cola, tea, beer, coffee beverage, bread, biscuit and instant coffee. The expanded measurement uncertainty was less than 34.4% at 95% confidence level. The proposed method can be successfully applied to determine 4-MeI in 28 commercial foods and beverages purchased from local market. Therefore, we believe this method is likely to provide a potential for 4-MeI determination in practical application.

We report the synthesis of Zn/ZSM-5 particles coated with a silicalite-1 zeolite shell (core–shell Zn/ZSM-5@silicalite-1) via grinding of the raw silica source materials with TPAOH and Zn/ZSM-5, followed by solvent-free crystallization at 180 °C for 72 h. The product was well characterized by the XRD patterns, N2 sorption isotherms, SEM images, and TEM images. Because of the core–shell structure, the Zn/ZSM-5@silicalite-1 sample exhibits high selectivities for benzene, toluene, and xylenes in the conversion of methanol, compared with those over ZSM-5 and Zn/ZSM-5 samples. The solvent-free synthesis offers an alternative method for preparing core–shell Zn/ZSM-5@silicalite-1 catalysts.

The selective hydrogenation and rearrangement of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 3-hydroxymethyl-cyclopentone (HCPN) were studied over a MOF-derived bimetallic nickel–copper catalyst in water. The combination of nickel and copper dramatically improved the efficiency in both the selective hydrogenation of the carbonyl group of 5-HMF and the hydrogenative ring-rearrangement of the C5 ring, affording 70.3% yield for HCPN and 99.8% yield for the rearrangement products. Moreover, it was indicated that water acted as a solvent, reactant, and proton donor by dissociation at an elevated temperature, which supplied slightly acidic conditions and promoted the rearrangement reaction.
