A porous crosslinked starch polymer (CSTO) using bitolylene diisocyanate as crosslinker was prepared by a facile method and used to selectively recover acetophenone (AP) from petrochemical effluent mainly containing AP and 1-phenylethanol (PE). The theoretical calculation results indicated that AP exhibited the superior affinity toward the adsorption sites of CSTO through noncovalent interactions. The adsorption measurements showed that, due to the large surface area and high affinity of phenyl rings, CSTO displayed an extremely rapid adsorption rate, a desirable adsorption capacity and selectivity to AP. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms in single solute system agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model, and the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, CSTO showed excellent reusability for selective adsorption of AP from equimolar mixture of AP/PE, prompting us to further examine its applicability. In the practical application, CSTO also revealed a fast, preferential and reusable adsorption of AP from actual petrochemical effluent.

A novel hybrid material was prepared by grafting β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto the surface of oxidized AC for the rapid adsorption of naphthalene . AC and CDACs were characterized using the N 2 adsorption–desorption method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and solid state CP MAS 13 C NMR. All the results demonstrate that β-CD grafted successfully onto AC. Batch experimental adsorption datas had a higher correlation to Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium capacity of 178.73 mg·g −1 was reached in just 10 s at an AC/β-CD grafting ratio value of 1:1. It had a faster adsorption rate than many reported adsorbents. Additionally, the positive free energy change (∆G°), and the positive enthalpy change (∆H°) suggest that it is a viable, spontaneous and endothermic process, which will provided a new path to a highly-efficient and fast-adsorption-rate adsorbent for naphthalene or its analogues discharged into the environment.

Fluorene is a priority pollutant in water listed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A fluorescent probe using Eu(III)-marked polystyrene nanoparticles (EuNPs) labelled with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) was synthesized and an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on the probe (EuNPs-MAb) was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of fluorene in water samples. The concentration of fluorene was inversely proportional to fluorescence intensity values of T-line in the range 0.98–62.50 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) for quantitative detection of fluorene was 0.09 ng/mL. Recoveries of fluorene in various water samples ranged from 81.50% to 103.00% and coefficients of variation (CVs) were below 13%, which were in a good agreement with those of traditional ELISA (R 2 = 0.99). The assay can be performed within 30 min. The integrated ICA strip gave higher sensitivity and reliable reproducibility. It could be a potential method for rapid and sensitive detection of fluorene in water samples.

The use of organic chemicals derived from renewable sources to synthesize functional solid materials for heterogeneous catalysis is of great significance. Herein, a new porous and acid-base bifunctional hybrid (FDCA-Hf) was designed and prepared by simple assembly of biomass-derived 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with hafnium (Hf) under template-free conditions. The resulting FDCA-Hf hybrid with mesopores centered at 6.9 nm, moderate surface area (365.8 m 2 /g) and acid-base couple sites (density: 0.51 vs 0.97 mmol/g, acid/base molar ratio: 0.53), could selectively catalyze the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions (as low as 90 °C in a short time of 1 h), especially of ethyl levulinate to γ -valerolactone, in quantitative yields (95–100%) and relatively higher reaction rate (e.g., turnover frequency: 2.28 h −1 ) compared to other catalysts. Moreover, the efficient simultaneous (trans)esterification of Jatropha oils with high acidic values to biodiesel (up to 98% yield) could also be achieved over FDCA-Hf with robust acid-base catalytic sites. The FDCA-Hf hybrid was highly stable due to the presence of robust metal-organic framework and could be resued with no decline in activity. Further studies demonstrated that the synergistic role of Lewis acid-base couple species (Hf 4+ –O 2− ) and Brønsted acidic species ( OH) of FDCA-Hf contributed greatly to its pronounced catalytic activity.

The synthesis of highly selective catalysts for the catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of biomass into valuable aromatics remains a challenge. This report describes the synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts by the NaOH desilication of conventional HZSM-5 for the CFP of rice straw to aromatics in a Tandem μ-reactor system coupled directly to a GC/MS equipped with FID and TCD. Catalysts were treated with a mild HCl wash and metal loading to increase the catalytic activity and reduce the deactivation. The effects of acidity, mesoporosity and incorporation of metals on the production of aromatics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N 2 adsorption and desorption (N 2 -BET) and temperature-programmed desorption of NH 3 (NH 3 -TPD). The highest total acidity, especially the strong acidity, of the hierarchical ZSM-5 treated by 0.2 and 0.4 NaOH followed by HCl washing (AHZ-0.2 and AHZ-0.4) gave the highest yields of aromatics. Suitable mesopores introduced by alkali treatment enhanced mass transfer of reactants, increasing the yield of aromatics. Finally, the loading of a suitable amount of Ni and Cu produced more aromatics than standard HZSM-5 due to the improved decarboxylation/decarbonylation reactions leading to higher yields of olefins.

This study investigates the removal effectiveness and characteristics of phenanthrene and naphthalene using low-cost steel slag with batch experiments. The adsorption characteristics of steel slag were measured and analysed using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The batch experiments investigated the effect of the time gradient, pH, and steel slag dosage gradient on the adsorption of the steel slag. The results show that with time and dosage of steel slag increased, the adsorption capacity of phenanthrene and naphthalene increased and gradually became balanced, but pH had no obvious effect on the adsorption of phenanthrene and naphthalene. The Langmuir isotherm model best describes the phenanthrene and naphthalene removal by the steel slag, which shows the adsorption occurring in a monolayer. The maximum adsorption capacity of the steel slag to phenanthrene and naphthalene is 0.043 and 0.041 mg/g, respectively. A pseudo-first-order kinetic model can better represent the adsorption of phenanthrene and naphthalene by steel slag. The research demonstrates that the steel slag has a certain adsorption capacity for phenanthrene and naphthalene.

Herein we report a propeller-like hexaphenylbenzene-based hydrocarbon material (denoted as BT) as the stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography (GC). The statically-coated BT capillary column showed a high column efficiency of 4340 plates m −1 and weak polarity. Owing to its unique conformation, π-electron toroidal delocalization and intrinsic microporosity , the BT stationary phase exhibited interesting selectivity for aromatic compounds over alkanes. Compared with the graphene (G) column, the BT column showed much prolonged retention and high selectivity for aromatic isomers, especially methylnaphthalenes , dimethylnaphthalenes and phenanthrene/anthracene, mainly because of its propeller-like conformation with rich intercalation effects. Moreover, it exhibited good column repeatability (intra-day, inter-day) and reproducibility (between-column) with RSD values on the retention times less than 0.08% for intra-day, 0.32% for inter-day and 3.8% for between-column, respectively. Also, it showed good potential for determination of minor isomer impurities in real samples. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first example of employing an neat aromatic hydrocarbon material as the GC stationary phase with high selectivity for analytes of a wide ranging polarity.

The NiCo/Ni(OH) 2 -Co(OH) 2 /C bimetallic nanomaterials were prepared at room temperature (RT) via hydrazine hydrate reduction method. And the corresponding Ru/NiCo/Ni(OH) 2 -Co(OH) 2 /C (Ru-NiCo/C∼uncalcined) tri-metallic supported nanocatalysts were synthesized by galvanic replacement reaction. The multi-level supported nanostructure of ruthenium nanoclusters-on-NiCo-on-Ni(OH) 2 -Co(OH) 2 nanoparticles (NPs) then loaded on carbon was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM), STEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping and line-scans (STEM-EDS), and high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (HS-LEIS) techniques. And the RuNiCo alloy/C and Ru@NiCo core-shell/C catalysts were obtained after the Ru-NiCo/C∼uncalcined catalyst annealed in hydrogen at 300 °C and 600 °C, respectively. The nanostructures of the reduced RuNiCo tri-metallic supported nanocatalysts were also characterized by the above-mentioned analysis techniques. The catalytic performance of these catalysts was evaluated by naphthalene hydrogenation. The Ru-NiCo/C∼uncalcined catalyst exhibited much more excellent catalytic performance and higher selectivity to decalin than the Ru/Ni/Ni(OH) 2 /C and Ru/Co/Co(OH) 2 /C catalysts, mainly attributed to its unique nanostructure and the positive synergistic effect among the related Ni, Co and Ru species. And Ru-NiCo/C∼uncalcined showed good stability under mild reaction conditions (reaction temperature – 60 °C and hydrogen pressure – 4.48 MPa). The effect of reaction temperature on the catalytic properties of the Ru-NiCo/C∼uncalcined catalyst was investigated in this work. However, the RuNiCo alloy/C and Ru@NiCo core-shell/C catalysts did not show any activity (yield to decalin < 0.1%) for this reaction due to their nanostructures and the absence of effective synergy effect.

A mixed-mode polymer monolithic column functionalized by arsonic acid groups was prepared by single-step in situ copolymerization of monomers p -methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid ( p -MAPHA) and pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA). The prepared poly( p -MAPHA- co -PETA) monolithic column has a homogeneous monolithic structure with good permeability and mechanical stability. Zeta potential measurements reveal that the monolithic stationary phase holds a negative surface charge when the mobile phase resides in the pH range of 3.0–8.0. The retention mechanisms of prepared monolithic column are explored by the separation of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nucleosides, and three basic compounds. The results indicate that the column functions in three different separation modes associated with reversed-phase chromatography based on hydrophobic interaction, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, and cation-exchange chromatography. The column efficiency of prepared monolithic column is estimated to be 70,000 and 76,000 theoretical plates/m for thiourea and naphthalene, respectively, at a linear flow velocity of 0.85 mm/s using acetonitrile/H 2 O (85/15, v/v) as the mobile phase. Furthermore, an analysis of the retention factors obtained for the PAHs indicates that the prepared monolithic column exhibits good reproducibility with relative standard deviations of 2.9%, 4.0%, and 4.7% based on run-to-run injections, column-to-column preparation, and batch-to-batch preparation, respectively. Finally, we investigate the separation performance of the proposed monolithic column for select phenols, sulfonamides, nucleobases and nucleosides.

It is an important challenge to effectively remove environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dyes, and heavy metal ions at a low cost. Herein, we present a multifunctional homopolymer vesicle self-assembled from a scalable homopolymer, poly(amic acid) (PAA), at room temperature. The vesicle can efficiently eliminate PAHs, cationic dyes, and heavy metal ions from water based on π–π stacking, hydrophobic effect, and electrostatic interactions with the pollutants. The residual concentrations of PAHs, cationic dyes, and heavy metal ions (such as Ni2+) in water are lower than 0.60 and 0.30 parts per billion (ppb) and 0.095 parts per million (ppm), respectively, representing a promising adsorbent for water remediation. Furthermore, precious metal ions such as Ag+ can be recovered into silver nanoparticles by in situ reduction on the membrane of PAA vesicles to form a silver nanoparticle/vesicle composite (Ag@vesicle) that can effectively catalyze the reduction of toxic pollutants such as aromatic nitro-compounds and be recycled for more than ten times.

Aflatoxins are highly toxic mycotoxin contamination, which pose serious food safety incidents. It is very important to precisely and rapidly determine trace aflatoxins in food. In this study, we designed porous monolithic column based on covalent cross-linked polymer gels for online extraction and analysis of trace aflatoxins in food samples with complicated matrices coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV). The prepared monolithic column showed excellent enrichment performance due to its good permeability, good reproducibility and long life span. The study of adsorption mechanism suggested that the excellent enrichment performance of this monolithic column was attributed to the multiple effect of π-π stacking interaction, hydrophobic effect and steric effect. When the online analytical method was applied for the determine of trace aflatoxins in real food samples, aflatoxins G 1 and aflatoxins B 1 could be actually found in one positive bean sauce sample and quantified to be 32.8 and 26.4 μg/kg, respectively. Aflatoxins G 1 in one bean sample could be also found and quantified to be 25.9 μg/kg. The low detection limits of the developed method were achieved in range of 0.08-0.2 μg/kg. And the recoveries for spiked samples were in range from 76.1 to 113% with RSDs of 1.1-9.6%. The developed method was proved to be a promising method for online enrichment and analysis of trace aflatoxins in complicated food samples.

Two palladium-containing silicates are prepared through sol-gel, and doping of L-sodium lactate plays a key role for giving helical morphology. The helical silicate is modified by chiral sulfonyl chloride in order to modulate coordination environment of palladium for enhanced catalysis. The porosity, composition, crystalline nature and bulk chirality have been studied too. All synthetic silicates show high yields for nitration of arenes by using available nitro-source. Both solvent acidity and oxidant seem crucial to nitration more than others. The conversion of larger arene is related to catalyst porosity, and modification of silicate with chiral sulfonyl chloride shows varied results. Furthermore, two catalysts exhibit renewable recycling behaviors, proving their interior palladium could be utilized. Lastly, a tetravalent palladium-facilitated mechanism is proposed. This wok may contribute to the design and catalytic application of nanosized or microsized silica material with particular morphology.
