Acrylonitrile (C3H3N) widely used in chemical raw materials has biological toxicity with –CN bond, so it is the key to removal of cyanide from acrylonitrile wastewater. In our previous research and investigation, a strain was identified as Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus named ZJUTB06-99 and was proved to be capable of degrading acrylonitrile. In this paper, the strain ZJUTB06-99 was domesticated with acrylonitrile-containing medium and its decyanidation and denitrification in simulated acrylonitrile wastewater were studied. The intermediate product of acrylonitrile in degradation process was identified through gas chromatography–mass spectrometer, as well as the biodegradation pathway of acrylonitrile in wastewater was deduced tentatively. The kinetics equation of biodegradation of acrylonitrile was lnC = − 0.1784t + 5.3349, with the degradation half-life of acrylonitrile in wastewater by 3.885 h. The results of this study showed that the optimum levels of temperature, pH and bacteria concentration to attain the maximum biodegradation were obtained as 30 °C, 6 and 100 g/L, respectively. The disadvantages of the biodegradation with this strain and its possible enhanced method to degrade acrylonitrile in wastewater were also discussed.

An efficient and transition-metal-free synthesis strategy of aromatic nitriles from corresponding aldehydes with H2SO4(NH2OH)2 as the nitrogen source and Cl−/ClO− as the redox mediator was developed. The redox Cl−/ClO− showed electrochemical reversibility in acidic condition. The possible mechanism involving the transformation of Cl−, the generation and electrochemical reduction of nitrile oxides based on the results of cyclic voltammetry and constant current electrolysis was proposed.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is inherent brittle, flammable, and susceptible to ultraviolet light irradiation, limiting its application in the field of engineering safety. Therefore, advanced PLA composites with toughness and flame retardancy as well as other exceptional engineering performance has garnered significant interest. In this work, a versatile additive (PAHP) was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution utilizing flexible chain (polyphosphazene) as the skeleton and rigid biomass compound (guanine) as a substituent, then fabricating all-in-one PLA composites. The PAHP plays a synergistic flame-retardant role in both the gaseous and condensed phases, improving the flame retardant performance of the composites while effectively enhancing the crystallization and mechanical properties of PLA. Only 5 wt% PAHP within PLA composite can meet the fire-safety requirements of engineering applications (V-0 rating of UL-94) and exhibits a ∼12-folds enhancement in toughness compared to neat PLA. Moreover, the PLA/5% PAHP composite shows excellent ultraviolet shielding effects, blocking approaching 100 % UV isolation under UV-B wavelengths. This work offers a scalable strategy for preparing multifunctional flame-retardant additives, opening up a great promise for the application of high-performance PLA engineering composites in packaging, electronic, and automotive.

Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) is widely used in aerospace, petroleum exploration, auto parts, and other fields because of its excellent performance. Nevertheless, NBR usually needs to be crosslinked with sulfur or peroxide, which restricts the tensile performance and recyclability of NBR. Herein, a novel strategy was developed to address these issues by introducing dynamic urea bonds into the main chain using a simple, catalyst-free one-pot method. The presence of urea bonds not only provides a large number of hydrogen bonding sites between the molecular chains but also exhibits the remarkable microphase separation properties of thermoplastic elastomers. This approach endows NBR with enhanced dynamic characteristics and significant recyclability. As a result, the as-synthesized multifunctional NBR elastomer (I–A0.5–P0.5) exhibits excellent tensile strength (19.9 MPa), toughness (93.7 MJ m−3), low glass transition temperature (−52 °C), and low compression cold resistance coefficient (0.15 at −55 °C), which are comparable to those of conventionally covalently crosslinked NBR. Importantly, the elastomer can retain its mechanical robustness, chemical structure, and thermal stability after multiple rounds of recycling (after five times of recycling, with a recovery of more than 81%). To broaden the application of NBR products, I–A0.5–P0.5 was crosslinked with sulfur, and its performance was compared with NBR vulcanizates of different acrylonitrile contents. It shows excellent oil resistance and low temperature resistance. Surprisingly, it can also possess the ability to be reprocessed multiple times. This new multifunctional thermoplastic NBR elastomer is of great significance in solving the problem of difficult recycling of traditional NBR and is expected to replace traditional covalently cross-linked NBR.

Ionic liquids (ILs) of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAC]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium proline ([EMIM][PRO]), and N,N,N-dimethyl-butylethanol amine glycolic acid ([N1,1,4C2OH][GAC]) are selected as entrainers for the extractive distillation to separate the mixture of acetonitrile and water based on the COSMO-RS method. The isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium of ternary mixtures containing ILs at atmospheric pressure is determined, verifying that the used ILs can break the azeotropy of acetonitrile and water. On the basis of the thermodynamic analysis, a typical extractive distillation process is designed with Aspen Plus to evaluate the competitiveness of IL entrainers in separation performance. Significant savings of entrainer and energy, in which the solvent ratios in moles reduce from 0.94 to 0.09, 0.12, and 0.12 and the overall heat duties on the reboiler decrease 24.9, 17.5, and 15.4% for [EMIM][OAC], [EMIM][PRO], and [N1,1,4C2OH][GAC], respectively, can be achieved compared with those of ethylene glycol used as the entrainer.

Novel cross-linked polyphosphazenes with remendable capacity have been synthesized through the Diels-Alder reactions. Their structure and properties were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, GPC, DSC, TGA SEM, and polarizing microscope. The process of Diels-Alder reaction (D-A reaction) and retro-Diels-Alder reaction (retro-D-A reaction) have been investigated by FT-IR, UV, and DSC. The cross-linked polyphosphazenes exhibited remendable capability only need a thermal treatment when they were cut by blade, any other treatments such as additional monomer or catalyst, surface treatment or pressure were not needed. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

As one of the most widely used polymers, the intrinsic brittleness and high flammability bring about a stringent requirement for the practical application of epoxy resins (EPs). It is difficult to toughen EP without compromising its mechanical and thermal properties for many conventional toughening agents. Here, a novel furan-derived bio-based polyphosphazene (PFMP) with a flexible backbone and rigid side groups was prepared by the nucleophilic substitution reaction between polydichlorophosphazene (PDCP) and furfuralcohol. The resultant PFMP was incorporated into EP to realize exceptional toughening, strengthening, and flame retardant function. By adding 15% of PFMP, the limit oxygen index value is from 25% (EP) to 33% (EP/PFMP-15) and reaches the UL-94 V-0 rating. According to the cone calorimeter results, EP/PFMP-15 exhibits exceedingly reduced peak heat release rate (pHRR) (50.2%) and total heat release (THR) (49.6%). The significantly increased fire performance index (FPI) and decreased fire growth rate index (FIGRA) of EP/PFMP-15 demonstrate an improvement in its flame retardancy. The catalytic carbonization effect (condensed phase) and radical quenching effect (gas phase) of PFMP account for the greatly improved flame retardancy. Moreover, the impact and tensile tests indicate that PFMP can ameliorate the mechanical performance of EP with a maximum increase of impact strength (111.8%) and elongation at break (35.2%) for EP/PFMP-5. With 15% PFMP added, the tensile strength of EP/PFMP-15 increases by 40.4%. This work demonstrates that PFMP is expected to overcome shortcomings (flammability, toughness, and strength) of EP and spread its applied fields.

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) represents a unique class of cathode material for lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries as it eradicates the polysulfides shuttling issue in carbonate-based electrolyte. However, due to the essential chemical S-linking and organic nature of SPAN, the active mass percentage and rate capability are two bottleneck issues preventing its ultimate deployment outside of laboratories. In the current work, aiming to endow both the charge conductivity and catalytic activity to SPAN for maximizing the redox kinetics of S conversion, a freestanding nanofibrous SPAN cathode embedding conductive CNTs and atomically dispersed Co centers is fabricated via multivariate electrospinning. While the CNTs enable dramatically enhancing the fiber conductivity and generating mesoscopic porosity for facilitating charge and mass transportation, the cross-linking of SPAN by Co-N 4 S motifs creates extra charge conduction pathways and further serves as the catalytic active sites for expediting redox S conversion. As a result, an extraordinary Li-SPAN performance is achieved with a high specific capacity up to 1856 mAh g −1 @0.2 C, a superb rate capability up to 10 C, and an ultra-long battery life up to 1500 cycles@1 C. Consequently, our study here provides insights into the adoption of coordination chemistry to maximize the sulfur utilization by ensuring a more complete redox conversion from SPAN to Li 2 S, and vice versa .

Synthesis of acetonitrile (ACN) by way of ethanol dehydroamination process was performed over copper-, zinc-, nickel-, and cobalt-based catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor, by which 20Co/Al2O3 was found to be the best one and ready for subsequent La, Ce, and Pr doping. Then, catalytic tests and a series of characterizations such as XRD, XRF, XPS, TEM, TG-DTA, IGA, NH3-TPD, and N2 adsorption–desorption were carried out. The results demonstrate that rare-earth-modified 20Co/Al2O3 catalysts have improved the catalytic performance for ethanol dehydroamination remarkably; the addition of La leads to better dispersion of cobalt species, the higher surface area of 20Co/Al2O3 catalyst, and fast adsorption for ACN, as well as better resistance to carbon deposition. In the meantime, the La-doped catalyst seems to prefer the route of acetaldehyde imine to ACN rather than to ethylamine, and consequently, a highly selective synthesis of ACN with excellent catalytic stability was obtained with the formation of ethylamine being suppressed..

In this paper, a two-step precipitation polymerization method was used to prepare a magnetic poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-3,3′-sulfonyl dianilide) (MPSD) as an adsorbent for the removal of the radioactive element thorium(IV) in aqueous solution. The magnetic material was characterized and analyzed by FTIR, XRD, SEM, BET and VSM. The experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of MPSD was 286.7 mg/g when pH was 4.0. And the adsorption process fitted the Langmuir model ( R 2 = 0.9991) and the pseudo-secondary kinetic model ( R 2 = 0.9997). At the same time, the thermodynamic data indicated that the removal of thorium(IV) by MPSD microspheres was a spontaneous endothermic process.

Dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) is an emerging disinfection by-product (DBP) that is widespread in drinking water. However, the pathway for DCAN formation from aromatic amino acids remains unclear, leading to a lack of an understanding of its explicit fate during chloramination. In this study, we investigated the specific formation mechanism of DCAN during the chloramination of phenylalanine based on reaction kinetics and chemical thermodynamics. The reason for differences between aldehyde and decarboxylation pathways was explained, and kinetic parameters of the pathways were obtained through quantum chemistry calculations. The results showed that the reaction rate constant of the rate-limiting step of the aldehyde pathway with 1.9 × 10 −11 s −1 was significantly higher than that of decarboxylation (3.6 × 10 −16 s −1 M −1 ), suggesting that the aldehyde pathway is the main reaction pathway for DCAN formation during the chloramination of phenylalanine to produce DCAN. Subsequently, theoretical calculations were performed to elucidate the effect of pH on the formation mechanism, which aligned well with the experimental results. Dehydrohalogenation was found to be the rate-limiting step under acidic conditions with reaction rate constants higher than those of the rate-limiting step (expulsion of amines) under neutral conditions, increasing the rate of DCAN formation. This study highlights the differences in DCAN formation between the decarboxylation and aldehyde pathways during the chloramination of precursors at both molecular and kinetic levels, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the reaction mechanisms by which aromatic free amino acids generate DCAN.

It is of great importance to choose a suitable solvent for the growth of high-quality CsPbBr3 single crystals. Here, by introducing acetonitrile (ACN) to the mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents, the solubility curve of CsPbBr3 exhibits a monotonic decrease in the temperature range of 20–80 °C, which can reduce the growth temperature to around 45 °C. Besides, the addition of ACN significantly increased the yield of single crystals to 38.71%. The quality of CsPbBr3 single crystals grown in the DMSO/DMF/ACN precursor was improved, evidenced by a full width at half maxima (FWHM) of 0.035° in the X-Ray rocking curve of (100) and the absence of secondary phase inside the crystal from the infrared image. A μτ value of 2.57 × 10−4 cm2 V−1 from the corresponding devices can be achieved, comparable to that of crystals grown by the melt method. Our work here provides a promising solution recipe for the preparation of high-quality CsPbBr3 single crystals.
