Ultrasonic Enhancement of CO2 Desorption from MDEA Solution in Microchannels
The enhancement of CO2 desorption from N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) rich solution was investigated in ultrasonic microreactors. Under ultrasound irradiation, the rate of bubble growth increased significantly due to rectified diffusion and bubble coalescence. The measured CO2 desorption rate was found to be obviously enhanced by ultrasound, being almost doubled at low temperature. The effects of various parameters on the enhancing effect of ultrasound were also investigated, including desorption temperature, solution flow rate, CO2 loading, MDEA concentration, microchannel length and capillary diameter. The results indicated that ultrasound was more suitable to intensify the CO2 desorption process at low temperature, by virtue of which the regeneration energy consumption and solvent loss could be efficiently reduced
Catalytic oxidative desulfurization of model and real diesel over a molybdenum anchored metal-organic framework
In this work, we report the catalytic performance of a MoO2Cl2 anchored metal-organic framework, Mo@COMOC-4, in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process on a continuous fixed-bed reactor. Mo@COMOC-4 was examined as a catalyst in the oxidation of model oils containing dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT) or 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). In a 50-h ODS reaction of DBT at 70 degrees C, with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, a constant high DBT conversion of nearly 80% was observed along with a high oxidant utility of over 85%, where DBT was converted rapidly into DBT sulfone. XRD and ICP analysis show that the structure of Mo@COMOC-4 was well preserved, with no significant leaching of Mo species. In addition, Mo@COMOC-4 can also oxidize a hydrogenated diesel oil, and 74% sulfur removal efficiency was achieved, with an extraction recovery of 92.5% after acetonitrile extraction. Spectroscopic characterization confirmed the formation of a molybdenum peroxide complex from MoO2Cl2 under TBHP treatment, a plausible catalytic process was proposed based on the experiment evidence as well as FT-IR and FT-FIR characterization results
Photoluminescent Ag nanoclusters for reversible temperature and pH nanosenors in aqueous solution
A facile, straightforward, and green method was reported for the preparation of water-soluble and highly luminescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) using captopril (Capt) as a stabilizing agent. The as-prepared Capt@AgNCs exhibited bright red emission with a strong peak centered at 637nm and showed low toxicity and good stability. Interestingly, the AgNCs displayed temperature sensitivity based on obvious temperature dependence of the fluorescence emission intensity. Furthermore, the AgNCs showed a good reversible and linear response to the environment temperature over the range from 10 degrees C to 45 degrees C with a high resolution and activation energy, which allowed its potential application as a fluorescent nanothermometer. In addition, the AgNCs were prepared to monitor pH via the fluorescence intensity of AgNCs responding sensitively to pH fluctuating within a wide range from 2.08 to 6.06. The study provides promising applications as a convenient and eco-friendly fluorescent temperature and pH nanosenser in environmental and biological fields

Structural isomer and high-yield of Pt1Ag28 nanocluster via one-pot chemical wet method
In order to understand the structure-property correlation and explore the application of metal nanoclusters, it is important and intriguing to determine their crystal structure and obtain high-yield. At the same time, this is also a challenge in nanoscience and technology. Here, we report the highly efficient synthesis of Pt1Ag28 nanocluster via one-pot chemical wet method. The crystal structure of Pt1Ag28 nanocluster was determined by X-ray crystallography to be a face centered cubic (FCC) kernel. This novel structure is the structural isomerization of Pt1Ag28 nanocluster reported before. This phenomenon is first discovered in the synthesis of alloy nanoclusters. In addition, Pt1Ag28 nanocluster has high yield and exhibits potential optics in the near infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging. The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculation implied that the optical property of Pt1Ag28 was sensitive to its structure. This work provides a simple method to synthesize alloy nanoclusters with structural isomerization
