In order to resolve the pollution of coloured wastewater, starch microsphere was used to absorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions in this paper. Starch microsphere is artificial starch derivative, can be synthesized by cross-linking reaction from crude starch and modified starch. The cross-linked starch microsphere was prepared from soluble starch and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide, and starch microsphere has characteres of irregular appearance, uniform size, suitable swelling, three-dimensional network structure, suitable shell pore diameter and specific surface area, good mechanical intensity. The microporous structure of starch microsphere was determined using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). The adsorption capacity of starch microsphere to methylene blue was studied. It could be shown that the adsorption capacity increases with the increase of concentration of methylene blue. Also, the lower the temperature was, the bigger the adsorption capacity of SM was in the same concentration. So, starch microsphere could effectively absorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions and thus the influencing factors of the adsorption were discussed in detail.
The indoor temperature can be reduced by rationally using natural ventilation in summer. Based on the computational fluid dynamics software of AIRPAK, its convenient to simulate the air velocity field and temperature field of a house. Comparing software numerical simulation results with measured data, we conclude that under the maximum limit of window-wall ratio, the bigger the windows are, the greater the airflow effect is, the better the indoor ventilation effect is.
In order to obtain some novel cationic surfactants with high surface activity, n-octadecyldimethylamine and epichlorohydrin were used to synthesize 2-hydroxy-1, 3-dis (chloride octadecyl dimethyl ammonium) propane, which was a kind of gemini quaternary ammonium salt. N-octadecyldimethylamine and epichlorohydrin were used to prepare active epoxy intermediate glycidyloctadecyldimethyl ammonium chlorided, and then glycidyloctadecyldimethyl ammonium chlorided was reacted with octadecyldimethyl amine hydrochloride to synthesize the gemini cationic surfactant. FTIR and 1H NMR were used to represent structure of the gemini cationic surfactant. The interface characteristics were studied in detail. The critical micellar concentration (CMC) was determined by surface tension test to obtain the values of CMC and surface tension at CMC. The foam ability and foam stability of the gemini cationic surfactant were also discussed through contrast octadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride.
In order to obtain an important azobenzene liquid crystal intermediate with phenylacetylene group, Sonogashira coupling reaction was used to preparation the compound. In this paper, the intermediate was synthesized by (4-Iodo-phenyl)-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-diazene and trimethyl silyl acetylene (TMSA) as raw materials, and then the trimethyl silyl group was removaled under the action of K2CO3. During the synthesis, the optimum reaction conditions were obtained, that the mol ratio of (4-Iodo-phenyl)-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-diazene and trimethyl silyl acetylene was 1:2, the reaction temperature was 80 oC. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to measure the molecular structure of the target compound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
