    β-cyclodextrin/wood flour (β-CD/WF) grafted copolymer was prepared by esterification- crosslinking technology, i.e., grafting β-CD onto poplar wood flour in the presence of citric acid. The properties of this grafted copolymer were characterized by FT-IR, TGA and the technique of phenolphthalein probe respectively. The adsorption property of this copolymer for Pb2+ in a batch adsorption system as a function of contact time, pH and initial Pb2+ concentration was investigated in this study. The results showed that β-CD was not only grafted onto the surface of wood flour but also demonstrated an encapsulation activity. The kinetic data were analyzed by the pseudo-first,second-order kinetics and intraparticle diffusion, and the equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The results showed that adsorption equilibrium was reached within 30 min at 298 K under the proper pH between 4.0 and 8.0 , and the adsorption capacity increased with the rise of initial Pb2+ concentration. It was found that the adsorption kinetics followed the second-order model. This suggested that the adsorption of Pb2+ by copolymer was a chemisorption process, and the intraparticle diffusion was not the primary rate-determining step. Besides, Langmuir model fitted the equilibrium data better than the Freundlich isotherm. It reflected the adsorption of Pb2+ on copolymer was monolayer adsorption. The thermodynamic properties, ΔGΘ, ΔHΘ and ΔSΘ showed that adsorption of Pb2+ onto β-CD/WF flour grafted copolymer was endothermic and spontaneous in the temperature range of 293-313 K.

    Corn stalk was pretreated by four kinds of pretreatment methods, namely, dilute acid, dilute acid refining, neutral steam explosion and dilute acid steam explosion. The effects of pretreatment on enzymatic hydrolysis and yield of fermentable su-gars were investigated. The components of pretreated corn stalk, sugars in pre-hydrolyzate, carbohydrate and lignin degradation products in pre-hydrolyate were also analyzed. After 100 g corn stalk was pretreated by dilute acid, dilute acid refining, neutral steam explosion and dilute acid steam explosion followed by washing, the cellulose content -dropped from 37.17g to 33.96, 33.54, 32.63 and 32.88 g, respectively; the xylan content declined from 22.84 g to 2.77, 2.47, 3.56 and 2.05 g respectively and lignin content reduced to 17.63, 17.42, 16.90 and 17.25 g from 18.76 g, respectively. When dilute acid steam explosion pretreated corn stalk was treated by 20 FPIU/g cellulose cellulase and 3 IU/g cellulose β-glucosidase for 48 h as the substrate concentration was 100g/L, the hydrolysis yield of cellulose was 75.91 % (based on corn stover). The yield of fermentable sugars was 44.93 % (based on corn stover) as the corn stover was pretreated by dilute acid steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis.

    DONG Xiao-yu;ZHU Xiao-li;YUAN Yu-lian;XIU Zhi-long
    2013, 33 (2):  10-18.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-2417.2013.02.002

    Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize fermentation parameters for high-level production of 1,3-propanediol(1,3-PD) by the Klebsiella pneumoniae mutant Kp-M2. Based on the Plackett-Burman design, original concentration of glycerol, original pH and seed age were selected as the most critical parameters. The center points of these three parameters were determined using the steepest accent (descent), and all three parameters were then optimized by the Box-Behnken design. A maximum 1,3-PD concentration of 21.6 g/L was predicted by the optimized glycerol concentration (57 g/L), pH (7.3) and seed age (10 h). Using these three optimized parameters, 20.7 g/L 1,3-PD was obtained from flask fermentation, which represented a 30% increase over that obtained under non-optimized conditions. Under batch and fed-batch fermentations using the same optimized parameters, the concentration of 1,3-PD increased to 29.5 and 92.0 g/L, respectively, compared to 19.9 and 76.7 g/L previously obtained for non-optimized fermentation conditions. This showed that RSM could be effectively used to enhance the production of 1,3-PD via fermentation.

The effects of internal and external diffusion were eliminated by improving the type of stirrer, adding solvent oil No.200, raising rotational speed to more than 600 r/min and reducing granularity of catalyst at 10-20 μm. The changes of components with reaction time were traced on-line at temperature 403 K to 433 K and pressure 5 MPa by capillary gas chromatography. The pseudo-homogeneous reaction kinetics of catalytic hydrogenation of rosin was studied. The result shows that the reaction velocity of catalytic hydrogenation of rosin is the first order with respect to abietic acid concentration. The intrinsic kinetic equation is r=1.13×105exp(-5.904×103/T)C1 and the activation energy is 4.909×104 J/mol.

    Three kinds of pyridine molecules were grafted by covalent bonds onto activated carbons using the processes of oxidative and acylation. Regularity for the changes of the surface physicochemical properties and pore structure before and after modification were studied by the measurement technologies such as FT-IR,XPS,elemental analysis and N2 adsorption. The structural differences of grafting molecules and the reaction performance of activated carbon were investigated. The results showed 3-aminopyridine has the highest grafting efficiency. It was determined that the surface N/C value of activated carbon was 0.10 and the nitrogen content was up to 7.74%. The results showed that the difference of the electron effect of the grafted molecules affected the grafting efficiency. This provided a scientific basis for highly efficiently grafting by acylation on activated carbon.

    A method was established by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography for determining the content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in leaves of Santalum album L. The sample was pretreated by soxhlet extraction to eliminate the pigments with ether, and then by water extraction and alcohol precipitation to eliminate sugar and protein. GABA was derivatized with dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) and isolated by reversed-phase HPLC. GABA was detected quantitatively by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Nice linear relationship between peak area and concentration was obtained with the linear regression equation as y=475 211x+69 037,R2=0.999 8. The recovery of standard addition was in the range of 112% to 120%. The detection limit of GABA was 7 μg/g. The established HPLC method is simple, economic, stable and accurate with good reproducibility. It can be applied on determination of GABA in leaves of Santalum album L.

    Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy was employed to characterize the main functional groups of extracts from Phyllostachy sulphurea leaves(PSLE). The inhibition effect of PSLE on the corrosion of aluminum in 1.0 mol/L HCl was studied by mass loss and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The results showed that the PSLE was a good inhibitor in hydrochloric acid for aluminum, and the maximum inhibition efficiency was 77.7 %. The corrosion inhibition of bamboo leaves was good at 20 ℃ and 30 ℃.The adsorption of PSLE on the aluminum surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. Adsorption heat ΔHads was calculated by Van't Hoff, and the inhibition mechanism was discussed in detail according to the parameters. All EIS exhibited that corrosion inhibitor at the aluminum surface had good are resistance. PSLE was a mix-type inhibition.

    SUN Li-yuan;ZHU Kai
    2013, 33 (2):  139-143.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-2417.2013.02.025
    Abstract ( 2422 )   PDF (855KB) ( 1278 )   Save
    Methyleugenol was prepared from eugenol in the presence of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), using dimethyl carbonate(DMC) as methylating agent instead of the conventional toxic agents. Using the yield of methyleugenol as the evalution index, central composite design process was used to optimize the methylation reaction of eugenol and DMC. An optimum reaction condition for the preparation of the targeted product was as follows, reaction temperature 155 ℃, the amount of K2CO3 6.12 %(mea-sured by the molar ratio of eugenol), the molar ratio of DMC and eugenol 4.3:1 and reaction time 6 h. Under this condition the conversion rate reached 96.16 %. Meanwhile, repeated experiments showed that the reaction process was easy to be controlled and excellent repetitiveness can be acquired. GC-MS and IR spectral analysis were employed to confirm the structure of the product.

    It was reviewed according to the home and aboard literatures on the isomerization of main terpenes in turpentine, which are α-pinene, β-pinene and 3-carene. All these terpenes could be transformed by thermal energy or catalysis, especially the combined effect by both factors. They could give a complicated product which consisted of limonene, camphene, myrcene and p-cymene and so on. They would be used as materials or intermediates for further applications.
