The effects of the active metal ratio on the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst were discussed by adjusting the molar ratio of Co/Al. N2 adsorption/desorption analysis showed that the series of prepared CoxAlOy catalysts were mesoporous materials with an average pore size of about 20 nm. NH3-TPD analysis showed that the dominance of moderate acid sites was favorable for hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The prepared Co3AlOx with the Co/Al molar ratio of 3∶1 exhibited excellent catalytic activity. Under the operational conditions of 0.3 g furfuryl alcohol, 20 mL solvent 1, 4-dioxane, 0.12 g catalyst Co3AlOx, reaction time 3 h, H2 pressure 2 MPa and reaction temperature 120 ℃, the conversion of furfuryl alcohol was more than 98.95%, and the yield of furfuryl alcohol could reach 96.25%. XRD, TEM and XPS analysis showed that Co3AlOx existed in the mixed phase of CoAl2O4 and Co2O3, and the specific surface area and moderate acid strength were the key factors determining the catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of Co3AlOx catalyst could still maintain 83% after 5 cycles, which indicates its good cycle stability. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

The results showed that DMPE has been successfully synthesized, and the number average molecular weight, the weight average molecular weight, and the degree of polymerization were 3 900, 6 300, and 7.8. Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy showed that DMPE had a scattering peak at 400 nm, and TG and analysis showed that DMPE started to compose at about 320 ℃, and completely degraded at 450 ℃. Moreover, DMPE aqueous solution had a proliferative effect on L929 cells at a low concentration, and the cell viability gradually decreased with the increasing concentration. During the cooling process, the DMPE chains aggregated to form micellars, and the aggregation temperature increased with the increasing concentration. However in the heating process, the aggregated micellars gradually de-aggregated and presented an obvious hysteresis. Kinetic studies indicated that the low temperature was conducive to the aggregation of micells. When the temperature was 3 ℃, the Avrami index(n) was 5.79, rate constant(kp) was 1.78×10-11, the pre-exponential factor(A) was 1.55×1022, and the apparent activation energy(Ea) was -127.12 kJ/mol.

When the dosage of SL was 0.2 g, the dosage of SA was 0.1 g, and the dosage of cross-linking agent was 0.05 g, the compressive strength of LSTH reached 835.53 kPa, which was 200 kPa higher than that of LH. After 90 rapid compression cycles at a high compression set of 80%, LSTH could still maintain a stable structure, good compressive strength and recoverability. The strain sensing properties showed that the hydrogel could respond quickly and be stable to external pressure and strain stimuli, indicating its good response reproducibility and stability.

Three AKD pre-flocculation processes(E, F, G) were obtained by changing the addition sequence of the three retention aids. The effects of three pre-flocculate processes on AKD floc particle size, specific surface area, system turbidity, zeta potential, and paper sizing were investigated.

The adsorption of AKD by the fiber reached 2.151 mg/g at 10 min of adsorption. When AKD flocs from process E were blended with PCC for sizing and filling, the Cobb60 value of the paper sheets reduced to 20.15 g/m2, filler retention reached 90.51%, and the sizing reversal rate in 40 days decreased to 5.49%.

At the same time, it is also found that China's biomass resources had great potential and biomass energy had the excellent characteristics of renewability, such as renewable, less pollution, large reserves, wide distribution, zero carbon emissions and so on. However, it was difficult to internationalize because of a series of problems such as imperfect of collection-storage-transportation system, shortage of capital chain and more by-products. It was further prospected that biomass gasification in China should not only take a basic research, but also consider the overall demand of biomass gasification technology and the competition with other technologies as the future development direction and important key point. This paper was expected to lay a solid foundation for the further development of biomass gasification technology and the high-value utilization of gasification products.

Review on Structure Modification and Pharmaceutical Formulations of Plant Ployprenol Hua YUAN, Hong SHEN, Yangyang YAN, Changwei ZHANG, Chengzhang WANG 2022, 42 (5):  137-146.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-2417.2022.05.018 Abstract ( 323 )   HTML ( 290 )   PDF (943KB) ( 403 )   Save Plant polyprenols were a class of natural compound of esters with good biological activity, such as anticancer, hepatoprotective and antiviral. However, the strong hydrophobic of polyprenols resulted in the low bioavailability in the human body. In view of the structural characteristics of plant polyprenols containing multiple unconjugated double bonds and terminal hydroxyl groups, the research progress of polyprenols chemical modifications, such as addition, oxidation, esterification, amination, alkylation and grignard reaction were summarized, and a series of representative polyprenols derivatives and their biological activities were introduced. Meanwhile, the latest design and development of nanoemulsions, liposomes and injections based on plant polyprenols and their derivatives were reviewed, which provide a reference for further research into the development of pharmaceutical drugs of polyprenols and their derivatives.
