Authors: LIU Fei, GUO Xianying
PP: 520~525
Abstract: High molecular weight polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was obtained by the free-radical suspension copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and itaconic acid (IA) which was carried out in H2O using NaHSO3-K2S2O8 as initiator, using two methods of routine and microwave . Measured it’s viscosity-average molecular weight by Ubbelohde viscometer, then analyzed the impact of monomer IA on the copolymer.And also studied the impact of the monomer concentration,initiator concentration,reaction time,reaction temperature and other factors on the reaction system.The result indicated that,increasing monomer concentration and initiator dosage,raising reaction temperature,all may enhance conversion of the polymerization system,but can reduce the molecular weight of the copolymer,and molecular weight distribution was expanded.Increasing the amount of monomer ratio will reduce the copolymer molecular weight.At last, the paper analyzed the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve and the thermogravimetry (TG) curve of the production.

Title: Macro-kinetics studies on non-solvent catalytic hydrogenation of 2,4-diaminotoluene
Authors: KONG Lingqi, LI Chunxin, GE Jijun, CAO Chuanbo, ZHANG Guoping
PP: 512~519
Abstract: The process and kinetics of liquid phase hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) to 2,4-toluene diamine (TDA) with no solvent were observed with a self-designed device at 100~140℃, 1.0~3.0 MPa, Ni catalyst concentration (CNi) of 0.03%~2.00% by weight,and content of TDA 30%~70% by weight. Experimental data showed that the reaction has different properties in the low DNT content region (CDNT <7.14 mol·m-3, LDCR) from that in the high DNT content region (CDNT>7.14 mol·m-3, HDCR). In HDCR, the reaction was controlled by adsorptive process, and CNi was in direct proportion to the reaction rate while CDNT had almost no effect on it. In LDCR, the reaction was controlled by interface reaction process, and CNi had no effect on the reaction rate in a certain range while CDNT was in direct proportion to it. In both regions the reaction rate is about in direct proportion to hydrogen pressure. The apparent activation energies of the reaction in both regions were also obtained, 17.62 and 15.67 kJ·mol-1 respectively, which reveald that the reaction was more easily occurred than that in the solvent environment. The content of TDA had no effect on the reaction rate. The macro-kinetics was obtained through data fitting. An excellent agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data was observed, which showed that the study result could provide theoretical direction to non-solvent catalytic hydrogenation of DNT and hydrogenation reactor design.

Title: Calculation model of agglomerate sizes in vibrating fluidization of nano-particles
Authors: WANG Hui, ZHOU Tao, AI Qiong
PP: 504~511
Abstract: In this study, the fluidization behavior of SiO2 nano-particles and the effects of vibration parameters on size of agglomerates have been systematically investigated in a bed of 40 mm in diameter. Base on Richardson-Zaki equation and Stokes law, a mathematical model was developed in use of studying vibrating fluidization with nano-particles. According to these experimental results slugging and channeling of bed disappeared, the minimum fluidization velocity is reduced, the measured agglomerate size is decreased and fluidization quality was significantly improved due to introduction of vibration energy. The effect of vibration on agglomeration in fluidization of nano-particles is two-sided. Compared with vibration amplitude, vibration frequency had a comparatively significant effect on agglomerates’ size. The sizes of agglomerates of the predicated values and the experimental data decreased with increasing vibration intensity, and were agreement well with each other under vibration condition. In addition, the degree of the size-segregation of the agglomerates decreased with increasing of vibration intensity.

Title: Improved enzyme immobilization for enhanced bioelectrocatalytic activity of glucose sensor
Authors: WANG Yiting, YU Lei, ZHU Ziqiang, LOU Lei, DU Weijie, ZHU Jianzhong
PP: 482~487
Abstract: A highly sensitive and stable glucose sensor based on the synergic action of multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) and ZnO nanoparticles has been developed. Glucose oxidase (GOx) is firmly immobilized on the ZnO nanoparticles surface due to their large difference in the isoelectric point (IEP), while the ZnO nanoparticles were deposited on the negatively charged MWCNTs layer. A cationic polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) layer was coated on the GOx layer. The unique sandwich-like layer structure (PDDA/GOx/ZnO/MWCNTs) formed by self-assembling provides a favorable microenvironment to keep the bioactivity of GOx and to prevent enzyme molecule leakage. Amperometric detection of glucose was carried out at 100 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.05 mol/L phosphate buffer solution (pH=6.8) with a wide linear response range of 0.1 to 16 mmol/L by the sensor with 0.5 U GOx, with a sensitivity of 50.2 mA·cm-2·mol-1·L-1 and a detection limit of 250 nmol/L (3σ) by the sensor with 2.0 U GOx. Results obtained from the glucose sensor directly in human blood serum were compared with ones obtained by spectrometry by a local hospital. On testing 100 samples of serum, the correlation coefficient reaches 0.997.

PP: 462~467
Abstract: Aiming at the directional synthesis problem of microporous crystal compounds, this work presents a new mode of data mining process in which the pretreatment by factor analysis was used to reduce the redundant attributes and then the back propagation (BP) neural network built with these factors as input was used to predict the type of the products. The application of such method on the analysis of the synthesis data of aluminiumphosphate shows that the method can not only diminish computation, but also build product predicting model which has good predicting capacity. The prediction correct rate is 86.58%. This work will further assist in rational synthesis of microporous materials.

Authors: LI Yankun, XU Heng, CAI Wensheng, SHAO Xueguang
PP: 457~461
Abstract: Delaunay triangulation (DT) is a method to construct space mesh. The proposed method constructs DT mesh of near-infrared (NIR) spectral data in the principal component (PC) space of partial least squares (PLS) for distinguishing the similarity of samples. The method named as PLS-PC-DT is introduced into quantitative analysis of NIR spectral data. PLS-PC-DT is a fast and simple method. Furthermore, it is no need to construct the calibration model. When applied to predict the moisture, oil, protein and starch values of the corn samples, the result indicates that the proposed method provides an effective tool for the quantitative analysis of the NIR spectral data.

Title: Primary investigation on new design for branched polymers by mercapto chain-transfer polymerization
Authors: ZONG Yiwu, JIANG Jinqiang, NING Chao, DAI Peng, LIU Xiaoya
PP: 442~449
Abstract: The sodium s-alkylthiosulfuric-containing styrene monomer (SATCS) was designed and synthesized through the Bunte salt reaction, which could be used as a branched monomer together with styrene (St) and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) to prepare branched polystyrene (BPS) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. The branched polymers were characterized by multiple detectors gel permeation chromatography/laser light scattering/differential viscometer (GPC/LLS/DV) in THF. It was found that the molecular weight of BPS increased with the increasing reaction time, while the branched magnitude decreased, which indicated that through the radical copolymerization of SATCS monomer and styrene, the polystyrene could be branched.
