Xinling WANG, Yuanbin SHE,

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 4,   Pages 453-456 doi: 10.1007/s11705-009-0167-8

Abstract: Selective oxidation of -nitrotoluene to -nitrobenzaldehyde with metalloporphyrins as biomimetic catalysts was studied. The peripheral substituent around porphyrin rings and various process parameters of NaOH concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and oxygen pressure all affect the selectivity of -nitrobenzaldehyde. Further, 82.0% selectivity of -nitrobenzaldehyde was achieved under the optimum conditions: 1.0×10mol•L of T(-NO)PPFeCl catalyst, 2.5mol•L of NaOH, 0.2mol•L of -nitrotoluene, 45°C and 2.0MPa for 6h.

Frontiers of Medicine 2009, Volume 3, Issue 3,   Pages 271-276 doi: 10.1007/s11684-009-0054-1

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels during the course and the progression to cirrhosis with chronic hepatitis B. A total of 239 chronic hepatitis B patients confirmed by liver biopsy between 2001 and 2007 were followed up for a median of 28 months. Compared with the patients without cirrhosis, the patients progressed to cirrhosis were older and with higher HBV-DNA levels at end point. However, there was no significant difference in cirrhosis progression between different HBV-DNA groups at baseline ( = 0.531). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher HBV-DNA level at endpoint had increasing risk of cirrhosis ( = 0.019). The results of Cox model indicated that HBV-DNA levels at endpoint, stage of fibrosis, negative hepatitis B e antigen, and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase at baseline were independent risk factors of cirrhosis. The relative risk ratios were 1.898, 1.918, 8.976, and 1.006, respectively. Progression to cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis B patients is correlated with HBV-DNA levels during follow-up.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 4,   Pages 457-461 doi: 10.1007/s11705-009-0169-6

Abstract: By using mixed-solvents method, five kinds of -substituted tetraphenylporphyrin compounds [T(-R)PPH, R=NO, Cl, CH, OCH, OH] were synthesized by the condensation of -substituted benzaldehyde with pyrrole in mixed solvents (propionic acid, acetic acid and nitrobenzene), and corresponding ferric complexes [T(-R)PPFeCl] were synthesized in dimethylformamide. The above free base porphyrins were obtained in 30%–50% yields, metalation yields were up to 90% and total yields of ferric complexes were 27%–50%. Effects of reactive conditions, solvents and oxidants on yields of free base porphyrins were investigated and the relevant mechanism was discussed. Structures of the above porphyrin complexes were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), infrared (IR) and far infrared (FIR) spectroscopy.

Haifeng Jia, Zheng Wang, Xiaoyue Zhen, Mike Clar, Shaw L. Yu

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2017, Volume 11, Issue 4, doi: 10.1007/s11783-017-0984-9

Abstract: Since 2014, China has been implementing the Sponge City Construction initiative, which represents an enormous and unprecedented effort by any government in the world for achieving urban sustainability. According to preliminary estimates, the total investment on the Sponge City Plan is roughly 100 to 150 million Yuan (RMB) ($15 to $22.5 million) average per square kilometer or 10 Trillion Yuan (RMB) ($1.5 Trillion) for the 657 cities nationwide. The Sponge City Plan (SCP) calls for the use of natural processes such as soil and vegetation as part of the urban runoff control strategy, which is similar to that of low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure (GI) practices being promoted in many parts of the world. The SCP includes as its goals not only effective urban flood control, but also rainwater harvest, water quality improvement and ecological restoration. So far, the SCP implementation has encountered some barriers and challenges due to many factors. The present paper presents a review of those barriers and challenges, offers discussions and recommendations on several technical aspects such as control goals and objectives; planning/design and construction of LID/GI practices; performance evaluation. Several key recommendations are proposed on Sponge City implementation strategy, Site-specific regulatory framework and technical guidance, Product innovation and certification, LID/GI Project financing, LID/GI professional training and certification, public outreach and education. It is expected that the successful implementation of the SCP not only will bring about a sustainable, eco-friendly urbanization process in China, but also contribute enormously to the LID/GI research and development with the vast amount of relevant data and experiences generated from the Sponge City construction projects.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2022, Volume 16, Issue 10,   Pages 1532-1532 doi: 10.1007/s11705-020-1960-7

Abstract: In this paper, the bulk density, microstructure, porosity and pore size distribution of the selected aggregates, including hemp shiv, flax shiv, rape shiv and wheat straw, are fully studied due to these properties are highly related to their excellent characteristics and more or less linked to the properties of the final product. The scanning electron microscope results showed all the selected aggregates have a highly porous and complex hierarchical structure, whereas the arrangement of pores and the thickness of cell wall are significantly different among these aggregates. All the selected aggregates had a low bulk density ranging from 30 to 130 kg∙m and a high porosity between 75.81% and 88.74%. The thermal conductivity of the selected bio-aggregates ranged from 0.04 to 0.06 W∙m ∙K . The thermal conductivity of the selected aggregates was not only depending on the bulk density of the sample but also depending on the raw material. Hemp shiv, rape shiv and flax shiv were excellent hygric regulators with moisture buffer value ( ) ranging from 2.07 to 2.36 g∙m ∙%RH , whereas, wheat straw had a lower MBV value ranging from 1.76 to 1.97 g∙m ∙%RH . The results showed that particle size does not affect the value. The value increases linearly with bulk density.

Computation and investigation of mode characteristics in nonlinear system with tuned/mistuned contact interface

Houxin SHE, Chaofeng LI, Qiansheng TANG, Hui MA, Bangchun WEN

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2020, Volume 15, Issue 1,   Pages 133-150 doi: 10.1007/s11465-019-0557-7

Abstract: This study derived a novel computation algorithm for a mechanical system with multiple friction contact interfaces that is well-suited to the investigation of nonlinear mode characteristic of a coupling system. The procedure uses the incremental harmonic balance method to obtain the nonlinear parameters of the contact interface. Thereafter, the computed nonlinear parameters are applied to rebuild the matrices of the coupling system, which can be easily solved to calculate the nonlinear mode characteristics by standard iterative solvers. Lastly, the derived method is applied to a cycle symmetry system, which represents a shaft–disk–blade system subjected to dry friction. Moreover, this study analyzed the effects of the tuned and mistuned contact features on the nonlinear mode characteristics. Numerical results prove that the proposed method is particularly suitable for the study of nonlinear characteristics in such nonlinear systems.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2007, Volume 1, Issue 2,   Pages 155-161 doi: 10.1007/s11705-007-0029-1

Abstract: The catalysis of chloridized metalloporphyrins in the oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid was systematically investigated. The turnover numbers (TON) data of 19 catalysts were obtained experimentally under optimal reaction conditions, and 2.4?10 TON for T(-Cl)PP-MnCl catalyst at 2.0?10 mol/L of dosage was reached under the conditions of dioxygen pressure of 2.5 MPa at 150?C for 4 h. This was the best result reported for this reaction up to now. The QSAR models for each concerned metalloporphyrin were established, where the catalytic activity was significantly correlated with the (the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecule orbit) and L (the bond length between metal-nitrogen atoms). Using the QSAR models, four new metalloporphyrins with substituted nitro group were designed, and their catalytic activities were predicted. The experimental TON data of newly designed porphyrins were in good agreement with the predicted ones, and the square of their correlation coefficient was more than 0.958. The above results demonstrated that the proposed structure-activity relationship model could be applied to design some new metalloporphyrin catalysts, and to predict their catalytic activity in cyclohexane oxidation.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 2,   Pages 222-223 doi: 10.1007/s11705-009-0059-y

Abstract: A green synthetic method using mixted solvents of di-methyl formamide(DMF) and acids instead of single DMF to synthesize metalloporphyrins(TRPPMCl) from TRPPH and MCl metallization was proposed in this paper. A series of TRPPMCl (M= Fe, Mn, Co) were synthesized through this innovative synthetic method, and these complexes were characterized with various spectroscopic techniques, including IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the metallization time was markedly reduced from about 10 h to 0.5 h in contrast with the conventional synthetic methods.

Xiaoguang BAI, Yuanbin SHE

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 3,   Pages 310-313 doi: 10.1007/s11705-009-0168-7

Abstract: The epoxidation of linear terminal olefins with metalloporphyrins in the presence of dioxygen and isobutyraldehyde under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure was investigated. The results show that all olefins could be smoothly converted to epoxides with high selectivities (70%-90%). For the metalloporphyrins with different catalytic activities within 1-hexene epoxidation in the order of Fe>Mn>Co, T( -Cl)PPFe(Ⅲ)Cl was most effective, with a 41.7% yield and 80.2% selectivity of 1,2-epoxyhexane. Various amounts of catalyst were investigated, and it was found that with only 10 ppm catalyst the yield of 1,2-epoxyhexane and turnover number (TON) could reach up to 41.9% and 41859, respectively.

Engineering doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2023.09.013

Abstract: The availability of nitrogen (N) is crucial for both the productivity of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems globally. However, the overuse of artificial fertilizers and the energy required to fix nitrogen have pushed the global nitrogen cycle (N-cycle) past its safe operating limits, leading to severe nitrogen pollution and the production of significant amounts of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) mechanism can counteract the release of ammonium and N2O in many oxygen-limited situations, assisting in the restoration of the homeostasis of the Earth’s N biogeochemistry. In this work, we looked into the characteristics of the anammox hotspots’ distribution across various types of ecosystems worldwide. Anammox hotspots are present at diverse oxic–anoxic interfaces in terrestrial systems, and they are most prevalent at the oxic–anoxic transition zone in aquatic ecosystems. Based on the discovery of an anammox hotspot capable of oxidizing ammonium anoxically into N2 without N2O by-product, we then designed an innovative concept and technical routes of nature-based anammox hotspot geoengineering for climate change, biodiversity loss, and efficient utilization of water resources. After 15 years of actual use, anammox hotspot geoengineering has proven to be effective in ensuring clean drinking water, regulating the climate, fostering plant and animal diversity, and enhancing long-term environmental quality. The sustainable biogeoengineering of anammox could be a workable natural remedy to resolve the conflicts between environmental pollution and food security connected to N management.
