    Magnetic chitosan(Fe3O4@CTS) microspheres were prepared through sol-gel method firstly. Then, a novel, magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers(MMIPs) were synthesized by aqueous solution polymerization with Fe3O4@CTS as support and functional monomer and methyl orange as template molecules. Characterizations of the obtained MMIPs were achieved by SEM, XRD, FT-IR and VSM. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the adsorption conditions, selectivity and reusability of the adsorption of MO on MIMPs. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 113.16 mg/g and equilibrium adsorption was achieved around 60 min observed at pH value 6.5 and temperature 25℃, and the MMIPs had specific adsorption capacity for MO compared with the non-imprinted magnetic particles(NIMPs). Adsorption process could be well described by Langmuir adsorption isotherms and the kinetic data could be fitted with pseudo-second-order equation. Furthermore, the selectivity coefficient of MO and other dyes onto MMIPs indicated an overall preference with the maximum selectivity coefficient(K) of 2.85. Moreover, MMIPs could be separated by external magnet, which could be reused for 5 times with a high adsorption efficiency overall 90% after desorption.

    MA Panpan, CHEN Bingyu, DI Mingwei
    2018, 52 (3):  16-22.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-5854.2018.03.003

    The wood fiber was activated by sodium hydroxide/urea mixed aqueous solution under freezing treatment. The freezing activation effect of wood fiber was characterized by measuring the mechanical properties of the self-bonding fiberboard hot-pressed with activated wood fiber and implementing the analysis of Fourier tansform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results showed that the sodium hydroxide/urea mixed aqueous solution had a certain activation effect on the wood fiber under freezing treatment. The optimized activated process was described as the mass ratio of total sodium hydroxide and urea (the mass ratio of sodium hydroxide to urea 7:12) to wood fiber 1:12, freezing temperature -15℃, freezing time 1.0 h, and wood fiber moisture content 20%. The static bending strength and internal bonding strength of fibreboard prepared with wood fiber freezing-activated by sodium hydroxide/urea mixed aqueous solution increased from 32.16 and 0.29 MPa to 45.53 and 1.21 MPa, and the water absorption rate and the thickness swelling rate decreased from 53.95% and 22.57% to 43.62% and 10.34% respectively compared to those of the unactivated wood fiber. Microscopic characterization by Fourier tansform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the hydrogen bonding structure of cellulose in the wood fiber was destroyed under the freezing activation treatment with sodium hydroxide/urea mixed solution, the expansion of cellulose I lattice was promoted and a new crystalline modification was produced, which reduced the degree of molecular association and consequently enhanced the hydroxyl activity of the wood fiber surface.

    (1S,4R)-4,7,7-trimethyl-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-1,4-diol(2) was synthesized from terpinolene by using hexadecyl pyridinium peroxo heteropolyoxomolybdotungstate(HPP) as redox-acid bifunctional catalyst and 30%(mass fraction) H2O2 as oxidant. The optimal conditions for the reaction were terpinolene 4 mmol, HPP catalyst 7.35%(calculated by the mass of terpinolene), solvent chloroform 0.8 mL, the reaction material ratio(molar ratio of H2O2 and terpinolene) 3, reaction temperature 35℃, reaction time 6 h. Under these conditions, the conversion rate of terpinolene reached 100% and the yield of compound 2 reached 29%. The molecular structure was identified by means of IR, NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The preliminary herbicidal activity assay indicated that compound 2 showed excellent inhibitory effect against the root growth and shoot elongation of ryegrass(Lolium rigidum); the inhibition rates against the root growth and shoot elongation were up to 91.8% and 80.7%, respectively, at the concentration of 120 mmol/L. Compared with the reported 1, 8-cineole, compound 2 had better inhibitory effect on ryegrass.

    The activated carbon was prepared from kenaf rod core by mechanical force pretreatment process and conventional process with phosphoric acid as activator. The effects of activation time on the yield, adsorption performance of the kenaf rod based-activated carbon were discussed. The pore structure characteristics were characterized by specific surface area and pore size analyzer and the surface functional groups were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that compared with the conventional process, the mechanical force pretreatment process made phosphoric acid permeate into the inner layer of raw material to strengthen the activation efficiency, which improved the yield, adsorption performance, BET specific surface area and pore volume of kenaf rod based-activated carbon. Under the activation time 90 min, the yield, iodine adsorption value, methylene blue adsorption value, BET specific surface area and total pore volume of the activated carbon prepared by mechanical force pretreatment process were 50.24%, 1 024 mg/g, 275 mg/g, 1 625.42 m2/g and 0.762 cm3/g, respectively. According to pore size analysis, activated carbons prepared by the two methods were mainly microporous and contained a certain number of mesopores. It was known from infrared spectrum analysis that the mechanical force pretreatment process didn't destroy the basic structure of activated carbon. The surface of kenaf rod based-activated carbon prepared by the two methods contained oxygen-containing functional groups, such as —OH,C—O and C=O groups.

    The enzymolysis lignin modified melamine urea formaldehyde resin(ELMUF) was prepared by using the classic alkali-acid-alkali method with enzymolysis lignin(EL), urea(U), formaldehyde(F) and melamine(M) as raw materials. The influences of the amount of EL on the curing time, curing temperature, free formaldehyde content, the strength and formaldehyde release of the plywood obtained from the prepared ELMUF resin were investigated. With the increase of the amount of EL, the free formaldehyde content decreased from 0.26% to 0.12%, the curing time increased from 96 s to 152 s and the viscosity increased from 86 mPa·s to 1 140 mPa·s. The curing process of resins with different amounts of EL was determined by DSC. The results showed that the introduction of EL could reduce the reactivity of the urea-formaldehyde resin. With the increase of the amount of EL, the curing temperature increased from 120.6℃ to 132.0℃, which required the hot pressing process requirements to be more stringent.

    Liquefaction of coconut fiber assisted via microwave irradiation was carried out with the mixture of macrogol 400(PEG-400) and glycerol(Gl) as liquefied reagent and concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. The liquefaction rates were obtained at different reaction time, amount of catalyst, temperature, the mass ratio of PEG-400 and Gl and the mass ratio of liquefied reagent and coconut fiber. The results showed that the optimal conditions for the liquefaction were liquefied reagent and coconut fiber mass ratio 5:1, the amount of sulfuric acid 3%(relative to the mass of liquefied reagent), reaction temperature 160℃, reaction time 20 min, PEG-400 and Gl mass ratio 4:1, the highest liquefaction rate was 88.83% under these conditions. And the viscosity(25℃) and density(20℃) of liquefied product were 0.235 Pa·s and 1.084 g/cm3. According to the different reaction time, the molecular weight of the liquefied products were analyzed by GPC. The results showed that weight average molecular mass and dispersion coefficient increased gradually with the increase of reaction time. The infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that during the liquefaction, the cellulose, lignin and some aliphatic hydrocarbon were liquefied and the liquefied product with abundant hydroxyl was obtained and some of the cellulose and lignin in the liquefaction residue was still not liquefied.
