Acicular mesoporous char sulfonic acid was prepared through a one-step method of removing the template at the same time of sulfonation using ethylene tar (ET) as the carbon source and acicular nanometer magnesium hydroxide as the hard template. This method was judged as better than the two-step method of removing the template before sulfonation because it protected the mesoporous structure from damage to a certain extent. When the mass ratio of ET to Mg(OH)2 was 1:3 and carbonization temperature was 550 °C, the catalyst prepared using the one-step method had the highest activity. The obtained catalyst had an amorphous structure with a specific surface area of 446.5 m2/g, an acid density of 4.68 mmol/g, and an average pore diameter of 3.5 nm. When the catalyst was applied in the dehydration of fructose to synthesize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), 97.5% fructose conversion and 80.1% 5-HMF yield can be obtained. The activity of the catalyst did not decrease after 5 cycles, which indicated that the catalyst had good stability. This research provides a promising strategy for preparation of mesoporous char sulfonic acid and comprehensive utilization of ET.

The study proposed a model called trend data hybrid multilayered perceptron network (TD-HMLP) coupled with a modified recursive prediction error (MRPE) training algorithm as a nonlinear modeling. An on-line model was used to forecast speed, revolution and fuel balanced in a Proton Gen2 car tank. The car measured the injected fuel from fuel injection sensor and become an input for the TD-HMLP model to forecast the speed, revolution and fuel balanced in tank. These forecasted variables were also measured from the car sensors. The criterions for performances are based on the one step ahead forecasting (OSA), multi-step ahead forecasting (MSA) and adjusted R2. The forecasting result showed that TD-HMLP network is better than the conventional HMLP network to maintain higher value in adjusted R2 and produce better step in multi-step ahead forecasting. These preliminary results show that the proposed modeling approach is capable to be used as an on-line information forecaster of a moving car.

Geopolymer-TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by two different techniques, namely the two-step acidification calcination treatment and one-step adding method. The potential photocatalytic activities of geopolymer-TiO2 nanocomposites prepared by the two different methods were tested and compared. Nanocomposites prepared via the one-step process showed better photocatalytic activity. The amount of TiO2 particles loaded on the surface of the foaming materials was investigated by XRD and SEM-Mapping. By comparing with the sample obtained from two-step treatment, the TiO2 particles were distributed uniformly on the surface of the foaming materials for the sample obtained from the one-step method in this study. Results showed that the specific surface area of the geopolymer-TiO2 prepared by the one-step treatment process (28.67 m2/g) was significantly lower than the two-step acidification calcination process (215.04 m2/g), while the photocatalytic efficiency with methylene blue trihydrate (MB) was better. This is due to the more stable structure of geopolymer-TiO2 nanocomposites, the better dispersion and more loading of TiO2 particles on the foaming materials surfaces, leading to the enhanced photocatalytic activity.

In the formalism of constrained mechanics, such as that which underlies the SHAKE and RATTLE methods of molecular dynamics, we present an algorithm to convert any one-step integration method to a variational integrator of the same order. The one-step method is arbitrary, and the conversion can be automated, resulting in a powerful and flexible approach to the generation of novel variational integrators.

In this work, we report the synthesis method of carbon quantum dots (CDs) using the one-step method for fast and effective metal ion determination. Ascorbic acid was used as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly precursor. High-pressure and high-temperature reactors were used for this purpose. Microscopic characterization revealed the size of CDs was in the range of 2–6 nm and they had an ordered structure. The photoluminescence properties of the CDs depend on the process temperature, and we obtained the highest PL spectra for 6 h of hydrothermal reaction. The maximum emission spectra depend poorly on synthesis time. Further characterization shows that CDs are a good contender for sensing Fe3+ in aqueous systems and can detect concentrations up to 0.49 ppm. The emission spectra efficiency was enhanced by up to 200% with synthesis time.
