We report the extremely high and selective uptake of selenium oxyanions by a novel anion exchanger, Ni1-xZn2x(OH)2(OCOCH3)2xnH2O (0.15<x<0.25). The tested Ni–Zn basic salt (x=0.24) exhibited very high selectivity for Se(IV) [Kd = 9.0 × 104 cm3/g with an initial Se(IV) concentration of 1 × 10-4 M] in the presence of 0.1 M C1− solution. The uptake of Se(IV) on the Ni–Zn basic salt was irreversible when treated with solutions containing 1 N C1− 1N NO3− or 1 N PO43−This novel exchanger also showed high Kd (2.6 × 103 cm3/g) for Se(VI), and therefore it is expected to be useful for decontamination and removal of selenium oxyanions from contaminated water.

We have compared the microwave-hydrothermal (M-H) processing with conventional hydrothermal (C-H) processing in the preparation of two layered anion exchangers, i.e., Mg3Al(OH)8NO3 · nH2O and Ni1-xZn2x(OH)2(CH3COO)2x · nH2O. Both these phases can be crystallized more rapidly (an order of magnitude) under M-H processing compared to C-H processing. The above layered mixed basic salt of Ni and Zn was found to exhibit very high selectivity for PO4= (Kd = 15,000). Its order of selectivity for various anions in the presence of 0.1 N̲ NaC1 (ratio of C1- to anion in question is 100) increases as follows: PO4= ≫ SO4= > NO3-.

A 2 wt % Pd/C catalyst has been prepared by chemical impregnation and used to catalyze the hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB) to o-chloroaniline (o-CAN) in solvent-free conditions. The effects of reaction temperature, H2 pressure, and stirring intensity on the hydrogenation kinetics have been investigated. The hydrogenation reaction showed very high selectivity with dehalogenation side products as low as 0.3% of total yield. The favorable reaction conditions were found to be temperature T = 383 K, stirring speed = 900 rpm, and feeding ratio CNB/catalyst = 200/1 (m/m). The recycled Pd/C still retained more than 98% of its original selectivity after 12 repeat used, indicating the catalyst had strong potentials for commercial application at industrial scale.

Pd-only catalyst supported on activated carbon has been prepared by chemical impregnation and used to catalyze the hydrogenation of 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene (2-CNT) to 3-chloro-2-methylaniline in solvent-free condition. The effects of reaction temperature,H2 pressure on the hydrogenation have been investigated. The reaction showed very high selectivity with the dehalogenation side product with a yield of less than 1.2 %. The most favorable conditions could be temperature= 353 K, stirring speed= 1200 rpm, H2 pressure= 1 MPa. The catalytic hydrogenation reaction was found to have a zero order with hydrogen and 1 order with 2-CNT. The apparent activation energy of the hydrogenation was 60.58 kJ/mol.

Macro-sized intrinsically shielded hydrogel beads have been prepared from BSA and CM-dextran grafted with CB using a technique based on freeze-thawing gelation method. The size of the beads lies in around 500 μm. Isothemal titration calorimetry (ITC) showed that the relative binding affinities of the lysozyme for CB, compared with BSA, at pH 3.0 was stronger than that at pH 7.4. They were employed for the affinity separation of lysozyme using chromatography column. Their adsorption capacity for lysozyme at pH 3.0 is higher than that at pH 9. In a binary mixture of lysozyme and ovalbumin, the beads showed very high selectivity toward lysozyme. Lysozyme of very high purity (> 93%) was obtained from a mixture of lysozyme and ovalbumin, and 85% from egg white solution. The results indicate that the macro-sized bead can be used for the separation, purification, and recovery of lysozyme in a chromatograph column.

A hybrid photocatalyst composed of an yttrium–tantalum oxynitride (with a 2.1 eV band gap) and a binuclear Ru(ii) complex containing both photosensitizing and catalytic units was capable of reducing CO2 to HCOOH with very high selectivity (>99%) under visible light (>400 nm) irradiation.
