The β-CD/NIPAAm-SA microspheres with temperature and pH sensibility were synthesized with β-cyclodextrin(β-CD), N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) and succinic anhydride(SA), and their drug-releasing properties were investigated. SEM showed that the β-CD/NIPAAm-SA microspheres had a good sphericity and a grain size of 200-300µm.And the swelling results indicated that the swelling rate was decreased with temperature raising and increased with pH value improving, and the phase transition volume changed suddenly at the temperature of about 27°C and 38°C, and the pH values of about 1.4 and 7.4. It revealed that the β-CD/NIPAAm-SA microspheres had pH and temperature sensibilities.

This study presents for the first time the synthesis and characterization of GO (graphene oxide), PFSiC (polyferric silicate chloride), and hybrid GO-PFSiC derivatives, aiming to enhance synergistically the performance of coagulation, when applied for the treatment of water. The structure and the morphology of composite GO-PFSiC coagulants were studied in detail by the application of FTIR, XRD, and SEM characterization techniques. Furthermore, the proposed coagulants were applied for the treatment of simulated turbid surface water. The effects of the reagent’s dosage, pH value, and experimental/operational conditions on the coagulation efficiency, applied mainly for the removal of turbidity, were examined. The results, obtained from the FTIR and XRD measurements, showed the presence of a bond between the PFSiC and the GO surface, indicating that the PFSiC particles are distributed uniformly on the surface of graphene, which was also confirmed by the SEM images. Especially, the composite compound GO-PFSiC1.5-15-0.5 presents the most uniform distribution of iron on the surface of graphene oxide and exhibits the optimum coagulation efficiency, while it significantly reduces the turbidity for doses above 3–5 mg/L, i.e., achieving the respective legislation limit as proposed by WHO. Specifically, at the alkaline pH values (>7.9), the removal of turbidity reaches 96%. Consequently, the results of this study render these materials as potential coagulant agents for further research and applications, aiming to also achieve the co-removal of other water components.

A sol-gel auto-ignited synthesis, which is a hybrid of sol-gel and auto-ignited techniques, was applied to preparation of homogeneous and stoichiometric BaCe0.8Y0.2O2.9 nanocrystalline ceramic powder as solid electrolyte used in solid oxide fuel cells at 1000°C. Optimal pH value for the mixed citrate-nitrate solutions was determined by calculation. The DTA-TG and XRD were used to investigate the thermal decomposition of the gel precursor. The structure and phase present of the nanocrystalline BaCe0.8Y0.2O2.9 powders were characterized by XRD, BET and SEM techniques.

Nano-calcium titanate-based coated aluminum oxide (ACCTO) was successfully prepared by the citrate acid sol-gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its application in speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from water was studied. The conditions of adsorption and elution were investigated. The results show that nanometer calcium titanate could be immobilized on the aluminum oxide firmly, becoming a composite adsorbent. Two forms of chromium showed different adsorption capability at different pH values, Cr (III) selectively retained at pH 8-14, whereas Cr (VI) retained at pH≤2. So separation of the Cr(III) and Cr(VI) is possible. Retained species were eluted with 5mL of 1 mol•L-1 HCl and NaOH. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The adsorption agent has a promising prospect in removal or enriching and separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water.

In order to prepare carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester (HBP-COOH), succinic anhydride was used to modify hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester (HBP-OH), and the influences of the solvents, catalysts and time on the product’s structure were investigated. When THF is used as the solvent, sodium acetate as the catalyst, the molar ratio of succinic anhydride and hydroxyl groups is 3:1, and the reaction time is 6 h at 65°C, the modification extent of the hydroxyl groups is about 99% with about 95% yield. HBP-COOH has much lower glass transition temperature than that of HBP-OH due to its long and flexible end-groups.
