Chemical effects induced by gas–liquid jet flow

The gas-liquid jet flow was proved to be capable of inducing chemical consequences which can lead to the decomposition of methylene blue (MB). The reaction process follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics....

Engineering surface defects-rich Ti3C2 quantum dots/mesoporous C3N4 hollow nanosphere Schottky junction for efficient N2 photofixation

Photo-driven fixation of nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3) is a kinetically complex multielectron reaction process. The key to photocatalytic N2 fixation lies in designing photocatalysts with high photoinduced carriers separation...

Electrochemical Bromination of Glycals

Herein, the convenient one-step electrochemical bromination of glycals using Bu4NBr as the brominating source under metal-catalyst-free and oxidant-free reaction conditions was described. A series of 2-bromoglycals bearing different electron-withdrawing or electron-donating protective groups were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields. The coupling of tri-O-benzyl-2-bromogalactal with phenylacetylene, potassium phenyltrifluoroborate, or a 6-OH acceptor was achieved to afford 2C-branched carbohydrates and disaccharides via Sonogashira coupling, Suzuki coupling, and Ferrier rearrangement reactions with high efficiency. The radical trapping and cyclic voltammetry experiments indicated that bromine radicals may be involved in the reaction process.

Mathematical model simulation of the reaction process between 2,4,6-trinitrotoluen and hydroxyl radio in water environment

In this study, the author formulated the equation that describes the reaction rate (mathematical modelling) of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluen and hydroxyl radical (OH*) of v = 4.3×108×[CTNT]1.1×[COH*]3.2 and mathematical simulation for the reaction process of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluen and OH* radical. The simulation results showed a decrease in concentration [CTNT] and a reaction rate proportional to each other; during the first 0-30 minutes of the reaction, the reaction speed is very fast. From the experimental results, the authors also determined that the 2,4,6-trinitrotoluen treatment performance in wastewater of the nonthermal plasma model reached >99% when increasing the treatment time to 120 minutes.
