Catalytic oxidation of phenol in wastewater-A new application of the amorphous Fe78Si9B13 alloy

The amorphous Fe78Si9B13 alloy was used as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst in the process of phenol degradation.The influences of main operating parameters such as reaction temperature,catalyst amount,hydrogen peroxide dosage and initial pH of solution on phenol degradation rate were investigated.The maximum mineralization of phenol was achieved at 60°C,6 g/L Fe78Si9B13, 0.31 mol/L hydrogen peroxide,with an initial pH of 2.5.More than 99%of phenol was completely removed under the optimum conditions within 10 min for a solution containing 1000 mg/L of phenol.Batch experiments for solutions containing phenol con- centrations ranging from 50 to 2000 mg/L were investigated under the above conditions and the same excellent degradation rate was obtained.The Fe78Si9B13 showed better catalytic activity than iron powder and Fe 2+ .Addition of n-butannol(hydroxyl radical scavenger)decreased the degradation rate of phenol,which demonstrates that hydroxyl radicals were mainly responsible for the removal of phenol.We demonstrated that phenol may be degraded by hydroxyl radicals decomposed by hydrogen peroxide on the surface of Fe78Si9B13 and illustrated the reaction mechanism for this process.This amorphous alloy exhibited high stability in recycling experiments and showed excellent reuse performance even after continuous operations of 8 cycles.     

Endogenously generated amyloid β increases membrane fluidity in neural 2a cells

The effect of endogenously generated amyloid β on membrane fluidity was investigated in Neural 2a cells stably expressing Swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein (APPswe). Membrane fluidity was studied by fluorescence polarizability using 1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-Hexatriene (DPH) as the fluorescence probe. It was found that the membrane fluidity in APPswe cells was significantly higher than that in its wild type counterparts. Alleviating the effect of amyloid β either by γ secretase activity inhibition or by amy...     

Composition dependence of viscosity for Al_(1-x)Mg_x(0=x=0.10) alloys

Viscosities of molten Al(1-x)Mgx (0≤x≤0.10) alloys have been measured in the temperature range of 973 K―1173 K by a torsional oscillation cup method. The viscosity dependence on temperature for Al(1-x)Mgx (0≤x≤0.10) melts obeys Arrhenius equation. The viscosity increases with increasing mag-nesium concentration in the investigated system. There is an important relationship between viscosity and its glass-forming ability for metallic melt.     

Thermodynamic determination of fragility in La-based glass-forming liquid

Differences in the thermodynamic functions between the liquid and crystalline states of La-based bulk metallic glasses alloys were calculated with the specific heat capacity Cp and the fusion heat ΔHf,which we measured. Fragility indexes having different thermodynamic definitions were calculated from the temperature dependence of excess entropy ΔSliq-cry. It is ambiguous for La-based glass-forming liquid to evaluate fragility from the intercepts of ΔSliq-cry-temperature curves. We found that the thermodynam...     

A new threshold of uncovering the nature of glass transition:The slow β relaxation in glassy states

The glass transition involves more than one dynamic relaxation mechanisms in supercooled liquids,such as α relaxation,slow β relaxation and fast β relaxation and so on.For the traditional theoretical system,α relaxation is believed mainly responsible for the nature of the glass transition as the beginning of the phenomenon.This idea,however,has been open to a big challenge since recent studies have indicated that slow β relaxation closely relates to α relaxation.Slow β relaxation determines the characterist...

Amyloid precursor protein-mediated modulation of capacitive calcium entry

Alzheimer’s disease(AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder.In the present study,the function of amyloid precursor protein(APP) in modulating capacitive calcium entry(CCE),a refilling mechanism for depleted intracellular calcium stores,was investigated.CCE in neural 2a(N2a) cells stably expressing wild-type human APP was lower than in wild-type N2a cells,while CCE in APP knockout mouse embryonic fibroblast(MEF) cells was higher than in their wild-type counterparts.We demonstrate that wild-type APP depresses CCE.Furthermore,using N2a cells transfected with C-terminal APP fragments,we show that these fragments anchored in the cell membrane play an important role in CCE depression.     

Antibacterial effect of metallic glasses

The antibacterial effect of Fe-based,Ni-based and Cu-based metallic glasses has been studied in this research.All test metallic glasses were found to inhibit growth of Esherichia coli.The optical density value of E.coli flocculation exposed to metallic glasses,from which the number of bacteria was determined,was 65% lower than that of the match group,and 57% lower than that of the ferrite group.Moreover,the antibacterial effect was not significantly different(σ=0.05) between Cu-based,Ni-based and Fe-based metallic glasses.These results extend our understanding of the antibacterial effect of metallic antibacterial materials,and suggest new applications for metallic glasses.
