Modification of different zirconium propoxide precursors with H(2)dea was investigated by characterization of the isolated modified species. Upon modification of zirconium n-propoxide and [Zr(O(n)Pr)(O(i)Pr)(3)((i)PrOH)](2) with (1/2) a mol equivalent of H(2)dea the complexes [Zr(2)(O(n)Pr)(6)(OCH(2)CH(2))(2)NH](2) (1) and [Zr(2)(O(n)Pr)(2)(O(i)Pr)(4)(OCH(2)CH(2))(2)NH](2) (2) were obtained. However, (1)H-NMR studies of these tetranuclear compounds showed that these are not time-stable either in solution or solid form. The effect of this time instability on material properties is demonstrated by light scattering and TEM experiments. Modification of zirconium isopropoxide with either (1/2) or 1 equivalent mol of H(2)dea results in formation of the trinuclear complex, Zr{eta(3)mu(2)-NH(C(2)H(4)O)(2)}(3)[Zr(O(i)Pr)(3)](2)(iPrOH)(2) (3) countering a unique nona-coordinated central zirconium atom. This complex 3 is one of the first modified zirconium propoxide precursors shown to be stable in solution for long periods of time. The particle size and morphology of the products of sol-gel synthesis are strongly dependent on the time factor and eventual heat treatment of the precursor solution. Reproducible sol-gel synthesis requires the use of solution stable precursors.

Effect of cerium-zirconium oxide-loaded red mud on the selective catalytic reduction of NO in downhole diesel vehicle exhaust.

Environ Pollut

January 2025

College of Safety and Environmental Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, Shandong Province, China; State Key Laboratory of Mining Disaster Prevention and Control Co-found by Shandong Province and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China.

Red mud (RM), an iron oxide-rich solid waste, shows potential as a catalyst for selective catalytic reduction in denitrification processes. This study investigates the catalytic performance and mechanism of metal-modified RM in reducing NO from diesel vehicle exhaust. Acid-washed RM catalysts were impregnated with varying ratios of cerium (Ce) and zirconium (Zr).

This manuscript explores the post-synthetic modification (PSM) of amine-functionalized porous coordination cages, specifically focusing on the formation of imine bonds through reactions with aldehydes. Targeting various cage topologies, including zirconium-, magnesium-, and molybdenum-based structures, we demonstrate the tunability of cage solubility and porosity through selective functionalization where the proximity of amine groups on the parent cage impacts the extent of modification. The work highlights the reversible nature of imine formation, offering potential applications in solubility switching and mixed-metal solid synthesis.

Study of modified ion exchange resins for phosphorus removal from glyphosate by-product salt.

Environ Technol

December 2024

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Yancheng Institute of Technology, Yancheng, People's Republic of China.

In order to achieve the goal of phosphate removal from glyphosate by-product salts, zirconium and zinc ions were successfully loaded onto D202 resin by co-precipitation modification method in this study, and their effectiveness in phosphate removal was evaluated under various conditions. The results of static adsorption experiments showed that the Zr/Zn@D202 resin effectively reduced the phosphate concentration in the glyphosate by-product salts from 10 mg/L to less than 0.1 mg/L, which met the national level emission standard ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on Ochratoxin A (OTA), a harmful food contaminant that is difficult to break down, and presents a new method for efficiently detecting it using an electrochemical aptasensor, which is quick and cost-effective.
  • - The detection method involves a novel signal amplification technique with AuPt nanoparticles and a DNA walker mechanism, resulting in a significant increase in detection sensitivity, achieving a detection limit as low as 0.525 pg/mL.
  • - The results indicate that the aptasensor is not only sensitive and efficient for OTA detection but also reliably applicable in food samples, paving the way for improved food safety testing methods.
