High-alumina coal fly ash (HAFA) is an important aluminum and silicon resource. In terms of its comprehensive utilization, how to efficiently separate aluminum and silicon must be resolved. In this work, a mechanochemical activation method in the desilication process is adopted and investigated. Desilication ratio, efficient desilicated ratio, microscopic appearance, and coordination structure change in aluminum-silicon atoms are investigated during mechanochemical activation process. Results indicate that the Al-O-Si coordination structure in HAFA can be transformed from Q (3Al) and Q (2Al) to reactive Q (1Al) structure, and the radio of Q (1Al) with high activity increased from 6.93% to 14.47%, which can improve HAFA reaction activity obviously. During the desilication process, the aluminum-silicon mass ratio (A/S) can be elevated from 1.23 to 2.56 after the process optimization, which provides a high-quality raw material for further high-valued utilization of HAFA.

Rhabdophane, CePO∙HO, nanoparticles were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis with different durations and thoroughly characterized by various characterization techniques. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the optimal synthesis duration was 15 min, since, in this case, pure rhabdophane is obtained, without traces of contamination by the vessel material. The size of the obtained nanoparticles, as determined from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, was around 5 nm.

The Role of Torsion on the Force-Coupled Reactivity of a Fluorenyl Naphthopyran Mechanophore.

The unique reactivity of molecules under force commands an understanding of structure-mechanochemical activity relationships. While conceptual frameworks for understanding force transduction in many systems are established, systematic investigations into force-coupled molecular torsions are limited. Here, we describe a novel fluorenyl naphthopyran mechanophore for which mechanical force is uniquely coupled to the torsional motions associated with the overall chemical transformation as a result of the conformational rigidity imposed by the fluorene group.

In recent years, mechanosynthesis of peptides through either chemical or enzymatic routes has been accomplished. In part, this advancement has been driven due to the organocatalytic properties of peptide-based biomaterials. In this work, we report the merging of chemical and enzymatic protocols under mechanochemical conditions to synthesize peptide materials based on L-proline and L-phenylalanine.
