Article Abstract

The Xylene Soluble (XS) is one of the most important parameters closely related to the performance of polypropylene (PP) materials. In order to obtain precise and accurate XS data, ASTM D 5492-17, based on the wet chemistry separation mechanism, strictly specifies each and every step of the procedure, such as a glassware setup, heating and cooling rates, etc. Meanwhile, crystallization elution fractionation (CEF), a newly developed technique, is capable of quantifying polyolefin structural regularity and comonomer distribution in a fast and automated manner. There have been a few pieces of preliminary work aiming to provide XS value from the CEF test with a limited number of samples. It is important to gain deep insights into the relationship between XS and the purge fraction of CEF by studying a large number of diverse polypropylene materials. In this paper, close to 300 commercial polypropylene and/or homemade polypropylene, both homopolypropylene (hPP) and propylene-ethylene copolymers (P/E) made with various catalysts under different conditions, were employed. XS values were obtained via CRYSTEX QC calibration. It was found that XS and the soluble fraction (SF) from CEF yielded a linear relationship with = 0.9942. This linearity is applicable regardless of polymer types, which can differ significantly in terms of molecular weight distribution, tacticity, chemical composition, and melt flow rate. One of the prominent advantages of using the CEF test instead of ASTM D 5492-17 is the elimination of the time-consuming procedure for much-improved precision and high productivity. In addition, the catalytic system was found to have an influence on SF and crystalline fractions of copolymers.

R. China.

Simultaneous removal and identification of trace-level cationic dye pollutants from water is both important and challenging owing to their highly polar and complex sample matrices. In this study, three covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were synthesized using 2, 4, 6-triformylphloroglucinol with ethidium bromide (EB) containing positively charged groups, 3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) containing negatively charged groups, and p-phenylenediamine (Pa) lacking charged groups. These were named EB-COFs, TpPa-1, and DP-COFs, respectively, and were employed as adsorbents for the extraction and identification of cationic dyes.

  • - Phenoxy carboxylic acid herbicides (PCAs) are persistent pollutants that can harm both the environment and human health, with strict drinking water limits set globally for compounds like 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
  • - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for detecting PCAs due to their high surface area and excellent adsorption abilities, but their practical use is hindered by challenges in isolating them and inefficiencies in liquid-phase mass transfer.
  • - The study explores creating a greener and more efficient method for preparing MOF aerogels, which combine the desirable properties of MOFs with aerogels' unique structure to enhance their adsorption efficiency for target molecules.

Site differentiation strategy for selective strontium uptake and elution within an all-inorganic polyoxoniobate framework.

Selective uptake and elution of trace amounts of hazardous radioactive Sr from large-scale high-level liquid waste (HLW) is crucial for sustainable development. Here, we propose a site differentiation strategy, based on the presence of distinct selective metal capture sites (concavity site and tweezer site) within the giant polyoxoniobate (PONb) nanoclusters of an all-inorganic PONb framework (FZU-1). Through this strategy, FZU-1 can not only effectively remove 98.
