Based on its activity, we synthesized two new synthetic bromophenols and their methoxy derivatives from vanillin using the structure of natural bromophenol 1 as a scaffold. The structures of these bromophenols were elucidated from H NMR, 13C NMR, and high resolution electron ionization mass spectrometry as 2,3-dibromo-1-(2'-bromo-6'-(3",4"-dimethoxybenzyl)- 3 ',4 '-dimethoxybenzyl)-4,5 -dimethoxybenzene (2), 2,3-dibromo- 1 -(2 '-bromo-6'-(2 "-bromo-4",5 "-dimethoxy- benzyl)-3',4'-dimethoxybenzyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene (3), 3,4-dibromo-5-(2'-bromo-6'-(2"-bromo-4",5"- dihydroxybenzyl)-3',4'-dihydroxybenzyl)pyrocatechol (4) and 3,4-dibromo-5-(2'-bromo-6'-(3",4"- dihydroxybenzyl)-3',4'-dihydroxybenzyl)pyrocatechol (5). PTP1B inhibition activities of these compounds were evaluated using a colorimetric assay, and compounds 3 and 4 demonstrated interesting activity against PTP1B.展开更多

The distribution behavior of Br and I during coal combustion were researched and the environmental effects of Br and I in BA, FA and gas phase were analyzed. The results show that both elements Br and I in combustion products from TPP are usually pre- sent in decreasing order of the distribution rate as gas phase, FA and BA. In FA and BA, the distribution rate of Br (8.11% and 1.68%, respectively) are generally lower than that of I (9.26% and 4.67%, respectively); on the contrary, in gas phase, the former (90.2%) is higher than the latter (86.9%). In addition, for gas phase, the percentage of Br: (2.0%-75%) in total Br is generally larger than that of I2 (1.0%-10%) in total I. The environmental effects for Br and I emitted into atmosphere from TPP may be larger than those remained and captured by both FA and BA.展开更多

At the beginning, the samples were decomposed by HNO3 and H2504, and then analyzed by SF-ICP-MS. Most of the spectral interferences could be avoided by measuring in different mass resolution modes. The matrix effects due to the excess of sulfuric acid and Mn were evaluated. Correction of matrix effects was conducted by using the internal standard elements. The optimum condition for the determination was investigated and discussed. The detection limit is in the range of 0.001-0.169 gg/L. The current method is applied to the determination of trace impurities in electrolytic manganese metal. And experiments show that good results can be obtained much faster, more accurately and conveniently by current method.展开更多

Based on these samples, we used inductively coupled-plasma mass spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer techniques, and borehole exploration data, to investigate the distribution, occurrence and enrichment causes of gallium (Ga) in the coals. Our results show: (1) Gallium is significantly enriched in the coal seams from the study area, with an average content of 18.8-26.0 ppm. Gallium is distributed heterogeneously in the coals, and reaches ore-forming scales only in No. 6 coal of Heidaigou Surface Mine, not in the other mining districts of Jungar Coalfield. (2) On the horizontal plane, Ga is enriched in the main minable coals from the northern and middle part of the coalfield. In the vertical profile, Ga content in the coal seams is higher at the base of Taiyuan Formation (Nos. 8 and 9) and Shanxi Formation (Nos. 3 and 4) than at the top of the Taiyuan Formation. Within the identical coal seam, Ga content is higher in the benches near the roof and floor than in the middle section. (3) Gallium in the coals is associated mainly with kaolinite and boehmite. Additionally, Ga may be adsorbed to some extent by humic acid, resulting in a high level in weathering coal. (4) Geological factors affect Ga enrichment in coal, such as the prop- erty of parent rocks in the source area, the sedimentary environment, organic matter, structure, and past magmatic hydrothermal activity. Especially, Ga content in parent rocks plays a leading role. (5) The mobility and precipitation of trace elements like Ga are controlled principally by the geochemical behavior of the major element A1. Terrestrial and transgressive environments can cause the precipitation of bauxite, whereas marine-continental depositional environments may cause the separation of Ga from A1. In addition, Ga may migrate in the form of gas tively enriched in high-volatile coal. and may be affected by the ground temperature. Thus, it is relatively enriched in high-volatile coal.展开更多
