Title: Understanding the unique sorption of alkane- α , ω -diols in silicalite-1

Abstract

Adsorption equilibria of alkane-α, ω-diols (propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, pentane-1,5-diol, and hexane-1,6-diol) from aqueous solution onto an all-silica zeolite of the type mordenite framework inverted (MFI, also known as silicalite-1) are obtained by simulations and experiments at T = 323 K and also for pentane-1,5-diol (C5) at 348 and 383 K. After an initial slow rise, isotherms at T = 323 K exhibit steep changes in loading, reaching saturation at 10, 9, 8, and 7 molec/uc as the number of carbon atoms of the diols increases from 3 to 6. The abrupt change in loading corresponds to a minimum in the free energy of adsorption (from vapor to zeolite) that is associated with a rapid rise in the number of hydrogen bonds per sorbate molecule due to the formation of large clusters. For C5 at low loading, the centers-of-mass primarily occupy the channel intersections with oxygens oriented along the straight channels where intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed. At saturation loading, the C5 centers-of-mass instead occupy the straight and zig-zag channels, and nearly all C5 molecules are involved in a percolating hydrogen-bonding network (this also occurs for C6). With increasing temperature, the C5 isotherm decreases in steepness as the minimum in free energymore »« less

With increasing temperature, the C5 isotherm decreases in steepness as the minimum in free energy of adsorption decreases in depth and a less-ordered structure of the adsorbed molecules results in a lower number of diol–diol hydrogen bonds. However, the C5 isotherm does not shift significantly in concentration of the adsorption onset, as the free energies of solvation and adsorption increase by similar and compensating amounts. At T = 323 and 348 K, the steep change for the C5 adsorption isotherm is found to be a phase transition (as indicated by a bimodal distribution of unit cell occupancies at intermediate loading) from a less-dense phase with only small hydrogen-bonded clusters to an ordered solid phase with loadings of 8 molec/uc. At T = 383 K, the sorbates are less ordered, the distribution of occupancies becomes unimodal at intermediate loading, and the loading rises more gradually with concentration. Several different enhanced sampling methods are utilized for these simulations.},

New catalytic strategies for α,ω-diols production from lignocellulosic biomass

Journal Article He, Jiayue ; Huang, Kefeng ; Barnett, Kevin J. ; ... - Faraday Discussions

Catalytic strategies for the synthesis of 1,5-pentanediol (PDO) with 69% yield from hemicellulose and the synthesis of 1,6-hexanediol (HDO) with 28% yield from cellulose are presented. Fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass (white birch wood chips) in gamma-valerolactone (GVL)/H ₂O generates a pure cellulose solid and a liquid stream containing hemicellulose and lignin, which is further dehydrated to furfural with 85% yield. Furfural is converted to PDO with sequential dehydration, hydration, ring-opening tautomerization, and hydrogenation reactions. Acid-catalyzed cellulose dehydration in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H ₂O produces a mixture of levoglucosenone (LGO) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are converted with hydrogen to tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol (THFDM). HDO ismore »« less

Multiband electronic transport in α-Yb _1₋xSr _x AlB ₄ [ x = 0, 0.19(3)] single crystals

Journal Article Ryu, Hyejin ; Abeykoon, Milinda ; Bozin, Emil ; ... - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

Here we report on the evidence for the multiband electronic transport in α- YbAlB ₄ and α-Yb _0.81(2)Sr _0.19(3)AlB ₄. Multiband transport reveals itself below 10 K in both compounds via Hall effect measurements, whereas anisotropic magnetic ground state sets in below 3 K in α-Yb _0.81(2)Sr _0.19(3)AlB ₄. Our results show that Sr ²⁺ substitution enhances conductivity, but does not change the quasiparticle mass of bands induced by heavy fermion hybridization.

Pressure-induced kinetics of the α to ω transition in zirconium

Journal Article Jacobsen, M. K. ; Velisavljevic, N. ; Sinogeikin, S. V. - Journal of Applied Physics

Diamond anvil cells (DAC) coupled with x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements are one of the primary techniques for investigating structural stability of materials at high pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions. DAC-XRD has been predominantly used to resolve structural information at set P-T conditions and, consequently, provides P-T phase diagram information on a broad range of materials. With advances in large scale synchrotron x-ray facilities and corresponding x-ray diagnostic capabilities, it is now becoming possible to perform sub-second time resolved measurements on micron sized DAC samples. As a result, there is an opportunity to gain valuable information about the kinetics of structural phase transformationsmore »« less
