药学专业文献翻译Enzymatic Synthesis and Antioxidant Properties of Poly (rutin) 聚(芦丁)的酶促合成与抗氧化性质†‡†‡††Motoichi Kurisawa, Joo Eun Chung, Hiroshi Uyama,* and Shiro Kobayashi*Abstract 摘要Rutin, quercetin-3-rutinoside, is one of the most famous glycosides of flavonoid and widely present in many plants. In this study, we performed an oxidative polymerization of rutin using Myceliophthora laccase as catalyst in a mixture of methanol and buffer to produce a flavonoid polymer and evaluated antioxidant properties of the resultant polymer. Under selected conditions , the polymer with molecular weight of several thousands was obtained in good yields. The resulting polymer was readily soluble in water, DMF, and DMSO, although rutin monomer showed very low water solubility. UV measurement showed that the polymer had broad transition peaks around 255 and 350 nm in water, which were red-shifted in an alkaline solution. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurement showed the presence of a radical in the polymer. The polymer showed greatly improved superoxide scavenging activity and inhibition effects on human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation initiated by 2,2‘-azobis(2-amidino-propane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), compared with the rutin monomer. The polymer also protected endothelial cells from oxidative injuryinduced by AAPH as a radical generator with a much greater effect than the rutin monomer.芦丁,槲皮素芸香糖苷,是最著名的黄酮类糖苷之一,广泛存在于很多植物中。

一.好的论文题目是成功的一半好的论文,每一个部分都需要精雕细琢。
我们先来看看Science, Nature 子刊上用的都是些什么题目,到底这些题目暗含哪些玄机?以下是从2016年发表的论文中随机挑选的一些题目,我将其做了一下简单的分类:1. Water splitting–biosynthetic system with CO2reductionefficiencies exceeding?photosynthesis. (Science, 2016, 352, 1210)类似: Scalable water splitting on particulate photocatalyst sheets with asolar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency?exceeding1%(Nature Materials 2016,15,611-615)这种题目适合哪类文章?适合于那种性能极其显着的文章(可以创纪录的文章),比如说Nocera et al. 的Science, 2016, 352, 1210,直接与光合作用进行对比,给人的震撼是非常强的。
这种对比效果能够一下子抓住人们的眼球,吸引着读者进行阅读。
要点:使用这样的题目首先你的实验结果得够牛,你对于实验结果要足够自信,对于背景知识的了解得要足够深。
因为取这样的题目意味着你要真正达到了某一个高度。
如果明明有很多大海在那里,你个小池塘和小水坑进行比较,那么会闹笑话的。

The samples before and after oxidation have been characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The results show that the oxidation kinetics appear the parabolic law at low temperature. A liquid B2O3 coating on the surface of TiB2 ceramic could prevent from further oxidation. After the ceramic samples were cooled, their sur-faces were covered with glassy B2O3. At high temperature, the oxidation reaction of TiB2 ceramics showed the parabolic law only before 4h. Porous rutile TiO2 formed on the surface. But the oxidation behavior with the parabolic law for the TiB2 ceramics was not observed after oxidation for 4h because of the long path of diffusion, strong diffusion resistance and low reaction rate.Key words: titanium diboride; oxidation kinetics; microstructureTitanium diboride with P6/mmm structure is a uniquely stable compound of the boron element and tita-nium element.[1] TiB2 based materials have received wide attention because of their high hardness and elastic modulus, good abrasion resistance and superior thermal and electrical conductivity.[2–3] Potential applications in-clude high temperature structural materials, cutting tools, armor, electrodes in metal smelting and wear parts. De-spite its useful properties, the application of monolithic TiB2 is limited by poor sinterability, exaggerated grain growth at high temperature and poor oxidation resistance above 800.℃[4–5]The starting temperature to oxidize TiB2 ceramics is about 400℃ and oxidation kinetics is controlled by outward diffusion of interstitial titanium ions and inner diffusion of oxygen ions.[5–6] But there are conflicting viewpoints about the detailed oxidation process, for ex-ample, about the oxidation products and oxidation mechanism. Koh et al.[7] investigated the oxidation be-havior of dense TiB2 specimens with 2.5% in mass (the same below) Si3N4 and found that TiB2 exhibited two distinct oxidation behaviors depending on the tempera-ture. At temperatures below 1000℃, the oxidation layer comprised two layers: an inner layer of crystalline TiO2 and an outer layer mainly composed of B2O3.

paper.Visible-Light Photocatalysis in Nitrogen-Doped TitaniumOxidesR.Asahi,*T.Morikawa,T.Ohwaki,K.Aoki,Y.TagaTo use solar irradiation or interior lighting efficiently,we sought a photocatalyst with high reactivity under visible light.Films and powders of TiO 2-x N x have revealed an improvement over titanium dioxide (TiO 2)under visible light (wavelength Ͻ500nanometers)in optical absorption and photocatalytic ac-tivity such as photodegradations of methylene blue and gaseous acetaldehyde and hydrophilicity of the film surface.Nitrogen doped into substitutional sites of TiO 2has proven to be indispensable for band-gap narrowing and photocat-alytic activity,as assessed by first-principles calculations and x-ray photo-emission spectroscopy.Since photoinduced decomposition of water on TiO 2electrodes was discovered (1),semicon-ductor-based photocatalysis has attracted exten-sive interest.One particular focus has been on applications in which organic molecules are photodegraded,such as water and air purifica-tions (2–4).Most of the investigations have focused on TiO 2(5–7),which shows relatively high reactivity and chemical stability under ul-traviolet (UV)light [wavelength ()Ͻ387nm],whose energy exceeds the band gap of 3.2eV in the anatase crystalline phase.The development of photocatalysts that can yield high reactivity under visible light (Ͼ380nm)should allow the main part of the solar spectrum,and even poor illumination of interior lighting,to be used.One approach has been to dope transition metals into TiO 2(8–10),and another has been to form reduced TiO x photo-catalysts (11,12).However,doped materials suffer from a thermal instability (9),an increase of carrier-recombination centers,or the require-ment of an expensive ion-implantation facility (10).Reducing TiO 2introduces localized oxy-gen vacancy states located at 0.75to 1.18eV below the conduction band minimum (CBM)of TiO 2(12),so that the energy levels of the optically excited electrons will be lower than the redox potential of the hydrogen evolution (H 2/H 2O)located just below the CBM of TiO 2(13)and that the electron mobility in the bulk region will be small because of the localization.We have considered whether visible-lightactivity could be introduced in TiO 2by doping,and we set the following requirements:(i)dop-ing should produce states in the band gap of TiO 2that absorb visible light;(ii)the CBM,including subsequent impurity states,should be as high as that of TiO 2or higher than the H 2/H 2O level to ensure its photoreduction ac-tivity;and (iii)the states in the gap should overlap sufficiently with the band states of TiO 2to transfer photoexcited carriers to reactive sites at the catalyst surface within their lifetime.Conditions ii and iii require that we use anionic species for the doping rather than cationic met-als,which often give quite localized d states deep in the band gap of TiO 2and result in recombination centers of carriers.We have cal-culated densities of states (DOSs)of the substi-tutional doping of C,N,F,P,or S for O in the anatase TiO 2crystal,by the full-potential lin-earized augmented plane wave (FLAPW)for-malism (14,15)in the framework of the local density approximation (LDA)(16)(Fig.1).The substitutional doping of N was the most effective because its p states contribute to the band-gap narrowing by mixing with O 2p states.Although doping with S shows a similar band-gap narrowing,it would be difficult to incorporate it into the TiO 2crystal because of its large ionic radius,as evidenced by a much larger formation energy required for the substi-tution of S than that required for the substitution of N (17).The states introduced by C and P are too deep in the gap to satisfy condition iii.The calculated imaginary parts of the dielectric functions of TiO 2-x N x indeed show a shift of the absorption edge to a lower energy by the N doping (Fig.2A)(18).Dominant transitions at the absorption edge have been identified withToyota Central R&D Laboratories,Nagakute,Aichi 480-1192,Japan.*To whom correspondence should be addressed.E-mail:rasahi@mosk.tytlabs.co.jpR E S E A R C H A R T I C L E S SCIENCE VOL

dem-onstrated tunable colorings in modified perov-skite oxinitrides,which suggested a similar band-gap control by N,although they did notaddress the detailed electronic states in these pigments (20).Photocatalysts for the present purpose,however,require more elaborate controls for doping besides the optical absorption;i.e.,conditions ii and iii.To this end,we have made a theoretical comparison among three systems:substitutional N doping,interstitial N doping,and both types of doping in the anatase TiO 2.In optimizing the positions of N in the eight TiO 2units per cell,we ob-served molecularly bonding states—NO and N 2—for the last two cases;the obtained bond lengths of N–O and N–N were 1.20and 1.16Å,respectively,which are compared with those of the NO molecule (1.15Å)and the N 2molecule (1.10Å).Such molecularly existing dopants give rise to the bonding states below the O 2p valence bands and antibonding states deep in the band gap (Fig.1B,N i and N i ϩs ).However,these states are well screened and hardly interact with the band states of TiO 2,and thus are unlikely to be effective for photocatalysis because of con-dition iii.The importance of substitutional site N doping is emphasized in the experi-mental results discussed below.We prepared TiO 2-x N x films by sputtering the TiO 2target in an N 2(40%)/Ar gas mixture.After being annealed at 550°C in N 2gas for 4hours,the films were crystalline,with features assignable to a mixed structure of the anatase and rutile crystalline phases,as determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD).The TiO 2-x N x films were yellowish and transparent.TiO 2films were prepared in a similar fashion by sputtering the TiO 2target in an O 2(20%)/Ar gas mixture and subsequently annealing it at 550°C in O 2gas for 4hours.XRD showed that the homo-geneous anatase crystalline phase was formed.Optical absorption spectra (Fig.2B)show that the TiO 2-x N x films noticeably absorb the light at less than 500nm,whereas the TiO 2films do not,which is in good agreement with the theo-retical results.Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring decomposition rates of methylene blue as a function of the cutoff wavelength of the optical high-path filters under fluorescent light (Fig.3A).Substantial photocatalyticac-Fig.1.(A )Total DOSs of doped TiO 2and (B )the projected DOSs into the doped anion

interstitial site (N i -doped)and that at both substitutional and interstitial sites (N i ϩs -doped)are also shown.The energy is measured from the top of the valence bands of TiO 2,and the DOSs for doped TiO 2are shifted so that the peaks of the O 2s states (at the farthest site from the dopant)are aligned with each other.Arb.unit,arbitraryunits.Fig.2.Optical proper-ties of TiO 2-x N x (thick

spectra (21,22).Both TiO 2-x N x and TiO 2films reveal similar activity under UV light [represented by the results un-der black light (BL)illumination].We also evaluated the photodecomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde of TiO 2-x N x powder samples that were prepared by treating anatase TiO 2powder (ST01,Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha,Osaka,Japan)in the NH 3(67%)/Ar atmosphere at 600°C for 3hours.The Brunaer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of the TiO 2-x N x and TiO 2powders were measured as 67and 270m 2/g,respectively.Figure 3B shows CO 2concentra-tions,evolved as a result of the photodecompo-sition of acetaldehyde,as a function of irradia-tion time.The photocatalytic activity of the TiO 2-x N x sample is superior to that of the TiO 2sample in the visible range of irradiation,whereas both samples yield similar UV activity.We used the photodegradation process of acet-aldehyde proposed in (23)to estimate quantum yields for the CO 2evolution,based on the number of incident photons being 0.42%(TiO 2-x N x )and 0.14%(TiO 2)at 436nm,and 3.0%(TiO 2-x N x )and 2.6%(TiO 2)at 351nm.Our final evaluation of the photocatalytic activity was to measure contact angles of water on the sample films under interior lighting.The so-called photoinduced hydrophilic surface is known as an important application of TiO 2(24,25).In this experiment,we used the TiO 2-x N x and TiO 2films,on which SiO 2with a nominal thickness of 5nm was deposited to hold ad-sorbed water (25).The results show an excel-lent hydrophilic surface of the SiO 2/TiO 2-x N x film,which maintained a contact angle of 6°even after 30days,in contrast to the SiO 2/TiO 2film,whose contact angle constantly increased with time (Fig.3C).As with usual TiO 2spec-imens,our TiO 2-x N x samples resisted the attack of acid and alkaline solvents such as H 2SO 4,HCl,H 2O 2,and NaOH at the ambient temper-ature,and their photocatalytic performance wasstable during successive use under 100-W mer-cury lamp irradiation for more than 3months.To investigate N states in TiO 2-x N x ,we measured N 1s core levels with x-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS).Three peak structures at the binding energies of 402,400,and 396eV were observed for the TiO 2-x N x films (Fig.4A).We observed similar XPS spectra for the TiO 2-x N x powder samples.The TiO 2films also included a small amount of N;however,the peak at 396eV was not observed.Saha et al .(26)investigated the N 1s XPS spectra during the oxidation process of TiN and assigned the peaks as atomic -N (396eV)and molecularly chemisorbed ␥-N 2(400and 402eV).To elucidate relations to photocatalytic activity systematically,we prepared TiO 2-x N x samples by annealing the TiO 2powder in the NH 3(67%)/Ar atmo-sphere at 550°to 600°C.The powder samples were used here,because the reaction temper-ature and the N concentration in the samples can be easily controlled by changing temper-ature and time of the NH 3treatment rather than by changing the sputtering conditions.Figure 4B shows the decomposition rates of methylene blue under visible light (Ͼ400nm)as a function of the ratio of the decom-posed area in the XPS peak at 396eV to the total area of N 1s .Each powder sample includ-ed the total N concentration of about 1atomic %.An increase of photocatalytic activity with an increase of the component of N with the XPS peak at 396eV is clearly observed.The decrease in photocatalytic activity observed in the powder sample (e)may be attributed to a change in the crystal structure of the sample caused by the high doping of N in the crystal,although we did not find a noticeable change in XRD.An optimum concentration of N with the XPS peak at 396eV,which may depend on the preparation process,was found at ϳ0.25atomic %(read from Fig.4B and the total concentra-tions of N in the samples)or TiO 1.9925N 0.0075.All these results,combined with the theoretical analyses described before (along with Fig.1),consistently show that the active sites of N for photocatalysis under visible light are the substi-tutional ones that can be identified with the atomic -N states peaking at 396eV in the XPS spectra.The active wavelength of TiO 2-x N x ,of less than 500nm,promises a wide range of applications,as it covers the main peak of the solar irradiation energy beyond Earth’s atmo-sphere (around 460nm)and an excellent light source peaking at 390to 420nm,provided by recently developed light-emitting indium gal-lium nitride diodes (27).References and Notes1.A.Fujishima,K.Honda,Nature

2关键词:原位红外;光催化;纳米管;二氧化钛;乙醇;气相1.引言近年来, VOC s的污染治理问题已成为人们研究的热点问题。
当前有多种VOC s 污染的治理方法,但由于技术和条件的限制,仍存在一些问题。
而以半导体氧化物作催化剂进行气相光催化降解反应,直接利用包括太阳光在内的各种途径的紫外光,在常温下使 VOC s最终氧化为 CO2和H2O 等无机小分子,从而有效消除其对环境的污染。
这是一种经济、有效、合理的 VOC s污染治理方法,因而研究光催化降解 VOC s具有很强的实际应用价值。
乙醇通常被认为是一种重要的溶剂,广泛应用于涂料、染料、药物、橡胶、洗涤剂以及食品和酿造等工业的生产中。
同时,乙醇也是一种相对简单的重要VOC污染物,其在工业区附近空气中的含量极高,故常被用作模型反应物来考察光催化氧化VOC s反应的机理性问题[1-3]。
从近年来的文献看,原位红外光谱技术在光催化氧化乙醇反应的研究中应用广泛,尤其是在原位条件下对催化剂表面吸附物种、反应中间活性物种以及催化剂表面结构的研究优势明显。
而利用原位红外光谱法开展纳米管TiO2光催化降解 VOC s的研究尚未见报道。

TAC光催化性能显著提升的机理在于其中的活性炭和微碳组分可高效传导光激发生成的光生电子,由此抑制光生载流子复合。

dioxide1.IntroductionHeterogeneous photocatalysis is a growing field of basic and applied research especially for the case of oxidation processes of organic pollutants carried out by using aqueous oxygenated suspensions of polycrystal-line semiconductors (Schiavello,1988;Pelizzetti and Serpone,1989;Ollis and Al-Ekabi,1993).In order to improve the performance of a photocatalytic process,two main routes have been tested.The first one consists in modifying the photocatalyst by doping it with sub-*Corresponding author.Fax:q 39-91-656-7280.E-mail address:palmisan@dicpm.unipa.it (L.Palmisano ).stances that (i )enhance the efficiency of the charge separation step or (ii )induce a shift of the absorption edge towards the visible region.The second route consists in modifying the reaction ambient by adding substances such as hydrogen peroxide (Augugliaro etal.,1990),ozone (Sanchez et al.,1998;Piera et al.,´2000),peroxydisulphate ions (Augugliaro et al.,1999b ),or Fenton reagents (Piera et al.,2000;Sanchez et al.,´1997)that eventually increase the overall oxidation rate.Acetonitrile is an extremely stable and toxic molecule.It is used as a solvent in photocatalytic oxidation reactions (Abdel Wahab and Gaber,1998;Somasundar-am and Srinivasan,1998;Fujiwara et al.,1999;O’Shea330V .Augugliaro et al./Advances in Environmental Research 8(2004)329–335Fig. 1.Scheme of the photoreacting system:(a )sampling valve;(b )thermocouple;(c )not-reacting tank;(d )pump;(PFP )plug flow photoreactor.et al.,1999)and it is often found in various civil and industrial wastewaters due to its use as eluent for HPLC analyses.The photo-oxidation of acetonitrile adsorbed on TiO ,both in liquid and in gas phase,by using O as 22oxidant,was recently investigated (Lichtin and Avudai-thai,1996).The production of cyanogen (CN )as 2intermediate species has been reported thus indicating the formation of CN radicals which can dimerize.•Moreover,it was demonstrated that acetonitrile is much more reactive in gas phase than in liquid phase.Aceton-itrile adsorption and photo-oxidation in gas phase has been also studied by means of infrared spectroscopy (Zhuang et al.,1999).The final oxidation products inthe presence of O were CO ,H O and CO (onto 2y2223surface ),but also isocyanate was found as a partially oxidised species.The presence of isocyanate and y or cyanate is a clear clue of the formation of free cyanide.Indeed,previous studies showed that the main oxidation products of free and complex cyanide were cyanate,nitrite,nitrate and carbonate species (Augugliaro et al.,1997,1999a,b ).In the present investigation the photo-catalytic oxidation of acetonitrile was carried out in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide irradiated by sunlight.The concentrations of substrate and not-pur-geable organic carbon (NPOC )were monitored.The influence of the substrate concentration and catalyst amount on the photoreaction rate was investigated.Moreover,the determination of organic and inorganic species,formed as intermediate products in the course of acetonitrile photo-oxidation,was also carried out.On the basis of the finding that sometimes the presence of strong oxidant species enhances the photo-oxidation rate of organic compounds (Augugliaro et al.,1990;Bianco Prevot et al.,2001),some photoreactivity tests were carried out by adding hydrogen peroxide or peroxydisulphate or hypochlorite ions to the reacting system.2.ExperimentalThe photoreactivity experiments were carried out by using not concentrating compound parabolic collectors(CPC ),installed at the ‘Plataforma Solar of Almerıa’´(PSA,Spain ).Two identical reacting systems were contemporarily used in order to perform photoreactivity runs at the same irradiation conditions and therefore to check the reproducibility of the results.The photoreactor configuration,reported in Fig.1,is a common one in heterogeneous photocatalysis field:a plug flow reactor in a total recycle loop with a not-reacting stirred tank whose function is that of providing aeration and samples for analyses.Each photoreactor consisted of three CPC modules in series (total irradiated surface:3.08m )2placed on fixed supports inclined 378(latitude of the PSA )with respect to the horizontal plane and facingSouth,in order to maximise the daily absorption of solar radiation.The collectors are not concentrating ones,i.e.the ratio between the surface where the solar radiation impinges and that of the reactor is approxi-mately equal to 1.1.The plug flow photoreactor (PFP )consisted of UV–transparent glass tubes (i.d.29.2mm ).All the tubes were connected in series and the aqueous suspension was continuously fed to the PFP from the not-reacting tank by means of a centrifugal pump.The suspension flow rate,maintained constant for all the runs,was 0.334dm s .The Reynolds number value was equal 3y 1to approximately 1.7=10indicating a turbulent regime 4of the flow inside the tubes.The total volume,V ,of t suspension charged in the whole system was 39dm ,3whereas the irradiated volume,V ,i.e.the volume of i suspension contained in the glass tubes,was 22dm .3The catalyst used for the photoreactivity experiments was polycrystalline TiO (P25,Degussa,approximately 280%anatase and 20%rutile,BET surface area approx-imately 50m g ).2y 1The catalyst amounts were in the 0.2–0.4g dm y 3range.The acetonitrile initial concentrations were in the 0.122–1.220mM range and the initial pH was adjusted to approximately 11with NaOH.The experimental runs were carried out by using the following procedure:firstly,the aqueous suspension containing the organic compound and the TiO powder was circulated in the 2reacting system by maintaining the collectors covered.After 30min of this operation the cover was removed and the reactivity run started.Samples of the suspension were withdrawn at the starting of irradiation and at fixed intervals of time.It must be reminded that the samples were withdrawn from the not-reacting tank so that they are representative of the conditions at the inlet331V .Augugliaro et al./Advances in Environmental Research 8(2004)329–335Fig.2.CH CN concentrations versus the cumulative photon energy for runs carried out at different initial CH CN concentrations.33In the inset the corresponding values of NPOC concentrations are reported.Catalyst amount 0.2g l ;initial pH 11.y 1of the PFP .Some runs were carried out by adding hydrogen peroxide or sodium peroxydisulphate or sodi-um hypochlorite to the reacting suspension.H O was 22added each hour in order to maintain its concentration in aqueous solution equal to the stoichiometric amount needed for the complete oxidation of the initial substrate(CH CN:H O molar ratio:1:8).The CH CN:S O 2y322328molar ratio was 1:8,corresponding to the S O stoi-2y28chiometric amount needed for obtaining the complete oxidation of initial content of carbon and nitrogen atoms.When S O was added,pH was monitored during the 2y28run and it was re-adjusted to approximately 11several times with NaOH.A few runs were carried out by adding ClO ions with a CH CN:ClO molar ratio y y 3equal to 1:8.The quantitative determination of CH CN was rou-3tinely performed by using a gas chromatograph (Hew-lett-Packard,GC 6890system )equipped with a 5%phenyl methyl siloxane 30m =320m m =0.25m m column (Hewlett-Packard HP-5)and a FID detector.Chromatographic grade Helium was used as carrier.The sample was placed in a vial and the compounds present in the vapour phase were extracted (extraction time,5min )by using a 75m m Carboxen-PDMS SPME (Solid Phase Micro Extraction )fiber assembly (Supel-co )with a fiber holder for manual sampling.Then the holder was placed in the split y splitless injector,main-tained at a temperature of 2508C for 2min before starting the analysis.The temperature of the oven was held at 408C for the first 3min,then it was increased up to 2508C at a rate of 608C min .y 1All the reagents were analytical grade (Fluka ).The quantitative determination of ionic species was carried out by using an ionic chromatograph system (Dionex DX 120)equipped with an Ion Pac AS144mm column (250mm long,Dionex ).Aqueous solutions ofNaHCO (1mM )and Na CO (3.5mM )were used as 323eluants at a flow rate of 1.67=10cm s .The y 23y 1samples were filtered before analyses by using Millipore MVLP filters,0.45m m.A 5050A Shimadzu total organic carbon analyser was used in order to determine the NPOC content of the samples.In order to compare experimental runs carried out on different days with different solar irradiances,the values of irradiance were monitored and recorded during the runs by using a sensor for global UV-light measurements (Eppley-TUVR )installed in the same position of the CPCs.3.Results and discussionPreliminary photoreactivity experiments were carried out with catalyst amount in the 0.2–0.4g dm range.y 3The results did not differ appreciably so that all the runs were performed by using a constant catalyst amount of 0.2g dm .In order to compare photoreactivity y 3results obtained under different conditions of irradiation,the values of acetonitrile concentration were reported vs.the cumulative photon energy,E ,incident on the reactor.This quantity is given by:tE sI (t )d t (1)|in which I (t )is the instantaneous photon flow w einstein s x and t the irradiation time.The values of y 1I (t )were calculated from the recorded values of irradi-ance,UVG (t ),by using the following relationship:I (t )s

2sions were transformed in w einstein s m x by using y 1y 2the Planck’s equation (E s hc y l ).By considering that the TiO (anatase )band gap energy corresponds to a 2wavelength of 387nm,the conversion factor from w W m x to w einstein s m x has the value of y 2y 1y 23.23=10.y 6It is worth noting that 6einstein correspond approx-imately to 5h of sunlight irradiation (10.00–15.30h ).Fig.2shows the substrate and NPOC (in the inset )concentration values (expressed as mmoles l of sub-y 1strate or organic carbon )respectively,measured at the inlet of the photoreactor,vs.the cumulative photon energy,E ,for selected experiments.The runs were carried out at different initial CH CN concentrations 3and an initial pH of 11.Degraded acetonitrile was oxidised to carbonate and nitrate and the main inorganic intermediate detected was cyanate,while only traces of cyanide and nitrite were found.The main organic intermediate detected was HCOO ,probably derived y from the presence of methanol (formed by oxidation of the methyl group of acetonitrile )which can be oxidised to methanol and then to methanoic acid that in alkaline medium is found as methanoate.Fig.3reports,for a typical run carried out with a catalyst amount of 0.2g l and an initial pH of 11,y 1the experimental values of acetonitrile,cyanate and nitrate concentrations versus E .In Fig.3the nitrogen balance is also reported.It can be observed that the nitrogen mass balance is quite well satisfied during the course of the run thus indicating that no significant formation of additional nitrogen-containing species occurred.Acetonitrile degradation was quite low,prob-ably due to the competition of OCN with acetonitrile y on the same active sites.Moreover,it is reported in the pertinent literature (Augugliaro et al.,1997,1999a,b )that OCN is slowly photo-oxidised.y Fig.4shows the results obtained in the presence of oxidant species such as hydrogen peroxide or peroxy-disulphate or hypochlorite;the results obtained without oxidant species are also reported.For the run carriedout in the presence of S O the pH value was main-2y28tained equal to 11during the course of the experiment.From the observation of this figure it can be noticedthat the reaction rate increases by adding S O ,where-2y28as the presence of H O does not affect the photoreac-22tivity and that of ClO decreases the activity.y Fig.5reports the reactivity data obtained:(i )in the presence of catalyst;(ii )with homogeneous solutioncontaining S O ;and (iii )in the presence of

2.50.49 4.77.3––––––1.24.86.74.88.315203.80.0––It may be observed that the homogeneous photode-gradation of acetonitrile with S O is comparable to 2y28the heterogeneous photocatalytic one.In the presenceof S O and catalyst the decrease of acetonitrile 2y28concentration seems due to the cumulative effects of the heterogeneous photo-oxidation reaction and the homogeneous photoreaction.A photocatalytic run was carried out with peroxydi-sulphate but without re-adjusting the pH to 11during the occurrence of the reaction.It was observed that the pH decreased to approximately 3,due to the reductionof S O to sulphuric acid,and the disappearance rates 2y28of CH CN and NPOC increased considerably.The 3positive effect of acidic pH on the acetonitrile degra-dation rate is difficult to clarify.A tentative explanation could be the formation and the release in the gas phase of HCN from CN at acidic pH before the oxidation y of CN to OCN .Then,the competition between y y OCN and acetonitrile on the same active sites would y be less important,while likely explanations for the improvement of NPOC disappearance rate could be the transformation of CN ,formed during the acetonitrile y photo-oxidation,in volatile hydrogen cyanide and y or the transformation of CNO produced by the cyanide y photocatalytic oxidation,in cyanic acid,HCNO,which in solution decomposes to form ammonia,carbon diox-ide and water (Cotton and Wilkinson,1972).After testing different kinetic models to the data of CH CN (ACN )and NPOC concentrations vs.E ,it was 3found that the first order kinetics,expressed by the following equations dC ACNys k C obs ,ACN ACNdE dC NPOC y s k C (3)obs ,NPOC NPOCdE best fitted the experimental data.The integration of Eq.(3)with the limiting conditions that at the start of the reaction (E s 0)acetonitrile and NPOC concentrations are equal to the initial ones (C s C ;C s ACN 0,ACN NPOC C )gives:0,NPOC y k E (obs,ACN )C s C e ACN 0,ACN y k E (obs,NPOC )C s C e (4)NPOC 0,NPOC By applying a least-square best fitting procedure to the experimental data,the values of k and obs,ACN k were determined for all the runs.The photo-obs,NPOC reacting system used in this work is a total recycling one composed by a PFP and a mixing tank.The reaction of substrate oxidation only occurs inside the irradiated PFP while the not-reacting tank determines that the substrate concentration at the PFP inlet is different from the outlet one.The system is not at steady state so that the inlet and outlet PFP concentrations are changing with irradiation time.The dynamics of this system have been deeply discussed (Wolfrum and Turchi,1992;Augugliaro et al.,1999b ).In order to obtain the true kinetic constants,the observed reactivity data of CH CN 3and NPOC concentrations must be normalised by mul-tiplying them by the ratio of the total volume to the irradiated volume,V y V .In the present case,being the t i kinetics of first order,the true kinetic constants are obtained from the observed ones by means of the following simple relationships:V V t t k 9s k k 9s k (5)obs ,ACN obs ,ACNobs ,NPOC obs ,NPOCV V iiThe calculated values of true kinetic constants,k 9,both for CH CN and NPOC degradation are reported in 3Table 1.For the photocatalytic runs carried out without the addition of oxidant compounds Table 1shows that the k 9values are independent of the initial concentra-obs,ACN tion of CH CN.Indeed by using the Langmuir–Hin-3shelwood model,the kinetic equation for a first order reaction occurring on the catalyst surface is:dC k K C ACN ACN ACN ACNys (6)dE 1q K C q K CACNACNii8i334V .Augugliaro et al./Advances in Environmental Research 8(2004)329–335in which k indicates the first order rate constant,K the equilibrium adsorption constant and C the concentration in the aqueous phase.The ‘ACN’and ‘i ’subscripts refer to CH CN and its intermediate degradation prod-3ucts,respectively.If the organic species are scarcely adsorbed on the catalytic surface,the K C and ACN ACN K C terms are negligible so that equations can be i i rewritten as:dC ACNys k K C (7)ACN ACN ACNdEBy comparing Eq.(7)with Eq.(3)(for ACN )it may be noted that the k K term corresponds to ACN ACN k .The addition of peroxydisulphate ion increases obs,ACN the values of the k and k but it does not obs,ACN obs,NPOC modify the independence of the kinetic constant of the substrate concentrations.In the contemporary presenceof catalyst and S O the value of k is quite 2y28obs,ACN similar to the sum of k values obtained by only obs,ACN heterogeneous photocatalysis and homogeneous photo-reaction.This feature suggests that these two processes are independent,parallel ways for acetonitrile degrada-tion.On the contrary the k value obtained withobs,NPOC catalyst and S O is greater than the sum of those 2y28obtained with photocatalysis and homogeneous photo-reaction.It may be therefore concluded that S O ions 2y28do not participate in the photocatalytic degradation of acetonitrile:however,they positively affect the degra-dation rate of the intermediate degradation products of acetonitrile.As far as the H O and ClO roles are concerned,y 22the data of Table 1indicate that hydrogen peroxide does not affect the photodegradation process while hypochlo-rite ion negatively affects the acetonitrile oxidation rate and in addition it seems to inhibit the NPOC degradation.4.ConclusionsThe photocatalytic oxidation of acetonitrile was car-ried out in the presence of polycrystalline TiO irradi-2ated by sunlight.The substrate and NPOC photo-oxidation rates follow first order kinetics with a low fractional sites coverage both for the substrate and its organic intermediates under the used experimental conditions.The presence of H O in the reacting medi-22um did not influence the acetonitrile photodegradation rate,while the addition of peroxydisulphate had a beneficial effect.The presence of ClO is detrimental y for both acetonitrile and NPOC photodegradation.Thefinal oxidation products were CO and NO ,while 2yy 33the main intermediate products were HCOO and y CNO .y AcknowledgmentsThe authors like to thank the
