PVA unveiled the actual role of starch in the Briggs-Rauscher reaction

The Briggs Rauscher reaction (BR reaction) is one of the famous oscillating reactions; the aqueous mixture of KIO3, H2SO4, H2O2, C3H4O4, MnSO4, and starch exhibit color change between yellow and blue-purple repeatedly. The blue-purple color formation is due to the iodine test reaction caused by inclusions of polyiodides such as I3- and I5- in the helical structure of starch. Therefore, starch has been regarded as only an indicator in the BR reaction. But our seniors have found that the oscillation did not last without starch. They hypothesized that starch’s linear helical framework is necessary to elongate the lifetime of the oscillating reaction. If this hypothesis is correct, similar BR-type oscillations must be observed when other polymers with helical structures are used instead of starch. We found the literature which reports that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) forms a helical structure and indicates the iodine test reaction. In our research, we studied the BR reactions using PVA, with different saponification degrees and viscosities. First, we studied the correlation between the structural features of PVA and the iodine color reaction by spectroscopic approach, exhibiting that PVA with low saponification form helical structures and show the iodine color reactions, which gives red color solutions. Second, we found that additions of the helical-structured PVA to the reaction solution instead of starch induces the BR-type oscillating reactions, while PVA without helical structure induces only a few numbers of oscillations. This is the world-first example of the oscillating reaction using PVA. The oscillation that lasted for 6 minutes with 23 oscillations was almost the same as that of the general BR reaction using starch. We concluded that the polymers with helical structures are intrinsic to elongate the lifetime of the BR reaction. Furthermore, we found that the addition of K3[Fe(CN)6], which has a high redox activity, in the reaction solution with PVA drastically elongated the lifetime (50 min) and increased the numbers of the oscillations (nearly 100 times). This result suggests that the oxidation-reduction reactions by the ferricyanide ion promotes the redox process of iodine and iodide ions.

Investigating the application of nanotechnology for detecting fishes hatching time

Introduction: Using advanced technologies such as nanotechnology in the food and fishery industry, as one of the most important industrial sectors of countries, has received too much attention. Traditionally, fishing and hunting have been considered important sources of supplying food. The subject and methodology: The study aims to investigate nanotechnology for detecting fish hatching time. This is a review article that collects the information from databases such as Sid, civilica, and Google Scholar. In the end, 22 papers were studied for extracting and collecting the required information from the abovementioned scientific database. Finding: After examining the food, drug, and agricultural-related papers published from 2009 to 2020, it was concluded that small Nano-sensors, controlling & monitoring systems made from nanotechnology can be installed on fishing nets, fishing rods, and other fishing equipment. These devices (Nano-sensors and controlling & monitoring systems) will help fishes so that they don’t get caught. In this way, as a fish gets close to the fishing equipment, it will receive sound, smell, or heat-based alarm. Therefore, the fish will stay away from the fishing equipment. The result: according to the finding of this study, it can be concluded that excessive fishing in the hatching time will be avoided by the application of nanotechnology in the fishing equipment. As a result, the following advantages will be secured: 1- There are lots of opportunists who misuse fish during the hatching time. With the application of nanotechnology, they will be stopped. 2- Opportunists are ambushing in different time points to misuse fish. Also, the guards might be ignorant. With the application of nanotechnology, guards are no longer required. 3- This plant is cost-effective too.

本研究將以BiOCl、BiOBr以及Pd/BiOCl的晶體製備二氧化碳還原之光觸媒,用以還原二氧化碳,期許能製造出具有經濟價值的還原產物,以緩解全球暖化並利用可再生能源。此外,我們藉由探討此類晶體在二氧化碳還原中的差異,比較加入不同鹵族元素及是否摻入鈀金屬對於光催化還原二氧化碳效率及產物的影響。 合成晶體後,我們透過X射線衍射儀(XRD)、掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)、能量散射X射線譜(EDX)進行晶體的鑑定,也確定Pd/BiOCl的晶體結構是以BiOCl為主體,且Pd鑲嵌在其表面。我們也以X光光電子能譜儀(XPS)了解晶體的鍵結型態及推測不同晶體表面的OVs相對含量,並以紫外光/可見光光譜儀(UV-vis)檢測樣品的能隙,推測其光催化性能。 我們發現摻入鈀的BiOCl晶體結構為分散的片狀結構,是三種晶體中唯一的奈米晶體,且能隙為三者中最小(2.46eV)、表面OVs含量也增加;表面附著的Pd奈米金屬顆粒更可以協助主催化劑的電子-電洞對維持分離狀態,促進其光催化效率。 最後我們將合成的BiOCl、BiOBr以及Pd/BiOCl晶體應用於光催化還原二氧化碳,並以氣相層析熱導偵測器(GC-TCD)及氣相層析質譜儀(GC-MS)檢測產物種類及產率,發現還原出的氣體產物有H2、CO、CH4。而總還原產物及含碳還原產物的產率皆以Pd/BiOCl為最高。

Laying waste to Energy problems

This research aims at exploiting civil and pre-treated industrial wastewaters that go into the purifier and those that come out of it after various treatments in order to build a galvanic cell with the goal of producing clean electric energy. Our background hypothesis is that it is possible to exploit the existing potential difference between these two types of water to generate electricity. In fact, the water sent for purification contains elements (carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, etc.) in a predominantly "reduced" state and its oxygen level is scarce. On the other hand, the water coming out of the process contains the same elements in a mostly "oxidized" state and it is rich in oxygen. Those chemical discrepancies should get the job done. In order to simulate the two types of water, two different solutions were prepared. The first one is highly concentrated with pollutants and gaseous nitrogen is insufflated in it to reproduce its anoxic environment. The second one’s pollution level is based on the Italian legislative limits of chemical contaminants for superficial waters (Legislative Decree 152/2006) and the semi-cell is insufflated with gaseous oxygen.

現代各國重視環保,醇類燃料電池因此崛起,而其中最為安全的乙醇燃料電池使用之Pt金屬觸媒容易受中間產物毒化降低穩定性,因此Pt與其他金屬形成合金觸媒之相關課題具極高的研究價值。 本研究主要針對鉑錫合金觸媒的結構進行探討,選用內核—外殼型奈米鉑錫合金粒子與無特定結構結合(Random-Alloy)之鉑錫合金進行比較,經由電化學圖表分析後,得到油相法合成內核—外殼型鉑錫金屬觸媒的標準流程。經過乙醇氧化反應的循環伏安法及其他分析測量方法比較後,發現本研究製成之內核—外殼鉑錫金屬觸媒,可以有效使乙醇在較低電位開始反應、提升乙醇氧化之反應活性及維持較長時間的穩定度,可應用於乙醇燃料電池之陽極。
