Abstract:
The MnO2-mullite-cordierite composite particle (MnO2-MCP) was prepared and firstly was applied as catalyst with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as oxidant in heterogeneous Fenton-like system for methylene blue (MB) decolorization. The MnO2-MCP was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and BET analysis. The decolorization efficiencies of MB/MnO2-MCP, MB/NaClO, (MB after filtrating MnO2-MCP)/NaClO and MB/MnO2-MCP/NaClO were compared, which confirmed the interaction ability between MnO2-MCP and NaClO. After evaluating the role of adsorption of MB by MnO2-MCP, the catalytic oxidation effects of MnO2-MCP with NaClO on MB were exploited. The adsorption results showed that the new porous catalyst had certain adsorption capacity for MB and the adsorption fit best with Langmuir model. The central composite rotatable design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design catalytic oxidation experiments of MB/MnO2-MCP/NaClO system, with influencing factors of catalyst dose, NaClO concentration, pH and initial MB concentration. The optimum conditions were 5.97 mM of NaClO, 37.9 g/L of catalyst dose, 5.74 of pH value and 100.71 mg/L of initial MB concentration, which could ensure nearly 100% MB decolorization. The effect of radical scavengers elucidated that superoxide anion (O2-) was the main species to decolorize MB. Then the possible degradation mechanism and pathway of MB were proposed in this MnO2-MCP/NaClO system.

03:35Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
