Inorganic nanomaterials in the aquatic environment: behavior, toxicity, and interaction with environmental elements
2016
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present characteristics, toxicity and environmental behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) (silver, copper, gold, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxide) that most frequently occur in consumer products. In addition, NPs are addressed as the new aquatic environmental pollutant of the 21stcentury. NPs are adsorbed onto particles in the aquatic systems (clay minerals, fulvic and humic acids), or they can adsorb environmental pollutants (heavy metal ions, organic compounds). Nanosilver (nAg) is released from consumer products into the aquatic environment. It can threaten aquatic organisms with high toxicity. Interestingly, copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) demonstrate…
Effect of hydrogen on the ethylene polymerization process over Ziegler-Natta catalysts supported on MgCl2(THF)2. I. Studies of the chain-transfer rea…
2000
The effect of hydrogen on the molecular weight of polyethylene obtained over vanadium catalysts (based on VCl4 and VOCl3) supported on MgCl2(THF)2 was studied and the results were compared to those obtained for similar titanium catalysts. It was confirmed that the dependencies of the transfer reaction on the hydrogen concentration are a half-order in all investigated systems. However, the transition metal of the catalytic site affects the ratio of the transfer rate with hydrogen to the propagation rate (ktr,H/kp) and the results showed that hydrogen is a more effective agent of polyethylene molecular weight control in vanadium-based systems as compared to the titanium catalyst. © 2000 John …
Synthesis of branched polyethylenes by the tandem catalysis of silica-supported linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium catalysts and a homogeneous di…
2003
The synthesis of branched polyethylenes by ethylene polymerization with new tandem catalyst systems consisting of methylaluminoxane-preactivated linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium catalysts [Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NR)Cl2 (R = Me or tBu)] supported on pyridylethylsilane-modified silica (PySTiNMe and PySTiNtBu) and homogeneous dibromo nickel catalyst having a pyridyl-2,6-diisopropylphenylimine ligand (PyminNiBr2) in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane was investigated. Ethylene polymerization with only PyminNiBr2 yielded a mixture of 1- and 2-olefin oligomers with methyl branches [weight-average molecular weight (Mw) ∼ 460)] with a ratio of about 1:7. By the combination of this nickel …
Titanium (IV) chloride complexes with salen ligands supported on magnesium carrier: Synthesis and use in ethylene polymerization
2009
The magnesium support with the formula MgCl 2 (THF) 0.32 (Et 2 AlCl) 0.36 was used for immobilization of salen complexes of titanium [Ti(salen)Cl 2 , Ti(salen(O-Me) 2 )Cl 2 ]. The effects of the catalyst composition (i.e. type of titanium complex and type of activator), polymerization temperature, polymerization time, and the effect of comonomer (1-octene) on the activity of the obtained supported catalysts, on the polymer characteristics (molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, melting point), and on the polymer morphology were studied. The findings were compared to those obtained for corresponding unsupported systems. Catalysts immobilization results in considerable changes in ca…
Octave Spanning Supercontinuum in Titanium Dioxide Waveguides
2018
International audience; We report on the experimental generation of an octave-spanning supercontinuum in a 2.2 cm-long titanium dioxide optical waveguide with two zero dispersion wavelengths. The resulting on-chip supercontinuum reaches the visible wavelength range as well as the mid-infrared region by using a femtosecond fiber laser pump at 1.64 µm.
Synteza i charakterystyka kompleksów tytanu kowalencyjnie związanych z nośnikiem krzemionkowym oraz ich właściwości katalityczne w (ko)polimeryzacji …
2017
Zsyntezowano i scharakteryzowano dwa nowe ligandy wielodonorowe, amino-bis(fenolanowy) oraz fenoksyiminowy, kowalencyjnie związane z nośnikiem krzemionkowym, które następnie poddano reakcji z TiCl4. Zsyntezowane nośnikowe kompleksy tytanu, po uprzedniej ich aktywacji przy użyciu różnych związków glinoorganicznych oraz tetrakis(pentafluorofenylo)boranu tritylu, przetestowano w homopolimeryzacji etylenu i 1-oktenu, oraz w kopolimeryzacji tych olefin. Badane katalizatory wykazują niewielką aktywność w tych procesach, przy czym najaktywniejszy okazał się kompleks 1 zawierający ligand amino-bis(fenolanowy) aktywowany MAO. Kompleks ten polimeryzuje również 1-okten, dając produkt o zawartości pent…
Porównanie efektywności katalizatorów hybrydowych z matrycą mikro- i nanoanatazu w procesie fotodegradacji 4-nitrofenolu w wodzie
2016
Zanieczyszczenia wód gruntowych i powierzchniowych są powodowane w dużej mierze przez pochodne fenolu, w szczególności 4-nitrofenolu (4NF). Jedną z obiecujących metod oczyszczania ścieków jest fotokatalityczna mineralizacja zawartych w nich fenoli, z wykorzystaniem półprzewodników, np. ditlenku tytanu (TiO2). Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje anataz, który w zależności od rozmiaru ziaren dostępny jest jako produkt mikro- i nanokrystaliczny. Fotokatalizatory hybrydowe otrzymuje się m.in. poprzez impregnację anatazu ftalocyjaninami. Dzięki temu proces fotoutleniania związków aromatycznych może zachodzić z większą szybkością. Celem badań było porównanie efektywności katalizatorów hybrydowych z mat…
Alveolar ridge reconstruction with titanium meshes: A systematic review of the literature
2014
Alveolar bone regeneration by means of titanium meshes is a widespread procedure, however to date, only few relevant studies were reported in literature concerning this technique. Consequently, the aim of the present systematic review was to analyze the reliability of the titanium mesh as a barrier, in conjunction with horizontal and vertical ridge reconstruction for implant placement purposes. A total of 17 articles complying with the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed. Three outcome variables were defined: a) horizontal and vertical bone regeneration obtained, b) complication rate, defined as the percentage of membrane exposures and c) evaluation of implant survival, success a…
