To meet the demands of protein phosphorylation study, immobilized zirconium ion affinity chromatography (Zr(4+)-IMAC) monolith was prepared by combining UV-initiated polymerization of monolithic support and subsequent photografting in both capillary columns and microchannels. Hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-co-ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA)) monolithic support was prepared u...

We report a novel method for simultaneous determination of cyromazine and melamine based on a molecularly imprinted monolith on-line coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The imprinted monolith was prepared by in situ polymerization using 2,4-diamino-6-undecyl-1,3,5-triazine (DAUTA) as a mimic template. Due to the better solubility of DAUTA in chloroform, hydrogen bonds we...

14 15 The catalytic activity and durability of 2 wt. % Pd/Al2O3 in powder and washcoated on cordierite 16 monoliths were examined for the liquid phase hydrodechlorination (LPHDC) of polychlorinated 17 dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs). NaOH was employed as a 18 neutralizing agent, and 2-propanol was used as a hydrogen donor and a solvent. Fresh and spent 19 powder and mo...

Highly productive: Grafted monolith silica skeleton microreactors process bulky molecules more efficiently than a batch mode reactor. This efficiency is due to a higher contact area, shorter diffusion path, and lower inhibition by products in the thin monolith skeleton. These materials provide a new approach in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of fine chemicals.

A facile organic-silica hybrid monolith was prepared by a thiol-ene click reaction of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane methacryl substituted (POSS-MA) with 1,4-bis(mercaptoacetoxy) butane (BMAB) using toluene and dodecanol as a porogenic system. The effects of the ratio of POSS-MA-BMAB and porogenic solvents and click reaction temperature on the morphology, permeability and column performan...

In this paper, we reported a new simple and effective method, osmotic membrane-assisted self-assembly, for fabricating massive interconnected macroporous silica monolith as catalyst supports. Using the method, we can prepare massive interconnected macroporous silica monolith with homogeneous structures beyond millimeter scale one time. Typically, silica/polystyrene and polystyrene/poly 4-vinyl ...

To date, the number of published reports on the large-volume preparation of polymer-based monolithic chromatography adsorbents is still lacking and is of great importance. Many critical factors need to be considered when manufacturing a large-volume polymer-based monolith for chromatographic applications. Structural integrity, validity, and repeatability are thought to be the key factors determ...

Acoustic wave propagation and attenuation in catalytic converters are investigated in the present study. The relationships for wave propagation in a catalytic monolith are derived first and then coupled to the wave propagation in tapered ducts which are commonly placed at either end of the monolith. Analytical and finite element approaches are used to solve the resulting coupled system of equat...

Solution for the complete removal of carbon monoxide from the exhaust gases still poses a challenge to the researchers and this problem is still under development. Modeling for reduction of carbon monoxide is carried out using heterogeneous reaction using low cost non-noble metal based catalysts for the purpose of controlling emissions released to the atmosphere. A simple one-dimensional model ...
