Using solid inorganic peroxides (including Li2O2, Na2O2, SrO2 and BaO2) as starting materials, three reaction paths for singlet oxygen (1O2) production were developed and studied. Their 1O2 emission spectra in the near- IR region and visible region from these reaction paths were simultaneously recorded by a near-IR sensitive Optical Multichannel Analyzer and a visible sensitive Optical Spectrum Analyzer, respectively. The comparison of their 1O2 emission spectra indicated that: (1) in term of the efficiency for 1O2 production, the gasliquid- solid reaction path (in which Cl2 or HCl and H2O reacted with the solid inorganic peroxides suspension in CCl4) was prior to the gas-solid reaction path (in which Cl2 or HCl reacted with the solid inorganic peroxides suspension in CCl4), but was inferior to the gas-liquid reaction path (in which Cl2 or HCl reacted with the solid inorganic peroxides solution in H2O or D2O); (2) the alkali metal peroxides (such as Li2O2 and Na2O2) was prior to the alkaline earth metal peroxides (such as SrO2 and BaO2) as the solid reactants, and Cl2 was favorable than HCl as the gas reactant in efficiency for 1O2 production in these reaction paths.

Co-cultured methanogen improved the metabolism in the hydrogenosome of anaerobic fungus as revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis

Li Yuqi,Sun Meizhou,Li Yuanfei,Cheng Yanfen,Zhu Weiyun 아세아·태평양축산학회 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.12

Objective: The purpose of this study was to reveal the metabolic shift in the fungus co-cultured with the methanogen (Methanobrevibacter thaueri). Methods: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to investigate the metabolites in anaerobic fungal (Pecoramyces sp. F1) cells and the supernatant. Results: A total of 104 and 102 metabolites were detected in the fungal cells and the supernatant, respectively. The partial least squares-discriminant analysis showed that the metabolite profiles in both the fungal cell and the supernatant were distinctly shifted when co-cultured with methanogen. Statistically, 16 and 30 metabolites were significantly (p<0.05) affected in the fungal cell and the supernatant, respectively by the co-cultured methanogen. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that co-culturing with methanogen reduced the production of lactate from pyruvate in the cytosol and increased metabolism in the hydrogenosomes of the anaerobic fungus. Citrate was accumulated in the cytosol of the fungus co-cultured with the methanogen. Conclusion: The co-culture of the anaerobic fungus and the methanogen is a good model for studying the microbial interaction between H2-producing and H2-utilizing microorganisms. However, metabolism in hydrogenosome needs to be further studied to gain better insight in the hydrogen transfer among microorganisms.

Simultaneous NO/SO2 removal by coconut shell char/CaO from calcium looping in a fluidized bed reactor

Boyu Li,Yingjie Li,Wan Zhang,Yuqi Qian,Zeyan Wang 한국화학공학회 2020 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.37 No.4

A simultaneous NOx/SO2 removal system using bio-char and CaO combined with calcium looping process for CO2 capture was proposed. The simultaneous NO/SO2 removal performance of coconut shell char/CaO experienced CO2 capture cycles was investigated in a fluidized bed reactor. The effects of reaction temperature, mass ratio of CaO to coconut shell coke, CaO particle size and number of CO2 capture cycles from calcium looping process were discussed. The NO removal efficiency of char is improved under the catalysis of CaO. The reaction temperature plays an important role in the simultaneous NO/SO2 removal. Coconut shell char/CaO achieve the highest NO and SO2 removal efficiencies at 825 oC, which are 98% and 100%, respectively. The mass ratio of CaO to coconut shell char of 60 : 100 is a good choice for the simultaneous NO/SO2 removal. Smaller CaO particle size contributes to higher NO and SO2 removal efficiencies of coconut shell char/CaO. The NO and SO2 removal efficiencies of coconut shell char and cycled CaO from calcium looping declined slightly with the number of CO2 capture cycles. In addition, the Ca-based materials balance in process of simultaneous NOx/SO2 removal combined with calcium looping is given. The novel simultaneous NO/SO2 removal method using bio-char and cycled CaO from calcium looping process appears promising.

Experimental Studies on Shear Behavior of Sand-Suction Caisson Wall Interface under Variable Normal Load and Penetration Rate

Yifan Li,Dayong Li,Yuqi Wu,Yukun Zhang 대한토목학회 2023 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.27 No.7

Shear characteristics of the interface between sand and the suction caisson wall play animportant role in determining the friction resistance along the suction caisson wall. In thisstudy, a variable normal load (VNL) reflecting the effects of the penetration depth andinstallation rate of a suction caisson is applied using the torsional interface shear apparatus toexamine the interface shear behavior. Results show that the interface friction coefficientdecreases with the increase of the normal stress and shearing rate until reaching a criticalvalue. When the friction coefficient reaches the critical value, the friction coefficient changeslittle with the increase of normal stress. The variation of the friction coefficient caused by theseepage flow and penetration rate should be considered for calculating the frictional forcealong the caisson wall. Given the same shearing rate, the normalized efficiency parameter ofthe interface under the VNL is higher than that obtained under the CNL. The suctioncalculated based on the test results of this study is in good agreement with that from the Tenbyproject, indicating that our findings are reliable and beneficial to analyze the installationprocess of the suction caisson.

Multifaceted Actions of Succinate as a Signaling Transmitter Vary with Its Cellular Locations

Yuqi Guo,조선욱,Deepak Saxena,Xin Li 대한내분비학회 2020 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.35 No.1

Since the identification of succinate’s receptor in 2004, studies supporting the involvement of succinate signaling through its receptor in various diseases have accumulated and most of these investigations have highlighted succinate’s pro-inflammatory role. Takenwith the fact that succinate is an intermediate metabolite in the center of mitochondrial activity, and considering its potential regulation of protein succinylation through succinyl-coenzyme A, a review on the overall multifaceted actions of succinate to discusswhether and how these actions relate to the cellular locations of succinate is much warranted. Mechanistically, it is important to consider the sources of succinate, which include somatic cellular released succinate and those produced by the microbiome, especiallythe gut microbiota, which is an equivalent, if not greater contributor of succinate levels in the body. Continue learning the criticalroles of succinate signaling, known and unknown, in many pathophysiological conditions is important. Furthermore, studies to delineate the regulation of succinate levels and to determine how succinate elicits various types of signaling in a temporal and spatialmanner are also required.

Determination of Maximum Penetration Depth of Suction Caissons in Sand

Wu Yuqi,LI Dayong,Zhang Yukun,Chen Fuquan 대한토목학회 2018 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.22 No.8

The suction caisson is a large top-closed cylindrical steel structure in diameter, short in length and much thinner in skirt wallthickness. The total resistance of the suction caisson during installation consists of the tip resistance and the skirt wall friction. However, since the thickness of the skirt wall is very small, the skirt wall friction may produce additional vertical stress and shearstress in soil at the skirt tip level, and this additional vertical stress and shear stress will contribute to the increase in the skirt tipresistance. At the same time, seepage induced by suction also causes the tip resistance to reduce significantly. A modified slip-linefield is proposed in this study estimating the tip resistance in terms of the slip-line theory. The expression obtaining the minimumsuction to install the suction caisson is also proposed in terms of the force equilibrium. In addition, the critical suction is determinedbased on the mechanism of sand piping. Thus, the maximum penetration depth of the suction caisson can be reached when the criticalsuction equals the minimum suction. Results from calculations of the minimum suction and the maximum penetration depth havebeen proved to be in a good agreement with the measured data.

Qi Li,Dongyun Han,Haiyan Qiao,Weiwei Shi,Yuqi Zhang,Zubin Cao 한국탄소학회 2023 Carbon Letters Vol.33 No.1

Coal tar pitch is a product with high carbon content and aromatic compounds. Modified coal tar pitch is a high quality raw material for the preparation of intermediate phase pitch, needle coke, carbon microspheres, et al. In this paper, modified coal tar pitch was used as raw material, nitrogen was used as protective gas, and thermal conversion was carried out at constant temperatures (370, 390, 410, 420 °C). Polarized light microscopy, SEM, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and XRD diffraction combined with split-peak fitting were used to characterize the microstructures of the thermal transformation products. The results showed that the Iar and CH3/ CH2 contents of the products increased with the gradual increase of the thermal conversion temperature, and the aromatic content increased. And the higher the temperature at the same heating rate, the more the ideal graphite microcrystal content, and the defective graphite microcrystals are converted into ideal graphite microcrystals during the thermal conversion process. When the reaction temperature exceeds 390 °C, the microstructure of the thermal transformation products is anisotropic spheres, and the small spheres fuse with each other and tend to be basin-like and mosaic structure as the temperature increases.
