Ultrasonic-assisted condensation of chitosan with salicylaldehyde

In order to synthesize an improved adsorbent for heavy metal ions, we studied the condensation reaction of chitosan with salicylaldehyde in ethanol to form a Schiff base. The effect irradiating the reaction using an ultrasonic liquid processor was contrasted with conventional methods. The IR spectra of condensed chitosan prepared by the two methods showed that their molecular structures were identical. The reaction conditions, including solvents, ultrasonic power density and irradiation time, pH, and reactant ratio, were optimized by orthogonal design. A shorter reaction time and a higher product yield were obtained using ultrasonic-assisted synthesis compared with the traditional method. A condensation degree of 89.63% was achieved using the optimized conditions: i.e. ultrasonic irradiation at 180 W for 60 min; 95% ethanol as the solvent, pH 4.0, and salicylaldehyde:chitosan ratio of 6:1.     

鲨生理活性物质的研究现状

鲨种类很多 ,是我国海水经济鱼类之一。全世界鲨有３００多种 ,我国沿海海域鲨资源也很丰富 ,据统计有９０多种 ,主要分布在东海、南海 ,但一些名贵品种在黄海、渤海产量也相当可观［１］。美国生物学家经过数十年研究发现 ,鲨几乎不患癌症 ,由此推断鲨有天然免疫力。Ｌｕｅｒ将高剂量的强致癌剂黄曲霉素Ｂ１ 注射到鲨体内 ,也不能诱发鲨患癌症［３］。国外对于鲨活性成分的研究领域比较活跃 ,许多研究成果已经进入应用阶段 ,取得良好的效果。我国在鲨生理活性物质的研究方面也取得重大进展 ,从鲨软骨中提取并发现具有抗肿瘤活性成分 ,并进…     

外加电场超滤硫酸多糖的研究

以硫酸多糖为分离对象,通过对膜通量、截留率、膜通量衰减程度和膜的清洗恢复率等参数的测定,考察了外加直流电场作用下超滤膜的分离性能.结果表明,外加电场下膜通量和截留率都有所提高,而膜通量衰减程度分别由41.86%降低到19.51%,而膜通量的恢复率可达到91.57%.采用外加电场技术可较大地改善膜的抗污染能.
