ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 322:121162. [PMID: 36716950 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Inhibition of tailings oxidation could availably control the generation of acid mine wastewater from its source. Organosilanes serving as a high-efficiency inhibitor of the oxidation of pyrite, bring some problems including safety hazards caused by large amounts of organic solvents, difficult high-temperature curing, poor long-term properties, and so on. In our work, the PropS-SH/Ce (dbp)3 (PS/Ce (dbp)3) passivator with excellent passivation performance and self-healing properties was prepared by choosing 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (PropS-SH) and dibutyl phosphate (Ce (dbp)3) as the main passivating agent and the repair agent, respectively. We reduced the ratio of ethanol to water by adjusting the pH of the organosilane condensation and also achieved room-temperature curing by extending the curing time. Electrochemical and chemical leaching experiments results showed that the most appropriate addition of Ce (dbp)3 was 0.2 wt% for enhancing the passivation performance of the passivated coating. In a 6-month chemical leaching experiment, the PS/Ce (dbp)3-0.2 passivation coating cured at room temperature showed a better passivation effect and maintained 90.55% and 78.54% of total Fe and SO42- passivation efficiencies. The passivation and self-healing mechanisms were investigated by FT-IR, XPS, 29Si NMR, and other characterization methods, which were as follows: silane formed a cross-linked mesh structure by Si-O-Si bonding, in which Ce (dbp)3 was physically filled. And the Si-OH on the surface of the passivation film formed Fe-O-Si bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the pyrite, thus attaching to the surface of the pyrite and isolating the oxidation medium. When the passivation coating was locally damaged, the oxidation reaction caused a change in pH, which accelerated the dissolution of Ce (dbp)3 in the passivation layer. Ce3+ underwent a valence change and formed a CeO2 precipitate, while dbp- could form a complex with Fe2+ on the pyrite surface, both of which worked together to repair the broken passivation coating and prevent the oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Surface functionalization and bioreceptor immobilization are critical processes in developing a highly sensitive and selective biosensor. The silanization process with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on oxide surfaces is frequently used for surface functionalization because of beneficial characteristics such as its bifunctional nature and low cost. Optimizing the deposition process of the APTES layer to obtain a monolayer is crucial to having a stable surface and effectively immobilizing the bioreceptors, which leads to the improved repeatability and sensitivity of the biosensor. This review provides an overview of APTES deposition methods, categorized into the solution-phase and vapor-phase, and a comprehensive summary and guide for creating stable APTES monolayers on oxide surfaces for biosensing applications. A brief explanation of APTES is introduced, and the APTES deposition methods with their pre/post-treatments and characterization results are discussed. Lastly, APTES deposition methods on nanoparticles used for biosensors are briefly described.

Abstract
Optical trapping enables the real-time manipulation and observation of morphological evolution of individual particles during reaction chemistry. Here, optical trapping was used in combination with Raman spectroscopy to conduct airborne assembly and kinetic experiments. Micro-droplets of alkoxysilane were levitated in air prior to undergoing either acid- or base-catalyzed sol-gel reaction chemistry to form silica particles. The evolution of the reaction was monitored in real-time; Raman and Mie spectroscopies confirmed the in situ formation of silica particles from alkoxysilane droplets as the product of successive hydrolysis and condensation reactions, with faster reaction kinetics in acid catalysis. Hydrolysis and condensation were accompanied by a reduction in droplet volume and silica formation. Two airborne particles undergoing solidification could be assembled into unique 3D structures such as dumb-bell shapes by manipulating a controlled collision. Our results provide a pipeline combining spectroscopy with optical microscopy and nanoscale FIB-SEM imaging to enable chemical and structural insights, with the opportunity to apply this methodology to probe structure formation during reactive inkjet printing.

Abstract
Alkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes are primary materials in several industries, e.g. coating, anti-corrosion treatment, fabrication of stationary phase for chromatography, and coupling agents. The hydrolytic polycondensation reactions and final product can be controlled by adjusting the hydrolysis reaction, which was investigated under a variety of conditions, such as different alkoxysilanes, solvents, and catalysts by using gas chromatography. The hydrolysis rate of alkoxysilanes shows a dependence on the alkoxysilane structure (especially the organic attachments), solvent properties, and the catalyst dissociation constant and solubility. Some of the alkoxysilanes exhibit intramolecular catalysis. Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the enhancement of the hydrolysis reaction, as well as the dipole moment of the alkoxysilanes, especially in acetonitrile. There is a relationship between the experimentally calculated polarity by the Taft equation and the reactivity, but it shows different responses depending on the solvent. It was found that negative and positive charges are respectively accumulated in the transition state in alkaline and acidic media. The reaction mechanisms are somewhat different from those previously suggested. Finally, it was found that enthalpy-entropy compensation (EEC) effect and isokinetic relationships (IKR) are exhibited during the hydrolysis of CTES in different solvents and catalysts; therefore, the reaction has a linear free energy relationship (LFER).

Abstract
Scientists from various different fields use organo-trialkoxysilanes and tetraalkoxysilanes in a number of applications. The silica-based materials are sometimes synthesized without a good understanding of the underlying reaction kinetics. This literature review attempts to be a comprehensive and more technical article in which the kinetics of alkoxysilanes polymerization are discussed. The kinetics of polymerization are controlled by primary factors, such as catalysts, water/silane ratio, pH, and organo-functional groups, while secondary factors, such as temperature, solvent, ionic strength, leaving group, and silane concentration, also have an influence on the reaction rates. Experiments to find correlations between these factors and reaction rates are restricted to certain conditions and most of them disregard the properties of the solvent. In this review, polymerization kinetics are discussed in the first two sections, with the first section covering early stage reactions when the reaction medium is homogenous, and the second section covering when phase separation occurs and the reaction medium becomes heterogeneous. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and other techniques are discussed in the third section. The last section summarizes the study of reaction mechanisms by using ab initio and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods alone, and in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) or Monte Carlo (MC) methods.
