Inclusion Polymerization and Doping in Zeolite Channels. Polyaniline

Aniline has been polymerized in the three-dimensional channel system of zeolite Y. The monomer was diffused into zeolites with different levels of acidity from hexane solution. Subsequent admission of peroxydisulfate or iodate from aqueous solution yielded the intrazeolite polymers, as demonstrated by FT-IR, electronic absorption data and recovery of the included polymer. With S2O82-, the intrazeolite products are a function of the proton content of the zeolite. Polymer is only formed when a sufficient supply of protons is present in the zeolite host. When neutral iodate solution is used, no polymer is formed in NaY and acid zeolites, but at low pH aniline polymerizes in all zeolites. The open pore system of the zeolite host can be accessed by base such that the intrazeolite protonated polymer is transformed into the corresponding neutral polymer. The polymer chains encapsulated in zeolite hosts represent a new class of low- dimensional electronic materials

Human–Black Bear Conflicts: A Review of Common Management Practices

The objective of this monograph is to provide wildlife professionals, who respond to human–bear conflicts, with an appraisal of the most common techniques used for mitigating conflicts as well as the benefits and challenges of each technique in a single document. Most human–black bear conflict occurs when people make anthropogenic foods like garbage, dog food, domestic poultry, or fruit trees available to bears. Bears change their behavior to take advantage of these resources and may damage property or cause public safety concerns in the process. Managers and the public need to understand the available tools to stop human–bear conflict and reduce effects on bear populations.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi_monographs/1002/thumbnail.jp

Building zeolites from precrystallized units: nanoscale architecture

This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 15330 15353, which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201711422. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving.[EN] Since the early reports by Barrer in the 1940s on converting natural minerals into synthetic zeolites, the use of precrystallized zeolites as crucial inorganic directing agents to synthesize other crystalline zeolites with improved physicochemical properties has become a very important research field, allowing the design, particularly in recent years, of new industrial catalysts. This Review highlights how the presence of some crystalline fragments in the synthesis media, such as small secondary building units (SBUs) or layered substructures, not only favors the crystallization of other zeolites with similar SBUs or layers, but also permits control over important parameters affecting their catalytic activity (chemical composition, crystal size, or porosity, etc.). Recent advances in the preparation of 3D and 2D zeolites through seeding and zeolite-to-zeolite transformation processes will be discussed extensively in this Review, including their preparation in the presence or absence of organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). The aim is to introduce general guidelines for more efficient approaches for target zeolites.This work has been supported by the Spanish Government (MINECO through "Severo Ochoa" (SEV-2016-0683) and MAT2015-71261-R), by the European Union through ERC-AdG-2014-671093 (SynCatMatch), and by the Fundacion Ramon Areces (through the "Life and Materials Science" program).Li, C.; Moliner Marin, M.; Corma Canós, A.

Human development and climate affect hibernation in a large carnivore with implications for human–carnivore conflicts

1. Expanding human development and climate change are dramatically altering habitat conditions for wildlife. While the initial response of wildlife to changing environmental conditions is typically a shift in behavior, little is known about the effects of these stressors on hibernation behavior, an important life-history trait that can subsequently affect animal physiology, demography, interspecific interactions and human-wildlife interactions. Given future trajectories of land use and climate change, it is important that wildlife professionals understand how animals that hibernate are adapting to altered landscape conditions so that management activities can be appropriately tailored. 2. We investigated the influence of human development and weather on hibernation in black bears (Ursus americanus), a species of high management concern, whose behavior is strongly tied to natural food availability, anthropogenic foods around development and variation in annual weather conditions. Using GPS collar data from 131 den events of adult female bears (n = 51), we employed fine-scale, animal-specific habitat information to evaluate the relative and cumulative influence of natural food availability, anthropogenic food and weather on the start, duration and end of hibernation. 3. We found that weather and food availability (both natural and human) additively shaped black bear hibernation behavior. Of the habitat variables we examined, warmer temperatures were most strongly associated with denning chronology, reducing the duration of hibernation and expediting emergence in the spring. Bears appeared to respond to natural and anthropogenic foods similarly, as more natural foods, and greater use of human foods around development, both postponed hibernation in the fall and decreased its duration. 4. Synthesis and applications. Warmer temperatures and use of anthropogenic food subsides additively reduced black bear hibernation, suggesting that future changes in climate and land use may further alter bear behavior and increase the length of their active season. We speculate that longer active periods for bears will result in subsequent increases in human–bear conflicts and human-caused bear mortalities. These metrics are commonly used by wildlife agencies to index trends in bear populations, but have the potential to be misleading when bear behavior dynamically adapts to changing environmental conditions, and should be substituted with reliable demographic methods

Transfer of carbon dioxide within cultures of microalgae: plain bubbling versus hollow-fiber modules

In attempts to improve the metabolic efficiency in closed photosynthetic reactors, availability of light and CO2 are often considered as limiting factors, as they are difficult to control in a culture. The carbon source is usually provided via bubbling of CO2- enriched air into the culture medium; however, this procedure is not particularly effective in terms of mass transfer. Besides, it leads to considerable waste of that gas to the open atmosphere, which adds to operation costs. Increase in the interfacial area of contact available for gas exchange via use of membranes might be a useful alternative; microporous membranes, in hollow-fiber form, were tested accordingly. Two hollow-fiber modules, different in both hydrophilicity and outer surface area, were tested and duly compared, in terms of mass transfer, versus traditional plain bubbling. Overall volumetric coefficients (KLa) for CO2 transfer were 1.48 10-2 min-1 for the hydrophobic membrane, 1.33 10-2 min-1 for the hydrophilic membrane, and 7.0 10-3 min-1 for plain bubbling. A model microalga, viz. Nannochloropsis sp., was cultivated using the two aforementioned membrane systems and plain bubbling. The produced data showed slight (but hardly significant) increases in biomass productivity when the hollow-fiber devices were used. However, hollow-fiber modules allow recirculation of unused CO2, thus reducing feedstock costs. Furthermore, such indirect way of supplying CO2 offers the additional possibility for use of lower gas pressures, as no need to counterbalance hydrostatic heads exists

Highly Water-Stable Zirconium Metal-Organic Framework UiO-66 Membranes Supported on Alumina Hollow Fibers for Desalination

In this study, continuous zirconium(IV)-based metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) membranes were prepared. The pure-phase Zr-MOF (i.e., UiO-66) polycrystalline membranes were fabricated on alumina hollow fibers using an in situ solvothermal synthesis method. Single-gas permeation and ion rejection tests were carried out to confirm membrane integrity and functionality. The membrane exhibited excellent multivalent ion rejection (e.g., 86.3% for Ca2+, 98.0% for Mg2+, and 99.3% for Al3+) on the basis of size exclusion with moderate permeance (0.14 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and good permeability (0.28 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 μm). Benefiting from the exceptional chemical stability of the UiO-66 material, no degradation of membrane performance was observed for various tests up to 170 h toward a wide range of saline solutions. The high separation performance combined with its outstanding water stability suggests the developed UiO-66 membrane as a promising candidate for water desalination
