  • Patent number: 11420939
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing adrenochrome by catalytic oxidation using nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes. The method catalyzes dissolved oxygen in an aqueous solution by the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes to rapidly oxidize adrenaline, which is completely transformed into adrenochrome. It is a novel preparation process of adrenochrome, which is simple, and has mild reaction conditions, high product purity, an impurity content less than 10?8%, and low subsequent processing cost, thereby having a great application prospect. The nitrogen-doped carbon tubes after use can be regenerated and recovered, and its reutilization is still able to realize the complete transformation of adrenaline. The high utilization rate of catalytic material conforms to the concept of energy conservation, minimizing the costs.

  • Patent number: 10737952
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for initiating a graphene oxide (GO) through reduction by a reductant to controllably release organic compounds, comprising the following steps: (1) mixing GO and a buffer solution; (2) further mixing with a sewage containing organic contaminants; (3) conducting solid-liquid separation, mixing the solid phase and the pure, introducing and N2; (4) further adding the reductant; (5) conducting sequential batch kinetics experiment. The present invention utilizes the size effect and polarity control of GO to selectively adsorb aromatic organic contaminants in sewage and fully transfer the selectively adsorbed organic contaminants from a large amount of sewage to a small amount of pure water by initiating using the reductant, and no extraction of the organic phase is required, the time for purification is reduced, and the energy consumption for purification is also reduced.
