| 1 | Preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: What can be done?显示文摘Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographypancreatitis(PEP) is the most common complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The incidence of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) pancreatitis varies substantially and is reported around 1%-10%, although there are some reports with an incidence of around 30%. Usually, PEP is a mild or moderate pancreatitis, but in some instances it can be severe and fatal. Generally, it is defined as the onset of new pancreatictype abdominal pain severe enough to require hospital admission or prolonged hospital stay with levels of serum amylase two to three times greater than normal, occurring 24 h after ERCP. Several methods have been adopted for preventing pancreatitis, such as pharmacological or endoscopic approaches. Regarding medical prevention, only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely diclofenac sodium and indomethacin, are recommended, but there are some other drugs which have some potential benefits in reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Endoscopic preventive measures include cannulation(wire guided) and pancreatic stenting, while the adoption of the early pre-cut technique is still arguable. This review will attempt to present and discuss different ways of preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. | Goran Hauser Marko Milosevic Davor Stimac Enver Zerem Predrag Jovanovi?

| 2 | Minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts显示文摘A pancreatic pseudocyst(PPC) is typically a complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis, trauma or pancreatic duct obstruction. The diagnosis of PPC can be made if an acute fluid collection persists for 4 to 6 wk and is enveloped by a distinct wall.Most PPCs regress spontaneously and require no treatment, whereas some may persist and progress until complications occur. The decision whether to treat a patient who has a PPC, as well as when and with what treatment modalities, is a difficult one. PPCs can be treated with a variety of methods: percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD), endoscopic transpapillary or transmural drainage, laparoscopic surgery, or open pseudocystoenterostomy. The recent trend in the management of symptomatic PPC has moved toward less invasive approaches such as endoscopic- and image-guided PCD. The endoscopic approach is suitable because most PPCs lie adjacent to the stomach. The major advantage of the endoscopic approach is that it creates a permanent pseudocysto-gastric track with no spillage of pancreatic enzymes. However, given the drainage problems, the monitoring, catheter manipulation and the analysis of cystic content are very difficult or impossible to perform endoscopically, unlike in the PCD approach. Several conditions must be met to achieve the complete obliteration of the cyst cavity.Pancreatic duct anatomy is an important factor in the prognosis of the treatment outcome, and the recovery of disrupted pancreatic ducts is the main prognostic factor for successful treatment of PPC, regardless of the treatment method used. In this article, we review and evaluate the minimally invasive approaches in the management of PPCs. | Enver Zerem Goran Hauser Svjetlana Loga-Zec Suad Kunosi Predrag Jovanovi Dino Crnki | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,22: | 18 |
| 3 | Hepatocellular carcinoma: From clinical practice to evidence-based treatment protocols显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the major malignant diseases in many healthcare systems. The growing number of new cases diagnosed each year is nearly equal to the number of deaths from this cancer. Worldwide, HCC is a leading cause of cancerrelated deaths, as it is the fifth most common cancer and the third most important cause of cancer related death in men. Among various risk factors the two are prevailing: viral hepatitis, namely chronic hepatitis C virus is a well-established risk factor contributing to the rising incidence of HCC. The epidemic of obesity and the metabolic syndrome, not only in the United States but also in Asia, tend to become the leading cause of the long-term rise in the HCC incidence. Today, the diagnosis of HCC is established within the national surveillance programs in developed countries while the diagnosis of symptomatic, advanced stage disease still remains the characteristic of underdeveloped countries. Although many different staging systems have been developed and evaluated the BarcelonaClinic Liver Cancer staging system has emerged as the most useful to guide HCC treatment. Treatment allocation should be decided by a multidisciplinary board involving hepatologists, pathologists, radiologists, liver surgeons and oncologists guided by personalized-based medicine. This approach is important not only to balance between different oncologic treatments strategies but also due to the complexity of the disease(chronic liver disease and the cancer) and due to the large number of potentially efficient therapies. Careful patient selection and a tailored treatment modality for every patient, either potentially curative(surgical treatment and tumor ablation) or palliative(transarterial therapy, radioembolization and medical treatment, i.e., sorafenib) is mandatory to achieve the best treatment outcome. | Danijel Galun Dragan Basaric Marinko Zuvela Predrag Bulajic Aleksandar Bogdanovic Nemanja Bidzic Miroslav Milicevic | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,20: | 13 |
| 4 | Clinical outcome in patients with hilar malignant strictures type Ⅱ Bismuth-Corlette treated by minimally invasive unilateral versus bilateral endoscopic biliary drainage显示文摘BACKGROUND:Stenting of malignant hilar strictures remains a standard endoscopic treatment in patients with unresectable tumors.The aim of this two-center prospective study was to compare unilateral versus bilateral drainage in hilar malignant stenosis Bismuth-Corlette type II.METHODS:During a 3-year period,a total of 49 patients with hilar tumors(Bismuth-Corlette type II) were referred for endoscopic treatment,following the criteria of unresectability.Ultrasound,computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) were previously performed in all patients in order to facilitate endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).The stricture was first passed by the hydrophilic guide-wire and then contrast medium was injected.Mechanical bile duct dilation was performed,followed by plastic stent placement only in the liver lobe which was previously opacified.The procedures were performed under conscious sedation.The patients were followed up for the next 12 months with a stent exchange every 3 months.Primary outcome was assessed by patient survival in the first 12 months after the procedure.RESULTS:All 49 patients were treated with ERCP while 39(79.59%) had successful stent placement.Among these,32 had hilar cholangiocarcinoma(82%) and 7(18%) had gallbladder cancer.Two groups of patients had Bismuth II strictures:A,21 patients(54%) with unilateral contrast injection and drainage,and B,18(46%) with bilateral contrast injection and drainage.A total of 57 plastic stents were used(10 Fr,89%;11.5 Fr,11%).Group B showed a lower bilirubin level 7 days after the procedure(P=0.008).Early complications were cholangitis(3 patients,2 in group A and 1 in group B) and acute pancreatitis(2 patients,1 each in A and B) with no statistical difference between the groups.Late complications were stent migration(5 patients,1 in A and 4 in B) and stent clogging(6 patients,2 in A and 4 in B) showing a significant difference between the groups(P<0.01).The first stent replacement after 3 months was successful in 87% of patients(four died due to disease progression and one due to cardiopulmonary insufficiency) showing no statistical difference between the groups.At 6 months follow-up,72% patients survived,with no statistical difference between the groups.A final follow-up(12 months) showed the survival rate of 18%(4 patients from group A and 3 from group B)(P>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:A minimally invasive approach,based on the criterion that every bile duct being opacified needs to be drained,is associated with a lower incidence of early complications.Considering that the clinical outcome measured by bilirubin level was lower in patients with bilateral drainage 7 days after the procedure,we assumed that drainage of 50% or more of the liver volume leads to sufficient drainage effectiveness. | Milutin Bulajic Nikola Panic Miodrag Radunovic Radisav Scepanovic Radoslav Perunovic Predrag Stevanovic Tatjana Ille Maurizio Zilli Mirko Bulajic | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,2: | 8 |
| 5 | Drain amylase value as an early predictor of pancreatic fistula after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy显示文摘AIM:To determine predictors of clinically relevant pancreatic fistulas(CRPF)by measuring drain fluid amylase(DFA)in the early postoperative period.METHODS:This prospective clinical study included382 patients with periampullary tumors that were surgically resected at our department between March 2005and October 2012.A cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (DP)was performed on all patients.Two closed suction drains were placed at the end of the surgery.The highest postoperative DFA value was recorded and analyzed during the first three postoperative days and on subsequent days if the drains were kept longer.Pancreatic fistula(PF)was classified according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula(ISGPF)criteria.Postoperative complications were defined according to the Dindo-Clavien classification.All data were statistically analyzed.The optimal thresholds of DFA levels on the first,second and third postoperative days were estimated by constructing receiver operating curves,generated by calculating the sensitivities and specificities of the DFA levels.The DFA level limits were used to differentiate between the group without PF and the groups with biochemical pancreatic fistula(BPF)and CRPF.RESULTS:Pylorus-preserving duodenopancreatectomy was performed on 289(75.6%)patients,while the remaining patients underwent a classic Whipple procedure(CW).The total incidence of PF was 37.7%(grade A22.8%,grade B 11.0%and grade C 3.9%).Soft pancreatic texture(SPT)was present in 58.3%of patients who developed PF.Mortality was 4.2%.The median DFA value on the first postoperative day(DFA1)in patients who developed PF was 4520 U/L(range 350-99000 U/L)for grade A fistula(BPF)with a SPT and a diameter of the main pancreatic duct(MPD)of≤3 mm.For grade B/C(CRPF),the median DFA1 value was 8501 U/L(range377-92060 U/L)with a SPT and MPD of≤3 mm.These values were significantly higher when compared to the patients who did not have PF(122;range 5-37875 U/L).The upper limit of DFA values for the first 3 postoperative days in the examined stages of PF were:DFA1 1200U/L for the BPF and CRPF;DFA3 350 U/L for BPF and DFA3 800 U/L for CRPF.The determined values were highly significant and demonstrated a reliable diagnostic test for both BPF and CRPF.CONCLUSION:DFA1≥1200 U/L is an important predictive factor for PF of any degree.The trend of DFA3(decrease of<50%)compared to DFA1 is a significant factor in the differentiation of CRPF from transient BPF. | Vladimir D Dugalic Djordje M Knezevic Vladan N Obradovic Miroslava G Gojnic-Dugalic Slavko V Matic Aleksandra R Pavlovic-Markovic Predrag D Dugalic Srbislav M Knezevic | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,26: | 7 |
| 6 | Esophagogastric anastomosis in rats: Improved healing by BPC 157 and L-arginine, aggravated by L-NAME显示文摘AIM To cure typically life-threatening esophagogastric anastomosis in rats, lacking anastomosis healing and sphincter function rescue, in particular. METHODS Because we assume esophagogastric fistulas represent a particular NO-system disability, we attempt to identify the benefits of anti-ulcer stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157, which was in trials for ulcerative colitis and currently for multiple sclerosis, in rats with esophagocutaneous fistulas. Previously, BPC 157 therapies have promoted the healing of intestinal anastomosis and fistulas, and esophagitis and gastric lesions, along with rescued sphincter function. Additionally, BPC 157 particularly interacts with the NOsystem. In the 4 d after esophagogastric anastomosis creation, rats received medication(/kg intraperitoneallyonce daily: BPC 157(10 μg, 10 ng), L-NAME(5 mg), or L-arginine(100 mg) alone and/or combined or BPC 157(10 μg, 10 ng) in drinking water). For rats underwent esophagogastric anastomosis, daily assessment included progressive stomach damage(sum of the longest diameters, mm), esophagitis(scored 0-5), weak anastomosis(m L H2 O before leak), low pressure in esophagus at anastomosis and in the pyloric sphincter(cm H2O), progressive weight loss(g) and mortality. Immediate effect assessed blood vessels disappearance(scored 0-5) at the stomach surface immediately after anastomosis creation. RESULTS BPC 157(all regimens) fully counteracted the perilous disease course from the very beginning(i.e., with the BPC 157 bath, blood vessels remained present at the gastric surface after anastomosis creation) and eliminated mortality. Additionally, BPC 157 treatment in combination with L-NAME nullified any effect of L-NAME that otherwise intensified the regular course. Consistently, with worsening(with L-NAME administration) and amelioration(with L-arginine), either L-arginine amelioration prevails(attenuated esophageal and gastric lesions) or they counteract each other(L-NAME + L-arginine); with the addition of BPC 157(L-NAME + L-arginine + BPC 157), there was a marked beneficial effect. BPC 157 treatment for esophagogastric anastomosis, along with NOS-blocker L-NAME and/or NOS substrate L-arginine, demonstrated an innate NO-system disability(as observed with L-arginine effectiveness). BPC 157 distinctively affected corresponding events: worsening(obtained with L-NAME administration that was counteracted); or amelioration(L-arginine + BPC 157-rats correspond to BPC 157-rats).CONCLUSION Innate NO-system disability for esophagogastric anastomoses, including L-NAME-worsening, suggests that these effects could be corrected by L-arginine and almost completely eliminated by BPC 157 therapy. | Zeljko Djakovic Ivka Djakovic Vedran Cesarec Goran Madzarac Tomislav Becejac Goran Zukanovic Domagoj Drmic Lovorka Batelja Anita Zenko Sever Danijela Kolenc Alen Pajtak Nikica Knez Mladen Japjec Kresimir Luetic Dinko Stancic-Rokotov Sven Seiwerth Predrag Sikiric | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,41: | 3 |
| 7 | Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 resolves suprahepatic occlusion of the inferior caval vein, Budd-Chiari syndrome model in ratsPentadecapeptide BPC 157 resolves suprahepatic occlusion of the inferior caval vein, Budd-Chiari syndrome model in rats显示文摘BACKGROUND Recently,as a possible therapy resolving solution,pentadecapeptide BPC 157 therapy,has been used in alleviating various vascular occlusion disturbances.BPC 157 was previously reviewed as novel mediator of Robert cytoprotection and endothelium protection in the stomach,and gut-brain axis,beneficial therapy in gastrointestinal tract,with particular reference to vascular recruitment,ulcerative colitis and tumor cachexia,and other tissues healing.Here we raised new hypothesis about BPC 157 therapy in the Budd-Chiari syndrome in rats,rapid bypassing of the suprahepatic inferior caval vein occlusion,and rats recovery with the active and effective pharmacotherapy treatment.AIM To investigate Budd-Chiari syndrome model(inferior caval vein suprahepatic occlusion)resolution,since BPC 157 resolves various rat vascular occlusion.METHODS We assessed the activated bypassing pathways between the inferior and superior caval veins and portocaval shunt,counteracted caval/portal hypertension,aortal hypotension,venous/arterial thrombosis,electrocardiogram disturbances,liver and gastrointestinal lesions(i.e.,stomach and duodenum hemorrhages,in particular,congestion).Rats with suprahepatic occlusion of the inferior vena cava by ligation were medicated at 1 min,15 min,24 h,or 48 h post-ligation.Medication consisted of 10μg/kg BPC 157,10 ng BPC 157 or 5 m L/kg saline,administered once as an abdominal bath or intragastric application.Gross and microscopic observations were made,in addition to assessments of electrical activity of the heart(electrocardiogram),portal and caval hypertension,aortal hypotension,thrombosis,hepatomegaly,splenomegaly and venography.Furthermore,levels of nitric oxide,malondialdehyde in the liver and serum enzymes were determined.RESULTS BPC 157 counteracted increased P wave amplitude,tachycardia and ST-elevation,i.e.,right heart failure from acute thrombotic coronary occlusion.The bypassing pathway of the inferior vena cava-azygos(hemiazygos)vein-superior vena cava and portocaval shunt occurred rapidly.Even with severe caval portal hypertension,BPC 157 antagonized portal and caval hypertension and aortal hypotension,and also reduced refractory ascites.Thrombosis of portal vein tributaries,inferior vena cava,and hepatic and coronary arteries was attenuated.In addition,there was reduced pathology of the lungs(severe capillary congestion)and liver(dilated central veins and terminal portal venules),decreased intestine hemorrhagic lesions(substantial capillary congestion,submucosal edema and architecture loss),and increased liver and spleen weight.During the period of ligation,nitric oxide-and malondialdehyde-levels in the liver remained within normal healthy values,and increases in serum enzymes were markedly reduced.CONCLUSION BPC 157 counteracts Budd Chiari syndrome in rats. | Slaven Gojkovic Ivan Krezic Borna Vrdoljak Dominik Malekinusic Ivan Barisic andreja Petrovic Katarina Horvat Pavlov Marijan Kolovrat Antonija Duzel Mario Knezevic Katarina Kasnik Kovac Domagoj Drmic Lovorka Batelja Vuletic Antonio Kokot Alenka Boban Blagaic Sven Seiwerth Predrag Sikiric | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2020,11,1: | 2 |
| 8 | Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in the treatment of colitis and ischemia and reperfusion in rats: New insights显示文摘AIM To provide new insights in treatment of colitis and ischemia and reperfusion in rats using stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157. METHODS Medication [BPC 157,L-NAME,L-arginine(alone/combined),saline] was bath at the blood deprived colon segment. During reperfusion,medication was BPC 157 or saline. We recorded(USB microscope camera) vessel presentation through next 15 min of ischemic colitis(ICrats) or reperfusion(removed ligations)(IC + RL-rats);oxidative stress as MDA(increased(IC-and IC + RLrats)) and NO levels(decreased(IC-rats);increased(IC + RL-rats)) in colon tissue. IC + OB-rats [IC-rats had additional colon obstruction(OB)] for 3 d(IC + OBrats),then received BPC 157 bath. RESULTS Commonly,in colon segment(25 mm,2 ligations on left colic artery and vein,3 arcade vessels within ligated segment),in IC-,IC + RL-,IC + OB-rats,BPC 157(10 μg/kg) bath(1 m L/rat) increased vessel presentation,inside/outside arcade interconnections quickly reappeared,mucosal folds were preserved and the pale areas were small and markedly reduced. BPC 157 counteracted worsening effects induced by L-NAME(5 mg) and L-arginine(100 mg). MDA-and NO-levels were normal in BPC 157 treated IC-rats and IC + RLrats. In addition,on day 10,BPC 157-treated IC + OBrats presented almost completely spared mucosa with very small pale areas and no gross mucosal defects;the treated colon segment was of normal diameter,and only small adhesions were present.CONCLUSION BPC 157 is a fundamental treatment that quickly restores blood supply to the ischemically injured area and rapidly activates collaterals. This effect involves the NO system. | Antonija Duzel Josipa Vlainic Marko Antunovic Dominik Malekinusic Borna Vrdoljak Mariam Samara Slaven Gojkovic Ivan Krezic Tinka Vidovic Zdenko Bilic Mario Knezevic Marko Sever Nermin Lojo Antonio Kokot Marijan Kolovrat Domagoj Drmic Jaksa Vukojevic Tamara Kralj Katarina Kasnik Marko Siroglavic Sven Seiwerth Predrag Sikiric | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,48: | 2 |
| 9 | Celecoxib-induced gastrointestinal, liver and brain lesions in rats, counteraction by BPC 157 or L-arginine, aggravation by L-NAME显示文摘AIM To counteract/reveal celecoxib-induced toxicity and NO system involvement. METHODS Celecoxib(1 g/kg b.w. ip) was combined with therapy with stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157(known to inhibit these lesions, 10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg, or 1 ng/kg ip) and L-arginine(100 mg/kg ip), as well as NOS blockade [N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME)](5 mg/kg ip) given alone and/or combined immediately after celecoxib. Gastrointestinal, liver, and brain lesions and liver enzyme serum values in rats were assessed at 24 h and 48 h thereafter. RESULTS This high-dose celecoxib administration, as a result of NO system dysfunction, led to gastric, liver, and brain lesions and increased liver enzyme serum values. The L-NAME-induced aggravation of the lesions was notable for gastric lesions, while in liver and brain lesions the beneficial effect of L-arginine was blunted. L-arginine counteracted gastric, liver and brain lesions. These findings support the NO system mechanism(s), both NO system agonization(L-arginine) and NO system antagonization(L-NAME), that on the whole are behind all of these COX phenomena. An even more complete antagonization was identified with BPC 157(at both 24 h and 48 h). A beneficial effect was evident on all the increasingly negative effects of celecoxib and L-NAME application and in all the BPC 157 groups(L-arginine + BPC 157; L-NAME + BPC 157; L-NAME + L-arginine + BPC 157). Thus, these findings demonstrated that BPC 157 may equally counteract both COX-2 inhibition(counteracting the noxious effects of celecoxib on all lesions) and additional NOS blockade(equally counteracting the noxious effects of celecoxib + L-NAME). CONCLUSION BPC 157 and L-arginine alleviate gastrointestinal, liver and brain lesions, redressing NSAIDs' post-surgery application and NO system involvement. | Domagoj Drmic Danijela Kolenc Spomenko Ilic Lara Bauk Marko Sever Anita Zenko Sever Kresimir Luetic Jelena Suran Sven Seiwerth Predrag Sikiric | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,29: | 2 |
| 10 | Human Respiration Rate Estimation Using Ultra-wideband Distributed Cognitive Radar System显示文摘It has been shown that remote monitoring of pulmonary activity can be achieved using ultra-wideband (UWB) systems,which shows promise in home healthcare, rescue, and security applications. In this paper, we first present a multi-ray propagation model for UWB signal, which is traveling through the human thorax and is reflected on the air/dry-skin/fat/muscle interfaces. A geometry-based statistical channel model is then developed for simulating the reception of UWB signals in the indoor propagation environment. This model enables replication of time-varying multipath profiles due to the displacement of a human chest. Subsequently,a UWB distributed cognitive radar system (UWB-DCRS) is developed for the robust detection of chest cavity motion and the accurate estimation of respiration rate. The analytical framework can serve as a basis in the planning and evaluation of future measurement programs. We also provide a case study on how the antenna beamwidth affects the estimation of respiration rate based on the proposed propagation models and system architecture. | Predrag Rapajic | 2008 | International Journal of Automation and computing2008,5,4: | 2 |
| 11 | Impact of weathering on slope stability in soft rock mass显示文摘Weathering of soft rocks is usually considered as an important factor in various fields such as geology,engineering geology,mineralogy,soil and rock mechanics,and geomorphology.The problem of stability over time should be considered for slopes excavated in soft rocks,in case they are not protected against weathering processes.In addition to disintegration of material on slope surface,the weathering also results in shear strength reduction in the interior of the slope.Principal processes in association with weathering are discussed with the examples of marl hosted on flysch formations near Split,Croatia. | Predrag Miscevi Goran Vlastelica | 2014 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2014,6,3: | 2 |

| 13 | Design and analysis of recurrent neural network models with non-linear activation functions for solving time-varying quadratic programming problems显示文摘A special recurrent neural network(RNN),that is the zeroing neural network(ZNN),is adopted to find solutions to time-varying quadratic programming(TVQP)problems with equality and inequality constraints.Howevet,there are some weaknesses in activation functions of traditional ZNN models,including convex restriction and redundant formulation.With the aid of different activation functions,modified ZNN models are obtained to overcome the drawbacks for solving TVQP problems.Theoretical and experimental research indicate that the proposed models are better and more effective at solving such TVQP problems. | Xiaoyan Zhang Liangming Chen Shuai Li Predrag Stanimirovic Jiliang Zhang Long Jin | 2021 | CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology2021,6,4: | 2 |
| 14 | 十五肽BPC157减弱慢性苯丙胺诱导的行为障碍(英文)显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of pentadecapeptide BPC 157 on chronic exposure to amphetamine in rats, particularly the changes commonly referred in chronic amphetamine studies as tolerance ( lesser grade of stereotyped behavior, without increased excitability) and reverse tolerance (ie, prominent stereotyped behavior and heightened startle response upon late amphetamine challenges). METHODS: After initial application (initial single dose-regimen), amphetamine (10 mg/kg, ip) was given once daily till d 5 ( continuous administration-regimen), and thereafter on d 8, 16, and 46 (intermittent administration regimen). For stereotyped behavior and heightened startle response the observation period was 120 min after amphetamine application, and each animal was observed for 10 s in 5 min intervals. Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (10 μg/kg or 10 ng/kg, ip) or saline (5.0 mL/kg, ip) were given only at the beginning of the experiment, simultaneously with the initial dose of amphetamine.

| 17 | AlFe层柱粘土催化剂催化甲苯在水中的降解(英文)显示文摘The catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of toluene on two bentonite-based AlFe-pillared clays (PILCs) with different iron contents was investigated. The PILCs were obtained using bentonite clay from Bogovina,Serbia. The change in chemical and phase composition and textural properties of the starting clay and synthesized catalysts was monitored using X-ray diffraction,inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry,UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry,and physisorption of nitrogen. The catalytic performance was examined using gas chromatography. The Na-exchange process lowered the (001) smectite basal plane spacing,but the clay retained its swelling properties,while the pillaring process increased it. The surface areas of both synthesized pillared clays increased to similar values although their Fe content was different. At 37 ℃,both catalysts show significant toluene degradation,with the one richer in Fe having higher efficiency. The leaching of the active cations during reaction was negligible,and the catalysts were stable. AlFe-pillared clay catalysts can be used in CWPO for the elimination of BTEX compounds from plant effluent streams. | Predrag BANKOVIC Aleksandra MILUTINOVIC-NIKOLIC Zorica MOJOVIC Aleksandra ROSIC ZeljkoUPIC Davor LONAREVIC Dusan JOVANOVIC | 2009 | 催化学报2009,30,1: | 1 |
