Flame emission studies of several metal chlorides with vapor-phase sampling

A method is described for the production of spectra of aluminum chloride, iron(III) chloride, silicon tetrachloride and titanium tetrachloride vapors by flame emission spectrometry. The aluminum and iron(III) chloride vapors were prepared by heating solid samples in reaction flasks; silicon and titanium tetrachlorides have sufficient vapor pressures at ambient temperatures to produce vapor-phase samples. Techniques have been developed to introduce the sample into the flame as a vapor, and to accommodate a large concentration of sample while requiring minimum preparation. Spectra were obtained individually and as a mixture over 240–600 nm. The analytical wavelength was chosen for each element, and 10-s integrations were made by utilizing a microcomputer to slew rapidly to the line of interest, hold for 10 s on the emission line, move off wavelength, hold for a 10-s background measurement and slew rapidly to the next line of interest. The microcomputer was also used to digitize and display the number of photons counted.

Determination of iron and titanium in kaolins by the method of non-dispersive X-ray fluorescence

The possibility of application of the radioactive source excited X-ray fluorescence analysis for titanium and iron determination in kaolins to the routine test of the refinement process has been studied. The iron content can be determined with a simple counting system using a single-channel pulse height analyser, argon filled proportional counter and¹⁰⁹Cd source of 3 mCi for the excitation of K Fe rays. The samples were analysed both as pellets and powders. The iron content ranged from 0.2–2.5% and titanium from 0.1–0.64%. For simultaneous determination of titanium and iron a Si(Li) spectrometer has been used. The²³⁸Pu source has been used for K Fe and K Ti excitation. It is the most convenient source for simultaneous determination of titanium and iron.⁵⁵Fe is the most efficient source for the determination of titanium alone. The best values of precision and determination limit have been achieved for iron with²³⁸Pu and for titanium with⁵⁵Fe.

Neutron moderation effects in phc contaiminated soil samples

Prompt gamma ray analysis of soil samples contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons(PHC) like benzene was carried out using 14 MeV neutron beams. Intensities of silicon, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen gamma rays were measured for soil samples containing 2.20–10.4 wt% benzene. With increasing benzene concentration, the intensity of the C gamma rays increased while those of Si, H, and O gamma rays decreased. The reduction in Si, H, and O gamma ray intensities may be due to increasing neutron moderation effect in benzene-contaminated soil samples. The experimental intensities of gamma rays are in good agreement with the calculated intensities.The neutron moderation effects in benzene contaminated soil samples are about 26% weaker than those reported for soil samples containing moisture. From the slopes of silicon gamma ray intensity as a function of benzene concentration as well as moisture concentration, a simple scheme has been suggested to correct for the loss in carbon counts caused by neutron moderation from PHC and moisture in the soil samples.

钛硅分子筛TS-1的合成、表征及催化性能

钛硅分子筛TS-1自Taramasso等［1］首次报道合成以来,由于其优异的选择氧化催化 性能及其催化的反应具有对环境污染轻,反应条件温和等优点而备受关注. 钛硅分子筛的制 备及应用研究是分子筛催化领域中的热点之一. 在经典的合成体系中,四丙基氢氧化铵(TPAO H)常被用作模板剂［2］,这是钛硅分子筛价格较为昂贵的主要原因之一. 国内外学者 都致力于廉价合成体系的开发,Müller等［3］报道了以四丙基溴化铵(TPABr)作模板 剂合成钛硅分子筛. 对于钛源和硅源,人们往往都采用水解趋势较为缓和的钛酯和硅酯,以达 到钛源和硅源的匹配;在合成过程中,要预先将钛酯加入到乙酰丙酮或异丙醇溶剂中进行稀释 ,并对胶液进行蒸醇处理［2,3］. 这使得钛硅分子筛的合成过程更加复杂,并提高了 其合成费用. 本文以钛酸四丁酯(TBOT)和四氯化钛混合原料作钛源,成功地合成出对丙烯环 氧化具有优异催化性能的钛硅分子筛TS-1,避免了上述的复杂步骤,并降低了钛硅分子筛的成本.

Photo-Induced Hydrophilicity of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Films Deposited on Stainless Steel via Sol-Gel Technique

The photo-induced hydrophilicity of TiO₂ films deposited on stainless steel substrates and silicon wafers using two different sol-gel routes has been investigated. The results indicate that crystalline titanium oxide films with excellent hydrophilic properties can be obtained on silicon wafer with both routes. XPS and XRD data reveal that films deposited on stainless steel exhibit crystallization features similar to those of films deposited on silicon wafers, and only differ by their oxidation degree owing to a TiO₂ reduction process associated to a diffusion of iron ions during deposition of the acidic sol and/or high temperature post-treatment. Consequently, hydrophilic properties of films deposited on stainless steel are inhibited. The deposition of a SiO_x barrier layer at the film/substrate interface allows preventing such a detrimental substrate influence. A low temperature deposition route of the TiO₂ film associated to the presence of a barrier layer yields best results in preventing iron contamination of the films.     

Activation catalytique des réactifs de grignard par des complexes du nickel en série organosiliciée : I. Réactions de substitution avec les réactifs de grignard non réducteurs

A new method of Si-C bond formation is described which involves coupling reactions between non-reducting Grignard reagents and Si-H bonds catalyzed by Ni^II complexes. The steric environment of the silicon atom has little effect on the reaction.Cobalt complexes are moderate catalysts, and those of iron, copper, zirconium and titanium are inactive.The reactions proceed with retention of configuration at the silicon atom. This use of Grignard reagents avoids the awkward preparations of unsaturated lithium or sodium analogues (allyl, crotyl, benzyl, vinyl).     

Alkaline treatment of iron-containing MFI zeolites. Influence on mesoporosity development and iron speciation

The effects of alkaline treatment on the mesoporosity development and iron speciation in Fe-MFI zeolites have been investigated. To this end, a variety of samples derived from different synthetic routes and having distinct Si/Al ratios and Fe content were treated in NaOH solutions and characterized by N2 adsorption, SEM, TEM, UV/vis spectroscopy, and EPR. The alkaline treatment induces a significant intracrystalline mesoporosity development by framework silicon extraction and promotes disintegration of oligomeric iron species. Iron in framework positions has shown to provoke mesopore formation, whereas nonframework iron species suppresses silicon leaching and lowers the extent of extra porosity.

Microchannel systems in titanium and silicon for structural and mechanical studies of aligned protein self-assemblies

We report a technique for the alignment of self-assembled protein systems, such as F-actin bundles and microtubules, in a surface-modified titanium or silicon microfluidic device. Assembling filamentous protein systems in a confined geometry produces highly aligned samples for structural and mechanical studies. Biomolecular self-assembly can be investigated in a controlled fashion under different molecular concentration gradients and conditions along a channel length. We have shown that surface-modified devices produced via a high aspect ratio etch process in titanium and silicon can be used to confine and control such macromolecular assemblies and present examples of F-actin bundles and microtubules in this system.

Influence of Synthesis Conditions on the Electrokinetic Characteristics of Titanium–Oxygen Nanostructures

Influence of synthesis conditions of titanium–oxygen nanostructures on their electrochemical behavior is studied. The nanostructures were prepared by molecular layer-by-layer deposition from the gaseous phase onto the substrates (silicon oxides titanium oxide, and silicon covered with oxide film). It is found that the deposition of a titanium–oxygen nanolayer onto the titanium oxide does not change the position of isoelectric point and the value of electrokinetic potential. Deposition of the titanium–oxygen nanostructure on the initial, as well as on the thermally and chemically modified silicon and silicon oxide substrates at various temperatures yields samples whose isoelectric points lie between the values for the substrate and deposited titanium oxide.     

Simultaneous direct determination of aluminum, calcium and iron in silicon carbide and silicon nitride powders by slurry-sampling graphite furnace AAS.

A fast and accurate analytical method was established for the simultaneous direct determination of aluminum, calcium and iron in silicon carbide and silicon nitride powders by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry using a slurry sampling technique and a Hitachi Model Z-9000 atomic absorption spectrometer. The slurry samples were prepared by the ultrasonication of silicon carbide or silicon nitride powders with 0.1 M nitric acid. Calibration curves were prepared by using a mixed standard solution containing aluminum, calcium, iron and 0.1 M nitric acid. The analytical results of the proposed method for aluminum, calcium and iron in silicon carbide and silicon nitride reference materials were in good agreement with the reference values. The detection limits for aluminum, calcium and iron were 0.6 microg/g, 0.15 microg/g and 2.5 microg/g, respectively, in solid samples, when 200 mg of powdered samples were suspended in 20 ml of 0.1 M nitric acid and a 10 microl portion of the slurry sample was then measured. The relative standard deviation of the determination of aluminum, calcium and iron was 5 - 33%.

The performance characteristics of new techniques are not inferior to those obtained at using classic analysis methods, but surpass them with respect to output.     

Analytical control of silica glass production. Voltammetric determination of titanium and iron in raw materials and silica glass samples

Adsorptive stripping voltammetric (AdSV) methods are presented for the determination of titanium and iron in quartz and silica glass samples obtained after pressure decomposition. Mandelic acid and catechol were used as complexing agents for titanium and iron, respectively. The method for titanium determination is based on the catalytic effect of chlorate ions. An insoluble residue remaining after decomposition of quartz and silica glass samples in HF+H2SO4 mixture was checked by energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. ET-AAS was applied as a reference method to AdSV measurements.
