Quantitative thermal analysis,II

Some problems on adjustment of the equipment and on data evaluation, in view of the equations derived earlier for the calculation of specific heat and heat of transformation are discussed. It is shown that quantitative determinations are possible also if the adjustment is non-ideal and that both air and an inert material, respectively, may be used as reference material.

Zusammenfassung Gewisse Probleme des Adjustierens der Ausrüstung und der Auswertung der Daten in Hinsicht auf die früher abgeleiteten Gleichungen zur Errechnung der spezifischen und Umwandlungswärmen wurden besprochen. Man bewies, daß quantitative Bestimmungen auch bei nichtidealem Adjustieren möglich sind bzw. daß Luft und Inertstoff gleichwie als Referenzstoffe dienen können.

Chiral recognition of enantiomeric peptides in water at 25° by calorimetry

The heats of dilution in water of binary and ternary solutions of the two enantiomeric forms ofN-acetylalanineamide have been measured at 25°. The excess enthalpies, expressed as virial expansion series, permit evaluation of the pairwise self and cross enthalpic coefficients. As for the chiral forms of some monosaccharides, the cross coefficient for the interaction between theD andL forms ofN-acetylalanineamide is slightly but significantly different from the corresponding self coefficient. A weak, water-mediated chiral recognition can be assumed to exist between pairs of amide molecules.

Zusammenfassung Die Verdünnungswärmen von binären und ternären wässrigen Lösungen der zwei enantiomeren Formen von N-Acetylalaninamid wurden bei 25 °C gemessen. Die in einer Virialexpansionsreihe entwickelten Überschußenthalpien ermöglichen die Berechnung der self und cross Enthalpiekoeffizientenpaare. Was die optisch aktiven Formen einiger Monosaccharide anbetrifft, so ist der cross Koeffizient für die Wechselwirkung zwischen der D- und L-Form von N-Acetylalaninamid etwas, aber signifikant verschieden von dem entsprechenden self Koeffizienten. Es kann angenommen werden, daß Paare von Amidmolekülen eine schwache, durch Wasser vermittelte Unterscheidungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der optischen Aktivität zeigen.

Production of submicron-sized multihollow polymer particles by alkali/cooling method

Submicron-sized styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer particles, which were produced by emulsion copolymerization, were changed to those having multihollow structure by treating stepwise the emulsion as follows. First alkali treatment was carried out at higher temperature than the glass transition temperature and subsequently the emulsion was cooled by keeping it at room temperature. This was named alkali/cooling method. The effects of methacrylic acid content, pH, time and temperature in the alkali treatment on the formation of multihollow structure were clarified.Part CLV of the series Studies on suspension and emulsion     

Plutonium in soils, bottom sediments and lichen near peaceful nuclear explosion sites in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

During the 1974–1987 period 12 paceful nuclear explosions were conducted in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). For the first time^239,240Pu and²³⁸Pu concentrations were determined in samples of soils, bottom sediments and lichen taken at the Craton-3 and Crystal nuclear explosion sites. At the Craton-3^239,240Pu concentrations in the range 6.2 mBq/g to 5.9 Bq/g samples of soil and^239,240Pu concentrations up to 7.4 Bq/g in samples of lichen were observed.^239,240Pu concentration measurements in bottom sediments of a stream washing out the banking around the borehole of Craton-3 show that plutonium migrates in the direction of the Markha river. At the Crystal site local plutonium concentrations up to 35 Bq/g in soil and 1.8 Bq/g in lichen were observed.     

Investigation of surface phenomena on solid catalysts by thermogravimetry

Thermogravimetry was applied to the investigation of the phenomena of adsorption, chemisorption, desorption and surface reactions on solid catalysts. The measurements were carried out with 13 NaX and NaY type zeolites and with silica gels treated with sodium hydroxide, in the presence of cumene and methanol. On the basis of the quantitative results it is possible to give an interpretation of surface phenomena and to establish the existence of various active centres on the surface of the catalysts.

Li/MgO catalysts, I. Effect of precursor salts on their structural and surface properties

Li/MgO solids have been prepared from MgO, by thermal decomposition of Mg₅(OH)₂(CO₃)₄·4H₂O or by precipitation from aqueous solutions of magnesium nitrate, and then impregnating the solid thus obtained with aqueous solutions of lithium carbonate or nitrate. Non-porous solids are obtained in all cases. Specific surface area development depends on the nature of the precursors, the MgOMg(OH)₂MgO process being topotactic.

Theoretical am1 studies of inclusion complexes of α- and β-cyclodextrins with methylated benzoic acids and phenol,and γ-cyclodextrin with buckminsterfullerene

Semiempirical AM1 calculations have been performed on the inclusion complexes of - and -cyclodextrin with benzoic acid and phenol and -cyclodextrin with methylated benzoic acids in the head first and tail first positions. The results show that -cyclodextrin complexes with phenol and benzoic acid guests in the head first position are more stable than in the tail first position, while -cyclodextrin complexes with the same guests prefer the tail first position. The preferred orientation for -cyclodextrin with methylated benzoic acids is determined by the position of the methyl substituent(s). In general, para-methyl benzoic acid derivatives prefer the tail first position. -cyclodextrin forms a slightly unstable 1:1 complex with C₆₀ (3.4 kcal/mol), but two -cyclodextrins provide enough stabilization by about 10 kcal/mol to cage-in the C₆₀.

Observation of109Ag NMR spectra of supported silver catalysts

The first observation of¹⁰⁹Ag NMR spectra from Ag metal particles dispersed on alumina and silica, in some cases at Ag contents as low as 0.1 wt.% is reported. The Knight shifts and relaxation times are found to be typical for Ag bulk metal. The distortions of the Ag metal crystal lattice were found to contribute to¹⁰⁹Ag NMR line width. The estimation of Ag crystal size at which the metal-to-nonmetal transformation takes place was made from studies of samples with different size distribution of supported Ag particles.

Quantum chemical study of the influence of the zeolite electrostatic field on the physical characteristics of ethylene

A modified CNDO/2 method whose Hamiltonian includes the terms describing the interaction of electrons with the electrostatic field of the zeolite crystal is employed for studying the influence of the faujasite electrostatic field on the physical characteristics of ethylene. It is shown that this field causes significant changes in the distribution of electron density in the ethylene molecule as a function of its orientation and localization in the large cavity of faujasites.

Kinetic analysis of consecutive reactions using TG and DSC techniques

A complex mechanism of thermal degradation processes was postulated for the reaction type , and a theoretical analysis of DTG and DSC curves was followed by corresponding mathematical simulation. In this scheme, compoundS represents a volatile product (e.g. gas and/or vapor), which is a necessary assumption in order to explain the differences in results which can arise after the kinetic analysis of DTG and DSC experimental data.Mathematical simulation was performed with different values of the Arrhenius parameter for both reaction rate constants (k ₁, andk ₂) in the range 83.1–291.0 kJ/mol for the activation energy and with corresponding values for the frequency factor (10⁵–10¹⁹ min^–1). The influence of endothermic heat effects (50–200 kJ/mol) in the reactionsAE andRS was also investigated. The calculated rates of mass and heat change (DTG and DSC), for different heating rates, showed that the maximum values of the two curves are reached at different temperatures. The non-uniformity of the DTG and DSC maxima depends on the difference between the values of the reaction rate constants and their temperature sensitivities (E ₁ andE ₂) and also on the heating rate.The theoretical analysis performed demonstrated the possibility of determining the reaction rate parameters (k ₁ andk ₂) in the case of consecutive first-order reactions, by using simultaneous TG and DSC analysis.The proposed theoretical analysis is supported by experimental DTG/DSC data concerning the pyrolysis of oil shale, which were interpreted in terms of consecutive reactions.

Zusammenfassung Unter Annahme eines komplexen Mechanismus für thermische Abbauprozesse wurde für den Reaktionstyp eine theoretische analyse von DTG- und DSC-Kurven, gefolgt von einer entsprechenden mathematischen Simulation durchgeführt. Hier stellt die VerbindungS ein flüchtiges Produkt dar (lias oder Dampf), was eine notwendige Bedingung zur Erklärung von unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen nach der kinetischen Analyse der experimentellen DTG- und DSC-Daten ist. Bei der mathematischen Simulation wurden unterschiedliche Arrheniusparameterwerte benutzt, für beide Reaktionsgeschwindigkeitskonstanten (k₁ und k₂) in einem Intervall von 83,1–291,0 kJ/mol für die Aktivierungsenergie sowie unter Anwendung entsprechender Frequenzfaktoren (10⁵–10¹⁹ min^–1). Für die ReaktionenA R undR S wurde auch der Einfluß von endothermen Wärmeeffekten (50–200 kJ/mol) untersucht. Die berechneten Geschwindigkeiten für die Veränderung von Masse und Wärme (DTG und DSC) bei verschiedenen Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten zeigen, daß beide Kurven ihr Maximum bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen erreichen. Die Ungleichmäßigkeit der DTG- und DSC-Maxima basiert auf den unterschiedlichen Werten der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeitskonstanten, deren Temperaturempfindlichkeit (E ₁ undE ₂ und hängt auch von der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit ab. Die durchgeführte theoretische Analyse zeigt, daß es mit Hilfe simultaner DTG- und DSC-Untersuchungen möglich ist, im Falle konsekutiver Reaktionen erster Ordnung die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeitsparameter (k ₁ undk ₂) zu bestimmen. Das vorgeschlagene theoretische Analysenverfahren wird am Beispiel der experimentellen DTG/DSC-Daten der Pyrolyse von Ölschiefer und Anwendung konsekutiver Reaktionen illustriert.

To the Theory of the Aggregation of Polydisperse Colloids

Particle aggregation in polydisperse colloids is studied theoretically. It is assumed that the aggregation follows phase transition scenario with the formation of dense uniform colloidal phases. Bidisperse model corresponding to the system of relatively large and small particles is considered. Van der Waals attraction between large particles and the action of relevant entropy forces due to the presence of depleted layers of small particles are taken into account. The diagrams of equilibrium phase transitions of gas–liquid and gas–solid types occurring in the ensemble of large particles are constructed. The influence of size and concentration of small particles on the pattern and structure of phase diagrams is studied. It is shown that an increase in the concentration of small particles leads, on the one hand, to a rise of phase transition temperature and, on the other hand, to an increase in the threshold concentration of large particles.     

Microcalorimetric investigation of the recrystallization behaviour of polycrystalline copper deformed at room-temperature

The recrystallization of 5 N copper samples which had been deformed at roomtemperature by torsion to an average shear of by rolling to 65% r.c.s. was investigated by means of a commercial heatflow calorimeter.During recrystallization, which was also studied by hardness tests and optical microscopy, a stored energy release of the order of 0.145 cal/g was observed. Some problems inherent in the use of microsamples are discussed. By kinetic analysis, based on variation of the linear heating rate, a value of 21.9 kcal mole^–1 was determined for the apparent activation energy of the recrystallization process in torsion samples.

Analytical Chemistry — today''s definition and interpretation

Conclusion Although this multidisciplinary branch of science is growing rapidly today, yet two main points remain unchanged. On the one hand, it is analytical in essence; on the other, the information which it aims to acquire is chemical in nature, i.e. within the domain of chemistry. Accordingly it seems pertinent to reserve the term Analytical Chemistry for it. Other terms like analytical physics and chemical characterization are one-sided, with the aim or essence missing. The same is true of analytics and analytical science. Moreover, they should, literally speaking, include analytic geometry, analytical mechanics and so on.
