Overview: The Potential of silanes for chromate replacement in metal finishing industries

Trialkoxysilanes (or silanes) have emerged as a very promising alternative for chromates in metal finishing industries. Compared to the conventional chromating processes, the major merits of silane-based surface treatments include: eco-compliance, easy-control processing, comparable corrosion protection of metals as well as paint adhesion to a variety of topcoats. In this overview paper, we report the recent status of silane studies including results of corrosion performance tests, the mechanism of corrosion protection of metals by silanes and the themal stabilities of silane films. We also address the new fields that we are beginning to explore such as nano-structured silane films, “self-healing” silane films, and “super-primers”.     

Potentiometric studies on the complexation equilibria between some trivalent lanthanide metal ions and biologically active 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HNATS)

Summary The chelation behaviour of some trivalent lanthanide and yttrium metal ion with biologically active 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HNATS) has been investigated by potentiomotric measurements at 20±0.5°C in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water medium at various ionic strengths of sodium perchlorate. The method of Bjerrum and Calvin, as modified by Irving and Rossotti has been used to find out the values of (average number of ligand bound per metal ion) andpL (free ligand exponent). The formation constants of metal chelates have been computed on a PC-XT computer, using a program patterned after that of Sullivan et al. to give _n values using weighted least squares method. TheS _min values (S _min =²) have been calculated. The order of formation constants of chelates was found to be: La³⁺3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+. The formation constants of the chelates formed have been correlated to size and ionization potentials of the metal ions.

Potentiometrische Untersuchungen der Komplexierungsgleichgewichte zwischen einigen trivalenten Metallionen und biologisch aktivem 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyd-thiosemicarbazon (HNATS)

Zusammenfassung Es wurde das Chelierungsverhalten einiger trivalenter Lanthanidenionen mit biologisch aktivem 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyd-thiosemicarbazon (HNATS) mittels potentiometrischer Messungen bei 20±0.5°C in 75% (v/v) Dioxan-Wasser bei verschiedener Ionenstärke an Natriumperchlorat untersucht. Die Methode nach Bjerrum und Calvin in der Modifikation nach Irving und Rossotti wurde zur Ermittlung der Werte (mittlere Anzahl an Liganden pro Metallion) undpL (Exponent an freiem Liganden) verwendet. Die Komplexbildungskonstanten wurden in Anlehnung an Sullivan et al. an einem PC-XT Computer errechnet. DieS _min-Werte (S _min=²) wurden ebenfalls bestimmt. Die Reihung der Chelatbildungskonstanten war: La³⁺3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+. Die Bildungskonstanten sind mit der Größe und dem Ionisierungspotential der Metallionen zu korrelieren.

     

Exact thermodynamic behavior of a generalized spin-isospin ising system on the Bethe lattice

We study a generalized Ising system consisting of a Bethe lattice on every site of which two spin-1/2 and two isospin-1/2 (or atomic species A) states can be realized, the spin-species interacting with appropriate nearest neighbor couplings. The system is equivalent to that of four states per site and we obtain its exact thermodynamic behavior. The case of a fixed concentration of species is the annealed or liquid magnetic binary alloy. The temperature dependence of the short-range-order (SRO) parameter of such systems is obtained as an application of the theory and discussed in connection with relevant material from the literature. When fixing both the concentration and the nearest neighbor spatial correlation of the species, we obtain Eggarter's formulas for the frozen-in species problem, which therefore are only approximately valid even on the Bethe lattice.

纳米二氧化钛粒子分散性能的研究

以四氯化钛为原料，采用溶胶-凝胶法技术合成路线，获得了平均粒径为63nm的二氧化钛粉末。采用分散技术，不仅可以改善粒子的分散性能，而且对粒子的生长也起到一定的抑制作用。研究表明：(1)采用SDS作为分散剂时，其极性基团和非极性基团分别与水和纳米TiO2粒子相结合，从而阻隔了TiO2粒子的团聚，起到分散作用。(2)以稀土元素La作为分散剂，其独特的轨道结构，不仅扩大了能量吸收的范围，更重要的是它与TiO2形成的络合物，使其成为相对独立的小团体，而它本身很小的固溶度使其难于形成合金化组元，结果被释放出来，从而形成更小的纳米TiO2粒子，起到分散纳米TiO2粒子的作用，并同时抑制纳米TiO2粒子的生长。

过渡金属钼钒砷杂多化合物的合成与TPR,TPD研究

Seven transition metal molybdovanadoarsenic heteropoly compounds have been synthesized and characterized using IR, UV, TG-DTA, pH potential titration techniques. The molecular formulae of these compounds are pro-posed to be H_xM_yAsMO₁₀V₂O₄₀·zH₂O(x=1～3, y=1,2, M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn).They are all keggin structure. Surface nature of these compounds have been investigated by temperature programmed desorption and temperature programmed reduction techniques. NH₃-TPD results show that in TPD profiles of the compounds there are two desorption peaks corresponding to weak acid sites of desorption, respectively. Desorbing activativon energy and preexponential factor of weak acid site of desorption for compounds have been calculated. H₂-TPR re-sults show that introducting transtion metal to molybdovanarsenic acid, the reduction peak temperatures of H₂-TPR shift regularly with increasing d electron numbers of transition metals. In addition, Zn and Cu heteropoly com-pounds have yet apparent effect of hydrogen spill over.
