Simple and versatile operational fractionation of Fe and Zn in dietary products by solid phase extraction on ion exchange resins

A simple and versatile protocol, based on use of solid phase extraction on strong ion exchangers and off-line detection by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, was devised to fractionate iron and zinc in common dietary food and beverages products, i.e., bee honeys, fruit juices and tea infusions. In the procedure proposed, cation exchanger Dowex 50Wx4 and anion exchanger Dowex 1x4 were used separately for distinguishing broadly meant the cationic metal fraction and the fraction of stable anionic metal complexes, respectively, after retention of metal species and their exhaustive elution by means of a 4.0 mol l⁻¹ HCl solution. The third fraction, referred to the residual metal species, was retrieved by difference between total soluble metal contents and sum of metal quantities in separated cationic and anionic fractions. The fractionation pattern observed for both metals was described and discussed.     

阻燃及可瓷化硅橡胶成炭结构的研究进展

简单介绍了硅橡胶的阻燃和瓷化机理。依据阻燃剂、填料及炭层结构的不同,将硅橡胶分为阻燃和可瓷化两大类.综述了阻燃硅橡胶和可瓷化硅橡胶的阻燃性能和成炭结构的研究进展。分析表明:添加物理或化学膨胀型阻燃剂的硅橡胶,燃烧过程中形成的炭层疏松多孔,阻燃隔热性能优异,但炭层强度差;添加非膨胀型阻燃剂的硅橡胶,炭层结构相对密实,但表面不平整,存在孔洞和裂缝,阻燃效果不好;添加可瓷化填料的硅橡胶燃烧形成的陶瓷炭层坚硬而致密,具有优异的耐火持久性,但在隔绝热量方面不如膨胀炭层。炭层的疏松隔热与坚固耐久兼顾是阻燃硅橡胶未来可能的发展方向。

On the origin of dynamic instability of molecular systems

The vibronic origin of dynamic instability of molecular systems considered earlier, is here given a more complete and rigorous treatment. It is shown that the nonvibronic contribution to the curvature of the adiabatic potential arising due to nuclear displacements under fixed electronic density distribution, is always positive, and hence the only reason for dynamic instability is the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect. For some examples of special interest (planar equilateral NH₃, planar square CH₄ and linear H ₃ ⁺ ) the molecular excited states, responsible for the instability of the ground state, are revealed by means of ab initio calculations.     

Application of manganese(IV) dioxide microcolumn for determination and speciation of nitrite and nitrate using a flow injection analysis-flame atomic absorption spectrometry system

A flow injection (FI) method with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) detection was developed for the determination and speciation of nitrite and nitrate in foodstuffs and wastewaters. The method is based on the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate using a manganese(IV) dioxide oxidant microcolumn where the flow of the sample through the microcolumn reduces the MnO₂ solid phase reagent to Mn(II), which is measured by FAAS. The absorbance of Mn(II) are proportional to the concentration of nitrite in the samples. The injected sample volume was 400 μL with a sampling rate of analyses was 90 h⁻¹ with a relative standard deviation better than 1.0% in a repeatability study. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite in proposed FI-FAAS system using a copperized cadmium microcolumn and analyzed as nitrite. The calibration curves were linear up to 20 mg L⁻¹ and 30 mg L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.07 mg L⁻¹ and 0.14 mg L⁻¹ for nitrite and nitrate, respectively. The results exhibit no interference from the presence of large amounts of ions. The method was successfully applied to the speciation of nitrite and nitrate in spiked natural water, wastewater and foodstuff samples. The precision and accuracy of the proposed method were comparable to those of the reference spectrophotometric method.     

Intrinsically flame retardant epoxy resin - Fire performance and background - Part I

The flame retardant effect of newly synthesized phosphorus-containing reactive amine, which can be used both as crosslinking agent in epoxy resins and as a flame retardant, was investigated. The effect of montmorillonite and sepiolite additives on the fire induced degradation was compared to pristine epoxy resin. The effect of combining the organophosphorous amine with clay minerals was also studied. It could be concluded that the synthesized phosphorus-containing amine, TEDAP can substitute the traditional epoxy resin curing agents providing additionally excellent flame retardancy: the epoxy resins flame retarded this way reach 960 °C GWFI value, 33 LOI value and V-0 UL-94 rating - compared to the 550 °C GWFI value, 21 LOI value and “no rate” UL-94 classification of the reference epoxy resin. The peak of heat release was reduced to 1/10 compared to non-flame retarded resin, furthermore a shift in time was observed, which increases the time to escape in case of fire. The flame retardant performance can be further improved by incorporating clay additives: the LOI and the HRR results showed that the optimum of flame retardant effect of clay additives is around 1 mass% filler level in AH-16-TEDAP system. Applying a complex method for mechanical and structural characterization of the intumescent char it was determined that the flame retarded system forms significantly more and stronger char of better uniformity with smaller average bubble size. Incorporation of clay additives (owing to their bubble nucleating activity) results in further decrease in average bubble diameter.     

Inherent instabilities of some W5Si3-type binary phases with large electropositive metal atoms: Six examples in the Ba-Pb, Ca-Sn-Mg,Cu,Zn, and La-Ga-Al,Zn systems

A particular pathology of certain W₅Si₃-type A₅B₃ structures (I4/mcm) appears to arise because of unduly close approaches of the A1-type atoms on the cell faces at , 0, () that occur with the larger and more electropositive A and/or in the presence of smaller B atoms. A structure refinement of binary Ba_4.81Pb₃ indicates such a marginal stability in that the Ba atoms in the facial Ba_0.81 chains exhibit an extreme displacement ellipsoid along . Although Ca₅Sn₃ and La₅Ga₃ binaries are unknown in this structure type, five stable ternary derivatives of these have been synthesized via substitution reactions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction means: Ca₄Sn_3.223(4)Mg_0.777, Ca₄Sn₃Cu_1.30(4), Ca_4.66(6)Sn₃Zn_0.704(4), La_4.81(1)Ga_1.38(2)Al_1.62, and La_4.762(5)Ga_1.5(1)Zn_1.5. Only the Ca-Sn-Zn phase exhibits lower symmetry, P4/mbm. The problematic A1 sites exhibit diverse changes in these, whereas the surrounding B2 tetrahedra are largely unaltered. The Ca-Sn results are, respectively: direct Mg/Sn substitution at the Ca1 site; mixed fractional distribution of the smaller Cu at two sites around the A1 position with an unresolved disorder; a pair of apparently independent modes, fractional Ca in the normal position and fractional Zn rectangles thereabout. The two La-Sn phases contain normal Ga,Al (Ga,Zn) tetrahedral chains with pairs of fractional disordered La atoms along , 0, z. Each can be rationalized in terms of a reasonable incommensurate structure. Electronic effects may also be operable.     

Multidimensional separation of isomeric species of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as PCB,PCDD, and PCDF

A multidimensional GC-system containing two capillary columns of different polarities, operated within a double oven instrument, was used for the optimized separation of complex isomeric mixtures of various types of chlorinated aromatic compounds such as PCB, PCDD, or PCDF. Electron capture was applied parallel to flame ionization detection to obtain sensitive signals of the PCB or PCDD and the n-alkane standards required for identification by Kovats indices, respectively. Electron capture detection within a valvelessly operated MDGC system forced changes in the usual instrumental set-up, the live-switching coupling piece being located within the second oven of the double oven instrument. This oven is operated isothermally to ensure optimal and interference-free detection, for stable flow conditions within the coupling piece and for the determination of the isothermal retention indices (Kovats), which are much more suitable for identification by retention than the so-called “linear” indices.
