PSF/TiO2杂化超滤膜形成过程的热力学和动力学研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了不同纳米TiO₂含量的聚砜(PSF)/TiO₂杂化超滤膜, 研究了TiO₂浓度对聚砜铸膜液流变学及热力学性质的影响, 构建了计算成膜过程中表观扩散系数(D_a)的新方法, 求出不同TiO₂浓度及温度下的D_a值, 进而剖析了铸膜液流变学和热力学性质的变化对成膜动力学的影响. 并通过扫描电镜观察、杂化膜孔隙率和超滤性能的测试考察了表观扩散系数与膜结构和性能的关系. 结果表明, 加入TiO₂溶胶的PSF铸膜液由牛顿流体转变为非牛顿流体, 其粘度随TiO₂浓度增大而增大. TiO₂的加入减小了铸膜液对非溶剂的容纳能力, 加速铸膜液的液-液相分离, 同时TiO₂引起的热力学促进作用和流变学阻碍作用相互竞争, 共同影响D_a的变化. 实验得出, D_a随温度升高而增大, 随TiO₂浓度的增大有先增大后减小的趋势. 表观扩散系数D_a与膜的结构和性能具有很好的相关性并能直观地描述整个成膜过程.     

Flammability studies of 3-methyl pyridine/water system

In industrial processes, information on the safety property of chemicals is essentially crucial for safe handling during unit operations. Ensuring the safe use of combustible or flammable substances in processes is unlikely without detailed investigations of their flammability characteristics and related hazards. We studied 3-methyl pyridine (3-picoline), e.g., flammability limits (LFL/UFL), maximum explosion pressure (P _max), maximum explosion pressure rise (dP/dt)_max, minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), vapor deflagration index (K _g), and characterized the influence of inert steam (H₂O) on critical parameters for 3-picoline/water mixtures at 270°C, 1 atm, various oxygen concentrations, and vapor mixing ratios (100/0, 30/70, 10/90 and 5/95 vol.%) with a 20-L-Apparatus in simulated conditions, respectively. The results showed that the flammability characteristics of 3-picoline_(aq) all increased with the oxygen concentration. However, as the composition of inert steam increased, the flammability parameters and the degree of fire and explosion hazards were significantly reduced, instead. This study elucidated the flammability properties of 3-picoline mixed with inert steam. The conclusions could be applied to proactively prevent the relevant processes from incurring fire and explosion accidents.     

Interactions of D-Maltose and Sucrose with Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solutions

Calorimetric titrations have been performed at 298.15 K in aqueous solutions to derive the stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of the interactions of D-maltose and sucrose with some amino acids (glycine, DL-alanine, DL-leucine, and L-serine). The apparent molal volumes of the disaccharides in dilute aqueous solutions of the amino acids have been determined from density measurements at 298.15 K. In contrast to D-maltose, sucrose was found to associate with the amino acids and these associated species are preferentially entropy stabilized. These results are interpreted in terms of the influence of the nature of the solutes, their specific conformations, and hydration, on the ability of the disaccharides to form associated complexes with the amino acids.     

THF—FER沸石的系列研究—1．晶体结构稳定性

四氢呋喃（THF）-Na2O-SiO2-Al2O3-H2O体系水热合成的THF-FER沸石，经酸交 换-焙烧脱THF（Ⅰ）或焙烧脱THF-酸交换（Ⅱ）的不同方式处理，均可制得低钠H- FER沸石。经XRD，^27Al与^29Si MAS NMR,低温氮吸附等表征证明，通过1273K高温 的热处理和1073K饱和水蒸气下的水热处理，H-FER沸石骨架保持高度稳定。在高温 水蒸气作用下，Si(2Al）容易从骨架上脱离，而Si(1Al）则保持相对稳定，以（Ⅱ ）方法处理，制备的H-FER沸石在水热条件下易产生较多的硅差劲基缺陷。经高温 热和水热处理后，H-FER沸石孔道结构基本保持完美、开放。     

Use of a database of plots of pesticide retention (R F) against mobile-phase composition.Part I. Correlation of pesticide retention data in normal- and reversed-phase systems and their use to separate a mixture of ten pesticides by 2D TLC

Summary Ten pesticides have been completely separated by two-dimensional (2D) development on TLC plates coated with coupled layers of octadecyl silica (reversed-phase, RP) and plain silica (normal-phase, NP). The binary mobile phases, aqueous-organic for RP chromatography and nonaqueous for NP chromatography, were chosen from plots ofR _F against mobile-phase composition and graphicalR _F(RP)-R _F(NP) correlations. The different selectivity of the RP and NP systems enabled dispersion of spots over the plate area and good separation.     

Experimental and theoretical study of vibrational spectra and structure of dihalogermylene and dihalostannylene complexes with 1,4-dioxane and triphenylphosphine

Vibrational (Raman and IR) spectra of the 1:1 complexes of dihalogermylene and dihalostannylene with 1,4-dioxane and PPh₃ have been reported, the structures of the complexes Cl₂Ge·C₄H₈O₂ and Cl₂Ge·PPh₃ updated using high-resolution X-ray method. Quantum-chemistry calculations of the geometry and normal mode frequencies and eigenvectors were carried out for some of the complexes. The results show that in the structure of the polymeric solid complexes of X₂M with 1,4-dioxane, intermolecular coordination XM plays a prominent role, whereas the corresponding complexes with PPh₃ are monomeric. In the vibrational spectra of all the complexes, an inversion of symmetric and antisymmetric stretching νXM (X=Cl, Br; M=Ge, Sn) frequencies, found for ‘free’ X₂M^II particles, still persists, suggesting that the X₂M moieties preserve their specifity as carbene analogues also in the complexes.     

The ordered phase of methylammonium lead chloride CH3ND3PbCl3

The perovskite-structured compound methylammonium lead chloride orders into a low-temperature phase of space group Pnma, in which at 80 K each of the orthorhombic axes , and is doubled with respect to the room temperature disordered cubic phase (). The structure was solved by ab initio methods using the programs EXPO and FOX. This unusual cell basis for space group Pnma is not that of a standard tilt system. This phase, in which the methylammonium ions, are ordered shows distorted octahedra. The octahedra possess a bond angle variance of 60.663°² and a quadratic elongation of 1.018, and are more distorted than those in the ordered phase of methylammonium lead bromide. There is also an alternating long and short Pb-Cl bond along a, due to an off-center displacement of Pb within the octahedron. This suggests that the most rigid unit is actually the methylammonium cation, rather than the PbCl₆ octahedra, in agreement with existing spectroscopic data.     

Simulation of13C NMR chemical shifts for polychlorinated and polybrominated oxybenzenes with two-particle increment scheme

A two-particle system of OY-Cl and OY-Br mixed increments for predicting¹³C NMR chemical shifts of polyhalogenated polyoxybenzenes has been developed. It has been found that only theortho- and para-interactions of the OY and Hal substituents contribute significantly to the¹³C chemical shifts and that theortho-effects of the OY located between Ha1 and H and those of the OY located between two Ha1 atoms are different. Additional effects are due to solvating solvents. The increment scheme is predictive over the whole class of compounds under consideration and may be realized on personal computers.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Miniaturization of separation techniques using planar chip technology

Miniaturization of separation columns implies equally reduced vol- umes of injectors, detectors, and the connecting channels. Planar chip technology provides a powerful means for the fabrication of micron-sized structures such as channels. This is demonstrated by two examples. An optical absorbance detector chip exhibits the expected behavior of a 1 mm optical path length cell despite its volume of 1 nL. A capillary electrophoresis device allows integrated injections of 100 pL samples, efficiencies of 70,000 to 160,000 theoretical plates in 10 to 20 seconds, and external laser-induced fluorescence detection at any capillary length of choice between 5 and 50 mm.     

Selection of thermotolerant yeasts for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of cellulose to ethanol

A total of 27 yeast strains belonging to the groupsCandida, Saccharomyces, andKluyveromyces were screened for their ability to grow and ferment glucose at temperatures ranging 32-45°C. K. marxianus andK. fragilis were found to be the best ethanol producing organisms at the higher temperature tested and, so, were selected for subsequent simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) studies.
