Hochselektive differentialpulspolarographische Spurenbestimmung von Uran (katalytische Nitratreduktion) nach Extraktionsabtrennung

Zusammenfassung Die polarographische Spurenbestimmung von Uran durch katalytische Reduktion des NO ₃ ^– ist eine sehr empfindliche Analysenmethode. Sie kann aber nur unter Ausschluß einer Reihe von störenden Kationen und Anionen durchgeführt werden und erfordert eine genau zusammengesetzte Grundlösung. Darum wurde für das Uran eine einfache und rasche Extraktionsabtrennungsmethode mit Triphenylarsinoxid in CHCl₃ ausgearbeitet. Die Rückextraktion aus der organischen Phase mit 0,02 N Na₂CO₃ und anschließendes definiertes Ansäuern mit HNO₃ ermöglichen die Überführung des Urans in eine für die differentialpulspolarographische Bestimmung geeignete, reproduzierbare Grundlösung. Über 60 untersuchte Kationen und 20 Anionen stören die Bestimmung in weiten Grenzen nicht, was eine vielseitige Anwendung erlaubt. Die Nachweisgrenze liegt bei 1 ppb Uran in wäßriger Lösung. Die relative Standardabweichung beträgt für 100 ppb Uran ±2%.

Highly selective trace determination of uranium by differential pulse polarography (catalytic nitrate reduction), following extraction separation

Summary The trace determination of uranium by differential pulse polarography, using the catalytic reduction of nitrate is known to be very sensitive, if certain interfering ions are excluded and if the composition of the base solution remains constant. In order to fulfil these conditions a simple and selective method for extracting uranium with triphenylarsine oxide in chloroform was developed. Back extraction with 0,02 N Na₂CO₃ and addition of HNO₃ lead to an appropriate base solution for the determination of uranium by differential pulse polarography. The influence of 60 cations and 20 anions was found to be negligible in a wide range. The limit of detection is about 1 ppb U and the standard deviation with 100 ppb U is ±2%.

Spectrographic estimation of Ga, In and Tl in semiconductor grade selenium

Summary An emission spectrographic method for the estimation of Ga, In and Tl in semiconductor grade selenium at less than a ppm concentration has been developed. The impurities were separated from 1 g of selenium by volatilizing it from its solution in nitric acid and sulphuric acid. The residue containing the impurities was dissolved in small amounts of 6 M HCl and was loaded along with the washings on 10 mg mixture containing graphite (90%) and sodium chloride carrier (10%) in the electrode crater. The spectra were excited in a d.c. arc carrying 13 A current. The detection limits lie in the range of 0.0025–0.005 ppm. The precision of the method ranges from 7–12% for these elements. The recoveries of impurities from selenium were confirmed using radioactive tracers.

Spektrographische Bestimmung von Gallium, Indium und Thallium in Halbleiterselen

Zusammenfassung Eine 1 g-Probe wird in Salpeter- und Schwefelsäure gelöst und die Verunreinigungen durch Verflüchtigung des Selens isoliert. Sie werden in 6 M HCl gelöst und zusammen mit einem Graphit/NaCl-Gemisch (91) in die Elektrode eingebracht. Zur Anregung dient ein Gleichstrombogen (13 A). Die Nachweisgrenzen liegen im Bereich von 0.0025–0.005 ppm, der Variationskoeffizient bei 7–12%. Die Wiedergewinnung der Verunreinigungen wurde mit Hilfe von Radioindicatoren geprüft.

     

Numerische Ermittlung quasikonformer Abbildungen mit finiten Elementen

Summary In this note we consider so called p-analytic mappings of simply or doubly connected domains on rectangles or circular rings. Real and imaginary parts of the mappings can be described by minimal-principles. By minimizing the corresponding functionals in a class of linear or bilinear finite elements we obtain an approximation of the mapping and also upper and lower bounds for the p-module of a domain with polygonal boundary. Error bounds are given for smooth and for piecewise constant functionsp. We present numerical experiments.

     

Linear combination of concomitants of order statistics with application to testing and estimation

Summary Let (X ₁,Y ₁), (X ₂,Y ₂),…, (X _n,Y _n) be i.i.d. as (X, Y). TheY-variate paired with therth orderedX-variateX _rn is denoted byY _rn and terms the concomitant of therth order statistic. Statistics of the form are considered. The asymptotic normality ofT _n is established. The asymptotic results are used to test univariate and bivariate normality, to test independence and linearity ofX andY, and to estimate regression coefficient based on complete and censored samples.     

A survey of pseudo (v,k, λ)-designs

This work is an attempt to give a complete survey of all known results about pseudo (v, k, )-designs. In doing this, the author hopes to bring more attention to his conjecture given in Section 6; an affirmative answer to this conjecture would settle completely the existence and construction problem for a pseudo (v, k, )-design in terms of the existence of an appropriate (v, k, )-design.     

Derivation of the transport equation for electrons moving through random impurities

A single (nonrelativistic, spinless) electron subject to a constant external electric field interacts with impurities located on an infinitely extended lattice by a potential of random strength. The random strength is given by a field of Gaussian random variables. We show the existence of the averaged dynamics and prove that in the weak coupling limit, 0, ₂ t= fixed, one obtains the usual transport equation for the velocity distribution.Work supported by a Max Kade Foundation fellowship.On leave of absence of the Fachbereich Physik der Universität München.     

A central limit theorem for age- and density-dependent population processes

Consider a population consisting of one type of individual living in a fixed region with area A. In [8], we constructed a stochastic population model in which the death rate is affected by the age of the individual and the birth rate is affected by the population density P_A(t), i.e., the population size divided by the area A of the given region. In [8], we proposed a continuous deterministic model which in general is a nonlinear Volterra type integral equation and proved that under appropriate conditions the sequence P_A(t) would converge to the solution P(t) of our integral equation in the sense that

$\text{lim}\text{→∞}\text{P}\text{sup}\text{0?s?t}\text{|P}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(s) ? P(s)|>ε}\text{=0}\text{for every}\text{ε > 0}$

.In this paper, we obtain a “central limit theorem” for the random element √A(P_A(t)?P(t)). We prove that under appropriate conditions √A(P_A(t)?P(t)) will converge to a Gaussian process. (See Theorem 3.4 for the explicit formula of this Gaussian process.)

采用脉冲微反技术研究了添加n型半导体氧化物CeO2及贵金属Pd对Ni/γ Al2O3催化剂上CH4积炭/CO2消炭反应性能的影响,并运用BET、TPR、CO2 TPSR及氢吸附等技术对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明, n型半导体氧化物CeO2的添加可以降低Ni/γ Al2O3催化剂上CH4裂解积炭活性,提高CO2消炭活性,添加少量贵金属Pd可以进一步改变载体Al2O3、助剂CeO2和活性组分Ni之间的相互作用,从而改善Ni/γ Al2O3催化剂的抗积炭性能.通过Ni Ce Pd/γ Al2O3催化剂上CH4积炭/CO2消炭模型对上述作用机制作出了新的解释.
