Measurement of the effective thermal conductivity of a Mg–MgH2 packed bed with oscillating heating

The magnesium–magnesium hydride–hydrogen-system (Mg–MgH₂–H₂) offers, because of its combined hydrogen and heat storage capacity, the possibility to design hydride heat pumps and heat stores. For such industrial application systems based on cylindrically formed reactors filled with an active magnesium powder, the effective thermal conductivity limits the time in which the metal hydride alloy is charged and discharged with hydrogen. Determination of this transport coefficient is of fundamental importance for the optimum design of magnesium hydride reactors. The complex interrelation of the different transport mechanisms in a metal hydride packed bed and the hitherto undefined rule that the solid effective thermal conductivity behaves as a function of the hydrogen concentration, requires a reliable and simple-to-realize measuring method so as to determine the effective thermal conductivity of a magnesium hydride bed. In the present study, a report is given for the first time on the initiation of a measuring technique with oscillating change of temperature in a non-permeated packed bed of fine-grained material. The measurement of the effective thermal conductivity can ensue by tailoring the problem-specific mathematical result to the experimentally recorded temperature-time function. The effective thermal conductivity of the magnesium hydride bed varies between 2 and 8 W/(m K) in a temperature range of 523–653 K.     

Determination of lead in complex sample matrices by atomic fluorescence spectrometry: optimisation of online hydride generation

Lead hydride or plumbane (PbH₄) generation was optimised by exploiting a simple flow-injection method coupled to atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS), and allowing ultra-trace lead determination. Plumbane was generated through two methods: (1) 5% (v/v) H₂O₂ was employed as oxidant with 1.5% (m/v) KBH₄ as a reducing agent and 1.5% (v/v) HCl solution; (2) with 1.5% (m/v) K₃[Fe(CN)₆] as an oxidant/sensitiser, 1% (m/v) KBH₄ as a reducing agent and 1.5% (v/v) HCl. Variables such as reagent concentrations, flow rates and sample and reagent volumes were tested and critically compared. The best results were obtained with potassium ferricyanide K₃[Fe(CN)₆], achieving a detection limit of 0.03 μg Pb L^?1 and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.1%. The selected method was validated by analysis of certified reference materials such as SRM-2976 (mussel tissue) and BCR-610 (groundwater), with good agreement with the certified values. The developed methodology was successfully applied to different environmental sample matrices, such as rain water, tap water, ground water, spring water and drinking water, and biological samples, i.e., human blood, plasma and serum.     

Transition metal mediated functionalization of o-carboranes

<正>Carboranes are a class of boron hydride clusters in which one or more of the BH vertices are replaced by CH units.Unlike small boranes, carboranes are kinetically and thermodynamically very stable as well as relatively chemically inert, which are often called three-dimensional relatives of benzenes. They are finding many applications in medicine as boron neutron capture therapy(BNCT) agents, in nanomaterials/supramolecular design as building blocks, and as ligands for transition metals [1]. However, their unique structures make derivatization difficult, which limits their application scope. To this end, there is a need to develop     

Flow‐Injection Online Reduction Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry Determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) with Electrochemical Hydride Generation

Abstract

A new flow‐injection online reduction electrochemical hydride generation system for the determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) was developed. In the system, an electromagnetic induction oven was used as heating resource to reduce Se(VI) to Se(IV) and a homemade tubular electrolytic cell as hydride generator. All analytical procedures were automatically controlled by a computer. The conditions of online reduction, including temperature, HCl concentration, and reduction time, have been studied in detail. The detection limits (3σ) of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in aqueous solution were 0.26 µg L^?1 and 0.23 µg L^?1, respectively. The precision for 11 replicate measurements of 50 µg L^?1 Se(IV) and Se(VI) was 2.2% and 2.5%. This proposed method has been applied to the determination of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in springwater samples.     

Photooxidation Of Arsenobetaine And Arsenocholine To Generate Arsines Previous To Icp-Oes Measurement

Abstract

A photolytic method, which uses UV irradiation (254 nm) and K₂S₂O₈ in alkaline media has been optimized for the speciation of arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic and dimethylarsinic acid, arsenobetaine and arsenocholine. Under these conditions it is possible to obtain not only simple species from arsenobetaine and arsenocholine with good yields, but also to establish the optimum conditions to carry out the process on-line with HG-ICP/OES for the determination of these species.

The products obtained in the photolytic reaction are introduced into the reduction chamber to form arsines. According to the results obtained from the ICP measurements, the recoveries obtained are about 100% and the procedure has a good reproducibility.     

Diisobutylaluminum hydride-promoted cyclization of silylated 1,3-dien-5-ynes: Application to total synthesis of a 20-norabietane derivative

The diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H)-promoted benzocyclization, recently developed by this group, was adopted for the synthesis of a natural product containing a 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene skeleton to demonstrate its synthetic utility. One of the extracts from the roots of Salvia hydrangea DC. ex Bentham (Lamiaceae), a 20-norabietane derivative, was selected as the target molecule. The key step forming the 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene skeleton was achieved by the DIBAL-H-promoted cyclization of a silylated 1,3-dien-5-yne easily accessible from a substituted α-tetralone.     

Simultaneous Determination of Arsenic and Lead in Vegetable Oil by Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry after Vortex-Assisted Extraction

Hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS) is used for the determination of hydride-forming elements due to its high sensitivity, simplicity, and low cost. A new HG-AFS method for the simultaneous determination of arsenic and lead in vegetable oil is reported. Vortex-assisted extraction with dilute nitric acid was used to isolate arsenic and lead from vegetable oil. The conditions influencing the fluorescence signal, including the carrier fluid, oxidizing agent, and reducing agent, were optimized. The interferences of coexisting ions were also evaluated. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection were 0.6 and 0.4?µg?kg^?1 for arsenic and lead. The recoveries were from 84.4 to 105% for both metals in vegetable oil. The optimized method was used for the determination of arsenic and lead in commercial vegetable oil. The analytical results by this approach were in good agreement with values obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with microwave digestion.
