Ternary mutual diffusion in aqueous (ethambutol dihydrochloride + hydrochloric acid) solutions

Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients measured by the Taylor dispersion method are reported for aqueous solutions of {ethambutol dihydrochloride (1) + HCl (2)} at 25 °C and various carrier solution compositions. Mutual diffusion coefficients estimated from limiting ionic conductivities using Nernst equations are used to discuss the composition dependence of the measured diffusion coefficients. ¹H NMR studies, combined with DFT calculations, confirm a fully extended conformation for the diprotonated form of the drug present under these conditions, and are consistent with an electrostatic mechanism for the strongly coupled diffusion of diprotonated ethambutol and HCl.     

Synthesis and characterizations of various polyvinyl pyrrolidon/hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate nanocomposite hydrogels as drug delivery systems

Using polymer hydrogels and nanocomposites hydrogels still promising materials for many applications. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) has been used with various polymers synthetic and natural for different applications. In this study PVP and hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) copolymer hydrogels were prepared by the aid of gamma radiation and the PVP/HEMA nanocomposite hydrogels were obtained by in situ adsorption and reduction method of iron salts and silver nitrates (AgNO₃) to form PVP/HEMA-Fe₃O₄ and PVP/HEMA-Ag nanocomposites. The prepared hydrogels and the formed nanoparticles were studied by various techniques; FTIR, TEM, SEM and also the gel content and swelling behavior were evaluated. The prepared hydrogels and nanocomposites hydrogels were examined as drug delivery systems for Ciprofloxacin HCl as model drug. The PVP/HEMA-Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite gave the suitable load and release behavior towards Ciprofloxacin HCl.     

A comparison of an optimised sequential extraction procedure and dilute acid leaching of elements in anoxic sediments, including the effects of oxidation on sediment metal partitioning

The effect of oxidation of anoxic sediment upon the extraction of 13 elements (Cd, Sn, Sb, Pb, Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As) using the optimised Community Bureau of Reference of the European Commission (BCR) sequential extraction procedure and a dilute acid partial extraction procedure (4 h, 1 mol L⁻¹ HCl) was investigated. Elements commonly associated with the sulfidic phase, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and Fe exhibited the most significant changes under the BCR sequential extraction procedure. Cd, Cu, Zn, and to a lesser extent Pb, were redistributed into the weak acid extractable fraction upon oxidation of the anoxic sediment and Fe was redistributed into the reducible fraction as expected, but an increase was also observed in the residual Fe. For the HCl partial extraction, sediments with moderate acid volatile sulfide (AVS) levels (1-100 μmol g⁻¹) showed no significant difference in element partitioning following oxidation, whilst sediments containing high AVS levels (>100 μmol g⁻¹) were significantly different with elevated concentrations of Cu and Sn noted in the partial extract following oxidation of the sediment. Comparison of the labile metals released using the BCR sequential extraction procedure (ΣSteps 1-3) to labile metals extracted using the dilute HCl partial extraction showed that no method was consistently more aggressive than the other, with the HCl partial extraction extracting more Sn and Sb from the anoxic sediment than the BCR procedure, whilst the BCR procedure extracted more Cr, Co, Cu and As than the HCl extraction.     

稀土掺杂对氯化氢氧化制氯气CuO-CeO2-SiO2催化剂结构和性能的影响

采用模板法制备了CuO-CeO₂-SiO₂和稀土掺杂的CuO-Ce_0.9M_0.1O₂-SiO₂ (M=La, Pr, Nd)催化剂. 运用X射线衍射(XRD), N₂吸附-脱附, 透射电镜(TEM), 拉曼(Raman)光谱, X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和氢气-程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)等手段对催化剂的结构进行表征, 并考察稀土掺杂对氯化氢催化氧化制氯气性能的影响. 结果表明, 稀土掺杂进入CeO₂晶格中形成良好的固溶体结构, 获得更小的晶粒尺寸和更高的比表面积, 并且显著提高了固溶体的表面氧空位浓度. 稀土掺杂显著影响了催化剂的氯化氢催化氧化活性, 活性顺序为: CuOCe_0.9La_0.1O₂-SiO₂>CuO-Ce_0.9Nd_0.1O₂-SiO₂>CuO-Ce_0.9Pr_0.1O₂-SiO₂>CuO-CeO₂-SiO₂, 固溶体氧空位浓度的高低与氯化氢氧化活性直接相关. 通过与Ce_0.9M_0.1O₂-SiO₂催化剂的结构和性能的对比, 发现氧空位浓度的提高并不能增强在固溶体表面发生的氯化氢氧化反应. 动力学测试显示, 稀土掺杂后, 氧分子的吸附成为反应过程的决速步骤. 但在V(O₂):V(HCl)=1 条件下, 更高的氧空位浓度导致了固溶体更低的氯化氢氧化反应速率. 结合机理分析认为, CuO-Ce_0.9M_0.1O₂-SiO₂催化剂更高的氧空位浓度增强了固溶体表面的“氧溢流”, 加快了氯化氢氧化的整体反应速率, 这是CuO-Ce_0.9M_0.1O₂-SiO₂具备高活性的关键.     

Convenient and rapid synthesis of α-aminonitriles starting directly from nitro compounds in water

A distinct approach for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles has been discovered by three-component reaction of nitroarenes, aldehydes, and TMSCN using indium in dilute aqueous HCl at room temperature. The products were formed in high yields (86-96%) within a short period of time (5-20 min). This one-pot conversion consists of the following steps: (i) reduction of nitro compounds to amines, (ii) formation of imines from amines and aldehydes and (iii) addition of cyanide anion to the imines.     

基于石英增强光声光谱的HCl痕量气体高灵敏度探测研究

HCl是一种有毒有害气体,对其高灵敏度探测具有非常重要的意义,然而到目前为止,采用激光光谱的手段对其探测的研究报道很少。石英增强光声光谱(QEPAS)是近年来发展起来的一种痕量气体探测技术,具有系统体积小、价格低廉、探测灵敏度高等优点。以5 000 ppm HCl∶N₂混合气作为待测目标,采用输出波长为1 742.38 nm的分布反馈连续波单纵模半导体激光器,开展对基于QEPAS技术的HCl高灵敏度探测研究。为了提高信噪比和简化数据处理过程,QEPAS传感器系统采用波长调制和2次谐波探测技术。研究中,首先对声波探测系统中微共振腔强声波增强特性进行了讨论,选择了“共轴”形式的声波微共振腔,并对其尺寸进行了优化,选择的微共振管长度为4 mm、内径为0.5 mm。实验中研究了激光波长调制深度对QEPAS系统产生的信号幅度的影响,当QEPAS系统积分时间为1 s、激光波长调制深度为0.23 cm-1时,获得了815 ppb的优异检测极限,归一化噪声等效吸收系数为7.41×10-9 cm-1·W·Hz-1/2。在后续的实验中,可在待测HCl气体中加入水汽分子,提高HCl分子的热弛豫速率,进一步提高HCl-QEPAS传感器系统的信号强度。     

Interaction behavior study of HCl on (ZnS)n (n = 1–12) clusters and HCl effect on Hg0 adsorption

The interaction behavior of HCl and (ZnS)_n (n = 1–12) clusters and HCl effect on Hg⁰ adsorbed by (ZnS)_n have been studied theoretically. The combined genetic algorithm and density functional theory (GA-DFT) method has been used to obtain the structures of (ZnS)_nHCl and (ZnS)_nHgHCl (n = 1–12) clusters. The structural properties of (ZnS)_nHCl and (ZnS)_nHgHCl have been analyzed. The adsorption energies and interaction energies have been calculated. Bond length and bond order analysis has revealed that S H and Zn Cl bonds form after HCl adsorbed on (ZnS)_n clusters, while Hg⁰ can only weakly bind with (ZnS)_nHCl clusters. According to thermodynamic adsorption analysis, the formation of (ZnS)_nHCl clusters from (ZnS)_n and HCl are spontaneous because of their negative Gibbs free energy changes. The formation of (ZnS)_nHgHCl from (ZnS)_nHCl and Hg are nonspontaneous for n = 1–4 and 9, and the Gibbs free energy changes have small negative values for other sizes. Electron localization function and noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis of (ZnS)₁₀HgHCl manifest that Hg and its nearest Zn form zinc amalgam. Projected density of state study has been performed to obtain the interaction nature of HCl and (ZnS)_n clusters and Hg⁰ adsorption on (ZnS)_nHCl clusters. Based on our study, HCl is chemical adsorbed by (ZnS)_n clusters except (ZnS)₄ cluster. After (ZnS)_n adsorbs HCl, Hg⁰ can physically adsorb on (ZnS)_nHCl clusters. The strength of Hg⁰ on (ZnS)_nHCl is comparable to that of Hg⁰ on (ZnS)_n, indicating that HCl can hardly affect the adsorption of Hg⁰ on ZnS clusters.

The influence of hydrogen chloride doping level on the complex refractive indices of anisotropic polyaniline film: Application of a new internal reflection waveguide coupling technique

Nondestructive three‐dimensional refractive‐index measurements are used for the determination of both crystallinity and orientation in thin polymer films. The prism waveguide coupler is particularly suitable for three‐dimensional isotropic and anisotropic thin‐film studies because of the quantitative character of the information obtained and the ease of data acquisition. It has been limited, however, to measuring the refractive index of optically transparent or weakly absorbing films. This study shows that a modified prism waveguide coupler can be used to determine the complex refractive index over a range from transparent to highly absorbing films from the internally reflected light intensity. Thus, both the refractive index, n, and the extinction coefficient, k, can be obtained. This method is used to determine the anisotropic three‐dimensional n and k values of spin‐coated emeraldine base and hydrogen chloride doped emeraldine salt polyaniline films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
