Factors affecting the combustion toxicity of polymeric materials

Fire gas toxicity is an essential component of any fire hazard analysis. However, fire toxicity, like flammability, is both scenario and material dependent. A number of different methods exist to assess the fire toxicity, but many of them fail to relate this to a particular fire scenario. Sample thickness alone, in a closed box test such as the NBS Smoke Chamber, is shown to change the fire scenario from well-ventilated to under-ventilated. Data from two flow-through tests, the static tube furnace (NF X 70-100) and the steady state tube furnace (the Purser furnace, BS 7990 and ISO TS 19700) show that there are different patterns of behaviour for different polymers (LDPE, polystyrene, rigid PVC and Nylon 6.6). The predicted toxicities show variation of up to two orders of magnitude with change in fire scenario. They also show change of at least one order of magnitude for different materials in the same fire scenario. Finally, they show that in many cases CO, which is often assumed to be the most, or even the only toxicologically significant fire gas, is of less importance than either HCl, or HCN, when present, and in some cases less important than organo-irritants. Nylon 6.6 shows the highest predicted toxicity, the greatest scenario dependence, and the least sensitivity to different apparatuses, while polystyrene shows the highest sensitivity to the different apparatuses, but the lowest to different fire scenarios. PVC shows high toxicity, mostly due to HCl in the fire effluent, under all fire conditions, and LDPE shows a more progressive increase in toxicity from well-ventilated flaming to both smouldering and under-ventilated flaming.     

Kinetic studies of CO2dissociation on supported Ni catalysts

Summary In order to investigate the kinetics of CO₂dissociation on supported nickel catalysts, a novel technique, which can give the surface reaction rate constants with no information on the number of active sites, was developed. It was revealed that CO₂dissociation was more enhanced on TiO₂support than on other metal oxide ones. The activity pattern and activation energies were in good agreement with those obtained by a conventional pulse technique using the number of active sites, suggesting the validity of the present technique for investigating the kinetics of the surface reaction.</o:p>     

过渡金属对分子筛担载Pd催化剂上CO氧化性能影响

分别采用共浸和连续浸渍法制备了一系列添加过渡金属的Pd-M-Ox-NaZSM-5(M=Cr，Mn，Fe，Co，Ni，Cu，Zn，Mo，Zr等)负载型催化剂．以CO氧化为探针反应，考察了不同制备方法对CO氧化性能影响，结果表明共浸法制备的各催化剂其活性明显优于连续浸渍法．详细考察了反应温度、Fe含量、氢气预还原、空速以及水蒸气等对共浸Pd-Fe-Ox-NaZSM-5催化剂上CO氧化行为影响，并应用XRD和XPS等手段对催化剂体相结构和表面状态进行了表征．结果表明：加入Fe2O3可明显提高Pd/NaZSM-5催化剂活性，且催化CO氧化的转化率随反应温度及Fe含量增加而增加；空速增加以及H2预还原作用导致Pd-Fe-Ox-NaZSM-5活性有所降低；催化剂对水蒸气较为敏感．XRD测试结果表明催化剂中Pd组分处于较高分散状态，以红铁矿形式存在的Fe2O3的引入，促进了Pd物种在NaZSM-5载体上的分散．表面XPS分析证实Fe2O3与Pd物种间存在较强的相互协同作用，且催化剂表面Pd物种处于较高氧化状态．Pd的高分散及其与Fe2O3的相互协同作用是共浸催化剂具有高活性的关键因素．

Metal-support interaction in mesoporous silica supported cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

Summary The pore structure of silica supports (SiO₂ or MCM-41) has little influence on the metal-support interaction in silica supported cobalt catalysts. Cobalt dispersion, reduction behavior, and catalytic properties for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis were primarily affected by the metal particle size.     

Thermal characterisation of alumina supported chromium and platinum–chromium catalysts

This study presented results on reduction of alumina supported chromium and platinum–chromium catalysts using temperature programmed reduction method (TPR). It has been shown that catalysts after earlier oxidation step but without calcinations one undergo reduction in lower temperature in comparison to calcined only catalysts. Moreover, addition platinum to Cr/Al₂O₃ catalysts also caused decrease of reduction temperature. It has been observed that over the examined catalysts oxidation CO to CO₂ and reduction CO to CH₄ occurs. However, on Pt–Cr catalysts both reactions proceed at lower temperature compare to Cr catalysts.     

巢湖、龙感湖水体中稀土元素的无机形态研究

运用MINTEQ化学平衡软件对巢湖、龙感湖中溶解态稀土的形态进行模拟。模拟结果表明，在巢湖和龙感湖中Ln（CO3）^2-，LnCO3^＋是溶解态稀土的最主要的存在形式，当8pH〉7．19时，REE主要以LnCO3^＋形式存在，当pH〉8时，REE主要以Ln（CO3）2^-形式存在，并且∑Ln（CO3）n^3-2n（n=1和2）形态的稀土基本上占溶解态稀土总含量的93％以上。Ln^3＋在巢湖和龙感湖水体中平均丰度为5．03％，Ln^3＋的丰度和pH值成反相关关系。LnPO4在湖水中平均丰度为1．61％，但这种形式的稀土在巢湖和龙感湖中非常重要。巢湖和龙感湖中LREE的LnPO4均处于过饱和状态，甚至巢湖西半湖区丰水期HREE的LnPO4的也都处于过饱和状态，PO4^3＋对稀土的存在有很强的限制作用。InSO4，LnF^2＋，LnOH^2＋，LnCl^3＋等形态的各元素平均丰度均小于1％，在富营养化的淡水中通常可以忽略不计。     

OH自由基与CO反应的研究

模板沉淀法制备高比表面积MnOx-CeO2催化剂及其CO低温氧化活性

以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)为模板剂, Ce(NO3)3和Mn(NO3)2为前驱体, 通过沉淀法制备了一系列晶粒小于5 nm的高比表面积MnOx-CeO2催化剂, 并考察了催化剂的CO氧化反应性能. 采用XRD、Raman光谱、TPR和N2气吸附脱附等手段对催化剂的比表面积、晶粒大小和物相组成进行了表征. 当Mn摩尔分数≤34%时, 催化剂的比表面积在160~170 m2/g之间; 当锰含量进一步提高后, 催化剂的比表面积呈下降趋势. 当Mn摩尔分数≤34%时, XRD只检测到CeO2物相, 而Raman光谱则检测到α-Mn2O3的存在. 催化剂上表现出较好的CO氧化活性, 这主要归因于高比表面积. 随着锰含量的增加, 催化剂的轻化频率(TOF)下降, 表明高分散、小晶粒的氧化锰物种是催化剂的活性物种. H2-TPR结果表明, 催化剂的CO氧化活性还与催化剂中高价锰物种有关. 焙烧温度升高使催化剂的晶粒增大、比表面积减小, 同时催化剂中锰的平均价态降低, 导致CO氧化活性下降.
