Ab initio investigation of the magnetic states of Ca2MnO4 and Ca2MnO3.5

An analysis of the electronic and magnetic properties of Ca₂MnO₄ and Ca₂MnO_3.5 is carried out within local spin density functional theory using the augmented spherical wave method. From energy differences between the hypothetic magnetic configurations both systems are found to be insulating antiferromagnets in the ground state with a 1 eV gap. However we identify an intermediate half metallic ferromagnetic state with the Hund’s rule expected moments for Mn^IV (3 μ_B) and Mn^III (4 μ_B, high spin HS configuration), respectively. The latter result of moment magnitude finds support in recent experimental evidence of Mn^III bismuth oxide as a ferromagnet in its ground state. This is characterized by a small density of states (DOS) magnitude of itinerant states in spin (↑) channel pointing to a metallic-like behavior as it is experimentally evidenced. For both Ca₂MnO₄ and Ca₂MnO_3.5 the chemical bonding characteristics are resolved for the two spin channels. Relationship to colossal magnetoresistive compounds is proposed.     

Effect of preparative conditions on the surface characteristics of mixed zirconium and titanium oxides

The surface characteristics of mixed zirconium and titanium oxides prepared from different starting materials are investigated. One mode of preparation entailed the use of zirconium sulfate and titanium oxysulfate as starting materials and ammonium hydroxide as precipitating agent. The produced oxides were washed to different extents to obtain samples with different sulfate content. A second preparative mode used zirconium oxychloride and titanous chloride as starting materials also with ammonium hydroxide as precipitating agent. The oxidation of the titanous to the titanic form for these oxides was carried out by means of oxygen gas. Resulting samples were heat treated at 400 °C and 600 °C, and textural characteristics determined from the adsorption of N₂ at 77 K, complemented by infrared and thermal studies. The samples precipitated from the oxychloride and chloride salts of zirconium and titanium, as well as those precipitated from the sulfate and oxysulfate salts and washed free of the sulfate ions displayed quite similar textural characteristics. The unheated samples and those heat-treated at 400 °C were mesoporous, with some microporosity, and relatively large surface areas in the order of 200–300 m²/g. Heat treatment to 600 °C led to a relative decrease in surface area, in the order of 100 m²/g, and to the disappearance of microporosity. The mixed zirconium and titanium oxides with a sulfate content of ≈17% displayed significantly lower surface areas, smaller than 10 m²/g, with a prevalence of micro and mesoporosity. Infrared and thermal studies indicated the presence of differently bounded sulfato groups, which seem to have a blocking effect on the pores, resulting in the observed smaller surface areas.

NH3在选择性催化还原NO过程中的吸附与活化

 通过大量文献并结合自己的工作,以NH3在催化剂表面的阶段氧化脱氢为主线,分析归纳了选择性催化还原(SCR)反应机理和该体系中可能发生的NH3氧化副反应机理的联系和共性. 对于V2O5/TiO2催化剂,大部分学者认为SCR反应与Brnsted酸性位上的NH+4有关,中间体为NH+3(ads); 而少数学者认为SCR反应与Lewis酸性位上的NH3有关,中间体为NH2(ads). 对于其它SCR催化剂,普遍认可L酸性位上NH3活化脱氢形成的NH2(ads)既是SCR反应中间体,也是NH3氧化生成N2的中间体; NH3氧化生成N2O和NO的反应源于NH2(ads)的进一步脱氢. 尽管有关SCR反应中NH3的吸附位存在分歧,但从NH3吸附后活化的角度看, NH3无论吸附在L酸性位还是B酸性位,都先经过阶段氧化脱氢,然后再参与SCR反应. 由于反应中生成的H2O可能导致L酸向B酸转化,且该转化受反应温度影响,因此不同酸性位机理可能没有本质区别, SCR反应关键是NH3吸附位的氧化性. SCR活性取决于NH3在催化剂表面的吸附量和阶段氧化程度. 催化剂应能吸附足够的NH3, 这与其表面酸碱性有关; 吸附的NH3要能被活化脱氢且程度不宜太高,这与表面氧化还原性有关. 反应温度也会影响NH3的吸附量和活化程度,因此开发高效SCR脱硝催化剂的关键是根据反应温度调控其表面酸性和吸附位的氧化性.

Comparative Study of Mg/M(III) (M=Al, Ga, In) Layered Double Hydroxides Obtained by Coprecipitation and the Sol-Gel Method

Various layered double hydroxides (LDHs) consisting of magnesium and a trivalent metal (Al, Ga or In) in an Mg/M(III) ratio of 3 were prepared by precipitation from the corresponding nitrates and also from magnesium ethoxide and the acetylacetonates of the trivalent metals using the sol-gel method. The six LDHs thus obtained were calcined at 500°C. All solids were characterized by XRD and IR spectroscopy prior to and after calcination. Their textural properties were determined from nitrogen adsorption measurements and their surface chemical properties by CO₂ chemisorption.

The oxidation of 1,2-bis(methoxyaminooxy)ethane (3) with PbO₂ afforded 2,3-dimethoxyperhydro-1,4,2,3-dioxadiazine (4) in the form of the 55:45 mixture of thetrans-4ee- andcis-4 isomers. The barrier of the ring conversion (G₂₃₈ =11.3 kcal/mole) of thecis-4 isomer was determined by the method of¹³C NMR. The regio- and stereospecific stereoelectronically controlled reaction of (4) withpara-nitrobenzoic acid gives the equimolar mixture of methylpara-nitrobenzoate and the 1,2-dialkoxydiazene oxide (5), the structure of which, and the (E)-configuration, were shown by the x-ray structural data of its acylation product — the diazene oxide (6).N.

Laser-induced breakdown detection combined with asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation: application to iron oxi/hydroxide colloid characterization

The combination of asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) with the laser-induced breakdown detection (LIBD) is presented as a powerful tool for the determination of colloid size distribution at trace particle concentrations. Detection limits (D1) of 1, 4, and 20 microg/L have been determined for a mixture of polystyrene reference particles with 20, 50, and 100 nm in size, respectively. This corresponds to injected masses of 1, 4, and 20 pg, which is lower than found in a previous study with the symmetrical FlFFF (SyFlFFF). The improvement is mainly due to the lower colloid background discharged from the AsFlFFF channel. The combined method of AsFlFFF-LIBD is then applied to the analysis of iron oxi/hydroxide colloids being considered as potential carriers for the radionuclide migration from a nuclear waste repository. Our LIBD arrangement is less sensitive for iron colloid detection as compared to reference polystyrene particles which results in a detection limit of approximately 240 microg/L FeOOH for the AsFlFFF-LIBD analysis. This is superior to the detection via UV-Vis absorbance and comparable to ICP-MS detection. Size information (mean size 11-18 nm) for different iron oxi/hydroxide colloids supplied by the present method is comparable to that obtained by sequential ultrafiltration and dynamic light scattering. A combined on-line ICP-MS detection is used to gain insight into the colloid-borne main and trace elements.
