Molybdenum nitride fibers or tubes via ammonolysis of polysulfide precursor

Millimeter-sized molybdenum nitride (MoN), in the forms of fiber-like prisms or hollow tubes, has been successfully synthesized via thermal ammonolysis of molybdenum polysulfide precursor. The initial morphology of the precursor is well preserved in the final product. This method could be expanded to preparation of other fiber-like nonmetal ceramics without addition of template. The polysulfide precursor (abbreviated to PS), hydrothermally prepared at 30°C (PS1) or 150°C (PS2), was characterized by various methods for better comprehension of the sulfide-nitride topotactic conversion model.     

A new method for determination of uric acid by the lactic acid-acetone-BrO(3)(-)-Mn(2+)-H(2)SO(4) oscillating reaction using the analyte pulse perturbation technique

A new analytical method for the determination of uric acid (UA) by the perturbation of UA on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillating reaction is proposed. The method is based on the linear relationship between the changes in the oscillating period and the concentration of UA. The calibration curve is linear over the range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁴ M, with a detecting limit of 3.28 × 10⁻⁶ M. The method features good precision (R.S.D.: 3.59%) and excellent throughput (10 samples h⁻¹). The possible mechanism of the perturbation of UA on the oscillating reaction is discussed.     

Preparation of a Carbon-Coated SPME Fiber and Application to the Analysis of BTEX and Halocarbons in Water

A carbon-coated fiber for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been prepared from powdered activated carbon (PAC) and a fused-silica fiber. Scanning electron microscopy of the coating revealed the carbon particles were uniformly distributed on the surface of the fiber substrate. Efficient extraction of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, and o-xylene) and halocarbons (chloroform, trichloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride), with short extraction and desorption times, was achieved by use of the coated fiber. The maximum working temperature of the coated fiber was 300 °C and the lifetime was over 140 desorption operations at 260 °C. Limits of quantification (LOQ) of the SPME method for the eight analytes ranged from 0.01 to 0.94 μg L⁻¹, and relative standard deviations (RSD) were below 7.2% (n=6). Recoveries were 87.9–113.4% when the method was applied to the analysis of BTEX and the halocarbons in real aqueous samples. An erratum to this article is available at .

我们用扩散分子束多光子电离光谱技术研究了丙酮在XeCl准分子激光辐射下的多光子电离和碎裂行为。实验表明丙酮没有产生母体离子峰(m/e=58), 只给出m/e=43和15两个峰, 分别对应于丙酮光解所产生的两个碎片CH_3 CO和CH_3。其离子信号(1)分别与激光强度(Ⅰ)的3和3.6次方成正比。分析表明离子是由中性碎片电离产生的。     

Rearrangement Free Method for Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev Inequalities on $\mathbb{S}^n$

For conformal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev(HLS) inequalities [22] and reversed conformal HLS inequalities [8] on $\mathbb{S}^n,$ a new proof is given for the attainability of their sharp constants. Classical methods used in [22] and [8] depends on rearrangement inequalities. Here, we use the subcritical approach to construct the extremal sequence and circumvent the blow-up phenomenon by renormalization method. The merit of the method is that it does not rely on rearrangement inequalities.     

A novel chain-like molybdenum phosphate: hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structure and characterization of [NH3(CH2CH2)2NH3]3[NH3(CH2CH2)2NH2]-Na5[Mo6O12(OH)3(PO4)(HPO4)3]2·4H2O

A novel organic/inorganic hybrid molybdenum phosphate, [NH₃(CH₂CH₂)₂NH₃]₃[NH₃(CH₂CH₂)₂NH₂]Na₅-[Mo₆O₁₂(OH)₃(PO₄)(HPO₄)₃]₂·4H₂O (1), involving molybdenum presented in V oxidation, has been hydrothermally prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., u.v.–vis., x.p.s., t.g. and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of the title compound (1) may be considered to consist of two [Mo₆O₁₂(OH)₃(PO₄)(HPO₄)₃] units bonded together with NaO₆ octahedra, forming dimers. Further, these dimers connect with each other through four Na⁺ cations as bridges, giving rise to novel one-dimensional chain-like skeleton. Piperazines exist among inorganic chains acting as charge balancing cations.     

Removal of oxygen from silicon by electron beam melting

Small amounts of multicrystalline silicon were melted in an electron beam furnace in different experimental conditions in order to investigate the oxygen evaporation behavior during the electron beam melting (EBM) process. The oxygen content level before and after EBM was determined by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The oxygen content was reduced from 6.177 to 1.629 ppmw when silicon was melted completely at 15 kW with removal efficiency up to 73.6 %. After that, it decreased continually to <0.0517 ppmw when the refining time exceeded 600 s with a removal efficiency of more than 99.08 %. During the melting process, the evaporation rate of silicon is 1.10 × 10^?5 kg/s. The loss of silicon could be reduced up to 1.7 % during oxygen removal process to a desirable figure, indicating EBM is an effective method to remove oxygen from silicon and decrease the loss of silicon.     

SAPO-11分子筛晶化过程研究

采用X射线衍射、X射线荧光光谱、扫描电镜和固体核磁等方法研究了SAPO-11分子筛的水热晶化过程.结果表明,晶化初期,SAPO-11和一种具有磷硅铝组成的未知晶相同时生成;随着晶化的进行,中间相溶解,SAPO-11的生成速率大大增加,呈现快速晶化的特征;至2.33h后,SAPO-11的结晶度接近100%,并保持至晶化结束.硅从晶化初期即参与了SAPO-11的形成,它在晶体中的含量随晶化时间的延长而逐渐增加.硅原子主要以硅岛的形式分布于SAPO-11分子筛骨架中,从而导致多种硅配位环境的存在.分析显示,SAPO-11分子筛呈现外表面富硅的特点,结合晶化过程的分析可推测,硅在SAPO-11分子筛晶体中的分布不均匀,其含量从内向外递增.
