Activity characterization of 192Ir brachytherapy wires

Summary The radionuclide ¹⁹²Ir has been increasingly used as a brachytherapy source and manufactured in different geometry forms (thin wires, hairpins, needles or point sources). A procedure for the characterization of the activity content of ¹⁹²Ir wire sources was developed in order to establish the secondary standard activity measurement system based on the ionization chamber set up at Brazilian National Laboratory for Ionizing Radiation Metrology (LNMRI). Firstly, the ion current of the ionization chamber is measured and, subsequently, the activity is determined in a destructive analysis. This procedure enables obtaining the calibration factor for wire sources that can be used for further activity determination of similar sources in a non-destructive analysis. Accurate activity determination is needed for dosimetric measurements and for helping the manufacturers to improve its quality control programs.

Decomposition of no on Pd and Ir. Comparison with Pt and Rh

The unimolecular decomposition of NO has been examine on Pd and Ir and they are compared with the corresponding reactions on Pt and Rh. The runs were carried out in a differential flow reactor, at pressures from 0.01 to 5 Torr and temperatures from 500 to 1800 K.

The decomposition of NO was virtually identical on Pt and Pd, and on Rh and Ir, but varied widely with temperature between these two groups of metals.     

大孔碳载Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能

分别以大孔炭(MC)和Vulcan XC-72炭黑(XC)为载体,制备了Ir/MC和Ir/XC催化剂。 在用X射线能量色散谱(EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)谱、拉曼光谱对催化剂表征的基础上,用电化学技术研究了2种炭载Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能,发现氨在Ir/MC催化剂电极上,氧化峰峰电流密度比在Ir/XC催化剂电极上大38.7%左右,而且电催化稳定性明显好于Ir/XC催化剂。 由于Ir/MC和Ir/XC催化剂的Ir粒子平均粒径和相对结晶度相似,因此,这只能归结于MC有大的孔径和孔率及高的石墨化程度引起的高电导率。 所以MC是一种比XC更好的催化剂的炭载体。     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Ammonia on Ir Anode in Potential Fixed Electrochemical Sensor

Ir catalyst possesses a good electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for the oxidation of NH3 and/or NH4OH at Ir anode in the potential fixed electrochemical sensor with the neutral solution. Owing to the same electrochemical behavior of NH3 and NH4OH in a NaClO4 solution, NH4OH can be used instead of NH3 for the experimental convenience. It was found that the potential of the oxidation peak of NH4OH at the Ir/GC electrode in NaClO4 solutions is at about 0.85 V, and the current density of the oxidation peak of NH4OH is linearly proportional to the concentration of NHaOH. The electrocatalytic oxidation of NH4OH is diffusion-controlled. Especially, Ir has no electrocatalytic activity for the CO oxidation, illustrating that CO does not interfere in the measurement of NH4OH and the potential fixed electrochemical NH3 sensor with the neutral solution, and the anodic Ir catalyst possesses a good selectivity. Therefore, Ir may have practical application in the potential fixed electrochemical NH3 sensor with the neutral solution.

超细Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化性能

报道了一种新型的、用NH4F作络合剂的络合还原法制备的Ir催化剂及其对氨氧化的电催化性能. 结果表明, 由于溶液中的Ir3+和NH4F形成络合物, 因此用这种络合法制得Ir催化剂中Ir粒子的平均粒径为2.8 nm, 要比不加络合剂时制得的Ir催化剂中Ir粒子的平均粒径(7.5 nm)小很多. 所以, 用络合还原法制得的Ir催化剂对氨氧化的电催化活性和稳定性都比不加络合剂时制得的Ir催化剂好很多. 且该制备方法简单、实用, 适用于催化剂的实际生产.     

TAP studies of ammonia decomposition over Ru and Ir catalysts

The Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP) technique has been used to investigate the mechanism involved in the catalytic decomposition of NH(3) over a series of catalysts consisting of activated carbon supported Ru (promoted and non-promoted with Na) and over an activated carbon supported Ir. An extensive study of the role played by both the support and the promoter in the "side reactions" and in the stability and surface lifetime of the NH(x) species has been performed. It was suggested that the N(2) produced during the first steps of the reaction over the activated carbon supported Ru catalysts promoted with Na forms a Na-N-Ru complex at the promoter-transition metal crystallite interface. This study also suggests that the Na promoter prevents the diffusion of hydrogen from the metal to the support via spill-over. A similar effect was observed after the thermal treatment at high temperature of the carbon catalyst support. Finally large differences in multi-pulse TAP results have been detected between Ru and Ir catalysts implying that the NH(3) decomposition reaction mechanism must be different on both metals.     

铂和铱催化剂在中性电解液中对nh3电氧化性能

比较了Pt和Ir催化剂在中性NaCIO4电解液中对NH3氧化的电催化活性和选择性.发现NH3和NH4OH在Pt和Ir催化剂上的电氧化性能相似,因而可用NH4OH代替NH3进行研究.NH4OH在Pt和Ir催化剂上氧化峰峰电流密度与NH4OH浓度呈很好的线性关系,因而Pt和Ir均能作为控制电位电解型NH3传感器的催化剂.当NH4OH浓度为0.013 mol/L时,NH3在Pt和Ir催化剂上的氧化峰分别位于0.4和0.8 v,NH4OH在Pt催化剂上的氧化峰峰电位负于在Ir催化剂上的,这是Pt催化剂的优点,但NH4OH在Ir催化剂上的氧化峰峰电流密度为Pt催化剂上的2.5倍以上,说明NH4OH在Ir催化剂上的检测灵敏度远高于在Pt催化剂上的.而且CO对NH3在Ir催化剂上的检测没有干扰,但在Pt催化剂上有明显干扰.因此,初步的研究结果表明,Ir催化剂较适用于定电位电解型的NH3电化学传感器的阳极催化剂.

Decomposition of NH3 on Pd and Ir Comparison with Pt and Rh

The unimolecular decompositions of NH₃ on polycrystalline wires and foils of Pd and Ir are examined and compared with the corresponding ones on Pt and Rh. The reactions were carried out in a differential flow reactor, at pressures from 0.01 to 1 Torr and temperatures from 500 to 1900 K. It was found that the rates of product formation could be fit by Langmuir-Hinshelwood unimolecular rate expressions, with an accuracy of ±20% under all conditions. Ammonia decomposes to N₂ and the rate of decomposition is fastest on Ir by several orders of magnitude when compared with that on the other metals, becoming flux limited above about 750 K. Ir appears to be the choice catalyst for dehydrogenating ammonia. The heats of adsorption of NH₃ on Pt, Rh and Pd are similar and equal to 16.7, 16.8 and 17.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The apparent activation energy for this reaction is similar on Pt and Rh and equal to 21 kcal/mol, while for Pd and Ir it is 26.2 and 31.2 kcal/mol, respectively.     

Titanium-supported nanoporous bimetallic Pt–Ir electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation

Novel titanium-supported nanoporous network bimetallic Pt–Ir/Ti electrocatalysts (S1:Pt₅₉Ir₄₁/Ti, S2:Pt₄₄Ir₅₆/Ti, S3:Pt₂₂Ir₇₈/Ti) have been successfully fabricated by the hydrothermal process. The nanoparticles of Pt and Ir were deposited on the titanium substrates in the presence of formaldehyde as a reduction agent. The electrocatalytic activity of these electrocatalysts towards formic acid oxidation in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ + 0.5 M HCOOH solutions was investigated using cyclic voltammograms (CVs), linear sweep voltammograms (LSVs), chrono amperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The CVs of S1, S2 and S3 exhibit two anodic peaks in the forward scan and one anodic peak in the reverse scan which are similar to the pure Pt. Their LSVs show that the three samples present significantly high current densities of formic acid oxidation compared to the Pt electrode. It is observed from the chrono amperometric measurements at potential 600 mV that the sample S2 delivers a steady-state current density that is 545 times larger than that for the pure Pt electrode. EIS analysis shows that the impedances on both the imaginary and real axes of S1, S2 and S3 are much lower than those of the pure Pt. Among the three samples (S1, S2 and S3), S2 exhibits the highest electrocatalytic activity towards the formic acid oxidation.

Competitive paths for methanol decomposition on Pt(111)

Periodic, self-consistent, Density Functional Theory (PW91-GGA) calculations are used to study competitive paths for the decomposition of methanol on Pt(111). Pathways proceeding through initial C-H and C-O bond scission events in methanol are considered, and the results are compared to data for a pathway proceeding through an initial O-H scission event [Greeley et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 7193]. The DFT results suggest that methanol decomposition via CH(2)OH and either formaldehyde or HCOH intermediates is an energetically feasible pathway; O-H scission to CH(3)O, followed by sequential dehydrogenation, may be another realistic route. Microkinetic modeling based on the first-principles results shows that, under realistic reaction conditions, C-H scission in methanol is the initial decomposition step with the highest net rate. The elementary steps of all reaction pathways (with the exception of C-O scission) follow a linear correlation between the transition state and final state energies. Simulated HREELS spectra of the intermediates show good agreement with available experimental data, and HREELS spectra of experimentally elusive reaction intermediates are predicted.
