Effect of Surfactants on the Immobilization of 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol on Silochroms

The effect of cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate) and a nonionic surfactant (OP-7) on the conditions of the immobilization of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) on three types of silica gel (Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m), Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m), and Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m)) was studied. It was found that OP-7 does not affect the adsorption of surfactants. The effect of cationic surfactants increases in the order tetrabutylammonium perchlorate < cetyltrimethylammonium bromide < cetylpyridinium bromide. The adsorption activity of silica gels increases in the order Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m) < Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m) < Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m). Cetylpyridinium bromide provides full immobilization of PAR on silica gel Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m) in the pH range 2–9.

An Alternative Method of Introducing Fugacity

In current textbooks fugacity is introduced according to its differential or integral mathematical formulation. In this article an alternative method of explanation is offered. It is suggested that the real state of a pure gas can be described by comparing it to a hypothetical idealized state. The differences between these two states can then be expressed in terms of a function, , defined as (T,P) = _real(T,P) - _ideal(T,P) where _real and _ideal are the chemical potentials of the gas in its real and ideal states, respectively. The function is a molar excess quantity and is expressed as (T,P) = RT1n where is the fugacity coefficient. This approach introduces fugacity deductively through the function, which leads to , the fugacity coefficient. This method is also appropriate for introducing the activity of solution components and the fugacity of a real gas in gaseous mixtures.

Effect of pretreatment in benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst

Benzene hydrogenation on Pt/nylon catalyst produced cyclohexene and cyclohexane, in contrast to Pt/SiO₂ on which only cyclohexane was detected. Higher selectivity to cyclohexene was found at higher temperature and after air pretreatment. It is suggested that an oxidized platinum species is responsible for cyclohexene formation.

Comparative study of single-crystal dehydration of LiCOOH.H2O and Li2SO4·H2O

The kinetics of isothermal dehydration of two crystal hydrates with equivalent water molecule sublattices (LiCOOH.H₂O and LiSO₄.H₂O) was investigated in vacuum with a quartz crystal microbalance, and the dynamics of structural reorganization of the substances was studied by the synchrotron radiation method. Differences were found both in the nucleation stage and in the stage of reaction interface advance. The results indicate that the kinetic behaviour of isothermal decomposition of solids is determined by the structural reorganization of a metastable intermediate.

Critical behavior and interfacial tension of mixtures of propylene glycol and ethylene glycol oligomers

This investigation presents an analysis of the critical behavior of mixtures of oligomers of propylene glycol, PG₁₇, and ethylene glycol, EG_n, withn=3, 4, 5, 6.4, 8.7, 12.1 and 22.1. The critical coordinates, _c andT _c were determined from the phase diagrams. The critical compositions compare very well with the Huggins-Flory predictions. The interaction parameter _n is around one for EG₃, EG₄ and EG₅ and it increases up to two for the higher oligomers. The break in the interaction parameter also corresponds to a minimum in the critical temperature. The phase diagrams and the interfacial tension were used to get the critical exponents and , respectively. The data were analysed with two approaches. First, from the temperature dependence of the length of the tie-lines and of the interfacial tension up to the upper critical solution temperature, UCST. Second, with the data at 30°C using the critical temperature of the systems as the variable. The first method led to =0.39±0.05 in good agreement with the result of the second method, =0.37±0.04. The exponents for the interfacial tension, , determined with the first method for PG₁₇ with EG_6.4, EG_8.7 and EG_12.1 are =1.66±0.11, 1.46±0.25 and 1.73±0.18, respectively. The second method led to =1.17±0.14. The critical exponents are compared to mean field and ising-3D predictions.

Bestimmung von Ascorbinsäure auf Grund ihrer in einem Landolt-System ausgeübten reduzierenden Wirkung

Zusammenfassung Im Bromat-Jodid-Ascorbinsäure-System hängt die Zeit, die bis zur Jodausscheidung vergeht, von der Konzentration der Ascorbinsäure ab. Unter entsprechenden Versuchsbedingungen ist die Reaktionszeit proportional der Ascorbinsäurekonzentration. Danach kann die Ascorbinsäure sowohl mit Hilfe der Simultankomparationsmethode, als auch chronometrisch bestimmt werden. Die Genauigkeit ist ± 3% im Bereich von 5 bis 300g/5 ml. Die Grenzen der Bestimmung sind 1g bzw. 1000g Ascorbinsäure in 5 ml.

Determination of ascorbic acid on the basis of its reducing action in a landolt system

Summary In the bromate-iodide-ascorbic acid system, the time that elapses until the iodine appears is dependent on the concentration of the ascorbic acid. Under appropriate experimental conditions, the reaction time is proportional to the ascorbic acid concentration. Accordingly, the ascorbic acid may be determined with the aid not only of the simultaneous comparison method but also chronometrically. The precision is ± 3% in the 5–300g/5 ml range. The limits of the determination are 1g and 1000g ascorbic acid in 5 ml respectively.

     

Human prostate specific antigen (hPSA) purification and establishment of hPSA radioimmunoassay

Human prostate specific antigen (hPSA) RIA was developed with hPSA and anti-PSA prepared in our laboratory. Its standard curve was linear with a sensitivity of 0.5 g/L. Serum PSA levels of 130 normal males ranged from 0 to 3.5 g/L (1.15±0.93 g/L), which are consistent with the results of other conventional RIA. The recovery, intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation conform to the demands of RIA, and the results of 41 samples obtained by both the PSA RIA and PSA RIA of DPC were well correlated (=0.990). PSA level of 23 patients with prostatic carcinoma was 10400 g/L.

Size spectra for trace elements in urban aerosol particles by instrumental neutron activation analysis

Size-fractionated aerosol samples collected with micro-orifice impactors at Camden, NJ, a heavily industrialized urban area, and at two sites near Washington, DC, were analyzed for elemental constituents determined instrumentally from short-lived neutron activation products. A least-squares peak-fitting method was used with impactor calibration data to determine log-normal distribution parameters, i.e., mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (_g) for particles bearing S, V, Br, and I. For these elements, MMADs ranged from 0.24 to 0.65 m; 0.23 to 0.53 m; 0.22 to 0.61 m, and 0.20 to 0.48 m, respectively.     

Zur Verteilung von Dotierungsstoffen in Selengleichrichterplatten

Zusammenfassung Zur schichtweisen Analyse von Tellurmengen im ppm-Bereich in Selengleichrichterplatten wird das Selen mit wäßriger Alkalicyanidlösung in etwa 1 starken Schichten von diesen abgelöst. Für die Abtrennung der darin befindlichen Tellurspuren eignet sich die gemeinsame reduzierende Fällung durch Hydrazindichlorid mit Selen als Spurenfänger. Die quantitative Analyse des Tellurs erfolgt in Gegenwart eines maximal 10⁵fachen Selenüberschusses mit Hilfe der durch Chrom katalysierten Redoxreaktion zwischen Tellur(IV) und Tri-1, 10-eisen(III)-phenanthrolin (Ferriin). 20 Proben können in 2 Tagen analysiert werden. Es betragen die Standardabweichung im Bereich von 3–50 g Tellur etwa 0,6 g, der Streubereich für 99%ige Sicherheit ±42% resp. ±12%, die Erfassungsgrenze 1,5 g in 25 ml und die Grenzkonzentration 0,06 g/ml. Ein Beispiel für die Tellurverteilung in einer Selengleichrichterplatte ist wiedergegeben.

On the distribution of doping elements in selenium rectifier cellsII. Method for the determination of the distribution of tellurium in selenium rectifier cells

The dissolution of the selenium in ca. 1 layers is realised by aqueous solutions of alkali cyanides. The separation of the ppm amounts of tellurium from this solution is possible in acid medium by a reducing coprecipitation of the traces of tellurium by hydrazine dichloride with selenium as trace catcher. In the presence of an excess up to 10⁵ of selenium tellurium is determined quantitatively by means of the Cr-catalysed redox reaction between tellur(IV) and tri-1,10-phenanthroline-iron(III) (ferriin). 20 samples can be completed in 2 days. The standard deviation in the range from 3 g to 50 g is about 0.6 g; the limit of error for 99% security is ±42%, respectively ±12%; the limit of detection is 1.5 g tellurium in 25 ml according to 0.06 g/ml. An example for the distribution of tellurium in a selenium rectifier cell is given.

Determination of traces of sodium alkylbenzenesulphonate by high-performance liquid chromatography. Application to water

Summary For the trace determination of sodium alkylbenzenesulphonate (ABS) by HPLC the following conditions were employed: Shimadzu ZORBAX SIL Column (5 m, 4.6 mm i.d. x 150 mm) as stationary phase, 0.2% ammoniaethanol (v/v) as mobile phase, UV detector at 225 nm, injection volume 12 l. The chromatograms of ABS were simple and sharp (detection limit of ABS 0.02 g in 12 l of ethanol). The calibration curves of ABS were linear in a concentration range of 0.03 0.3 g in 12 l of ethanol. In the case of linear sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate positive errors of 1 4% were caused by non-ionic surfactants or laurylsulphate (6 times excess), 10 50% positive errors were caused by 2 6 times excess of household detergents.Standard water samples containing ABS were treated with a weak base anion-exchange resin, the adsorbed ABS were eluted, and then determined either by HPLC or by the methylene blue spectrophotometric method. Recoveries of ABS in water were about 92 107% by HPLC.
