Thermal and infrared spectrum analyses of natural and synthetic andersonites

The thermal decompositions of natural and synthetic andersonites were studied. Two partly overlapping dehydration steps and three partly overlapping decarbonation steps were observed. The second dehydration and the first decarbonation steps also partly overlap. During decarbonation, the gradual formation of sodium diuranate and monoclinic and hexagonal phases in the Na₂U₂O₇-CaUO_4–x system was proved. The results were correlated with measured infrared spectra using site and factor group analysis and X-ray structure analysis. The chemical formula inferred for natural andersonite, Na₂Ca[UO₂(CO₃)₃] 5.6H₂O, agrees with that proposed for its synthetic analogue.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von natürlichem und synthetischem Andersonit wurde untersucht. Sie umfasst zwei teilweise überlappende Entwässerungs- und drei teilweise überlappende Decarboxylierungsstufen. Der zweite Entwässerungs- und der erste Decarboxylierungsschritt überlagern einander ebenfalls teilweise. Während der Decarboxylierung wird die allmähliche Bildung von Natriumdiuranat und monoklinen und hexagonalen Phasen des Systems Na₂U₂C₇-CaUO_4–x nachgewiesen. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit den gemessenen IR-Spektren unter Benutzung der site- und Faktor-Gruppenanalyse sowie Röntgenbeugungsuntersuchungen korreliert. Die für natürlichen Andersonit abgeleitete Formel Na₂Ca[UO₂(CO₃)₃].5,6H₂O stimmt mit der für synthetischen Andersonit vorgeschlagenen überein.

A new improved expression for gamma-ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors

In the present paper, a new improved expression for -ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors, ⁰ , is given. It is represented as a continuous function of x (viz. E ^–1) with a maximum and decreases very rapidly to a small positive value as -ray energy, E, drops to 40 keV or lower, but slowly as E rises to 1.7 MeV or higher. Since it can well represent the whole physical process of the -ray detection, this expression may be one of the simplest and most precise representations, for ⁰ at the present time.     

Mean configurational distribution function for the steady state and stern-volmer representation

A slight discrepancy appears between the treatment of the steady state of diffusion controlled bimolecular quenching of excited species either by the pair model or by the continuum model. A simplifying assumption is pointed out which helps to solve the steady state case but which is responsible for the discrepancy. The error involved is of small importance considering the experimental accuracy.

TMA as a method of investigation of the phase structure of segmented polyurethanes

A complex of methodical approaches for investigating structural changes under the influence of temperature are presented on the basis of modern concepts of the domain structure of block copolymers. Effects of formation of structure due to phase segregation, crystallization processes and those of thermal homogenization have been considered in connection with the deformational properties of polymers. One and the same polymer appears to have quite different phase structures and properties when obtained by altering its thermal conditions. Thermomechanical analysis is shown to be a most efficient technique for investigating the changes in the phase structure of a wide series of polyether(ester)urethanes and -urethaneureas.

Zusammenfassung Ein Komplex methodischer Näherungen zur Untersuchung von Strukturänderungen unter dem Einfluss von Wärme werden vorgeführt, welche auf den modernen Konzepten der Gebietstruktur von Block-Kopolymeren beruhen. Die Effekte der Strukturbildung durch Phasensegregation, Kristallisationsvorgänge und thermische Homogenisierung wurden im Zusammenhang mit den Deformationseigenschaften der Polymeren in Betracht gezogen. Das gleiche Polymer scheint ganz verschiedene Phasenstrukturen und Eigenschaften zu haben, wenn es unter veränderten thermischen Bedingungen erhalten wird. Es wird gezeigt, dass die thermomechanische Analyse eine sehr wirksame Technik zur Untersuchung der Phasenstrukturänderungen einer ganzen Reihe von Polyäther(ester)urethanen und -urethankarbamiden ist.

La même polymère semble avoir des structures de phases et des propriétés tout à fait différentes, quand il est obtenu sous différentes conditions thermiques. On montre sur une large série de polyéther (ester)uréthanes et -uréthane urées que l'analyse thermomécanique est une technique très efficace pour étudier les variations de la structure des phases.

Condensation of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester and decarboxylation of the reaction products obtained

-(1-Ethoxyvinyl)- and -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactones were obtained by the reaction of 2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)oxiranes with sodiomalonic ester. Decarboxylation of the -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl-butyrolactones in DMSO leads to -(1-ethoxyvinyl)--butyrolactones, the hydrolysis of which gives -acetyl-butyrolactones. Ethyl trans-3-acetyl-3-pentenoate was obtained by decarboxylation of -methyl--(1-ethoxyvinyl)--ethoxycarbonyl--butyrolactone in DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 22–25, January, 1992.

Effect of reduction temperature on the dehydrocyclizing activity of pure chromia and chromia containing K2O and CaO

The dehydrocyclization of n-heptane at 520–550°C over pure chromia and chromia with added CaO and K₂O (5 wt.% each) has been investigated. Introduction of an alkaline additive into Cr₂O₃ decreases markedly the yield of toluene. Raising of the reduction temperature of alkali-containing samples from 550 to 700°C results, in contrast to pure Cr₂O₃ and chromia-alumina systems, not in diminished, but in increased yields of toluene, the activity enhancement being particularly pronounced for the CaO-containing catalyst. These increased activities cannot be correlated either with variations in specific surface area or changes in the content of Cr⁶⁺ during subsequent oxidation, and presumably should be ascribed to more extensive catalyst reduction at higher temperatures.

By using methyl orange as a competitive complexant, it was shown that solutions of poly(ethylene glycol), poly(propylene glycol) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) equivalent to a concentration of 1.67 mM monomer are able to form soluble inclusion complexes with 0.20 mM solutions of -, - and -cyclodextrins. The complex formation is independent of polymer chain length. Poly(ethylene glycol) solutions complexed, on average with 40%, 45% and 75% of -, -, and -cyclodextrin, respectively. A poly(propylene glycol) solution complexed 55% -cyclodextrin, 80% -cyclodextrin and 90% -cyclodextrin. Poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) solutions complexed on average with 90% of -, -, and -cyclodextrin.

Influence of cyclodextrins on nitrosation of drugs

The World Health Organization issued a nitrosation procedure (NAP Test) which allows to carry out nitrosation under standard conditions. It has proved that the in vitro reaction rates of the fast nitrosatable drugs piperazine, cimetidine and ethambutol are not influenced by -, - and -cyclodextrin. On the contrary, -, -cyclodextrin and heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin enhance the nitrosation of the slower nitrosatable 1-ephedrine and fencamfamine significantly. This possible reaction must be considered if nitrosatable drugs are formulated with cyclodextrins to be administered to human beings.
