Spectrophotometric and gravimetric determination of sulfur in sebacate-base lubricants

Sulfur is determined in sebacate-base lubricants spectrophotometrically and gravimetrically. In the spectrophotometric method, a 0.2–0.3-g sample is treated with mixed acids, magnesium chloride is added, and the solution is evaporated to dryness. The sulfate is reduced to hydrogen sulfide by treatment with a mixture of hydriodic. hypophosphorous, and hydrochloric acids, and the hydrogen sulfide is distilled into ammonia solution. Lead citrate reagent is added and the brownish yellow color of lead sulfide sol is measured. An improved technique and apparatus for the distillation is described. In the gravimetric method, a 5-g sample is treated with mixed acids, antimony and tin are volatilized by treatment with hydrobromic acid, and sulfur is precipitated as barium sulfate. The recommended range of the spectrophotometric method is 0.005–0.15%,and that of the gravimetric method is 0.01–1% sulfur.

Development and validation of a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry procedure for confirmation of para-toluenesulfonamide in edible fish fillet tissue

Chloramine-T is a disinfectant being developed as a treatment for bacterial gill disease in cultured fish. As part of the drug approval process, a method is required for the confirmation of chloramine-T residues in edible fish tissue. The marker residue that will be used to determine the depletion of chloramine-T residues from the edible tissue of treated fish is para-toluenesulfonamide (p-TSA), a metabolite of chloramine-T. The development and validation of a procedure for the confirmation of p-TSA is described. Homogenized fish tissue is dried by mixing with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the mixture is extracted with methylene chloride. The extract is passed through a silica gel solid-phase extraction column, from which p-TSA is subsequently eluted with acetonitrile. The acetonitrile extract is evaporated, and the oily residue is dissolved in hexane. The hexane solution is shaken with fresh acetonitrile. The acetonitrile solution is evaporated and the residue is redissolved in dilute potassium hydroxide solution. The aqueous solution is extracted with methylene chloride to further remove more of the fat co-extractive. The aqueous solution is reacted with pentafluorobenzyl bromide in presence of tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate. The resulting di-(pentafluorobenzyl) derivative of p-TSA is analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. This method permits the confirmation of p-TSA in edible fish tissue at 20 ppb.     

Determination of free, total, and esterified cholesterol by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method is described for measuring free, total, and esterified cholesterol in blood serum in which reversed-phase liquid chromatography is used and the eluate is monitored at 200 nm. The sample for total cholesterol is prepared according to the Abell-Kendall procedure, and for free cholesterol an extract of serum--isopropanol (1:5, v/v) is used. The column is a muBondapak C18, 10 micrometers, and the mobile phase for total cholesterol is isopropanol--acetonitrile (50:50, v/v); for free cholesterol, it is isopropanol--acetonitrile--water (60:30:10). An approximation of the free cholesterol, triglycerides, and individual cholesteryl esters is obtained from single chromatograms of isopropanol extracts of serum if the first mobile phase is used. In a comparison study with the Abell-Kendall method for total cholesterol, the correlation is excellent and the precision is acceptable.     

On energy bounds derived from the conjugate eigenvalue problem

An upper bound for E₀, which has been derived from the conjugate eigenvalue problem by Hall, is discussed. It is emphasized that the bound is only guaranteed when V is negative-definite. An alternative bound is presented which is free from this restriction, and the underlying iterative procedure is given. Hall's result is generalized to admit internuclear distances, and the theory is illustrated by a one-dimensional system with delta-function potentials. Some disadvantages of the approach are mentioned.

A rapid solvent extraction method for the determination of caesium-137 in environmental materials

A solvent extraction method for the quantitative determination of caesium-137 in environmental samples is described. Caesium carrier is added to the ashed sample, which is dissolved with hydrochloric acid. The solution is filtered to remove any carbon and the pH is adjusted to 2.0. Sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate is added and the extraction is done with phenol-nitrobenzene mixture. The organic phase is washed with EDTA solution and the caesium is stripped from the washed solvent with 6 M hydrochloric acid. The caesium is precipitated as caesium chlorostannate to ensure absolute decontamination from potassium-40. Recovery from standard solution is about 85% and from vegetation, rainwater and effluent samples about 80%. The method is applicable in the presence of large quantities of interfering ions, and decontamination factors for many nuclides are greater than 10³.     

Polymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery Technology

Recently enhance oil recovery (EOR) technology is getting more attention by many countries since energy crises are getting worse and frightened. One of the reasons for this is due to the shortage of current oil resources and difficulties in finding a new oil field. Indonesia is one of the examples, before 2004 Indonesia is a net oil exporting country but after that Indonesia is a net oil importing country. The oil demand in the country is increasing while the oil production capacity is decreasing. In fact, when a new oil reservoir is drilled, the oil amount obtained from it is about 20-40% of the potential and hence there is still 60-80% oil left in the reservoir. Application of EOR technology gives an additional chance to get out more oil from the reservoir, possibly about another 20%. Polymer is the material that plays an important role in the application of EOR technology, especially surfactant and hydrogel polymers. In the technology, surfactant polymer is injected to the reservoir to reduce an interfacial tension between oil and water and is able to wipe out the trapped oil from the reservoir rock and hence increase the oil production. While an injection of hydrogel polymer to the reservoir is to increase a viscosity of fluid containing water so that the fluid is more difficult to flow than the oil, and as a result, the oil production increases. The most common polymer used for this application is polyacrylamide group.     

On-line water removal during enzymatic triacylglycerol synthesis by means of pervaporation

Triacylglycerols can be synthesized from glycerol and fatty acids. During this equilibrium reaction water is produced, therefore a mixture of mono-, di- and triesters is obtained. One way to produce an excess of triacylglycerols is to remove the water produced during synthesis. This can be realized in an immobilized enzyme pervaporation system. The enzyme is immobilized onto the lumen side of a cellulose membrane where the organic phase is present. Air circulates at the shell side and the water activity is controlled with the use of a condenser. The lipase catalyzed esterification of decanoic acid and partial glycerides is studied in this reactor. The system is reaction limited. Only at low water activity conditions, an excess of triacylglycerols is obtained. The enzyme activity at the start of the experiments is independent of the water activity within the range studied. Stability is influenced: After 600 hours the activity is 26% of the activity at the start at a_w = 0.1 and 71% at a_w = 0.45.     

Measuring the electrophoretic mobility of concentrated suspensions in nonaqueous media

We present a new method of measuring the electrophoretic mobility of a particle in a concentrated suspension. The method is used to measure the electrophoretic mobility of PMMA particles (diameter 10 microm) suspended in a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. The particle volume fraction of the suspension is varied from 0 up to 0.30 and the resulting variation of the electrophoretic mobility is discussed. The suspending liquid is such that its refractive index is very close to that of the particles. Thus the suspension is almost transparent and it is possible to follow through a microscope the motion of one particle. The suspension is subjected to a low-frequency electric field (0.5 Hz). The cell containing the suspension is mounted on a piezoelectric crystal. The displacement that compensates for the particle motion (when the particle image is steady) is determined.

《庄子》“小大之辩”两种解释取向及其有效界域

小大之辩是《庄子·逍遥游》的重要论题,对此已形成两种基本解释取向：“小大齐一”和“小不如大”。现代研究者视之为矛盾冲突的表现,解决之道往往是在两者之中选择其一。但这种解决方式犯了误置具体性的错误,合理的解决方式是贞定两种取向的各自有效界域。通过对《逍遥游》的整体研究,可以看到：小不及大的合理界域指向的是心,即生存论的视域与格局,小不及大意味着最大化地扩展生存论视域;小大齐一是就性而言的,每一物之性在质上虽然各不相同,可谓千差万别,根本无法齐等,但皆可通达在己之天,由性而天的道路对每一个存在者都是齐等的,因而,与小大齐一相关联的是,走向适性、足性之路,才能成就主体的自由。主体的自由行程以大其心始,以等齐其性终,在小大之辩的尽头,万物各从其性,不同存在者自性齐等,这就是“天地之正”的世界图景,后者乃是小大之辩的最终归宿。     

Photogalvanic cells: Part VIII. The theory of the transparent rotating disc electrode

The theory of the transparent rotating disc electrode is first extended to cover the case where two photogenerated species react with second-order kinetics and where one of the species is electroactive and the other is not. Secondly the theory is developed to describe the case where the solution is bleached close to the electrode. Thirdly theory is presented for experiments where the light source is modulated and the phase shift and amplitude of the resulting modulated photocurrent are measured.     

Characterization of a urea optical sensor based on polypyrrole

A new optical sensor for urea determination is presented. It is based on the enzymatic reaction with urease, which is first photoimmobilized with polyacrylamide onto a chemically polymerized polypyrrole (PPy) film. The main advantage of this sensor is that no indicator dye or pH indicator is needed, because PPy itself acts as the support and the indicator. These PPy films show an absorbance spectrum in the near IR range which is pH dependent. The variation of absorbance is thus directly related to the change of pH caused during the enzymatic reaction, which is also dependent on the urea concentration. The linear range of the sensor is from 0.06 to 1 M of urea, which is the common level of urea concentration found in blood and urine samples.     

Coulometric sensors,the application of a sensor-actuator system for long-term stability in chemical sensing

We present a new type of chemical transducer, the coulometric sensor. This sensor is in fact an integrated sensor-actuator system that is able to measure the concentration of acids and bases by means of coulometric titration. An ISFET is used as the sensor to monitor the pH changes induced by the actuator, which is a gold electrode that fits closely around the ISFET's gate area. Coulometry is an absolute method and therefore the output of the new sensor is only determined by its dimensions and is not subject to changes in offset and sensitivity of the indicator electrode. It is thus expected that the operation of the sensor will be stable for a long time, so that only a one-time calibration is needed. As a first example of this new class of chemical transducers, a carbon dioxide sensor is presented. It is shown that the stability is some orders of magnitude better than that for a ‘classical” potentiometric sensor.
