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.     

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.

Spectrophotometric determination of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) in waste water from lead styphnate primer plants

An accurate spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) in waste water from lead styphnate primer plants by use of phenoldisulphonic acid. The waste water is filtered through a sintered glass crucible and the PETN is determined in the filtrate and the residue. In the determination of PETN in the filtrate, sodium hydroxide is added and the PETN is extracted with methylene chloride (in alkaline solution, styphnate and TNT are not extracted). The methylene chloride solution is then evaporated to dryness, the residue is treated with a solution of phenoldisulphonic acid in sulphuric acid, water and ammonia are added, and the yellow colour is measured. In the determination of PETN in the residue, the PETN is dissolved in acetone, an aliquot of the acetone solution is treated with water and sodium hydroxide, the PETN is extracted with methylene chloride and the colour is developed as above. Various factors affecting the determination were investigated. The solubility of PETN in water was studied.

Vibrational-translational energy transfer n atom-polyatomic molecule collisions in thermal reaction systems

Vibrational-translational energy transfer probabilities and collisional efficiencies are calculated for atom-polyatomic molecule collisions. It is assumed that a collision complex is formed and that the total internal vibrational energy is statistically distributed among all the modes of the complex. An attractive potential is assumed and account is taken of the centrifugal barrier. Conservation of system angular momentum is imposed. Convolution of the several thermal distribution functions is carried out and completeness and detailed balance are observed. Comparison of calculated quantum statistical quantities with experiment is made for the thermal isomerization of methyl and ethyl isocyanide in the presence of heavy atomic bath gases, such as Xe or Ar, and semiquantitative agreement is found.

Preparation and characterization of pure polyacrylate polymer colloid through emulsion polymerization using a novel initiator

A series of acrylic polymer colloids were prepared via semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization of BA and MMA in water phase when OP-10 and AIBI is used to be emulsifier and initiator, respectively. FTIR spectrum identifies the formation of copolymers of P (MMA-co-BA). DSC confirms that the colloid is a kind of random copolymer and the consistency among the chain segment is fairly good. The emulsion polymerization conditions of preparing acrylic polymer colloid are optimized. Results show that the conversion rate is high and the coagulum is low and the particle size of the acrylic polymer colloids is small when the amount of AIBI is 0.75 g. The polymerization temperature is 70 °C, which is lower than the one that the emulsion polymerization is initiated with the persulfate.

A theory of the staircase voltammetry in a thin-layer cell is developed. The influence of the cell thickness and the redox reaction rate constant on the current and the peak potentials is analyzed. For moderately thick cells, the kinetic maximum is predicted. The relationship between peak currents and the square root of the scan rate is not linear and the response may entirely vanish if the redox reaction is fast, the cell is very thin and the scan rate is slow.     

Precolumn,Capillary Column,Electron Capture G-AS Chromatography For High Efficiency Trace Determination

Abstract

A method for gas chromatographic trace determination is described in which the sample solution is injected into a packed precolumn which is connected to an EC-detector. When solvent and low boiling compounds have been eluted, the precolumn is connected to the cold entry of a capillary column with another EC-detector and the trace compound is collected as a narrow band at the entry of this column. The precolumn is then reconnected to its own detector, the capillary column is heated and the trace compound is eluted and measured. Meanwhile high boiling compounds are swept out of the precolumn. When the base line of the precolumn is stable the next sample is injected and the capillary column is cooled again, and so on. In order to avoid background plateaus and ghost peaks the carrier gas must be purified, which is easily achieved with cooling traps with dry-ice and acetone.     

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.     

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.     

神华煤直接液化残渣热解特性研究

通过热重分析技术考察了神华煤直接液化残渣的热解特性。结果表明,和煤热解相比,在相同条件下残渣热解具有更大的失重率和失重速率。残渣热失重分为三个阶段,在173℃以前为残渣热解第一阶段;从173℃～510℃是残渣热解第二阶段,此阶段为残渣的主要失重阶段;510℃以后是残渣热解的第三阶段,在这个阶段残渣继续失重,此阶段的失重是由于残渣的二次分解和残渣中的矿物质分解造成的。通过比较脱油前后残渣热失重曲线发现,残渣主要失重是由于残渣中重质油、沥青烯以及前沥青烯的热解以及挥发造成的。通过脱灰残渣的热解发现,与原残渣相比,脱灰后残渣的失重量变小,矿物质的分解和残渣中有机组分的缩聚是温度高于649℃以后残渣失重的主要原因。由热解特征参数看出,脱油残渣的初始热解温度、最大失重温度以及剧烈热解终温均高于原煤,说明和原煤相比,脱油后残渣中惰性组分不易热解。与原煤和四氢呋喃脱油渣相比,残渣具有最大的失重速率,这是由于残渣中含有大量重质油、沥青烯以及前沥青烯造成的。     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
