The use of temperature to simplify formose sugar composition

Form ose reaction, the Ca(OH)₂ catalyzed condensation of HCHO to a complex mixture of sugars, does not lose its autocatalytic nature at 98°C. The induction period is 15 sec, and then, at 18% total HCHO conversion, there was a period of approximately 3 sec duration in which the reaction had produced C₆ sugars at 84.3 wt.% selectivity. Glucose amounted to 90% of those sugars, and no branched sugars were detected. Conversion was complete within 3 min. The simple nature of the product was lost at lower temperatures or higher conversions.

Catalytic incineration of n-hexane on Pt/Al2O3

The catalytic incineration of n-hexane over a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst has been studied using a fixed bed reaction. The reaction was carried out in dry air between 250 and 350 °C and at 1 atm pressure. The concentration of n-hexane was between 25 and 300 ppm. The reaction was found to be zero order in n-hexane concentration and the activation energy was found to be 21 kcal/mol. The zero order kinetics can be explained by a surface redox cycle known as Mars-van Krevelen mechanism in which the oxidation of surface Pt is the rate-controlling step.

Some comments on Prigogine's theories

Objections are raised against the theories of the Brussels group because they greatly exaggerate claims for the theory, neglect other relevant theories of themodynamics and overemphasize the role of the Poisson distribution. A necessary and sufficient condition will be given for (not necessary linear) simple birth-and-death processes to have a Poissonian stationary distribution.

Applications of thermoelectrometry to metal-ion modified polyimide films

As part of a research program to decrease the electrical resistivity of polyimide films with ionic additives a variable temperature three probe electrical resistivity measurement system has been designed and constructed. Sample temperature, electrification time, atmosphere, and measurement mode are computer controlled. As a data interpretation aid, temperature cycled analysis can be routinely performed. Surface resistivities in the range 10³–10¹⁵ ohm and volume resistivities in the range 10⁵–10¹⁸ ohm-cm are theoretically measurable under well controlled experimental conditions from room temperature to 250°. The electrical resistivity measurement system is useful for the evaluation of polymer films or films in general. Application of the system for analysis of cobalt, lithium and tin ion-modified polyimide films and some experimental considerations are presented. Correlation of the electrical measurements with differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis is demonstrated.

Zusammenfassung Als Teil eines Forschungsprogramms zur Herabsetzung des elektrischen Widerstandes von Polyimidfilmen mit ionischen Additiven wurde ein 3-Proben-Meßsystem zur Ermittlung des elektrischen Widerstandes in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur entworfen und konstruiert. Probentemperatur, Elektrisierungszeit, Atmosphäre und Meßmethoden waren computergesteuert. Als Dateninterpretationshilfe kann eine hinsichtlich der Temperatur zyklische Analyse routinemäßig ausgeführt werden. Die Oberflächenwiderstände sind im Bereich von 10³–10¹⁵ Ohm und die Volumenwiderstände im Bereich von 10⁵–10¹⁸ Ohm-cm unter gut kontrollierten experimentellen Bedingungen von Raumtemperatur bis 250° theoretisch meßbar. Das elektrische Widerstandmeßsystem ist nützlich für die Bewertung von Polymerfilmen oder Filmen im allgemeinen. Die Anwendung des Systems zur Analyse von mit Co-, Li- und Sn-Ionen modifizierten Polyimidfilmen und einige experimentelle Hinweise werden angegeben. Es wird gezeigt, daß die mit dem beschriebenen System erhaltenen Resultate mit durch DSC, thermomechanische Analyse und TG erhaltenen Werten korrelieren.

Thermal analysis of complexes of cadmium chloride picoline

The thermal decomposition of the, and- picoline complexes of cadmium were studied by means of TG-DTG-DTA. In connection with the preparation of the complex compounds, it was established that the ligand number was influenced by the reaction medium. The thermal decomposition took place stepwise, and intermediates were formed which could be isolated with a derivatograph by the freezing-in method. The structures and properties of these previously unknown compounds were investigated by far-IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.

Physical interpretation of the boundary conditions for isothermal hyperbolic reactors

A new mathematical model is proposed for one-phase isothermal chemical reactors, which eliminates a physical inconvenience caused by conventional equations. Instead of the usual parabolic equations a hyperbolic system of first-order partial differential equations is used. The boundary conditions and their physical meaning are treated for this type of reactor model.

On these samples extensive measurements were undertaken, comprising X-ray diffraction, IR absorption spectra and the temperature-dependence of DC-electric conductivity.The phase constitution, % crystallinity, IR band assignment, activation energies for conduction and energy gap were evaluated as a function of caustic mercerization. The results obtained were correlated and discussed in detail, leading to valuable information of use in the cotton fabric strip industries.

Differential scanning calorimetry of chloroquine sulphate exposed to sun,heat and ultraviolet radiation

Chloroquine sulphate, like the phosphate, is an antimalarial formulation widely used in the tropics. The stability of such formulations is therefore of interest in the combat against malaria. A DSC study has been made of the effects of exposure to the sun, heat and UV radiation on the stability of chloroquine sulphate, similarly as performed earlier for chloroquine phosphate. When freshly recrystallized from a water-acetone mixture, chloroquine sulphate exhibits two endothermic peaks, at 169.4° and 204.7°, for the expulsion of crystal water (one molecule) and for the melting process, respectively. The exposure of chloroquine sulphate to the sun, heat and UV radiation leads to splitting of the peak for melting.

Zusammenfassung Chloroquine-Sulfat ist ebenso wie das entsprechende Phosphatderivat ein in den Tropen weitverbreitet angewandtes Antimalaria-Präparat. Die Stabilität dieses Präparates hat damit Bedeutung für die Malariabekämpfung. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Erweiterung einer Untersuchung über den Effekt der Einwirkung.von Sonne, Hitze und UV-Strahlen auf die Stabilität von Chloroquine-Phosphat auf Chloroquine-Sulfat. Aus Wasser-Aceton-Mischungen frisch kristallisiertes Chloroquine-Sulfat zeigt zwei endotherme Peaks bei 169,4 und 204,7 °C, die durch Abgabe von Kristallwasser (ein Molekül) bzw. durch den Schmelzvorgang bedingt sind. Wird Chloroquine-Sulfat der Sonne, Wärme oder UV-Licht ausgesetzt, so wird der dem Schmelzvorgang zuzuscheibende Peak aufgespalten.
