项目驱动型教学模式在分析检测技术中的应用

In the past practical training courses, the courses were separated from the industry. Professional teachers in the school had no industry background, and industrial instructors lacked the ability of curriculum design. Focusing on these problems, as well as the demand for applied talents, new practical training courses are urgently needed. Taking the practical training course of "analytical detection technique" as an example, the paper explores the application of project-driven teaching model to realize the transformation from knowledge paradigm to ability paradigm. Finally, it will cultivate applied talents to meet the needs of social developments and industry demands.     

Boerhaave to Black: the Evolution of Chemistry Teaching

Abstract

Hermann Boerhaave (1668–1738) at Leiden and Joseph Black (1728–1799) at Edinburgh were known in the eighteenth-century medical world as inspirational and transforming teachers of chemistry. A critical examination of the content of their courses indicates how the idea and uses of chemistry changed through that century. Boerhaave's chemistry was closely allied to the need for training doctors in the materia medica, while for Black, chemistry had become more detached from medicine and could be of industrial relevance and, thereby, of economic benefit. Most of those attending his lectures would not end up as physicians. Both Black and Boerhaave had strongly held views of their pedagogical responsibilities, and neither had aspirations to develop research schools: that idea had to wait until later.     

新手熟手初中化学教师课堂教学行为特征的比较研究*——以“酸和碱”单元教学为例

通过对新手化学教师和熟手化学教师各4节“酸和碱”单元常态课堂中教师使用教学行为链、教学行为对在时间和频次等方面的特征进行对比分析发现,在教学行为链上,新、熟手化学教师都会在较高水平的教学行为链上花费更多的时间,熟手化学教师高水平教学行为链在频次上的占比要优于新手化学教师,在不同教学行为链时间安排上的合理性要更高一些;在教学行为对上,新、熟手化学教师都多以“问”和“讲”,学生多以“答”的方式来展开课堂活动,熟手化学教师在每一次“动”和“思”上所用时间要明显高于新手化学教师,学生参与课堂的水平上,熟手化学教师要优于新手化学教师。得出如下启示:与熟手化学教师相比,新手化学教师应有效地组织和安排课堂教学行为,注重对“酸和碱”学科内容本身及其教学的驾驭。无论是熟手还是新手化学教师均应进一步给予学生课堂参与的机会。     

Determination of alkylphenol ethoxylates in industrial and environmental samples

Degradation products of nonionic surfactants, which are used in large quantities in several industrial applications, have been shown to elicit estrogenic effects in the laboratory as well as in the environment. This has prompted the monitoring of such products, in particular the alkylphenols (AP) and alkylphenol ethoxylates (APE), in the environment. This study presents a relatively simple method for the determination of AP and APE in industrial and environmental samples by HPLC and GC-MS. It discusses some of the inherent analytical issues concomitant with the determination of the complicated mixtures these analytes are composed of. The method was applied to marine and estuarine sediments as well as wastewater and sewage sludge samples taken from industrial plants. In all marine and estuarine samples APE were found with a predominance of oligomers containing 1–3 ethoxylate units.     

Die Entstehung der chemischen Elemente

By numerous discoveries in nuclear physics and by observations with telescopes and space crafts, more knowledge about the universe have been achieved in the past decades, than ever before. For chemistry the question is of relevance, how the chemical elements have been formed and are still forming. Here we are dealing with their formation in the course of the history of our universe. In the chemist's language the terms such as mass defect, nuclear binding energy, element burning, and the radioactive decay will be explained. This knowledge is required for the subsequent article about energy production by industrial and natural nuclear‐ or fission‐reactors. It is intended to address students, chemists, and teachers with this article to compensate shortcomings in chemistry textbooks.     

Analysis and anaerobic degradation of wool scouring and olive oil mill wastewaters

Summary Two types of fatty industrial wastewaters, wool scouring effluents (WSE) and olive oil mill effluents (OME) were analysed (lipids, phenols and COD), and were then treated anaerobically in laboratory-scale fixed bed filters. Approximately 50% of the organic compounds in both wastewaters was degraded at two days of hydraulic residence time. A higher biogas production was obtained when using OME rather than WSE. This experimental study confirmed that anaerobic digestion can be considered as a roughing treatment in a multi-step process for industrial fatty wastewaters.     

化学师范生PCK的发展研究*——基于化学教学论课程

Philosophy of chemistry in university chemical education: The case of models and modelling

If chemistry is to be taught successfully, teachers must have a good subject matter knowledge (SK) of the ideas with which they are dealing, the nature of this falling within the orbit of philosophy of chemistry. They must also have a good pedagogic content knowledge (PCK), the ability to communicate SK to students, the nature of this falling within the philosophy and psychology of chemical education. Taking the case of models and modelling, important themes in the philosophy of chemistry, an interview-based study was conducted into the SK and PCK of a sample of teachers in Brazil. This paper focuses on the results of the university chemistry teacher sub-sample in that enquiry, analyses their SK and PCK, and speculates on the implications of this for the education of school teachers. Finally, it suggests approaches to the professional development of university chemistry teachers that place an emphasis on the philosophy of chemistry. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Detecting trace amounts of water in hydrocarbon matrices with infrared fiberoptic evanescent field sensors

Water is a common contaminant in a variety of industrial oils and petroleum products. Thus, the detection of water in these products is of substantial relevance. Hence, this study focuses on quantifying trace amounts of water in hydrocarbons using hexane as a model system for industrial oils and petroleum matrices via mid-infrared (MIR) evanescent field absorption spectroscopy. A silver halide fiberoptic waveguide was used to interrogate in situ water-in-hexane emulsions. Either unmodified fibers or waveguides surface-modified with polyacrylic acid layers were used. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) of water in hexane utilizing tin-crosslinked polyacrylic acid modified fibers were 76 and 170 ppm, respectively. Consequently, the IR absorption signature of water in hexane is detectable at concentrations as low as 10 ppm. The proposed fiberoptic sensing strategy requires a single measurement only, requires no sample preparation, and thus has potential for the direct in situ detection and monitoring of water in industrial oils and petroleum products.     

Improvement in industrial re-chromatography (recycling) procedure in solvent gradient bio-separation processes

Re-chromatography or recycling impure products obtained from the batch runs of solvent gradient chromatography is commonly practiced in industry to improve product yield. However, as the re-chromatography steps are carried out at the expense of running fresh batches, any improvement in the yield comes as a trade-off with the production time, and hence productivity. In recent studies, on the other hand, it has been suggested that with a properly designed recycling process one can not only improve the yield, but the productivity as well. That study, however, considered a steady-state recycling process, a technology yet to be implemented with bio-chromatographic systems. In the present paper we are reporting a study made on non-steady-state recycling or re-chromatography, as it is typically done in industrial practice. The results point out an amendment to the standard way of designing solvent gradients, which is necessary to improve both the yield and the productivity of an industrial run with recycle. Although the test case used here was the separation of an industrial peptide, Calcitonin, in a reversed-phase column, the general methodology of gradient manipulation, needless to say, is also valid for other solvent gradient processes like ion-exchange, HIC, etc.     

Effect of industrial water components on thermal stability of nitrocellulose

In order to prevent the spontaneous ignition of nitrocellulose (NC), NC is stabilized by washing with industrial water in its synthesis process. However, there is a possibility that the components in industrial water contribute to the thermal stability of NC. In this way, the purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of industrial water components on the thermal stability of NC. In experiments, a heat flux calorimeter was used to observe the thermal behavior of NC with the residue of vaporized industrial water. The induction period of heat release of NC with 2-mass% residues was approximately 2–5 h shorter than that of NC alone whose induction period was observed at 7 h. Those results indicate that the residue destabilized NC. On the other hand, when the additive amount of the residue was increased, the induction period gradually increased as well. Based upon these results, we assume that inorganic salts contributing to stabilization and destabilization competitively coexist in the industrial water components. The same thermal analysis was performed on NC with CaCO₃, CaSO₄, CaCl, ZnSO₄, NaCl, and CuCl. Those salts are predicted to exist in the industrial water. In the results, the induction period of NC with 2-mass% CaCO₃ was approximately 15-h longer than that of NC alone, while the induction period with the inorganic salts CaSO₄, CaCl, ZnSO₄, NaCl, and CuCl was 4–5-h shorter. Therefore, when the industrial water components accumulate in NC, the destabilization by inorganic salts such as CaSO₄, CaCl, ZnSO₄, NaCl, and CuCl and the stabilization by compounds such as CaCO₃ are thought to countervail against each other.

Fast racemisation and slow epimerisation of laterally lithiated amides: stereochemical evidence for the mechanism of inversion of amide-substituted benzyllithiums

Tertiary 1-naphthamides racemise much more slowly than their laterally lithiated derivatives, and the relative rates of racemisation and epimerisation of these derivatives indicate that the lithium-bearing stereogenic centre inverts via a "conducted tour" mechanism, in which the lithium cation is delivered from one face to the other by coordination to the rotating amide group.     

Development and validation of a turbidimetry method for hydrogen sulphide evaluation in effluents of phosphoric acid production unit

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simple, new and efficient method for the analysis of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) released from the effluents of phosphoric acid production units. H₂S sampling was performed by absorption of the industrial gas into a cadmium acetate absorbing solution. The formed cadmium sulphide (CdS), as a result of a chemical reaction, was analysed by turbidimetry. A methodical validation study of the proposed method was performed according to the requirements of ISO 17025 standards. The proposed method was demonstrated to be precise, linear and accurate over a concentration range of 6.91–92.16 mg/l. Detection and quantification limits were equal to 5.09 mg/l and 6.91 mg/l, respectively. Sample analysis had to be performed within 48 h of the sampling step. The turbidimetry method was applied successfully to the industrial gaseous effluents and can be considered as an economical alternative to the iodometric method.     

Sulfate decomposition by bacterial leaching

Sulfate disposal is the main problem of many industrial effluents, such as excess sulfuric acid, gypsum, coal desulfurization byproducts, acid-mine waters, and general metallurgical effluents. It has been established that sulfate present in wastes can be converted to elemental sulfur by bacterial mutualism. This study presents the results of an investigation of the industrial feasibility of utilizing a biological system capable of converting hydrous calcium sulfate (gypsum) to elemental sulfur. Gypsum, which was used in this study, is a byproduct of the fertilizer industry. The biological system is referred to as a bacterial mutualism, and involvesDesulfovibrio desulfuricans for sulfate conversion andChlorobium thiosulfatophilum for hydrogen sulfide conversion. Bacterial mutualism and utilization of sulfate were investigated by means of a two-stage anaerobic system. In the first stage, a gas purge system was used for sulfate conversion to sulfide, and it was found that maximum conversion is 34%. In the second stage, a static culture system was used for sulfide conversion to sulfur with a conversion of 92%.     

Chain Extension and Foaming of Recycled PET in Extrusion Equipment

In this work industrial scraps of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were used for the production of foamed sheets. The process was performed by making use of a chemical blowing agent (CBA) in the extrusion process. Due to the low intrinsic viscosity of the recycled PET (IV=0.48dl/g), a chain extender was also used in order to increase the molecular weight of the polymer matrix. Pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and Hydrocerol CT 534 were chosen as chain extender and CBA, respectively. The reactive extrusion and foaming were performed in a two step process, analyzing the feasibility regarding an eventual use in an industrial context. Rheological characterization was carried out on PET samples previously treated with PMDA, as well as the morphological study was performed to define the cellular structure of the foams produced. Moreover, in order to correlate the working conditions in the reactive and the foaming processes with the final morphology of the foams, a mathematical modelling of the foaming process was applied.     

Trimethylamine as a probe molecule to differentiate acid sites in Y-FAU zeolite: FTIR study

In heterogeneous catalysis acidity has a very important influence on activity and selectivity: correct determination of acidic properties is a base to improve industrial processes. The aim of this work was to study trimethylamine (TMA) as a probe molecule able to distinguish between the different Br?nsted acid sites in zeolitic frameworks. Our work mainly focused on faujasite-type zeolites because the HY zeolite is one of the most used acidic catalysts in industrial processes. In this paper, typical IR bands assigned to TMA-protonated species (formed in supercages) are detected in the HY zeolite. TMA interacting by hydrogen bonding with the acid sites located in the sodalite units is also observed. The wavenumbers of some typical IR bands assigned to TMA-protonated species appear to depend on the acidic strength, and a complementary study with ZSM-5 and X-FAU samples confirms this proposition.     

A fiber optic sensor with a metal organic framework as a sensing material for trace levels of water in industrial gases

Industrial gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and helium are easily contaminated with water during production, transfer and use, because there is a high volume fraction of water in the atmosphere (approximately 1.2% estimated with the average annual atmospheric temperature and relative humidity). Even trace water (<1 parts per million by volume (ppmv) of H₂O, dew point < −76 °C) in the industrial gases can cause quality problems in the process such as production of semiconductors. Therefore, it is important to monitor and to control trace water levels in industrial gases at each supplying step, and especially during their use. In the present study, a fiber optic gas sensor was investigated for monitoring trace water levels in industrial gases. The sensor consists of a film containing a metal organic framework (MOF). MOFs are made of metals coordinated to organic ligands, and have mesoscale pores that adsorb gas molecules. When the MOF, copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC), was used as a sensing material, we investigated the color of Cu-BTC with water adsorption changed both in depth and tone. Cu-BTC crystals appeared deep blue in dry gases, and then changed to light blue in wet gases. An optical gas sensor with the Cu-BTC film was developed using a light emitting diode as the light source and a photodiode as the light intensity detector. The sensor showed a reversible response to trace water, did not require heating to remove the adsorbed water molecules. The sample gas flow rate did not affect the sensitivity. The obtained limit of detection was 40 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). The response time for sample gas containing 2.5 ppmvH₂O was 23 s. The standard deviation obtained for daily analysis of 1.0 ppmvH₂O standard gas over 20 days was 9%. Furthermore, the type of industrial gas did not affect the sensitivity. These properties mean the sensor will be applicable to trace water detection in various industrial gases.
