Am(III) adsorption on oxides of aluminium and silicon: effects of humic substances,pH, and ionic strength

The adsorption of Am(III) (total concentration 10(-9) mol/l) on alumina, silica, and hematite was studied by a batch technique. The effects of pH, ionic strength, and humic substances on the adsorption of Am(III) on alumina and silica were investigated, and the adsorption isotherms of Am(III) on alumina and silica at different pH values were determined. It was found that compared with the adsorption of Am(III) on alumina, the adsorbability of silica on the basis of mass is less, the relative adsorption rate on silica is slower, the sensitivity of adsorption on silica to ionic strength is less, the dependence of adsorption on silica on pH is gentler, and consequently that the adsorption characteristics of Am(III) on alumina and silica are distinctly different. The negative effect of fulvic acid on the adsorption on silica and the positive effect of humic acid on the adsorption on alumina were found. In contrast to the Am(III) adsorption on alumina and silica, a tremendously high adsorbability of Am(III) on hematite was found. The sequence of adsorbabilities of Am(III) on the basis of mass is Fe2O3 > Al2O3 > SiO2.     

环取代基对金属化聚苯胺衍生物膜修饰电极性能的影响

通过比较聚2，5－二甲氧基苯胺（PDMAn）、聚邻甲基苯胺（POT）和聚间氯苯胺（PmClAn）膜修饰电极的氧化还原电位、沉积在这3种聚合物上的铂微粒的表面形态与晶面取向以及异丙醇在分散Pt微粒的聚苯胺膜修饰电极上的氧化行为，从电子效应和立体效应探讨了聚合物电化学性质与环取代基的关系以及不同聚合基质对Pt沉积机理和有催化性能的影响,结果表明，在硫酸溶液中PDMAn膜修饰电极的氧化还原电位最负、POT次之、PmClAn最正，Pt在PDMAn和POT膜上的电沉积机理与在PmClAn膜上的不同，聚合物膜上沉积的Pt微粒呈现（200)晶面择优取向，其中POT膜上择优取向度最大，PDMAn次之，Pm-ClAn最小，异丙醇在金属化聚合物膜电极上的氧化电位取决于聚苯胺的本质，在POT膜修饰电极上异丙醇的电氧化主要发生在POT的活性电位区，而在PDMAn与PmClAn膜上的电氧化则主要发生在Pt上的氧化电位区，说明聚合物膜不仅作为Pt微粒的分散介质，而且本身有产生催化作用。

Determination of complex reaction mechanisms. Analysis of chemical, biological and genetic networks

We present several methods of determining, not guessing, complex chemical reaction mechanisms and their functions. One method is based on the theory of correlation functions of measured time series of concentrations of chemical species; another is on measurements of temporal responses of concentrations to various perturbations of arbitrary magnitude; a third deals with the analysis of oscillatory systems; a fourth is on the use of genetic algorithms to determine functions of chemical reaction networks. All methods are applicable to chemical, biochemical, and biological reaction systems and to genetic networks and systems biology. The methods depend on the design of appropriate experiments on the whole system and corresponding theories for interpretation that lead to information on the causal chemical connectivity of species, on reaction pathways, on reaction mechanisms, on control centers in the system, and on functions of the system. The first three methods require no assumption of a model or hypothesis, nor extensive calculations, unlike the interpretation of measurements made on a gene network at only one time.     

Thermische und spektroskopische Untersuchungen zur Wassersorption an Alkalihalogeniden

Investigations on the extension of the diffuse reflectance spectroscopy by means of the dilution method of KORTÜM show the decisive influence of water sorption on the dilution substances, particularly on their absolute reflectance. Water sorption is investigated on alkali halides (NaCl and LiF) as dilution substances by gravimetric, thermal desorption and reflectance methods. Sorption gravimetry gives data on the quantities of adsorbed substances and the time function of adsorption processes, thermal desorption on chemical binding of adsorbed molecules and reflectance spektroscopy on the molar absorptivity of adsorbed water molecules.     

Growth and characterization of pyrene crystals on carbon nanofibers

Pyrene crystals were grown on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by dispersing pyrene polycrystals and CNFs in water during ultrasonic irradiation, and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and spectroscopy. The XRD measurements indicated that the orientation and size of the pyrene crystals on the CNF aggregates were different from that of the added pyrene polycrystals. Based on the spectroscopic properties of the pyrene crystals on the CNFs, the pyrene crystals on the CNF aggregates and on the individual CNFs were determined to be polycrystals and single crystals, respectively. These results indicate that pyrene crystals are produced on the CNFs by recrystallization of the added pyrene polycrystals and their crystal states depend on the aggregation state of the CNFs.     

Dewetting of liquids on ceramic surfaces at high temperatures.

The influence of surface structure and chemistry on high-temperature dewetting of silicate liquids on ceramic surfaces has been investigated. Model systems based on well-defined crystallography and known chemistry have been used to illustrate the effect of surface roughness and chemistry on the dewetting process. Reconstructed ceramic surfaces provide ideal substrates to study effects of surface roughness. It has been shown that the morphology of dewet droplets depend on the length scale and the crystallography of the facets on the surface. Complex pattern formation due to solute redistribution during dewetting is illustrated in the case of SiO2 dewetting on (001) rutile substrates. The role of kinetics on the dewetting process has also been clarified.

Anionic Graft Copolymers. III. Hydrogenation of Polydienes Grafted with Vinylaromatics

A new method is described to prepare graft copolymers of polystyrene and polyvinylcyclohexane on polyethylene and poly (ethylene, butene-1). Hydrogenation of the butadiene moieties of graft copolymers of polystyrene on poly-1, 4-butadiene and high vinyl polybutadiene forms graft copolymers of polystyrene on polyethylene and on poly (ethylene, butene-1). Graft copolymers of polyvinylcyclohexane on polyethylene and on poly (ethylene, butene-1) are prepared by completely hydrogenating graft copolymers of polystyrene on poly-1, 4-butadiene and on high vinyl polybutadiene. The physical properties of these polymer systems depend on composition and graft level, resulting in either tough polymers or elastomers.

Recent progress in experiments for sessile droplet wetting on structured surfaces

Wetting of a sessile droplet on structured or patterned surface can be found in a broad range of applications. The researchers have been promoted to keep working on the topic. The review is on the basis of the recent experimental advances on the sessile droplet wetting on the hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or combined hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces under isothermal conditions, and on heating or cooling substrates having nonisothermal conditions. More attention has been paid on the wetting configuration between the sessile droplet and the structured substrate; the research gap has been discussed on identifying the three-phase line shape. Further, the three-dimensional measurement for the sessile droplets on the patterned surfaces with focusing more on the contact line of sessile droplets might reveal new physical insights. This review targets at building a holistic overview on the sessile droplet wetting behaviors on the structured substrate in the past 2 years.     

Influence of coadsorbates on the NO dissociation on a rhodium(311) surface.

Density functional theory (DFT) studies were performed to investigate the influence of coadsorbates on the nitrogen oxide dissociation on the vicinal rhodium(311) surface. This study amplifies prior studies on the dissociation of oxygen and nitrogen oxide on the (111) facet of rhodium. The influence of coadsorbates on the kinetic parameters and thermochemistry of the NO dissociation on Rh311 was studied. In addition, the activation energy and thermochemistry of this reaction were determined as a function of oxygen preoccupation/initial coverage. Steric and electronic effects and their influence on the dissociation reaction were examined. The results are discussed in the face of an NOx dissociation catalyst system proposed by Nakatsuji.     

Activity of an enzyme immobilized on polyelectrolyte multilayers

The immobilization of α-chymotrypsin on the surface of boron silicate glass microspheres is conducted via the technique of multilayer adsorption of polyelectrolytes. It is shown that the enzyme is adsorbed on both positively and negatively charged surfaces and its activity is partially preserved relative to that in solution. The activity of the enzyme depends on the number of polyectrolyte layers preliminarily adsorbed on glass microspheres and on the charge of the surface. The activity of α-chymotrypsin adsorbed on the negatively charged surface is four times higher than the activity of this enzyme adsorbed on a positively charged surface.     

Ultradispersed diamond as a new carbon support for hydrodechlorination catalysts

The properties of palladium and nickel catalysts supported on ultradispersed diamond (UDD) were studied in the vapor-phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) reaction of chlorobenzene and the multiphase HDC of polychlorobenzenes. The catalysts on UDD exhibited a number of advantages: the vapor-phase HDC of chlorobenzene on Ni/UDD occurred at lower temperatures, and the multiphase HDC of chlorobenzene, 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, and 2,4,8-trichlorodibenzofuran on Pd/UDD occurred more rapidly than that on catalysts supported on activated carbon. The structure of the catalysts and the electronic states of the active components were studied using IR spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, and adsorption techniques. It was found that the properties of the catalysts depend on the electronic state of palladium, which depends on its concentration in the sample; the structural properties, which are responsible for the accessibility of the active surface to adsorption; and the presence of other metal impurities.     

Resolution prediction and optimization of temperature programme in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

A model is developed for predicting the resolution of interested component pair and calculating the optimum temperature programming condition in the comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC). Based on at least three isothermal runs, retention times and the peak widths at half-height on both dimensions are predicted for any kind of linear temperature-programmed run on the first dimension and isothermal runs on the second dimension. The calculation of the optimum temperature programming condition is based on the prediction of the resolution of "difficult-to-separate components" in a given mixture. The resolution of all the neighboring peaks on the first dimension is obtained by the predicted retention time and peak width on the first dimension, the resolution on the second dimension is calculated only for the adjacent components with un-enough resolution on the first dimension and eluted within a same modulation period on the second dimension. The optimum temperature programming condition is acquired when the resolutions of all components of interest by GC x GC separation meet the analytical requirement and the analysis time is the shortest. The validity of the model has been proven by using it to predict and optimize GC x GC temperature programming condition of an alkylpyridine mixture.     

不同取代基的噻碳菁和吲哚碳菁染料对其在溴化银微晶上吸附能力及形成J-聚集体尺寸分布的影响

本文研究了5-位不同取代基的噻碳菁和吲哚碳菁染料对其在立方型颗粒和T-颗粒溴化银微晶上吸附能力的影响,并采用ACFEM(Analytical Color Fluore scence Electron Microscopy)研究了上述结构染料对其吸附在溴化银微晶所形成的J-聚集体尺寸分布的影响。实验结果表明,对吲哚碳菁染料来说,立方体溴化银微晶表面的吸附能力较T-颗粒溴化银微晶表面的吸附能力强;但对噻碳菁染料来说则相反,它们在T-颗粒溴化银微晶表面的吸附能力较立方体溴化银微晶表面的吸附能力强。另外,对5-位不同取代基的噻碳菁染料而言,无论是在立方型颗粒或T-颗粒溴化银微晶上的吸附能力来说,含取代基(无论4-取代基是吸电子型还是推电子型)的噻碳菁染料较未取代的噻碳菁染料强;而5-位取代基是吸电子型的噻碳菁染料更有利于其吸附在T-颗粒溴化银微晶表面。此外,本文还进一步证明了溴化银微晶表面上染料J-聚集体的生长过程是符合奥斯瓦尔特成熟过程的。吲哚碳菁染料在T-颗粒溴化银微晶上形成的J-聚集体的平均尺寸明显大于在立方体溴化银微晶上形成的J-聚集体的平均尺寸。吸附在立方体溴化银微晶上的5-不同取代基的噻碳菁染料对其形成J-聚集体尺寸分布的影响的研究结果表明,含取代基(-CH₃,-Ph,-Cl)的噻碳菁染料形成的J-聚集体的尺寸分布几乎相同,但与未取代的噻碳菁染料形成的J-聚集体的尺寸分布明显不同;5-位含取代基的噻碳菁染料形成的J-聚集体平均尺寸大于未取代的噻碳菁染料的。     

Surface structural and chemical characterization of Pt/Ru composite electrodes: a combined study by XPS, STM and IR spectroscopy

Electrochemical Ru deposits on Pt(111) surfaces are investigated by STM; the images of the Ru-modified surfaces show islands of monoatomic height and between 2–5 nm in diameter. The density of islands on the surface depends on the Ru deposition potential (observed by STM and XRSD) and the cyclic voltammograms indicate an increasing Ru coverage for lower deposition potentials. The Ru surface coverage is determined by ex-situ XPS measurements and a linear dependence of the Ru coverage on the deposition potential is demonstrated. IR spectra of a monolayer of adsorbed CO on the Ru-modified Pt(111) surfaces show distinct bands for CO adsorbed on Pt and on Ru. For the integrated band intensity of the CO/Ru vibration a linear dependence on deposition potential is found indicating that lateral dipole interactions between CO adsorbed on Pt and Ru are unimportant and that the CO coverage on the Ru islands is constant for the Ru coverages investigated. The possibility of using adsorbate vibrational bands for the determination of the coverage of deposits is discussed.

Rh-promoted methanol decomposition on cerium oxide thin films

Methanol adsorption and reaction have been studied on Rh-deposited cerium oxide thin films under UHV conditions using temperature-programmed desorption and synchrotron soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methanol behavior was examined as a function of the Ce oxidation state, methanol exposure, and Rh particle size and coverage. When Rh nanoparticles were deposited on the ceria films, methanol decomposed on Rh to CO and H below 200 K. H atoms recombined and desorbed between 200 and 300 K. CO evolved from Rh deposited on fully oxidized ceria between 400 and 500 K. However, on reduced ceria films, the CO on Rh further decomposed to atomic C. Methanol adsorbed on the ceria films deprotonated to form methoxy as the only intermediate on the surface. This methoxy decomposed and desorbed as CO and H2 at higher temperatures regardless of the ceria oxidation state. Compared with the methanol reaction on Rh-free ceria thin films, formaldehyde formation from methoxy was completely suppressed after Rh deposition. Our results indicate that Rh can promote the decomposition of methoxy adsorbed on the ceria and that decomposition of methoxy intermediates occurred at the metal/oxide interfaces. On the other hand, the reduced ceria can promote total methanol decomposition on Rh.     

咪唑啉酰胺在电偶电极表面的吸附行为

采用原子力显微镜技术研究了有机阳离子缓蚀剂(咪唑啉酰胺)在电偶电极表面的吸附行为, 并探讨了其腐蚀抑制机理. 结果表明, 金属表面的过剩电荷较大地影响缓蚀剂分子的吸附行为. 在1%的NaCl溶液中, 碳钢电极表面带有过剩的负电荷；不锈钢电极表面带有过剩的正电荷；碳钢电极和不锈钢电极耦合后, 其表面分别带有过剩的正电荷和负电荷. 在耦合前阳离子缓蚀剂分子仅吸附在碳钢表面, 耦合后缓蚀剂分子在偶对的阴极(不锈钢)和阳极(碳钢)表面均有吸附, 但缓蚀剂分子在碳钢表面的吸附强度和覆盖度较之耦合前降低, 缓蚀剂的腐蚀抑制能力减弱.     

Influence of coadsorbed hydrogen on ethylene adsorption and reaction on a (radical3 x radical3)R30 degrees-Sn/Pt(111) surface alloy

The effect of surface-bound hydrogen adatoms on adsorption, desorption, and reaction of ethylene (CH(2)=CH(2)) on a (radical3 x radical3)R30 degrees-Sn/Pt(111) surface alloy with theta(Sn) = 0.33 was investigated by using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Preadsorbed H decreased the saturation coverage of chemisorbed ethylene and less H was required to completely block ethylene chemisorption on this alloy than that on Pt(111). This is also the first report of extensive H site-blocking of ethylene chemisorption on Pt(111). Preadsorbed H also decreased the desorption activation energy of ethylene on the alloy surface. The reaction chemistry of ethylene on this Sn/Pt(111) alloy is dramatically different than on the Pt(111) surface: the H-addition reaction channel taking ethylene to ethane on Pt(111) is totally inhibited on the alloy. This is important information for advancing understanding of the surface chemistry involved in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysis.
