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.

Reaction of ammonium sulphate with aluminium oxide

The reaction between ammonium sulphate with aluminium oxide was studied. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis that three intermediate reaction products, (NH₄)₃Al(SO₄)₃, NH₄Al(SO₄)₂ and Al₂(SO₄)₃, are formed. The thermal decompositions of these three compounds were carried out. It has been shown that the same rate law is valid for them. The activation energies for (NH₄)₃Al(SO₄)₃, NH₄Al(SO₄)₂ and Al₂(SO₄)₃ are 95.9, 177.9 and 291.0 kj/mol, respectively.

Certified reference materials (CRM 408 and 409) for quality control of main components (ammonium, calcium, hydronium, magnesium, nitrate, potassium, sodium and sulphate) in simulated rain water

Analyses of rainwater are routinely performed by a number of organisations to monitor the contribution from rainwater to the component occurrences in the environment and the acidification of the environment. To control the quality of such determinations, the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) has organised a certification campaign to produce two simulated rainwater reference materials (CRM 408, low mineral content and CRM 409, high mineral content). The materials were carefully prepared (addition of pro analysis and supra pure reagents with the mentioned elements to silica-free deionised water) and its homogeneity and long-term stability were verified. The materials were certified for their contents of ammonium (106 mol/kg) (CRM 409), calcium (7.68 and 15.5 mol/kg), chloride (67.3 and 113 mol/kg), hydronium (16.6 and 48.0 mol/kg), magnesium (6.14 and 12.3 mol/kg), nitrate (20.1 and 78.1 mol/kg), potassium (4.25 mol/kg) (CRM 409), sodium (42.0 and 82.9 mol/kg) and sulphate (10.5 and 53.2 mol/kg). Indicative values (not certified) are given for ammonium and potassium in CRM 408. This paper presents the certification work performed, as well as the analytical work for the certification of the contents of relevant species.

Studies of Cu?Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu–Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

Application of DTA and TG to studies of the CaCO3-CaF2 phase diagram

A new method (based on DTA and TG) for the determination of the eutectic composition is proposed for systems in which one of the components is unstable in the vicinity of the eutectic melting temperature. The eutectic composition established by means of this method for the CaCO₃-CaF₂ system is in very good agreement with the results obtained in a classical way.

The thermal decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae kimberlite pipe,Lesotho, Southern Africa

The endothermic decomposition of thaumasite from Mothae which has been investigated by DTA and TG shows a peak temperature of 138–203°, and reaction orders of 0.45–1.00, depending on the heating rate employed. The activation energy of the reaction was found to be about 19 kcal/mole; the enthalpy is 246 cal/g.The decomposition seems to be divided into one reaction withn=0.90, immediately followed by one withn=1.59. The first reaction is attributed to the loss of H₂O, the second one to the (partial) release of OH and CO₂.

Die Aktivierungsenergie der Reaktion ergab sich zu 19 Kcal/Mol, die Enthalpie zu 246 cal/g.Die Zersetzung scheint in eine Reaktion vonn=0.90 und eine sofort darauffolgende vonn=1.59 geteilt zu sein. Die erste Reaktion wird dem Verlust von H₂O, die zweite der (teilweisen) Freisetzung von OH und CO₂ zugeschrieben.

Thermogravimetry of copper and copper oxides (Cu2O-CuO)

The thermogravimetry of mixtures of metallic copper and copper oxides was studied. The experiments were performed by heating the samples in air to 700–800° to transform all the components to copper(II) oxide, and continuing the heating in nitrogen to 1050–1100° when the dissociation of copper(II) oxide to copper(I) oxide is complete. The identification of the components and their quantitative determination were carried out by determining the shape, size, and ratio of the segments of the curves obtained during the heating. The method can be used for quantitative analysis of mixtures of copper and/or copper oxides.

Die Identifizierung der Komponenten und ihre quantitative Bestimmung erfolgten durch die Form, Größe und die Verhältnisse der verschiedenen Abschnitte der erhaltenen Kurven. Diese Methode ist zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Gemischen aus Kupfer und Kupferoxid sowie von Kupferoxiden geeignet.
