DTA of water-salt glasses

DTA investigations of glasses in the system Al₂(SO₄)₃-H₂O/55–65 mass% Al₂(SO₄)₃ revealed effects at the glass transformation (T _g), crystallization and melting temperature. During storage at ambient temperature,T _g increased, probably due to an annealing process; the increase was the least at the stability maximum for the glasses, at 61–63% Al₂(SO₄)₃.

Equilibrium studies on Schiff base complexes of copper(II) and nickel(II): Ligand substitution and formation of mixed ligand complexes

Summary Vis spectrophotometry has been used to study various ligand substitution equilibria (1) and (2) involving four-coordinate copper(II) and nickel(II) his chelate complexes in methanol, propan-2-ol and toluene. MA₂ + HB MAB+HA, K₁ (1) MAB + HB MB₂ + HA, K₂ (2) The Schiff base ligands, HA and HB, which are monobasic and bidentate, represent salicylaldimine type N,O-ligands ( HSA=NR) (1) or pyrrole-2-aldimine type N,N-ligands ( HPA=NR) (2) with different branching at the - or (3-carbon of the organic group R. For both types of ligand the relative thermodynamic stability of their copper and nickel complexes is governed mainly by the steric demands of R, which determine the degree of tetrahedral distortion. The order of stability as given by = K₁ K₂ is: t-Bu < neo-Pent < i-Pr < i-Bu < Et < n-Pr. The K₁/K₂ ratio is strongly solvent dependent in the sense that the mixed ligand species MAB is stabilised in toluene relative to methanol. Such a solvent effect is not observed for . The MAB complexes could not be isolated. The vis spectrum of the mixed ligand species Ni(SA=NiPr, SA=NEt) was calculated by computer fitting of the experimental data.     

Superionic conductivity in (BEDT-TTF)AgXiY

We have synthesized the organic conductor (BEDT-TTF)Ag_XI_Y (X 1.8 and Y 2.9). This compound has, in addition to high electronic conductivity (_{300 k} 5–10 ^–1 · cm^–1), significant ionic conductivity connected with the motion of silver ions. The value of this ionic conductivity at room temperature is 10^{–3 –1} · cm^–1. The activation energy for diffusion of Ag ions is equal to 0.2 eV.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 2, pp. 247–249, March–April, 1989.

Comparative kinetic and thermodynamic study on the chlorination of V2O5 with CCl4, COCl2 and Cl2

The chlorination kinetics of pure vanadia was studied via isothermal thermogravimetric measurements, with CCl₄, CoCl₂ and Cl₂ as chlorinating agents. At temperatures where chemical control was predominant, apparent activation energies of 77, 48 and 126 kJ: mol^–1 were obtained for chlorination by CCl₄, COCl₄ and Cl₂, respectively. For interpretation of the conversion vs. time curves in the whole conversion range, a non-uniform particle size distribution was assumed, where the reacting solid phase was considered to be composed of thin plates of different thicknesses. With this model, a fairly good correspondence was obtained between the measured and calculated kinetic curves. Selected thermodynamic calculation data on the V₂O₅ + CCl₄, V₂O₅ + COCl₂ and V₂O₅ + Cl₂ systems are presented.

Zusammenfassung Mittels isothermen Thermogravimetriemessungen wurde die Kinetik der Chlorierung von reinem Vanadiumoxid mit CCl₄, COCl₂ und Cl₂ als Chlorierungsmittel untersucht. Bei Temperaturen mit vorherrschender chemischer Kontrolle wurde für die Chlorierung mit CCl₄, COCl₂ bzw. Cl₂ Bruttoaktivierungsenergien von 77, 48 bzw. 126 kJ/mol erhalten. Zur Interpretation der Konversion-Zeit-Diagramme im gesamten Conversionsbereich wurde eine nichteinheitliche Teilchengrösseverteilung angenommen, namentlich den Bestand der reagierenden Festphase aus dünnen Plättchen unterschiedlicher Dicke. Mit diesem Modell konnte eine recht gute Übereinstimmung zwischen errechneten und ermittelten kinetischen Kurven erhalten werden. Einige thermodynamische Rechenbeispiele für die Systeme V₂O₅ + CCl₄, V₂O₅ + COCl₂ und V₂O₅+Cl₂ wurden gegeben.

Effect of water on the desorption of carbon dioxide from the surface of alumina

Based on investigations of temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ from -Al₂O₃ surface, three forms of CO₂ adsorption differing considerably in quantitative contributions and temperature ranges of desorption have been distinguished. A significant inhibiting influence of water on CO₂ adsorption has been observed. Water adsorption results in gradual blocking of high and medium-energy adsorptive centers of CO₂ on -Al₂O₃.

On the Applicability of Duolite GT-73 to Column Preconcentration of Gold and Palladium Prior to Determination by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry

The preconcentration of Au and Pd on Duolite GT-73 chelating resin with the thiol functional group was investigated prior to determination of these noble metals by means of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. It was found that Au^III and Pd^II were retained on the resin along with other concomitant metals (Al, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) from different HCl-containing media. A two-step elution procedure was developed for the release of the noble metals. First 4.0molL^–1 HNO₃ solution was used to elute the base metals. The recovery of Au and Pd was performed afterwards using 0.50molL^–1 solution of (NH₂)₂CS. Retrieval of Au and Pd retained on Duolite GT-73 was also carried out by decomposition of the resin in the open vessel system using H₂SO₄ with H₂O₂. The detection limits of Au and Pd evaluated for the devised protocol, with a preconcentration factor of 50, were 0.085µgL^–1 and 0.28µgL^–1, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of Au and Pd in spiked electrolytic bath samples.     

The thermal decomposition of phosphorus iodides

The thermal decomposition of crystalline PI₃ and P₂I₄ in nitrogen and oxygen is reported. The oxidation of PI₃ leads mainly to the formation of phosphorus pentoxide and iodine together with P_xI polymeric species as a minor product. The decomposition of the polymeric species P₃I₂O₆ in oxygen and nitrogen follows a two-stage route which precludes its involvement in the oxidation of P₂I₄.

Support and mixing effect of an Fe2O3 catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-butene

The support and mixing effects of Fe₂O₃ for the activity of 1-butene oxidative dehydrogenation were examined. Alumina and titania which were able to catalyze the isomerization of butene via an allyl intermediate, stimulated remarkably the formation of butadiene from butene when they were used as support or mixing component of Fe₂O₃ catalyst. Otherwise Fe₂O₃ supported on SO ₄ ^2– ion containing Al₂O₃ or TiO₂–Al₂O₃, which catalyze the isomerization via a cationic intermediate, is almost inactive for the formation of butadiene.

Synthesis of γ-Fe2O3 by thermal decomposition of FeC4H4O6·2.5H2O

Iron(II) tartrate two and a half hydrate (FeC₄H₄O₆·2.5H₂O) was prepared and its thermal dehydration and decomposition were studied with a simultaneous thermal analyser (TG/DTA/DTG) under atmospheres of static air, dynamic dry nitrogen and dynamic air. This study was supplemented with the two-probe d.c. electrical conductivity technique under the same atmospheres. Under all the above atmospheres, the thermal dehydration was found to be a two-step process. However, the thermal decomposition process was quite complicated, involving the formation of various metastable intermediates, including-Fe₂O₃. The final product of decomposition under all atmosphere was-Fe₂O₃.Studies on the physical properties of-Fe₂O₃ were also undertaken.

Thermal properties of thiocyanatocopperc(II) complexes with picolines and lutidines

The thermal properties of coordination compounds of the composition Cu(NCS)₂L₂ (whereL=pyridine, 2-, 3- and 4-picoline, and 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-lutidine) are dealt with. The thermal decomposition of these compounds begins with the release of the ligandL. The compounds with pyridine derivatives containing a methyl substituent at position 2 show a markedly decreased initial decomposition temperature. It was found that X-ray irradiation caused a reduction of the central atom Cu(II) in the coordination compounds under investigation. X-ray electron spectra data showed the stability of the compounds Cu(NCS)₂L₂ withL=picoline or lutidine having a methyl substituent at position 2 to be distinctly lower in the surface layers. From the given series, the compounds Cu(NCS)₂(pyridine)₂ and Cu(NCS)₂(3,5-lutidine)₂ exhibit an analogous course of thermal decomposition in nitrogen atmosphere up to 600°. The stoichiometries of thermal decomposition are discussed.

Zusammenfassung Der Artikel befaßt sich mit den thermischen Eigenschaften von Koordi-nationsverbindungen der Zusammensetzung Cu(NCS)₂ L ₂ (L= Pyridin, 2-, 3-, 4-Pikolin, 2,3-, 2.4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- und 3,5-Lutidin). Die thermische Zersetzung dieser Verbindungen beginnt mit der Abspaltung des LigandenL. Die Verbindungen mit Pyridinderivaten, welche einen Methylsubstituenten in Position 2 im Pyridinring enthalten, zeigen eine deutlich herabgesetzte anfängliche Zersetzungstemperatur. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Röntgenbestrahlung eine Reduktion des zentralen Cu(II)-Atoms bei den untersuchten Koordinationsverbindungen herbeiführte. Die Daten der Röntgen-Elektronenspektren zeigten, daß die Stabilität der Verbindungen Cu(NCS)₂L₂ mitL=Pikolin oder Lutidin, welche einen Methylsubstituenten in Position 2 enthalten, in den Oberflächenschichten wesentlich geringer ist. Von der gegebenen Reihe der Verbindungen zeigen Cu(NCS)₂(Pyridin)₂ und Cu(NCS)₂(3,5-Lutidin)₂ in Stickstoff-Atmosphäre bis zu 600° einen ähnlichen Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung. Die Stöchiometrie ihrer thermischen Zersetzung wird beschrieben.

Résumé L'article a trait aux propriétés thermiques des composés de coordination de composition Cu(SCN)₂L₂ (L=pyridine, 2-, 3-, 4-picoline, 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, 3,5-lutidine). La décomposition thermique de ces composés commence avec la libération du ligandL. Les composés avec des dérivés de la pyridine contenant un substituant méthyle en position 2 sur le cycle de la pyridine présentent une température initiale de décomposition qui se trouve abaissée de manière appréciable. On observe que le traitement aux rayons X provoque une réduction de l'atome central Cu(II) dans les composés de coordination étudiés. Les données fournies par les spectres électroniques des rayons X ont montré que la stabilité des composés Cu(SCN)₂L₂ avecL= picoline ou lutidine, ayant un substituant méthyle en position 2, est nettement plus faible dans les couches superficielles. Dans cette série de composés, Cu(SCN)₂ (pyridine)₂ et Cu(SCN)₂(3,5-lutidine)₂ montrent, en atmosphère d'azote, jusqu'à 600°, un processus analogue de décomposition thermique. La stoechiométrie de leur réaction de décomposition thermique est examinée.

Speciation analysis of calcium,iron, and zinc in casein phosphopeptide fractions from toddler milk-based formula by anion exchange and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/flame atomic-absorption spectroscopy

Casein phosphopeptides (CPP) are phosphorylated casein-derived peptides that can be released by in-vitro or in-vivo enzymatic hydrolysis of _s1-casein, _s2-casein, and -casein (CN). Many of these peptides contain a highly polar acidic sequence of three phosphoseryl groups followed by two glutamic acid residues. These domains are binding sites for minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc and play an important role in mineral bioavailability. The aim of this study was speciation analysis of calcium, iron, and zinc in CPP fractions from the soluble fraction of a toddler milk-based formula. Methods for CPP separation by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (AE-HPLC) were combined with CPP identification by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and determination of the calcium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus content of the fractions obtained by AE-HPLC. Calcium and phosphorus were detected in all the analyzed AE-HPLC fractions. Calcium and zinc could be bound to CPP derived from _s1-CN and _s2-CN in fraction 3. Iron could be bound to CPP in fraction 4 in which -CN(15-34)4P was present with the cluster sequence S(P)S(P)S(P)EE. The results obtained prove the different distribution of calcium, iron, and zinc in heterogeneous CPP fractions.     

Tail-end purification of americium from plutonium loading effluents using a mixture of octyl (phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide and tri-N-butyl phosphate

The tail-end purification of Am from Pu loading effluents in 7.5M HNO₃ containing 160 mg l^–1 Am and 1.2 mg l^–1 Pu has been carried out. With 0.2M CMPO+1.2M TBP in dodecane as the extractant and stripping by 0.04M HNO₃+0.05M NaNO₂, the Pu level is brought down to 31.2 g l^–1. When the acidity was reduced to 4.2M HNO₃, one contact with 20% TLA/dodecane and subsequent extraction by a mixture of CMPO and TBP and stripping with 0.04M HNO₃+0.05M NaNO₂ gave Am samples without any detectable amounts of Pu. The recovery of Am was 90% by the first procedure and 98% by the second one.
