The paper studies, with the help of HPLC-DAD-MS/MS technique, the hydrolytic and photoinduced degradation processes that take place in aqueous solutions of tribenuron methyl, both when preserved in the dark and when undergoing solar box irradiation under conditions that simulate sun light. The results indicate that the degradation products formed by hydrolysis alone and by photoirradiation are the same, but kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction is much slower. The degradation products are identified as 2-methoxy-4-methylamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (P1), methyl 2-aminosulfonylbenzoate (P2), and saccharin (P3) and quantified. Ecotoxicological biotests performed on 0.1 microg L(-1) photoirradiated solutions of the herbicide give a border line toxicity situation comparable to that of the precursor and indicate that the herbicide is characterized by low persistence in the environment, as required. Its degradation, however, does not lead to mineralization but to the formation of products of comparable toxicity. To evaluate the matrix effects, the photodegradation of the herbicide is also studied in the presence of rice paddy waters: the process is slower than in ultrapure water but leads to the same products. Experiments performed for comparison by irradiating ultrapure water solutions with UV lamp (254 nm) show that the degradation process is not only faster with respect to sunlight, but gives a different pathway, without in anyway leading to mineralization. 相似文献
In this study, we present the aqueous solution behavior of two luminescent lanthanide antenna complexes (Eu3+? 1 , Dy3+? 9 ) with different ligand topologies in the presence of dipicolinic acid (DPA, pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid). Macrocyclic (1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7‐triacetic acid, DO3A, 9 ) and acyclic (1,4,7‐triazaheptane‐1,1,7,7‐tetraacetic acid, DTTA, 1 ) ligands have been selected to form a ratiometric pair in which Dy3+? 9 acts as a reference and Eu3+? 1 acts as a probe for the recognition of DPA. The pair of luminescent complexes in water reveals the capability to work as a DPA luminescent sensor. The change of emission intensity of Eu3+ indicates the occurrence of a new sensitization path for the lanthanide cation through excitation of DPA. NMR evidence implies the presence of free 1 and mass spectrometry shows the formation of emitting [EuDPA2]? as a result of a ligand exchange reaction. 相似文献
This work presents (in a wider perspective), some of our recent developments in the mathematical modeling and control of bulk polymerization for the production of HIPS. The recent model by Casís assumes the polymerization to be heterogeneous, and it calculates (in two phases) the global molecular structure of the three polymeric components of HIPS (free polystyrene, unreacted polybutadiene, and graft copolymer). At present, a model is being developed capable of estimating the average particle morphology (salami or core‐shell). Assuming a continuous bulk HIPS process as homogeneous, Luciani estimated the evolution of the MFI of the final product during changes of grade, with the aim of minimizing the intermediate off‐spec product. Finally, an unpublished simulation is presented that describes the transitions between the steady state of a HIPS‐grade and that of a general‐purpose polystyrene.
The influence of the length of a flexible hydrophobic spacer on the selectivity of anionic dimeric surfactants was investigated. Disodium 1,omega-bis(decyloxymethyl)-dioxa alkane-1,omega disulfates with a spacer containing an ethylene, butylene, hexylene, octylene, decylene or dodecylene group were synthesized, and four of these were evaluated for use in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) via linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs). There were no significant differences in the system constants of these surfactants, indicating that their micelles all have a very similar interface with the aqueous phase, regardless of the length of the hydrophobic spacer. Compared to sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), these dimeric surfactants are slightly more cohesive, interact better with polarizable compounds, and are somewhat better hydrogen bond acceptors and worse hydrogen bond donors, while there is no difference in dipolarity. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of these surfactants were in the order of 1mM, except for the dimeric surfactant with a spacer containing an ethylene group, which had a CMC <0.03 mM. 相似文献
1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone (2a) reacts as a hydride-acceptor in the Oppenauer oxidation of secondary alcohols (1) in the presence of diethylethoxyaluminum. The oxidant allows for selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols. 相似文献
A new technique has been used to search for solar axions using a single crystal germanium detector. It exploits the coherent conversion of axions into photons when their angle of incidence satisfies a Bragg condition with a crystalline plane. The analysis of approximately 1.94 kg.yr of data from the 1 kg DEMOS detector in Sierra Grande, Argentina, yields a new laboratory bound on axion-photon coupling of gαγγ < 2.7 × 10−9GeV−1, independent of axion mass up to 1 keV. 相似文献
A quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (Q-ICP-MS) equipped with a dynamic reaction cell (DRC) and coupled with a desolvating nebulization system (APEX-IR) was employed to determine 17 elements (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, V, and Zr) in blood samples. Ammonia (for Al, Cr, Mn, and V) and O2 (for As and Se) were used as reacting gases. Selection of the best flow rate of the gases and optimization of the quadrupole dynamic bandpass tuning parameter (RPq) were carried out, using digested blood diluted 1 + 9 with deionized water and spiked with 1 μg L−1 of Al, Cr, Mn, V and 5 μg L−1 of As and Se. Detection limits were determined in digested blood using the 3σ criterion. The desolvating system allowed a sufficient sensitivity to be achieved to determine elements at levels of ng L−1 without detriment of signal stability. The accuracy of the method was tested with the whole blood certified reference material (CRM), certified for Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and V, and with indicative values for Ba, Li, Sn, Sr, and Zr. The addition calibration approach was chosen for analysis. In order to confirm the DRC data, samples were also analyzed by means of sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS), operating in medium (m/Δm = 4000) and high (m/Δm = 10,000) resolution mode and achieving a good agreement between the two techniques. 相似文献
The flow field around a helicopter is characterised by its inherent complexity including effects of fluid?Cstructure interference, shock?Cboundary layer interaction, and dynamic stall. Since the advancement of computational fluid dynamics and computing capabilities has led to an increasing demand for experimental validation data, a comprehensive wind tunnel test campaign of a fully equipped and motorised generic medium transport helicopter was conducted in the framework of the GOAHEAD project. Different model configurations (with or without main/tail rotor blades) and several flight conditions were investigated. In this paper, the results of the three-component velocity field measurements around the model are surveyed. The effect of the interaction between the main rotor wake and the fuselage for cruise/tail shake flight conditions was analysed based on the flow characteristics downstream from the rotor hub and the rear fuselage hatch. The results indicated a sensible increment of the intensity of the vortex shedding from the lower part of the fuselage and a strong interaction between the blade vortex filaments and the wakes shed by the rotor hub and by the engine exhaust areas. The pitch-up phenomenon was addressed, detecting the blade tip vortices impacting on the horizontal tail plane. For high-speed forward flight, the shock wave formation on the advancing blade was detected, measuring the location on the blade chord and the intensity. Furthermore, dynamic stall on the retreating main rotor blade in high-speed forward flight was observed at r/R?=?0.5 and 0.6. The analysis of the substructures forming the dynamic stall vortex revealed an unexpected spatial concentration suggesting a rotational stabilisation of large-scale structures on the blade. 相似文献
The essential oil of the leaves of Espeletia nana Cuatrec., obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by GC-MS, which allowed the identification of 24 components, which made up 99.9% of the oil. The most abundant compounds were a-pinene (38.1%), beta-pinene (17.2%), myrcene (15.0%), spathulenol (4.2%), bicyclogermacrene (4.0%), a-zingiberene (4.0%), and gamma-himachalene (3.7%). Antibacterial activity was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using the agar disk diffusion method. Activity was observed only against Gram-positive bacteria. MIC values were determined for Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (200 microg/mL) and Enterococcusfaecalis ATCC 29212 (600 microg/mL). 相似文献
This paper deals with a new class of random flights in ℝd, d≥2, characterized by non-uniform probability distributions on the multidimensional sphere. These random motions differ from
similar models appeared in literature where the directions are taken according to the uniform law. The family of angular probability
distributions introduced in this paper depends on a parameter ν≥0, which gives the anisotropy of the motion. Furthermore, we assume that the number of changes of direction performed by
the random flight is fixed. The time lengths between two consecutive changes of orientation have joint probability distribution
given by a Dirichlet density function. 相似文献
