The radioisotopic battery based on radio-voltaic effect

The radio-voltaic effect is investigated to be applied radioisotopic batteries in this work. The collection rates of the electron-hole pairs are 94 percent for the alpha particles emitted by²³⁹Pu source and 65 percent for the beta particles emitted by⁹⁰Sr-⁹⁰Y source. The maximum energy conversion efficiency got by the silicon element is about 16%. A prototype radioisotopic battery with¹⁴⁷Pm beta sources is constructed. Its maximum short-circuit current and off voltage are about 2 A and 190 mV respectively. The experimental data suggest that the life of the prototype battery may be more than three years.     

SYNTHESIS OF SODALITE BY DRY POWDER METHOD

用新颖的干粉方法合成系列沸石的研究已从五元环沸石延伸到具有四元环和六元环的方钠石。本研究运用干粉方法在Ｎａ２Ｏ－ＳｉＯ２－Ａｌ２Ｏ３混合物中分别以乙醇胺和乙二胺－氟化物为模板，合成出了方钠石。有机模板剂以吸附态模板方式进入体系。用ＸＲＤ数据、扫描电镜图及红外光谱测试结果对实验产品做了表征。结果表明，干粉体系制备的方钠石的晶胞参数小于水热体系和非水体系合成的方钠石的相应值。而以乙醇胺为模板制备的方钠石与以乙二胺－氟化物为模板的样品比较，后者具有较快的晶化速度、较小的晶胞体积和晶粒

Adsorption enthalpy and desorption enthalpy during displacement of adsorbate to solvent in a liquid-solid system

The adsorption heat of the stoichiometric displacement process for the adsorption of a solute in a liquid-solid system was investigated. On the basis of the SDM-A and the rule of the additivity of energy, an expression which describes the dependence of the adsorption enthalpy on the nature and concentration of the solute, and on the solvent and adsorbent, was derived. The adsorption heat determined for the solute with the traditional method can be divided into two independent fractions, relating to the adsorption of the solute and to the desorption of the solvent. Experimental data on both isotherms from the literatures and precise calorimetry were used to test the adsorption heat and its fractions computed quantitatively via the equations presented in this study, and a satisfactory degree of conformity between them was obtained.

Evolution of the geometrical and electronic structures of Gan(n=2-26) clusters: a density-functional theory study

Density-functional theory with generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation potential has been used to calculate the lowest-energy geometries and electronic structure of neutral gallium clusters containing up to 26 atoms. Harmonic vibrational frequency analysis is undertaken to assure that the lowest-energy geometries are real local minima. With increasing cluster size, we find that the gallium clusters tend to adopt compact structures. The structures comprise triangular units that connect each other with different dihedral angles. The lowest-energy structure can be obtained by capping an atom on the structure of smaller one. The capping site occurs at a site where interactions with more atoms are available. The binding energy evolves monotonically with size, but Ga(8), Ga(14), and Ga(20) exhibit particularly higher stability. Except Ga(2) and Ga(4), all even-numbered gallium clusters we studied are closed-shell singlet states with a substantial highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals gap. The odd-numbered clusters are open shell with a small gap. The size dependence of cluster's ionization potentials and electron affinities is discussed and compared with available experiment.     

Measuring trihalomethane concentrations in water using supported capillary membrane sampling-gas chromatography

The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a supported capillary membrane sampling-gas chromatography method for the analysis of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water. The effects of experimental parameters, such as flow rate of carrier gas, water temperature, ionic strengths of solutions and transfer line temperature on the system performance were investigated. The results of method detection limit and accuracy and precision studies are reported.
