Beitrag zur Stickstoffschnellbestimmung nach Merz

Zusammenfassung Einige Änderungen an der Apparatur zur Stickstoffschnellbestimmung nachMerz wurden vorgenommen. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß zwischen den einzelnen Verbrennungen Sauerstoff das Verbrennungsrohr durchspült und vor dem Reduktionsrohr nach außen tritt. Der Verbrennungsraum ist daher bereits zu Beginn jeder Analyse mit Sauerstoff gefüllt, wodurch günstigere Bedingungen für die schlagartige Verbrennung erzielt werden. Der Umbau der von der Firma Heraeus gelieferten Apparatur und die Herstellung eines Oxydationskatalysators (Kobaltoxid-Wolframoxid) werden beschrieben.

Contribution to the rapid nitrogen determination according to merz

Summary The apparatus for rapid nitrogen determination according toMerz has been modified. Between each two combustions, oxygen is flushed through the combustion tube and is vented before the reduction tube. Therefore, at the beginning of each analysis, the combustion chamber is filled with oxygen, providing a more favorable atmosphere for the rapid ignition. The alterations in the Hereaus apparatus and the preparation of an oxidation catalyst (cobalt oxide and tungsten oxide) are described.

     

Electronic structure of saturated hydrocarbons in the semi-empirical equivalent orbital method

The problem of obtaining the matrix elements of Hartree-Fock Hamiltonians for alkanes using the EO method is considered. It has been shown that the data on the electronic structure of diamond together witht ₁/e splitting in the neopentane photoelectron spectrum are helpful to produce such EO method parameter scale which involves even “through space” interactions. In terms of the EO method the photoelectron spectra of propane, butane, isobutane, and neopentane are interpreted. The valence band structure of polyethylene in analytical form is obtained.     

Grafting with acrylonitrile with the redox system cellulose xanthogenate–hydrogen peroxide

The possibility of obtaining modified cellulose products by reacting cellulose xanthogenate in solutions containing oxidizers and acrylonitrile was studied. The ability of the cellulose xanthogenate–hydrogen peroxide redox system to initiate graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile on the cellulose was demonstrated. The influence of various factors on the processes was investigated. An attempt was made to clarify the nature of the reactions involved.

Aleksandr Georgievich Tyurin (1953–2015) and his research in corrosion science

This paper is a tribute to one of the leading Russian scientists in the field of corrosion science and my supervisor, Aleksandr Georgievich Tyurin, who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in 2015. A short biographical note is given together with an outline of his contributions to corrosion and electrochemical science.     

Synthesis,characterization of nanosized CoAl<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> and its electrocatalytic activity for enhanced sensing application

Nanosized cobalt aluminate (CoAl₂O₄) was prepared by thermolysis of heteronuclear coordination compound, namely [Al₂Co(C₂O₄)₄(OH₂)₆]. The synthesized precursor was characterized by chemical analysis, vibrational spectra and thermal analysis. The cobalt aluminate obtained after a heating treatment of the precursor at 700 °C was characterized by IR, XRD, TEM coupled with SAED measurements. Two types of carbon-based electrodes, glassy carbon and boron-doped diamond electrodes were decorated with the obtained cobalt aluminate in order to enhance the electroanalytical performance for the tetracycline (TC) detection in the aqueous solutions. Cyclic voltammetry technique was used to determine the effect of the nanosized CoAl₂O₄ on the electrochemical oxidation of TC and as consequence, for TC detection at both carbon-based electrodes. The obtained cobalt aluminate exhibited the electrocatalytic activity toward TC detection in direct relation with the type of the carbon substrate, which allowed enhancing the electroanalytical parameters of TC detection in the aqueous solution.
