Eine Methode zur halbquantitativen Bestimmung kleiner Mengen von Organochlorpestiziden mittels aromatischer Amine mit Hilfe der Ringofenmethode

Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung von Toxaphen wurde die Weiszsche Ringofentechnik angewandt, wobei zum Auswaschen der Ringe eine Diphenylamin-Petrolätherlösung benutzt wird und zur Entwicklung der Farbe der Ringe eine kurzfristige Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht Anwendung findet. Die Grenzwerte der Bestimmungen sind 0,5 bis 2,5g Toxaphen mit einer Genauigkeit von 100±2%.Auf die Möglichkeit der Anwendung anderer aromatischer Amine für eine Reihe anderer Organochlorpestizide wird hingewiesen.

Summary The Weisz ring oven technique was used for determining Toxaphene, whereby a diphenylamine-petroleum ether solution was employed for washing out the rings and a brief irradiation with UV light for the development of the color of the rings. The limiting values of the determinations are 0.5 to 2.5g Toxaphene with an accuracy of 100±2%.The possibility of the application of other aromatic amines for a series of other organo chlorinated pesticides is pointed out.

Mathematical modeling of physico-chemical characteristics of cement-waste composites in radioactive waste management

An optimization of mortar (as matrix), improved with bentonite clay, used for immobilization of radionuclides⁶⁰Co,¹³⁷Cs,⁸⁵Sr and⁵⁴Mn, is presented. A relatively simple mathematical model is given, which permits minimization of leach rate and permeability and maximization of compressive strength. An optimal solution, based on experimental data, is given. These results will be used for a future Yugoslav radioactive waste storing center.     

Formation of the surface charge on silica in mixed solvents

At sufficiently high concentrations of methanol and of alkali salts in aqueous silica dispersions, the negative -potentials of the particles are decreased. This effect is more pronounced with lithium than with other alkali cations, and it is independent on the anion. The NMR spectra indicate lithium adsorption on silica from mixed solvents, but not in the absence of alcohol.Supported by a contract with the XMX Corporation, Burlington, Massachusetts, USA     

Study of radioactive labelled chromium (III) ion adsorption on stearic acid monomolecular layer

A study of chromium(III) ion adsorption on a stearic acid monomolecular layer (MML), spread on the surface of a⁵¹CrCl₃ aqueous solution, is presented. From the analysis of the experimental results it can be concluded that MML saturation is achieved at CrCl₃ concentrations above 10^?6M. When the maximum adsorption pH value of Cr(III) ions on MML is 6.7, MML is completely ionized and chromium ion is bonded as Cr(OH) ₂ ⁺ . The kinetics of Cr(III) ion adsorption on MML could be expressed as A^S=A _∞ ^S (1?e^{?k t}).     

On the Interaction of Two Finite-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Interaction of quantum system S ^a described by the generalised × eigenvalue equation A| _s =E _s S ^a | _s (s=1,...,) with quantum system S ^b described by the generalised n×n eigenvalue equation B| _i = _i S ^b | _i (i=1,...,n) is considered. With the system S ^a is associated -dimensional space X ^a and with the system S ^b is associated an n-dimensional space X _n ^b that is orthogonal to X ^a . Combined system S is described by the generalised (+n)×(+n) eigenvalue equation [A+B+V]| _k = _k [S ^a +S ^b +P]| _k (k=1,...,n+) where operators V and P represent interaction between those two systems. All operators are Hermitian, while operators S ^a ,S ^b and S=S ^a +S ^b +P are, in addition, positive definite. It is shown that each eigenvalue _{k i} of the combined system is the eigenvalue of the × eigenvalue equation . Operator in this equation is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues _i of the system S ^b and in terms of matrix elements _s |V| _i and _s |P| _i where vectors | _s form a base in X ^a . Eigenstate | _k ^a of this equation is the projection of the eigenstate | _k of the combined system on the space X ^a . Projection | _k ^b of | _k on the space X _n ^b is given by | _k ^b =( _k S ^b –B)^–1(V– _k P})| _k ^a where ( _k S ^b –B)^–1 is inverse of ( _k S ^b –B) in X _n ^b . Hence, if the solution to the system S ^b is known, one can obtain all eigenvalues _{k i} } and all the corresponding eigenstates | _k of the combined system as a solution of the above × eigenvalue equation that refers to the system S ^a alone. Slightly more complicated expressions are obtained for the eigenvalues _{k i} } and the corresponding eigenstates, provided such eigenvalues and eigenstates exist.     

Threshold electron impact excitation of Cl2

A high resolution electron impact threshold spectroscopy technique was used to examine the excitation of Cl₂ in the 2–14 eV region. This study complements previous photon absorption and emission measurements, because it is capable of detecting transitions which are optically forbidden. In the region up to 7.5 eV, broad dissociative structures are correlated with optically active valence states, although relative intensities in the threshold spectrum differ considerably and indicate a substantial contribution from the optically forbidden transitions. At 7.46 eV a series of 5 equidistant sharp peaks is detected and interpreted as arising from the² π _g Feshbach resonance, which differs from the ground state positive ion Cl ₂ ⁺ by a pair of Rydberg electrons: (4sσ)². The decay channels responsible for the appearance of the resonance in a threshold spectrum are discussed and it is suggested that they include several valence states of the (2431) and (2341) configurations, whose potential energy curves cross the Cl ₂ ^? ,²π_g curve in the region of energy at which the resonance state is formed. At higher incident electron energies and up to ionisation, Rydberg states predominate, starting with (2430) 4s^3,1 π _g states detected for the first time. The absence of broad peaks above 8 eV and the irregular appearance of Rydberg bands is consistent with the strong Rydberg-valence configuration mixing proposed by Peyerimhoff and Buenker. Where our resolution permits comparison, good general agreement is found with recent synchrotron radiation absorption measurements of optically allowed transitions.

Kinetic determination of ultramicro amounts of copper

A new catalytic reaction is proposed and a kinetic method developed for the determination of ultramicro amounts of Cu(II) on the basis of its catalytic activity in oxidation of the 2-thiosemicarbazone of sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of ascorbic acid. Under optimal conditions the sensitivity of the method is 0.25 ng/ml. The relative error is 4.8-18.2% for the concentration range 5-0.8 ng/ml. Most foreign ions do not change the rate of the catalysed reaction. Co(2+) and I(-) catalyse the reaction, Ni(2+) extensively inhibits it, and in the presence of EDTA only the uncatalysed reaction takes place.
