Thin-layer chromatographic separation of noble metals on ECTEOLA-cellulose in hydrochloric acid and aqueous chloride solutions

Summary The thin-layer chromatographic behaviour of the noble metals on ECTEOLA-cellulose has been examined in HCl and aqueous chloride solutions of Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr and Al. The R_f-values decrease in the order Ir(III) Rh(III) > Ru(III) > Pd(II) > Pt(IV) > Ir(IV) > Au(III) in all of the media of higher chloride concentrations (3M to 5M), in which there are sufficiently large differences in R_f-values of adjacent metals to resolve them clearly. Especially, the HCl solutions with or without H₂O₂ are very suitable for multi-component separations of the noble metals.

DC-Trennung von Edelmetallen auf ECTEOLA-Cellulose in salzsauren und wäßrigen Chloridlösungen

Zusammenfassung Das Verhalten von Edelmetallen wurde in salzsauren Lösungen sowie in Lösungen der Chloride von Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr und Al geprüft. Die R_f-Werte nehmen in allen Medien mit höherer Chlorid-konzentration (3M bis 5M) in folgender Reihenfolge ab: Ir(III) Rh(III) > Ru(III) > Pd(II) > Pt(IV) > Ir(IV) > Au(III). Die Unterschiede in den R_f-Werten sind groß genug, um eine deutliche Trennung zu gewährleisten. Salzsaure Lösungen mit oder ohne H₂O₂-Zusatz sind besonders gut für die Trennung von Vielkomponenten-Gemischen geeignet.

     

Pyrolysis of amines: Infrared spectrum of methyleneimine

Methyleneimine was detected in the gas phase by a moderately high resolution infrared spectrometer as one of the intermediate species produced by a pyrolysis of amines. Observed vibrational frequencies of some isotopic derivatives have been combined with the ab initio values to reach a most reliable force constants set. Some other spectroscopic parameters, involving geometrical parameters and dipole moment derivatives, have also been calculated ab initio and compared with the observation. Its half-life in our experimental apparatus was about 10 min, which is much longer than the previously reported values, 0.1 or 10 sec.     

Management of radioactive wastes using a personal computer

This paper describes a software package for a personal computer which deals with storage records of radioactive wastes; the software keeps the records of purchase and use of radioisotopes and makes the inventory records of radioactive wastes. The records for the cargo booking of the wastes for the Japanese Radioisotope Association can be prepared by this software package.     

On a geometrical method of construction of maximal t-linearly independent sets

The problem of constructing a maximal t-linearly independent set in V(r; s) (called a maximal L_t(r, s)-set in this paper) is a very important one (called a packing problem) concerning a fractional factorial design and an error correcting code where V(r; s) is an r-dimensional vector space over a Galois field GF(s) and s is a prime or a prime power. But it is very difficult to solve it and attempts made by several research workers have been successful only in special cases.In this paper, we introduce the concept of a {Σ_α=1^kw_α, m; t, s}-min · hyper with weight (w₁, w₂,…, w_k) and using this concept and the structure of a finite projective geometry PG(n ? 1, s), we shall give a geometrical method of constructing a maximal L_t(t + r, s)-set with length t + r + n for any integers r, n, and s such that n ? 3, n ? 1 ? r₀ ? n + s ? 2 and r₁ ? 1, where r = (r₁ + 1)v_n?1 ? r₀ and $\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{=}\text{(s}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{? 1)}\text{(s ? 1)}$.     

Experiments on plasma heating in the lower hybrid frequency range

Experimental results of lower hybrid heating in a small tokamak are described. When rf power is applied, a high energy tail of ions is produced, whether or not there is a lower hybrid resonance layer (LHR layer) in the plasma column, though bulk ion heating is not observed. The electron temperature in the plasma surface increases, while the electrons in the center lose their energy, which is related to an impurity ion flux diffusing from the outside of the plasma.     

The Nonexistence of Ternary [38, 6, 23] Codes

It has been shown by Bogdanova and Boukliev [1] that there exist a ternary [38,5,24] code and a ternary [37,5,23] code. But it is unknown whether or not there exist a ternary [39,6,24] code and a ternary [38,6,23] code. The purpose of this paper is to prove that (1) there is no ternary [39,6,24] code and (2) there is no ternary [38,6,23] code using the nonexistence of ternary [39,6,24] codes. Since it is known (cf. Brouwer and Sloane [2] and Hamada and Watamori [14]) that (i) n₃(6,23) = 38> or 39 and d₃(38,6) = 22 or 23 and (ii) n₃(6,24) = 39 or 40 and d₃(39,6) = 23 or 24, this implies that n₃(6,23) = 39, d₃(38,6) = 22, n₃(6,24) = 40 and d₃(39,6) = 23, where n3<>(k,d) and d<>3(n,k) denote the smallest value of n and the largest value of d, respectively, for which there exists an [n,k,d] code over the Galois field GF(3).     

Pyrolysis of amines: Infrared spectrum of N-methylvinylamine

The infrared spectrum of N-methylvinylamine was observed for the first time in the gas phase by the pyrolysis of propyleneimine. The half-life of this molecule was about 40 sec under our experimental conditions, and the molecule isomerized immediately into its tautomer, N-methylethylideneimine. The absorption bands were assigned by the help of an ab initio MO calculation.     

Rotational isomerism in amines and related molecules. Combination of ab initio Mo method with experiment in vibrational spectroscopy

An ab initio Mo method was applied to analyse the vibrational spectra of amines and their pyrolytic products. The result was useful to predict the frequencies of group vibrations, and to explain the characteristics of molecular parameters. The relative populations of rotational conformers were calculated and the results were found to be in qualitative agreement with what were observed.
