Volumetric properties of ethanol–water mixtures under high temperatures and pressures

The densities of ethanol and ethanol–water mixtures were measured with a vibrating tube densimeter at 25.0, 50.0 and 75.0 °C in the pressure range from 0.10 to 40.00 MPa. Densities were correlated using an empirical model. Partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures were calculated from obtained densities. This study reports the dependence of densities, partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures on composition, temperature and pressure.

Composition and morphology of stack emissions from coal and oil fuelled boilers

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) together with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used in the study of fly ash from large electric power and heating plants. Two basic kinds of fly ash originating either from brown coal or heavy-oil combustion can be characterized both by morphology and trace element composition. INAA technique used consisted of both short (1 min) and long (2 h) activations to ensure the determination of 30–40 elements in each fly ash sample. The average composition and determination limits obtained by INAA for coal fly ash produced in several electric power plants burning two kinds of brown coal have been compared with those obtained for fly ash originating from heating plants burning heavy-oil. Coal fly ash showed much higher concentrations of many elements especially of Sc. La, Th, Cs, Ce, Sm, Rb and Al in comparison with oil fly ash. On the other hand, the latter contained relatively high concentrations of V and Ni. The results of INAA of fly ash samples can be used for the projection of efficient separating devices and for the evaluation and prediction of contamination levels in the vicinity of large emission sources.     

Statistical investigations of some element distributions in healthy and pathologically altered human colon mucosa

In this paper data are presented concerning the distribution of Cr, Sb, Sc, Fe, Co, and Zn in HCM, of patients with histopathologically and clinically verified findings: Healthy—N; Colitis Chronica-CCh; Colitis Ulcerosa-CU; Adenoma Tubulare-AT; Adenocarcinoma-ACa. The data are presented on the basis of the contents of elements (C_E parameter expressed in nkg/g of lyophilized HCM) obtained by INAA and calculated by computer programs, with statistical parameters (n, XBAR, XMIN-XMAX, R, V, SE and SDEV). The values of C_E parameters of elements found in all diagnostic groups (decreasing order) are also presented. The minimal \(\bar C_E \) parameters for all elements except Zn are found in diagnostic groups AT and ACa. The maximal differences of \(\bar C_E \) parameters in DS-decreasing orders are found for Sb (78.89%) and the minimal for Zn (18.89%).     

Determination of adsorptive properties of clay/water system: methylene blue sorption

In this study, adsorption of methylene blue onto clay was investigated. The effect of adsorption time and temperature on the adsorption process was studied. To reveal the adsorptive characteristics of the clay studied, porosity and BET surface area measurements were made. It was observed that the adsorption capacity decreases with increasing temperature, and adsorption equilibrium was attained within 1 h. It was found that the data fit well to Langmuir, Halsey, Henderson, and Harkins-Jura models but experimental data deviate significantly from BET and Freundlich models at especially high concentrations. Furthermore, isosteric adsorption enthalpy and entropy are calculated as -7.99 kJ mol(-1) and 25.41 JK(-1)mol(-1), respectively.     

Investigation of the physico-chemical structure of oxycellulose after storage for two years and determined by derivatograph

The effect of ageing for a period of two years upon chemically pre-oxidized and irradiated cellulose was investigated. Changes in the chemical structure and energy excitation of atomic groups of oxycellulose skeleton were evaluated from the qualitative and quantitative points of view. The numerical interpretation and complex comparison of the quantities (activation energy, energy quantity EW, values of the thermal effect (areas of DTA peaks) and weight losses) of four degradation phases of pyrolysis were employed, when applying the oxidation pyrolysis method with derivatograph.

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung einer zweijährigen Alterung von chemisch voroxydierter und bestrahlter Zellulose wurde untersucht. Veränderungen der chemischen Struktur und die energetische Anregung von Atomgruppen des Oxyzellulosegerüsts wurden unter qualitativen und quantitativen Gesichtspunkten studiert. Eine numerische Interpretation und ein komplexer Vergleich der Größen (Aktivierungsenergie, EnergiemengeEW, Werte der thermischen Effekte — DTA-Peakflächen, Gewichtsverluste) von 4 pyrolytischen Abbauphasen wurden vorgenommen, wobei für die oxydative Pyrolyse ein Derivatograph verwendet wurde.

A potentiometric reductimetric method for the determination of platinum (Pt(IV)Pt(II)) with a standard Fe(II) solution in an alkaline medium of mannitol is described. The method, the error of which does not exceed 2%, can be used in the presence of palladium, iridium, and rhodium.     

Extraction of macro- and microamounts of lanthanides by D2EHPA

The effect of macroconcentration (Ma) lanthanide extraction on the microcomponent (Mi) extraction by D2EHPA was investigated. The investigation corroborated that the macrocomponent suppresses the microcomponent extraction. The extractability of Mi decreases with increasing Ma concentration and with increasing proton lanthanide number in macroconcentrations. Semi-empirical relations were derived describing lanthanide extraction in lanthanide macro- and microconcentrations as a function of the extraction of lanthanide macroconcentrations. Under the conditions discussed, these relations can be used to estimate for any lanthanide the distribution ratios for the lanthanide applied as a macrocomponent and for Eu applied as a microcomponent.     

Determination of heptacaine hydrochloride in solution using nuclear analytical methods

The applicability of two nuclear analytical methods for the determination of hepatacaine hydrochloride in solution was studied, i. e. radionuclide X-ray fluorescence analysis and radiometric titrations based on precipitate formations. Methods used were evaluated on the basis of obtained sensitivity values.
