Interparticle interactions in agglomerates of alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles: influence of grinding

We have chemically prepared a sample of antiferromagnetic alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles by a gel-sol technique. M?ssbauer spectra of the as-prepared sample showed that superparamagnetic relaxation was suppressed due to strong magnetic interparticle interactions even at room temperature. However, subsequent grinding of the sample by hand in a mortar for some minutes resulted in fast superparamagnetic relaxation of some of the particles. The effect was even more dramatic if the alpha-Fe2O3 powder was ground for a longer time or together with nonmagnetic eta-Al2O3 nanoparticles. Similar effects were found after low-energy ball milling. Thus it is found that the agglomeration of the nanoparticles during preparation under wet conditions results in strong magnetic interparticle interaction, but a relatively gentle mechanical treatment is sufficient to break up the agglomerates, resulting in much weaker interactions. We show that these effects can also be seen when a soil sample containing magnetic nanoparticles is ground.     

多壁碳纳米管负载铂的甲苯加氢脱芳催化剂

以多壁碳纳米管(CNTs)为载体制备了负载型Pt催化剂Pt/CNTs并将其用于催化甲苯加氢脱芳(HDA)反应.结果表明,在1.0%Pt/CNTs催化剂上,在0.4MPa,373K,PhCH3/H2摩尔比=6/94和GHSV=120L/(h.g)的反应条件下,甲苯转化率可达100%,比反应速率为0.0523mmol/(s.m2),分别是γ-Al2O3和AC负载各自最佳Pt负载量催化剂1.4%Pt/γ-Al2O3和2.4%Pt/AC上相应值的1.17和1.18倍.甲苯加氢产物全部为甲基环己烷,其他可能的加氢产物均在气相色谱检测限以下.催化剂的表征研究揭示,用CNTs代替γ-Al2O3或AC作为载体并不会引起所负载Pt催化剂上甲苯HDA反应的表观活化能发生明显变化.与γ-Al2O3或AC负载的相应催化剂相比,一方面,CNTs负载的Pt催化剂易于在较低温度下还原活化,并且其工作态催化剂表面催化活性Pt物种(Pt0)所占表面Pt摩尔分率有所提高;另一方面,CNTs负载的Pt催化剂对H2具有较高的吸附/活化和储存能力.这些促进效应对催化剂HDA活性的提高都有重要贡献.

Synthesis and aggregation behavior of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-succinyl-o-carboxymethylchitosan in aqueous solutions

A simple and novel method was developed to successfully synthesize N-succinyl-O-carboxymethylchitosan (NSOCMCS) using N-acylation of chitosan with succinic anhydride. The NSOCMCS structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance. The aggregation behaviors of NSOCMCS were studied using fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy techniques. The critical aggregation concentration of NSOCMCS in water was determined to be 0.2–0.3 mg/ml. The apparent hydrodynamic radium of an NSOCMCS aggregate was dependent on the concentration. The aggregates demonstrated a much swollen association conformation in aqueous solution. The possible aggregation mechanisms for the NSOCMCS in water are discussed. Moreover, a driving force to form an open aggregation morphology was revealed in this study. Aggregation behaviors are important physicochemical properties of NSOCMCS, which impact the potential application in the biomedical field.

Structural characteristics of pure silica gel (silica-xerogel, SiO₂) and silica gel doped with some rare earth elements (REEs) such as, praseodymium Pr³⁺, and Europium Eu³⁺, Erbium Er³⁺ and Holmium Ho³⁺ ions, with different concentrations ranging from 1 up to 6%, in the form of monolith materials were prepared by sol-gel technique, Using tetra-ethoxysilane as precursor materials, which are of particular interest for sol-gel integrated optics applications. Some structural features of sol-gel derived monolith are analyzed, namely the structure of nano-particle momolith samples, based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). We show that the XRD spectra of α-crystobalite are obtained for the pure samples at 1100°C and even by doping with the four REEs ions.
