Heat transfer in polymer composites filled with inorganic hollow micro-spheres: A theoretical model

The heat transfer mechanisms in inorganic hollow micro-spheres filled polymer composites are analyzed in the present paper. This heat transfer includes mainly three mechanisms: (1) thermal conduction between solid and gas; (2) thermal radiation between the hollow micro-sphere surfaces; and (3) natural thermal convection of the gas in the micro-hollow spheres. A theoretical model of heat transfer in polymer/inorganic hollow micro-sphere composites is established based on the law of minimal thermal resistance and the equal law of the specific equivalent thermal conductivity, and a corresponding equation of effective thermal conductivity is derived. The effective thermal conductivity (k_eff) of hollow glass bead-filled polypropylene composites is estimated by using this equation, and is compared with the numerical simulations by means of a finite element method. The results show that the variation of the theoretical estimations of k_eff are similar to the numerical simulations at lower filler volume fraction (φ_f20%). Moreover, k_eff decreases linearly with increasing φ_f, and reduces somewhat with increase of filler size.     

The role of 3d orbitals in the bonding of phosphorus compounds

Ab initio LCAO-MO-SCF calculations for several typical molecules containing phosphorushave been undertaken to study the role of phosphorus 3d orbitals in the bonding.It is emphasizedthat the discussion about the 3d orbital participation in bonding should be based on a reasonable choiceof basis sets and it seems suitable to choose the atomic orbitals in proper molecular environment asthe basis set.As an approximation,the optimized minimal STO-NG basis sets have been adoptedin the present paper.The results obtained well exhibit the model of 3d orbital participation in bonding.It is shown that under the influence of highly electronegative ligands the phosphorus 3d orbitals con-tract greatly,their energy levels drop considerably,and thus they can effectively participate in bond-ing.The presence of highly electronegative ligands seems necessary.The contribution of 3d orbitalsto bonding is achieved mainly through the concertedformation of σ bonds and p-d backbonds,thoughthe contribution to σ bonding is minor.The three-center,four-electron bond modelis only approxi-mately correct.The results of the present paper demonstrate that the model of 3d orbital participationin bonding favoured by experimental chemists is reasonable and possesses sound ground.     

Mass transfer in shell-core inorganic TIP1 ion exchanger

The ion exchange processes of (OAc^–) and (OAc^–) proceeding in shell-core inorganic ion exchanger Ti (HPO₄)₂·1/2H₂O has been studied and the diffusion equation whose boundary conditions are satisfied by a shell-core model was solved. Based on the equation solved and experimental data, the diffusion coefficients corresponding to the exchange process (OAc^–) and Li⁺–H⁺ (OAc^–) at 17°C are found to be 7.7×10^–9 and 6.2×10^–8 cm² s^–1 and the activation energies 3.4×10⁴ and 5.0×10³ J mol^–1, respectively. Compared to the gel type of styrene-divinylbenzene strong acid exchanger with 20% cross linking, it can be concluded that the rate of or exchange is 3.5 times faster than that in the organic exchanger.TIP was obtained from the Salt Lake Institute of the Academy of Science of China.

Interaction between netropsin and double-stranded DNA in capillary zone electrophoresis and affinity capillary electrophoresis

Poor sensitivity and low phase ratio are the main drawbacks of open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OTCEC). The poor sensitivity results from the use of narrow bore size capillary, whereas the low phase ratio, which limits the separation capability, is caused by the limited surface area of conventional capillary. Two strategies may be useful to overcome these disadvantages. First, an extended light path (ELP) capillary, which has a bubble cell at the detection point, is used to improve the sensitivity. Secondly, an etched capillary of a 1,000-fold increased surface area is used to enhance the phase ratio. In this work, use of an ELP capillary and an etched capillary in OTCEC was evaluated with a chiral stationary phase of avidin prepared with the physical adsorption method. With a 20 microm I.D. ELP capillary with a 150 microm bubble cell, the peak height was enhanced by 4-10-fold and the corrected peak area was increased by 12-fold relative to a 20 microm I.D. conventional capillary. However, the peak efficiency and resolution decreased noticeably. The phase ratio on the etched capillary was slightly enhanced, by a factor of 1.64 relative to an unetched capillary. Consequently, the separation capability was slightly improved. The increase in the phase ratio was much lower than that expected from the increase in surface area, the reason for which is probably the reduced density of surface silanol group and the generation of nitrogen-containing groups due to the etching process.     

Development of high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprints for distinguishing Chinese Angelica from related umbelliferae herbs

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprint of Chinese Angelica (CA) was developed basing on the consistent chromatograms of 40 CA samples (Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels). The unique properties of this HPLC fingerprints were validated by analyzing 13 related herbs including 4 Japanese Angelicae Root samples (JA, A. acutiloba Kitagawa and A. acutiloba Kitagawa var. sugiyame Hikino), 6 Szechwan Lovage Rhizome samples (SL, Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) and 3 Cnidium Rhizome samples (CR, Cnidium officinale Makino). Both correlation coefficients of similarity in chromatograms and relative peak areas of characteristic compounds were calculated for quantitative expression of the HPLC fingerprints. The amount of senkyunolide A in CA was less than 30-fold of that in SL and CR samples, which was used as a chemical marker to distinguish them. JA was easily distinguished from CA, SL and CR based on either chromatographic patterns or the amount of coniferyl ferulate. No obvious difference between SL and CR chromatograms except the relative amount of some compounds, suggesting that SL and CR might have very close relationship in terms of chemotaxonomy. Ferulic acid and Z-ligustilide were unequivocally determined whilst senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, coniferyl ferulate, senkyunolide A, butylphthalide, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide, Z-butylidenephthalide and levistolide A were tentatively identified in chromatograms based on their atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) MS data and the comparison of their UV spectra with those published in literatures.     

Experimental and modeling study on decomposition kinetics of methane hydrates in different media

The decomposition kinetic behaviors of methane hydrates formed in 5 cm3 porous wet activated carbon were studied experimentally in a closed system in the temperature range of 275.8-264.4 K. The decomposition rates of methane hydrates formed from 5 cm3 of pure free water and an aqueous solution of 650 g x m(-3) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were also measured for comparison. The decomposition rates of methane hydrates in seven different cases were compared. The results showed that the methane hydrates dissociate more rapidly in porous activated carbon than in free systems. A mathematical model was developed for describing the decomposition kinetic behavior of methane hydrates below ice point based on an ice-shielding mechanism in which a porous ice layer was assumed to be formed during the decomposition of hydrate, and the diffusion of methane molecules through it was assumed to be one of the control steps. The parameters of the model were determined by correlating the decomposition rate data, and the activation energies were further determined with respect to three different media. The model was found to well describe the decomposition kinetic behavior of methane hydrate in different media.
