Fine structures of zeolite-Linde-L (LTL): surface structures, growth unit and defects

High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) has been used to image the surface structure of nano- and micrometer-sized synthetic crystals of zeolite-Linde-L (LTL). Columnar holes and rotational, nano-sized, wheel-like defects were observed within the crystals, where the hole has a minimum size equal to that of the rotational defect. Predictions of surface structure from atomistic computer simulation concur with the observations from HREM and provide insight into the crystal growth mechanism of perfect and defective LTL. Analysis of the energetics of the formation of rotational defect structures reveals that the driving force for defect creation is thermodynamic and furthermore, the rotational defects could be created in high concentrations. Formation of a columnar hole is found to be slightly energetically unfavourable and therefore we speculate that the incidence of both rotational and nano-sized vacancy defects is strongly dependent on kinetic factors and reaction conditions. The morphology of nano- and microcrystalline LTL is contradistinct and we use insights from simulation to propose an explanation of the disparity in crystal shape.     

Analysis of guanidine in high salt and protein matrices by cation-exchange chromatography and UV detection

A simple and sensitive HPLC method for quantitative determination of guanidine in high salt and protein matrices was developed. The HPLC system consisted of an Agilent 1100 pump with an online degasser, a UV detector, an autosampler, and Dionex CS 14 cation-exchange guard (4 mm x 50 mm) and analytical (4 mm x 250 mm) columns. The mobile phase was 3.75 mM methanesulfonic acid (MSA) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The other analysis parameters were: 50 microL injection volume, 195 nm UV detection, and 21 min runtime. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for guanidine HCl was determined to be 0.25 mg/L and the standard curve ranged from 0.25 mg/L to 10 mg/L. Sample preparation was required for the samples containing high protein concentrations. Proteins were removed by centrifuging a sample in a 30 K NanoSep centrifugal filter at 15,300 x g for 20 min. The method could determine guanidine accurately in sample matrices containing up to 200 mM sodium ion or up to 50 mM potassium ion. The method can be used for clearance testing of guanidine in biopharmaceutical products.     

Hydrogenation of CO over carbides of tungsten

CO hydrogenation on tungsten carbides has been investigated.The methanation activitiesof tungsten carbides are comparable to that of supported Group VIII metal catalysts.Temperature-programmed thermal desorption spectra of CO on tungsten carbide show that CO is adsorbed non-dissociatively,and the surface—CO bond appears to be rather weak.
