Improving MCM‐41 as a Nitrosamines Trap through a One‐Pot Synthesis

Copper oxide was incorporated into MCM‐41 by a one‐pot synthesis under acidic conditions to prepare a new mesoporous nitrosamines trap for protection of the environment. The resulting composites were characterized by XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption, and H₂ temperature‐programmed reduction techniques, and their adsorption capabilities were assessed in the gaseous adsorption of N‐nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR). The adsorption isotherms were consistent with the Freundlich equation. The copper salt was deposited onto MCM‐41 during the evaporation stage and was fixed on the host in the calcination process that followed. MCM‐41 was able to capture NPYR in air below 373 K but not at 453 K. Loading of copper oxide on MCM‐41 greatly improved its adsorption capability at elevated temperatures. The influence of the incorporation of copper into MCM‐41 samples and the adsorption behavior of these samples are discussed in detail.

C-C bond cleavage of acetonitrile by a dinuclear copper(II) cryptate

The dinuclear copper(II) cryptate [Cu2L](ClO4)4 (1) cleaves the C-C bond of acetonitrile at room temperature to produce a cyanide bridged complex of [Cu2L(CN)](ClO4)3.2CH3CN.4H2O (2). The cleavage mechanism is presented on the basis of the results of the crystal structure of 2, electronic absorption spectra, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and GC spectra of 1, respectively.     

Interaction of Fluorocarbon Containing Hydrophobically Mdified Polyelectrolyte with Nonionic Surfactants

The interaction of fluorocarbon containing hydrophobically modified polyelectrolyte(FMPAANa) with two kinds of nonionic surfactants(hydrogenated and fluorinated)in a semidilute (0.5wt%) aqueous solution had been studied by rheological measurements,Association behavior was found in both systems.The hydrophobic interaction of FMPAANa with fluorinated surfactant(FC171) is much stronger than that with hydrogenated surfactant(NP7.5) at low surfactoant concentrations.The interaction is strengthened by surfactants being added for the density of active junctions increased.Whereas distinct phenomena for FC171 and NP7.5 start to be found as the surfactants added over their respective certain concentration.The interaction of polyelectrolyte with fluorinated surfactant increases dramatical ly while that with hydrogenated surfactant decreases.     

Study of deposition offset in plasma spray of zirconia

Numerical modeling and experimental measurements have been performed to study the effects of powder carrier gas flow rates and powder sizes on the deposition offset in a plasma spray of yttria-stablized zirconia. The mathematical model involved simultaneous solution of the continuity, momentum and energy equations of the plasma gas, the dynamics and heat transfer of powder particles in the plasma, and the coupling effects between the plasma and panicles. Experiments included measurement of particle velocities by laser strobe technique and measurement of deposition offset. Calculated plasma temperatures and velocities are greater than 13,000 K and 2,000 m/s, respectively, in the vicinity of nozzle exit. For the plasma-particle momentum transfer, the drag coefficient was computed in two ways- with corrections accounting for the strongly varying plasma properties, and without these corrections. Calculated and experimental results, in respect to deposition offset, are in agreement to within 25% when calculated without varying properties corrections, and within about 40% with corrections; agreement in respect to average particle velocities is within 20% when calculated without varying properties corrections, and within the range 30–50% with corrections.     

Flow Injection Chemiluminescence for the Determination of Estriol via a Noncompetitive Enzyme Immunoassay

A novel approach to the detection of estriol using a flow injection system coupled to enhanced chemiluminescent immunoassay was developed based on noncompetitive immunoassay formats. A conjugated estriol-ovalbumin immobilized immunoaffinity column was inserted into the flow system to trap the unbound horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibody after an off-line incubation of estriol and HRP-labeled anti-estriol antibody. The trapped enzyme conjugate was detected by the injection of chemiluminescent substrates to produce enhanced chemiluminescence. The linear range for the determination of estriol is 10.0 to 400 ng · mL⁻¹ with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 and a detection limit of 5.0 ng · mL⁻¹. The total time for sampling and chemiluminescent detection of one sample is 400 seconds after 30 min of pre-incubation. The results for pregnancy serum samples obtained by this method are in good agreement with those obtained using ELISA.     

Trace lead measurement and on-line removal of matrix interference in seawater by isotope dilution coupled with flow injection and ICP-MS

Isotope dilution analysis method coupled with flow injection and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-FI-ICP-MS), enabled trace lead concentration in seawater to be determined and the high salt concentration in the matrix, such as Na⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺, to be removed on-line. The operational parameters of the FI system including pH for the chelating reaction, concentration of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (8-HQS), sample loading time and injection speed, washing time and speed, eluting acid concentration and eluting speed, and instrumental parameters for ICP-MS were optimized and selected. Accurate results could be achieved because the isotope ratios required can be precisely measured in the range of the eluting peak by means of ID-FI-ICP-MS. The 3σ detection limit was 0.204 ng ml⁻¹. The trace lead concentration of seawater in south Xiamen, China was 0.988 ± 0.039 ng ml⁻¹. The recoveries of spiked Pb standard in seawater and standard reference water (GBW 08607) were 97.9 and 101.0%, respectively, with a relative standard deviation of 0.98%. This method can be used to determine trace lead concentration in high salt matrix samples, and is especially useful when the eluting peaks do not have a Gaussian-distribution.     

Preconcentration of trace elements from natural water with palladium precipitation

Palladium salts can be used as a coprecipitation carrier for the preconcentration of trace elements from natural water prior to their measurement by atomic spectrometry (AAS). The palladium is subsequently reduced by the introduction of hydrogen gas into the sample solution. The procedure is applied to the determination of Cu, Pb and Cd in seawater (enrichment factor 50) and synthetic water samples. Operating conditions have been optimized for the analysis of real samples. With the technique established an enrichment factor (500 fold) is feasible in synthetic samples. The recoveries of Cu, Cd and Pb from seawater are 95, 103 and 100%, respectively. This simple and rapid method can be applied in a wide pH-range and with complex matrices.     

Transition metal substituted tungstophosphoric compound catalyzed oxidation of hexanol to hexanal with hydrogen peroxide

Summary The oxidation of hexanol in the presence of the Keggin-type heteropoly compounds (HPCs) H₃PMo_nW_12-nO₄₀ (denoted as PMo_nW_12-n, n=0,1) and Na₅PW₁₁ZO₃₉ (denoted as PW₁₁Z, Z = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) was carried out to produce hexanal and hexanoic acid. The reaction was conducted in tert-butanol (t-BuOH), using cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) salts of HPA and 15% aqueous H₂O₂ as oxidant under mild condition. The PMoW₁₁ catalyst showed higher hexanol conversion of 25%, the lowest selectivity to hexanal of 64.4% and an efficient utilization of H₂O₂ of 34%. Over the transition metal substituted PW₁₁Z catalysts decomposition of H₂O₂ was rapid. For these PW₁₁Z catalysts, the efficient utilization of H₂O₂ decreased to 9% or even lower. By means of IR, UV-visible and GC-MS techniques the catalysts were characterized.
