The effect of ionic strength on the diffusion of 125I in Gaomiaozi bentonite

The diffusion of ¹²⁵I^? in compacted Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite was investigated by capillary in-diffusion method. Apparent and effective diffusion coefficients and accessible porosity of iodide in GMZ bentonite were obtained, and the effect of ionic strength on diffusion parameters was studied. The apparent diffusion coefficients of iodide in compacted GMZ bentonite are in the range of 1.0–6.0 × 10^?10 m² s^?1 under the conditions of dry bulk density 1,500 kg m^?3 and temperature 298 K, and increase with increasing ionic strength. This effect was explained through the analysis of microscopic structure of compacted bentonite. The iodide can only diffuse in unbound interparticle pore solution of compacted bentonite. The apparent diffusion coefficient is a function of accessible porosity which is decided by the thickness of diffusion double layer, and the thickness is in turn controlled by ionic strength.     

Kinetics for the Reaction between Potassium Ferricyanide and Cobalt Chloride in Aqueous Solution and Microemulsion

The kinetics for the reaction between potassium ferricyanide (K₃Fe(CN)₆) and cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) in aqueous solution and water/bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccianate (AOT)/isooctane microemulsions were studied by three-wavelength spectrophotometry at 298.2 K. The second-order rate constants (k₂) were calculated from the time dependence of the concentration of reactant K₃Fe(CN)₆. The result showed that the reaction rates in water/AOT/isooctane microemulsions were slower than that in the aqueous solution, and k₂ decreased with molar ratio (ω) of water to AOT in microemulsions, which was interpreted by the transition state theory and confirmed that the reaction took place at the interfaces of the microemulsion water pools.     

Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Pt3Co/Fe3O4 Nanocomposites

Bimagnetic Pt₃Co/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite is synthesized in aqueous solution. The nanoparticles are characterized with TEM, FTIR, and magnetic measurements. The as‐synthesized nanocomposite exhibits ferromagnetic properties at room temperature due to the exchange coupling between Pt₃Co and Fe₃O₄. Magnetic properties of Pt₃Co/Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle can be tuned by varying of the molar ratio of iron to platinum. Pt₃Co/Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles exhibit higher saturation magnetization when the molar ratio of iron to platinum is 1.     

Plutonium-239 sorption and transport on/in unsaturated sediments: comparison of batch and column experiments for determining sorption coefficients

Sorption (distribution) coefficients of plutonium were most often derived by static batch experiments. However, it is not clear how unsaturated flow conditions including moisture content and pore water velocity change the sorption coefficients. Transport experiments of plutonium through the unsaturated sediments packed into the columns were then performed in order to determine the sorption coefficients (column-K _ds). Static batch experiments were also conducted to obtain batch-K _ds and then compare the differences between batch-K _ds and column-K _ds. The results show that unsaturated flow conditions had no significant effect on column-K _ds, and the average column-K _d value was 1.74 ± 0.02 m³/kg. By comparison, batch-K _d values spanned several orders of magnitude, regardless of the specified liquid–solid conditions. Moreover, the batch-K _d (22.7 m³/kg) at the standard L/S (4 mL/g) recommended by ASTM D 4319 was over an order of magnitude larger than the average column-K _d.

Synthesis and characterization of side chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers derived from chiral bisolefinic crosslinking units

In this work we prepared a nematic monomer (4′‐allyloxybiphenyl 4′‐ethoxybenzoate, M₁ ), a chiral crosslinking agent (isosorbide 4‐allyloxybenzoyl bisate, M₂ ) and a series of new side chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers derived from M₁ and M₂ . The chemical structures of the monomers and polymers were confirmed by FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarizing optical microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The effect of the content of the crosslinking unit on phase behaviour of the elastomers is discussed. Polymer P₁ showed a nematic phase, P₂ –P₇ showed a cholesteric phase; P₆ formed a blue Grandjean texture over a broad temperature range 145–209.6°C, with no changed on the cooling. Polymers P₄ –P₇ , with more than 6?mol?% of chiral crosslinking agent, gave rise to selective reflection. Elastomers containing less than 15?mol?% of the crosslinking units displayed elasticity, reversible phase transition with wide mesophase temperature ranges, and high thermal stability. Experimental results demonstrated that, with increasing content of crosslinking agent, the glass transition temperatures first fell and then increased; the isotropization temperatures and mesophase temperature ranges decreased.     

Effect of Inorganic Ions on the Oxidation of Methyl Violet with Gliding Arc Plasma Discharge

Gliding arc discharge process was used for the treatment of methyl violet wastewater. First, the intermediate products were studied by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and ultraviolet–visible spectrometer. Second, the effects of inorganic anions including chloride (Cl^?), carbonate (CO₃ ^2?), sulfate (SO₄ ^2?), phosphate (PO₄ ^3?), nitrate (NO₃ ^?) on the degradation efficiency of methyl violet were examined. The research results indicated that hydroxyl radicals attacked carbon atom that situated in the center of dye molecule, and the conjugating structure of methyl violet was destroyed, and dye was degraded and decolored, so a possible degradation pathway was proposed by the analysis of intermediate products detected. The methyl violet degradation rate decreased with increasing anions concentrations, and their order of sequence according to the inhibition reaction was CO₃ ^2? > Cl^? > SO₄ ^2? > NO₃ ^?.     

Isolation and Characterization of Urethanase from Penicillium variabile and Its Application to Reduce Ethyl Carbamate Contamination in Chinese Rice Wine

A strain with urethanase activity was isolated from mouse gastrointestine. By combination of morphological characterization of the colony, hyphae, and spore and the sequence analysis of its rDNA ITS, the strain was determined as Penicillium variabile and named as P. variabile JN-A525. The enzymatic properties of urethanase from P. variabile JN-A525 were further studied. The optimum temperature and pH value of urethanase are of 50 °C and 6.0, respectively. The enzyme maintains stability when the temperature is below 50 °C and the pH is in the range of 7.0–10.0. The enzyme also exhibits ethanol tolerance. It can remove ethyl carbamate from Chinese rice wine without the change of flavor substances in the wine.
