Solvent extraction of uranium(VI) with benzyloctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BODMAC) from highly concentrated chloride solution

The ²²²Rn emanation fraction (EF) released from the technically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material (TE-NORM) wastes at certain sites of petroleum and gas production was determined. The samples were analyzed by γ-ray spectrometry to determine the activity concentration of the ²²⁶Ra content, of which the ²²²Rn emanation fraction was calculated. The results showed that the ²²²Rn emanation fraction differs in the oil and gas production sites and it is independent of the activity concentration of ²²⁶Ra.

A comparison between the SBR vulcanizates reinforced by magnesium methacrylate added directly or prepared in situ

The styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) cured by dicumyl peroxide was reinforced by magnesium methacrylate [Mg(MAA)₂], which was added into SBR directly or prepared in situ in SBR through the neutralization of magnesium oxide (MgO) and methacrylic acid (MAA). The experimental results show that the SBR vulcanizates reinforced by Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ have better mechanical properties than those reinforced by Mg(MAA)₂ added directly. The SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ are semi-transparent, but those with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly are opaque. The Fourier transform infrared analysis shows that the polymerization conversion of Mg(MAA)₂ in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ is much higher than that in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly. The scan probe microscopy photographs show that the particles in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ are much finer and disperse more evenly than that in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly.     

Liquid chromatographic enantiomer resolution of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl alpha-amino acids and their ester derivatives on polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases

The liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) protected alpha-amino acids and their ethyl ester derivatives was performed on polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases, Chiralcel OD, Chiralpak AD, and Chiralpak AS. In general, Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD showed good performance for resolution of N-FMOC alpha-amino acids and their ethyl esters, respectively. All investigated N-FMOC alpha-amino acid enantiomers were baseline separated on Chiralcel OD or Chiralpak AD, whereas N-FMOC alpha-amino acid ethyl ester enantiomers were baseline resolved (alpha = 1.15-3.03) on Chiralpak AD, except for two analytes. The L-enantiomers of all examined FMOC alpha-amino acid ethyl ester derivatives are preferentially retained on Chiralpak AD, while the elution orders of the other enantiomer separations are not consistent.

Interface characteristics in diffusion bonding of Fe3Al with Cr18-Ni8 stainless steel

Fe3Al and Cr18-Ni8 stainless steel were diffusion-bonded in vacuum and a Fe3Al/Cr18-Ni8 interface with reaction layer was formed. Microstructure in the reaction layer at Fe3Al/Cr18-Ni8 interface was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA). The growth of reaction layer with heating temperature (T) and holding time (t) was researched. The results indicate that FeAl, Fe3Al, Ni3Al, and alpha-Fe (Al) solid solution are formed in the reaction layer. These phases are favorable to promote the element diffusion and to accelerate the formation of the reaction layer at Fe3Al/Cr18-Ni8 interface. The growth of reaction layer obeys the parabolic law and its thickness (X) is expressed by X2 = 7.5 x 10(-4)exp(-83.59/RT)(t - t0).

Use of on-line mass spectrometric detection in capillary electrochromatography

Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a liquid phase analytical separation technique that is generally carried out with packed capillary columns by electroosmotically driven mobile phase at high electric field strength. The analytes are separated by virtue of the differences in their distribution between the mobile and stationary phases and, if charged in their electrophoretic mobilities as well. It is thus considered a hybrid of liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis and is expected to combine the high peak efficiency of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with the versatility and loading capacity of HPLC. This review explores the potential use of on-line mass spectrometric detection for CEC. It discusses key design issues that focus on the physical and electrical arrangement of the CEC column with respect to the electrospray orifice inlet. The salient features of the sheathless, sheath flow and liquid junction interfaces that are frequently employed while coupling a CEC column to an electrospray ionization mass spectrometry system are also highlighted. Possible configurations of the CEC column outlet that would obviate the need for pressurizing the capillary column are also presented. While coupling CEC with MS both the nature of the interface and the configuration of the column outlet will determine the optimal arrangement. The review also discusses bandspreading that occurs when a connecting tube is employed to transfer mobile phase from the column outlet to the atmospheric region of the electrospray source with a concomitant loss in sensitivity. Selected examples that highlight the potential of this technique for a wide range of applications are also presented.     

丙烯环氧化反应的高活性钼催化剂

在钼(Ⅵ),钒(Ⅴ)和钛(Ⅳ)等化合物存在下,丙烯与烷基过氧化氢的环氧化反应比传统的氯醇法有很多优点,其中以钼催化剂的性能最优,但目前报道的催化剂在反应过程中因易分解而降低了活性,并且丙烯与烷基过氧化氢的投料比过大(>3:1),丙烯循环次数过多。前文报道了钼烷基醇胺化合物对环已烯的环氧化反应,本文考察了钼烷基醇胺化合物对丙烯与叔丁基过氧化氢环氧化反应的催化性能。     

Preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol-capped CdSe nanoparticles at room temperature

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-capped CdSe nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a one-step solution growth technique at room temperature and ambient pressure. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectra were used to characterize the final product. The as-prepared CdSe nanocrystals were well dispersed and uniform in shape and the diameter of the particles was confined within 8 nm. Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra were used to study the confined growth process of PVA-capped CdSe nanoparticles. Photoluminescence measurement showed the near band-edge luminescence of the final product.
