A carbon paste electrode modified with chelating resin (ammino-isopropylmercaptan-type cross-linked chelating resins) for the voltammetric determination of gold(III) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The gold(III) ion is accumulated on the surface of the modified electrode only by the chelating effect of the modifier in the carbon paste, without application of a potential. After exchange of the medium the accumulated amount of gold(III) is determined by voltammetry in a blank electrolyte solution. The response depends on both the concentration of gold and the accumulation time. For a 5-min preconcentration time, a linear calibration graph was obtained in the range 3 × 10?8-1 × 10?6 M and the detection limit was about 1 × 10?8 M. A combination of chemical and electrochemical renewal allows the use of a single modified electrode in multiple analytical determinations over several days. For ten preconcentration—determination—renewal cycles [2 × 10?7 M Au(III)], the response could be reproduced with 4.7% relative standard deviation. Many parameters such as the composition of the paste and pH influence the response of the measurement. Many other metal ions have no or little effect on the determination of gold. The procedure was applied to the determination of gold in minerals, copper and anode mud, with good results. 相似文献
The feasibility of producing titanium metal from titanium tetrachloride in a thermal plasma under equilibrium and adiabatic expansion conditions has been theoretically investigated. Free energy minimization and adiabatic expansion calculations to simulate a nozzle expansion were used to study the practicality of production. The crucial requirements for the production of titanium powder from TiCl4 and H2 appear to be rapid quenching of the plasma gas at high temperature (e.g., 3700 K) and appropriate reactant concentrations. Quenching of tire plasma gas and production of titanium powder can be achieved by adiabatic expansion through a nozzle. Preliminary experimental data indicate that titanium powder of approximately 5 nm in size can be produced in an argon plasma rising a nozzle expansion approach. 相似文献
We present a new example of on-off switching using a fluorescent PPi sensor system based on the quencher-fluorophore ensemble, which shows a moderate selectivity for PPi ions among other anions in an aqueous solvent. 相似文献
Syntheses of 5,6,8,9,14,14a-hexahydroisoquino[1,2-b][3]benzazepine-2,3,11,12-tetrol and related compounds are described. Key steps involve an initial construction of the isoquinoline ring under the Bischler-Napieralski conditions, which is followed by the building of the azepine ring via an intramolecular lactam formation on to the isoquinoline nucleus. 相似文献
Mesoporous molecular sieves were synthesized from Beta and Fau zeolite precursors through S+X−I+ route under extremely acidic conditions in parallel (designated as MBeta and MFau, respectively). The textural properties of MFau were different from its MBeta counterpart but resembled normal MCM-41 silica from TEOS. Al content in MBeta was almost equivalent to that in the initial Beta zeolite precursors, whereas only trace Al species was present in MFau from elemental analysis results. The hydrothermal stability of MBeta after post-synthesis ammonia treatment was considerably improved compared with normal MCM-41 aluminosilicates, whereas the MFau after the same procedure was as unstable as normal MCM-41 silica. Thus, the assembly behaviors of Beta and Fau zeolite precursors were comparatively studied based on these results. The microstructure of Fau zeolite precursors were degraded by the extremely acidic condition, and Al species was dissolved into the synthesis mixture. However, Beta zeolite precursors survived the chemical attack of extremely acidic media and were incorporated into mesostructured framework as primary building units. 相似文献
The cover picture shows a typical building within the Campus of Xiamen University displaying Chen Jiageng (Tan Kah Kee)'s style. Just like many beautiful buildings designed and constructed by human, Nature “designs and constructs” a huge number of useful molecules with fascinating structures called natural products. Many natural products possess a fused six or seven‐membered carbocyclic unity. On page 315–322, the Huang's group disclosed a three‐step “[2+n]” annulation method for the construction of fused six and seven‐membered carbocyclic enimines and enones. The method starts from simple cyclic ketones and terminal olefinic amides, and relies on both the Suzuki coupling reaction and the olefin‐amide based Friedel‐Crafts type acylating reaction, a method developed by Huang and coworkers.
