Non-chromatographic atomic spectrometric methods in speciation analysis: A review

In recent years, knowledge of the different chemical forms of the elements has gained increasing importance. There has been significant progress in methods that hyphenate chromatographic separations with atomic spectrometry. These hyphenated methods can provide the most complete information on the species distribution and even structure. However, they can be lengthy, relatively costly and difficult to bring to the routine. On the other hand, it is important to remember that chromatographic techniques represent only a minor part of the separation procedures available and, in certain cases, the application of basic chemistry to sample treatments can give quantitative information about specific chemical forms. In this sense, non-chromatographic procedures can provide methods that offer sufficient information on the elemental speciation for a series of situations. Moreover, these non-chromatographic strategies can be less time consuming, more cost effective and available, and present competitive limits of detection. Thus, non-chromatographic speciation analysis continues to be a promising research area and has been applied to the development of several methodologies that facilitate this type of analytical approach. In view of their importance, the present work overviews and discusses different non-chromatographic methods as alternatives for the speciation analysis of clinical, environmental and food samples using atomic spectrometry for detection.     

Characterization of ammonium dichromate doped PVA films based waveguides

We report here the study of refractive index and Propagation loss of ammonium dichromate doped poly (vinyl alcohol) thin films by using a prism coupling technique. Transmissions of the doped films have been measured. It has been observed that doping of ammonium dichromate increase the refractive index. Propagation losses are found to decrease up to dye concentration 0.02% and thereafter increase rapidly.     

Effects of Aluminum on Thermal Decomposition of Hexogen/Ammonium Perchlorate

Thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry-mass spectrometry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry（TG-DSC-MS-FTIR） simultaneous analysis was used to study the effects of 10.7 μm and 40 nm Al on the thermal decomposition of the Hexogen/ammonium perchlorate（RDX/AP,1/2,mass ratio） mixture.TG-DSC results show that there are two mass loss processes for the thermal decomposition of RDX/AP/Al.The first one is mainly ascribed to the thermal decomposition of RDX.The reaction rate of RDX/AP/10.7 μm Al is so fast that the apparent activation energy,calculated by model-free Friedman method,is negative,which is the same as that of RDX/AP.30％（mass fraction） 40 nm Al added in RDX/AP change the activation energy from negative to positive value.The second mass loss process of the RDX/AP/A1 mixture is ascribed to the thermal decomposition of AP.This process can be divided into three stages for RDX/AP with and without Al.The kinetics model is not changed in the presence of micro-sized Al,while it is changed from CnB/D1/D1 to CnB/D1/D4 after the addition of 40 nm Al to RDX/AP.The reaction rate constant of the first stage and the end temperature of the second stage decrease,while the end temperatures of the third stage increase in the presence of 40 nm Al.The MS-FTIR results show there is a competition between the formation reactions of HNCO,N2O and NO2 during the second mass loss process.     

氢催化的二硝酰胺铵热分解的从头算分子动力学研究

Thermal decomposition of a famous high oxidizer ammonium dinitramide (ADN) under high temperatures (2000 and 3000 K) was studied by using the ab initio molecular dynamics method.Two different temperature-dependent initial decomposition mechanisms were observed in the unimolecular decomposition of ADN,which were the intramolecular hydrogen transfer and N-NO₂ cleavage in N (NO₂)^-.They were competitive at 2000 K,whereas the former one was predominant at 3000 K.As for the multimolecular decomposition of ADN,four different initial decomposition reactions that were also temperature-dependent were observed.Apart from the aforementioned mechanisms,another two new reactions were the intermolecular hydrogen transfer and direct N-H cleavage in NH₄⁺.At the temperature of 2000 K,the N-NO₂ cleavage competed with the rest three hydrogen-related decomposition reactions,while the direct N-H cleavage in NH₄⁺ was predominant at 3000 K.After the initial decomposition,it was found that the temperature increase could facilitate the decomposition of ADN,and would not change the key decomposition events.ADN decomposed into small molecules by hydrogen-promoted simple,fast and direct chemical bonds cleavage without forming any large intermediates that may impede the decomposition.The main decomposition products at 2000 and 3000 K were the same,which were NH₃,NO₂,NO,N₂O,N₂,H₂O,and HNO₂.

Photocatalytic Activity of N-doped TiO2 Photocatalysts Prepared from the Molecular Precursor (NH4)2TiO(C2O4)2

We developed a novel approach for the preparation of N-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts by calcining ammonium titanium oxalate at different temperatures. The structures of N-TiO₂ were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The N-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts calcined below 700 oC are the pure anatase phase but that calcined at 700 oC is a mixture of anatase and rutile phases. The doped N locates at the interstitial site of TiO₂ which leads to the narrowing of bad gap of pure anatase N-TiO₂. Among all photocatalysts, N-TiO₂ photocatalysts calcined at 600 and 400 oC exhibit the best performance in the photodegradation of methyl orange under the UV light and all-wavelength light illuminations, respectively; however, because of the perfect crystallinity and the existence of anatase-rutile phase junctions, N-TiO₂ photocatalyst calcined at 700 oC exhibits the highest specific photodegradation rate, i.e., the highest quantum yield, under both the UV light and all-wavelength light illuminations.     

甲酸铵催化转移氢化还原肽链中的芳香硝基——对氨基苯丙氨酸的间接引入

研究了用甲酸铵催化转移氢化法(AF-CTH)对不同类型肽中的芳香硝基的还原行为, 这些肽类化合物包括促黑激素(MSH: 四肽)、促黄体素释放激素(LHRH: 十肽)和强腓肽(十七肽)的类似物. 用HPLC对还原过程进行了跟踪监测, 结果显示, 除含对氯苯丙氨酸残基的LHRH类似物因发生脱氯副反应不适合用AF-CTH还原外, 其余序列还原过程中均无明显副反应发生, 硝基几乎定量地转化成为相应的氨基, 实现了对氨基苯丙氨酸向肽链的间接引入. 另外发现, 硝基还原所需的时间与肽链长度有关, 肽链越长, 还原所需时间越长, 但与其在序列中的位置关系不明显.
