Crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) modified with tetraalkylammonium salts as phase transfer catalyst

Radiation crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide)s (PEO) modified with two tetraalkylammonium salts: allyldimethyldodecylammonium bromide and ethylmethacrylate dimethyldodecylammonium bromide were prepared. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectra, and DSC measurements. Their activity as phase transfer catalysts (PTC) in the model displacement reaction of 1-bromooctane with aqueous sodium cyanide were studied. The reaction kinetics were followed under pseudo-first-order conditions. Small amounts of onium salt inserted into the PEO network gave rise to a five time increase in the rate constant. The recovered catalysts could be re-used without loss of activity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Efficient Oxidation of Cyclohexane over Bulk Nickel Oxide under Mild Conditions

Nickel oxide powder was prepared by simple calcination of nickel nitrate hexahydrate at 500 °C for 5 h and used as a catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane to produce the cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol—KA oil. Molecular oxygen (O₂), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), t-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) and meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) were evaluated as oxidizing agents under different conditions. m-CPBA exhibited higher catalytic activity compared to other oxidants. Using 1.5 equivalent of m-CPBA as an oxygen donor agent for 24 h at 70 °C, in acetonitrile as a solvent, NiO powder showed exceptional catalytic activity for the oxidation of cyclohexane to produce KA oil. Compared to different catalytic systems reported in the literature, for the first time, about 85% of cyclohexane was converted to products, with 99% KA oil selectivity, including around 87% and 13% selectivity toward cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, respectively. The reusability of NiO catalyst was also investigated. During four successive cycles, the conversion of cyclohexane and the selectivity toward cyclohexanone were decreased progressively to 63% and 60%, respectively, while the selectivity toward cyclohexanol was increased gradually to 40%.     

GO-SWCNT Buckypapers as an Enhanced Technology for Water Decontamination from Lead

Water decontamination is an important challenge resulting from the incorrect disposal of heavy metal waste into the environment. Among the different available techniques (e.g., filtration, coagulation, precipitation, and ion-exchange), adsorption is considered the cheapest and most effective procedure for the removal of water pollutants. In the last years, several materials have been tested for the removal of heavy metals from water, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and graphene oxide (GO). Nevertheless, their powder consistency, which makes the recovery and reuse after adsorption difficult, is the main drawback for these materials. More recently, SWCNT buckypapers (SWCNT BPs) have been proposed as self-standing porous membranes for filtration and adsorption processes. In this paper, the adsorption capacity and selectivity of Pb²⁺ (both from neat solutions and in the presence of other interferents) by SWCNT BPs were evaluated as a function of the increasing amount of GO used in their preparation (GO-SWCNT buckypapers). The highest adsorption capacity, 479 ± 25 mg g⁻¹, achieved for GO-SWCNT buckypapers with 75 wt.% of graphene oxide confirmed the effective application of such materials for cheap and fast water decontamination from lead.     

Photoelectrochemical Properties of Annealed Anodic TiO2 Layers Covered with CuOx

In this work, we present a systematic study on the influence of Cu²⁺ ion concentration in the impregnation solution on the morphology, structure, optical, semiconducting, and photoelectrochemical properties of anodic CuO_x-TiO₂ materials. Studied materials were prepared by immersion in solutions with different concentrations of (CH₃COO)₂Cu and subjected to air-annealing at 400 °C, 500 °C, or 600 °C for 2 h. The complex characterization of all studied samples was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), reflectance measurements, Mott–Schottky analyses, and photocurrent measurements. It was found that band gap engineering based on coupling CuO with TiO₂ (E_g~3.3 eV) is an effective strategy to increase the absorption in visible light due to band gap narrowing (CuO_x-TiO₂ materials had E_g~2.4 eV). Although the photoactivity of CuO-TiO₂ materials decreased in the UV range due to the deposition of CuO on the TiO₂ surface, in the Vis range increased up to 600 nm at the same time.

Kurze Originalmitteilungen Ein neues Lanthan-140-Generatorsystem

Neben ihrer breiten Anwendung in der Nuklearmedizin gewinnen Radionuklidgeneratoren zunehmend auch für die verfahrensctechnische Forsehung Bedeutung. Es konnte gezeigt warden, daß die Generatorsysteme ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTe und ¹¹³Sn/^113mI für zahlreiche Untersuchungen von Transportund Mischvorgängen in technischen Anlagen genutzt warden könnea [1, 2].

Der Radionuklidgenerator ¹¹⁰Ba/¹¹⁰La hat für den Einsatz in der Technik günstigere Eigenschaftcn als die für die Nuklearmedizin entwickelten Generatoren. Insbesondere für die Untersuchung der Materialtransportvorgänge in Polykondensationsreaktoren der Chemiefaserindustrie hat sich ein Lanthan-140-Generator gut bewährt, der mit Tributylphosphat (gesättigt mit 13 N HN03) als Elutionsmittel arbeitet [3, 4].
