Conductance of potassium halides near the temperature of maximum density of water

The conductances of dilute aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr, and KI have been measured over the temperature range 2 to 8°C and have been analyzed by the Fuoss-Hsia equation. The ionic Walden products at infinite dilution have been discussed in terms of local viscosity. The temperature dependence of these products suggest that near the temperature of maximum density of water, the structure-breaking ability of these ions changes in a regular way.     

A front-tracking/ghost-fluid method for fluid interfaces in compressible flows

A front-tracking/ghost-fluid method is introduced for simulations of fluid interfaces in compressible flows. The new method captures fluid interfaces using explicit front-tracking and defines interface conditions with the ghost-fluid method. Several examples of multiphase flow simulations, including a shock–bubble interaction, the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability, the Rayleigh–Taylor instability, the collapse of an air bubble in water and the breakup of a water drop in air, using the Euler or the Navier–Stokes equations, are performed in order to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the new method. The computational results are compared with experiments and earlier computational studies. The results show that the new method can simulate interface dynamics accurately, including the effect of surface tension. Results for compressible gas–water systems show that the new method can be used for simulations of fluid interface with large density differences.     

基于灰度关联分析的冬小麦叶片含水量高光谱估测

尝试应用灰色关联分析方法(GRA)分析典型的水分植被指数(WVI)和水分含量(LWC)间的关联度,然后选择对冬小麦叶片水含量敏感的指数,比较SRM-PLS(逐步回归-偏最小二乘)方法和PLS方法估算LWC的精度。首先,对冬小麦WVI与LWC进行灰色关联分析,筛选出对冬小麦LWC敏感的WVI;其次,利用筛选出的敏感WVI,分别用PLS-SRM方法和PLS两种方式估算冬小麦LWC;然后对两种方式进行比较,选择最高决定系数(R2)和最小均方根误差(RMSE)的LWC估算模型来估算冬小麦LWC。结果表明：在整个生育期用PLS和PLS-SRM方法估算LWC, R2和RMSE分别为0.605和0.575,4.75%和7.35%。研究表明：先使用GRA对WVI和LWC进行关联度分析,再用PLS或PLS-SRM方法可以提高冬小麦的LWC估算精度。     

THE ADSORPTION BEHAVIORS OF TOLUENE ON HYPERCROSSLINKED RESINS

1. INTRODUCTION Toluene has been widely used for many industrial purposes. Owing to their toxicity and recalcitrance, the presence of toluene in the natural environment, especially in the groundwater, has been a great concern. The removal of toluene is of…     

Adsorption-energetic and IR spectroscopic studies of NH4 natrolite

The ammonium form of natural zeolite, natrolite, obtained by vapor phase ion exchange is similar to calcium-containing zeolites of the natrolite group in its de- and rehydration characteristics and the heats of immersion in water. The adsorption capacity and the heat of immersion in water are maximum after evacuation of the zeolite at 200 °C. The irreversible sintering of NH₄ natrolite occurs above 200 °C (up to 45% at 500 °C), accompanied by the formation of hydroxyl groups. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Multicomponent analysis of drinking water by a voltammetric electronic tongue

A voltammetric electronic tongue is described that was used for multicomponent analysis of drinking water. Measurements were performed on drinking water from a tap and injections of the compounds NaCl, NaN₃, NaHSO₃, ascorbic acid, NaOCl and yeast suspensions could be identified by use of principal component analysis (PCA). A model based on partial least square (PLS) was developed for the simultaneously prediction of identification and concentration of the compounds NaCl, NaHSO₃ and NaOCl. By utilizing this type of non-selective sensor technique for water quality surveillance, it will be feasible to detect a plurality of events without the need of a specific sensor for each type of event.     

A novel method of the separation/preconcentration and determination of trace molybdenum(VI) in water samples using microcrystalline triphenylmethane loaded with salicyl fluorone

It is the first time that triphenylmethane was used as an adsorbent to preconcentrate and separate trace amount of molybdenum in water samples. The effects of different parameters, such as acidity, stirring time and various metal ions, the amounts of triphenylmethane and salicyl fluorine, etc. on the enrichment yield of molybdenum have been studied to optimize the experimental conditions. Under the optimum conditions, molybdenum can be adsorbed on the surface of microcrystalline triphenylmethane loaded with salicyl fluorone by the intermolecular action strength. The possible reaction mechanism for the enrichment of molybdenum was discussed in detail in this paper. Mo(VI) can be completely separated from Pb(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Hg(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(III) and Al(III) in the solution. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amount of molybdenum in various water samples by spectrophotometry after preconcentration using microcrystalline triphenylmethane. The preconcentration factor is from 83 (500 ml water sample was enriched to 6.0 ml) to 166 (1000 ml water sample was enriched to 6.0 ml). The detection limit is 1.3 × 10⁻⁵ mg l⁻¹ and the linearity is maintained in the concentration range 3.8 × 10⁻³ to 0.36 mg l⁻¹ with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The recoveries are in the range of 93.5-104%. The relative standard deviation is 1.8-2.9%. Analytical results obtained with this novel method are very satisfactory.     

Reaction of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide and sodium iodide: a nonenzymatic biogenic-like approach to iodohydrins

An efficient protocol to synthesize iodohydrins from alkenes is presented. Reactions were conducted in aqueous media using safe and readily available sodium iodide (the most abundant form of the element), and a highly convenient oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide. Addition of a protic acid triggers a faster and efficient process, a role formally related to that played by haloperoxidase enzymes in naturally occurring transformations. The successful application of these conditions to multigram scale preparations and over natural products derivatives is also discussed.
