Hydrogen and noble gas interactions with iron nano-flakes

Exposure of pure iron nano-flakes to hydrogen generates a high heat evolution associated with hydrogen uptakes shown by flow-through microcalorimetry. A large part of the hydrogen was found to be irreversibly absorbed by the iron flakes at 220 °C and atmospheric pressure, but an increased desorption of hydrogen was achieved by noble gases, such as helium and argon. Thus the iron surfaces displayed strong affinity for hydrogen, but also, surprisingly, for the noble gases, which were found to be able to displace hydrogen from the iron surfaces.The uptake of hydrogen by the iron flakes was observed to reach 9 wt.% after exposure for 5 h, which may be of interest in hydrogen storage applications. Desorption with the help of argon may provide an acceptable method of hydrogen recovery.     

Phytochemical Study on Some Polyphenols of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Geranium pyrenaicum</Emphasis>

In order to continue our previous studies concerning Geranium pyrenaicum Burm. (Geraniaceae), we have performed spectrophotometric determinations and a HPLC study of some polyphenols. We have analyzed the dried Geranii pyrenaici herba (harvested from Cluj-Napoca, district of Cluj, Romania). We have established the content in flavonoids (0.316%), phenolic acids (0.099%), tannins (5.295%), and anthocyanins (12.030 mg/100 g vegetal product). We have identified and measured by HPLC the following compounds: hyperoside (21.61 μg/100 mg), ellagic acid (1810.44 μg/100 mg), isoquercitrine (11.197 μg/100 mg), and caftaric acid (76.83 μg/100 mg). We have also analyzed by HPLC a hydrolyzed sample of the same drug in which we have identified and measured: ellagic acid (4139.33 μg/100 mg), quercetol (29.65 μg/100 mg), kaempherol (41.48 μg/100 mg), and caftaric acid (20.721 μg/100 mg). __________ Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 322–324, July–August, 2005.     

微波消解-磷钼蓝分光光度法测定钨矿石中的磷含量

针对钨矿石中的微量元素磷,采用混合酸快速微波消解结合磷钼蓝分光光度法进行测定。经选择优化样品的微波消解和实验测定条件,结果表明:HCl+HNO3+HF的混合酸微波消解后的样品,在硫酸介质中,有钼酸铵存在时,用抗坏血酸将磷还原成磷钼蓝络合物,在825nm处比色测定。方法的加标回收率为98.9%~101.6%,结果准确可靠。硅在熔样过程中挥发除去不会干扰测定,砷会干扰实验,可在酸介质中加入碘化钾,使砷还原至低价而不干扰磷的测定。

Parallel vector analysis based soft resolution of spectral data from pH‐metric titration using symmetry constraint

In this study, a soft method is proposed to calculate concentration and spectral profiles for the two‐way spectral data from dissociation equilibria of polyprotic acids (H_nA). This method has four main distinct steps: (i) a fixed size moving window evolving factor analysis (FSMWEFA) was used to identify the local rank map, (ii) WFA was applied to calculate the concentration profiles of H_nA and Aⁿ⁻ (selection of the window for application of WFA was performed using EFA), (iii) PVA was used to calculate H_{n − 1}A to HA spectral profiles, and (iv) a symmetry constraint, in addition to the non‐negativity constraint, was utilized to obtain the unique concentration and spectral profiles from different acceptable sets of profiles. In the absence of any selective region in the spectral data, the proposed soft method resulted in unique solution without rotational ambiguity. This study is the first application of symmetry constraint on concentration profiles. The rotational ambiguity drastically decreased on considering the constraint of symmetry of the H_{n − 1}A and HA concentration profiles, in addition to non‐negativity of profiles. Simulated examples were used to confirm these approaches. Effect of closeness of dissociation constants on the estimated values of constants was investigated. The results showed that when the difference between pK_a values is more than 1.2, the obtained errors in the estimation of pK_a values are less than about 6.5%. The considered real data were from pH‐metric titration of fluorescein. The obtained spectral and concentration profiles and the estimated pK_a values for fluorescein were in good agreement with the previously reported data. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mathematics in chemistry: indeterminate forms and their meaning

The mathematical language and its tools are complementary to the formalism in chemistry, in particular at an advanced level. It is thus crucial, for its understanding, that students acquire a solid knowledge in Calculus and that they know how to apply it. The frequent occurrence of indeterminate forms in multiple areas, particularly in Physical Chemistry, justifies the need to properly understand the limiting process in such cases. This article emphasizes the importance of the L’Hôpital's rule as a practical tool, although often neglected, to obtain the more common indeterminate limits, through the use of some specific examples as the radioactive decay, spectrophotometric error, Planck's radiation law, second-order kinetics, or consecutive reactions.
