New method for calculating the adsorption of noble gases on amorphous surfaces

A new approach to calculating the equilibrium characteristics of the adsorption of noble gases on the amorphous surfaces of adsorbents was developed and applied to the Ar−TiO₂(rutile) system. Intermolecular adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are taken into account for the nearest neighbors in the quasi-chemical approximation. The lattice energy parameters of all interactions of the model are determined from the Lennard-Jones potential (12-6). The formation of amorphous TiO₂(rutile) surface includes completion of the surface layers and partial removal of the surface oxygen ions. The quality of the amorphization procedure was confirmed by the experimentally measured heats and isotherms of adsorption of the system under study. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

MSINDO study of water adsorption on NiO surfaces

The dissociation of water adsorbed on the surface of NiO was investigated by using the semi-empirical SCF MO method MSINDO. Simulations were based on embedded cluster models representing the (100) surface, with and without a monatomic step. The angle formed between the metal adsorption site and the O–H bond associated with water has been found to be critical to the energetics of the dissociation process. Based on this criterion, it was shown that water dissociation is favorable on the stepped surface, but highly unlikely on the planar surface. In addition, the activation energy required for water dissociation in a monatomic NiO step was considerably lower than for dissociation at the planar surface. The high activation energy associated with water dissociation on the planar surface is attributed to the rigidity of the NiO lattice. Dedicated to Prof. K. Jug in honor of his 65th birthday     

Influence of particle diameter distribution on protein recovery in the expanded bed adsorption process

The General Rate model has been developed and solved to describe protein adsorption in an expanded bed. The model takes into account axial and local variation of particle size distribution (PSD), external and intra-particle mass transfer resistances, and dispersion in liquid phase. The influence of PSD on breakthrough profiles has been analysed. The simulation results show that for a significantly high expanded bed the lower part of the breakthrough curve profiles, calculated for local particle size distribution (LPSD) and for axial average particle size distribution (APSD) are very similar. However, the upper part of breakthrough profiles calculated for LPSD approaches inlet concentration much more slowly than those calculated for APSD. The retention times of the lower part of uptake curves calculated with average particle diameter are constantly shorter than those obtained from LPSD. For the calculation of the dynamic capacity (DC), the LPSD can be replaced by APSD for large expanded bed heights. Using breakthrough profiles calculated for average particle size, DC values are constantly underestimated.

Dependence of Elution Curve and Adsorption Isotherms of Insulin on composition of Mobile Phase of Frontal Analysis in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With frontal analysis(FA),the dependence of adsorption isotherms of insulin on the composition of mobile phase in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) has been investigated,This is also a good example to employ the stoichiometric displacement theory (SDT) for ivestigating solute adsorption in physical chemistry.Six kinds of mobile phase in RPLC were employed to study the effects on the elution curves and adsorption isotherms of insulin.the key points of this paper are:(1) the stability of insulin due to delay time after preparing,the organic solvent concentration,the kind and the concentration of ion-pairing agent in mobile phase were found to affect both elution curve and adsorption isotherm very seriously.(2)To obtain a valid and comparable result,the composition of the mobile phase employed in FA must be as same as possible to that in usual RPLC of either analytical scale or preparative purpose.(3)Langmuir Equation and the SDT were employed to imitate these obtained adsorption isotherms.The expression for solute adsorption from solution of the SDT was found to have a better elucidation to the insulin adsorption from mobile phase in RPLC.     

Decomposition of no on Pd and Ir. Comparison with Pt and Rh

The unimolecular decomposition of NO has been examine on Pd and Ir and they are compared with the corresponding reactions on Pt and Rh. The runs were carried out in a differential flow reactor, at pressures from 0.01 to 5 Torr and temperatures from 500 to 1800 K. It was found that all rates of product formation could be described by Langmuir-Hinshelwood unimolecular rate expression, with an accuracy of±20% und all conditions. The decomposition of NO was virtually identical on Pt and Pd, and on Rh and Ir, but varied widely with temperature between these two groups of metals.     

Photochemical C–N bond forming reactions for the synthesis of five-membered fused N-heterocycles

Abstract

Few conversions cannot take place with ground-state reactions even with the help of a catalyst, therefore they are made to occur under photochemical conditions. The transfer of electrons took place even with the photochemical excitement of one molecule where redox reaction cannot occur at the ground state. The ground-state reactions resulted in the formation of side products. The substrates did not require any sort of chemical activation for C–N bond construction in the course of photochemical reactions. The source of energy; light has always been the interest of researchers in order to induce chemical reactions ever since the starting of scientific chemistry. The present review encloses the chemistry of photochemical transformations with a focus on their synthetic uses. The organic photochemical reactions prevent the polluting or harmful reagents thus, provides a possibility for sustainable procedures as well as green chemistry. This review article displays the formation of numerous of five-membered fused nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds.     

Adsorption-penetration studies of glucose oxidase into phospholipid monolayers at the 1,2-dichloroethane/water interface.

The interaction between glucose oxidase (GOx) and phospholipid monolayers is studied at the 1,2-dichloroethane/water interface by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical experiments show that the presence of GOx induces changes in the capacitance curves at both negative and positive potentials, which are successfully explained by a theoretical model based on the solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. These changes are ascribed to a reduced partition coefficient of GOx and an increase of the permittivity of the lipid hydrocarbon domain. Our results show that the presence of lipid molecules enhances the adsorption of GOx molecules at the liquid/liquid interface. At low lipid concentrations, the adsorption of GOx is probably the first step preceding its penetration into the lipid monolayer. The experimental results indicate that GOx penetrates better and forms more stable monolayers for lipids with longer hydrophobic tails. At high GOx concentrations, the formation of multilayers is observed. The phenomenon described here is strongly dependent on 1) the GOx and lipid concentrations, 2) the nature of the lipid, and 3) the potential drop across the interface.
