Copolymerization of acrylonitrile with itaconic acid in dimethylformamide: effect of triethylamine

The copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) in dimethylformamide (DMF) was retarded by the presence of itaconic acid (IA) comonomer. Addition of TEA helped overcome the retardation at enhanced concentrations of IA in the feed. The monomer reactivity ratios determined by both terminal and penultimate models revealed that the overall monomer reactivity’s are practically unaffected by the presence of TEA. The penultimate-unit effect for radicals terminated in AN was enhanced by the presence of TEA. Higher TEA concentrations helped regain the reactivities of AN and IA to AN-radical to the state in pure DMF. The penultimate model could explain the feed-copolymer composition profile for the whole range. Whereas IA systematically retarded the polymerization rate at all concentration regime in DMF, it increased the rate at higher IA concentration in DMF/TEA system. For a given IA concentration, the polymerization rate decreased as the solvent is enriched in TEA. The copolymers synthesized in the presence of TEA, manifested higher cyclization temperature and consequently lower char residue, attributed to the incorporation of TEA in the polymer by means of salt formation with IA moiety camouflaging the catalytic effect of the -COOH group in cyclization reaction. ¹³C-NMR studies confirmed the incorporation of the TEA molecules in the polymer chain.     

Resolution of global signals using ratio differential pulse polarograms: Determination of p-nitroaniline and p-nitrotoluene in their mixture

Ratio differential pulse polarograms obtained by dividing the multianalyte and single analyte signals are proposed as a tool for resolution of global signals and quantification of the analytes from a qualitatively known mixture by differential pulse polarography (DPP) and related electroanalytical techniques. The influences of shape and position of the resolving function (DP polarograms of individual analyte) on the efficiency of resolution are discussed on simulated and experimental results. The method is applied for the determination of p-nitroaniline (NA) and p-nitrotoluene (NT) from their mixture in N,N′-dimethylformamide solutions with 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium iodide as supporting electrolyte, using an external calibration diagram and internal standard addition methods. NA and NT give one-electron DP polarographic peaks with 93 mV of peak separation and, therefore, show significant overlapping which depends on the concentration ratio of NA and NT in the mixture. The method is especially suitable for quantification of one analyte in the presence of a large excess of another analyte, because by division the component in excess is removed and the pseudo-ratio DPP of the minor component is clearly revealed in a way which is not possible by deconvolution using polynomial division or deconvolution by Fourier transforms.

金负载量对低温水煤气变换Au/α-Fe2O3催化剂结构和性能的影响

采用共沉淀法制备了低温水煤气变换Au/α-Fe2O3催化剂。通过正交实验优化催化剂的还原活化条件，考察了金负载量对催化剂性能的影响。采用BET、XRD、UV-VIS、XRF、H2-TPR和O2-TPO等表征手段对催化剂的结构进行分析，并与其催化性能进行关联。结果表明，（1）采用10%-H2/N2还原气将催化剂在150 ℃原位还原9 h，其催化活性最高；（2）金的最佳负载量为8.00%，此时在催化剂制备过程中金的流失量较少，金粒子较小，也有利于抑制催化剂在反应过程中烧结；（3）TPR-TPO结果表明，金的负载量为8.00%时，Au/α-Fe2O3催化剂具有较易被还原、不易被氧化的性质，从而显示出最高催化活性。（4）Au/α-Fe2O3催化剂中的金以单质金（Au0）形式存在；其高活性与Au0-Fe3O4间的协同作用有关。     

The Mutual Conversion of CO2 and CO in Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)

Non-equilibrium plasma, which was engendered by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) was used to analyze the mutual conversion between CO₂ and CO. The results showed that the conversion ratio of CO increased monotonously with the increasing voltage. But CO₂ was not so. Its conversion ratio reached maximum when the voltage was 3600 V in Ar system. It also showed that the existence of water molecules was more advanageous for the conversion of CO to CO₂ in Air system than in oxygen system, and the conversion ratio could reach 75.8% when the relative humidity was 100%. We also discussed the energy yield and energy efficiency, and the result was that high voltage and high concentration of reactant was disadvantageous for energy utilization.     

Localization of Iα and Iβ phases in algal cellulose revealed by acid treatments

Highly crystalline I-rich type Cladophora cellulose, which had been kept in never-dried condition, was treated in 60wt% sulfuric acid at 100°C, for 1–48h. The cellulose microcrystals thus obtained were analysed by X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR, and transmission electron microscopy. The I component was found to be more degraded than the I component. The cellulose I/I ratios of the samples acid-treated for 0, 24, and 48 h were about 8:2, 6:4, and 4:6, respectively. After the acid treatment, the microcrystals became narrower in width, and very sharp at their ends. These results indicate that the I phase is mostly located at the surface of the microcrystals, which is morphologically more susceptible to the acid treatment.
