A novel approach for introducing particulate matter into thermal plasmas: The triple-cathode arc

A coalesced high-intensity dc discharge is maintained between three cathodes and a single anode, stabilized by using resistors on each cathode leg. Jets of plasma gas are produced from either the cathode area or the anode area of the device. Cathode jets are generated by the self-induced pumping at the cathode tips and augmented by central gas injection. Arc voltage-current characteristics show classical convection-stabilized arc behavior. Anode heat transfer rates may be substantially increased by central gas injection toward the anode. Temperature fields in the coalesced, axially symmetric portion of the arc are determined spectrometrically and compared to those of a classical single-cathode free-burning arc.     

改性壳聚精膜用于醇水混合液分离的研究──Ⅲ．超细粉末填充壳聚精膜

首次制备了用Ｓｉ３Ｎ４，ＳｉＯ２，ＴｉＨ４超细粉末填充的改性壳聚精膜，并将其用于乙醇／水混合液的分离中。实验表明壳聚糖膜经超细粉末填充后强度增大，溶胀度减小。用于乙醇／水混合液渗透蒸发分离时，分离因子和渗透通量都有提高，并在填充量为１６．７％附近出现极大值。随着料液中乙醇含量的增大，渗透通量减小，分离因子增大；随着料液温度的升高渗透通量显著增大，分离因子则稍有下降。并简单讨论了超细粉末在乙醇／水混合液分离中的作用。     

Formation of a disordered layer lattice during the intercalation of water into anhydrous vanadyl phosphate

The course of intercalation of water into ₁-VOPO₄ has been studied by thermomechanical analysis and X-ray diffraction. Neither formation of vanadyl phosphate monohydrate nor staging were observed during the intercalation. The broadening and the shift of the positions of the lines in the diffractograms have been explained by the random stacking of intercalated and nonintercalated layers in the sample.     

Multi-element characterization of silicon nitride powders by atomic and mass spectrometric solution methods

A sample pretreatment technique for silicon nitride involving digestion and matrix/traces separation was developed by means of radiotracers and applied to analysis of this material by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The results obtained for a high purity silicon nitride material by these methods are compared each with the other and with those obtained by neutron activation analysis. The limits of detection and the capabilities of the methods are compared and discussed.     

Kristallstrukturanalyse von Ammonium-catena-polyphosphat II mit Röntgenpulvertechniken

Crystal Structure Determination of Ammonium catena-Polyphosphate II by X-Ray Powder Techniques The first structure determination of one of the five modifications of ammonium-catena-polyphosphate was performed using X-ray powder diffraction data. (NH₄PO₃)_nII is formed by phase transformation of (NH₄PO₃)_nI which on its part is obtained by condensation of NH₄H₂PO₄ at 200°C in presence of urea. Modification II crystallizes in P2₁2₁2₁ (a = 1 207.9(1), b = 648.87(8), c = 426.20(4) pm; Z = 4; 291 observed reflections; R(p) = 0.089; R(wp) = 0.111; R(I, hkl) = 0.088). The chain-anion runs parallel to the shortest axis, the period of identity is two. The ammonium ion is surrounded by a distorted tetrahedron of oxygen atoms (N? O-distances range from 285 to 292 pm, hydrogen bonds of middle strength).     

Single electron transfer‐living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate catalyzed by ytterbium powder

Zerovalent ytterbium (Yb) powder is firstly used as a catalyst in single electron transfer‐living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by carbon tetrachloride in N, N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. Polymerization proceeds in a “living”/controlled way as evidenced by kinetic studies and chain extension results, producing well‐defined polymers with controlled degree of polymerization and narrow molecular weight distribution. The apparent activation energy of polymerization in DMF is accounted to be 36.2 kJ/mol, and the energy of equilibrium state is calculated to be 13.9 kJ/mol. An increase in the concentration of Yb(0) yields a higher monomer conversion. It is observed that polymerization rate experiments a rapid increase in the presence of more polar solvent water, and increasing in the content of H₂O results in an increase in the apparent rate constant of polymerization, and a decrease in the molecular weight distribution. The reaction rate and molecular weight increase along with the decrease of DMF content. The effect of Yb(0) powder content, different ligands and concentration of initiator on the polymerization is also investigated. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of melamine in milk powder using gas chromatography-high-resolution isotope dilution mass spectrometry

A GC-high-resolution isotope dilution MS (IDMS) method for the quantification of melamine in milk powder is described. The developed technique is compared to the LC-IDMS/MS technique, typically used for the determination of melamine in various matrices. The accuracy of the GC-high-resolution IDMS method was demonstrated when a small degree of equivalence was obtained in a regional comparative study involving the determination of melamine in milk powder.
