Quantitative assessment of rhodamine spectra

With the development of single-molecule detection and super-resolution fluorescence imaging, rhodamine dyes gain new life. Through the modification of the N-substituents and the replacement of the oxygen atom in xanthene, the wavelength and brightness can be effectively changed. However, the spectra of rhodamine, especially due to the balance between ring-closed non-fluorescent lactone and ring-opened fluorescent zwitterion/cation, are sensitive to interference from various environmental factors. In this way, the spectral data of various rhodamines reported by different research groups under different test conditions lacked comparability, sometimes even lacked accuracy. In order to meet the requirements for the accuracy and uniformity of spectral data in the research of single molecule imaging and dye structure-fluorescence relationship study, we have tested the spectra of fifteen rhodamine dyes that cover the visible and near-infrared regions under exactly the same conditions. By studying the dependence of the spectra on dye concentrations, it was confirmed that 1 μmol/L was ideal for detection less from the interference of dye molecule aggregation. We provide comprehensive and reliable spectral data of these fifteen dyes, which are expected to be used as references for future research. And the direct comparison of different rhodamine spectra would help to understand the structure-fluorescence relationship of rhodamines.

液相放电等离子体特性与激波特性的数值分析

以能量平衡方程为基础,采用不同的电导率唯象模型描述了液相放电等离子体圆柱形通道特性,得到了通道内半径、温度、电阻、电流和耗散能量随时间的变化关系,还给出了距离放电间隙中心一定距离处的冲击波压力变化,并与前人利用等离子体通道球状模型计算得到的结果进行了比较。结果表明：把等离子体通道看成球状和看成圆柱状在描述通道压力和通道半径时差异显著,而在描述其他物理特性时差别不大;三种电导率模型在描述等离子体通道物理特性时,变化趋势大体相同,而在描述激波特性时,电导率模型σ₂更符合实际;通过对比电学参数与压力参数的变化,就可以在实验中根据实验数据以及具体的研究问题进行模型的适用性选择。

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FREE AND LINKED PYRENE-TYPE CHROMOPHORES IN SOLUTION,POLYMER MATRICES,AND INTERPENETRATING NETWORKS

Monomers, 1-pyrenylmethyl methacrylate (PyMMA), 1-pyrenylbutyl methacrylate (PyBMA), 4-(1-pyrenyl)methoxymethyl styrene (PyMMS) and allyl-(1-pyrenylmehtyl) ether (PyMAE), with pyrene as chromophore, were prepared. Their spectral properties (absorption, emission and emission decay) in solution, and doped or bonded in polymer matrices and complex polymer systems as interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN), were investigated. Spectral properties of pyrene-containing monomers doped in polystyrene (PS), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) and grafted on PE as well as copolymerized in buthylmethacrylate-co-styrene copolymer (BMA-co-S) have been compared. Absorption and emission spectra of pyrene type probes in solution and in IPN matrices exhibit typical absorption of the pyrene moiety. For IPN with grafted probes on PE, the absorption is slightly shifted to red wavelength. For monomers, PyMMA, PyBMA and PyMAE grafted to PE, the shape of the emission spectrum depends on the wavelength of excitation. The ratio of intensity of the vibrational band, I₁/I₃, (I₁ peak at 377 nm and I₃ peak at 388 nm) has been a quite useful indicator of polarity of IPN. The relative quantum yields of fluorescence in IPN matrices are lower in comparison to polymer matrices of PE, PS, PMMA for all probes under study. The fluorescence life-times for bound and free probes have been in the range 100–200 ns, which is substiantialy shorter than for the parent pyrene chromophore under the same or similar condition. Grafted probes on PE alone, or as a part of IPN, exhibit substantially shorter life-time around 10 ns and decay is rather complex.     

煤中痕量元素在循环流化床锅炉中的迁移行为与富集特性

对天津市某电厂循环流化床(CFB)锅炉燃用的原煤及燃烧产物底灰、飞灰、细飞灰(≤50 μm)进行痕量元素含量的测定,分析了Be、Zn、Hg、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、As、Se、Cd、Pb 13种痕量元素在燃烧过程中的迁移行为,揭示了痕量元素在CFB锅炉中的分配、富集特性。结果表明,CFB锅炉中,较低的炉温对于痕量元素的迁移富集产生了较大的影响。由相对富集系数得知,Be、V、Co、Se在底灰中耗散,在飞灰中富集,Zn、Mn倾向于在底灰中富集,元素Cd、Pb、Ni、Cu挥发性较强,在底灰和飞灰中均是耗散。As受钙氧化物影响,挥发性表现并不明显。Hg在底灰和飞灰中相对富集系数均很低,表明Hg在整个燃烧过程中以气态形式排放;Hg、As、Se、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Pb均有向小颗粒物中富集的趋势。根据相对富集系数以及研究的13种元素在低温CFB锅炉中的迁移行为,将这些元素分为三类:A类(E_R<0.1),主要是以气态形式排放元素Hg;B类(0.1R≤0.85),较易挥发元素As、Be、Ni、Cu、Se、Cd、Pb、Co、V;C类(E_R>0.85),主要残留在固体产物中元素Zn、Mn、Cr。     

Effect of Ultra High Pressure Processing on the Particle Characteristics of Lotus-seed Starch

In this paper, the time dependent effects of various pressure treatments on the characteristics of lotus-seed starch which was modified by ultra-high pressure (UHP) were investigated. The results showed that the polarization cross of lotus-seed starch granules was weakening gradually with increasing the treatment time, which indicated the termination of their ordered crystallite structures. The morphologies of granules were collapsed once the UHP was kept at 500 MPa for 60 minutes. The particle size analysis demonstrated that the granule size and distribution of lotus-seed starches increased as the treatment time was prolonged. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the intensity of the feature diffraction peaks of starch decreased and eventually disappeared with increasing the treatment time, and B-type transformation pattern was observed. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) analysis of starch showed that the UHP is a physical modification processing because no new groups formed. The research showed that UHP processing at certain degree is capable to achieve the modification of lotus-seed starch. It is of significance for the deep processing of lotus-seed products.     

Effect of Experimental Variables on the Combustion Characteristics of Water-in-Diesel Emulsion Fuels

Water-in-diesel (W/D) emulsion fuels were prepared through an ultrasonic processor by using high energy emulsification method. Accordingly, the physical and chemical properties were analyzed. A decrease in viscosity was found in the emulsion fuel in contrast to the neat diesel which signifies the enhanced fluidity of the fuel. The emulsion fuel was then used to carry combustion tests in an internal combustion engine. A decrease in exhaust temperature was observed when a high surfactant to water ratio was used, which lead to minimal heat loss. As water is emulsified with diesel, effectiveness of combustion is improved rather than neat diesel fuel. It was also explored that the addition of water-in-diesel is influential in terms of reduction in exhaust gas emission such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia from the internal combustion engine. Therefore, this type of emulsion fuel would be a useful contribution in the fuel economy, but also in making it environmentally friendly since diesel fuel is now considered one of the leading fuels causing ecological contamination.     

The Enrichment of Stale Tailings of Bom-gorhon Tungsten Ore Deposits

The results of mineralogical studies of technogenic tungsten raw material (stale tailings of Bom-Gorhon deposit) are represented. Its particle size distribution as well as tungsten and accompanying element distribution among the fractions were determined. The necessity of grinding the heaps down to 0.2-0.25 mm in size was established. It allows increasing the recovery rate of two or more times in comparison with the traditional pattern of tailing processing.
