In situ liquid SIMS analysis of uranium oxide

Trace analysis of nuclear materials in solid particles collected in the environment or particles in liquid slurry generated in nuclear material manufacturing processes can pinpoint elemental, organic, and isotopic signatures of nuclear fuel cycle activities and processes. Such information can support nuclear safeguards programs by increasing our ability to detect undeclared nuclear materials, routine activities for safeguarding at declared facilities, and illicit activities. However, trace radioactive material analysis in liquids and slurries is challenging using bulk approaches. For example, one drawback of sensitive analysis such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is that sample is consumed or destroyed as a result of the technical approach. We developed a vacuum compatible microfluidic interface to enable surface analysis of liquids and solid–liquid interactions using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). In this work, we illustrate the initial results from the analysis of liquid uranium oxide standard solutions using in situ liquid SIMS. Because the liquid SIMS analysis is almost nondestructive, the same sample can then be analyzed by other analytical techniques or saved for future reference. Consequently, multimodal analysis is possible. Our results demonstrate that in situ liquid SIMS can be used as a new approach to analyze radioactive materials in liquid and slurry forms of relevance to diverse applications.

Enantioseparation of dansyl amino acids and dipeptides by chiral ligand exchange capillary electrophoresis based on Zn(II)-l-hydroxyproline complexes coordinating with γ-cyclodextrins

A chiral ligand exchange capillary electrophoresis (CLE-CE) method using Zn(II) as the central ion and l-4-hydroxyproline as the chiral ligand coordinating with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was developed for the enantioseparation of amino acids (AAs) and dipeptides. The effects of various separation parameters, including the pH of the running buffer, the ratio of Zn(II) to l-4-hydroxyproline, the concentration of complexes and cyclodextrins (CDs) were systematically investigated. After optimization, it has been found that eight pairs of labeled AAs and six pairs of labeled dipeptides could be baseline-separated with a running electrolyte of 100.0 mM boric acid, 5.0 mM ammonium acetate, 3.0 mM Zn(II), 6.0 mM l-hydroxyproline and 4.0 mM γ-CD at pH 8.2. The quantitation of AAs and dipeptides was conducted and good linearity (r² ≥ 0.997) and favorable repeatability (RSD ≤ 3.6%) were obtained. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied in determining the enantiomeric purity of AAs and dipeptides. Meanwhile, the possible enantiorecognition mechanism based on the synergistic effect of chiral metal complexes and γ-CD was explored and discussed briefly.     

Improved detection sensitivity of elements in solids via laser postionization in laser desorption time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

A newly constructed laser desorption (532 nm, 5 ns) and laser postionization (266 nm, 5 ns) time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer (LD‐LPI‐TOFMS) has been applied for improving the detection sensitivity of elements in solid samples. This method affords to acquire the information of the elemental impurities in solid standards as well as limit of detection (LOD) down to 10⁻⁸ g/g for some elements. Neutral atoms of solids are generated by low‐irradiance laser desorption (< 10⁸ W/cm²), followed by high‐irradiance laser postionization (~ 10⁹ W/cm²) of the desorbed atoms, facilitating to decouple the desorption and ionization processes in spatial and temporal domain. This non‐interacting feature overcomes the discrimination between deteriorating spectral resolution at high irradiance (10⁹–10¹¹ W/cm²) and limited detectable elemental species and high LOD at low or medium irradiance (below 10⁹ W/cm²). The utilization of originally “wasted” neutral atoms by laser postionization will help improve atom utilization and instrumental sensitivity. In this work, getting the utmost out of the consumed neutral atoms instead of an increment in sampling amounts is given attention with high priority for achieving high sensitivity and low LOD, which is especially useful on the occasions where very low sample consumption is desired.     

ZSM-5分子筛酸位分布及其甲醇制烯烃催化性能的定向管理与调控

ZSM-5分子筛在甲醇制烯烃(MTO)过程中的催化性能和反应机理与其孔道中酸位点分布位置紧密相关. 本文证明在水热合成过程中加入适量的钠离子(Na⁺)可以增加ZSM-5分子筛交叉腔酸位点比例; 从而促进高级甲基苯的生成并加速芳烃循环, 有利于乙烯生成. 相反, 在合成过程中不添加钠离子, 所制备的ZSM-5分子筛直孔道和正弦孔道酸位点比例明显提高, 有利于促进烯烃循环并提高丙烯和C₃₊烯烃选择性.     

相分离聚合法:(Ⅰ)羧酸型共聚功能微球的合成

粒径在微米级、粒度分布窄的高分子微球具有十分广泛的应用。但是由于这样规格的微球正是在一般的悬浮聚合和乳液聚合的合成范围之外,而采用二步聚合法和种子聚合法则不是需要使用特殊的反应装置,就是合成步聚十分繁复,因此至今对于这样规格高分子微球的报道不多。     

相分离聚合法:(Ⅱ)二乙氨基乙基型共聚功能微球的合成

<正> 随着生物工程高技术的发展,功能高分子微球作为一类新的功能高分子材料已得到十分广泛的应用。然而关于最难以合成的粒径在微米级、粒度分布窄的高分子微球合成的报道至今仍很少。本文报道了用相分离法(即静止的分散聚合法)合成含有DEAE基团的高分子微球的研究。探讨了单体、交联剂、引发剂及聚合温度、聚合时间等聚合条件对生成微球的影响。相分离聚合法的特点是利用了随着在聚合过程中单体的逐渐聚合,分子量长大,聚合体与反应体系间相容性变差而最终分相成球的原理,因而所形成的微球粒度圆,粒径比较均一。与一般的分散聚合法相比不仅生成微球的粒径较大,且不需要搅拌,使反应装置得以简化。     

Sabatier效应机理的研究

通过对核壳乳剂以及均质乳剂潜影分布和sabatier效应的研究,提出了产生Sabatier效应的可能机理:第一次曝光产生的表面潜影吸附了显影剂负离子以后变成空穴捕获中心而在第二次曝光时被漂白造成影像反转;卤化银颗粒上必须同时有足够的表面敏化中心和足够的内部敏化中心,两者应相匹配。利用这个机理可以解释许多有关Sabatier效应的实验现象。
