Reaction Ergodography and Transition State Analyses of the Addition of AIH_3 to Acetylene

The present paper covers the reaction ergodography for the addition of AlH3 to acetylene investigated by ab initio calculation with RHF/3-21G basis set. The changes in some physical properties along the reaction path (IRC) are presented. The formations of FMOs of the transition state have been analyzed according to the Fukui' s method. On the basis of the perturbation theory and Wolfsborg Helmholtz formula, we calculated the FMO' s energy orders of TS and its formation that shows the HOMO of TS consists of LUMO, HOMO of AlH3 and HOMO of HCCH.     

Kinetic analysis of temperature-programmed surface reactions on porous catalysts

By means of model calculations it could be shown for an irreversible surface reaction of 1st order that the determination of the activation energy of the desorption of the reactant or, respectively, of the surface reaction is possible by application of the method of variation of the heating rate to the desorption curve of the reactant, according to circumstances whether the ratio of the activation energy of the surface reaction and of the desorption of the reactant is greater or smaller than one.The possibilities of the kinetic evaluation are applied to the isomerization of cyclopropane on a NaX-zeolite catalyst. The resulting heat of adsorption of cyclopropane and the activation energy of the reaction agree well with the values of literature obtained by isothermal measurements in a pulse reactor.

Zusammenfassung Mit Modellrechnungen für eine irreversible Oberflächenreaktion 1. Ordnung konnte gezeigt werden, daß durch Anwendung der Methode der Variation der Heizgeschwindigkeit auf die Desorptionskurve des Ausgangsstoffes die näherungsweise Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie der Desorption des Ausgangsstoffes bzw. der Oberflächenreaktion möglich ist, je nachdem ob das Verhältnis der Aktivierungsenergien für die Oberflächenreaktion und der Desorption des Ausgangsstoffes größer oder kleiner als eins ist.Die Möglichkeiten der kinetischen Auswertung werden auf die isomerisierung von Cyclopropan an einem NaX-Zeoliten angewendet. Die erhaltene Adsorptionswärme für Cyclopropan und die Aktivierungsenergie für die Reaktion stimmen gut mit Literatur-werten von isothermen Messungen im Impulsreaktor überein.

Stopped-flow injection analysis. The influence of diffusion on dispersion of normal and reverse flow injection

A relationship is derived to enable the comparison of the dispersion heights of normal and reverse flow injection analysis (FIA). A single channel flow system is employed in the absence of a chemical reaction. The stopped-flow injection method is used to probe the influence of molecular diffusion on the overall dispersion of normal and reverse FIA, which appeared to demonstrate fundamentally different diffusion behaviors. Small discrepancies are observed between the dispersion heights, which are enhanced by the stopped-flow period, especially when unmatched matrix ionic compositions of the indicator and counter solutions were involved. For these conditions, the diffusion flux rate is enhanced considerably, displaying a peak, in addition to the transient, for both methods. The influence of diffusion on the dispersion characteristics of normal and reverse FIA is discussed theoretically. Diffusion in the proposed model is postulated to oppose dispersion by convection. The latter initiates concentration gradients in the injection zone and propagates it with flow time over the dispersion zone profile. The diffusion flux then reacts in order to confine the indicator dispersion for normal FIA and to enhance it for reverse FIA. This model is consistent with the experimental results and accounts for most of the phenomena encountered. Probably owing to the influence of secondary flow phenomena, the use of coiled tubes has suppressed the effects of diffusion on the overall dispersion behavior.Part of the experimental work was performed at IMI Institute for Research and Development, Haifa, Israel.     

Surface chemical analysis of raw cotton fibres and associated materials

The surface chemical composition of raw unscoured cotton was successfully investigated by the surface analytical techniques X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The presence of non-cellulosic material at the fibre surface was established and determined to be a complex mixture of fatty acids, alcohols, alkanes, esters and glycerides. The effect of scouring and bleaching was to reduce the surface concentration of these materials but even after aqueous processing some non-cellulosic material residue was still detected at the fibre surface.     

Sample enrichment by using monolithic precolumns in microcolumn liquid chromatography

An on-line sample enrichment system was designed using monolithic precolumns in microcolumn LC. The monolithic ODS capillary columns were prepared via in situ sol-gel processes. The enrichment efficiency of the monolithic columns was tested by using phthalates as the analytes. The relative standard deviations (n = 6) for the retention time, peak area and peak height were between 0.4 and 1.2%, 0.9 and 5.5% and 0.4 and 3.9%, respectively. The system was linear (R2 > 0.99) within the working sample concentration and sample volume ranges. Comparing to 0.2 microl injection with a typical sample injector, the theoretical plate number of a same separation column was increased by 3-6-fold when the precolumn unit was used for sample injection. The recoveries of the analytes were between 88 and 120%, and the sample volume that could be injected into the system was increased up to 5000-fold. The limits of detection were improved by more than 2000-fold and were between 0.21 and 0.87 ng ml(-1) even with a UV absorbance detector. This system was applied to the determination of phthalates contained in laboratory distilled water and tap water samples.     

Isolation and purification of honokiol and magnolol from cortex Magnoliae officinalis by high-speed counter-current chromatography

High-speed counter-current chromatography was used to isolate and purify honokiol and magnolol from cortex Magnoliae Officinalis (Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils.), a plant used in the traditional Chinese medicine. A crude sample, 150 mg, was successfully separated with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:0.4:1:0.4, v/v), and the fractions were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The separation produced 80 and 45 mg of honokiol and magnolol with purities of 99.2 and 98.2%, respectively, in 2.5 h.     

Analyzing functional similarity of protein sequences with discrete wavelet transform

This paper applies discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with various protein substitution models to find functional similarity of proteins with low identity. A new metric, 'S' function, based on the DWT is proposed to measure the pair-wise similarity. We also develop a segmentation technique, combined with DWT, to handle long protein sequences. The results are compared with those using the pair-wise alignment and PSI-BLAST.
