Among them, Tegoprens 3022 showed more than a 45% increase in gas production with higher methane content.     

Study of Sb‐doped SnO2 Gray Ceramic Pigment with Cassiterite Structure

In this study, Sb_xSn_1?xO₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) compositions were synthesized by the ceramic method from Sb₂O₃‐SnO₂ and Sb₂O₅‐SnO₂ mixtures and characterized by Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X‐ray diffraction, UV‐V‐NIR spectroscopy and CIE L*a*b* (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage L*a*b*) parameters measurements. Solid solutions with cassiterite structure were obtained at 1300 °C. These solid solutions are stable into glazes. From Sb₂O₃, light gray coloured materials were obtained. From Sb₂O₅, bluish gray coloured materials were obtained at 1300 °C/6h when x ≥ 0.3. Sb_xSn_1?xO₂ with 0.3 ≤ x < 0.5, T = 1300 °C and Sb₂O₅ might be established as compositional range, fired temperature and antimony precursor to obtain gray ceramic pigments in this system.     

Selectivity optimization for the capillary gas chromatographic analysis of bacterial cellular fatty acids

Summary The importance of selectivity in the capillary gas chromatographic analysis of the cellular fatty acids of micro-organisms is underestimated. The analysis on apolar silicone phases can lead to erratic elucidation of the fatty acid structure. Qualitative errors have been detected in commercially available standards on which computer matching identification techniques are based. Using highly polar capillary columns of the cyanopropyl silicone type, the errors could be elucidated. The exact identification of the hydrolysis products of bacteria is a must for chemotaxonomic studies applying chromatographic techniques. The fatty acid methyl ester profiles can also contain other chemical components which are very important taxonomic markers. Fatty aldehydes, for example, are main components in someClostridium species. Fractionation techniques are described for selective enrichment of fatty aldehydes and hydroxy fatty acids.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. A Liberti on the occasion of his 70th birthday     

Preconcentration of copper with multi-walled carbon nanotubes pretreated by potassium permanganate cartridge for solid phase extraction prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A procedure for the preconcentration of copper was described in this paper using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) oxidized by potassium permanganate as the adsorbent for the enrichment of trace copper in water samples. Important parameters, such as the sample pH, the concentration and volume of eluent, sample flow rate and volume, and interference of coexisting ions, were investigated. The obtained results indicated that proposed method possessed an excellent analytical performance. The linear range, the detection limit, and precison (RSD) were 1-100 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9993), 0.32 ng/mL and 2.88%, respectively. The results showed that copper could be adsorbed quantitatively on the pretreated MWCNTs with potassium permanganate, and proposed method was very useful in the monitoring of copper in the environment.

包覆型纳米铜-银双金属粉研究

目前,导电胶或者电磁波屏蔽涂料用的导电性填料主要有三类,一是铜粉,二是银粉,三是铜-银双金属粉。铜粉具有来源广、价格低廉、导电性好等优点,但其抗氧化性能弱;银粉导电性与抗氧化性好,但其资源日益匮乏。大量的研究试图通过对铜粉进行表面改性来提高其性能。表面改性有两种方法,一是包膜处理,用SiO2溶胶处理铜粉,铜粉抗氧化性能提高,但其表面导电性能大大降低犤1犦;另一类方法是在铜粉表面覆盖一层导电性能与抗氧化性能均佳的银或金而制成双金属粉末犤2～5犦。制取高性能的铜-银双金属粉是该领域的研究重点。目前获得铜-银双金属粉的方…

Ternary and tetrahedral symmetry in hybrid fluorides, fluoride carbonates and carbonates

Tren amine cations and carbonate anions adopt a ternary symmetry while tetra amine cations are tetrahedral. The symmetry of these constitutive ions influences strongly the nature of the solids which crystallise from solutions. Large fluorinated aluminate polyanions with tetrahedral symmetry appear in the presence of tren amine, while infinite chains of AlF₆ octahedra are observed with tetra amine and that noncentrosymmetric structures are frequently encountered in rare earth fluoride carbonates.

Direct determination of manganese in vitamin-mineral tablets using solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Manganese in vitamin-minerals tablets was determined by solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-ETAAS) using three different calibration methods, namely calibration against aqueous standards, standard addition with aqueous standards on solid samples and calibration against solid certified standards. Samples were only finely ground and introduced directly into the furnace by means of solid autosampler system without any dissolving process. Effects of different calibration techniques, temperatures and heating rates of atomization and pyrolysis steps on the accuracy and precision of the analyte elements were investigated. After optimization of the experimental parameters, there is good agreement (at 95% confidence level) between the results obtained by solid sampling and those obtained by acid digestion of samples.
