Microwave synthesis,characterization and catalytic properties of titanium-incorporated ZSM-5 zeolite

Titanium-incorporated ZSM-5 zeolites (Si/Al = 50–200 and Si/Ti = 70) were successfully synthesized in a one-step sol-gel process under microwave irradiation. The characteristics of Ti-ZSM-5 zeolites were investigated using X-ray power diffraction, UV/Vis-DRS, FT-IR spectroscopy and solid-state ²⁷Al-NMR to monitor the physico-chemical properties. Simultaneously, the acidic properties were characterized by the NH₃-TPD profile. The characterization results revealed that the Ti⁴⁺ and Al³⁺ ions were well incorporated into the framework of Ti-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prepared zeolite was moderately active but selective in the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether.     

Condensation of 4-aryl-4-oxobutanoic acids with benzylamines: Synthetic and structural studies on 1-arylmethyl-3-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-1-arylmethylidene]-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-2-pyrrolones

The microwave-mediated reaction of 4-aryl-4-oxobutanoic acids with benzylamines furnished 1-arylmethyl-3-[(E)-1-arylmethylidene]-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolones. This result is in contract to the earlier report on this reaction conducted under neat conditions. Structures for the products were assigned on the basis of spectral data and confirmed by independent synthesis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 368–373, March, 2007.     

Microwave and RF surface wave sustained discharges as plasma sources for plasma chemistry and plasma processing

The surface wave produced plasma belongs to a class of RF and microwave induced plasmas. It results from the propagation of an electromagnetic wave which uses the plasma column it sustains and the plasma tube as its sole propagating media. This type of plasma offers several advantages compared to the positive column plasma of dc discharges or to other RF and microwave produced plasmas. Surface wave plasmas require no internal electrodes, and they can be applied over an extremely broad range of wave frequencies (27 MHz to 10 GHz demonstrated) and gas pressures (about 10^–4 Torr to a few times the atmospheric pressures). Using the surface wave plasma technique, a large variety of plasma column diameters have been created (0.5–150 mm demonstrated) and no limitation on plasma column length (column up to 6 m long demonstrated) has been found. The surface wave produced plasma is used in elemental analysis and to sustain emission in lasing media. This article is intended as a guide for potential users of surface wave plasmas in the field of plasma processing and plasma chemistry.     

Fast sample preparation involving MASE and coupled column normal phase liquid chromatography for the rapid trace analysis of dioxins in air-dust samples from fire catastrophe emissions

A new approach has been developed and tested for the urgent analysis of dioxins in samples of air-dust filters originating from catastrophe emissions. The procedure consists of a fast extraction of the sample with microwave solvent extraction (MASE) and acetone as solvent followed by a fast cleanup of the extract with normal phase coupled column liquid chromatography (LC/LC).

The multi-dimensional LC/LC system employs a 50 mm×4.6 mm i.d. column packed with 3 μm silica and a 150 mm×4.6 mm i.d. column packed with 5 μm PYE as the first and second analytical column, respectively. Iso-hexane is used on both columns to perform cleanup and dichloromethane to perform efficient back-flush elution of the compounds from the second column. The obtained polarity-based separation in the first dimension and molecular-structure based separation in the second dimension provides a fast and powerful cleanup.

Validation was done by analysing samples of homemade RIVM air-dust with aged residues (n=8, spiking level about 15 pg mg⁻¹ per compound) of dioxins/furans and samples of reference Urban Dust SRM 1649a (n=4) with both the new approach and the existing conventional procedure and were instrumentally analyzed with capillary gas chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometric detection (GC/HRMS).

In comparison to the existing conventional procedure, the new approach reduces sample processing from several days to several hours per sample.

As regards the aged-residue air-dust samples, the new method shows a good accuracy, precision and high selectivity providing a performance in good agreement with the existing procedure. In SRM air-dust, the concentration of a few compounds obtained by the new method was below (10–50%) the certified value.     

Air microwave-induced plasma: Relation between ion density and atomic oxygen density

Electron temperature and ion density are measured in an air microwave-induced plasma (2450 MHz) by means of a floating double probe. A 'cinetic scheme for ion formation and decay is set up, and a relationship between atomic oxygen and ion densities is obtained. From this relationship an order-of-magnitude of atomic oxygen concentration in the discharge is derived and compared with results obtained by optical actinometry in another work.

Characteristics of vinyl iodide microwave plasma etching of GaAs/AlGaAs and InP/InGaAs heterostructures

Vinyl iodide (C₂H₃I) microwave discharges with additions of H₂ and Ar are found to provide faster etch rates than conventional CH₄/H₂/Ar discharges for InP, InGaAs, GaAs, and AlGaAs. This is a result of the relatively high volatilities of indium, gallium, and aluminum iodide species. The etched features are smooth and anisotropic over a wide range of do self-biases (–150 to –350 V), process pressures (1–20mTorr), and microwave powers (150–500 W). The polymer that forms on the mask during the plasma exposure can be readily removed in O₂ discharges. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) showed that the etched surfaces are slightly deficient in the group V elements under most conditions, but changes to the optical properties of the semiconductors are minimal. No defects are visible by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in GaAs or InP samples etched at dc biases –250 V.
