Chemically modified electrode for the detection of carbohydrates

A nickel-catalysed chemically modified electrode is described which seems to represent a convenient compromise between ease of preparation, reproducibility, precision and detection limits for the determination of carbohydrates in biological matrices.     

Synthesis and mechanism research of an ethylene glycol-based sol-gel method for preparing PZT nanopowders

Lead zirconate titanate nanopowders Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ (PZT) were prepared by modified sol-gel process in ethylene glycol system with zirconium nitrate as the zirconium source. The research showed that it was critical to add lead acetate after the reaction of zirconium nitrate and tetrabutyl titanate in ethylene glycol system for preparing PZT of exact titanium content. The reaction mechanisms of the sol synthesis, preparation of xerogel and agglutinating process were characterized through using FT-IR, NMR, TG-FTIR, and GC-MS. The experiment proved that ethylene glycol system did not rely on hydrolysis and condensation reactions in the process of the sol formation, but on the formation of chain or network large molecules from complexation of ethylene glycol and all Ti and minor Pd, Zr. In the preparation of xerogel, the complexation reaction was so completed that it formed large molecules network composed of metal and dioxyethyl. Bulk weight loss happened before 350°C in the process of sintering xerogel to prepare PZT nanopowders. Volatile matters and vapor phase decomposition resultants were primarily oxy-compounds including ethylene glycol, aldehyde-ketone compounds, carbon dioxide and nitrate radical conversion matters. After 350°C, primary vapor phase decomposition resultants were carbon dioxide and minor carbonyl compound.     

Electron beam forming system for irradiation of large diameter cylindrical products

The report describes electron beam electromagnetic forming system, which is destined for irradiation of cylindrical long goods, specifically for PE tubes 160 mm diameter. System consists of electromagnet, power supply units, beam distributions control units, etc. for use at an electron accelerator at 5 MeV and 50 kW. The particular geometry of the magnet poles and their mutual arrangement are creating an irradiation field that allows the electrons to irradiate the surface of the product close to 90°.

Mode selective directional couplers for overmoded waveguide systems

Two types of directional couplers for transverse electric (TE) modes are described: short and multihole couplers, respectively. They selectively pick one mode out of a mode mixture in an overmoded circular waveguide system. Unwanted modes are either statistically kept at low level or are suppressed by destructive interference in the coupling waveguide. Mode selectivity and directivity in multihole couplers oscillate up and down with an increasing number of holes, finally reaching a minimum of approximately 20 dB, unless there are competing modes with rational fractions of the beat wavelength. A multihole coupler for the TE₀₂ mode (28 GHz, 63.4 mm waveguide diameter, 41 holes) and a length of 1.6 m shows a calculated directivity of 68 dB and suppresses the unwanted modes TE₀₁ with 34 dB (24 dB), TE₂₂ with 37 dB (45 dB), and further modes TE_m (<5, m<6) with 17 dB to 34 dB in forward direction (figures in parentheses are for unwanted modes propagating in backward direction).A short directional coupler for the TE₀₁ mode (28 GHz, 63.4 mm waveguide diameter) with 16 holes and a length of 230 mm shows a directivity of 55 to 100 dB between 27.9 and 28.1 GHz, suppressing the TE₀₂ mode with 35 to 80 dB, the TE₀₃ mode with 30 to 65 dB, and the TE₂₂ mode with 30 to 70 dB.

SYNTHESIS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYANILINE VIA OXIDATION BY MnO2

A unique process of chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as the oxidizing agent in an aqueous medium is described. The reaction between aniline and MnO2 follows a mechanism by which the organic monomer is oxidized while the metal oxide undergoes reductive dissolution. The effects of the amount of oxidizing agent and aniline, pH and temperature of the reactive system, type of acid on the yield and conductivity of polyaniline are discussed. The resulting polyaniline was characterized by [R and UV-Vis spectrometry. Polyaniline with a conductivity of 12.5 S/cm was obtained using 0.033 tool of aniline oxidized by 0.023 tool MnO2 in the presence of 100 mL of 2.7 mol/L HCI at 25℃ for 4 h.     

Multipurpose chamber for the implementation of gas diffusion, dialysis, solid-phase extraction and precipitation/dissolution in continuous flow analyzers

A multipurpose chamber capable of implementing a variety of continuous separation techniques is reported. The proposed module can be used in conjunction with flow manifolds coupled on-line to optical detectors in order to develop simple autoanalyzers for full sample pretreatment. The analytical applicability of such a device is discussed with specific regard to gas diffusion, dialysis, solid-phase extraction (SPE), and precipitation/dissolution techniques. Its versatility and simplicity are among the main advantages. Four different automated analyzers based on the use of the multipurpose chamber have been developed for monitoring of different quality control parameters of liquid food samples, namely, carbon dioxide in beer, ascorbic acid in fruit juice, caffeine in soft drinks and lactose, fat and protein in milk. The results obtained were compared with those provided by the existing alternatives for the same applications in terms of sensitivity and precision.

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 78. Mitt.: Die Eigenschaften desb-Nor-bilatrien-abc-b-Nor-biladien-ac-Systems

The redox coupleb-nor-biladiene-ac (2)/b-nor-bilatriene-abc (3) exhibits an oxidative half wave potential of 800 mV in acetonitrile solution. It is demonstrated that it can be used as an extremely efficient electron carrier through bulk membranes. Whereas2 is not suitable as a ligand in carrier mediated cation transport,3 is a medium suited carrier for Cu(II) or Zn(II) ions, however, it is the most efficient one found so far for transport of Hg(II) ions. A 1:1 zinc chelate of3 is isolated and characterized. it is deduced to represent a polymer consisting of about 73 monomer units.
