Total surface areas of Group IVA organometallic compounds: Predictors of toxicity to algae and bacteria

There is a high correlation between molecular surface area (TSA) of triorganotin and triorganolead compounds and their toxicity towards a bacterium (Escherichia coli) and an alga (Selenastrum capricornutum). Parallel attempts to correlate other Group IVA organometals incorporating silicon or germanium were unsuccessful. It was further demonstrated, however, that a high correlation was obtainable between certain series of compounds with the same organic substituent but different metal centers involving all Group IVA elements. In both instances, the inability to obtain a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) for all systems studied appears to be a function of the solubility of the compounds. While organotin TSA values have been found to correlate well with their toxicities toward various organisms, this study clearly suggests that this type of QSAR can be readily extended to include other organometal systems, provided that there is no solubility problem and the toxicity is a function of the hydrophobicity of the organometal compounds.     

Influence of the Presence of CO2 in the Feed of an Indirect Heating TSA Process for VOC Removal

This work deals with an experimental study of an indirect temperature swing adsorption process for VOC removal from air or for gas purification. A 1 m long and 70 mm diameter column with an internal heat exchanger has been filled with Ambersorb 600 carbonaceous adsorbent. This column is equipped with sensors to measure temperature at several points inside the bed, as well as the inlet and outlet gas concentration, pressure, temperature and mass flow. In a first step, CO₂ or ethane/dry nitrogen mixtures were used to simulate a single VOC in air, with different concentrations (350 ppm, 1% and 10%). As a first results very effective gas purification was obtained and an advantage of this process is the high pollutant concentration during the regeneration phase. Experiments were performed with various ethane/CO₂ mixtures. The influence of the presence of CO₂ on the ethane concentration breakthrough curves and on the ethane concentration during regeneration is reported. The IAS theory was used, as a first approach, to predict the adsorbed pollutants amount. Relatively good prediction is obtained with a maximum error in the order of 10%. An energy balance study is reported as well.

pTSA-catalyzed condensation of xylenols and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions: One-pot synthesis of 9H-xanthene or bisphenol derivatives

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 9H-xanthene or bisphenol derivatives has been developed by one-pot condensation of xylenols with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (pTSA) as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 100 °C. It is noteworthy that the condensation reaction of 3,5-xylenol with aldehydes produces 9H-xanthene derivatives, while the reaction with other xylenols leads to the corresponding bisphenol derivatives. Different types of aromatic aldehydes are used in the reaction and in every case the products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and CHN data.

复合催化剂对聚乳酸熔融/固相聚合的影响

使用氯化亚锡/对甲苯磺酸(SnCl2/TSA)复合催化剂对聚乳酸熔融/固相聚合进行研究,通过使用乌氏粘度法,傅里叶变换红外光谱分析、差示扫描量热法对聚乳酸产品进行表征及分析。结果表明:聚乳酸熔融聚合过程中,使用的复合催化剂总含量为0.6%(wt)(SnCl_2和TSA分别为0.3%(wt)),能获得较高分子量的聚乳酸低聚物。使用单一组分0.5wt%的SnCl_2作催化剂,以熔融聚合获得的低聚物为原料进行固相聚合后,获得的聚乳酸粘均分子量是熔融聚合的3.7倍,且其相对分子量能达到最大值。

Using temperature-switching approach to evaluate the ELDRS of bipolar devices

Enhanced low-dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) exhibited at low-dose rates (LDRs) by most bipolar devices is considered as one of the main concerns for spacecraft reliability. In this work, a time-saving and conservative approach – temperature-switching approach (TSA) – to simulate the ELDRS of bipolar devices is presented. Good agreement is observed between the predictive curve obtained with the TSA and the LDR data, and TSA provides us with a new insight into the test technique for ELDRS. Additionally, the mechanisms of TSA are analyzed in this paper.
