The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of Ethyl methylphosphonate (EMPA) on powdery TiO2 film has experimentally investigated using attenuated total reflection-infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) in ambient condition. Characteristic IR frequency as P-O-C vibration mode as EtO was observed by EMPA adsorbed at the surface of TiO2. By TiO2 photocatalysis, the adsorbed EMPA was decomposed to methyl phosphonic acid and phosphoric acid. The increment of IR intensity of which is assigned to Ti–O-P-O-Ti of EMPA was accompanied with increasing the IR peak intensity assigned to MPA. About that, we suggest that the appearance of the Ti–O-P-O-Ti of EMPA by the TiO2 photocatalysis is regarded as acceleration of the hydrolysis of EMPA by the surface OH groups of TiO2. The plausible adsorption structure and the photocatalytic reaction mechanism of EMPA at the surface of TiO2 photocatalyst were elucidated.
Geometric structures and excited-state proton dislocation of size-selected salicylic acid clusters (salicylic acid and 5-methoxysalicylic acid) with water were studied by using laser spectroscopic techniques. Fluorescence excitation, dispersed fluorescence, and infrared (IR) spectra of those clusters in supersonic jets were examined for both the electronic ground (S0) and first excited (S1) states. The geometric structures of the clusters were determined on the basis of the IR spectra of the OH stretch region with the help of quantum chemical calculations. The hydroxyl group of the water moiety in the clusters forms a ring involving the carboxylic group of the salicylic acid moiety. The IR spectra in S0 show that the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the salicylic acid moiety is still held upon cluster formation, but the phenolic OH stretch band intensity is remarkably weaken in the clusters. The IR spectra in the S1 state and dispersed fluorescence spectra indicated that the intramolecular excited state proton dislocation is hardly affected by the microsolvation with water, in contrast with the strong suppression of the dislocation in the self-solvation. 相似文献
A dedicated NAA calibration method was developed for the determination of the neutron spectrum monitor elements Co, Au and Lu in alloyed wires and foils, with an accuracy of better than 1%. The method does not require quantitative micropipetting for preparing the standards, and leads to vanishing errors caused by flux inhomogeneities and by differences in counting geometry and gamma attenuation. Its performance was tested by analysing various NIST, IRMM and RX aluminium-based materials with certified or specified Co, Au or Lu content. 相似文献
Charged particle activation analysis of phosphorus in biological materials using the31P (α,n)34mCl reaction has been studied. Since34mCl is also produced by the32S (α,pn) and the35Cl (α, α′ n) reactions, the thick-target yield curves on phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine were determined in order to choose
the optimum irradiation conditions. As a result, it was found that the activation analysis for phosphorus without interferences
from surfur and chlorine is possible by bombarding with less than 17 MeV alphas. The applicability of this method to biological
samples was then examined by irradiating several standard reference materals. It was confirmed that phosphorus can readily
be determined at the detection limit of 1 μg free from interferences due to the matrix elements. 相似文献
For evaluation of radioactivity induced in the concrete samples from accelerator facilities, the residual radioactivity in
concrete sample, collected from seven accelerator facilities, was determined by γ-ray spectrometry. The tritium was extracted
by the heating method using an IR furnace, and measured with a liquid scintillation counter. It was found that the major radioisotopes
activated mainly by neutrons in the concrete samples were 152Eu, 60Co, 134Cs and 3H. The concentrations of radioactivities induced by thermal neutron capture are the highest at a depth of 10 cm in the concrete
wall. The correlation between tritium, 60Co and 152Eu activity was investigated by measuring many concrete samples for seven accelerator facilities. The results indicate that
their activities are strongly correlated with each other. So it would also be concluded that the total activity in shielding
concrete could be estimated on the basis of the activities of 60Co and 152Eu. 相似文献
In order to demonstrate the usefulness of alpha-particle activation analysis, simultaneous determination of P, Cl, K and Ca in commercially available control serums has been studied fundamentally. After thick target yield curves of radionuclides produced from the element to be determined were measured as a function of alpha energy together with those of the interferences, an optimum working standard for the present experiments was provided by applying the internal standard method to a human serum under the most suitable bombardment conditions. Then, the concentrations of the above four elements in several control serums were determined efficiently and reasonably by ordinary alpha-particle activation analysis. 相似文献
