In the present research, magnesium aluminate spinel was prepared as catalyst support using a novel, facile, and efficient mechanochemical method. The Co-promoted catalysts with 20 wt.% of Ni were fabricated using an impregnation route and the samples were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption (BET), temperature-programmed reduction and desorption (H2-TPR and O2-TPD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) tests. The results confirmed that all samples have a mesoporous structure with a high specific surface area and the presence of cobalt caused complete CH4 oxidation at low temperatures, and no side reactions were observed. The results indicated that the 3%Co-20%Ni/MgAl2O4 catalyst was the optimal sample among the prepared catalysts, owing to the improvement of reduction features and oxygen mobility. The 50 and 90% of methane conversion was obtained at 530 and 600 °C, respectively. Also, the influence of calcination temperature, GHSV, and feed ratio was determined on the catalytic activity. The obtained outcomes revealed that the calcination temperature has a significant effect on the textural properties and catalytic efficiency. The sample calcined at 700 °C showed the weakest performance, which was related to the sintering of particles at high temperatures. The catalytic stability showed that the 3%Co-20%Ni/MgAl2O4 has acceptable stability during 600 min time of reaction.

A simple, clean and efficient solvent-free procedure for the preparation of aryl carboxylates is described from the direct reaction of carboxylic acids and phenols, in the presence of 1-methylimidazole as base and tosyl chloride (TsCl) as coupling agent. This method can be easily applied for different substituted phenols and carboxylic acids. It can also be applied for the selective acylation when other functional group such as hydroxyl is present on phenol ring. 相似文献
A novel membrane coated platinum-wire electrode (MCPWE) based on N,N'-bis(2-thienylmethylene)-1,2-diaminobenzene (BTMD) for highly selective determination of Ag+ ion has been developed. The influences of membrane composition and pH on the potentiometric responses of electrode were investigated. The potentiometric responses are independent of the pH of the test solution in the range of 5.0 - 9.0. The electrode shows a linear response for Ag+ ion over the concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-60 to 1.0 x 10(-1) M with a lower detection limit of 6.0 x 10(-7) M. The electrode possesses a Nernstian slope of 59.7 mV decade(-1) and a fast response time of < or = 17 s and can be used for at least 2 months without any observable deviation. The proposed electrode displayed very good selectivity for Ag+ ion with respect to NH4+ and alkali, alkaline earth and some common transition metal ions. The practical utility of the electrode has been demonstrated by its use as the indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of an AgNO3 solution with a NaI solution and in determination of the silver content of a developed radiological film. 相似文献
Experimental results of applying a steady magnetic field (20 and 30 mT) on agricultural plants reveal that their growth is more than that of control plants. Considering that these plants have ferritin cells, and each ferritin cell has 4500 Fe atoms, it is obvious that they have an outstanding role in the plants’ growth. As the last spin magnetic moment (SMM) of the Fe atom posed to an external magnetic field (EMF), the composition of SMM and EMF create an oscillator in the system. Then we have a moment of force on ferritin cells. This oscillator exerts its energy, then damps and finally locates in the field direction. The relaxed energy increased the internal temperature (i.e., the effective temperature of the magnetic spin system of plant) so that it is situated in a proper temperature for growing. This phenomenon (temperature increasing) occurs in the initial minutes of applying the magnetic field. So it depends on the number of times of locating the plant in magnetic field in a day (n). If this number (n) passes the critical value, the plant reaches a burning temperature and growth is perturbed. In this paper, the plant growth rate and critical temperature in a steady magnetic field were investigated and formulated theoretically. An innovative result in this research is as follows: if a plant's environment was in the dormant temperature, we could increase the internal temperature of the plant by applying a magnetic field n times in a day (for growth). 相似文献
The equilibria between tungsten(VI) and iminodiacetic acid (IDA) have been studied in aqueous solution. The stoichiometry
and stability constants of the complexes formed are determined from a combination of potentiometric and Uv spectroscopic measurements.
All measurements are carried out at 25°C, pH 7.5 and different ionic strengths ranging from (0.1 to 1.0) mol dm−3 (NaClO4). According to these results, tungsten(VI) forms a mononuclear complex with IDA of the type (WO3L2−). By introducing two empirical parameters C and D in the complex-formation reaction between tungsten(VI) and IDA, the dependence
of the dissociation and stability constants on ionic strength is described by a modified Debye-Huckel-type equation. Finally,
a pattern for the ionic strength dependence is obtained. 相似文献
Spherical gold nanoparticles and flat gold films are prepared in which yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (Cyt c) is covalently bound to the gold surface by a thiol group in the cystein 102 residue. Upon exposure to solutions of different pH, bound Cyt c unfolds at low pH and refolds at high pH. This conformational change causes measurable shifts in the color of the coated nanoparticle solutions detected by UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and in the refractive index (RI) of the flat gold films detected by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Both experiments demonstrate the same trend with pH, suggesting the use of protein-covered gold nanoparticles as a simple colorimetric sensor for conformational change. 相似文献
Using the positron annihilation lifetime technique, the annihilation parameters have been measured for epoxy and high density polyethylene (HDPE) as a function of AC electric field strength and the exposure time. The lifetime spectra have been resolved into three components, the longest component (I33) is attributed to the pick-off annihilation of o-Ps in the amorphous regions. The intermediate one (I22) is due to the annihilation of free positrons, while the shorter component (I11) stems from self annihilation of p-Ps. In HDPE, the o-Ps parameters 3 andI3 are measured as a function of electric field strengths in the range from 10 to 100 kV/cm exposed for 24 hours. A decrease inI3 of 8% is observed from zero to 50 kV/cm followed by an increase of the same order from 50 to 100 kV/cm. By investigating the effect of the exposure time from 2 to 24 hours at 16 and 50 kV/cm, the effect is confirmed and is attributed to the inhibition of o-Ps formation at lower field strength. In epoxy, the effect or exposure time onI3 at 166 and 133 kV/cm shows a similar behavior as in HDPE. At 133 kV/cmI3 decreases by only 2.5%. On the other hand, the changes in 3 occur at short exposure times. Again at large times the saturation is obtained. These effects are attributed to the expansion of free volume (increase of 3) competing at longer exposure times with other phenomena, such as liberation of free radicals, which reduce the o-Ps intensityI3 through the conversion to p-Ps. The reactions between o-Ps and free radicals might also lead to free positrons, which could explain the increase ofI2 and the decrease of 3 at longer exposure times. 相似文献

ionic strengths of I = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 mol. dm−3 at 25°C. A sodium chloride solution was used to maintain the ionic strength. The parameters based on these formation constants
were calculated and the dependence of protonation and the stability constants on ionic strength are described by a Debye-Huckel

Summary Palladium and uranium react with 4,4-acetalidine-bis-(3-methyl isoxazolone-5) in acid medium to give yellow color having a visual limit of identification at 2 and 15g per ml. This color reaction provides the basis of a new method for colorimetric determination of palladium and uranium. Copper also gives yellow color but it cannot be determined with this color reaction because the color intensity is not stable. The maximum tolerable limit of various ions is reported.
Zusammenfassung Pd und U reagieren in saurem Milieu mit 4,4-Acetalidin-bis-(3-methyl-isoxazolon-5) unter Gelbfärbung mit einer Erfassungsgrenze von 2 bzw. 15g/ml. Diese Farbreaktion dient als Grundlage für eine neue kolorimetrische Methode für Pd und U. Cu gibt zwar auch eine Gelbfärbung, kann aber damit nicht bestimmt werden, da die Farbintensität nicht beständig ist. Die maximal tolerierbare Menge der Fremdionen wird angegeben.
