Adsorption Modification of Dispersed Aluminum: Thermal Desorption Mass Spectrometry of the Modifying Layers

Thermal desorption and thermodestruction of modifiers (short- and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids, synthetic butadiene and nitrile rubbers with end carboxyl groups) were studied by thermal desorption mass spectrometry. The results obtained were compared with the thermal stability of individual modifiers. It was shown that the use of dispersed aluminum as a filler decreases the thermal stability of compositions based on butadiene and nitrile rubbers.     

Gas chromatography of halogenated adamantanes

The main thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption of haloadamantanes on graphitized thermal carbon black were determined by experimental measurements and by calculations in terms of molecular-statistic theory of adsorption. Using experimental data, the Kovac retention indices were calculated and the optimum conditions for gas-chromatographic separation of haloadamantanes on stationary phases with different polarity were elucidated. The influence of the cage effect in the adamantane unit on the chromatographic properties of haloadamantanes was established.     

Introduction of the pyrylium ring into compounds of the aromatic and heterocyclic series

Halogen-substituted pyrylium cations react with organic nucleophilic compounds via an electrophilic mechanism to form new pyrylium salts. The reaction is extended to aromatic, heterocyclic, andnonbenzoid aromatic systems. Pyrylium salts that contain other functional groups do not enter into this reaction. The IR spectra of the compounds obtained are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1320–1323, October, 1971.     

Effect of the composition of the immobilized copper-containing ionic liquid on the dodecyl mercaptan oxidation kinetics

Basic kinetic parameters of the catalytic oxidation of dodecyl mercaptan in kerosene in the presence of silica-immobilized pyridinium or imidazolium chlorocuprate complexes have been determined. The composition of the copper-containing anions and the oxidation kinetics depend on the nature of the ionic liquid and on the method of its synthesis. The compositions developed in this study are usable in the removal of hydrogen sulfide and light mercaptans from the oil stripping gas.     

Physicochemical Grounds for Application of Schungite for Neutralization of 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine in Wastewater

Chromatography–mass spectrometry and MALDI mass spectrometry have been used to study the interaction of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and products of its oxidation with the surface of mineral schungite in aqueous solutions. A comparative analysis has been performed for organic compounds contained in initial and equilibrium 1,1-dimethylhydrazine solutions brought in contact with schungite, as well as compounds desorbed from the modified surfaces of the mineral and its inorganic components. The analysis has revealed the efficiency of schungite as a low-cost and environmentally friendly sorbent capable of catalyzing the profound oxidation of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and products of its transformation to nontoxic low-molecularmass substances. Environmentally safe methods have been proposed for the regeneration of used schungite.     

Thermal resistance of composites based on nanodispersed aluminum

Thermolysis of low and high molecular aliphatic carboxylated compounds in composite systems based on nanosized aluminum were studied by the thermal desorption mass spectrometry. The conditions for maximal separation of the thermolysis products and their composition were determined. The kinetic parameters of thermal desorption and thermal degradation of the modifiers were calculated. Differences in the thermal stabilities of the polymer composites based on nanosized aluminum and different modifiers (carboxylated divinyl and divinyl nitrile oligomers) were presented.

Correction of systematic errors in the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings

We suggest a novel method for significant improvement of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) spectral characteristics based on compensation of repeatable errors during the grating writing process. The method is based on an open loop scheme in which a test grating is written first and then a corrected design is obtained and implemented by writing another (compensated) grating. The results are presented for a FBG dispersion compensator.     

Solitons and collapse suppression due to parametric interaction in bulk Kerr media

We demonstrate that weak parametric interaction of a fundamental beam with its harmonic field in a Kerr medium can drastically modify the beam dynamics, giving rise to very complex bifurcation phenomena and quasi solitons. Most importantly, we reveal a novel physical mechanism of the collapse suppression in a bulk optical Kerr medium: parametric coupling to a weakly radiating harmonic field.
