The Mixed Compounds of Calcium and Titanium With Tiron. I

A pH-spectrophotometric study of the Ti-tiron complex in the presence of Ca ions revealed the existence of mixed compounds of Ca-Ti-tiron. These could account for the interference of Ca in the determination of Ti by tiron. The formation of these mixed compounds under varying concentrations of components and at varying pH is discussed. The absorbance of the Ti-tiron was likewise studied in the presence of many colorless salt solutions, but the behavior of Ca was found to be unique. Use was made of the color of the mixed compounds of Ca-Ti-tiron to develop a method for the identification of small amounts of Ca in the presence of large quantities of many common salts.     

Effect of cooling rate on melt-crystallization of random propylene-ethylene and propylene-1-butene copolymers

Summary  The effect of variation of the rate of cooling on melt-crystallization of random copolymers of isotactic polypropylene with low amount of either ethylene or 1-butene is evaluated using X-ray techniques, atomic force microscopy, and calorimetry. Slow non-isothermal melt-crystallization mainly results in formation of monoclinic α-crystals of lamellar geometry. The presence of comonomers leads to a decrease of the degree of crystallinity, and of the thickness of lamellae. These changes are proportional to the concentration of co-units, and are more distinct in propylene-ethylene copolymers. Rapid cooling of propylene-1-butene copolymers leads to formation of non-lamellar mesomorphic domains, independent of the concentration of co-units within the investigated range of concentrations. In quenched propylene-ethylene copolymers, in contrast, the formation of mesomorphic structure partially is replaced by formation of monoclinic α-crystals of still non-lamellar geometry.     

Capillarity and water repellency of fabrics

A method of determining the contact angle of wetting of fibres in the capillaries of fabrics is proposed. A theoretical calculation of the angles of wetting of cotton and blended fabric fibres with water was performed in the condition of formation of a uniform hydrocarbon film on the surface of the fibres. The real contact angles of wetting of water-repellent fabrics were determined; they differ from the angles of wetting of uniform hydrocarbon films by 10-12% due to the presence of hydrophilic molecules of the emulsifiers in the modifying film.     

Effectiveness of operation of a DVKh-1000 mixer in the production of electrical periclase powders

Conclusions The DVKh-1000 mixer provides a completely satisfactory degree of uniformity of the chemical and grain size compositions of the material in production of electrical periclase powders. The optimum conditions are obtained with a weight of charged material of 1.4–1.6 tons and a mixing time of 20 min. The coefficient of averaging is 0.60–0.80 for the content of the impurity CaO and 0.64–0.86 for the grain size composition.With a change in the requirements of the standard for grain size composition of electrical periclase powders and also with a change in the method of their production the optimum operating conditions of the mixer may be established on the basis of special additional investigations.The use of methods of geometrization of quality criteria in mineral resources for evaluation of the degree of uniformity of a material in mixing made it possible to establish an effect consisting of the fact that such properties as plasticity and viscosity characteristics of the aggregate condition of a substance (solid, liquid, gaseous) are revealed in the geometric features of the change in quality criteria and physical and technical characteristics of the pulverized and bulk material. This effect explains the existence of some limit of uniformity in mixing of materials with a different degree of variability of its quality criteria. The numerical value of this limit is determined by the physical properties of the material and the design features of the mixing equipment. For the investigated material and type of mixer this limit is 0.06–0.08%.Translated from Ogneupory, No. 8, pp. 41–45, August, 1988.     

Functional properties of proteins in foods

The measurement of functionality of protein food ingredients has developed somewhat haphazardly, probably due to the wide range of proteins used as ingredients and the diversity of foods. Studies of the physiochemical properties of proteins should enable prediction of a proteins response to process environments and prove more fruitful than many of the empirical measurements of functionality. The effects of pH, salt type and concentration on the phase behaviour of the oilseed globulin and arachin, demonstrates the complexity of protein solubility and the inadequacies of simple tests that have arisen. Studies of the effects of salts and conditioning on meat fibres, coupled with measurement of the location of water in pellets from water holding tests enable the latter to be applied with increased confidence. Comparison of the endothermic transitions observed on heating with the development of storage and loss moduli allow the contributions of domains of skeletal muscle myosin to gel structure to be investigated.     

Study of the criteria for radial distribution of components in cross sections of yarn by computer modeling

Experiments were conducted on computer modeling of the cross section of two-component yarn. The sensitivity of each of the criteria of radial distribution of the fibres in the cross section of yarn made from a blend of chemical fibres was determined. The area of application of each criterion was determined with consideration of the results of the computer experiments.

International Conference on Chemical Fibres. Chemical Fibres: Present and Future. Look at the Next Century. Part 2

The trends in the development of chemical fibre production processes are analyzed and the general characteristics of the change in their manufacture as a function of the fundamental determining factors are found. The characteristics of chemical fibre production processes and subsequent treatments are examined and the possibilities of optimizing and intensifying existing technologies and improving the properties of the fibres by physical and chemical modification are demonstrated. Fibre formation in nature and industry is compared. The possibilities of creating new fibre production technologies, using methods of bionics in particular, are demonstrated. The development of the raw-material base for chemical fibres, including finding new sources of raw materials, is evaluated. The development of alternative principles for spinning chemical fibres and new technologies and types of fibres should be expected: production of fibres of the Lyocell type by dissolving cellulose in organic solvents will solve the problem of development of hydrated cellulose fibres, which is important due to the gradual decrease in production of viscose fibres; creation of fibres based on synthetic polypeptides of the fibroin type and production of chemical fibres @mdash; close analogs of natural silk and cobwebs; use of the principles of bionics based on synthesis of regular block-copolymers of defined structure which allow regulating the properties of the fibres by their self-organization. Use of water as a solvent will allow creating @ldquo;environmentally clean@rdquo; fibre production processes. The development of polyvinyl alcohol fibre production is due to the creation of new methods of synthesis of polyvinyl alcohol. Water is also the basic component of solvents of synthetic polypeptides. New, alternative raw-material sources based on synthesis of monomers from atmospheric components (carbon dioxide, nitrogen) and water, biotechnological processes, growth of highly productive cellulose-containing crops, and others are becoming important for ensuring increasing chemical fibre production volumes.
