Effectiveness test of alginate‐derived polymeric surfactants

A series of alginate‐derived polymeric surfactants (APSs) with a linear alkyl group (C8, C12, C16) was synthesized by oxidation followed by reductive amination of 2,3‐dialdehydic alginate. The products were characterized by measuring IR spectra, NMR spectra, surface tension and critical micelle concentration (cmc). They were also tested for the solubilization of azobenzene and adsorption of heavy metal. In the case of 40% CHO‐C8 APSs, the lowest interfacial tension value (31.5 m Nm^?1) was obtained at the cmc value of 1.35 g dm^?3. The dissolving capacity of 40% CHO‐C8 APS towards azobenzene was 27 times greater than that of alginate. The overall cobalt (Co²⁺) removal efficiency by adsorption using APSs was high compared with that of sodium alginate at pH 3, 5 and 7. Equilibrium aspects of cobalt adsorption onto 10% CHO‐APSs were studied, and the results show that APSs had high equilibrium capacities for cobalt uptake, 115.5 mgg^?1. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

一种基于空间滤波的钢轨表面擦伤检测改进算法

钢轨表面擦伤检测是保障铁路运输安全的重要手段之一。应用图像处理和模式识别技术来处理钢轨数字图像,检测并定位擦伤区域是一种可行且发展迅速的研究手段。课题组在前期工作中提出了一种鲁棒实时的钢轨表面擦伤检测算法,该算法首先对钢轨图像进行灰度对比度增强,在此基础上定位可疑擦伤区域并进行判定。算法对于常规擦伤图像具有较高的检测性能,但对于钢轨图像包含多处擦伤且擦伤区域灰度值差异较大的情况,往往造成漏检。针对原算法的不足,提出了一种基于空间滤波的钢轨表面擦伤检测改进算法,该算法对原算法检测到的擦伤区域进行钢轨灰度图均值填充,并对填充后的图像进行二次检测,在重新生成的灰度对比度图中,原检测图像中灰度值不明显的擦伤区域的灰度对比度值得到增强,从而增加了检出的可能性。经实验结果验证,改进算法具有较高的检测性能:在总的时间耗费没有明显增加的情况下,检测的平均准确率为90.8%,平均漏检率为4.0%,较原算法有较大改善。

以苯并三氮唑、不同链长的卤代烷烃、硫酸二甲酯为原料合成了几种N-烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂,通过IR1、HNMR对中间产物进行结构表征,并对最终产物进行定性分析。测定了所得产物的表面活性和发泡性能,结果表明,合成的N-丁基、辛基、十二烷基、十六烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂最低表面张力分别为:51.0 mN/m、36.5 mN/m、33.4 mN/m、35.4 mN/m;临界胶束浓度分别为:9.0×10-2mol/L、4.8×10-2mol/L、3.0×10-3mol/L、9.7×10-3mol/L。N-丁基、辛基、十二烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂最低表面张力随烷基链增长而降低,但N-十六烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂的最低表面张力却高于N-十二烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂的最低表面张力。合成的表面活性剂中,N-十二烷基苯并三氮唑阳离子表面活性剂的发泡性能最佳,而所有的泡沫稳定性均较差。     

Silica Nanoboxes as New Nano-structured Materials: Their Secondary Synthesis from Alumina-Rich Zeolites

Novel silica nanoboxes were prepared by controlled dealumination of Na-X and Ca-A type zeolites using ammonium hexafluorosilicate (AHFS). The silica-richer the parent zeolite, the smaller the average pore size produced and the narrower the pore size distribution obtained. This was due to the specific reactivity of the extracting agent with the zeolite framework aluminum atoms. High temperature calcination of the dealuminated X-zeolite (ammonium form) resulted in mesoporous materials exhibiting an ink-bottle shape, a quite high surface area (330 m²/g, no micropores), an average pore diameter of 4.5 nm with a quite narrow pore size distribution (± 1.0 nm) and finally, a pore opening diameter of 3.9 nm. The latter was determined by using the nitrogen sorption isotherms (BET technique) and related pore volume data. The sorption behavior also suggested the interconnecting character of the newly created nanoboxes. The periodicity of these nanoboxes throughout the mesoporous material was clearly shown by X-ray powder diffraction at very small angles. These materials, herein called monomodal nanoboxes because of the absence of micropores in the structure, were also thermally stable. Incorporation of orthosilicate into the obtained silica nanoboxes, in accordance with the recently developed technique for pore size engineering in zeolites, led to materials with smaller pore openings but having almost the same textural properties. Solid superacidic materials were prepared by incorporating a liquid superacid (triflic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid) into the silica nanoboxes using the wet impregnation technique. The maximum triflic acid loading which did not significantly affect the mesoporous framework of the materials was 24 wt%. As a reference, the maximum loading of less acidic sulfuric acid was slightly lower. All this showed the high chemical stability of the silica nanoboxes for supporting very acidic species. Temperature-programmed desorption using a combined DTA/TGA system allowed the identification of the bound phases and some liquid phase of the loaded triflic acid.     

Exploration of mesoporous structure of tunisian raw and acid-leached phosphate ore particles

Rock phosphate fractions were examined for their porous structure by nitrogen adsorption. The pore size distribution and the shape of pores does not seem to depend on the particle size. The specific surface area values present two regions, one above and one below that of the particles with 125 μrn diameter. Particles of a given size were leached with dilute phosphoric acid (1.5 mass% P₂O₅) at 25°C. It was observed that there is a widening of the initial pores during leaching. The particles collected at the initial period of the reaction are pitted and those collected at the final period are disintegrated.     

基于三次样条插值的亚像素边缘检测方法

为了实现图像边缘的亚像素定位,针对阶跃形式的边缘类型,提出了一种基于三次样条插值的亚像素边缘检测算法,根据样条插值原理,获得一维边缘的连续灰度分布,通过计算边缘点两侧三次样条函数的二阶导数为零点,实现一维边缘点的亚像素定位;利用一维曲面拟合方法,获得边缘投影方向,根据一维曲面投影方向像素灰度不变理论,利用投影公式将数字窗口中所有三维点投影到相同的投影平面,从而可将二维边缘检测问题转化为一维边缘检测,利用一维边缘检测方法获得边缘点位置,结合投影方向,最终实现二维边缘定位。通过与现有亚像素边缘检测方法的比较,可知算法对噪声具有较好的鲁棒性,同时计算时间相对较快,因此在实际应用中具有较好的适用性。
