X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of the composition and thickness of surface film on the electrocatalytic properties for chlorine gas evolution on amorphous Pd-Ti-P alloy in NaCl solution. The amount of charge for gas evolution exhibited a wavy change with an increase in polarization potential. The gas evolution became active with an increase in palladium content of the surface film and slowed down with increases of titanium and phosphorus contents of the film. However, despite the fact that the formation of surface film consisting mainly of titanium as a cation in the potential region higher than 1.6 V (sce), the catalytic activity for gas evolution increased, suggesting the change in the gas evolution mechanism in the higher potential region. 相似文献
The anodic characteristics of a variety of amorphous palladium-base alloys were examined with a view to their use for the production of sodium hypochlorite by electrolysis of dilute sodium chloride solutions at ambient temperature. The corrosion resistance of palladium-metalloid alloys was obtained by alloying with platinum group metals and/or valve metals. Among these alloys, rhodium-containing alloys showed high electrocatalytic activities for chlorine evolution. Surface activation treatment was, however, necessary to obtain sufficiently high activities for chlorine evolution at low overpotentials. Surface-activated amorphous alloys possessed considerably higher current efficiency for chlorine evolution in comparison with currently used anodes. 相似文献
A refined structural model for in situ oil sands is proposed in terms of the mutual arrangement of sand grains, fines, water and bitumen. In the Athabasca deposit, the sand grains consist mainly of quartz and their packing is such that the porosity is about 35%. In rich oil sand, 10–15% of the pore space is occupied by connate water whereas the remainder is occupied by bitumen. For lower grade oil sands, a direct correlation exists between the water content and the amount of fines (particles smaller than 44 μm) and an inverse correlation exists between the bitumen content and the amount of fines. These relationships are successfully explained in terms of the irreducible water saturation in a porous medium and the double layer interaction between sand and bitumen surfaces. 相似文献
A correlation of the catalytic activity for anodic chlorine evolution of platinum group metals to the nature of the surface film formed during chlorine evolution in a sodium chloride solution was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The change in the surface film with increasing potential was found on platinum, including an increase in the cationic valence. This seemed responsible for the decrease in the activity for chlorine evolution on platinum in the high potential region. Increasing potential did not result in the appreciable increase in the cationic valence in the surface film on the other platinum group metals. Replacement of hydroxyl ions in the surface film by chloride ions became easier in the order of rhodium, iridium and palladium, and the activity for anodic chlorine evolution increased in this order due possibly to an increase in the amount of chloride ions in the film which seemed to be one of the reactants in the rate determining electrochemical desorption of adsorbed chlorine atom. Chlorine molecules adsorbed on the surface film were also found. It was assumed that the activity for anodic chlorine evolution might be low when the metal surface was covered by a large amount of molecular chlorine which was the reaction product. 相似文献
Natural fiber‐reinforced biodegradable polyester composites were prepared from biodegradable polyesters and surface‐untreated or ‐treated abaca fibers (length ca. 5 mm) by melt mixing and subsequent injection molding. Poly(butylene succinate)(PBS), polyestercarbonate (PEC)/poly(lactic acid)(PLA) blend, and PLA were used as biodegradable polyesters. Esterifications using acetic anhydride and butyric anhydride, alkali treatment, and cyanoethylation were performed as surface treatments on the fiber. The flexural moduli of all the fiber‐reinforced composites increased with fiber content. The effect of the surface treatment on the flexural modulus of the fiber‐reinforced composites was not so pronounced. The flexural strength of PBS composites increased with fiber content, and esterification of the fiber by butyric anhydride gave the best result. For the PEC/PLA composites, flexural strength increased slightly with increased fiber content (0–20 wt.‐%) in the case of using untreated fiber, while it increased considerably in the case of using the fiber esterified by butyric anhydride. For the PLA composite, flexural strength did not increase with the fiber reinforcement. The result of soil‐burial tests showed that the composites using untreated fiber have a higher weight loss than both the neat resin and the composites made using acetylated fiber.

The design and preparation of a series of negative resists for KrF excimer laser lithography are described. Each resist is composed of poly(hydroxystyrene) and an aromatic azide. The base resin shows high transmittance of 62%/μm at 248 nm, when p-ethylphenyl p-azidophenylsulfonate. 4-azido-4α-methoxy-chalcone, 1-(4 azidobenzylidene)-3-(α-hydroxy-4-azidobenzyl)-indene, 4,4α-diazido-3,3α-dimethoxybiphenyl, or 1-(4-azidostyryl)-5, 5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one is employed as a sensitizer. These azides are obtained by red-shifting the absorption maxima to lower energy regions than the exposing wavelength of 248 nm. Transmittance of resists can be controlled from 10 to 30%. The resist is exposed with a KrF excimer laser stepper and developed in an alkaline solution. Sensitivities of about 15 mJ/cm2 are observed. A good, subhalf-micron resist profile is achieved. The photochemical reaction mechanisms of poly(hydroxystyrene) and 4,4α-diazido-3,3α-dimethoxybiphenyl were studied at 248 nm and 313 nm exposure. Quantum yield for photodecomposition at 248 nm is seven times larger than that at 313 nm, but dissolution-inhibition effects are larger at 313 nm exposure. Consequently, the resist shows higher sensitivity at 313 nm than at 248 nm. 相似文献
AIN powder was synthesized from aluminum polynuclear complexes. Basic aluminum chloride and basic aluminum lactate were used as the aluminum polynuclear complexes. These starting materials and glucose were dissolved in water and mixed homogeneously. AIN powder was obtained by calcining after drying and precalcining at 800°C under nitrogen gas flow. Then excess carbon was removed by firing in air. Nitridation in the system was investigated and compared with that in the alumina–carbon black system. It was found that in our reaction system nitridation began and proceeded at lower calcination temperatures above 1200°C than in the alumina–carbon black system. Using aluminum polynuclear complexes, AIN was synthesized through the nitridation of γ-alumina and produced in a very fine and sharp particle size distribution. 相似文献
Preparation of anodes for oxygen evolution in seawater electrolysis was carried out. Manganese-molybdenum double oxides, Mn1−xMoxO2+x, prepared by anodic deposition from MnSO4-Na2MoO4 solutions showed the 100% oxygen evolution efficiency at a current density of 1000 A m−2 in 0.5 M NaCl at 30 °C and pH 12, but an increase in solution temperature resulted in dissolution of the oxides as molybdate and permanganate ions. In order to increase the stability of the electrodes at higher temperatures the addition of iron to the manganese-molybdenum oxides was performed by anodic deposition in MnSO4-Na2MoO4-FeNH4(SO4)2 solutions. The electrodes thus prepared showed the 100% oxygen evolution efficiency at 1000 A m−2 in 0.5 M NaCl at 30-90 °C, when proper amounts of molybdenum and iron were contained. The iron addition also enhanced the oxygen evolution efficiency. The electrodes were not composed of oxide mixtures but triple oxides, Mn1−x−yMoxFeyO2+x−0.5y, consisting of Mn4+, Mo6+ and Fe3+. The formation of the triple oxides seemed responsible for enhancement of both oxygen evolution efficiency and stability. 相似文献
The composition of free primary alcohols in oils and waxes obtained from the germ, kernel, seed coat, shell and skin (peel)
of various nuts, seeds, fruits and cereals and from the chrysalis of silkworm was examined. These alcohols are usually present
in small amounts, along with large quantities of hydrocarbons, esters and glycerides in oils and waxes. Thus, it is necessary
to remove hydrocarbons, esters and glycerides to analyze the alcohols. We found that preparative reverse-phase thin-layer
chromatography (TLC) was the best way to isolate alcohols from oils and waxes. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) then detected
hexacosanol, octacosanol and triacontanol in the oils and waxes. Octacosanol usually was the predominant alcohol. Relationships
between the organs from nuts, seeds, fruits and cereals and the contents of octacosanol are suggested. For example, degermed
kernels contained two times more octacosanol than the germ, and the skin coat and shell contained one-half and one-fortieth
the octacosanol of the germ, respectively. 相似文献
We have previously reported that platelet-activating factor (PAF) induces proliferation and microbicidal activity of guinea
pig bone marrow cells. In the present study, we have found that the conditioned medium of PAF- or nonmetabolizable PAF agonist-treated
guinea pig bone marrow cells augmented DNA synthesis and induced microbicial activity of bone marrow cells. A PAF specific
antagonist, CV-6209, inhibited generation of the active conditioned medium by PAF. Addition of the PAF antagonist only partially
suppressed the augmentative effect of the active conditioned medium on DNA synthesis; this is consistent with the fact that,
because of the rapid breakdown, no appreciable amount of PAF remained in the conditioned medium of PAF-treated cells. Although
mouse bone marrow cells did not respond to PAF unlike guinea pig cells, their DNA synthesis was significantly enhanced by
the conditioned medium of PAF-treated guinea pig bone marrow cells. Thus, some newly generated factor(s) distinct from the
originally inoculated PAF seemed to modulate the bioactions of PAF on bone marrow cells. An appreciable amount of PAF was
produced by calcium ionophore-treated guinea pig bone marrow cells. These findings indicate that PAF synthesized in guinea
pig bone marrow cells induces generation in the cells of some factor(s) which affects proliferation or microbicidal activity.
