When bituminous coal is heated in an inert atmosphere (He) containing small amounts of oxygen at 393–455 °C, pyrite (FeS2) in coal is partially converted to magnetite (Fe304). The maximum amount of Fe304 formed during the time of heating corresponds to 5–20% of the total pyrite present, depending on the coal sample. The magnetite forms as an outer crust on the pyrite grains. The fact that the magnetic properties of the pyrite grains are substantially increased by the magnetite crust suggests that pyrite can be separated from coal by use of a low magnetic field. In a laboratory test, 75% removal is obtained by means of a 500 Oe magnet on three samples, and 60% on a fourth sample. 相似文献
Cholesterol 5α,6α-epoxide (α-epoxide) and cholesterol 5β,6β-epoxide (β-epoxide) were individually suspended in simulated gastric
juice (pH 1.2) at 37 C, and their reaction was followed by gradient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with flame
ionization (FID) detection. Both epoxides reacted rapidly in the aqueous acid medium. The α-epoxide formed 6β-chlorocholestane-3β,5α-diol
(α-chlorohydrin) and 5α-cholestane-3β,5,6β-triol (triol), while the β-epoxide formed 5α-chlorocholestane-3β,6β-diol (β-chlorohydrin)
and triol. The isomeric chlorohydrins reacted further to form the triol. In mildly alkaline aqueous medium, each chlorohydrin
reverted to the epoxide from which it was formed. The data suggest that both epoxides, which have been reported to have adverse
health effects in animals, would be largely hydrolyzed in the stomach and to the triol, which also has been reported to have
biological activity. The data furher suggest that residual chlorohydrins surviving stomach residence can be expected to revert
to epoxide in the more alkaline intestinal environment. 相似文献
An aerosol dynamics model, AERO2, is presented, which describes the formation of H2SO4-H2O aerosol in a smog chamber. The model is used to analyse how the uncertainties on four input parameters are propagated through an aerosol dynamics model. The input parameters are: the rate of the reaction between SO2 and OH (k1), the ratio between the nucleation rate used in AERO2 and that derived from classical nucleation theory (tn), the H2SO4 mass accommodation coefficient () and a measure of the turbulence intensity in the reactor (ke). Uncertainties for these parameters are taken from the literature. One of the results of the analysis is that AERO2 and aerosol dynamics models in general can only predict upper bounds for the total number (Ntot) and total volume (Vtot) concentrations of the particles. The uncertainties on Ntot and Vtot are mainly due to the uncertainties on k1, and tn. An uncertainty factor of 20–100 still remains when the uncertainty on k1, is reduced to ±5%. Aerosol measurements from three smog chamber experiments have therefore been used, in an attempt to reduce the uncertainty on k1 and tn. Values for k1 are obtained in the reduced range 7.8 × 10−13 to 1.0 × 10−12 cm3 s−1, which is within the range found in the literature. For tn, values in the range 104–107 are obtained, which is close to the upper bound of the range in literature. These values for tn are in marked contrast with a recent set of experiments on nucleation in H2SO4-H2O mixtures, which suggests a value for tn of at most 10−5. 相似文献
Experiments were conducted to (1) determine whether the electroantennogram (EAG) can detect differences among the responses of antennae from males derived from the three strains ofOstrinia nubilalis (Hübner), and (2) characterize the EAG responses of each strain to isomeric forms of the natural pheromone, (E)- and (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-ol acetate (TDA), and analogs possessing differences in the terminal alkyl group, cyclopropyl (CPA), ortert-butyl (TBA).EAG responses differed among the strains in two ways: (1) Antennae fromZZ males always produced an EAG to (Z)-TDA with an extended duration of response. This signature EAG response was found to be unique to the antennal response ofZZ males to (Z)-TDA, thus providing a relatively easy method of distinguishing liveZZ males fromEE orZE males. Correlated with this longer EAG response was a longer disadaptation time, i.e., the EAG response ofZZ antennae disadapted more slowly (ca. 10 min) than the response ofEE antennae. (2) Strain differences in the relative EAG amplitudes to isomers and analogs were observed at the stimulus amounts eliciting the peak EAG amplitude as follows: TDA CPA > TBA forZZ males and both isomers; TDA > CPA TBA and CPA TDA > TBA forEE males and theE andZ isomers, respectively; CPA > TBA TDA forZE males and both isomers. Dose—response relationships were seen for all compounds if amplitude (peak height) of the EAG was used as a measure of response. However, if width of the EAG at half the peak height (peak width) was used, then only theZZ antennal response to (Z)-TDA resulted in a meaningful dose-response relationship. For all strains, the EAG amplitudes elicited by theZ isomers of any of the tested compounds were greater than those elicited by the correspondingE isomers. Therefore, correlations between the relative EAG and upwind flight responses were observed in theZZ (r = 0.86) andZE (r = 0.80) strains but were not correlated in theEE strain (r = 0.18). Temporal studies showed that adaptation, not postexcision deterioration, was responsible for the observed decreases in the EAG amplitude after repetitive stimulation or after stimulation with amounts in a descending order. Disa-daptation required at least 20 min for a moderate dose (10 g for 1 sec). Developmental studies showed that antennae from 2-day-old adults had the greatest EAG response. 相似文献
Carboxyl functional liquid crystalline (LC) acrylic copolymers were synthesized and were compared with carboxyl functional control copolymers of M?n about 5000–15,000. Both types were crosslinked with a hexakismethoxymethyl melamine (HMMM) resin at 150°C, a temperature below the clearing points of the LC copolymers. Birefringent phases were visible in the crosslinked films made from LC polymers. FT-IR indicated the presence of unreacted COOH in all crosslinked materials. Unreacted COOH groups in crosslinked LC copolymers appeared only slightly higher than those in crosslinked amorphous copolymers. The potential utility of these LC copolymers as binders for thermosetting coatings was assessed. Variables studied were HMMM content, the length of PHBA grafts, Tg and M?n of the acrylic copolymer backbone, and functionality. Optimum LC copolymers have low backbone Tg (<O°C) and low functionality (< 7.5 mol %). Cured films of such copolymers have both high hardness (> 35 KHN), high impact resistance (> 80 in. ib), excellent adhesion, and good solvent resistance. 相似文献
A variety of crosslinked phenol-, or derivatized phenol-formaldehyde polymers have been synthesized. The phenol derivatives included o- and p-cresol, p-nonylphenol, m-pentadecylphenol, and raw and distilled cashew nutshell liquid. The derivatives were copolymerized with phenol and formaldehyde using sulfuric acid as catalyst to yield novolak-type prepolymers, which were then cured with hexamethylenetetramine. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the thermal stability of the cured resins. It was found that the thermal stability of the resins decreased with increasing amounts of cashew nutshell liquid, with distilled cashew resins being slightly more thermally stable than raw cashew resins. The thermal stability of resins containing substituted phenols with alkyl chains was observed to increase from n-pentadecylphenol to cresol to phenol. The trend in thermal stability of the resins may be explained on the basis of alkyl groups being less thermally stable than aromatic rings. The amount of hexamethylenetetramine used to cure the prepolymers also influences the thermal stability of the resins. It appears that a level of 10 to 15% hexamethylenetetramine maximizes the thermal stability of the resin. 相似文献
A novel approach to reduce electrode costs in ceramic capacitors is presented. Barium metaplumbate (BaPbO3) was fired onto sintered commercial (Ba, Sr)TiO3 disk capacitors as external electrodes. Samples were compared to disk capacitors of the same composition with electrodes made of sputtered gold and air-dried silver. The ceramic electrode led to substantial changes in the insulation resistance and dc breakdown strengths, but other properties remained the same. The feasibility of using BaPbO3 electrodes strongly depends on chemical reactions between the electrode and dielectric. 相似文献
A series of new, substituted pyromellitic dianhydrides were synthesized from 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene. New soluble rigid-rod polyimides were obtained from the dianhydrides and 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-biphenyl (PFMB) in phenolic solvents in the presence of isoquinoline as a catalyst. The polyimides are soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), m-cresol and other solvents, in spite of having no bending in their rigid structures.
UV irradiation changed color of the polyimide solutions and also their viscosity. We observed new absorbance in the 700-nm region and an ESR signal by UV irradiation. The new visible absorbance and the ESR signal are derived from the same origin. They are attributed to the anion radical of the diimide moiety in the polyimide as deduced from the hyper fine structure of the ESR signal. In addition, UV irradiation diminishes the solution viscosity. 相似文献
Summary: The dicationic [(dppp)Pd(NCCH3)2](BF4)2 catalyst (dppp = 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) was applied in a liquid monomer, two phase process for the CO/propene copolymerization reaction. For the first time it was possible to synthesize propene/CO copolymers with an activity up to 7 500 g/(mol · h) and molecular weights of 500 000 g/mol. Activities up to 40 000 g/(mol · h) could be obtained with the use of the unsymmetric catalyst [(CF3‐dppp)Pd(NCCH3)](BF4)2 (CF3‐dppp = 1‐diphenylphosphino‐3‐bis[3,5‐di(trifluormethyl)phenyl]phosphinopropane) in homogeneous liquid propene solution.
Any shortfall in the required depth during milling machining can affect the dimensional accuracy of the part produced and can cause a catastrophic failure to the machine. Corrective remedies to fix the dimensions inaccuracy will increase the machining time and costs. In this work, a depth-of-cut monitoring system was proposed to detect depth of cut in real time using an acoustic emission sensor and prediction model. The characteristics of the sensor signal obtained in machining processes can be complex in terms of both nonlinearity and nonstationarity. To overcome this complexity, a regression model and an artificial neural network model were used to represent the relationship between the acoustic emission signal and the depth of cut. The model was tested under different machining cases and found to be efficient in predicting the depth of cut. 相似文献
