A monitoring program was performed to investigate heavy metal content alteration due to exploratory drilling for oil using non-aqueous fluids (NAFs) in Brazilian offshore, 900 m deep. Fourteen elements were monitored in 54 sites and it was verified that after drilling activities the average Ba concentration was remarkably increased with respect to background level, even 1 year after the activity. A minor increase in Mn and a moderate increase in Al concentrations were verified. The Cd, Cr, Ni, As, Co, Cu, Pb, V, and Zn concentrations were at the background levels, ca. 1 year after the NAFs drilling materials deposition on the seafloor. The Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn mean concentrations were significantly different (P<0.05) between the three sampling operations (cruises) performed, while As, Cd, Fe and Pb presented different mean values according to the distance of the oil well, independent of the sampling operation. Interaction between sampling operation and distance was observed for Mn. In all sediment samples the Hg concentration was below the detection limit (0.07 μg g−1). 相似文献
Elastomer materials are used in a wide application range and subjected to different loading from which failure of the material results. Because this failure is caused by initiation and propagation of cracks, the application of fracture mechanics methods for the assessment of the material is obvious. A short summary of the methods of technical fracture mechanics including possibilities of determination of crack resistance curves is given. Vulcanizates on the basis of SBR 1500 with various sulfur and carbon black contents were investigated. For describing the crack initiation and crack propagation behavior, several fracture mechanics examination methods were applied. Tear‐analyzer results were used to assess the crack propagation behavior under fatigue‐like loading conditions. Furthermore, for the characterization of the crack resistance of the materials under impact‐like loading conditions, instrumented tensile‐impact tests were performed. To obtain information about the initiation and propagation of a stable crack, quasi‐static fracture mechanics tests were applied. The results of the several tests are discussed in dependence on sulfur and carbon black contents. We found a non‐monotonous behavior of the toughness as a function of carbon black loading. An explanation is given in connection with a percolation‐like transition in filler morphology on larger length scales.

Composite polymer electrolyte based on a new class of filler added to a PEGDME/LiClO4 model system has been investigated. “Ceramic super acids” used consist of grafted SO42− groups on Al2O3 particles surface obtained by calcinations route. Conductivity, DSC and FT-IR measurements performed on such composite electrolytes, when compared to the model PEGDME/LiClO4 electrolyte, showed only slight improvement of their inner characteristics. In contrary, Li/Li symmetric cells study, by means of impedance spectroscopy, has presented a spectacular decrease of the interfacial resistance compare to the model electrolyte. This result opens a new pathway of investigation to master the lithium metal/polymer electrolyte interface. 相似文献
Oxidation activity and stability under reaction was investigated for a series of mixed oxide catalysts, doped or not by a precious metal (Pd, Pt). The reaction feedstock, containing CO, H2, CH4, CO2 and H2O, simulated gases issued from H2 production processes for fuel cells. Contrarily to conventional noble metal catalysts, mixed oxide samples present generally good stability under reaction at high temperature. The activities measured for the perovskite and hexaaluminate catalysts, are however largely lower than that of the reference Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. High activities were obtained after impregnation of 1.1 wt.% Pd or 0.8 wt.% Pt on the hexaaluminates samples. Even if Pd/Al2O3 was found to present a high activity, this sample suffered from drastic deactivation at 700 °C. Better stability were obtained on perovskite. Furthermore, doping hexaaluminate by Pt led to samples with good activities and high stability. Even if better activities were obtained by doping the hexaaluminate samples by Pd, the Pd/BaAl12O19 strongly deactivated, as it was previously observed for the reference catalyst. Interestingly, this Pd deactivation was not observed when Pd was impregnated on the Mn substituted hexaaluminate, leading to a stable and active catalyst. This suggests that it is possible to stabilize the palladium in its oxidized form at high temperature (700 °C) on the surface of some supports. 相似文献
During storage and use, vegetable oil-derived industrial products such as biodiesel and biodegradable lubricants can be subjected
to conditions that promote oxidation of their unsaturated components. The materials arising during oxidation and subsequent
degradation can seriously impair the quality and performance of such products. Therefore, oxidative stability is a significant
issue facing these vegetable oil-derived products, and enhanced understanding of the influence of various components of vegetable
oils and storage parameters is necessary. In this work, the oil stability index (OSI) was used for assessing oxidation of
monoalkyl esters of FA by varying several parameters. Neat fatty compounds and prepared mixtures thereof were studied for
assessing the influence of compound structure and concentration. Small amounts of more highly unsaturated compounds had a
disproportionately strong effect on oxidative stability. The recently developed concept of bis-allylic equivalents correlated
more closely than the iodine value with the OSI times of mixtures of fatty esters. The OSI times of free acids were shorter
than those of the corresponding alkyl esters. The presence of copper, iron, and nickel also reduced oxidative stability, but
their effect was less than the presence of more highly unsaturated fatty compounds. Of these metals, copper had the strongest
catalytic effect on OSI time. OSI may be an alternative to long-term storage tests for determining the influence of extraneous
materials such as metals on oxidative stability. 相似文献
