Abstract:
Microcrystalline magnesium containing a small amount of manganese(i.e.microcrystal Mg(Mn)) has been prepared by an arc vaporization-condensation method. XRD indicated that the microcrystalline Mg(Mn) powder has a main phase of microcrystalline Mg remaining the hexa nal crystal structure. The TEM micrographs showed that some wadding was inlaid on the surface of the microcrystalline Mg and the particle size was about 100~500 nm. It exhibits high capacity for hydrogen storage(6.2%) and high speed for hydrogen desorption at 280 ℃. This characteristic is advantageous to the application of hydrogen storage.

Abstract:
Poly-2-aminopyridine was synthesized using potential cycling in the solution of 0.43 mol•dm-3 2-aminopyridine and 0.01 mol•dm-3 NaOH. There are three pairs of redox peaks on the cyclic voltammogram of poly-2-aminopyridine in the solution of 1.0 mol•dm-3 ZnCl2 (pH=4.99). The experiments of rotating ring-disk electrode(RRDE)indicate that an intermediate is generated in the initiation of polymerization. The IR spectra indicate that poly-2-aminopyridine has head-to-tail structure. According to the results of atom force microscope the average particle size of poly-2-aminopyridine is about 893.4 nm, and the average distance between particles is about 255 nm. The discharge behavior of the battery consisting poly-2-aminopyridine as cathode, and zinc as anode in an electrolytic solution of 2.5 mol•dm-3 ZnCl2+3.0 mol•dm-3 NH4Cl (pH=5.5) is very similar to that of the battery of Li-SOCl2. The discharge curve is very flat in the middle region.

Abstract:
Excited states b1Σ+ and ground states X3Σ- for molecules NX(X=F,Cl,Br) have been calculated using density functional theory(DFT) Becke 3LYP.In comparison of the calculated results with f orbitals basis set 6-311+G(3df) and that without f orbitals basis sets cc-pvDZ and 6-311+G,it is instructive to notice that the polarization function f orbitals significantly contribute to improve in bond lengths Re and vibration frequencies ωe for NCl and NBr,but not for NF.Therefore,the f orbitals not only play some subtle aspects in bonding for lanthanides and actinides,but also for the elements lighter than lanthanum.

Abstract:
This work examined the shape,half-life,Zeta potential and other properties of colloidal liquid aphrons (CLA),whose aqueous phase is composed of de-ionized water and alcohol.The volume ratio of water to alcohol varies while the concentration of water-soluble surfactant does not change.It is found that the existence of alcohol in the aqueous phase will affect the surface tension between the oil and water phase,hence the particle size and distribution of CLA will change.The influence of alcohal on the Zeta potential of CLA is very weak.The main cause of the change of stability is that alcohol molecule is embedded into the SDBS layer and a mixed soapy film is formed,which changes the intensity of the soapy film .The viscosity of the aqueous phase change also,which affects the process of drainage.When the concentration of alcohol reaches 30%,the most stable CLA appears,while the worst stable one appears at 50%.   In the application of pre-dispersed solvent extraction,we need a stable and small-sized CLA with a large matter transferring area,and the cost should be low.This will be benefit for the industrialization of the method.The results of this work prove that by adding alcohol into the aqueous phase ,we can get the CLA with great satisfactory for industrial use.

Abstract:
A theoretical calculation is made of the nonequilibrium dissociation of the diatomic molecule with the vibration-dissociation coupling behind a strong shock wave front.The distinguishing feature of this work is to take the molecular fundamental parameters as the starting point for calculation.The master equation method is applied to study the coupling between vibrational excitation and dissociation.The vibrational transition probabilities are calculated with the SSH theory.In the neighborhood of the dissociation limit,the multi-quantum transitions are taken into account and the effect of atom recombination is considered.In a O2-Ar mixture,the variation of many of the physical quantities of O2 molecule behind a primary shock front with time are calculated out,such as the vibrational energy level distribution,the vibrational relaxation time,the dissociation incubation time,the dissociation product concentration and the dissociation rate coefficient.The calculated results are found to be in a od agreement with those experimental data given by Camac and Wray,respectively.It is demonstrated in the calculation that a quasi-steady state emerges at the late stage after the shock passage during which the vibrational energy level distribution persists almost constant,Park's model underestimates the nonequilibrium dissociation rate coefficient and Hansen's model overestimates the nonequilibrium dissociation rate coefficient.

Abstract:
A new Cellular automaton model for the bicatalytic CO+O2 surface reaction is introduced by means of building oriented two-pointed "superstructure" in lattice.Reactions can only happen in superstructures.   We use reaction probability as variable to control reactions in superstructures.We use rate-per-α as variable to determine the optimum configuration for a series of α′s occupation from 1/9 to 8/9(3×3 lattice as unit) and from 1/16 to 15/16(4×4 lattice as unit).

[Abstract](3840) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1537KB](2722)
Abstract:
The acidity and basicity of alkali cation exchanged Y zeolites were investigated systematically using pyridine and pyrrole as the TPD and IR spectroscopic probe respectively. It was found that the overall Lewis basicity in the modified Y zeolites increased and the Lewis acidity in the modified Y zeolites decreased as the cation was exchanged from LiY to CsY in the alkali cation series. The adsorption of benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene on Y zeolites modified by alkali cations were also studied comparatively by IR spectroscopy and TPD. The following results were obtained: (1)The adsorption of pyridine on modified Y zeolites could also be used to characterize the acidity and basicity of alkali cation exchanged Y zeolites; (2) The C-H stretching frequencies of aromatic ring, of CH3 on the side-chain of toluene, and of -CH2- on the side-chain of ethylbenzene shifted towards lower wavenumber as the cation was exchanged from LiY to CsY; (3)The adsorption strength and the amount of sorbed aromatics on modified Y zeolites were related to the basicity of alkali cation exchanged Y zeolites.

Abstract:
The adsorption and oxidation of n-propyl alcohol on Pt and Pt modified with saturated adsorped Sb and S (Pt/Sbad and Pt/Sad ) electrodes were studied using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM).The results demonstrated that the oxidation of n-propyl alcohol depends strongly on the oxidation states of the electrode surface.Sb adatoms on Pt surface can adsorb oxygen at relatively low potentials,and exhibit catalytic effects for n-propyl alcohol oxidation.In comparison with n-propyl alcohol oxidation at a Pt electrode,the oxidation peak potential of n-propyl alcohol on Pt surface modified with saturated Sbad was negatively shifted about 290 mV and the peak current was doubly increased.In contrary,the oxidation of S adatoms consumes oxygen species of Pt electrode surface.Consequently,the oxidation of n-propyl alcohol was inhibited on Pt surface modified with Sbad in saturation.The EQCM studies provided quantitative results of surface mass changes during n-propyl alcohol oxidation,and have thrown new light in elucidating different effects of adatoms Sbad and Sad on Pt electrode surface towards n-propyl alcohol oxidation.

Abstract:
The atmospheric corrosion of A3 steel with deposited (NH4)2SO4 particles has been investigated at 298 K and relative humidity of (85±5)%.Corrosion kinetics curves show that A3 steel with deposited (NH4)2SO4 particles corroded more seriously than that without (NH4)2SO4 particles.IR,SEM/EDAX and XPS were utilized to study the development and characterization of corrosion products.The results indicate that A3 steels with (NH4)2SO4 particles corroded much faster than that without (NH4)2SO4 particles,and the corrosion of A3 steel initiated along the deposition area of (NH4)2SO4 particles,and formed basic iron sulfate.A corrosion mechanism was proposed to explain the observation.

Abstract:
The dilational viscoelasticity of the interfacial film formed by interfacial active components of crude oil at n-decane/water interface was investigated.The interfacial active components was obtained by supercritical fluid extraction and fractionation(SFEF) method from Iranian heavy oil.The properties of the two samples that have different average molecular weights and the influence of temperature on these properties were studied.The results show that the sample of higher average molecular weight has higher dynamic interfacial dilational activity.From the slope of the lg|ε|~lgω curve and the result of phase angle we can infer that the primary relaxation mechanism is not of diffusion-control but perhaps of adsorption-barrier-control.Temperature profoundly influences the dilational viscoelasticity of interfacial films of the two samples.Increasing temperature decreases the amplitude of dilational modulus and viscosity of the film,and alter the frequency response of phase angle of dilational modulus.

Abstract:
Heat capacities of N-(p-methylphenyl)-N′-(2-pyridyl)urea were determined by low temperature adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range of 80 to 370 K. It is found that there is no heat anomaly in this temperature region. With the experimental heat capacities thermodynamic functions were calculated. To investigate the thermal stability and decomposition characteristics of N-(p-methylphenyl)-N′-(2-pyridyl)urea, DSC and TG experiments were carried out. The results indicated that N-(p-methylphenyl)-N′-(2-pyridyl)urea started to melt at 153 ℃ and the melting peak located at 173.86 ℃. The melting enthalpy is 204.45 kJ•mol-1. The decomposition peak of N-(p-methylphenyl)-N′-(2-pyridyl)urea was found at 226.11 ℃ from DSC curve. This result is similar with that from TG and DTG experiment, in which the weight loss peak was determined as 227.2 ℃.

Abstract:
A series of Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalysts modified by CeO2 and La2O3 were prepared by impregnation method with different La2O3,CeO2 dope manners.Methanol decomposition was used as a probe reaction.The structure of the catalysts was characterized by means of BET,XRD,XPS and FTIR.The results showed that a La2O3 -CeO2 solid solution was facile to form by La3+ dissolution into CeO2 lattice.The dimension of CeO2 particles decreased,while the dispersion and crystal plane of Pd and the Pd-CeO2 interaction varied with La2O3,CeO2 dope manners.High dispersion of Pd and a strong interaction between Pd and CeO2 were observed on a La2O3 and CeO2 modified Pd/Al2O3 catalyst with La2O3-CeO2 successive dope manner,which resulted in high activity for methanol decomposition.

[Abstract](3468) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1426KB](2457)
Abstract:
The hydrolysis reactions of Pen-K in water and in CTAB micelles have been studied by UV spectra. The results show that CTAB micelles can inhibit the hydrolysis, but the tendency of pH value change of the hydrolysis of Pen-K in the CTAB micelles is the same as that in water, which indicates that H+ concentration has small effect on the inhibition. The investigations of IR and micro-polarity show that the stability of Pen-K is increased by the location of some Pen-K in the railings of the CTAB micelles.
