Electropolyrnerization of polypyrrole on PFIL-PSS-modified electrodes without added support electrolytes

A novel polyelectrolyte-functionalized ionic liquid (PFIL)/poly(4-styrene sulfonate sodium) (PSS) modified electrode composed of the coaxial and coplanar working, reference and counter electrodes, was used to electropolymerize the polypyrrole. The PFIL/PSS was modified on the integrated electrode (IE) and connected by the working, reference and counter electrodes, resulting in an available charge transfer and lower Ohmic potential drop between the working and counter electrodes. Then polypyrrole (PPy) film was successfully prepared electrochemically without any participation of supporting electrolytes, only in a pyrrole monomer solution. The resulting PPy film in PFIL/PSS matrix exhibited a preferable electroactivity. Subsequently, influence of the modifications on the formation of PPy was further discussed. The results indicated that the synergetic cooperation of PFIL and PSS components accomplished such a successful electropolymerization of PPy.

The VUV spectra properties of (Y,Gd)BO3 : Eu

The (Y, Gd) BO3 : Eu phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction, The UV spectra showed that in a certain range of Gd3+ concentration, more Gd3+ absorbed energy and transferred it to Eu3+ with its increasing concentration. From the spectra in VUV region, it was observed that both the doping and the concentrations of Gd3+, Eu3+ greatly affected the absorption of the host lattice. The absorbances at 147 nm and 170 nm increased when the Gd3+ was doped which can be explained as that Gd3+ transferred energy to BO4. The optical properties of (Y, Gd)BO3 : Eu were the best when the concentration of Eu3+ was about 0.04.

Luminescent properties of Gd3PO7 : Eu in UV/VUV region

The luminescent properties of Gd3PO7:Eu were investigated in W and VUV regions. This phosphor has such strong emissions around 618.5 nn under UV excitation, especially around 209nn, that it has a better colour saturation than that of Y2O3:Eu. It could be a new potential red phosphor for lamp and other applications with W-excitation source or even for displaying devices. In the VUV excitation spectrum of Eu3+ emissions, energy absorptions by Gd3+, Gd-O and PO43- have been observed, on which it can be inferred that there are three kinds of energy transferring processes to Eu-3(+) ions. The energy absorptions of Gd3+, Gd-O and PO43- are induced by 4f --> 4f transitions, a bandgap transition of Gd3PO7 and intramolecular (2t(2) --> 2a, 3t(2)) transition, respectively. The energy transfer efficiency of the PO43- intramolecular transition is lower compared with that of the bandgap transition (Gd-O).

RAPID-DETERMINATION OF KINETIC-PARAMETERS FOR THE ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF DIOXYGEN BY VITAMIN-B12 ADSORBED ON GLASSY-CARBON ELECTRODE

In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of vitamin B-12, ie cyanocobalamin (abbr. VB12) in a weak acidic aqueous solution and adsorbed on glassy carbon (GC) surface (abbr. VB12(ad)/GC) in different pH buffer solutions have been described by using cyclic voltammetry (cv). It is found that VB12 and VB12(ad)/GC exhibit catalytic activity for the electroreduction of O2 according to two reduction peaks at -0.50 and -1.00 V vs. sce; but their electrocatalytic activity is very unstable. Based on the method of hydrodynamic amperometry [B. Miller and S. Bruckenstein, J. electrochem. Soc. 117, 1033 (1970)], some kinetic parameters for the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 by VB12(ad)/GC have been determined rapidly by using a linear rotation-scan method [Rongzhong Jiang and Shaojun Dong, Electrochim. Acta 35, 1451 (1990)]. These kinetic parameters indicate that the reduction of O2 on VB12(ad)/GC gives water predominantly in both potential ranges which correspond to those two reduction peaks. Possible reaction mechanisms have been suggested.

ELECTROCHEMICAL CATALYSIS AT AN ULTRAMICROELECTRODE MODIFIED WITH REDOX SPECIES

General equations of the electrocatalytic reaction at an ultramicroelectrode modified with redox species have been described according to the Andrieux Saveant model. The electrocatalytic kinetic process has been discussed for the whole set of cases, ie (R), (R + S), (SR) (SR + E), (E), (R + E), (ER), (S), (ER + S) and (S + E) limiting situations. The effect of gamma on the catalytic steady state current shows that the higher the value of gamma, the lower the catalytic current. The kinetic process shifts rapidly from R to E with increasing values of gamma. It is favorable for catalysis only when gamma is very low. Therefore, the redox species modified ultramicroelectrode with thin film is utilized for electrocatalysis, and the larger the radius of ultramicroelectrode, the higher the catalytic efficiency.

Feeding level-scaled retention efficiency, growth and energy partitioning of a marine detritivorous fish, redlip mullet (Liza haematocheila T. & S.)

The effects of feeding level on growth, retention efficiency, faeces production and energy partitioning of redlip mullet were studied. A practical diet was used and fed at six levels from starvation, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% of body weight (BW) to satiation for 3 weeks. The temperature was kept at 24 +/- 1 degrees C. Reducing the feeding amount resulted in significantly lower weight gain, and retention efficiency was significantly affected by feeding levels and attained the maximum at maximum feeding intake. Feeding 2% BW was the minimum required for fish to maintain growth. Fish carcass composition under different feeding levels could be divided into three groups: (1) starvation and FL1; (2) FL2 and FL3 and (3) FL4 and satiation, with significant differences among the groups but no differences in the groups except that ash content remained at constant value. Body composition of fish of group 2 was close to initial fish. The thermal-unit coefficient was 0.0381 at satiation, and significantly increased with increasing feeding levels. In order to accurately estimate basal metabolism (HeE), another trial on the relationship between HeE (kJ) and BW (g) was carried out. An exponential curve as HeE=0.1255BW(0.8386) explained this relationship. Intake energy (IE) increased from 11.30 to 63.08 kJ per fish, matching with different feeding levels. Energy allocated to growth of IE decreased with reducing feeding amount. There was a linear relationship between metabolism energy and retention energy in percentage.

Investigation on the corrosion inhibitive effect of 2H-pyrazole-triazole derivatives in acidic solution

Four research methods, such as weight loss test, electrochemical techniques, adsorption isotherm, and quantum chemical calculation, were employed in this paper to study the inhibition efficiency (IE) and inhibition mechanism of three 2H-pyrazole-triazole derivatives, BHOT, FHOT, and CHOT in 1 M HCl solution for mild steel. Using the electrochemical technique, three inhibitors were proved to show a mixed-type character for mild steel by suppressing both anodic and cathodic reactions on the steel surface. The adsorption models of three compounds were established at different temperatures according to their adsorption isotherms. The results of the quantum chemical calculation method indicated that the adsorption sites of 2H-pyrazole-triazole derivatives were strongly centralized on benzene ring, triazole ring, or other substituents. All the results showed that the three derivatives were excellent inhibitors in I M HCl solution for mild steel.

Nicotinic acid as a nontoxic corrosion inhibitor for hot dipped Zn and Zn-Al alloy coatings on steels in diluted hydrochloric acid

The inhibition effect of nicotinic acid for corrosion of hot dipped Zn and Zn-Al alloy coatings in diluted hydrochloric acid was investigated using quantum chemistry analysis, weight loss test, electrochemical measurement, and scanning electronic microscope (SEM) analysis. Quantum chemistry calculation results showed that nicotinic acid possessed planar structure with a number of active centers, and the populations of the Mulliken charge, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were found mainly focused around oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and the cyclic of the benzene as well. The results of weight loss test and electrochemical measurement indicated that inhibition efficiency (IE%) increased with inhibitor concentration, and the highest inhibition efficiency was up to 96.7%. The corrosion inhibition of these coatings was discussed in terms of blocking the electrode reaction by adsorption of the molecules at the active centers on the electrode surface. It was found that the adsorption of nicotinic acid on coating surface followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm with single molecular layer, and nicotinic acid adsorbed on the coating surface probably by chemisorption. Nicotinic acid, therefore, can act as a good nontoxic corrosion inhibitor for hot dipped Zn and Zn-Al alloy coatings in diluted hydrochloric acid solution. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

The reservoir of Zhongerbei region in Gudao Oilfield is a typical fluvial facies deposit, its serious heterogeneity of the reservoir caused the distribution of remaining oil in mature reservoirs is characterized by highly scattered in the whole field, and result to declination of production, tap potential and stabilize production is more difficult. Reservoir modeling based on lay scale can not fulfill requirement. How to further studied reservoir heterogeneity within the unit and establish the finer reservoir modeling is a valid approach to oil developing. The architectural structure elements analysis is the effectively method to study reservoir heterogeneity. Utilize this method, divide the reservoirs of Gudao Oilfield into ten hierarchies. The priority studying is sixth, seven hierarchies, ie single sand layers sand bodies By the identification of sixth, seven hierarchies, subdivide the reservoir to the single genetic unit. And to subdivide by many correlation means, such as isometry and phase transition, accomplish closure and correlation of 453 wells.Connectting fluvial deposit pattern, deposition characteristic with its log, build the inverting relation between “sedimentary facies” and “electrofacies” The process emphasize genetic communication and collocation structure of genetic body in space.

It boost the accuracy to separation in blanket channel bodies distribution, and provide reference to retrieving single channel boundary. Finally, establish fine plane and section construction. On basis architectural structure map, barrier beds and interbeds isopach map and mini-structure map, considering single thin layers to be construction unit, the main layer planimetric maps have drawn and the inner oil-water boundary have revealed. All account that architectural structure elements control remaining oil distribution in layer, and develop the study on architectural structure elements to direct horizontal well is succesful.

个旧超大型锡多金属矿床地球化学及成因

个旧锡多金属矿床位于云南省东南部，是一个驰名中外的超大型锡多金属矿床。本文在深入细致的野外地质工作基础上，对矿石进行了系统的显微鉴定，并对特征矿物做了电子探针定性、定量及面扫描分析，然后通过微量元素、稀土元素丫同位素地球化学（Pb、S、I－Ie、Ar）对比研究，探讨了矿床的成矿物质来源、成矿流体来源，论证了个旧锡矿区经历了广泛且具有重要成矿意义的中三叠世热水沉积成矿作用和燕山晚期的花岗岩岩浆热液的叠加改造成矿作用。最后重新建立了矿床的成矿模式。论文取得的主要认识如下：1．中三叠世，个旧矿区处于特殊的沉积环境一大陆裂谷系中的局I浪边缘海盆。2．中三叠世安尼期海底喷发的玄武岩，在时间、空间上与区内锡多金属矿床有着密切联系。该玄武岩源于富集成矿元素上地慢区，其地慢源区熔融前经历了交代富集作用。该富集作用对本区超大型锡多金属矿床的形成具有着重要意义。 3．“层间氧化矿”矿体的产状以及矿石类型隐含着同生沉积的信息。 4．矿石显微鉴定结果表明矿区曾发生热水沉积成矿作用，部分接触带矿体是燕山期花岗岩岩浆热液叠加、改造热水沉积矿体形成，在某些层间矿中，尤其是离花岗岩体较近的层间矿，存在后期岩浆热液叠加成矿作用。5．锡在鲡状黄铁矿、胶状结构黄铁矿中的大量存在，表明海底喷流时携带了大量成矿元素，具有成矿的潜力，同时锡石包裹体的存在暗示着海底喷流时可形成锡（SnO，）矿体。6．电气石细脉型锡矿与层间赤褐铁矿型锡矿的矿石及锡石单矿物稀土元素组成与花岗岩稀土对比研究，表明电气石细脉型矿体为花岗岩岩浆期后热液成因，而层间赤褐铁型应为热水沉积成因。层间矿块状硫化物中单矿物的稀土组成分析结果，表明部分层间矿存在热水沉积成矿作用，同时也存在花岗岩岩浆热液成矿作用，这与岩矿鉴定结果一致。层间矿围岩稀土和微量元素结果也表明部分围岩为热水沉积形成。7．矿石铅、硫同位素地球化学特征表明部分铅和硫源于印支期的热水沉积作用，另有部分铅、硫源于燕山期花岗岩岩浆热液作用；氦、氨同位素地球化学资料反映出该矿床早期成矿流体中氦主源于地慢，为热水沉积成因，同时大量放射性成因氦的加入，也表明了有大量后期花岗岩岩浆热液成矿流体的叠加和改造。8．“层间氧化矿”中成分极为单一（赤铁矿、褐铁矿、针铁矿、锡石）的致密土状赤铁矿矿石和部分褐铁矿矿石为热水沉积的直接产物，并非由硫化矿物氧化形成。9．在探讨矿区西区花岗岩的主量元素演化规律的基础上，对东区花岗岩演化规律进行了反演，得出东区花岗岩获得大量的铁，特别是三价铁，表明围岩在花岗岩侵入时就已经存在大量的三价铁，正是在花岗岩的侵入过程中对大量热水沉积的层间氧化矿的改造，导致了花岗岩中三价铁的演化异常。同时根据花岗岩稀土演化规律进行的模拟表明，老厂花岗岩可能“消化”了大量的热水沉积矿化体，其中层间氧化矿占有主要的份额，从而在局部空间形成了强氧化性质的地球化学障。强氧化环境的形成一方面形成老厂花岗岩特别的稀土模式，另一方面加快了含锡热液的分解，促使锡石沉淀并富集成矿。10．重新建立了个旧锡矿的成矿模式：个旧锡矿是长期以来多种地质作用的综合产物，具有多来源，多期次成矿特点，经历了广泛且具有重要的成矿意义的中三叠世热水沉积成矿作用和燕山晚期岩浆热液的叠加改造成矿作用，热水沉积成矿作用形成了以非晶质铁氧化物相为主的层间矿。燕山期大规模的岩浆活动对早期形成的部分层间矿或矿源层进行了叠加改造，个旧锡矿床应属热水沉积一岩浆热液叠加矿床。

Separation of acidic compounds by strong anion-exchange capillary electrochromatography

Separation of the acidic compounds in the ion-exchange capillary electrochromatograph (IE-CEC) with strong anion-exchange packing as the stationary phase was studied. It was observed that the electroosmotic flow (EOF) in strong anion-exchange CEC moderately changed with increase of the eluent ionic strength and decrease of the eluent pH, but the acetonitrile concentration in the eluent had almost no effect on the EOF. The EOF in Strong anion-exchange CEC with eluent of low pH value was much larger than that in RP-CEC with Spherisorb-ODS as the stationary phase. The retention of acidic compounds on the strong anion-exchange packing was relatively weak due to only partial ionization of them, and both chromatographic and electrophoretic processes contributed to separation. It was observed that the retention values of acidic compounds decreased with the increase of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile concentration in the eluent as well as the decrease of the applied voltage, and even the acidic compounds could elute before the void time. These factors also made an important contribution to the separation selectivity for tested acidic compounds, which could be separated rapidly with high column efficiency of more than 220 000 plates/m under the optimized separation conditions.

Separation of peptides by strong cation-exchange capillary electrochromatography

Separation of small peptides on ion-exchange capillary electrochromatography (IE-CEC) with strong cation-exchange packing (SCX) as stationary phase was investigated. It was observed that the number of theoretical plates for small peptides varied from 240 000 to 460 000/m, and the relative standard deviation for t(0) and the migration time of peptides were less than 0.57% and 0.27%, respectively for ten consecutive runs. Unusually high column efficiency has been explained by the capillary electrophoretic stacking and chromatofocusing phenomena during the injection and separation of positively charged peptides. The sample buffer concentration had a marked effect on the column efficiency and peak area of the retained peptides. The influences of the buffer concentration and pH value as well as the applied voltage on the separation were investigated. It has been shown that the electrostatic interaction between the positively charged peptides and the SCX stationary phase played a very important role in IE-CEC, which provided the different separation selectivity from those in the capillary electrophoresis and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. A fast separation of ten peptides in less than 3.5 min on IE-CEC by adoption of the highly applied voltage was demonstrated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
