4KG-M制冷机做冷源的自循环氦液化装置研制；Development of helium liquefaction self-circulation system with 4 K G-M cryocoolers

采用5台1.5W/4.2KG-M制冷机(日本住友RDK415D)并联研制出了1台方便实验室使用的小型氦液化装置,并为其建立了性能测量实验台。实验结果表明:液氦温度为4.17K(饱和压力为96kPa)时,氦液化率为74L/d;液氦温度为4.42K(饱和压力为121kPa)时,液化率为116L/d,经拟合,在4.2K(饱和压力为100kPa)时液化率为83L/d,并且通过100小时以上的连续运行,说明该氦液化装置自循环性能良好。通过实验发现:实测氦液化率远大于制冷机冷头制冷量对应的计算氦液化率。分析认为:G-M制冷机气缸壁对氦气预冷是提高实际氦液化率的主要因素。

Selective formation of aromatic amines by selenium-catalyzed reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with CO/H2O under atmospheric pressure

An efficient method for the catalytic reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding aromatic amines is reported. In the presence of selenium as a catalyst, the aromatic nitro compounds are quantitively reduced by CO/H2O to form the corresponding amines under atmospheric pressure. The reduction occurs in high selectivity regardless of other reducible functionalities present on the aromatic ring. There exists a phase transfer process of the catalyst selenium in the reaction.

Direct characterization of bitter acids in a crude hop extract by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry

The applicability of on-line coupling of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry for the separation and characterization of hop acids mixture from the crude extract of Humulus lupulus was investigated. The solvent system consisting of acetonitrile-aqueous formic acid was used to give proper separation of the six main hop bitter acids within 30 min. Further structural information about the components was acquired by collision-induced dissociation (CID). On the basis of analyses of the fragmentation patterns of the major alpha- and beta-bitter acids respectively, identification of the minor ones was performed using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) with a group of qualitatively relevant selected precursor-product ion transitions for each bitter acid in a single high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) run. Using this technique, six minor hop acids, including "adprelupulone" observed for the first time in natural resources, were detected along with the six major acids. This hyphenated techniques provides potency for rapid qualitative determination of analogs and homologs in mixtures. (C) 2004 American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
