scholarly journals The properties of colloidal systems.—II. On adsorption as preliminary to chemical reaction

When a reaction takes place in a heterogeneous system certain preliminary processes occur, so that the velocity of the reaction as measured is naturally that of the slowest of all the stages, including the chemical reaction proper. In the first place, since the reacting bodies are not uniformly distributed, one of them is compelled to travel a certain distance in order that contact with the other one may take place, e. g . in the case of a sheet of zinc immersed in dilute hydrochloric acid, it is necessary that the ions taking part in the reaction diffuse from the distant parts of the liquid phase in order to reach the surface of the solid phase. Hence, diffusion is the first stage of the reaction as a whole.

Solanidine (C17H43O/V) is a steroidal aglycone of glycoalkaloids and an important precursor for the synthesis of hormones and some pharmacologically active compounds. Glycoalkaloids are hydrolysed by mineral acid yielding solanidine and a carbohydrate moiety. In this paper the kinetics of hydrolysis of glycoalkaloids from potato (Solanum tuberosum L) tuber sprouts by using solid-liquid systems were studied as well as solanidine isolation from the liquid phase of the system. The dried and milled tuber sprouts of potato were used as the solid phase and solutions of hydrochloric acid of different concentration in 96 % vol. ethanol, mixed with chloroform in a volume ratio of 2:3, 1:1, 3:2 and 4:1, were used as the liquid phase. The aim of the paper was to choose the optimal concentration of hydrochloric acid in ethanol, the volume ratio of hydrochloric acid in ethanol to chloroform in the liquid phase and the time for solanidine hydrolytic extraction, as well as to isolate solanidine from the liquid phase.

The introduction into the blood stream of dilute hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate in quantities not too great to be compatible with life results in marked alterations in the color of certain of the matrix tissues stainable in vivo with phthalein indicators. Connective tissue in its various forms, and tendon and cartilage all become relatively more acid or alkaline than the normal. The hue of the kidney cortex also changes, as might be expected from its functions. The pancreas and lymph nodes, on the other hand, appear unaffected even when the injection is pushed to the extreme; and the slight to negligible alterations in the hue of the liver may be due to changes in the color of the associated secretion. The matrix tissues just mentioned behave as if unable to maintain a reaction of their own; whereas the elements of the parenchymal organs would seem to make their own conditions even when so much acid or alkali has been injected as will lead to death of the animal. Injections of lactic acid are well tolerated and it is difficult to bring about alterations in the color of the phthalein-stained matrix tissues by means of them. Salt solution, and sugar in large amount cause no changes in color such as would indicate changes in reaction. The results with the various phthalein indicators are in close accord, attesting that the information these give under vital conditions is reliable.

METODE PENGENDAPAN DAN PENUKAR KATION PADA PROSES PEMISAHAN CESIUM DALAM BAHAN BAKAR U3Si2-Al. Isotop 137Cs salah satu hasil fisi yang dapat digunakan sebagai monitor burn up untuk mempelajari kinerja bahan bakar selama iradiasi dalam reaktor. Untuk menganalisis isotop 137Cs dalam pelat elemen bakar (PEB) U3Si2-Al pasca iradiasi diperlukan metode yang valid agar diperoleh data yang akurat. Beberapa metode dapat digunakan untuk pemisahan 137Cs dalam PEB U3Si2-Al, antara lain adalah metode pengendapan dalam bentuk garam CsClO4 sesuai dengan ASTM E 320-79 dan metode penukar kation menggunakan zeolit Lampung. Proses pengendapan dilakukan dengan menggunakan serbuk CsNO3 sebagai senyawa pembawa (carier) dan pereaksi HClO4, sedangkan proses penukar kation dilakukan dengan penambahan zeolit Lampung. Tujuan penelitian adalah mendapatkan metode valid untuk pemisahan 137Cs dalam PEB U3Si2-Al pasca iradiasi, khususnya aspek pengaruh berat serbuk CsNO3 dan berat zeolit Lampung yang ditambahkan. Proses pengendapan isotop 137Cs dilakukan dengan memipet larutan PEB U3Si2-Al sebanyak 150 µL kemudian ditambahkan serbuk CsNO3 dengan variasi berat 500; 625; 700 ; dan 1000 mg serta 4 mL HClO4 dalam pengangas es selama 1 jam. Hasil proses pengendapan diperoleh endapan 137CsClO4yang terpisah dengan supernatan sebagai fasa cair.Sementara itu, proses penukar kation dilakukan dengan menambahkan zeolit Lampung variasi berat 700; 900; 1000 ; dan 1200 mg dengan pengadukan selama 1 jam. Hasil proses penukar kation diperoleh padatan 137Cs-zeolit dalam fasa padat dan isotop lainnya dalam fasa cair. Endapan 137CsClO4 dan padatan137Cs-zeolit serta supernatan diukur kandungan 137Cs menggunakan spektrometer-g. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa berat CsNO3 yang paling banyak mengikat 137Cs terjadi pada penambahan CsNO3 seberat 700 mg yaitu sebesar 0,0472 µg, sedangkan penambahan zeolit Lampung yang optimal diperoleh pada berat 1000 mg hingga 1200 mg dengan kandungan isotop 137Cs dalam padatan 137Cs-zeolit diperoleh sebesar 0,0557 µg. Pemisahan isotop 137Cs menggunakan metode penukar kation dengan penambahan zeolit Lampung 1000 mg hingga 1200 mg mempunyai hasil lebih baik bila dibandingkan dengan metode pengendapan. Selain itu, pengerjaan dengan metode penukar kation lebih mudah serta lebih aman bila dibandingkan dengan metode pengendapan yang pengerjaannya harus dalam penggangas es (-4 ºC), menggunakan bahan kimia HClO4 dengan aceton dan etanol yang bersifat volatil dan eksotermik.Kata kunci: isotop 137Cs, zeolit, serbuk CsNO3, metode penukar kation dan pengendapan. PRECIPITATION METHOD AND KATION EXCHANGE METHOD FOR CESIUM SEPARATION OF U3Si2-Al FUEL ELEMENT. 137Cs isotope was one of the fission products which could be used as a burn up monitor to study the performance of the fuel during irradiation in a reactor. For analyzed 137Cs isotope in post-irradiation U3Si2-Al fuel element plate (PEB), it was needed a valid method to obtain accurate data. Several methods could be used for 137Cs separation from U3Si2-Al PEB solution were precipitation method in CsClO4 salt form according to ASTM E 320-79 and cation exchange method using Lampung zeolite. The precipitation process was done using CsNO3 powder as a carrier substance and HClO4 reagent, while the cation exchange process was done by the addition of Lampung zeolite. The objective research was getting a valid method for 137Cs separation in post-irradiation U3Si2-Al PEB, especially for the aspects of CsNO3 powder weight influence and weight of zeolite Lampung was added. 137Cs isotope precipitation process was done by pipetting 150 mL U3Si2-Al PEB solution which was added to the 500; 625; 700; and 1000 mg weight variation CsNO3 powder and 4 mL HClO4 in ice media for 1 hour. The precipitation process results was obtained CsClO4 precipitate separated from the supernatant as a liquid phase. Mean while, the cation exchange process was done by adding 700; 900; 1000 and 1200 mg weight variation Lampung zeolite by shaking for 1 hour. The cation exchange process results was obtained 137Cs-zeolite in the solid phase and the other isotopes in the liquid phase. The137Cs content in 137CsClO4 precipitate,137Cs-zeolite solid phase and supernatant was measured using spectrometre-g. The analysis showed that the optimum weight of CsNO3 addition when most binding of 137Cs occurred was 700 mg equal to 0.0472 g 137Cs isotope, while the optimum weight addition of Lampung zeolite was 1000 mg until 1200 mg equal to 137Cs isotope content in137Cs-zeolite obtained was 0.0557 g. The 137Cs isotope separation process using both methods could be concluded that the cation exchange method using zeolite by the addition of 1000 mg Lampung zeolite until 1200 mg had better result than the precipitation method. The other advantages of this method were easier and saver than precipitation methods that the process should be in ice batch (-4oC), using chemicals HClO4, acetone and ethanol which had volatile and exothermic character.Keywords: 137Cs isotope, zeolite, CsNO3 powder, cation exchange and precipitation method.

This work investigated the sintering behavior of alumina doped with 4wt% niobia. Three sintering temperatures were investigated: 1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C. The first temperature leads to solid-phase assisted sintering (SSS) while the other ones develop liquid-phase assisted sintering (LPS). The presence of liquid phase in the second case is due to an eutectic reaction occurring at 1440°C ± 20°C in the alumina-niobia system. The sintering behavior was assessed by measuring the final densities. The results indicated that the 1400°C solid-state sintering, comparatively, was better. This paper proposes that defects associated to the substitution of Al+3by Nb+5in the alumina cation sub-lattice, fostered diffusion and SSS. Sintering at 1500°C presented the lowest density, apparently due to niobate (liquid phase) loss, at this temperature as observed by XRD results.

There is a variety of methods available for the rapid detection and identification of viruses by electron microscopy as described in several reviews. The predominant techniques are classified as direct electron microscopy (DEM), immune electron microscopy (IEM), liquid phase immune electron microscopy (LPIEM) and solid phase immune electron microscopy (SPIEM). Each technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses. However, in recent years, the most progress for identifying viruses has been realized by the utilization of SPIEM.

In this paper, the plasma discharge in a high-pressure fluid stream in order to produce gaseous hydrogen was studied. Methods and equipment have been developed for the excitation of a plasma discharge in a stream of liquid medium. The fluid flow under excessive pressure is directed to a hydrodynamic emitter located at the reactor inlet where a supersonic two-phase vapor-liquid flow under reduced pressure is formed in the liquid due to the pressure drop and decrease in the flow enthalpy. Electrodes are located in the reactor where an electric field is created using an external power source (the strength of the field exceeds the breakdown threshold of this two-phase medium) leading to theinitiation of a low-temperature glow quasi-stationary plasma discharge.A theoretical estimation of the parameters of this type of discharge has been carried out. It is shown that the lowtemperature plasma initiated under the flow conditions of a liquid-phase medium in the discharge gap between the electrodes can effectively decompose the hydrogen-containing molecules of organic compounds in a liquid with the formation of gaseous products where the content of hydrogen is more than 90%. In the process simulation, theoretical calculations of the voltage and discharge current were also made which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The reaction unit used in the experiments was of a volume of 50 ml and reaction capacity appeared to be about 1.5 liters of hydrogen per minute when using a mixture of oxygen-containing organic compounds as a raw material. During their decomposition in plasma, solid-phase products are also formed in insignificant amounts: carbon nanoparticles and oxide nanoparticles of discharge electrode materials.
