A study was carried out of the uptake of Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Ca2+ cations by hydrous titanium oxides prepared at different pH values using titanous chloride as the starting material and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent. Characterization of the oxides was carried out by nitrogen adsorption and infrared studies. The oxides were found to be amphoteric in nature and exhibited an isoelectric point of 6.6. An attempt was made to elucidate the mechanism of cation uptake which does not entail a simple ion-exchange mechanism.

A series of zirconia gels has been prepared at different pH values by the addition of aqueous ammonia to aqueous solutions of zirconyl chloride. The gels were air dried at 110°C and their surface characteristics and structure studied with the aid of infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and simultaneous DTA, TGA and DTG methods. Infrared studies suggest the formation of compounds of the type ZrO2 · xH2O · yNH3. Preparation pH values of 8.02 and 10.01 produced high area gels with considerable pore volumes, whereas pH values of 4.50 and 7.01 led to unpredictable areas with ill-defined textures reflecting the metastability of the systems. Differential thermal analysis curves revealed two distinctive endotherms allowing the separate identification of interstitial and cordinatively bound water. As the pH of precipitation increased, the amount of coordinated water decreased.

The porous structures of synthetic active carbons have been examined in detail on the basis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K using the αS method, the Dubinin–Stoeckli approach and the regularization technique. Analysis of the porosity of synthetic active carbons shows that carbons obtained under identical conditions have dissimilar adsorption properties depending on the size of the granule. The application of the Dubinin–Stoeckli equation for the characterization of strongly heterogeneous carbons overestimates the maximum amount adsorbed in the micropores. In contrast to the Dubinin–Stoeckli equation, the regularization method gives a two-peak micropore size distribution and enables adsorbents with a bimodal porous structure to be estimated.

An α-amylase from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris has been purified about 100-fold. Its optimum pH was between 5.9 and 7.0, and the maximum rate was achieved at 60 °C. In the absence of substrate, the enzymes were more stable at pH 5.9 than at higher or lower pH values; inactivation was rapid at pH 7.0. Temperatures of 70 °C or greater also caused rapid denaturation of the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Three major peaks of amylase activity were detected when purified enzyme preparations were passed through Sephadex G-75 columns. At least two of these amylases were interconvertible. Four or five T. vulgaris proteinases also were separated, using ion exchange column chromatography.

HZSM–5 yang mengandungi galium adalah mangkin yang lebih baik daripada mangkin zeolit HZSM–5 bagi menghasilkan cecair hidrokarbon. Kata kunci: Ga-HZSM-5; metana; pertukaran ion berasid; cecair hidrokarbon The HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst was modified by an acidic ion exchange method to produce the Ga–HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst. The catalytic activity of HZSM–5 and Ga–HZSM–5 were studied at reaction temperature of 800°C and gas hourly space velocities (GHSV) of 7500 hr–1. HZSM–5 and Ga–HZSM–5 catalysts were characterized by XRD, NMR, Nitrogen Adsorption and TPD. The characterization results revealed that aluminium was removed from the parent framework. Gallium loaded HZSM–5 is a better catalyst than HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst to produce liquid hydrocarbons. Key words: Ga-HZSM-5; methane; acidic ion exchange; liquid hydrocarbons

Abstract The behaviour of α-benzyl-α-bromo-malononitrile (BBMD) as oxidizing agent was characterized. The dependence of the electrochemical reduction potentials of BBMD on the pH-values of the solutions was examined. BBMD is reduced in a two-electron wave with half-wave potentials between + 230 and + 312 mV vs. Ag/AgCl/Cl-. BBMD is able to oxidize different organic compounds with OH-, SH-, NH- and CH- groups as well as a series of biological reducing agents as ubihydroquinone, plastohydroquinone, dihydro-lipoic acid, FADH2, NADPH and NADH. In all these cases BBMD is reduced to benzylmalononitrile. Kinetic investigations of this reduction process using NADH as reducing agent and also NMR-investigations using deuterated NADH-models showed that BBMD is directly reduced to benzylmalononitrile without producing benzylidenemalononitrile as intermediate. The reduction of BBMD with reduced pyridine nucleotides as well as that of benzylidene­ malononitrile were accelerated by an enzyme which was concentrated from human erythrocytes, using 2-chloro-benzylidenemalononitrile (CS) as substrate.
