Characterization of Wood Surface Elemental Compositions after Thermo-vacuum Treatment and Superheated-steam Heat Treatment

ABSTRACTSolid sol of silver in poly(methyl methacrylate), Ag/PMMA, was prepared by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate solution of silver (I) triflluoroacetate (AgTfa) and followed by postheating. The formation of the metallic Ag nanocluster was characterized by visible spectroscopy, and effects of the concentrations of AIBN and AgTfa and the heat-treatment duration on the formation of Ag cluster were investigated. Furthermore, based on the kinetic study of MMA in the presence of AgTfa, possible mechanism for the reduction and agglomeration of silver is proposed.

Cell Nuclear Extract

Mild heat treatment of HeLa cell nuclear extracts (NE) selectively inhibits pre-mRNA splicing. Heat-inactivated extracts can be complemented by a small amount of untreated NE. Utilizing this complementation assay and a combination of ion-exchange, affinity, and hydrophobic chromatography, a heat reversal factor (HRF) was purified from NE that is required to rescue pre-mRNA splicing from a heat-inactivated extract. This activity in its most purified form consistently copurified in a fraction containing two 70-kDa proteins and a minor polypeptide of approximately 100 kDa. It was free of the major small nuclear RNAs, sensitive to protease, and required to rescue spliceosome formation from a heat-inactivated nuclear extract. These results suggest that this factor is a protein that may be an important component in pre-mRNA splicing, or alternatively, it may be involved in renaturation of a heat-sensitive splicing factor.

Melt Spinning Technique

Manganese bismuth alloy has gained importance due to its rare earth free elements, positive temperature coefficient and unique magnetic properties. Low temperature phase (LTP) MnBi was successfully prepared by arc melting with subsequent heat treatments and melt spinning technique followed by heat treatment for different durations. LTP MnBi formation was confirmed using XRD analysis and microstructural characterization of the samples was done using field emission scanning electron microscope. MnBi with greater LTP amount was formed by melt spinning route when compared with its counter arc melted one. Magnetic energy density of LTP MnBi formed by melt spinning technique with different heat treatment time was studied.

In this study, an Al-containing alloy 214 was evaluated in superheated steam at 800 °C for a duration of 600 h. The purpose of using superheated steam was to simulate the supercritical water (SCW) condition at higher temperatures where no commercial SCW rig is currently capable of reaching (800 °C and beyond). After exposure to superheated steam, the weight change and surface oxidation were analyzed. Alloy 214 experienced greater weight gain than IN 625 and Ni20Cr5Al, due to its low Cr content. Formation of both Cr2O3 and Al2O3 was observed on the surface after 300 and 600 h of exposure. However, as exposure progressed, more Ni and Mn-containing spinel started to form, signaling Cr and Al depletion on the metal substrate surface.
