In the chemical industry, for example, in the production of sulfuric acid and the movement of sulfur recovered in refineries, the temperature of liquid substances can vary widely. The study of the effect of aggressive liquid temperature and concentration on the productivity and energy efficiency of vacuum systems for transporting liquids has been carried out. The performance (dry air pumping rate) and the consumed power of the vacuum pump ZhVN-12N depending on the pressure in the working chamber are considered. The correction coefficients of productivity for pumping out humid air have been determined for different temperatures. The performance indicators of a vacuum system for transporting liquids based on ZhVN-12N have been investigated. It was found that an increase in the temperature of the pumped humid air increases the average productivity of the vacuum system for transporting liquids, reducing its energy consumption. It is shown that an increase in the sulfuric acid solution concentration results in a decrease in productivity and an increase in the energy consumption of the vacuum system, while the efficiency decreases slightly.

According to the vacuum bursting process for fresh chestnut shell and requirements for relevant vacuum system, a vacuum system of steam jet pump was designed with a start-up jet pump attached to it. Of which the waste gas from ejector was used for reheating in the bursting process to lead the vacuum bursting unit to run more reliably and stably with efficiency improved and energy consumption reduced. The rate of bursting came up to 95% in the process test.

Efficient germination of fescue seeds is essential for successful establishment of meadows and pastures. This research was conducted to ascertain the effects of various acid and temperature treatments on seed germination in three fescue species: Festuca rubra, F. ovina, and F. pratensis. Seeds from different cultivars, populations, or lots were exposed either to four concentrations of sulfuric acid at three different time intervals (12 treatments) or six different temperatures at three different time intervals (18 treatments). Despite all belonging to the genus Festuca, the seed from different species responded differently to the treatments. The three optimum treatments for F. rubra seed involved soaking in a 75% solution of sulfuric acid for 20 minutes (improved the germination rate by 19%), soaking in a 50% solution of sulfuric acid for 30 minutes (improved the germination rate by 18%) and exposure to either 60°C or 70°C for 90 minutes (improved the germination rate by 17%). For F. ovina seed, optimal treatments included soaking seeds for either 10 or 20 minutes in a 50% sulfuric acid solution (both treatments improved germination rates by 13%) or exposing seeds for 30 minutes in a 25% sulfuric acid solution and 80°C for 60 minutes (improved germination rate by 12%). Two optimal treatments were identified for F. pratensis seed. Whereas the first involved soaking the seeds in a 75% sulfuric acid solution for 30 minutes (improved germination rates by 22%), the second involved either exposing the seeds to 90°C for 90 or 60 minutes, or exposing the seeds to 80°C for 90 minutes (improved germination rate by 21%). Our findings indicate that if fescue seed is to be sown during the autumn (two to three months after seed collecting), treating it with acid and temperature can significantly enhance its germination.

In aqueous sulfuric acid, aliphatic N-nitro amines decompose to N2O and alcohols. An excess acidity analysis of the observed rate constants for the reaction shows that free carbocations are not formed. The reaction is an acid-catalyzed SN2 displacement from the protonated aci-nitro tautomer, the nucleophile being a water molecule at acidities below 82–85% H2SO4, and a bisulfate ion at higher acidities. Bisulfate is the poorer nucleophile by a factor of about 1000. Twelve compounds were studied, of which results obtained for nine at several different temperatures enabled calculation of activation parameters for both nucleophiles. The reaction appears to be mainly enthalpy controlled. The intercept standard-state rate constants are well correlated by the σ* values for the alkyl groups; the slopes are negative, with a more negative value for the slower bisulfate reaction. Interestingly the m≠m* slopes also correlate with σ*, although the scatter is bad. Key words: N-nitro amines, excess acidity, bisulfate, nucleophiles, acid-catalyzed, kinetics.

The paper presents a method to increase the energy flexibility of production systems, establishing a tool to increase the energy flexibility by using the scenario technique. First of all barriers and possible modifications to influence the energy consumption have to be identified. Afterwards, measures can be designed order to address these obstacles. Impacts of the energy conduct on the material flow and production performance indicators will be investigated. These results are necessary for investment decisions for future production plants.

ABSTRACTUnsupported different atomic ratios of platinum-ruthenium bulk alloys were prepared. The alloys were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These alloys were also tested as anodes for methanol electro-oxidation in sulfuric acid over a range of temperatures. Ruthenium is inactive for methanol electro-oxidation at 25 °C, but becomes active at higher temperatures. When a comparison is made on the basis of “true” (hydrogen adsorption) surface area, a 30 atomic percent Ru electrocatalyst provides the highest activity for methanol electro-oxidation as measured at either 0.4 or 0.5V vs. RHE at both 25 and 60 °C.

In this paper we present two types of currently used vacuum systems on the HPDC and the preparation phase of an experimental tool. To investigate the properties of HPD castings we have designed a die geometry that complies with requirements of vacuum and non-vacuum systems. We used computer simulation to shape up the runner-and overflow-system. In the course of our work we examined specimens with differing thickness and alloys with different compositions to check the changes of mechanical properties and the effect of vacuum system.

The flow of aerosol in vacuum conditions representative of many semiconductor processes (100 sccm, 1 Torr). was investigated. The study was performed using aerosols with highly nonuniform spatial distributions. An ideally nonuniform aerosol was produced by generating an aerosol beam using an aerodynamic lens. The flow containing the aerosol beam was drawn through vacuum system components. The size of the beam was measured upstream and downstream of these components by collecting the aerosol on a filter and observing the deposition pattern. Very little mixing phenomenon was observed. These results point to a potential limitation in the methods employed by the semiconductor industry for in-situ particle monitoring in vacuum systems. A simple solution to this flaw is suggested.

AbstractThe major sources of impurities in sputtered Al alloy films for interconnects, prepared by physical vapor deposition include those originating from the target material, residual gases present in the vacuum system, and those introduced through the gas delivery system. In this study, we report the effect of impurities incorporated from residual gases present in vacuum systems on the electromigration performance of 0.6 μm wide Al-l%Cu lines. Controlled leaks of isotope gases H2O18, N215, O218, and C13H4, in 10−6 10−9 Torr range, were introduced into a PVD tool during the sputtering process. Using these isotope gases, the impurities originating from residual gases were distinguished from those originating from other sources of impurities. The sputtering target was found to be the major source of H and O impurities in the film, whereas N atoms are introduced in the film mainly through the gas phase. Furthermore, N atoms in the film were found to affect its electromigration behaviour to a larger extent than O and H.

To get information on extremely small organic deposits in ultra high vacuum systems the sensitivity of most of the conventional methods for thickness measurements is not high enough. On the other hand the radioactive tracer method has shown its high sensitivity and wide versatility in many fields. Tritium with a half life of 12.3 γ and a mean β-energy of 5.4 keV was choosen as tracer isotope. A method is described for Tritium-labelling diffusion pump oils with specific activities up to 100 mC/g. Using the liquid scintillation counting technique one can detect deposits down to below 1010 molecules/cm2. First results with this Tritium labelled pump fluid are given under different operating conditions in an all metal ultra high vacuum system.
