First Report

The first report on the synthesis of lactitol dates back to the early 1920s. Nearly 100 years have passed since then, and the applications of lactitol have exceeded its original purpose. Currently, lactitol is used in bakery, confectionery, chocolate, desserts, chewing gum, cryoprotectant, delivery agent, and stabilizer in biosensors. Lactitol is the main reaction product derived from the hydrogenation of lactose. This chapter is aimed at providing a succinct overview of the historical development of lactitol, a summary of its synthesis, and an overview of its properties and applications.

AbstractPastes prepared from diammonium orthophosphate and calcined magnesia, MgO, exhibit a fast setting and hardening associated with NH3 liberation. Struvite, MgNH4PO4.6H2O, was found to be the main reaction product. Pastes made with NaH2PO4 or Na-polyphosphate exhibit a similar hardening reaction. The hardening reaction may be retarded and the ultimate strength moderately increased by adding appropriate retarders, such as Na2B4O7 10H2O to the system. The quality of the used MgO and its fineness has a significant effect on the rate of the hardening reaction.

3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl chloride was found to undergo solvolysis in acetic acid to form 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranose as the main reaction product. The much less reactive anomeric α-chloride also appeared to undergo solvolysis with extensive inversion of the anomeric center. It is submitted that the tendencies for inversion obtained in these ionic reactions are due to the conformations imposed on the intermediate ions through distribution of the positive charge to the ring oxygen and the consequent introduction of double-bond character to the carbon-1 to ring-oxygen bond.

A feasibility study was performed to utilize struvite, in combination with magnesium oxide (MgO), to develop magnesium phosphate cement. The struvite was a wastewater by-product from a sewage treatment plant in British Columbia, Canada. To achieve MgO-phosphate reactivity in water, two types of recycled struvite were used: heated struvite and newberyite (i.e. rehydrated struvite). A more common phosphate source, Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) was also adopted and replaced in different proportions by recycled struvite. Perlite was incorporated to produce lightweight composites for building applications at different strength-density ratios. Microstructural/chemical analyses were complemented with compressive strength tests at different ages. Reactivity with MgO was achieved for both heated struvite and newberyite. The main reaction product was cattite but reactivity of less soluble newberyite was lower. KDP had the fastest reaction leading to the formation of K-struvite. The lightweight composites achieved up to 90% of their strength in 7 days.

Effects Of Ph

The pollution of water by nitrates represents an important environmental and health issue. The development of sustainable technologies that are able to efficiently remove this contaminant is a key challenge in the field of wastewater treatment. Chemical denitrification by means of zero-valent metallic elements is an interesting method to reduce the oxidized forms of nitrogen. Compared to other metallic reactants, zero-valent magnesium (ZVM) has many profitable aspects, but its use for nitrate removal has scarcely been investigated. In the present work, several batch tests were conducted to examine the concurrent effects of pH, initial nitrate concentration and Mg0 quantity on process performance. The experimental results proved that at pH 3, for a given initial nitrate concentration, the dose of ZVM largely influences process efficiency. In particular, with a ratio between Mg0 and initial N-NO3− amount (Mg/NNi) of 0.33 g/mg, it is possible to obtain complete denitrification within 30 min. Beyond this ratio, no further improvement of treatment was observed. The experiments allowed us to identify the nitrogen forms produced during the treatment. Nitrogen gas was generally the main reaction product, but the trends of the different compounds (NO3−, NO2−, NH4+ and N2) notably changed in response to the modification of operating parameters. Moreover, the results demonstrated that, in a highly acidic environment, when treating solutions with a low nitrate concentration, process performances are unsatisfactory even when using a high Mg/NNi ratio. By increasing the process pH to 5 and 7, a significant denitrification decline occurred. Furthermore, at these pH levels, the enhancement of nitrate concentration caused a progressive process deterioration. Through detailed analysis of experimental results, reactions kinetics and new mathematical equations, able to describe the trends of different nitrogen forms, have been defined. Moreover, reactions pathways have been proposed. Finally, the characterization of exhausted material allowed us to identify the corrosion products formed during the treatment.

The removal of nitrate from aqueous environments through zero-valent metallic elements is an attractive technique that has gained increasing interest in recent years. In comparison to other metallic elements, zero-valent magnesium (ZVM) has numerous beneficial aspects. Nevertheless, the use of Mg0 particles for nitrate reduction in column systems has not been investigated yet. To overcome the lack of research, in the present study, a wide experimental activity was carried out to develop a chemical denitrification process through ZVM in batch column equipment. Several tests were executed to evaluate the effects of recirculation hydraulic velocity, pH, Mg0 amount, N-NO3− initial concentration and temperature on the process performance. The results show that the process efficiency is positively influenced by the recirculation velocity increase. In particular, the optimal condition was detected with a value of 1 m/min. The process pH was identified as the main operating parameter. At pH 3, abatements higher than 86.6% were reached for every initial nitrate concentration tested. In these conditions, nitrogen gas was detected as the main reaction product. The pH increase up to values of 5 and 7 caused a drastic denitrification decline with observed efficiencies below 26%. At pH 3, the ratio (RMN) between Mg0 and initial nitrate amount also plays a key role in the treatment performance. A characteristic value of about RMN = 0.333 gMg0/mgN-NO3− was found with which it is possible to reach the maximum reaction rate. Unexpectedly, the process was negatively affected by the increase in temperature from 20 to 40 °C. At 20 °C, the material showed satisfactory denitrification efficiencies in subsequent reuse cycles. With the optimal RMN ratio, removals up to 90% were detected by reusing the reactive material three times. By means of a kinetic analysis, a mathematical law able to describe the nitrate abatement curves was defined. Moreover, the relation between the observed kinetic constant and the operating parameters was recognized. Finally, the reaction pathways were proposed and the corrosion reaction products formed during the treatment were identified.

Kovar Alloy

High purity alumina ceramic and Kovar alloy were brazed by Nickel and Titanium foils stacked as Ni/Ti/Ni layer structure. Airtight joints were achieved with shear strength more than 30MPa, after brazing at 995oC for 30min. A sandwich structure was observed in solder, which means an a-Ti solid solution belt at mid part and Ti2Ni intermetallics belts at both sides. The main reaction product at alumina/solder interface was Ni2Ti4O, a complex oxide with structure similar to Ti2Ni, which is the bonding agent and transition from the solder’s metallic crystal lattice to alumina crystal lattice. To simulate the actual serving conditions, a thermal cyclic experiment was undertaken at the 200oC-600oC temperature range. The results showed that shear strength of joint increased dramatically after thermal cycles. This interesting phenomenon is attributed to the annealing effects of thermal cycles, which released residual stress in brazed joints remarkably.

AbstractThe interfacial chemical behavior of two candidate coating systems for use on fine diameter (∼10 μm) Al2O3 in TiAl is presented. The performance of the Nb/Y2O3 system appears to be related to the transport rate of Ti through the Y2O3 layer. Interfacial reaction is then observed at points where the Y2O3 thickness is less than about 1 μm. The main reaction product formed appears to be an oxygen saturated TiAl phase. An alternative system, C/TiN/Y2O3 is then presented as a solution to the Ti transport problem and may offer more desirable interfacial mechanical properties.

Thermally induced solid-state reactions between a 70 nm Pt film and a single-crystal (001) β-SiC substrate at temperatures from 300 °C to 1000 °C for various time durations are investigated by 2 MeV He backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, secondary ion mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Backscattering spectrometry shows that Pt reacts with SiC at 500 °C. The product phase identified by x-ray diffraction is Pt3Si. At 600–900 °C, the main reaction product is Pt2Si, but the depth distribution of the Pt atoms changes with annealing temperature. When the sample is annealed at 1000 °C, the surface morphology deteriorates with the formation of some dendrite-like hillocks; both Pt2Si and PtSi are detected by x-ray diffraction. Samples annealed at 500–900 °C have a double-layer structure with a silicide surface layer and a carbon-silicide mixed layer below in contact with the substrate. The SiC—Pt interaction is resolved at an atomic scale with high-resolution electron microscopy. It is found that the grains of the sputtered Pt film first align themselves preferentially along an orientation of {111}Pt//{001}SiC without reaction between Pt and SiC. A thin amorphous interlayer then forms at 400 °C. At 450 °C, a new crystalline phase nucleates discretely at the Pt-interlayer interface and projects into or across the amorphous interlayer toward the SiC, while the undisturbed amorphous interlayer between the newly formed crystallites maintains its thickness. These nuclei grow extensively down into the substrate region at 500 °C, and the rest of the Pt film is converted to Pt3Si. Comparison between the thermal reaction of SiC-Pt and that of Si–Pt is discussed.
