Vapor-phase chromatography in glass-capillary column of high polar and involatile hydrocarbon-containing ether derivatives of disulpho-benzoic acid

The paper deals with the results of capillary columns implementation in vapor-phase chromatography. Glass and narrow-bore columns covered with liquid stationary phase and polyphenyl ether were used, the mixtures of aliphatic alcohols, acids, amines and ether derivatives of disulpho-benzoic acid, which are semi-products of additive synthesis analyzed. The usage of water vapor as a moving carrier of nitrogen enabled to decrease the analysis time and improve division efficiency. The retention time, height values of equivalent theoretic plates and coefficient of analyzed components asymmetry were calculated. Obtained results justify the practicability of glass capillary application for the analysis of disulpho-benzoic acid derivatives via vapor-phase chromatography method.

Preparation and Characterization of sPDVB/SPPO Composite Proton Exchange Membrane for Fuel Cell

In this study, a series of composite proton exchange membranes are prepared from sulfonated polydivinyl benzene (sPDVB) microspheres and sulfonated polyphenyl ether (SPPO). The PDVB microsphers and PPO are functionalized by direct sulfonation. The synthesis products are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique (FT-IR), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM). The incorporation of sPDVB decreases the water uptake and proton exchange capacity, so the proton conductivity is lower than that of blank SPPO membrane. But the composite membranes still have the excellent conductivity range from 4.88×10-2 to 6.99×10-2 Scm-1.
