Abstract A polyvinylchloride membrane sensor based on N,N,-bis(salecylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine (salophen) as membrane carrier was prepared and investigated as a Al3+ -selective electrode. The sensor exhibits a Nernstian response toward Al(III) over a wide concentration range (8.0×10,7,3.0×10,2,M), with a detection limit of 6.0×10,7,M. The potentiometric response of the sensor is independent of the pH of the test solution in the pH range 3.2,4.5. The electrode possesses advantages of very fast response and high selectivity for Al3+ in comparison with alkali, alkaline earth and some heavy metal ions. The sensor was used as an indicator electrode, in the potentiometric titration of aluminum ion and in determination of Al3+ contents in drug, water and waste water samples. [source]


Lewis acid,base property of P(VDF- co -HFP) measured by inverse gas chromatography

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) P(VDF- co -HFP) is an excellent material for polymer electrolytes of lithium ion battery. To enhance the lithium ion transference number, some metal oxides were often embedded into P(VDF- co -HFP). The promising mechanism for the increase in lithium ionic conductivity was Lewis acid-base theory. In this experiment, the Lewis acid,base properties of P(VDF- co -HFP) were measured by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The Lewis acid constant Ka of P(VDF- co -HFP) is 0.254, and the base constant Kb is 1.199. Compared with other polymers characterized by IGC, P(VDF- co -HFP) is the strongest Lewis basic polymers. Except aluminum ion, lithium ion is the strongest Lewis acidic ion according to their , value of Lewis acids. Therefore, a strong Lewis acid,base interaction will exist between lithium ion and P(VDF- co -HFP). This will restrict the transference of lithium ion in P(VDF- co -HFP). To enhance the lithium ion transference by blending other metal ions into P(VDF- co -HFP), it is suggested that the preferential ions should be Al3+, Mg2+, Na+, and Ca2+ because these metal ions have relative large , values. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Independent Effects of Nitrogen Substitution for Oxygen and Yttrium Substitution for Magnesium on the Properties of Mg-Y-Si-Al-O-N Glasses

Michael J. Pomeroy
Glasses of composition (in equivalent percent) (28 ,x)Mg:xY:56Si:16Al:(100 ,y)O:yN, with x= 0, 14, or 28 for y= 0 and 15 and with x= 0, 7, 14, 21, or 28 for y= 10, were prepared by melting and casting. For glasses where the nitrogen content was varied for a constant cationic ratio, the glass molar volume (MV), compactness (C), Young's modulus (E), glass-transition temperature (Tg), and dilatometric-softening temperature (Tds) varied linearly as the nitrogen content increased, with MV decreasing and the other properties increasing. From the incremental changes in these properties with nitrogen content, for glasses with x= 0, 14, and 28, good linear fits (R2 > 0.99) were obtained, and best-fit slopes are reported here. The property changes and their linearity were consistent with the increased cross-linking of the glass network by tricoordinated nitrogen. The replacement of magnesium by yttrium led to a nonlinear decrease in glass compactness and to nonlinear increases in MV, Tg, and Tds. However, linear correlations were found for MV and ionic volume and for Tg, Tds, and the coordination of (Si,Al)(O,N) tetrahedra of the glass structural units to the modifier cations not involved in charge compensating aluminum ions in fourfold coordination. The replacement of magnesium by yttrium had little effect on Young's modulus, and this result was related to similar changes in the compactness, C. The present results showed that the effects of substituting nitrogen for oxygen and yttrium for magnesium are independent and additive; thus, no synergistic effects of anion and cation substitutions were observed.

Gelling of Alumina Suspensions Using Alginic Acid Salt and Hydroxyaluminum Diacetate

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 11 2002

This paper proposes a novel direct casting method of alumina suspensions using alginic acid salt and the coagulation agent hydroxyaluminum diacetate (HADA). These two compounds allowed the consolidation of alumina suspensions through a simultaneous time-delayed physical and chemical gelation process. The physical gel was formed by the gradual release of aluminum and acetate ions from the HADA in water, while the chemical gel originated from the cross-linking of alginate molecules by the polyvalent aluminum ions. Wet alumina green bodies displayed enhanced mechanical properties with the addition of minimal contents of organic material (<0.1 wt%). [source]
