Stable Isotope Compositions Of Sedimentary Organic Matter Off Zanzibar Town, Ann Muzuka Dec 1999

Stable Isotope Compositions Of Sedimentary Organic Matter Off Zanzibar Town, Ann Muzuka

Tanzania Journal of Science

Stable isotope compositions of sedimentary organic carbon for sediments collected off the Zanzibar Town averaged -17.9%. Low isotope values of organic carbon, which were associated with high C/N ratios, were observed within Zanzibar harbour suggesting a significant contribution of terrestrial organic matter to the harbour. Sediments collected outside the Zanzibar harbour were richer in 13C than those collected within the harbour area. This 13 enrichment in 13C can be attributed to a decrease in the influence of terrestrial organic matter (0M) and high contribution of' sea grasses. A decrease in the influence of terrestrial OM is further supported …

Synthesis Of Bis-(3-Carbethoxy-6-Methoxy-4-Methyl-2-Quinolyl) Selenide, Rr Malisa, G L. Mhehe, Sjm Mdachi

Tanzania Journal of Science

In the execution of a synthetic strategy aiming at 3-acetyl-2,4-dichloro-6-methoxyquinoline, a precursor to a 4-methoyselenolo[2,3-b]quinolone, we have instead obtained 2-chloro-3-carbethoxy-6-methoxy-4-methylquinoline. These results strongly suggest that the compound claimed to be 3-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxyquinoline in the literature and a precursor to 3-actyl-2,4-dichloro-6-methoxyquinoline, is 3-carbethoxy-2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-methylquinoline, a precursor to 2-chlo-3-carbethoy-6-methoxy-4-methylquinoline. The reaction of the latter compound with sodium hydrogen selenide in ethanol yielded bis-(3-carbethoxy-6-methoxy-4-methyl-2-quinolyl) selenide.

A Novel Reaction Region Moving Electrode System For Electrochemical Power Sources, Jin-Kua You, Que Tu, Zheng-Jian Wang, Jie Sun, Zu-Geng Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In most of practical rechargeable batteries, charging/discharging process is always concerned with phase-transformation in the solid state. Due to the irreversibility of the phase-transformation, the cyclic performance of the rechargeable batteries are limited. In this paper, a novel reaction-region moving counter electrode system is constructed in our laboratory. The electrode system is operated at room temperature and cycled in solid-liquid phase during charging/discharging processes. With this electrode, the metal-complexes are firstly deposited (i.e. charging process) on the nearest working electrode and gradually extended to those another working electrodes several centimeters away from the counter electrode. The deposite is dissolved again …

Photoelectrochemical Studies On The Tio2 Nanostructured Porous Film Sensitized By Cyanine Dye, Li Zhang, Mai-Zhi Yang, Xue-Bin Qiao, Yan-Zhong Hao, En-Qing Gao, Sheng-Min Cai

Journal of Electrochemistry

The photoelectrochemical behaviors of the TiO2 nanostructured porous film sensitized by cyanine dye were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the excitaed state level matched the conduction band edge of TiO2 nanoparticle. Therefore the sensitization of the dye can increase the photocurrent intensity of the TiO2 nanostructured electrode obviously and results in a red-shift of optical absorption from the ultra-violet region to the visible. As a result, the light-to-electricity conversion efficiency was improved evidently, the maximum value of IPCE has reached 12.1%.

Two Ce(Ⅲ)-amino acid-imidazole teranry complexe were synthesized,These complexes have the composition of Ce(Trp)3IM(NO3)3·3H2O and Ce(Phe)3IM(NO3)3 respectively. The IR spectra indicate that the carboxy group of amino-acid and the N atoms of imidazole are coordinated with Ce(Ⅲ) ion. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the electrochemical behaviour of Ce(Ⅲ) ion, the mixture of Ce(Ⅲ) with ligands, and Ce(Ⅲ) binary or ternary complexes. Within the scan range of -0.1 to 1.10 V (vs.SCE), both of ternary complexes depicted completely irreversible electron transfer process.

Investigation Of Sodium Hypophosphite Anodic Oxidizing Behavior In The Process Of Acid Electroless Nickel Deposition, Mei-Yuan Wang, Ya-Fei Kuang, Yan Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic oxidizing behavior of sodium hypophosphite in the process of electroless nickle deposition (pH=5.5) was investigated with the linear potential sweep method and alternating current impedance. The results indicated that, the oxidation of NaH2PO2 was a complicated electrochemical process and affected by the concentration of NaH2PO2, the temperature of the bath, the sweep rate and the existence of nickel ion. The NaH2PO2 electrooxidation reaction was very likely preceded by heterogeneous interface transformation process, which might be the control step of the whole anodic process.

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

A combined experimental and theoretical study of argon valence photoionization illustrates the discovery of the broad lack of validity of the independent-particle approximation (IPA) for x-ray photoemission. In addition to previously known breakdowns of the IPA, which are limited to high photon energies and regions very near threshold, the observed breakdown in photoionization at intermediate energies demonstrates generally that the IPA is valid only in very restricted domains. These restrictions are expected to be relevant throughout the periodic table, with consequences for a wide variety of applications.

Journal of Electrochemistry

A new method for preparing Pt-supported bilayer lipid membrane (Pt-BLM) on Pt electrode cleaned by high power ultrasound was reported. The reported method was convenient, costing less platinum and could be used to form large-area Pt-BLM as compared with the traditional Pt-wire-cutting method. The electrical properties of Pt-BLM were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Experimental results showed that the values of membrane capacitance and the voltammetric characteristics were consistent with those of Pt-BLM prepared by traditional method.

Deactivation Of Nickel Oxide/Hydroxide To Electrooxidation Of H2Po2 Anions On Nickel Electrodes In Alkaline Solutions, Tai-Xiang Jiang, Hui-Huang Wu Aug 1999

Deactivation Of Nickel Oxide/Hydroxide To Electrooxidation Of H2Po2 Anions On Nickel Electrodes In Alkaline Solutions, Tai-Xiang Jiang, Hui-Huang Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrooxidation of hypophosphite anions on polycrystalline nickel in alkaline solutions has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and open circuit potential measurements. The results are explained based on the mechanism that the first step of hypophosphite oxidation is the adsorption of hypophosphite ions on nickel, followed by the homolysis of its hydrogen bond with the formation of radicals. The oxidation of hypophosphite on nickel in alkaline medium occurs at lower potentials between ca. -0.8 V— -1.1 V (SCE) and phosphite ion is the only oxidation product. There is no indication of hypophosphite oxidation at higher potentials. Severe deactivation of the surface …
