Its members represent government, Induetrlal, and unlverslt.y leti=tories In the areas of mmilochemistry and nucl-r chemistry. Support for the activities of this and other subcomnlttees of the Ccmuoittee on Nuclear Science is provided by a gmnt from the National Science Foundation. The Subcomnlttee has concerned Itself with preparation of publications, encouraging and appotiing activities in nuclear education, 6ponsoring sympo~ti on selected cum-ent topics in radlochemistry and nuclear chemistry, and investigating special problems as they arise. A series of monographs on the mdio- chemistry of essentially all the elements and on mdioclwnical techniques is being published. Initiation and encouragement of publication of artlcleB on nuclear education in various subject areas of chemistry have occurred, and development and improvement of certain educational activities (e.g., laboreto~ and demonstmtion experiments with mdioectivity) have been encouraged and assisted. Radioactive contamination of reagents and materials has been investigated and specific recommendations rmde. This series of monographs has resulted from the need for comprehensive compilations of mdiochemical and nuclaar chemical tifommtion. Each monogmph collects in one volume the pertinent Information required for mdlochemlcal work with an tiditidul element or with a specialized technique. The U. S. Atomic Energy Commission has sponsored the printing of the series. Ccumnents and suggestions for further publications and activities of value to persons working with radioactivity are welcomed by the Subcommittee. M. E. &llou, Chairman Subcommittee on Rsdiochemistry iii PREFACE This report has been prepared as one of a series of monographs on the radio- chemistry of the elements for the Subcommittee on RadioChemistry of the Committee on IWmlear Science within the National Academy of Sciences. There is included a review of the nuclear and chernic~ features of plutonium of particular interest to the radiochemist, a discussion of sample disacilution “&d counting techniques, and finally, a collection of radiochemical procedures for plutonium. The literature search was completed apprmdmately through September 1964. It is hoped that the bibliography is sufficiently extensive to serve the needs of the radiochemiet, but it is to be expected that important references were o~tted. The author would appreciate being made aware of such omissions, that they might be included in possible future editions of this monograph. The author wishes to express thanks to Dr. Earl Hyde, for the loan of his extensive card file on the rmiiochemietry of plutonium, to Carl Wenari&h and the staff of the LRL Library” who greatly aaaisted in the literature search, to Mrs. Shauna Ness *O typed the first draft, and to Mra. Vivian R. Mendenhall who competently edit ed the final draft and prepared the bibliography. I%mlly the auf.bor thanks his colleagues at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, especially Dr. R. W. Hoff, for reading and criticizing the manuscript, and Dr. P. C. Stevenson for his conthued interest and support during the writing of this monograph. George H.

Printed in Sweden by US-AB, Stockholm 2008 Distributor: FOOS/Structurkemi ii ABSTRACT Carbide derived carbons (CDCs) have been synthesised through chlorina- tion of VC, TiC, WC, TaC, NbC, HfC and ZrC at different temperatures. The aim of the investigation was to systematically study changes of struc- tural and adsorption properties depending on the synthesis conditions. CDCs were characterised using nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron micros- copy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The studies revealed the CDCs structures to range from amorphous to ordered, from microporous to mesoporous. It was found that structural ordering and porosity can be modi- fied by: i) synthesis temperature, ii) precursor, iii) density and volume of precursor, iv) catalysts, v) incorporation of nitrogen in to carbide structure, and CDCs can be tuned up to the demanded quality. They also exhibited a high potential for methane storage. iii iv LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Paper I. Porosity development along the synthesis of carbons from metal carbides S.
  • IA Metals: Alkali Metals

    IA Metals: Alkali Metals

    IA Metals: Alkali Metals INTRODUCTION: The alkali metals are a group in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs). You should remember that there is a separate group called the alkaline earth metals in Group Two. They are a very different family, even though they have a similar name. The seventh member of alkali metals group – francium, is radioactive and so rare that only 20 atoms of francium may exist on Earth at any given moment. The term alkali is derived from an Arabic word meaning “ashes.” PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Shiny Soft (They can all be cut easily with a knife ) Highly reactive at standard temperature and pressure Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air Their density increases as we move from Li to F White/metal coloured Very good conductors of heat and electricity Have the ability to impart colour to the flame. This property of alkali metals is used in their identification. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: The atom of any given alkali metal has only one valence electron. The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase as we move from the top to the bottom of the group. Like any other metals, ionization potential is very low. In fact, alkali metals have the lowest ionization potential among the elements of any given period of the periodic table. Any alkali metal when comes in contact with air or oxygen, starts burning and oxides are formed in the process. At the end of the chemical reaction, lithium gives lithium monoxide (LiO), sodium gives sodium peroxide (Na2O2) and other alkali metals give superoxides.

    FRANCIUM Element Symbol: Fr Atomic Number: 87

    FRANCIUM Element Symbol: Fr Atomic Number: 87 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI KAYE GREEN www.raci.org.au FRANCIUM Element symbol: Fr Atomic number: 87 Francium (previously known as eka-cesium and actinium K) is a radioactive metal and the second rarest naturally occurring element after Astatine. It is the least stable of the first 103 elements. Very little is known of the physical and chemical properties of Francium compared to other elements. Francium was discovered by Marguerite Perey of the Curie Institute in Paris, France in 1939. However, the existence of an element of atomic number 87 was predicted in the 1870s by Dmitri Mendeleev, creator of the first version of the periodic table, who presumed it would have chemical and physical properties similar to Cesium. Several research teams attempted to isolate this missing element, and there were at least four false claims of discovery during which it was named Russium (after the home country of soviet chemist D. K. Dobroserdov), Alkalinium (by English chemists Gerald J. K. Druce and Frederick H. Loring as the heaviest alkali metal), Virginium (after Virginia, home state of chemist Fred Allison), and Moldavium (by Horia Hulubei and Yvette Cauchois after Moldavia, the Romanian province where they conducted their work). Perey finally discovered Francium after purifying radioactive Actinium-227 from Lanthanum, and detecting particles decaying at low energy levels not previously identified. The new product exhibited chemical properties of an alkali metal (such as co-precipitating with Cesium salts), which led Perey to believe that it was element 87, caused by the alpha radioactive decay of Actinium-227.

    Ceramic Carbides: the Tough Guys of the Materials World

    Ceramic Carbides: The Tough Guys of the Materials World by Paul Everitt and Ian Doggett, Technical Specialists, Goodfellow Ceramic and Glass Division c/o Goodfellow Corporation, Coraopolis, Pa. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are among the world’s hardest known materials and are used in a variety of demanding industrial applications, from blasting-equipment nozzles to space-based mirrors. But there is more to these “tough guys” of the materials world than hardness alone—these two ceramic carbides have a profile of properties that are valued in a wide range of applications and are worthy of consideration for new research and product design projects. Silicon Carbide Use of this high-density, high-strength material has evolved from mainly high-temperature applications to a host of engineering applications. Silicon carbide is characterized by: • High thermal conductivity • Low thermal expansion coefficient • Outstanding thermal shock resistance • Extreme hardness FIGURE 1: • Semiconductor properties Typical properties of silicon carbide • A refractive index greater than diamond (hot-pressed sheet) Chemical Resistance Although many people are familiar with the Acids, concentrated Good Acids, dilute Good general attributes of this advanced ceramic Alkalis Good-Poor (see Figure 1), an important and frequently Halogens Good-Poor overlooked consideration is that the properties Metals Fair of silicon carbide can be altered by varying the Electrical Properties final compaction method.

    Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table

    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.
