Abstract In aerosol research aerosols of known size, shape, and density are highly desirable because most aerosol properties depend strongly on particle size. However, such constant and reproducible generation of those aerosol particles whose size and concentration can be easily controlled, can be achieved only in laboratory-scale tests. In large scale experiments, different generation methods for various elements and compounds have been applied. This work presents, in a brief form, a review of applications of these methods used in large scale experiments on aerosol behaviour and source term. Description of generation method and generated aerosol transport conditions is followed by properties of obtained aerosol, aerosol instrumentation used, and the scheme of aerosol generation system -wherever it was available. An information concerning aerosol generation particular purposes and reference number(s) is given at the end of a particular case. These methods reviewed are: evaporation-condensation, using a furnace heating and using a plasma torch; atomization of a liquid, using compresesed air nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers and atomization of liquid suspension; and dispersion of powders. Among the projects included in this worked are: ACE, LACE, GE Experiments, EPRI Experiments, LACE-Espana, UKAEA Experiments, BNWL Experiments, ORNL Experiments, MARVIKEN, SPARTA and DEMONA. The main chemical compounds studied are: Ba, Cs, CsOH, Csl, Ni, Cr, Nal, TeO2, UO2A12O3, Al2Si05, B2O3, Cd, CdO, Fe2O3. MnO, SiO2, AgO. SnO2.

"Metodos de generation de particulas aplicados en experimentos a gran escala sobre comportamiento de aerosoles y estudios de termino fuente" Swiderska-Kowalczyk, M; Gomez, F.J.; Martin, M. 112 pp. 38 figs. 50 refs. Resumen En investigation de aerosoles, es altamente deseable el uso de particulas de tamaflo, forma y densidad conocidas debido a que las propiedades mas importantes del aerosol dependen fuertemente del tamafto de particula. Sin embargo, tal generacion constante y reproducible de dichas particulas, cuya concentration y tamaflo pueda ser facilmente controlable, s61o puede alcanzarse en pruebas a escala de laboratorio. En experimentos a gran escala de estudio de aerosoles, se han aplicado diferentes metodos de generacion para diversos eiementos y compuestos. El presente trabajo presenta una revision de las aplicaciones de estos metodos usados en experimentos a gran escala sobre comportamiento de aerosoles y termino fuente. La description del mdtodo de generacion y las condiciones de transporte del aerosol generado viene seguida de las propiedades del aerosol obtenido, la instrumentaci6n de caracterizacion de aerosoles y un esquema del sistema utilizado. Estos metodos revisados son: evaporaci6n-condensaci6n, usando hornos convencionales o antorcha de plasma; atomizacibn de un liquido, usando nebulizadores de aire comprimido, ultras6nicos o atomizaci6n de suspensiones; y dispersi6n de polvos.

  • Enzyme and Lateral Flow Monoclonal Antibody-Based Immunoassays To
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Enzyme and lateral fow monoclonal antibody‑based immunoassays to simultaneously determine spirotetramat and spirotetramat‑enol in foodstufs Ramón E. Cevallos‑Cedeño1,3, Consuelo Agulló2, Antonio Abad‑Fuentes1, Antonio Abad‑Somovilla2 & Josep V. Mercader1* Spirotetramat is employed worldwide to fght insect pests due to its high efciency. This chemical is quickly metabolized by plants into spirotetramat‑enol, so current regulations establish that both compounds must be determined in foodstufs for monitoring purposes. Nowadays, immunochemical methods constitute rapid and cost‑efective strategies for chemical contaminant analysis at trace levels. However, high‑afnity binders and suitable bioconjugates are required. In this study, haptens with opposite functionalisation sites were synthesized in order to generate high‑afnity monoclonal antibodies. A direct competitive enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay with an IC50 value for the sum of spirotetramat and spirotetramat‑enol of 0.1 μg/L was developed using selected antibodies and a novel heterologous bioconjugate carrying a rationally‑designed hapten. Studies with fortifed grape, grape juice, and wine samples showed good precision and accuracy values, with limits of quantifcation well below the maximum residue limits. Excellent correlation of results was observed with a standard reference chromatographic method. As a step forward, a lateral fow immunoassay was developed for onsite screening analysis of spirotetramat in wine. This assay was successfully validated according to Regulation 519/2014/EU for semi‑quantitative methods at concentrations in line with the legal levels of spirotetramat and spirotetramat‑enol in grapes, with a satisfactory false suspect rate below 2%. Spirotetramat (SP), also known as BYI08330, was developed by Bayer CropScience a few years ago, and it was approved as a pesticide in the European Union and in the USA in 20141,2.

  • A Study of Nickel Molybdenum Oxide Catalysts for The
    A STUDY OF NICKEL MOLYBDENUM OXIDE CATALYSTS FOR THE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF n-HEXANE By Bavani Pillay Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Chemistry University of KwaZulu-Natal Durban, South Africa June 2009 As the candidate’s supervisor I have/have not approved this thesis/dissertation for submission. Signed: _____________ Name: _____________ Date: ______________ ii ABSTRACT Nickel molybdenum oxide catalysts with different chemical compositions have been synthesized and tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-hexane. The co-precipitation method was used for the synthesis and several methods were used to characterize these catalysts. These include inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, temperature programmed reduction, temperature programmed desorption, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy techniques as well as the Brauner-Emmet-Teller technique for surface area determination. The phase composition of the catalysts was largely dependent on the chemical composition. Catalyst testing on n-hexane feed was done with a fixed bed continuous flow reactor and experiments were performed with feed/air ratios above and below the flammability limit. Varied reaction conditions were used for the catalytic testing. Prior to the catalytic testing, blank experiments were performed. Analysis of the products were done both online and offline in conjunction with gas chromatography employing FID and TCD detectors. The influence of the catalyst on the conversion of n-hexane and selectivity to dehydrogenation products is reported. Products observed were the carbon oxides (CO and CO 2), isomers of hexene (1-hexene, 2-hexene and 3-hexene), cyclic C 6 products (cyclohexene and benzene), cracked products: alkanes/alkenes (propane/ene, butane/ene) and oxygenates (ethanal, acetic acid and propanoic acid).

  • Release of Fission Products During and After Oxidation of Trace-Irradiated Uranium Dioxide at 3Oo-9Oo°C
    XA0056017 RELEASE OF FISSION PRODUCTS DURING AND AFTER OXIDATION OF TRACE-IRRADIATED URANIUM DIOXIDE AT 3OO-9OO°C P. Wood, G.H. Bannister Central Electricity Generating Board Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories UK Abstract Should defected U02 fuel pins come into contact with air then oxidation of the fuel may occur, the rate and consequences of which are dependent upon temperature and oxygen partial pressure. At CEGB-BNL an experimental programme is underway investigating the kinetics, and extent, of release of fission products during and after oxidation of trace-irradiated U02 to U3O3, and reduction of U3O3 to UO 2« This paper presents preliminary results and analysis of experiments performed at 300-900°C. Dense sintered U02 has been oxidised at 300-500°C using a thermobalance with simultaneous counting of released 85Kr. The kinetics of the 35Kr release are shown to correlate with the kinetics of oxidation, and the extent of release has been determined as 3-8% of that in the UO 2 converted to U3O3. The release of 106Ru and 137Cs during this oxidation has been estimated by Y~c°unting of the fuel sample, before and after oxidation, and of glassware in the vicinity of the sample. This indicates slight release of ruthenium and caesium. Greater fission product release is caused by oxidation at higher temperatures or by heating of the oxidation product. U 308 produced at 400°C has been heated at 800 and 900°C in air for 20 hours. This results in near total release of 85Kr and 106Ru, but still only slight release of 137Cs.
