AbstractAlthough there have been many instances of ship collision at sea in recent times, not much research has been conducted on the topic. In this study, paint from an actual site of ship collision was collected and analyzed as evidence. The amount of evidence collected from the ships involved in the collision is either small or has inconsistent morphology. In addition, the contaminants and samples are often mixed in this evidence, making its analysis difficult. Paint traces of the damaged ship and the ship suspected to be responsible for the collision were compared through scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), and pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS) analyses. The ship responsible for the collision could be identified by characterization and by performing a comparative analysis of the extracted paint. Among the methods used in this study, Py–GC/MS can sensitively analyze even similar paints, and identified styrene and phthalic anhydride as the most prominent components of the paint used as evidence. The results obtained can be used to investigate the evidence collected from collision sites and to determine the ship responsible for the collision.

In the present research, the flame retardancy and pyrolysis mechanism of polyimide fibers were investigated by cone calorimeter, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. As it turned out, the polyimide fibers possessed excellent thermal stability and flame retardancy. The onset thermal degradation temperature ( Tonset 10%) of polyimide was 587℃ and 610℃ at nitrogen and air atmospheres, respectively. The polyimide fibers cannot be ignited at the heat flux of 35 and 50 kW/m2, while they can be ignited at the heat flux of 75 kW/m2 with the time to ignition of 33 s and peak heat release rate of 53.4 kW/m2. Moreover, the flame retardancy of woven and knitted fabrics was also discussed, which demonstrated that knitted fabric was easier to become thermally thick than woven fabric. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the residual chars of fibers showed that the shape of fiber can be maintained irrespective of heat flux, but the chemical structure of the fiber was destroyed at the heat flux of 75 kW/m2. The pyrolysis combustible volatiles at 700℃ include benzonitrile, aniline, and phenol, which can interpret the ignition of polyimide fibers. The results obtained in the present research revealed the flame retardancy and pyrolysis mechanism of polyimide fibers, which can guide its application and further modification.

AbstractCarbon materials should have specific centers for its functionalities. In this study, the specific centers of polybenzoxazine carbides were studied for the first time. Three classical benzoxazine monomers were chose as the object. The transformation of nitrogen configuration of polybenzoxazines carbides was characterized via pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the tertiary amine nitrogen converted to pyridinic nitrogen and pyrrolic nitrogen incorporated in graphene residuals during the carbonization, which were the specific centers for the functionality.

AbstractLignin has been submitted to electrochemical oxidation in the presence of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and Ni-Co bimetallic electrocatalysts, which were prepared by a simple electrochemical deposition process. The composition and morphology of the catalyst were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA). The effects of the three electrocatalysts on the electrochemical oxidation of lignin were observed by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The degradation products were quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The rate of electrochemical oxidation of lignin is higher with Ni-Co bimetallic electrocatalyst with higher Co contents and the main products obtained were vanillin, apocynin and 3-methylbenzaldehyde.

<p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan senyawa organik khususnya organic karbon terlarut (DOC) dari dua spesies daun tumbuhan (<em>wandoo eucalyptus </em>and <em>pinus radiate, conifer</em>) yang larut dalam air selama periode 5 bulan leaching eksperimen. Kecepatan melarutnya senyawa organic ditentukan secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif menggunakan kombinasi dari beberapa teknik diantaranya Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyser, Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) spektrokopi dan pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS).</p><p>Hasil analisis DOC dan UV menunjukkan peningkatan yang tajam dari kelarutan senyawa organic di awal periode pengamatan yang selanjutnya berkurang seiring dengan waktu secara eksponensial. Jumlah relatif senyawa organic yang terlarut tergantung pada luas permukaan, aktifitas mikrobiologi dan jenis sampel tumbuhan (segar atau kering) yang digunakan. Fluktuasi profil DOC dan UV<sub>254</sub> disebabkan oleh aktifitas mikrobiologi. Diperoleh bahwa daun kering lebih mudah terdegradasi menghasilkan senyawa organic dalam air dibandingkan dengan daun segar. Hasil pyrolysis secara umum menunjukkan bahwa senyawa hidrokarbon aromatic dan fenol (dan turunannya) lebih banyak ditemukan pada residue sampel setelah proses leaching kemungkinan karena adanya senyawa lignin atau aktifitas humifikasi mikrobiologi membuktikan bahwa senyawa-senyawa tersebut merupakan komponen penting dalam proses karakterisasi DOC.</p>
