ABSTRACTSiC fine particles were synthesized by the gas-phase thermal decomposition of tetramethylsilane (Si(CH3)4) in hydrogen under microgravity of 10−4G for 10 sec. Rapid heating to the temperature over 800°C which is required for thermal decomposition of Si(CH3)4) under short-time microgravity was attained using a chemical oven where the heat of exothermic reaction of combustion synthesis of Ti-A1-4B composites was used as the heat source. Monodisperse and spherical SiC fine particles were synthesized under microgravity, whereas aggregates of SiC fine particles were synthesized under 1 G gravity. The SiC particles synthesized under microgravity (150-200 nm) were bigger in size and narrower in size distribution than those under 1 G gravity (100-150 nm).

One of the main consumers of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is the pharmaceutical industry, where MCC is used as a binder and filler in direct compression of tablets. MCC is produced by acidic hydrolysis of cellulose, which usually results in a decrease in whiteness. This is due to the destruction of sugars formed during hydrolysis and the subsequent formation of colored products. The composition and properties of these products depend on the method of hydrolysis, acid concentration, temperature, and process duration. One of the most promising methods for producing MCC is gas-phase hydrolysis of cellulose with hydrogen chloride gas-air mixtures. The method has a high rate of hydrolysis, low reagent and energy consumption. The requirements of the pharmaceutical industry determine the need to produce MCC with high whiteness. The research purpose is to select bleaching modes for MCC using sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide as bleaching agents. MCC produced by gas-phase hydrolysis of bleached wood pulp was used during the study. The whiteness and intensity of the yellow tint of MCC in the bleaching process were determined by digital colorimetry on a flatbed scanner. The paper shows that sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide allow achieving the whiteness not less than 90 % and the intensity of the yellow tint not more than 3 standard units. High-quality bleaching can be carried out even for MCC samples with an initial whiteness of about 40 %. The most effective bleaching agent is sodium hypochlorite when the pH of the bleaching solution is 2–3. Hydrogen peroxide also provides high whiteness of MCC at pH of 10–11. However, the consumption of active oxygen (AO) for bleaching is more than three times higher in comparison with the consumption of active chlorine (ACh). It was found that the dyes of MCC produced by gas-phase hydrolysis consist of two chromophore groups that decolorize at different rates. The easily oxidized group of components makes up about 90 % of the total amount of dyes, and the resistant to oxidation components make up about 10 % and determine the intensity of the yellow tint of MCC. The modes of bleaching MCC with sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide to product samples with whiteness comparable to that of imported samples were determined.

Abstract. We incorporate the recently developed Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism (version 2, RACM2) into the Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system for comparison with the existing 2005 Carbon Bond mechanism with updated toluene chemistry (CB05TU). Compared to CB05TU, RACM2 enhances the domain-wide monthly mean hydroxyl radical concentrations by 46% and nitric acid by 26%. However, it reduces hydrogen peroxide by 2%, peroxyacetic acid by 94%, methyl hydrogen peroxide by 19%, peroxyacetyl nitrate by 40%, and organic nitrate by 41%. RACM2 predictions generally agree better with the observed data than the CB05TU predictions. RACM2 enhances ozone for all ambient levels leading to higher bias at low (< 60 ppbv) concentrations but improved performance at high (>70 ppbv) concentrations. The RACM2 ozone predictions are also supported by increased ozone production efficiency that agrees better with observations. Compared to CB05TU, RACM2 enhances the domain-wide monthly mean sulfate by 10%, nitrate by 6%, ammonium by 10%, anthropogenic secondary organic aerosols by 42%, biogenic secondary organic aerosols by 5%, and in-cloud secondary organic aerosols by 7%. Increased inorganic and organic aerosols with RACM2 agree better with observed data. While RACM2 enhances ozone and secondary aerosols by relatively large margins, control strategies developed for ozone or fine particles using the two mechanisms do not differ appreciably.

In recent years, hydrogen peroxide and nitrous oxide (1) "green oxidants" – have attracted much attention of researchers as a selective oxidizing agent for the catalytic oxidation of pyridine bases. In this regard, the reaction of pyridine oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and nitrous oxide under homogeneous conditions, in the gas phase, without the use of catalysts, at atmospheric pressure, has been experimentally investigated. Areas of selective oxidation of pyridine with hydrogen peroxide and nitrous oxide have been established, and optimal conditions have been found for obtaining valuable raw materials required in the petrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries
