Abstract Our findings proved that micron-scale zero-valent iron (mZVI) particles with pre-magnetization combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) can markedly enhance the removal of acid orange 7 (AO7). Investigation into the mechanism showed that PMS accelerated the corrosion of ZVI to release Fe2+ under acidic conditions, and the in-situ generated Fe2+ further activated PMS to produce SO4•− and •OH, resulting in AO7 removal. Further, the Lorentz force strengthened the convection in the solution and the field gradient force tended to move Fe2+ from a higher to a lower field gradient at the pre-magnetized ZVI (Pre-ZVI) particle surfaces, thus indicating that pre-magnetization promoted the corrosion of ZVI to release Fe2+, which resulted in the enhancement of PMS activation. Nano-scale ZVI (nZVI) was more effective than mZVI in activating PMS to degrade AO7, but the pre-magnetization effect on mZVI was better than on nZVI. AO7 removal increased with higher ZVI and PMS dosage, lower AO7 concentration, and acidic conditions (pH = 2, 3). This study helps to understand the reactive radicals-based oxidation process with application of pre-magnetized ZVI in activating PMS.

This paper presents studies on the immobilization of the polyoxometalate (H5PV2Mo10O40) on aminosilanemodified silicate as a new barrier of biological toxicant. The polyoxometalate-doped aminosilane-modified silicate (Ormosil/POM hybrid and Ormosil + POM blend) were synthesized by an in situ sol–gel route under acidic conditions. The physical properties of the samples were examined using NMR, SEM, XPS and TGA spectroscopy. The results indicated that POM was immobilized in channels by covalent linkages with the Ormosil of the Ormosil/POM hybrid, and that POM was incorporated into the Ormosil after impregnation from the Ormosil + POM blend. The covalent bond resulted from the reaction of Ormosil with POM, in which Si species were inserted into the vacancy of lacunary POM to form Si–O–Mo bonds. The antibacterial effects of samples were investigated with zone of inhibition testing, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The Ormosil/POM hybrid and Ormosil + POM blend possessed excellent antibacterial abilities and the antibacterial performance of the Ormosil/POM hybrid was better than that of the Ormosil + POM blend.

Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) has been evaluated as an alternative to conventional furnace technique for oxidation of 4H- and 3C-SiC. We show that the growth of the SiO2 films in a RTP chamber is orders of magnitude faster than in a conventional furnace. As well as being fast, this process leads to oxide films with quality comparable or even better than the one grown in classical furnaces. Studying different gas for oxidizing and annealing ambient, we demonstrate that SiO2/SiC interface is significantly improved when using N2O instead of O2 or even N2-O2 dilution.

ABSTRACT In 15 cases of therapeutic abortion by laparotomy the placenta was disconnected from the foetus and perfused in situ with tracer amounts of radioactive dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHAS), androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (A), testosterone (T) and 17β-oestradiol (OE2). Analysis of the placentas, perfusates and urine samples revealed an extensive aromatisation of DHA, A and T; more than 70% of the radioactive material recovered was phenolic, and at least 80 % of this phenolic material was identified as oestrone (OE1), 17β-oestradiol (OE2) and oestriol (OE3), the latter being detected only in the urine. Comparative studies indicated that A and T were aromatised somewhat better than DHA and that all three unconjugated steroids were aromatised to a much greater extent than DHAS. Radioactive OE1 and OE2 were isolated and identified in the placentas and perfusates, but no OE3, epimeric oestriols, or ring D ketols could be detected in these sources, not even when human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was added to the blood prior to perfusion. Lack of placental 16-hydroxylation was also apparent when OE2 was perfused. Regardless of the precursor perfused, there was three times more OE2 than OE1 in the placenta and three times more OE1 than OE2 in the perfusate. This was also the case following perfusion with OE2. The results are interpreted as suggesting the existence in the pregnant human of a placental »barrier« limiting the passage of circulating androgen. The barrier consists of a) limited ability to transfer directly DHAS and b) an enzymic mechanism resulting in the rapid and extensive aromatisation of the important androgens DHA, A and T.

The SoLid Collaboration is currently operating a 1.6 ton neutrino detector near the Belgian BR2 reactor. Its main goal is the observation of the oscillation of electron antineutrinos to previously undetected flavour states. The highly segmented SoLid detector employs a compound scintillation technology based on PVT scintillator in combination with LiF-ZnS(Ag) screens containing the 6Li isotope. The experiment has demonstrated a channel-to-channel response that can be controlled to the level of a few percent, an energy resolution of better than 14% at 1 MeV, and a determination of the interaction vertex with a precision of 5 cm. This contribution highlights the major outcomes of the R&D program, the quality control during component manufacture and integration, the current performance and stability of the full-scale system, as well as the in-situ calibration of the detector with various radioactive sources.

Duty ratio is a key factor during micro-plasma oxidation process. Its influences on structure and corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings on Ti–6Al–4V by pulsed bi-polar MPO in NaAlO2 solution were investigated. The ceramic coatings were composed of Al2TiO5, α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2, of which Al2TiO5 was the main crystalline. The coating can be divided into a porous outer layer and a dense inner layer. Compared with the condition of the same duty ratio for both pulses, the rise of anode duty ratio (D1) led to an increase in the amount of Al2TiO5 and α-Al2O3 and increased the thickness of the coating; whereas the rise of cathode duty ratio (D2) led to a decrease in the amount of α-Al2O3 and decreased the thickness of the coating. Besides, the corrosion resistance of the coated samples was better than that of Ti-6Al-4V substrate. When D1 / D2 = 60 / 30, the produced coating’s corrosion resistance was best.

One of the greatest drawbacks to predicting the behaviour of bonded joints has been the lack of reliable data on the mechanical properties of adhesives. In this study, methods for determining mechanical properties of structural adhesive were discussed. The Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and tensile strength of the adhesive were tested by dogbone specimens (bulk form) and butt joint specimens (in situ form). The shear modulus and shear strength were test by V-notched specimens (bulk form) and thick adherend lap-shear (TALS) joint specimens (in situ form). The test results show that the elastic modulus provided by the manufacturer is too low, the dogbone specimen is better than the butt joint specimen to test the tensile strength and elastic modulus and the TALS joint specimen is better than the V-notched specimen to test the shear strength.
