Abstract

The diffusive sampling is of great advantage to air pollutant monitoring in manned spaceflight cabin. The quantitative method and steps of diffusive sampling is given in this paper by an experimental studying on diffusive sampling of toluol-air mixture; Effectiveness of the method and effects of environmental factors on the quantification of the diffusive sampling were discussed. This method is of reference value to quantification of the polycomponent-air mixture.

Oil/water and pre-emulsified oil/water (PIT) dispersions in a stirred vessel: Implications for fermentations.

This study examines dispersions of rapeseed oil (RSO) in water by mechanical agitation under conditions mimicking those found in certain antibiotic fermentations; for example, in the presence of air, antifoam, and finely divided CaCO(3) particles. A problem with residual oil has been reported for such fermentations, and it has been suggested that the use of pre-emulsified oil can reduce this problem. Hence, the dispersion of a pre-emulsified oil produced by the "phase inversion temperature (PIT) method" has been evaluated. In both cases, the volume fraction of oil was 2%. For the RSO systems, a relatively high agitation speed was required to disperse the oil, especially in the presence of the particles and, when the agitation was stopped, separation occurred rapidly. The Sauter mean drop diameters depended on the system, being at an average energy dissipation rate of approximately 0.9 W kg(-1), 180 microm for RSO/water, 130 microm for RSO/water(antifoam)/air, 580 microm for RSO/water/CaCO(3), and 850 microm for RSO/water(antifoam)/air/CaCO(3). For the same four systems, the PIT emulsion, once dispersed, was very stable and the drop size was essentially independent of the operating conditions, with a Sauter mean diameter of approximately 0.3 microm. The implications of these findings for fermentations in which oil is used as a carbon source are assessed.

Partition and release of 21 aroma compounds during storage of a pectin gel system.

The increasing popularity of low-fat products increases the need for a better understanding of how flavor release is affected by partial substitution of fat with hydrocolloids. Partitioning and release of aroma compounds from four pectin gels with different compositions were studied with static headspace and with a model mouth. Air/product partition coefficients determine the potential extent of aroma release, and mass transfer determines the rate at which aroma compounds are released to the vapor phase. This study showed that the gel network had large effects on the partition of aroma compounds between the gel and vapor phase. The specific properties of the aroma compounds were also of importance for the air/gel partition. Storage of the four gels showed that one of the weaker gels was influencing the concentration of aroma compounds in the headspace, probably caused by formation of a denser network over time.

Formation and structure of self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiolates on palladium.

The adsorption of n-alkanethiols onto polycrystalline thin films of palladium containing a strong (111) texture produces well-organized, self-assembled monolayers. The organization of the alkane chains in the monolayer and the nature of the bonding between the palladium and the thiol were studied by contact angle measurements, optical ellipsometry, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XPS data reveals that a compound palladium-sulfide interphase is present at the surface of the palladium film. The RAIR spectra, ellipsometry data, and wetting properties show that the palladium-sulfide phase is terminated with an organized, methyl-terminated monolayer of alkanethiolates. The local molecular environment of the alkane chains transitions from a conformationally disordered, liquidlike state to a mostly all-trans, crystalline-like structure with increasing chain length (n = 8-26). The intensities and dichroism of the methylene and methyl stretching modes support a model for the average orientation of an ensemble of all-trans-conformer chains with a tilt angle of approximately 14-18 degrees with respect to the surface normal and a twist angle of the CCC plane relative to the tilt plane of approximately 45 degrees. The SAMs are stable in air, although the sulfur present at the surface oxidizes in air over a period of 2-5 days at room temperature. The differences in chain organization between SAMs formed by microcontact printing and by solution deposition are also examined by RAIRS and XPS.
