(Received 19 June, revised 4 December 2002)
The crosslinking reaction of three series of a,w-dihydroxy oligo(alkylene maleate)s with a trifunctional isocyanate was followed by dynamic mechanical analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. The evaluation of rheological parameters, such as storage G’ and loss modulus G", was recorded. A typical G’ versus time curve has a characteristic “S” shape, indicating autoacceleration of the crosslinking reaction. The whole curing process starting from G’ equal G" or the beginning of gelation is described by a second - order phenomenological rheokinetic equation which takes into account the autoacceleration effect, the latter being a consequence of the superposition of both the chemical reaction and phase segregation. It appears that the crosslinking reaction rate depends on the concentration of the functional groups, i.e., on the molecular weight of the polyester prepolymer and on the length of the aliphatic sequence in the repeating unit or the segmental mobility. The crosslinking rate decreases in the order: poly(octamethylene maleate) > poly(hexamethylene maleate) > poly(butylene maleate).
 
Keywords: hydroxyl terminated polymaleates, polyurethane, rheokinetic analysis.

(Received 24 September, revised 8 November 2002)
The retention constants of variously substituted estradiol derivatives were measured as a function of the composition of various binary mobile phases in order to study the relationship between chemical structure and retention behaviour in TLC on alumina. The slopes and intercepts of the linear relationships between the retention constant RM and the logarithm of the volume fraction of the polar mobile phase component were calculated and are discussed in relation to the characteristics of the solute and mobile phase. The RFvalues and relative retention DRM of the compounds depend largely on the retention behaviour of their substituents. The results obtained in this investigation are compared with the results of the same derivatives obtained in previous investigations on silica gel.
 
Keywords: thin layer chromatography, alumina, non-aqueous binary mobile phases, estradiol derivatives, Soczewinski equation.

(Received 29 August, revised 18 November 2002)
An overall model for sulfur self-retention in ash during coal particle combustion is developed in this paper. It is assumed that sulfur retention during char combustion occurs due to the reaction between SO2 and CaO in the form of uniformly distributed non-porous grains. Parametric analysis shows that the process of sulfur self-retention is limited by solid difussion through the non-porous product layer formed on the CaO grains and that the most important coal characteristics which influence sulfur self-retention are coal rank, content of sulfur forms, molar Ca/S ratio and particle radius. A comparison with the experimentally obtained values in a FB reactor showed that the model can adequately predict the kinetics of the process, the levels of the obtained values of the SSR efficiencies, as well as the influence of temperature and coal particle size.
 
Keywords: coal combustion, sulfur retention by ash, modelling.

(Received 20 September, revised 4 December 2002)
The formation of anion rare earth element complexes with aminopolycarboxylic acids gives new possibilities for the separation of these elements on anion-exchangers. The higher affinity of the Nd(dcta)- and Sm(dcta)- complexes for the anion-exchangers compared to Y(dcta)- complexes indicates the possibility of yttrium purification as a macrocomponent from the former by frontal analysis. The weakly basic polyacrylate gel anion-exchanger Amberlite IRA 68 was more effective in the purification of Y(III) from Nd(III) and Sm(III) complexes with DCTA than the strongly basic anion-exchangers of this type.
 
Keywords: rare earth elements, polyacrylate anion-exchangers, DCTA.

(Received 5 November 2002)
The oxidation of hydrogen and hydrogen–carbon monoxide mixture has been investigated on well-characterized metallurgically prepared platinum–molybdenum (PtMo) alloys. It was concluded that the optimum surface concentration of molybdenum is near 23 mol.%. Based on experimentally determined parameters and simulations, the mechanism of the oxidation of CO/H2 mixtures is discussed.

Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade, Karnegijeva 4, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro

 
(Received 8 October, revised 11 November 2002)
Polarization curves of the anodic dissolution reaction of zinc were determined in EDTA solutions of different total molar concentrations (0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 mol dm-3), the pH values of which were systematically varied (pH 3.0 – 10.0). The Tafel slopes of the anodic polarization curves are close to 40 mV dec-1 at lower current densities (10-5 – 5x10-4 A cm-2), while at higher current densities (5x10-4 – 10-2 A cm-2) the slopes are in the range of 60 – 120 mV dec-1. The order of the anodic reaction determined from the anodic polarization curves at lower current densities are: z+ (H+) ~ –1/2 for pH < 8 and z+(H+) ~ 1 for pH > 8, while z+(H4Y) ~ 1 for all pH values of the examined EDTA solutions. On the basis of these results, two mechanisms of the zinc anodic dissolution reaction are proposed: at pH < 8 and at pH > 8. In both cases the relevant EDTA species directly participate as reactants in the anodic reaction. The dependences of the corrosion potential on pH and on total molar EDTA concentration indicate that the relevant EDTA species take part as reactants in both the cathodic (hydrogen evolution) and anodic (zinc dissolution) reactions of the zinc corrosion process.
 
Keywords: zinc, EDTA, anodic dissolution, kinetics, mechanisms.

Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Chemistry, University of Nis, Visegradska 33, 18000 Nis, Serbia and Montenegro
 

(Received 19 September, revised 26 November 2002)
A new kinetic method is described for the determination of ultramicro amounts of Cu(II) based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of trisodium-2-hydroxy-1-(4-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo)naphthalene-6,8-disulphonato (red artificial color PONCEAU 4R) by hydrogen peroxide in borate buffer (B.B.) The detection limit given by Perez-Bendito is 0.8 ng/cm3, but the detection limit that we experimentaly determined is 3.8 ng/cm3. The relative error ranges between 7.77 and 2.09 % for the concentration interval 3.8 to 50.1 ng/cm3. Kinetic equations are proposed for the investigated process. The effects of certain foreign ions upon the reaction rate were determined for an assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method was applied for the determination of Cu(II) ions in samples of alloy.
 
Keywords: kinetic method, copper(II) determination, PONCEAU 4R, samples of alloy.

Oil pollutants in alluvial sediments – influence of the intensity of contact with ground waters on the effect of microorganisms

(Received 4 October, revised 3 November 2002)
The influence of the intensity of interaction between oil pollutants and ground waters in alluvial sediments on the effect of microbial activity was investigated in this work. The study was based on a comparison of detailed analyses of two fractions of an oil pollutant originating from a Danube alluvial formation near the Pancevo Oil Refinery: fraction 1, separated from the aqueous layer by decantation, presumed to have been in less intensive interaction with water, and fraction 2, isolated from the aqueous emulsion by extraction with chloroform, presumed to have been in stronger interaction with water. Both fractions were shown to originate from the same type of oil pollutant. Nevertheless, significant compositional differences between the two fractions were observed. A significantly pronounced domination of even carbon number homologues of C18–C24 n-alkanes in fraction 2, atypical for crude oil pollutants, compared to the corresponding distribution observed in fraction 1, suggested a more intense activity, i.e., a much better effect of microorganisms in direct contact with the oil pollutant within the aqueous environment. The identification of even carbon number C14–C18 n-alcohols and C14–C18 fatty acids, as well as cholesterol, in fraction 2, suggested that microorganisms of the algal type in non-photosynthetic conditions were most probably responsible for the mentioned microbial processes.
 
Keywords: oil pollutants, alluvial ground waters, microbial activity, n-alkanes, n-alcohols, cholesterol, fatty acids.
