Reacting particles in open chaotic flows.

Published: December 2011

We study the collision probability p of particles advected by open flows with chaotic advection. We show that p scales with the particle size (or, alternatively, reaction distance) δ as a power law whose coefficient is determined by the fractal dimensions of the invariant sets defined by the advection dynamics. We also argue that this same scaling also holds for the reaction rate of active particles in the low-density regime. These analytical results are compared to numerical simulations, and they are found to agree very well.

Herein, a novel magnetic resorcinol-formaldehyde-supported isatin-Schiff-base/Fe complex (FeO@RF-ISB/Fe) is prepared and characterized and its catalytic performance is investigated in the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-]pyrimidines. The FeO@RF-ISB nanomaterial was prepared through the chemical immobilization of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane over the FeO@RF composite, followed by treatment with isatin. The FeO@RF-ISB was then reacted with FeCl·6HO to afford the FeO@RF-ISB/Fe nanocatalyst.

The Effect of Alumina-Rich Spinel Exsolution on the Mechanical Property of Calcium Aluminate Cement-Bonded Corundum Castables.

Materials (Basel)

Henan Key Laboratory of High Temperature Functional Ceramics, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China.

This study investigates the effect of the exsolution behavior of alumina-rich spinel on the formation and distribution of CA (CaAlO) in corundum castables bonded with calcium aluminate cement. In this study, alumina-rich spinel is substituted for tabular corundum in the same proportions and grain size. The matrices after curing were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

This study synthesizes a novel three-dimensional (3D) porous coordination polymer (CP), {[Co(L)₀.₅(H₂O)]·NMP·H₂O} (1), via a solvothermal method in a mixed solvent of water and NMP (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone), reacting Co(II) ions with H₄L (1,4-bis(5,6-carboxybenzimidazolylmethyl)benzene). The CP exhibits unique fluorescence properties, emitting at 420 nm under UV light excitation at 350 nm, and serves as a carrier for Mesalazine (MSZ) in therapeutic applications.

Chemical Transformation of Vaping Emissions under Indoor Atmospheric Aging Processes.

Chem Res Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Environmental Sciences, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, United States.

E-cigarette emissions, which contain a variety of hazardous compounds, contribute significantly to indoor air pollution and raise concerns about secondhand exposure to vaping byproducts. Compared to fresh vape emissions, our understanding of chemically aged products in indoor environments remains incomplete. Terpenes are commonly used as flavoring agents in e-liquids, which have the ability to react with the dominant indoor oxidant ozone (O) to produce reactive oxygenated byproducts and result in new particle formation.
