The inhibition of copper corrosion by 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-dithiol (bismuthiol), under 0.5 M HCl at 25 C, was studied by means of the potentiodynamic polarization technique. It was found that bismuthiol was chemically adsorbed on the copper surface, and follows a Langmuir isotherm. The inhibition mechanism was found…

Abstract In this study it is shown that the epoxide derivative of oleic acid, methyl 9,10‐epoxyoctadecanoate, is readily hydrolyzed to a diol when exposed to a commercial preparation of neutral alumina. Comparison of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of the diol with those of standards showed that the product was the threo iso…

The high‐temperature performance of a Nextel‐720 fiber/Al 2 O 3 composite in air and water vapor at 1100°C was investigated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermodynamic calculations. In the presence of water vapor, the formation of volatile Si(OH) 4 was responsible for the loss of mullite phase in th…

Yttrium silicate (Y 2 SiO 5 ) powders of high purity have been synthesized using the sol–gel method. Alkoxide precursors were used with commercial tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silica source and yttrium propoxide synthesized from YCl 3 . Powders calcined from the xerogel showed submicrometer crystal sizes. These pow…

The synthesis of crystalline y ‐Y 2 Si 2 O 7 has been achieved at a temperature as low as 365°C. This has been accomplished by following a hydrothermal method and using a layered clay as silicon source, whose structure‐directing character facilitates the nucleation process. The structural characterization of the y ‐Y…

Mechanisms in which fatty acids destabilize beer foam have been studied. Foam stability of a pilot-brewed beer was measured in the presence of a range of concentrations of fatty acids, similar to those found in a range of commercial beers. The foams were sparged with nitrogen and studied using a microconductivity tech…
