    Description / Table of Contents: Awareness that many key aspects of public health are strongly influenced by climate is growing dramatically, driven by new research and experience and fears of climate change and the research needed to underpin policy developments in area is growing rapidly . This awareness has yet to translate into a practical use of climate knowledge by health policy-makers. Evidence based policy and practice is the mantra of the health sector. If climate scientists are to contribute effectively to health policy at local and global scales then careful empirical studies must be undertaken – focused on the needs of the public health policy and decision-makers. Results presented at the Wengen conference make clear that the science and art of integrating climate knowledge into the control of climate sensitive diseases on a year to year time frame as well as careful assessments of the potential impacts of climate change on health outcomes over longer time frames is advancing rapidly on many fronts. This includes advances in the empirical understanding of mechanisms, methodologies for modeling future impacts, new partnership developments between the health and climate community along with access to relevant data resources, and education and training. In a rapidly evolving field this book provides a snapshot of these emerging themes.

    Description: The long-term warming of the ocean is a critical indicator of both the past and present state of the climate system. It also provides insights about the changes to come, owing to the persistence of both decadal variations and secular trends, which the ocean records extremely well (Hansen et al., 2011; IPCC, 2013; Rhein et al., 2013; Trenberth et al., 2016; Abram et al., 2019). It is well established that the emission of greenhouse gasses by human activities is mainly responsible for global warming since the industrial revolution (IPCC, 2013; Abram et al., 2019). The increased concentration of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has interfered with natural energy flows. Currently there is an energy imbalance in the Earth’s climate system of almost 1 W m−2 (Trenberth et al., 2014; von Schuckmann et al., 2016, 2020a; Wijffels et al., 2016; Johnson et al., 2018; Cheng et al., 2019a; von Schuckmann et al., 2020a). Over 90% of this excess heat is absorbed by the oceans, leading to an increase of ocean heat content (OHC) and sea level rise, mainly through thermal expansion and melting of ice over land. These processes provide a useful means to quantify climate change. The first global OHC time series by Levitus et al. (2000) identified a robust long-term 0−3000 m ocean warming from 1948−98. Since then, many other analyses of global and regional OHC data have been performed. Here, we provide the first analysis of recent ocean heating, incorporating 2020 measurements through 2020 into our analysis.

    Description: Integrating palaeoclimatological proxies and historical records, which is necessary to achieve a more complete understanding of climate impacts on past societies, is a challenging task, often leading to unsatisfactory and even contradictory conclusions. This has until recently been the case for Italy, the heart of the Roman Empire, during the transition between Antiquity and the Middle Ages. In this paper, we present new high-resolution speleothem data from the Apuan Alps (Central Italy). The data document a period of very wet conditions in the sixth c. AD, probably related to synoptic atmospheric conditions similar to a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation. For this century, there also exist a significant number of historical records of extreme hydroclimatic events, previously discarded as anecdotal. We show that this varied evidence reflects the increased frequency of floods and extreme rainfall events in Central and Northern Italy at the time. Moreover, we also show that these unusual hydroclimatic conditions overlapped with the increased presence of "water miracles" in Italian hagiographical accounts and social imagination. The miracles, performed by local Church leaders, strengthened the already growing authority of holy bishops and monks in Italian society during the crucial centuries that followed the "Fall of the Roman Empire". Thus, the combination of natural and historical data allows us to show the degree to which the impact of climate variability on historical societies is determined not by the nature of the climatic phenomena per se, but by the culture and the structure of the society that experienced it.

    Notes: Abstract The research reported here examines the relationship between risk perceptions and willingness to address climate change. The data are a national sample of 1225 mail surveys that include measures of risk perceptions and knowledge tied to climate change, support for voluntary and government actions to address the problem, general environmental beliefs, and demographic variables. Risk perceptions matter in predicting behavioral intentions. Risk perceptions are not a surrogate for general environmental beliefs, but have their own power to account for behavioral intentions. There are four secondary conclusions. First, behavioral intentions regarding climate change are complex and intriguing. People are neither “nonbelievers” who will take no initiatives themselves and oppose all government efforts, nor are they “believers” who promise both to make personal efforts and to vote for every government proposal that promises to address climate change. Second, there are separate demographic sources for voluntary actions compared with voting intentions. Third, recognizing the causes of global warming is a powerful predictor of behavioral intentions independent from believing that climate change will happen and have bad consequences. Finally, the success of the risk perception variables to account for behavioral intentions should encourage greater attention to risk perceptions as independent variables. Risk perceptions and knowledge, however, share the stage with general environmental beliefs and demographic characteristics. Although related, risk perceptions, knowledge, and general environmental beliefs are somewhat independent predictors of behavioral intentions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Maillard- oder Bräunungsreaktion genannten Umsetzungen zwischen reduzierenden Zuckern und Eiweiß führen zur chemischen Zerstörung der Aminosäuren und zum Verlust der Proteinqualität während der Lebensmittelbearbeitung und -lagerung. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt Befunde auf, daß die Maillardreaktion auch im Gewebe des Menschen bei der Alterung von Proteinen mit langer biologischer Halbwertszeit auftritt. Die Konzentrationen an den sogenannten Amadori-Produkten, die im Initialstadium der Maillardreaktion aus Glucose und den Proteinen der Augenlinse oder dem Kollagen der Haut entstehen, erwiesen sich als relativ konstant, auch mit zunehmendem Alter. Die Produkte der Glycosylierung und nachfolgenden Oxidation der Proteine, auch Glycoxidationsprodukte genannt, häufen sich dagegen im Alter an, und zwar bei Diabetikern in vermehrtem Maße. Zu diesen Produkten gehören die Aminosäurenderivate N-(carboxymethyl)-lysin (CML), N-(carboxymethyl)-hydroxylysin (CMhL) sowie das fluoreszierende Quervernetzungsprodukt Pentosidin. Während diese Glycoxidationsprodukte in den Körpergeweben nur in Spuren vorkommen, gibt es deutliche Hinweise auf die Anwesenheit weiterer Bräunungsprodukte, deren Charakterisierung jedoch noch aussteht. Es werden Möglichkeiten zur „Entgiftung“ der reaktiven Zwischenprodukte aus der Maillardreaktion sowie zum Abbau extrem gebräunter Proteine diskutiert sowie neuere Möglichkeiten zur therapeutischen Modulierung fortgeschrittener Stadien der Maillardreaktion aufgezeigt.
    Notes: Summary The Maillard or browning reaction between reducing sugars and protein contributes to the chemical deterioration and loss of nutritional value of proteins during food processing and storage. This article presents and discusses evidence that the Maillard reaction is also involved in the chemical aging of long-lived proteins in human tissues. While the concentration of the Amadori adduct of glucose to lens protein and skin collagen is relatively constant with age, products of sequential glycation and oxidation of protein, termed glycoxidation products, accumulate in these long-lived proteins with advancing age and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. Among these products are the chemically modified amino acids, Nɛ-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), Nɛ-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylysine (CMhL), and the fluorescent crosslink, pentosidine. While these glycoxidation products are present at only trace levels in tissue proteins, there is strong evidence for the presence of other browning products which remain to be characterized. Mechanisms for detoxifying reactive intermediates in the Maillard reaction and catabolism of extensively browned proteins are also discussed, along with recent approaches for therapeutic modulation of advanced stages of the Maillard reaction.

    Notes: Abstract Many researchers use outputs from large-scale global circulation models of the atmosphere to assess hydrological and other impacts associated with climate change. However, these models cannot capture all climate variations since the physical processes are imperfectly understood and are poorly represented at smaller regional scales. This paper statistically compares model outputs from the global circulation model of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory to historical data for the United States' Laurentian Great Lakes and for the Emba and Ural River basins in the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.). We use maximum entropy spectral analysis to compare model and data time series, allowing us to both assess statistical predictabilities and to describe the time series in both time and frequency domains. This comparison initiates assessments of the model's representation of the real world and suggests areas of model improvement.

    Notes: Abstract Thermolysis of tetranuclear palladium clusters Pd4(μ-Q)4 Pd4(μ-Q)4(μ-O2CR)4 (Q=CPh2 or CO;R=Me, CMe3, Ph, CH2Cl or CF3) has been found to involve innersphere oxidation of carbene or carbonyl ligands during which an oxygen atom transfer occurs from the carboxylate group to the carbene or carbonyl ligand. The thermolysis of the carbonyl clusters gives rise to the products of CO2 insertion into the C–H bond of benzene or toluene used as solvents forming benzoic acid from benzene and a mixture of phenylacetic and toluic acids from toluene. The reaction of [Pd(OAc)2(PPh3)]2 with HCO2H includes the transfer of an O atom from formate ligand to the P atom and cleavage of the P-Ph bond accompanied by transfer of the Ph group from PPh3 ligand to the palladium atom. The structure of the complex formed, [Pd(μ-O2PPh2)(C6H5)(PPh3)]2, has been resolved by X-ray analysis.

    Notes: Abstract The thermal oxidative stability of various ABS/PC compounds was studied by means of the chemiluminescence technique. Similarly to pure ABS, Irganox 1076 and Irganox MD 1024 perform as moderate antioxidants in ABS/PC and (ABS/PC + lubricant) blends. Neither Tinuvin 144, Irgaphos 168, nor their mixture affects the durability of the ABS/PC blend. At the same time, (Irgaphos 168 + Tinuvin 144) in combination with Irganoxes was found to provide a noticeable enhancement in durability to the (ABS/PC + lubricant) system. Titanium dioxide pigments by themselves have only a slight influence on the oxidative stability of the ABS/PC blend. Durability of the (ABS/PC + pigment) and (ABS/PC + lubricant) systems was found to be the same and the overall protective effect of Irganox 1076 was similar in both the (ABS/PC + lubricant) and the (ABS/PC + lubricant + pigment) systems. Certain modifiers significantly improve the durability of the ABS/PC compounds, although their function may differ in the systems with and without pigments.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of lubricants, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, and metal deactivators on the resistance of ABS to thermal oxidation was studied by means of the chemiluminescence technique. Neither of the additives seems to affect significantly the induction period of oxidation. At the same time, the influence of various additives on the oxidation rate constant is remarkably different: the introduction of lubricants and UV stabilizers increases its value, while antioxidants and metal deactivators have the opposite effect. For the particular systems studied durability is decreased in samples containing the lubricant and UV stabilizers and increased in samples stabilized with the antioxidant and metal deactivator.

    Notes: Abstract CO electrooxidation on a Pt–Ru/C catalyst was investigated in sulphuric acid electrolyte. The physico-chemical properties of the Pt–Ru/C catalyst were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The influence of temperature, CO partial pressure and proton concentration on the electrochemical oxidation rate was investigated by steady-state galvanostatic polarization measurements. The apparent activation energy decreased from 70 to 30kJmol−1 as the overpotential increased from 0.5 to 0.9V vs NHE. The reaction order with respect to carbon monoxide increased, passing from 0.4 to 1, with the increase of the overpotential from 0.5 to 0.7V vs NHE; a reaction order close to −1 with respect to the protonic concentration was observed, irrespective of the potential. Tafel slopes of about 136mVdec−1 were determined for oxidation of CO and CO/N2 mixtures.

    Notes: Abstract Doped tin dioxide electrodes have been prepared by a standard spray pyrolysis technique. The electrochemical behaviour of these electrodes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in sulphuric acid using the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple system as test reaction. Oxygen evolution has been used to study the stability of doped SnO2 electrodes. The SnO2 electrodes doped with antimony and platinum exhibit the highest stability. XPS analysis shows that the oxidation state of Sn, Sb and Pt are +4, +3 and +2, respectively, the probable species being SnO2, Sb2O3 and PtO.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we report the synthesis and the characterization of cyclo- and polyphosphazenes supporting Rose Bengal. These substrates are suitable for the photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen, both in homogeneous and in heterogeneous phase. The efficiency of1O2 production has been measured in homogeneous solution using, as photosensitizer, the cyclophosphazene-bound Rose Bengal and considering, as testing reaction, the oxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran; it was found comparable to that of free Rose Bengal in the same experimental conditions.

    Notes: Abstract 1-Acetyl-3-bromo-3-phenylazetidine (1), C11H12BrNO, has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray analysis. It crystallizes in the space group P2 1/c with a = 8.633(1), b = 7.461(1), c = 17.204(1) Å, β = 98.403(7)°, V = 1096.2(2) Å3, Z = 4, D calc = 1.540 g cm−3. The azetidine ring is nearly planar since the four atoms are within ±0.039(5) Å of the mean square plane calculated for the heterocycle. The attempt to obtain a highly strained 2-azetine derivative from the above compound gave, surprisingly, 1-phenyl-2-(N-acetyl-N-formyl)-aminoethanone (2), C11H11NO3. This compound has been also characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray analysis. It crystallizes in the space group P212121, with a = 5.4719(3), b = 8.3205(6), c = 23.298(3) Å, V = 1060.7(2) Å3, Z = 4, D calc = 1.286 g cm−3. The aminoethanone residue is in a near planar conformation where the torsion angles are 7(2)° for N–C–C–=O and −173(2)° for N–C–C–C(Ph).

    Notes: Abstract Two kinds of cobalt(II)phthalocyanines covalently bound to polyorganosiloxane (POS) were prepared to be applied as catalysts for the oxidation of 3-methylindole in organic solvents. The catalytic activity of the POS whose carboxyl residues were methyl-esterified was high compared with that of the POS which has carboxyl residues. The former polymeric atalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than monomolecular phthalocyanine, indicating an appearance of effects of polymer chains. The factors which influence the catalytic oxidation, e.g., polymer conformations, basicity of solvents, and equilibrium involving phthalocyanine monomer and the dimer, are discussed. It has become apparent that polymer conformation influences catalytic activity and that the catalytic activity of the POS, whose main chains are mobile, is high.

    Notes: Abstract The thermal oxidative stability of various formulations based on emulsion-grade ABS was studied by the chemiluminescence technique. Emulsion products were found to be essentially less stable than ionic mass polymerization resins. Among the antioxidants studied, Santonox R is clearly more efficient than Irganox 1076 and Irganox 3114, and its superiority is reflected primarily in improved induction period values. The introduction of Tinuvin 770 and Tinuvin 328 UV stabilizers into emulsion resins does not change the durability of the products. In mixtures where both Irganox 1076 and UV stabilizers are present, a certain antagonistic effect was noted at high UV stabilizer concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract The rates of oxidation of Cu(I) in air saturated solutions was measured as a function of pH, temperature (5–45°C), and ionic strength (0.5 to 6m) in NaCl and NaCl−NaClO4 solutions. In pure NaCl solutions, the effect of pH is independent of ionic strength and temperature. The overall rate constant is given by logk=12.32+0.12(pH)−2064/T−3.69I1/2+ 0.73I The energy of activitation was 39±2 kJ-mol−1 and is independent of ionic strength. At a constant ionic strength (I=1, 3 and 6m) in NaCl−NaClO4 mixtures the Cl− dependence of the rates is attributed to the oxidation of the various forms of Cu(I) in the solution. The rate constants for the oxidation of the various species are found to be functions of ionic strength. At a constant ionic strength (I=1) in NaCl−NaClO4 solutions, the effect of temperature is independent of the chloride concentration. The effect of Mg2+ and HCO 3 − on the oxidation rate was determined as a function of chloride concentration (1 to 6m) at 25°C and pH=8. The addition of Mg2+ causes the rate to decrease and the addition of HCO 3 − causes the rate to increase. The possible causes of these effects are discussed. Empirical equations for the rate of oxidation of Cu(I) in Na-Mg-Cl-HCO3 solutions as a function of composition are used to make reliable estimates of the oxidation in seawater and Red Sea waters.

    Notes: Abstract The rates of oxidation of Fe(II) in NaCl and NaClO 4 solutions were studied as a function of pH (6 to 9), temperature (5 to 25°C), and ionic strength (0 to 6m). The rates are second order with respect to [H+] or [OH−] and independent of ionic strength and temperature. The overall rate of the oxidation is given by $$d[Fe(II)]/dt = - k[Fe(II)][OH^ - ]^2 [O_2 ]$$ where [OH−]=K W * /[H+](K W * is the stoichiometric dissociation constant for water) and [O 2 ] is the molal concentration of the oxygen. The experimental results were fitted to equations of the form $$log{\text{ }}k = log{\text{ }}k_0 + {\rm A}\sqrt {\rm I} + {\rm A}\sqrt {\rm I} /T + CI$$ where log k0=21.56−1545/T, A=0.470, B=−646, and C=0.723 (σ=0.07) for NaCl; A=−1.638, B=0, and C=0.836 (σ=0.11) for NaClO 4 . The lower results in NaCl at higher ionic strengths are attributed to the formation of FeCl+ that has a slower rate of oxidation. The kinetic results giveβ FeCl = 1.2 ± 0.5, which is in reasonable agreement with literature data. Measurements of the effect of various ions on the rates were studied at constant ionic strength. The results were in the order HCO 3 − 〉Br−〉ClO 4 − 〉Cl−〉NO 3 − 〉SO 4 2− 〉B(OH) 4 − and were attributed to the relative strength of the interactions of Fe 2+ with these anions. The strong interactions of Fe 2+ with SO 4 2− and B(OH) 4 − were used to estimate the stability constants, logβ FeSO 4 = 1.8 ± 0.1 and logβ FeB(OH) 4 = 3.2 ± 0.1, which are in reasonable agreement with literature data.

The rate constants, k (M−1-sec−1), d[Fe(II)]/DT=-k[Fe(II)][2O2] at pH=6.5 have been fitted to equations of the form log k = log k0+ AI 1/2+BI+CI 1/2/T Where log k0=15.53-3425/T in water; A=−2.3, −1.35; B=0.334, 0.180; and C=391, 235, respectively, for NaCl (σ=0.09) and NaClO4 (σ =0.08). Measurements made in NaCl solutions with added anions yield rates in the order B(OH) 4 − 〉HCO 3 − 〉ClO 4 − 〉Cl−〉NO 3 − 〉SO 4 2− and are attributed to the relative strength of the interactions of Fe2+ or FeOH+ with these anions. The FeB(OH) 4 + species is more reactive while the FeCO 3 0 , FeCl+, FeNO 3 + and FeSO 4 0 species are less reactive than the FeOH+ ion pair. The general trend is similar to our earlier studies of the oxidation of Fe(II) with O2 except for B(OH) 4 − . The effect of pH on the logk was found to be a quadratic function of the concentration of H+ or OH− from pH=4 to 8. These results have been attributed to the different rate constants for Fe2+ (k0) and FeOH+ (k1) which are related to the measured k by, k=k0αFe + k1αFeOH, where αi is the molar fraction of species i. The rates increase due to the greater reactivity of FeOH+ compared to Fe2+. k0 is independent of composition and ionic strength but k1 is a function of ionic strength and composition due to the interactions of FeOH+ with various anions.

    Notes: Abstract A styrene/divinylbenzene copolymer has been used as precursor for making porous carbons with bimodal pore size distributions (i.e., with both microporosity and mesoporosity). Pretreatment of the as-received copolymer by mild oxidation in air, significantly increased the carbon yield after carbonization. Reactivity studies of the polymer-based chars to CO2 clearly show the influences of some important factors such as carbonization temperature, heating rate, soak time on char reactivities. Bimodal porous carbons were prepared by carbonization of the preoxidized styrene/divinylbenzene copolymer in N2, followed by activation in CO2 at different temperatures to different levels of burnoff. The pore structures of the porous carbons produced have been characterized by various techniques such as gas adsorption and mercury porosimetry. The surfaces of the porous carbons produced, and a commercial carbon adsorbent, have been modified with HNO3 and H2O2 treatment at various conditions. Characterization of the surface oxygen functionality, both quantitatively and qualitatively, has been achieved using techniques such as Linear Temperature Programed Desorption (LTPD) and selective neutralization of bases.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of carbonado type synthesized polycrystalline diamonds produced from graphite together with catalytic Ni-Mo alloy doped with TiB2 and BNcub was investigated. It was found that the addition of these boron compounds increases the oxidation resistance of the carbonado type synthesized polycrystalline diamonds. The oxidation mechanism acting on the carbonado type synthesized polycrystalline diamonds and the role of boron compounds in increasing the resistance to the oxygen reaction are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of some cyclic and branched chain olefins over a silver catalyst effective for the conversion of ethylene to ethylene oxide has been investigated in a steady state flow system. The reaction of cyclohexene produces benzene and that of both 1-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexene yields toluene. The selectivity to aromatics exceeds 20% for fractional conversions below 0.2, but it can be improved to almost 50% by inclusion of an optimum quantity of dichloroethane in the feed. Styrene is oxidised more slowly than the cyclohexenes and only carbon dioxide and water are produced. The oxidation of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene and 3-methyl-1-butene occurs much faster than that of the cyclic molecules and some of the corresponding epoxides are produced. The selectivity with the dimethyl-butene is 9–13% for conversions to 0.2. The methylbutene requires a higher temperature for reaction and the epoxide yield is lower. Factors influencing reactivity and product distribution are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Recovery of metal values from sulfide ores by use of acidophilic microorganisms is gaining importance. A number of commercial/pilot plants are setup to find out the techno-economic feasibility of the overall process. The main drawback in the process is the slow kinetics of dissolution of metal values from the sulfide ores. To make the technology e attractive the kinetics should be improved considerably. There are various factors which determine the overall kinetics such as bacterial activity and concentration, iron and sulfur oxidation, oxygen consumption, reactor design and nature of ore. A brief review has been made dealing with the above parameters

    Notes: Abstract A series of V2O5/TiO2/SiO2 catalysts were structurally investigated byin situ Raman spectroscopy and chemically probed by methanol oxidation in order to determine the molecular structure-reactivity relationships of the V2O5/TiO2/SiO2 catalysts. Only surface TiO x species are present on the 3% TiO2/SiO2 catalysts, and the surface TiO x species as well as bulk TiO2 (anatase) particles coexist on the 40% TiO2/SiO2 catalyst. The deposition of 1–3% vanadium oxide onto 3% TiO2/SiO2 and 4% vanadium oxide onto 40% TiO2/SiO2 forms only a surface vanadium oxide phase.In situ Raman studies reveal that the surface vanadium oxide species preferentially exist on the titania sites of the TiO2/SiO2 system. The interaction between the surface vanadia and the surface titania overlayer on SiO2 increases the methanol oxidation reactivity by two orders of magnitude relative to V2O5/SiO2. In the presence of bulk TiO2 (anatase) particles on the SiO7 support, the reactivity of the surface vanadia further increases by an order magnitude relative to the catalysts containing only surface titania, and is close to that of surface vanadia on bulk TiO2. This suggests that the surface VO x -TiO2 (bulk) interactions results in a more active site than the surface VO x -TiO x -SiO2 interactions. In addition, the V2O5/TiO2/SiO2 catalysts exhibit high selectivity towards HCHO because redox sites are predominant on the surface of these catalysts with essentially no acid site present.

    Notes: Abstract High yield synthesis of propanal from methane and air can be obtained in a single pass at atmospheric pressure. Three catalytic processes are combined to give 13% yield of propanal based on total methane input. Ethene is made from the oxidative coupling reaction and carbon monoxide and hydrogen is generated from partial oxygenation of methane. These gases are combined and passed to a hydroformylation catalyst to give liquid propanal. The unreacted methane is inert in the hydroformylation stage, while oxygen deactivates the catalyst readily. The results imply that propanal can be obtained, in good yield, from methane and air provided that total oxygen conversion is achieved. The yield of propanal from the three combined processes can be substantially higher than that of ethene from the oxidative coupling reaction. Thus, higher yields of a condensible and oxygenated product are obtained.

Scanning electron microscopy showed that the reacted sample consisted mainly of aggregates of small iron particles.

Higher concentrations of H2O2 lead to further oxidation of hydroxylamine to nitrone. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows the formation of a titanium peroxo complex upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to the TS-1 catalyst. The titanium peroxo complex oxidizes the substrate and reforms to a titanyl group.

This work shows that methane interacts very weakly and oxygen very strongly with the catalyst surface and it is concluded that the initial activation of methane involves an adsorbed oxygen species. Methyl radicals formed in the first step subsequently extract lattice oxygen to yield formaldehyde.

    Notes: Abstract In water, metallic palladium was found to catalyze the deep oxidation of a wide variety of functional organics by dioxygen at 80–90°C in the presence of carbon monoxide. Several classes of organic compounds were examined: benzene, phenol and substituted phenols, aliphatic and aromatic halogenated compounds, organophosphorus, and organosulfur compounds. In every case, deep oxidation to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water occurred in high yields, resulting in up to several hundred turnovers over a 24 h period. Since the heterogeneous catalyst can be removed by simple filtration, simultaneous water purification and contaminant destruction becomes feasible. For those substrates that are insoluble in pure water, a mixture of water and perfluorobutyric acid was successfully employed as the solvent.

The samples were quenched quickly in the reaction chamber to room temperature in flowing Ar and then transferred in vacuo for XPS analysis. Structure sensitivity was manifest from an increase in PdO stability and a decrease in carbon deposition relative to Pd with increasing particle size. The results were compared with recent ellipsometric data.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of propane has been investigated in the presence and absence of tetrachloromethane (TCM) on calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAp), Ca3(PO4)2, CaSO4 and CaO at 723 K. In the absence of TCM, the conversion of C3H8 on CaHAp was 7.7–9.2% during 6 h on-stream while that on Ca3(PO4)2, CaSO4 and CaO was 0.6, 0 and 0.2–0.4%, respectively. The principal products on all catalysts in the absence of TCM were CO and CO2 with small selectivities to C3H6 and C2H4 (both 5–6%) observed on CaHAp. Upon addition of TCM, the selectivity to C3H6 on all catalysts and the conversion of C3H8 on CaSO4 increased while, with increasing time-on-stream, the changes in the conversion and selectivity were dependent upon the nature of the catalysts. XPS and XRD analyses provide evidence for the presence of chlorine in the surface and/or bulk of three of the catalysts, suggesting that chlorinated species on the solids play a role in the selectivity enhancement, but the absence of chlorine from the sulphate demonstrates the dissimilarities of the catalysts in their abilities to sorb and decompose TCM.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of methane has been investigated on lead hydroxyapatite (PbHAp), strontium hydroxyapatite (SrHAp) and their binary mixtures at 873 K. PbHAp showed no activity for the oxidation of methane, while SrHAp produced carbon monoxide selectively at 2–4% conversion. On binary mixtures of the hydroxyapatites the conversion of methane and the selectivity to C2 compounds reached values higher than those of the separate constituents of the mixture. With tetrachloromethane in the feed stream a similar synergistic effect was observed with conversions of methane and selectivities to CH3Cl higher on the binary mixtures than those on either SrHAp or PbHAp. The strontium-containing hydroxyapatite appears to play a crucial role in the activation of methane, while the presence of the lead-containing analogue is apparently required for the minimization of undesirable processes involving methyl radicals.

    Notes: Abstract The continuous oxidation of norbornene (C7H10) by molecular oxygen over a silver catalyst at 500–573 K has been investigated. In contrast to that observed during the temperature programmed reaction of norbornene and oxygen adsorbed on Ag(110) no norbornene epoxide is formed. Instead benzene is the sole partial oxidation product. A stable selectivity of 20 to 25% with fractional conversions up to 0.8 at 573 K could be obtained by inclusion of 15 to 30 ppm dichloroethane in the feed. Separate experiments withexo-norbornene epoxide showed that in the absence of oxygen it was almost completely isomerised to 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxyaldehyde with production of lesser amounts of norcamphor and norbornene. With oxygen present carbon dioxide and small amounts of benzene were also produced. It is concluded that norbornene epoxide cannot be a gas phase intermediate in the production of benzene from norbornene.

Although both materials have similar Si/(Si + Al + P) ratios, the content of Brønsted acid sites in SAPO-18 is considerably less than that in SAPO-34. As catalysts for methanol conversion to light olefins, SAPO-18 and SAPO-34 have closely similar initial activity and selectivity, but the lifetime of SAPO-18 is distinctly superior to that of SAPO-34.

    Notes: Abstract Because of the decreased profitability of making synthetic fuels, Sasol intends expanding its production of the higher valued chemicals, in particular waxes and olefins. The advantages and disadvantages of using Fe, Co and Ru catalysts are discussed from the point of view of costs, availability, product selectivity, activity and sensitivity to poisons. The loss of activity and selectivity of iron based catalysts in both fixed and fluidized bed reactors is discussed. The main contributing factors are sulfur poisoning, oxidation and coke fouling. In fixed bed reactors sulfur poisoning and “coke” laydown deactivates the front end of the bed while hydrothermal sintering/oxidation deactivates the back end. In fluidized beds the deposition of large amounts of Boudouard carbon doesnot markedly lower the activity. The smaller catalyst particles end up consisting of small iron carbide entities embedded in a matrix of carbon. The larger catalyst particles consist of cores of inert magnetite surrounded by the carbide/carbon matrix. FT reactor development at Sasol is briefly reviewed.

    Notes: Abstract Pd–chloride precursor salt was used to prepare Pd/Al2O3 catalysts. TPSR measurements showed three distinct reactions for the oxidation of propane on palladium surface under excess of hydrocarbon: complete oxidation, steam reforming and propane hydrogenolysis. Propane oxidation on palladium catalysts was related to the Pd2+ sites observed on Pd/Al2O3 through infrared of adsorbed carbon monoxide. In fresh catalysts reduced by H2, the IR spectra showed the linear and bridge adsorbed CO species on the Pd0 surface. After propane reaction, a new band at 2130 cm-1 related to CO adsorption on Pd2+ species was noted. Carbon monoxide species adsorbed on Pd0 were also observed in all samples after reaction. Our results suggest surface ratios of Pd0/PdO during the propane oxidation. On the other hand, time on stream conversions of the complete oxidation of propane were affected by either the water generated during the reaction or added as a reactant at 10 vol%. The water generated by the reaction helped to eliminate chlorine residues in the form of oxychloride species leading to an increasing of the activity. However, the presence of water into the reaction mixture caused a strong decreasing of the activity. The inhibition mechanism of propane oxidation in the presence of water consisted in the dissociative adsorption of water on palladium sites with the possible formation of palladium hydroxide (Pd–OH) at the surface, diminishing the number of active surface sites. Dynamic fluctuations into the reaction conditions supported the idea that a pseudo‐equilibrium adsorption–desorption of water was reached. After water removal or increasing in the reaction temperature the equilibrium was shifted to the direction of OH–Pd decomposition. This behavior suggests that the inhibitory effect of water is a reversible phenomenon, being a function of the amount of water and the reaction temperature.

    Notes: Abstract Various cellulose samples were oxidized by 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpipelidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-NaBr-NaClO systems, and the effects of oxidation conditions on chemical structures and degrees of polymerization of the products obtained were studied. In the case of regenerated and mercerized celluloses, almost all C6 primary alcohol groups were selectively oxidized to carboxyl groups, and water-soluble polyglucuronic acid (cellouronic acid) sodium salts were obtained almost quantitatively; the degrees of polymerization were influenced greatly by the amount of TEMPO added, and the oxidation time and temperatures. Cellouronic acids prepared from mercerized linter and kraft pulps had size exclusion chromatograms with two separate peaks due to higher and lower molecular weight fractions. On the other hand, only small amounts of carboxyl groups were introduced into native cellulose samples. Since polyglucuronic acids prepared from cellulose by the TEMPO–NaBr– NaClO systems regularly consist of the glucuronic acid repeating unit, differing from the conventional water-soluble cellulose derivatives, they may open new fields of cellulose utilization.

    Notes: Abstract Atom-planting, a useful method to prepare some metallosilicates having zeolitic structure, was proposed. By treatment of highly siliceous zeolite with metal chloride vapor at selected temperature, metal cation could be introduced into the defect sites (hydroxyl nests) of zeolite framework. By the atom-planting method, some metallosilicates which are difficult to be synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis could be prepared. The vapor phase shape-selective alkylation of ethylbenzene with ethanol, and the liquid phase selective oxidation with hydrogen peroxide on the metallosilicates prepared by atom-planting method were reviewed.

    Notes: Abstract Conversion of methane in high yields to C4+ nonaromatic hydrocarbons was demonstrated in a recycle system. The principal components of the recycle system included an oxidative coupling reactor with a Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst at 800°C for conversion of methane to ethylene, and a reactor with an H-ZSM-5 zeolite at 275°C for subsequent conversion of ethylene to higher hydrocarbons. Total yields of C4+ products were in the range of 60–80%, and yields of C4+ nonaromatic hydrocarbons were in the range of 50–60%.

    Notes: Abstract Benzylacetate synthesis from toluene, acetic acid and oxygen on Pd–Bi binary catalyst was studied in the liquid phase. By incorporation of Bi with Pd, both the activity and selectivity were improved. Especially better stability was obtained with the catalyst having Pd/Bi = 3. Deactivation of the catalyst was investigated in detail by XRD, XPS, TEM, elemental analysis, EPMA and so on. Comparing the used catalyst with the fresh one, it was indicated that the main cause of deactivation was the dissolution of Pd into the reaction mixture from the most outer surface of the catalyst. By adopting proper reaction conditions to prevent the Pd dissolution, the catalyst having Pd/Bi = 3 was suggested to be used as an industrial catalyst.

    Notes: Abstract The dissociative chemisorption of nitric oxide at Cu(110) has been shown to result in rapid ordering of oxygen adatoms as (2×1)O chains oriented along the 〈100〉 direction while the associated nitrogen adatoms are mainly disordered at 295 K. Surface diffusion of the N adatoms, following bond cleavage, is activated and ordering of the (2×3)N strings occurs on heating to 430 K. A number of distinct reaction pathways have been isolated during the oxidation of ammonia resulting in the formation of either chemisorbed imide or nitrogen adatoms. The latter depending on temperature, may exhibit a (2×3)N, a (3×3)N or both structures may exist simultaneously. The concentration of nitrogen in the complete (2×3)N structure has been determined to be 6.6×1014 cm-2, with only a 25% decrease in nitrogen concentration leading to the transformation to the (3×3)N structure. The oxygen atoms at a Cu(110)–O overlayer, and present at the ends of the (2×1) strings terminating in steps, show specific reactivity when exposed to ammonia at 375 K resulting in the “decoration” of the steps with imide species while the oxygens within the (2×1) strings remain unreactive.

    Notes: Abstract This paper attempts to review recent works on catalysis of porous heteropoly compounds. The salts of heteropolyacids having Keggin structure with large cations like Cs+ are porous materials. For Cs hydrogen salts, the pore width can be controlled by the Cs content. Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 has the largest amount of protons on the surface among the acidic Cs salts and possesses pores with bimodal distribution in the micro and meso region. Efficient performances were demonstrated for acid-catalyzed reactions such as skeletal isomerization of η-butane in solid-gas system, alkylation and acylation in solid-liquid system, and hydrolysis and hydration in solid-water system. A microporous salt, Cs2.2H0.8PW12O40, exhibited reactant shape selectivity towards direct decomposition of esters. Furthermore, an ultramicroporous bifunctional catalyst, Pt–Cs2.1H0.9PW12O40 of which the pore width is around 5 Å, exhibits reactant shape selectivity for hydrogenation of alkenes and oxidation of hydrocarbons, and product shape selectivity for skeletal isomerization of η-butane.

    Notes: Abstract The oxygenase mimicking activity of copper acetate dimers in the regioselective ortho-hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-dopa is enhanced on encapsulation in zeolite Y. The structure and magnetic properties of the catalytic active site were characterized by EPR spectroscopy. The spectra of this “zeozyme” reveal the presence of (1) copper acetate dimers in the supercages and (2) isolated Cu(II) ions in the sodalite cages of the zeolite. There are significant differences in the EPR spectra of the “neat” and encapsulated complexes: on encapsulation in zeolite, the Cu–Cu exchange coupling constant, −, increases to 310 from 259 cm−1 for the “neat” complex (i.e., by about 19.7%). Simultaneously the Cu–Cu separation in the dimer, estimated indirectly from the exchange coupling constant, shortens to 2.40 Å in the encapsulated state from 2.64 Å in the “neat” complex. There is, hence, a relatively greater overlap of the metal orbitals of the dimer copper atoms inside the restricted confines of the zeolite cages. The consequent, enhanced, trans axial lability of the phenolate and dioxygen ligands promotes the catalytic oxygenase activity of copper acetate dimers on encapsulation in zeolites. A causal relationship between changes in the structural features of an active site on encapsulation in the zeolite and the corresponding catalytic activity has, thus, been established.

    Notes: Abstract Ground surface temperature histories (GSTHs) inferred from borehole temperaturedepth (T-z) data are often degraded, to a various extent, by random or systematic noise in theT-z data and in the measurements of thermophysical properties of the earth. To minimize the effects of noise, and hence improve the fidelity of the inferred GSTH, a plausible approach is to perform a simultaneous inversion, of theT-z logs in a region, or alternatively, to invert the individualT-z logs and then average the resulting GSTHs. Averaging and simultaneous inversion are conceptually different: whereas an averaging can always be peformed, a simultaneous inversion is predicated on the assumption of a common transient component of the GSTH in all theT-z logs. In this work we examine and compare the two approaches, using a time domain inverse formulation based on the method of least squares. We consider a set of scenarios: (a) multipleT-z logs from a single borehole, (b) multiple boreholes from a single site, (c) multiple boreholes in similar climatological settings, and (d) multiple boreholes in different climatological settings. We show that for (a), (b) and (c), averaging and simultaneous inversion yield nearly identical results. For boreholes in different settings, the assumption of a common transient GSTH may be invalid and averaging and simultaneous inversion give divergent results.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidative dehydrogenation of butane over a series of orthovanadates of cations of different reduction potentials showed a correlation that the selectivity for dehydrogenation decreased with increasing ease of reduction of the cation. The highest selectivity was observed on Mg orthovanadate. Mg pyrovanadate was nonselective for butane oxidation, but was as selective as Mg orthovanadate in propane oxidation. These results were interpreted by the different structures of the two Mg vanadates.

No reaction occurred when O3 was absent indicating that the partial oxidation was sensitized (initiated) by the oxygen atoms formed by the decomposition of ozone.

    Notes: Abstract Earlier studies have shown that sulfur dioxide and metal-support interaction can strongly influence propane oxidation over platinum. In particular, oxidation activity is enhanced when platinum is supported on sulfated γ-alumina or zirconia compared to γ-alumina. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the performance of palladium under the same experimental conditions. Four model catalysts were examined: Pt/γ-alumina, Pt/zirconia, Pd/γ-alumina and Pd/zirconia. The metal loading was kept at or below 0.05 wt% to emphasize changes in activity attributable to metal-support interaction. Reaction rates were measured with and without sulfur dioxide. Surface sulfation was analyzed by measuring acid strength and evaluating spectra obtained by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In contrast to platinum, sulfation does not promote propane oxidation on Pd/γ-alumina, and Pd/zirconia is less active than Pd/γ-alumina.

    Notes: Abstract The selective oxidation of aqueous ethanol by dioxygen over a platinum on carbon catalyst was investigated in a three-phase continuously stirred tank reactor at a total pressure of 600 kPa, a temperature of 323 K, a pH of 8.4, and a catalyst concentration of 2.3 kg m−3. Multiple steady-states were obtained by systematic changes in the start-up procedure and variation of the feed concentration of ethanol and partial oxygen pressure in the reactor. The ethanol feed concentration was varied from 100 to 2500 mol m−3 and the partial oxygen pressure from 8 to 120 kPa. On the time scale of the experiments, i.e. 21 ks, two steady-states of the net disappearance rate of ethanol are observed in the ethanol feed concentration range from 500 to 2500 mol m−3 at a partial oxygen pressure of 58 kPa and in the range of partial pressure of oxygen from 8 to 120 kPa at an ethanol feed concentration of 500 mol m−3. Three steady-states are observed in the feed ethanol concentration range from 200 to 400 mol m−3 and a partial oxygen pressure of 58 kPa.

In all cases the oxidation occurred in the first step exclusively on either one substituent or the other, but never on both simultaneously. In the presence of a zeolite, photooxidation conversion was higher than that obtained without zeolite.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of water on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts has been studied. The deactivation of supported Co catalysts was studied in a fixed-bed reactor using synthesis gas feeds containing different concentrations of water vapour. Supporting model studies were carried out using H2O/H2 feeds in conjunction with XPS and gravimetry. Rapid deactivation occurs on Re-promoted CO/Al2O3 catalysts when H2/CO/H2O feeds are used, whereas unpromoted CO/Al2O3 shows more stable activity. The results from the gravimetric studies suggest that only a small fraction of the bulk cobalt metal initially present reoxidizes to cobalt oxide during reaction. However, the XPS results indicate significant reoxidation of surface cobalt atoms or highly dispersed cobalt phases, which is likely to be the cause of the observed deactivation. Rhenium is shown to have a marked effect on the extent of reoxidation of alumina-supported cobalt catalysts.

    Notes: Abstract Catalysts of the composition La1−xSrxFeO3−δ, 0⩽x ⩽1, have been tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane in the temperature range 300–800°C. The catalyst is active above 400°C, giving a maximum yield of 37% ethylene at 650°C. Above 650°C, synthesis gas was formed together with methane, suggesting that the reforming reaction and thermal cracking of ethane took place. The catalytic data are compared to conductivity measurements on the same material, and a good correlation between the activity and p-type conductivity has been found. In the phase diagram for the system LaFeO3-SrFeO3−δ, a phase separation to two types of (La, Sr)FeO3−δ perovskites was observed in the La/Sr binary composition in the temperature range below 800°C. The phase separation can elucidate the dependency of the catalytic activity on its p-type conductivity.

    Notes: Abstract The introduction of tetrachloromethane (TCM) into the feedstream of CO and O2 inhibits the formation of CO2 on hydroxyapatite. TCM interacts with the surface of hydroxyapatite to form its chlorinated analogue, chlorapatite, which suppresses the oxidation of CO to CO2. Thus, in the oxidative coupling of methane the beneficial effects of the addition of TCM to the feedstream result, at least in part, from the suppression of the further oxidation of CO.

    Notes: Abstract Oxidation of Cl-modified Ag(111) under UHV conditions was investigated using AES, ISS and HREELS. The results showed that Cl-modified Ag(111) can be easily oxidized at 550 K by 1 × 10−6 mbar oxygen which was also heated to 550 K. With HREELS two fundamental vibrations at 600 and 1000 cm−1 were detected for silver oxide and the multiple losses and combination excitations as well. Ethylene adsorption on the oxide was analyzed by HREELS. Surface hydroxyl species was formed at 230 K and stable to above 300 K, which is attributed to silver oxide. Ethylidyne was suggested to form concurrently with hydroxyl species.

Therefore, pyrene oxidation can be used to specify the mechanism of coke oxidation. Three types of reactions can be distinguished: (a) condensation of polyaromatic molecules, (b) oxidation of polyaromatics into aldehydes, ketones, acids and anhydrides and (c) decarbonylation or decarboxylation of oxygenated compounds, all these reactions involving protonic sites.

The catalyst deactivation during platinum‐catalysed cyclohexanol oxidation is caused by platinum surface oxide formation. The detected Pt–O co‐ordination at 2.10 Å during exposure to nitrogen‐saturated cyclohexanol solution is different from what is observed for the pure oxidised platinum surface (2.06 Å).

    Notes: Abstract Using a combination of STM and molecular beam reactor data we summarise some important features of a model reaction (formic acid oxidation on Cu(110)) which is of general significance to surface reactivity and to catalysis. Three such features are highlighted here. The first concerns the role of weakly held species (possibly physisorbed) in surface reactions. These species, although of very short lifetime on the surface, can, nevertheless, diffuse over long distances to “find” a sparse distribution of active sites. Thus a very low coverage of oxygen on the surface of Cu(110) increases the sticking probability of all the formic acid molecules which strike the surface to high value (0.82), even though the clean surface is relatively unreactive. The important concept here is the “diffusion circle” or “collection zone” which represents the area of surface visited by the molecule in its short sojourn in the weakly held state. The second theme concerns the concept of the “flexible surface”. We show that the involvement of surface atoms in reactions directs the structure and reactivity for a particular reaction. For formic acid oxidation the liberation of Cu atoms during the removal of oxygen as water leads to gross restructuring of the surface and can lead to “compression” of one reactant (the oxygen in this case) into a lower area, higher local coverage, unreactive state (the c(6×2) oxygen structure). Thirdly, and finally, it is proposed that, for many surface reactions, the surface acts in an analogous way to a solvent, supporting a “dissolved” (highly mobile and fluxional) phase of intermediates at low coverage, which crystallise out above a critical coverage (the 2D “solubility limit”).

    Notes: Abstract A series of zirconia-supported molybdenum oxide catalysts with different molybdenum loadings prepared using conditions reported to generate “superacidity” have been evaluated for their performance as catalysts for methane oxidation. A marked dependence of Mo content on activity has been observed, with the most active material being that with intermediate molybdenum content. 5 wt% MoO3/ZrO2 compares favourably with ZrxCe1-xO2 for methane combustion. The presence of MoO3 is observed to stabilise the tetragonal polymorph of ZrO2 and, as Mo content is increased, dispersed MoO3 crystallites are formed as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. Temperature-programmed reduction studies evidence differences in the reduction behaviour of the materials as a function of loading. The results indicate that molybdenum oxide supported on monoclinic zirconia gives rise to the most active catalyst. It is tentatively suggested that the formation of a MoO3 monolayer during reaction may be of importance.

    Notes: Abstract Partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas has been carried out over a number of transition metal catalysts under a range of conditions. It is found that the metals Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt, either supported on alumina or present in mixed metal oxide precursors, will bring the system to equilibrium. The yield of CO and H2 improves with increasing temperature in the range 650–1050 K, and decreases with increasing pressure between 1 and 20 atm. An excellent yield (∼92%) is obtained with a 4∶2∶1 N2∶CH4∶O2 ratio at 1050 K and atmospheric pressure, with a space velocity of 4×104 hour−1.

    Notes: Abstract The behavior of a AgNO3/Ag2O/Ag “sandwich” upon heating in vacuum was studied by in situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The AgNO3/Ag2O/Ag “sandwich” was prepared by exposure of a silver foil to a NO : O2 mixture. The upper layer of the “sandwich” consists of AgNO3 crystals of a mean size between 0.1 and 0.4 μm. Heating at 550 K in vacuum results in melting of the AgNO3 crystals. A liquid film of AgNO3, readily wetting the silver, covers the surface. Cooling below the melting point of AgNO3 leads to the agglomeration of silver nitrate to long islands with a size reaching a few tens of micrometers (μm). The possible effects of AgNO3 liquid‐phase formation on surface processes are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of perchloroethylene (PCE) was investigated over chromium oxide catalysts supported on TiO2, Al2O3, SiO2, SiO2–Al2O3 and activated carbon. The phase of chromium oxide on the catalyst surface is critical for the oxidation of PCE. The catalytic activity of PCE removal enhances as the formation of Cr(VI) species on the catalyst surface increases. The surface area and the type of the catalyst supports were also essential for high performance in the PCE oxidation. In addition, the structure of Cr(VI) on the catalyst surface also plays an important role for the decomposition of PCE. The polymerized Cr(VI) mainly formed by the interaction of metals with the support is the active reaction site for the present reaction system. CrOx/TiO2 reveals the strongest PCE removal activity among the catalysts examined in the present study.

    Notes: Abstract Over current Pt-Rh/CeO2-Al2O3 catalysts, the conversion of alkanes occurs by two principal mechanisms: direct oxidation (HC + O2) and steam reforming (HC+H2O). Sulphur dioxide can influence both these mechanisms. Direct oxidation, which predominates when the exhaust-gas is fuel-lean, ispromoted by the adsorption of SOx species by the support. Under fuel-rich atmospheres, the presence of SO2 severelyinhibits steam reforming. The poisoning is associated with the formation of S2− on the platinum and of SO 4 2− on the support, but there is no indication of S-species being retained by the rhodium. It is proposed that each of the two mechanisms is sensitive to a different type of interaction at the metal-support interface. Direct oxidation is enhanced by the transfer of electrons from the precious metal to the support; steam reforming occurs at interfacial sites, which can be blocked by adsorbed SOx species.

    Notes: Abstract The role of preadsorbed oxygen present at Cu(111), Cu(110) and polycrystalline surfaces in the oxidation of methanol has been investigated by X-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopies. In addition to the well established formation of methoxy species and its subsequent decomposition and desorption as formaldehyde, a second reaction pathway to surface formate is present. The latter is temperature dependent being undetectable at 260 K at a polycrystalline surface but occurs at a significant rate at 295 K and above. The limitations of experimental data for methanol oxidation by temperature programmed desorption and molecular beam techniques are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Based on the comparative evaluation of the catalytic activity of Fe2O3, Mn2O3 and SnO2 and their mixed oxides (Fe2O3+SnO2) and (Mn2O3+SnO2), it is shown that the system (Mn2O3+SnO2) shows strong synergistic effects during CO oxidation reaction. Such effects are not observed for the analogous system (Fe2O3+SnO2). Based on the calcination and reduction behaviour of these two mixed oxide systems and the redox potentials of the involved cations, the possible reasons for the observance of synergistic effects for the (Mn2O3+SnO2) system are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Temkin's theory of rates of catalytic reactions on non-uniform surfaces is extended to the MoO3-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. Two types of sites are assumed to be present, an oxygen atom site that can be modeled with uniform properties and a metal atom site characterized by non-uniform properties both for ethanol chemisorption to an ethoxide intermediate and the conversion of this intermediate to acetaldehyde. The rate-limiting step is the cleavage of a C-H bond in the absorbed ethoxide intermediate. Non-uniform surface kinetics leads to a kinetic rate expression of the form $$v = kP_{C_2 H_5 OH}^{1 - m} P_{O_2 }^{(1 - m)/4} P_{H_2 O}^{ - (1 - m)/2} $$ . Such a rate expression, withm=0.14, is shown to provide a good fit to kinetic data for the selective oxidation of ethanol on a silica supported molybdenum oxide catalyst.

    Notes: Abstract Kinetics of the gas/solid heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation of dilute trichloroethylene (TCE) vapors by ultraviolet-illuminated titanium dioxide have been determined using a fixed-bed dynamic photoreactor. Reaction rate dependences on inlet TCE, oxygen and water vapor concentrations were found to consist of both reactant sensitive and insensitive regions. In the reactant sensitive regions, measured limiting apparent reaction rate orders for TCE, oxygen and water vapor are 0.8, 1.7 and — 3, respectively. Water vapor in the reactant stream lowersinitial reaction rates relative to corresponding water free conditions, but is required to sustain photocatalytic activity for extended periods of time.

    Notes: Abstract Titanium silicate molecular sieve TS-1 has been found to be an efficient catalyst for Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclic and aromatic ketones under triphase conditions (solid catalyst along with two immiscible liquid reactants in the absence of any cosolvent), using dilute H2O2. Reactions studied are the oxidation of cyclohexanone and acetophenone. Whereas in the case of cyclohexane,ε-caprolactone, a BV product along with hydroxy and diketones is formed, in the case of acetophenone, phenyl acetate, a BV product along witho- andp-hydroxyacetophenone is formed. The acidic nature of titanium peroxo species, stabilised by water, is proposed to be responsible for such reactions under triphasic reaction conditions.

    Notes: Abstract A new family of metalloporphyrin complexes having perfluoroalkyl groups in the meso-positions of the ring are active catalysts for the oxidation of isobutane to tert-butyl alcohol, TBA, and for the decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide to TBA. This discovery extends the limited number of meso-substituents that can be used to enhance catalytic activity and fits the postulate that groups that withdraw electrons from the porphyrin periphery give rise to active catalysts for alkane oxidation. The perfluoroalkyl groups also confer oxidative stability, hydrophobicity and lower cost to the catalyst.

    Notes: Abstract Platinum particles of 2 nm diameter have been immobilised on oxidised silicon wafers by spin coating with colloidal solutions and characterised by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The coverage and dispersion of the Pt colloids on the Si wafer are controlled by varying the concentration and the spin speed. Under optimal conditions mono-dispersed Pt colloids on silicon wafers are prepared. For the Pt colloids immobilised on the Si wafer, the majority of the stabilising ligands are removed through a reduction (with H2 at 200°C) or an oxidation (in air at 300°C) procedure. AFM showed that particle sizes are retained after the reduction procedure, while significant sintering occurs after oxidation. The mechanism of ligand removal was studied using an in situ XPS reaction cell.

    Notes: Abstract The interaction between CO2 and CeO2 and its role in the surface reactivity of alumina-supported cerium oxide has been studied by programmed thermodesorption (TPD) of CO2 and FTIR spectroscopy. The performance of Ce/Al2O3 systems was then analyzed for the propane oxidation in presence of CO2. The results have shown that the catalytic activity decreased when carbonate species are formed at the surface of CeO2. This behavior was attributed to the presence of CO2 from three different sources: contamination before use, during the handling of the samples, contamination proceeding from the reactants and from CO2 produced by the reaction itself.

TPR and TPD studies of oxidized species show that at low Cl/Pt atomic ratio (⩽1) PtO2 is formed at low temperature (400–500 K) and is totally decomposed (900 K) yielding reduced metallic Pt and inducing metal sintering. At high Cl/Pt atomic ratio (⩾6) formation of stable (up to 1000 K) platinum oxichloride avoids metal sintering.

    Notes: Abstract A practical catalytic method to convert alkanes into the corresponding oxygen‐containing compounds with O2 under mild conditions using N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in the presence or absence of a transition metal was developed. Thus, cyclohexane was successfully converted into adipic acid in good conversion and selectivity by a combined catalytic system consisting of NHPI and Mn(acac)2. Lower alkane such as isobutane was converted into t‐butyl alcohol (83%) under 10 atm of air by NHPI‐Co(OAc)2 system. Alkylbenzene such as toluene was oxidized to benzoic acid in high yield (81%) under normal temperature and pressure of dioxygen in the presence of a catalytic amount of NHPI and Co(OAc)2. ESR measurements showed that phthalimide‐N‐oxyl generated from NHPI under dioxygen atmosphere is a key species in this oxidation and functions as a radical catalyst.

Peroxides can degrade cellulose as well as decolorize it and remove stains. Both free radicals and perhydroxyl anions have been suggested as the intermediates in the reactions occurring between cellulosic products and hydrogen peroxide. The proposed mechanisms are reviewed with emphasis primarily on cotton cellulose. Further work is required to establish unequivocally the mechanism of degradation and decolorization of cellulose products.

    Notes: Abstract The suitability of a polymeric composite material for use as part of an anode structure in a cathodic protection system has been examined. The composite material was a conductive blend (volume resistivity typically 1.5 Ω cm) of carbon black in a polyethylene binder. A long operational lifetime for the material demands that the rate of carbon loss must be low. In the work reported here, electrochemical and in situ analytical techniques were employed to characterise the performance of the material over a wide range of anodic current densities in a variety of aqueous electrolytes. The predominant anodic electrochemical reaction on the polymeric material is CO2 formation in acid and neutral solutions, which causes loss of carbon from the surface and the development of a non-conducting layer of polyethylene. The characteristics of the reaction suggest that it occurs via the discharge of H2O. In alkaline pH, however, the anodic reactions are more complex. A high OH− concentration (pH 12 or higher) favours the formation of oxygen rather than CO2, particularly at low anodic potentials. The presence of CO3 2− in the electrolyte catalyses the evolution of oxygen at pH values as low as 9. The electrochemical formation of oxygen always occurs in parallel with the generation of some humic acid in the solution.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die aktuellen Mengen an freien Aminosäuren im Blut reichen nur aus, um die Ganzkörper-Proteinsynthese für einige Minuten aufrecht zu erhalten. Das zeigt, daß die freien Aminosäurenkonzentrationen in der Zirkulation klein und konstant gehalten werden im Vergleich zu den Mengen der Aminosäuren, die täglich aufgenommen und über die Körperproteine umgesetzt werden. Das Verschwinden der Aminosäuren exogenen oder endogenen Ursprungs aus dem freien Aminosäuren-Pool, findet hauptsächlich durch die Proteinsynthese und den Aminosäurenabbau statt. Die Partitionierung der Nahrungs-Aminosäuren zwischen diesen beiden Prozessen im Kurzzeitbereich werden als bedeutsam für die Ökonomie der Ganzkörper-Aminosäuren angesehen. Eine Verbesserung der Aminosäurenökonomie könnte durch solche nutritiven Maßnahmen erreicht werden, welche die Clearance der Nahrungsaminosäuren durch die Proteinsynthese anstelle des Aminosäurenabbaus begünstigen. Diese nutritiven Maßnahmen sollten sich an den „Schwellenwerten“ des Abbaus der individuellen Aminosäuren orientieren.
    Notes: Summary Actual amounts of free amino acids in the blood are sufficient to support whole body protein synthesis for some minutes only. This indicates that the levels of free amino acids in the circulation are kept small and constant relative to the amounts of amino acids supplied by daily intake and turnover of body proteins. The clearance of the amino acids originating from either endogenous or exogenous sources is mainly due to protein synthesis and metabolic degradation. The partitioning of dietary amino acids between these processes, on the short term, is supposed to play an important role in whole body amino acid economy. Therefore whole body amino acid economy could be improved by nutritional measures that favour the clearance of dietary amino acids by protein synthesis instead of by metabolic degradation. These nutritional measures should to be focused on threshold values for metabolic degradation of individual amino acids.

    Notes: Abstract Manganese(III) ion was stabilised in weakly acidic solution by means of pyrophosphate. Conditions for the quantitative oxidation of hydrazine, benzoylhydrazines, aroxyacetylhydrazines, semicarbazide, semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazide and thiosemicarbazones were investigated by titrimetric and potentiometric methods. The stoichiometries of these oxidations were pH-dependent. At pH 5 benzoyl hydrazines were oxidised by donating two electron each, the nitro derivative being the sole exception to show a three-electron change. Aroxyacetylhydrazines, semicarbazide and semicarbazones underwent three-electron oxidations. The free radical nature of these reactions was illustrated. Thiosemicarbazides reacted faster than semicarbazides. Metal complexes of thiosemicarbazide also yielded stoichiometric results, indicative of the number of TSC ligands in the complex. The oxidation products have been identified. At pH ⩽ 1 these reactions conformed to different stoichiometries.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behaviour of γ-TiAl based alloys with different Nb contents (2–10 At.%) was investigated in air and in argon-20% oxygen at 900 °C using thermogravimetric analysis. The oxide scales were characterized by a combination of optical microscopy, SEM/EDX and X-ray diffraction analyses. Although in all studied cases the presence of niobium improves the oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl, the oxidation kinetics, scale morphology and composition in air differed strongly from that in argon-oxygen. In air the oxidation resistance increases with increasing niobium-content. In Ar/O2 the niobium dependence is far more complex because internal oxidation occurs which is favoured by the presence of niobium. SNMS analysis revealed that the differences in behaviour in the two atmospheres are related to the formation of Ti-rich nitride at the scale/alloy interface during air oxidation. The positive effect of niobium on the oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl is mainly caused by a decrease of the transport processes in the heterogeneous TiO2/Al2O3-surface scale. Nitride formation and/or niobium enrichment at the scale/alloy interface also affect the oxidation behaviour, however these factors are believed to be the result of the decreased transport processes rather than the main reason for the niobium effect.

    Notes: Abstract The investigation of structural and electronic properties of the novel family of fullerenes depends on the existence of pure reference materials. Sublimation of the van-der Waals solids is a suitable purification method. Little attention has been paid to the question about the air stability of such sublimed samples in form of crystals or thin films. A combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis and diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy is used to show the extent to which oxygen from dry air is intercalated into fullerenes and which detrimental reactivity occurs from attempts to thermally remove („nneal”) air-exposed samples. The conclusion is that any fullerene sample exposed to air will be transformed in part into a polymeric non-fullerene carbon upon thermal treatment to above 400 K irrespective of its initial purity.

    Notes: Abstract A cooperative project between the International Rice Research Institute in Los Baños, Philippines, and the U.S. EPA Environmental Research Laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon, was initiated to estimate how rice yield in Asia might be affected by future climate change and enhanced UV-B irradiance following stratospheric ozone depletion. A radiative transfer model was used to estimate daily UV-B irradiance levels using remotely sensed ozone and cloud cover data for 1274 meteorological stations. A rice yield model using daily climatic data and cultivar-specific coefficients was used to predict changes in yield under given climate change scenarios. This paper gives an overview of the data required to run these two models and describes how a geographical information system (GIS) was used as a data pre- or postprocessor. Problems in finding reliable datasets such as cloud cover data needed for the UV-B radiation model and radiation data needed for the rice yield model are discussed. Issues of spatial and temporal scales are also addressed. Using simulation models at large spatial scales helped identify weaknesses of GIS data overlay and interpolation capabilities. Even though we focussed our efforts on paddy rice, the database is not intended to be system specific and could also be used to analyze the response of other natural systems to climatic change.

    Notes: Abstract The late Quaternary diatom records from alpine Opabin Lake (altitude 2285 m a.s.l.) and sub-alpine Mary Lake (altitude 2054 m a.s.l.), located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia (lat. 51 ° 21′N; long. 116 ° 20′), have been analyzed, and changes in these records have been used to reconstruct lake histories. The results have also been related to independently inferred vegetation and climate changes. Following deglaciation, when both lakes were receiving high inputs of clastic materials, benthic diatom taxa dominate the records of these two shallow lakes with small species ofFragilaria being particularly prominent. During the early to mid-Holocene period, when treeline was at a higher elevation than today, the diatom flora of both lakes became more diverse with previously minor species becoming more prominent.Cyclotella radiosa occurs in cores from both Mary Lake, and much deeper, neighbouring Lake O'Hara during the warm early Holocene, and may reflect this warmer climate, a longer ice-free season than presently, and perhaps less turbid water, or its presence may reflect a subtly higher nutrient status of the lake water during this period. The Neoglacial is marked by increased amounts of sediments originating from glacial sources in Opabin Lake, which undoubtedly led to very turbid water, and by the presence ofEllerbeckia arenaria f.teres andCampylodiscus noricus v.hibernica in Opabin Lake; however, these species are absent from Mary Lake which has not been influenced by either glacial activity since the recession of the glaciers prior toc. 10 000 years BP or water originating from Opabin Lake. The impact of the two tephras during the Holocene was dramatic in terms of increased diatom production, as exemplified by the increases in diatom numbers, but there was little effect upon species composition. The diatom records and changes in the diatom:cyst ratio suggest that the chemical status of these two small, shallow lakes has changed little during the Holocene, other than after deposition of the two tephras. These results provide evidence that shallow alpine and high sub-alpine lakes are sensitive recorders of past environmental changes.

    Notes: Abstract A pollen sequence spanning over 4000 years was recovered from a small (0.1 ha)Sphagnum-dominated peatland in the mountains near Sukhumi, Abkhasia, West Georgia. The peatland lies atc. 1650 m a.s.l. in denseFagus-Abies forest. The pollen record reveals totally forested surroundings throughout since at least 4000 years BP (90–95% AP). It begins with a complex forest dominated byFagus with large proportions ofCastanea, Acer andUlmus. ThenCastanea became dominant whileFagus was still prominent. This might indicate a warmer climate. Later development shows a dramatic decline ofCastanea. Its pollen drops down to 3–5%. RecentlyAbies has been experiencing an exponential growth. Now it comprises over 50% of the forest composition around the peatland. These changes have possibly been caused by human influence together with climatic change. The basin started as aPotamogeton-dominated shallow lake with ferns andAlisma along the margins. Later it developed into a sedge fen and finally aSphagnum andMenyanthes poor fen with scatteredCarex limosa. The record indicates a progression towards oligotrophy.

Site differences in rates of vertical height growth and dry mass accumulation were documented, but both within-core and between-site differences in bulk density and ash concentrations of peat confound efforts to relate vertical height growth and dry mass accumulation to net organic matter accumulation. Taking bulk densities and ash concentrations into account, rates of net organic matter accumulation over the past 150–200 years were strikingly similar at four of the five sites, an unexpected result given the general trend that with decreasing latitude, peat deposits become older, thinner, and more highly decomposed. More comprehensive studies are needed in which net organic matter accumulation is determined at several locations within a single peatland, at several peatlands within a particular geographic/climatic region, and at peatland sites in different geographic/climatic regions. If additional studies confirm that recent (past 200 years) net organic matter accumulation is relatively insensitive to broad-scale regional climatic differences, boreal and subarctic peatlands may continue to function as a net sink for atmospheric CO2 and a net source of atmospheric CH4 with no change in rates of net organic matter accumulation, even under predicted scenarios of global climate change.

    Notes: Abstract Siliceous microfossil assemblage succession was analyzed in a 100 m sediment core from Lake Baikal, Siberia. The core was recovered from the lake's central basin at a water depth of 365 m. Microfossil abundance varied greatly within the intervals sampled, ranging from samples devoid of siliceous microfossils to samples with up to 3.49 × 1011 microfossils g-1 sediment. Fluctuations in abundance appear to reflect trends in the marine δ18O record, with peak microfossil levels generally representing climate optima. Microfossil taxa present in sampled intervals changed considerably with core depth. Within each sample a small number of endemic diatom species dominated the assemblage. Changes in dominant endemic taxa between sampled intervals ranged from extirpation of some taxa, to shifts in quantitative abundance. Differences in microfossil composition and the association of variations in abundance with climate fluctuations suggest rapid speciation in response to major climatic excursions.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between surface sediment diatom assemblages and measured limnological variables in thirty-three coastal Antarctic lakes from the Vestfold Hills was examined by constructing a diatom-water chemistry dataset. Previous analysis of this dataset by canonical correspondence analysis revealed that salinity accounted for a significant amount of the variation in the distribution of the diatom assemblages. Weighted-averaging regression and calibration of this diatom-salinity relationship was used to establish a transfer function for the reconstruction of past lakewater salinity from fossil diatom assemblages. Weighted-averaging regression and calibration with classical deshrinking provided the best model for salinity reconstructions and this was applied to the fossil diatom assemblages from one of the saline lakes in the Vestfold Hills in order to assess its potential for palaeosalinity and palaeoclimate reconstruction.

    Notes: Abstract The late Quaternary diatom record from subalpine Crowfoot Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta (lat. 51° 61′N; long. 116° 31′W) has been analyzed. Results are related to independently inferred vegetation and climate changes. No diatoms were found in the basal diamict that predates 11330 14C yr BP. Very few occur until ca. 10 10014 C yr BP probably due to the short time between de-glaciation and an advance of the Crowfoot Glacier during the ‘Younger Dryas Chron’. Initial pioneering species were characteristic of alkaline water and calcareous organic sediments. They appeared as sediments became organic and laminated suggesting increasing water clarity, and as the Pinus-dominated forest expanded and the climate warmed. After ca. 9060 14C yr BP diatom numbers increased rapidly, reaching a maximum prior to the Mazama tephra; they remained high until ca. 3500 14C yr BP. The period between ca. 9060 and 3500 14C yr saw timberline elevation increase and the dominance of xerophytic taxa. These are consistent with early to mid-Holocene warmth and aridity. Diatom productivity reflects the warm climate and presumably longer ice-free season, a stable catchment and transparent water. Decreases in diatom productivity coincide with a vegetation change with reduction of xerophytic taxa and the appearance of a closed Picea-Abies forest, hence a cooler, wetter climate at ca. 4100 to 3500 14C yr BP. The diatom numbers during the Neoglacial were of the same magnitude as prior to ca. 9060 14C yr BP. Small species of Fragilaria (overwhelmingly Fragilaria construens v. venter) became extremely dominant during the period of high diatom productivity, and remained so thereafter. Recovery of the lake appears to have been rapid after deposition of the Mazama tephra. Maximum occurrence of Cyclotella radiosa occurred ca. 8000 14C yr BP during the warm early Holocene and may reflect this warmer climate, a longer ice-free season than presently, perhaps less turbid water, or it may reflect a subtly higher nutrient status of the lake water. The diatom record of Crowfoot Lake has responded with sensitivity, particularly in terms of productivity, to the Holocene vegetation and climate changes.

    Notes: Abstract Radiocarbon and uranium-series ages of a variety of materials from the Lahontan basin indicate that the last highstand lake occurred between 14 500 and 13 000 yr B.P. Although few in number, existing radiocarbon and uranium-series age data also indicate that lakes in the western Lahontan subbasins were small or moderate in size between 30 000 and 25 000 yr B.P. Existing data do not support the conclusions of Bradbury et al. (1989) who did not find evidence of a 14 000±yr B.P. highstand lake in the sediments of the Walker Lake subbasin. These data also do not support the existence of a highstand lake in the Walker Lake subbasin between 30 000 and 25 000 yr B.P.

    Notes: Abstract Diatoms, crustaceans, and pollen from sediment cores, in conjunction with dated shoreline tufas provide evidence for lake level and environmental fluctuations of Walker Lake in the late Quaternary. Large and rapid changes of lake chemistry and level apparently resulted from variations in the course and discharge of the Walker River. Paleolimnological evidence suggests that the basin contained a relatively deep and slightly saline to freshwater lake before ca. 30 000 years B.P. During the subsequent drawdown, the Walker River apparently shifted its course and flowed northward into the Carson Sink. As a result, Walker Lake shallowed and became saline. During the full glacial, cooler climates with more effective moisture supported a shallow brine lake in the basin even without the Walker River. As glacial climates waned after 15 000 years ago, Walker Lake became a playa. The Walker River returned to its basin 4700 years ago, filling it with fresh water in a few decades. Thereafter, salinity and depth increased as evaporation concentrated inflowing water, until by 3000 years ago Walker Lake was nearly 90 m deep, according to dated shoreline tufas. Lake levels fluctuated throughout this interval in response to variations in Sierra Nevada precipitation and local evaporation. A drought in the Sierras between 2400 and 2000 years ago reduced Walker Lake to a shallow, brine lake. Climate-controlled refilling of the lake beginning 2000 years ago required about one millennium to bring Walker lake near its historic level. Through time, lake basins in the complex Lake Lahontan system, fill and desiccate in response to climatic, tectonic and geomorphic events. Detailed, multidisciplinary paleolimnologic records from related subbasins are required to separate these processes before lake level history can be reliably used to interpret paleoclimatology.

    Notes: Abstract The biostratigraphy of fossil diatoms contributes important chronologic, paleolimnologic, and paleoclimatic information from Lake Baikal in southeastern Siberia. Diatoms are the dominant and best preserved microfossils in the sediments, and distinctive assemblages and species provide inter-core correlations throughout the basin at millennial to centennial scales, in both high and low sedimentation-rate environments. Distributions of unique species, once dated by radiocarbon, allow diatoms to be used as dating tools for the Holocene history of the lake. Diatom, pollen, and organic geochemical records from site 305, at the foot of the Selenga Delta, provide a history of paleolimnologic and paleoclimatic changes from the late glacial (15 ka) through the Holocene. Before 14 ka diatoms were very rare, probably because excessive turbidity from glacial meltwater entering the lake impeded productivity. Between 14 and 12 ka, lake productivity increased, perhaps as strong winds promoted deep mixing and nutrient regeneration. Pollen evidence suggests a cold shrub — steppe landscape dominated the central Baikal depression at this time. As summer insolation increased, conifers replaced steppe taxa, but diatom productivity declined between 11 and 9 ka perhaps as a result of increased summer turbidity resulting from violent storm runoff entering the lake via short, steep drainages. After 8 ka, drier, but more continental climates prevailed, and the modern diatom flora of Lake Baikal came to prominence. On Academician Ridge, a site of slow sedimentation rates, Holocene diatom assemblages at the top of 10-m cores reappear at deeper levels suggesting that such cores record at least two previous interglacial (or interstadial?) periods. Nevertheless, distinctive species that developed prior to the last glacial period indicate that the dynamics of nutrient cycling in Baikal and the responsible regional climatic environments were not entirely analogous to Holocene conditions. During glacial periods, the deep basin sediments of Lake Baikal are dominated by rapidly deposited clastics entering from large rivers with possibly glaciated headwaters. On the sublacustrine Academician Ridge (depth = 300 m), however, detailed analysis of the diatom biostratigraphy indicates that diastems (hiatuses of minor duration) and (or) highly variable rates of accumulation complicate paleolimnologic and paleoclimatic reconstructions from these records.

    Notes: Abstract Sediment cores from three lakes (Moss, Sombre and Heywood) in the maritime Antarctic (Signy Island, South Orkney Islands) have been successfully dated radiometrically by210Pb and137Cs. The core inventories of both fallout radionuclides are an order of magnitude higher than that which can be supported by the direct atmospheric flux at this latitude. The elevated values may be explained by fallout onto the catchment during the winter being delivered directly to the lakes during the annual thaw. Two of the lakes (Sombre and Heywood) show marked increases in sediment accumulation afterc. 1950. This appears to be associated with a documented rise in temperature in the South Orkney Islands, which has caused extensive deglaciation at Signy Island.
