Complexation thermodynamics of UO22+ and a series N,N,N’,N’-tetraalkyl diglycolamide (TRDGA) ligands having alkyl chains –CH3 to –C6H13 were investigated in an ionic liquid (IL). The complexation constant for UO22+/DGA complex increased linearly with increasing chain length DGA from tetramethyl (logβ1 = 4.52, logβ2 8.01) tetrahexyl 5.62, 10.3). There two types species recorded the calorimetric ...

Abstract Catalytic/initiated cracking of endothermic hydrocarbon fuels is an effective technology for cooling a hypersonic aircraft with high Mach number (over 5). Catalysts and initiators can promote fuel at low temperatures, increase conversion the heat sink capacity, suppress coke deposition, thereby reducing waste heat. mainly include metal oxide catalysts, noble catalysts nanoparticles, ze...
