The thermal decomposition mechanism of a newly designed composite material KClO3-HMX (KC-HMX) is investigated by combined TG-DSC-FTIR technique and T/Jump in-situ thermolysis cell/FTIR (T/Jump FTIR) technique.It is shown that KC-HMX began to decompose at about 266°C without melting, and the fast stage of mass loss at the temperature range of 268.4~290.1°C is considered to be the result of the t...

An essential characteristic for high performance inherently hydrophobic membranes such as microporous high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes is to have a hydrophilic surface. In this project, wet chemical functionalization as a facile and effective method was developed to give a hydrophilic property to HDPE membranes using polar functional groups. KClO3, K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4 were selected as o...

A highly sensitive denitrification bioassay was developed for detection of NO3- and NO2- in rhizosphere soil samples. Denitrifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa ON12 was grown anaerobically in citrate (30 mM) minimal medium with KClO3 (10 mM) and NaNO2 (3 mM), which gave cells capable of NO2- reduction to N2O but incapable of NO3- reduction to NO2-. Growth on citrate minimal medium further resulted in...

In this investigation, Aspergillus niger isolated from eight food substances, have been classified based on the absence of heterokaryon formation. The size their sporangia were differentiated, wild and mutant strains subjected to vegetative compatibility tests in order group them into different groups (VCGs) which include VCG-1, VCG-2, VCG-3 VCG-4. further tested for possible formation a stable...

In order to elucidate the unusual superconducting properties of cuprates in strongly overdoped region, i.e., at hole-doping levels p≳0.4/Cu CuO2 plane, we study structural and a series Cu0.75Mo0.25Sr2YCu2O7+x powder samples oxygenated under high pressure using different concentrations KClO3 up 35 mol %. The analysis X-ray diffraction data indicates purity ∼90% all suggests that concentration, x...
