The programme emphasised the development from fundamentals to industrial applications of solvent extraction. Session topics were: – Hydrometallurgy and Metals Extraction – Process Chemistry and Engineering – Nuclear Applications – Analytical and Preparative Chemistry – Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Life-Science Products and Organic Products – Fundamentals – Novel Reagents, Materials and Techniques The conference followed a traditional format with five excellent plenary lectures from experts in the various fields, five parallel oral programmes, two poster sessions and two panel discussion sessions specifically considering ‘Uranium Processing’ and ‘New Reagents and Their Design’. Full conference proceedings have been published (3). The interesting and potentially exploitable aspects of the chemistry of the platinum group metals (pgms) in solvent extraction-based refining circuits continue to be of significant interest (4–10). Comments on selected oral and poster presentations most relevant to the furthering of fundamental chemistry, refining and processing of both the pgms and gold are given here under the titles of the sessions in which they appeared (with the relevant page numbers of the aforementioned proceedings given in brackets). Hydrometallurgy and Metals Extraction Several systems have been proposed for the replacement of cyanide as a lixiviant for gold and silver, and a thermodynamic model has been developed by G. T. Lapidus et al. (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, Mexico) (pp. 299–304) for the precious metal complexes extracted from an ammonium copper thiosulfate solution. Similarly, the use of thiourea as an alternative to cyanide for the recovery of gold and silver has several advantages, including improved kinetics and lower toxicity of the reagents. Z. Gamino-Arroyo et al. (École Centrale Paris, France) (pp. 293–298) presented a mechanistic study of the extraction of precious metals from a di(2-ethylhexyl)dithiophosphoric acid solution system. A study of the influence of residual gold on the solvent extraction-based recovery of cyanide from more traditional industrial cyanidation liquors was presented by M. B. Mansur et al. (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil) (pp. 311–316). As part of the capacity expansion project within the Anglo Platinum Precious Metals Refinery in South Africa, S. F. Woollam (Anglo Research, South Africa) and R. A. Grant (Johnson Matthey Technology Centre (JMTC), U.K.) (pp. 281–286) observed a significant increase in the rate of acidcatalysed degradation of the hydroxyoxime LIX 84I in the palladium solvent extraction circuit when the reagent concentration was increased.

Inuki carried out this work in the laboratory of Professor Hiroaki Ohno (Kyoto University, Japan), whose young research group has established a reputation in the fi eld of late transition metal-catalysed ‘cascade’ organic reactions (also known as ‘domino’ reactions) involving alkynes and allenes. The target audience for the book includes practicing organic chemists with interests in synthesis, and those with specifi c interests in palladium-catalysed organic reactions, and as such is suited to graduate level and above. As the title suggests, the book delves extensively into mechanistic aspects of palladium-catalysed allene chemistry, with a focus on two reaction types: intramolecular reactions of allenylpalladium(II) complexes with pendant nucleophiles, and intramolecular reactions of allenes activated by pendant palladium(II) species (Scheme I). The key feature of these processes is the ability of the palladium(II) catalyst to enhance the electrophilicity of the allene through coordination to the metal atom in its +2 oxidation state, thus triggering nucleophilic attack. Having established an understanding of each metal-catalysed bicyclisation, Inuki goes on to apply this chemistry to the synthesis of a number of bioactive alkaloid natural products. The overall aims of the work are fi rstly to extend the state of the art in palladium-activated allene chemistry through a “Total Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products by Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Cyclization of Allenes and Related Compounds”","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"58 1","pages":"194-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106712X651180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design and performance of engine aftertreatment systems are discussed in detail, and a few key performance characteristics of DOC-DPF systems are addressed. Signifi cant passive soot oxidation was observed. Model based controls were found to properly account for passive regenerations of the DPF and could be used to schedule active regenerations automatically. Active regenerations were transparent to operators. Tight DPF inlet temperature control and engine exhaust temperature management were found to be key for successful active DPF regenerations. The average fuel consumption for active regenerations was estimated by a simple energy balance model. The emission performance of a DOC-DPF system under normal and active regenerations is summarised, and ash accumulation and DPF pressure drop impact are analysed.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"56 1","pages":"144-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106712X645466","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
