A clock timer periodically activates a pump that injects a sample into the column. The recording potentiometer on which the chromatogram is traced has a switch mounted at the upper margin. Collection of the purified main component occurs when the recorder pen goes to the end of the scale and trips the switch. The sensitivity of the detector bridge circuit is adjusted so that only the trace caused by the major component will activate the collection process. Toluene, ethylbenzene, and mesitylene were purified with the apparatus. Best results were obtained with toluene. In one pass through the apparatus, 92 percent of the impurities were removed from the toluene and the purified product was collected at a rate of 25 ml of liquid per day.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

The following crosslinks are involved: It has been found that the —CH2—groups in these crosslinks can be hydrolyzed to yield one equivalent of formaldehyde for each equivalent of hydrolyzable methylene group. This permits the application of the chromotropic acid method for determining formaldehyde to the estimation of the number of crosslinks in the fiber, when used in conjunction with a previously reported conductometric method for the determination of sulfhydryl groups. A general method has been worked out, with special attention to sulfur-containing degradation products (of the crosslinks) that may interfere with the analysis.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

From an analysis of these data a general qualitative theory of the phase behavior of the n-paraffins is developed. Four distinct crystal structures—hexagonal, triclinic, monoclinic, and orthorhombic—describe the solid phases of all n-paraffins with more than nine carbon atoms in the chain. The latter two structures become equivalent at longer chain lengths. Odd-even differences are resolved in terms of reasonable differences in end group packing, and the smooth increase in melting and transition temperature with increasing chain length is attributed to a decrease in the ratio of end groups to chain groups. Double transitions are predicted for several pure n-paraffins above n-C34H70. Impurity effects are isolated from the pure n-paraffin properties and discussed. The equation, TM(°K) = 414.3 (n−1.5)/(n + 5.0) is presented as a correct description of the melting temperatures (TM) of all n-paraffins above n-C44H90. Sufficient data to permit an accurate extrapolation of the enthalpies and entropies of fusion to the infinite-chain limit are not available.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

To these standardized spectrophotometric data definite amounts of these errors were deliberately introduced and converted to tristimulus values and chromaticity coordinates of the International Commission of Illumination system of colorimetry for Sources A, B, and C. Similar reductions show the effects of slit widths of 1, 5, 10, and 15 millimicrons (mµ) on computed results both by the selected-ordinate method of 10, 30, and 100 ordinates, and by the weighted-ordinate methods of 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-mµ intervals. Duplicate sets of these glasses have been evaluated by visual comparison with this set of master standards, and are available as part of the Standard Materials Program of the National Bureau of Standards. By comparing the certified values of luminous transmittance and chromaticity coordinates for a set of these glasses with the values obtained on a particular integrator-spectrophotometer combination, the type and extent of instrumental errors may be evaluated.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

A rapid chromatographic method of analysis has been developed in which 2.5- to 3.0-gram samples of oil are desorbed from silica gel into five different fractions by successive elution with pentane, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and ethanol as eluents. Six extender-oils were analyzed by this method. Physical properties of the separated fractions showed marked differences between fractions of the same oil and similarities between corresponding fractions of the different oils. The chromatographic separation of extender-oils into compositionally different fractions provides a method for evaluation of the effect of different components on specific properties of the finished rubber product.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.
