本研究では、パーフルオロヘキサン中のフルオラスリン酸エステル(TFP)からなるフルオラス抽出系において、n-ヘキサン中の有機リン酸エステル(THP)からなる類似の有機抽出系と比較して、より高い金属イオン抽出性能に寄与する主要因を分子レベルで理解するために、硝酸溶液からのZr(IV)イオンの抽出の巨視的挙動を微視的構造情報と相関させた。拡張X線吸収微細構造、中性子反射率測定、中性子小角散乱により、それぞれZr(IV)イオン周辺の局所配位構造、界面における抽出剤分子の蓄積、バルク抽出相における抽出剤分子の構造が明らかになった。その結果、いずれの抽出系においても、界面には抽出剤分子はあまり蓄積しなかった。フルオラス抽出系では、硝酸との接触により凝集体が形成され、Zr(IV)抽出後も残存した。一方、有機抽出系では、二量体のみが形成された。Zr(IV)イオン周辺の局所的な配位構造とバルク抽出相における抽出剤分子の構造の違いが、フルオラス抽出系における高いZr(IV)抽出性能に寄与していると推測している。特に、フルオラス相中のZr(IV)濃度が増加しても凝集体の大きさはほとんど変化せず、これはフルオラス抽出系で相分離が起こらないことと密接に関係していると考えられる。

水生環境および陸上環境におけるプラスチック破片の発生とその特徴は、広範囲に研究されてきた。しかし、環境中のプラスチック関連バイオフィルムの特性と動的挙動に関する情報はまだ限られている。この研究では、モンゴルの内陸河川系からプラスチックサンプルを収集し、分析、同位体、熱重量分析技術を使用してプラスチックからバイオフィルムを抽出し、バイオフィルムの特性を明らかにした。抽出されたバイオフィルムから有機粒子と鉱物粒子の混合物が検出され、プラスチックが河川生態系の汚染物質を含む外因性物質のキャリアであることが明らかになった。熱重量分析により、バイオフィルムの約80wt%を占めるアルミノケイ酸塩と方解石を主成分とするミネラルが主に寄与していることが示された。本研究は、水生生態系における有機物および物質循環に対するプラスチック関連バイオフィルムの影響を解明するのに役立つ、バイオフィルムの特性および環境挙動に関する洞察を提供する。

Dissipative structures often appear as an unstable counterpart of ordered structures owing to fluctuations that do not form a homogeneous phase. Even a multiphase mixture may simultaneously undergo one chemical reaction near equilibrium and another one that is far from equilibrium. Here, we observed in real-time crystal seed formation and simultaneous nanocrystal aggregation proceeding from tetravalent cerium complexes to ceria nanoparticles in an acidic aqueous solution and investigated the resultant hierarchical nanoarchitecture. The formed particles exhibited two very different size ranges. The hierarchically assembled structures in solutions were ceria colloids, viz. primary core clusters of crystalline ceria and secondary clusters assembled through surface ions. Such self-assembly is widespread in multi-component complex fluids, paradoxically moderating hierarchical reactions. Stability and instability are not only critical but also complementary for co-optimization around the nearby free energy landscape prior to bifurcation.

In uranium production, liquid-liquid extraction using the AMEX (AMine EXtraction) process employs tertiary amines solubilized in an aliphatic diluent. Practical constraints as phase stability problems and co-extraction of competitive elements highlight the need for in-depth investigation and optimization. Modifying gradually the alkyl chain structure of tertiary amines, we investigate here the large variation in extraction performance in terms of Gibbs free energy of transfer using the ienaic decomposition taking into account long range interactions. We show hereby that structuration of the solvent phase can change uranium distribution by 2 orders of magnitude, which is incompatible with standard complexation theory of liquid-liquid extraction. We observe that co-extracted water is required to obtain extraction while extraction is quenched and no pair core can be formed when less than four as effective aggregation number. We conclude that the film term in the ienaic decomposition of the Gibbs energy of transfer, is the one that governs extraction performance. It shows that metal transfer is beyond complexation, and that organization of the solvent phase must be considered to quantitatively interpret the distribution coefficients.

Supramolecular organization of amphiphilic extractant molecules is involved in metal cation selectivity and separation kinetics during solvent extraction. The relationship between extractant associates/aggregates formed in the organic bulk phase and at the liquid-liquid interface is poorly understood even though it affects the extraction mechanism. The nanoscopic structures of the extraction systems N,N,N',N'-tetrahexylmalonamide (THMA) in toluene and N,N'-dibutyl-N,N'-dimethyl-2-tetradecylmalonamide (DBMA) in n-heptane, used for either Pd(II) or Nd(III) selective extraction from an acidic aqueous phase, were examined. These systems present markedly different affinity for Pd(II) and Nd(III), and extraction kinetics. Extractant organization in the organic bulk phase and at the interface were compared by small-angle X-ray scattering, interfacial tension, and neutron reflectivity. THMA in toluene forms small associates in the organic bulk phase and accumulates in a diffuse layer at the interface, decreasing Pd(II) coordination probability and resulting in slow extraction. DBMA in n-heptane forms large aggregates and a compact, dense interfacial layer, resulting in rapid Pd(II) and Nd(III) extraction. Thus, Pd(II) extraction is driven by interfacial coordination alone, whereas the incorporation of Nd(III) into the core of large aggregates governs Nd(III) extraction in the interfacial layer. These results suggest that the interface should be described as a nanoscale interphase containing a high extractant concentration compared with the organic bulk phase.

Synthesis of heat-resistant, living polymer particles via one-step reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer precipitation polymerization (RAFTPP) of styrene and $$N$$-phenylmaleimide is reported. Gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed that the polymerization proceeded in a living manner. The scanning electron microscopy results showed that the monodisperse P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP particles with a diameter of 1.88 micrometer were successfully synthesized. The P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP showed excellent thermal stability with a high glass transition temperature and a 5 percent weight loss temperature. The surface concentration of the RAFT groups was determined to be 0.181 groups/square-nanometer due to fragmentation of the RAFT groups exposed on the particles. The small-angle neutron scattering measurements showed the particle formation mechanism, in which the swollen, growing polymer chains were consumed for particle formation. The introduction of grafted chains by surface-initiated RAFT polymerization demonstrated the possibility of further functionalization of P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP particles by exploiting their living nature.

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) derived radioactive Cs-rich microparticles (CsMPs) present a potential health risk through inhalation. Despite their occurrence in indoor environments impacted by the FDNPP accident, little is known about their prevalence. In this study, we quantitatively analyse the distribution and number of CsMPs in indoor dust samples collected from an elementary school located 2.8 km to the southwest of FDNPP. The school had remained untouched until 2016. Then, using a modified version of the autoradiography based "quantifying CsMPs (mQCP) method," we collected samples and determined the number of CsMPs and Cs radioactive fraction (RF) values of the microparticles (defined as total Cs activity from CsMPs / bulk Cs activity of entire sample). The numbers of CsMPs were determined to be 653 - 2570 particles/g and 296 - 1273 particles/g on the first and second floors of the school, respectively. The corresponding RFs ranged between 6.85 - 38.9 % and 4.48 - 6.61 %, respectively. The number of CsMPs and RF values in additional outdoor samples near the school building were and 23 - 63 particles/g and 1.14 - 1.61 %, respectively. The CsMPs were most abundant on the School's first floor near to the entrance, and the relative abundance was high near to the stairs on the second floor, indicating a likely CsMP dispersion path through the building. Additional wetting of the indoor samples combined with autoradiography revealed that indoor dusts had a distinct absence of intrinsic, soluble Cs species like CsOH. Combined, the results indicate that a significant amount of poorly soluble CsMPs were likely contained in initial radioactive airmass plumes from the FDNPP and that the microparticles could penetrate buildings. Clean-up plans for buildings / residential areas impacted by CsMP containing plumes, and monitoring of areas re-opened to the public, should take account of CsMPs in dusts.

Understanding clay flotation mechanisms has become a major concern because of the increasing level of environmental contamination of soil and ground water by heavy metals and radionuclides. Clays are often used as sorbents for extracting metals in indirect flotation processes but can function simultaneously as defoamers. However, how foam generation and stability depend on the molecular interactions between the clays and surfactant is still controversial. In the present study, an amine polyethoxylated surfactant was used as a bifunctional surfactant that collected clay particles and acted as a foaming agent in the flotation process. The pH conditions strongly affected the surfactant physicochemical properties, allowing the clay extraction efficiency to be tuned. The interfacial recovery factor of the clays almost reached 100 percent under acidic (pH lower than 6) and neutral (pH 6-10) conditions, whereas it was negative under alkaline conditions (pH higher than 10), contrary to expectations. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in the particle flotation process for each of the pH conditions, the bulk and foam phases were analyzed. The effects of electrostatic interactions between the solutes and multiscale structure on the clay extraction behavior were investigated by electrophoretic measurements, dynamic light scattering, small-angle neutron scattering, and image analysis. Based on these results, three flotation processes were found depending on pH range: surfactant foam fractionation at pH higher than 10; clay particle foam flotation at pH 6-10; and particle froth flotation at pH lower than 6.

地磁気地電流(MT)法電磁探査において、鉄道や高圧送電線等から発せられる電磁ノイズは、電場と磁場の間に高い相関度を有するコヒーレントノイズであることが多く、自然電磁場応答との区別が困難とされる。こうしたノイズの強大な影響を抑制することを目標に、観測電磁場の自然信号とノイズへの分解に基づいたMT法観測データ処理技術が、近年盛んに報告されている。その際、経験的なパラメータ設定に依存せずに、自然信号とノイズによる応答を安定的に識別することが重要となる。加えて、観測電磁場の分解により得られた分離信号からの値の減算が不適切な場合には、自然信号の値の損失やノイズの影響を受けた値の取りこぼしにつながり、真の自然電磁場応答の導出に失敗してしまう。本稿では、著者らが新たに考案したMT法観測データ処理技術について報告する。観測電磁場に周波数領域独立成分分析(FDICA)を適用して得られる分離信号において、自然信号及びノイズに相当する成分を、観測点のノイズの影響を受けない参照点における磁場を用いて定量的に判定する。また、分離信号から観測電磁場を復元する際、時間領域及び周波数領域における電磁場応答関数の連続性に関する評価指標を導入することで、分離信号のどの値を減算するかを決定する。強大なノイズ波形を人為的に加算したMT法時系列と直流電化鉄道地域における実データの両方を用いたところ、提案手法が既存のMT法観測データ処理手法に比べて優れたノイズ低減性能を示すことを確認できた。

原子力機構東海タンデム加速器には、40台の超伝導Quarter Wave Resonator(QWR)によって重イオンを10MeV/uまで加速するブースターリニアックがあるが、2011年の震災以降、運転を停止している。近年ウラン等のより重い核種を加速するため、タンデム加速器のアップグレードが精力的に検討され、QWR再稼働の必要性が高まっている。現在、運転時に必要な加速電圧とQ値を得るため、QWR内面荒さを低減するための電解研磨条件を検証している。一方で電解研磨はNb中水素を増加させ、水素病と呼ばれるQ値の減少を引き起こす可能性がある。真空中高温焼鈍で水素を放出させることで水素病を抑えることができるが、QWRのクラッド材を構成するNbとCuの熱膨張差による空洞破損の危険性がある。そのため表面粗さの低減とNbバルク中の水素の増加を最小限に抑えるため、研磨条件を最適化する必要がある。我々はこれまで水素吸蔵量および脱離機構を昇温脱離分析(TDS)により検証できることに着目し、研究を行ってきた。発表では異なる条件で研磨したNb材料のTDS結果、表面観察結果、表面粗さの相関について得られた成果を発表する。

There is an ever-increasing body of evidence that metallic complexes, involving amphiphilic ligands, do not form normal solutions in organic solvents. Instead, they form complex fluids with intricate structures. For example, the metallic complexes may aggregate into clusters and these clusters themselves may aggregate into super-clusters. In order to gain a deeper insight into the mechanisms at play, we have used an improved force field to conduct extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a system composed of zirconium nitrate, water, nitric acid, tri-$$n$$-butyl phosphate and $$n$$-octane. The important new finding is that a dynamic equilibrium between the cis and trans isomers of the metal complex is likely to play a key role in the aggregation behavior. The isolated cis and trans isomers have similar energies but simulation indicates that the clusters consist predominantly of cis isomers. With increasing metal concentration, we hypothesize that more clustering occurs and the chemical equilibrium shifts towards the cis isomer. It is possible that such isomeric effects play a role in the liquid-liquid extraction of other species and the inclusion of such effects in flowsheet modelling may lead to a better description of the process.

Malonamide derivatives, which are among the most extensively investigated extractants in solvent extraction of lanthanoids, actinides, and platinum group metal ions, were deuterated by using Pd/C and Rh/C catalysts with a D$$_{2}$$O/2-propanol mixture. This method enables to replace the hydrogen atoms by deuterium atoms in the malonamide chemical structure with a controllable deuteration rate. The maximum rate reaches 75 percent approximately, determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In addition, it has been demonstrated that extraction behavior of the malonamide molecules remains unchanged after the deuteration procedure. Deuterated malonamides should be a powerful tool for fundamental researches on solvent extraction systems, in particular, for structural analysis of the organic phases. The large difference in the neutron scattering cross-section between hydrogen and deuterium leads to a large difference in neutron scattering length density of the malonamide derivatives before and after the deuteration reaction. Therefore, using deuterated malonamides in small-angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectivity studies could give access to the nanoscopic structure of the specific solute species in the bulk organic phase and at the liquid-liquid interface, respectively. This deuteration method could become a general one and be extended to a wide variety of extractant molecules. In this way this work contributes to the development of the fundamental researches in solvent extraction systems.

マルイ鍍金工業では、日本原子力研究開発機構(JAEA)と共同で東海タンデム加速器後段の超伝導ブースター用1/4波長型超伝導空洞(QWR)について再表面処理の検討を行っている。この空洞はニオブ-銅のクラッド板で製作されており、底部に大きな開口があるため、再度の電解研磨処理等が可能な構造になっている。再表面処理では、内面ニオブに電解研磨(EP)を施工して表面粗さを小さくし、高い加速電界(5MV/m以上)を発生できるようにすることを目標としている。2020年度には、マルイ鍍金工業がニオブ9セル空洞EPの経験で得た各種パラメータとJAEA所有の電極、治具等を組み合わせて、予備の空洞に対してEPを施工した。しかし、EP後のニオブ表面は光沢が増すものの表面粗さが良好な状態とはならず、加速電界もEP前よりは改善したが、目標値には達していなかった。2021年度には空洞のニオブ表面粗さと加速電界の改善を目指して、EPのパラメータ(電極面積,電圧,流量と揺動)を変えての実験を行い、設備,条件,表面粗さ等の評価を行った。また、今回はこれまでに観察してこなかった中心導体のドリフトチューブ部内面などについても広く観察を行ったので、そちらの結果も併せて報告する。

Metallic biomaterials are widely used to replace or support failing hard tissues due to excellent mechanical properties and high wear resistance, with demand increasing as the global population continues to age. It is widely accepted that successful metallic biomaterials should have good biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, and strong wear resistance. In addition, a low Young's modulus similar to human bone is now recognized as another important factor, in order to avoid bone atrophy due to the stress shielding effect. While the Young's modulus of stainless steels and conventional fcc CoCr alloys is as high as 190-240 GPa, for $$beta$$-type Ti-base alloys it is generally in the range of 50-80 GPa. Young's modulus values are as low as 35 GPa for Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr, close to that of human bone at approximately 10-30 GPa. However, Ti-base alloys come with the compromise of low wear resistance. In fact, alloys that feature a low Young's modulus along with high wear resistance have been difficult to realize. This article explores the recently developed bcc CoCr-base alloy Co-Cr-Al-Si as a potential solution to these issues, i.e., the difficulty in combining a low Young's modulus with high wear resistance, and the challenge of realizing large superelastic strains.

The demand for biomaterials has been increasing along with the increase in the population of elderly people worldwide. The mechanical properties and high wear resistance of metallic biomaterials makes them well-suited for use as substitutes or as support for damaged hard tissues. However, unless these biomaterials also have a low Young's modulus similar to that of human bones, bone atrophy inevitably occurs. Because a low Young's modulus is typically associated with poor wear resistance, it is difficult to realize a low Young's modulus and high wear resistance simultaneously. Also, the superelastic property of shape memory alloys makes them suitable for biomedical applications, like vascular stents and guide wires. However, due to the low recoverable strain of conventional biocompatible shape memory alloys, the demand for a new alloy system is high. The novel body-center-cubic cobalt-chromium-based alloys in this paper provide a solution to both of these problems. We believe our novel alloys are promising candidates for biomedical applications.

Polymer photonic crystals (PPCs) that selectively reflect visible light were prepared by triblock polymerization-induced ${it in situ}$ microphase separation via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The addition of homopolymer to the polymerization system swelled a specific phase of the microdomains, enabling the preparation of PPCs with long-wavelength structural colors. Small-angle neutron scattering confirmed the increase in the domain spacing of the lamellar microdomains with the addition of homopolymer, while maintaining their morphology.
