Photocatalytic unification of iodine species using platinum-loaded titanium dioxide

Sugita, Tsuyoshi; Mori, Masanobu*; Kozai, Naofumi

Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A; Chemistry, 438, p.114548_1 - 114548_6, 2023/04

Removal of iodine from water contaminated by nuclear accidents or the release of radioactive waste is complicated and costly because iodine exists in a variety of forms in the water. We investigated the unification of iodine species by photocatalysis as a pretreatment for removing radioactive iodine species from water. The effect of the TiO$$_{2}$$ crystal phase of Pt-TiO$$_{2}$$ and solution pH on the photocatalytic redox reactions of iodide (I$$^{-}$$), iodate (IO$$_3^{-}$$), and o-iodobenzoic acid were evaluated. The choice of TiO$$_{2}$$ crystalline phase and pH allowed the mixture of iodine species to be unified to only I$$^{-}$$ or IO$$_3^{-}$$. Regardless of the type of Pt-TiO$$_{2}$$, the iodine in o-iodobenzoic acid was mineralized to I$$^{-}$$ under alkaline conditions. Because the iodine species can be unified to a single species by selecting the photocatalyst and the solution pH, this photocatalytic treatment could be applied to remove iodine species with high efficiency.

In JRR-3, in response to the new regulatory standard for research reactors that is enforced December 2013, we submitted the application document of reactor installation license for the JRR-3 on September 2014, and acquired the permission on November 2018. Thereafter, we carried out impact assessment for internal overflow based on the design principles as described in the application document of reactor installation license for the JRR-3. There are two legal requirements for internal overflow. The first is to ensure that the necessary safety functions are not lost due to internal overflow that occur in the facility. The second is to prevent leakage of liquid containing radioactive materials outside the radiation controlled area in the event of an internal overflow. For these requirements, assuming each overflow source, it was confirmed that the necessary safety functions would not be lost and that liquid containing radioactive materials would not leak outside the controlled area. Regarding these assessments, design and construction plans were submitted in installments, and the approvals were obtained sequentially. This report shows the result that is impact assessment for internal overflow in JRR-3.

In JRR-3, in response to new regulatory standard for research and test reactor which is enforced December 2013, we established new design basis ground motion for confirming new regulatory standard and carried out seismic evaluations of the appointments, instruments and structures which are installed in JRR-3 by using that earthquake motion. This report shows that the result of evaluations by fatigue strength evaluation, which is more detailed evaluation approach, about Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) and the CRDM Guide Tube that have gotten the serious result of seismic safety margin by using time history response analysis method. As a result, it was confirmed that CRDM and the CRDM Guide Tube have sufficient seismic safety margin.

Incoherent neutron scattering and Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy on protein and hydration water

Nakagawa, Hiroshi; Yamamoto, Naoki*

Life (Internet), 13(2), p.318_1 - 318_15, 2023/02

Incoherent neutron scattering and terahertz spectroscopy have approximately the same energy range of measurement. Since both techniques are used to study the dynamics of proteins and hydrated water, it is important to review the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques and the relevant literature. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review of both methods, and we believe that this review is of high value.

Spin gap in the weakly interacting quantum spin chain antiferromagnet KCuPO$$_{4}$$$$cdot$$H$$_{2}$$O

Fujihara, Masayoshi; Hagihara, Masato; Morita, Katsuhiro*; Murai, Naoki; Koda, Akihiro*; Okabe, Hirotaka*; Mitsuda, Setsuo*

The $$S$$ = 1/2 Heisenberg linear chain antiferromagnet is the simplest spin model; nevertheless it serves as a platform for various quantum many-body phenomena. Here, we report the magnetic behavior of a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet KCuPO$$_{4}$$$$cdot$$H$$_{2}$$O. A long-range commensurate antiferromagnetic order with ordered moment 0.31(1) $$mu_{rm{B}}$$ per spin occurs at $$T_{rm{N}}$$ = 11.7(1) K. Above $$T_{rm{N}}$$, the inelastic neutron excitation is characterized by a two spinon continuum. The intrachain interaction $$J$$ and interchain interaction $$|J'|$$ are estimated to be 172 K and 4.25(4) K, respectively; thus the ratio of the $$|J'|$$/$$J$$ = 0.0247(3). At lower energies, below $$T_{rm{N}}$$, a spin gap is observed in the dispersive excitations. These results are consistent with characteristics observed in weakly interacting $$S$$ = 1/2 Heisenberg chain system.

Advanced capabilities in noninvasive, in situ monitoring of sweat serve as the basis for obtaining real-time insights into human physiological state, health, and performance. Although recently reported microfluidic systems support powerful functions, most are designed as single-use disposables. Here, we introduce materials and molding techniques that bypass these concerns through biodegradable microfluidic systems with a full range of features. The key components fully degrade through the enzymatic action of microorganisms in natural soil environments. Detailed characterization of the device reveal a set of essential performance parameters that are comparable to, or even better than, those of non-degradable counterparts. Human subject studies illustrate the ability of these devices to acquire accurate measurements of sweat loss, sweat rate, pH, and chloride concentration.
