Sieves have opened several new fields of analytical separation, said R. L. Mays of the Linde Co. Molecular Sieves of Type A are zeolites that con­tain Na20, A1203, and Si02 in the ratio of 1:1:2, and have pore openings of about 3.2 A. (If Ca replaces Na, the openings are about 4.2 A.) The other common type, X, has these materials in a 1:1:2.5 ratio and pore openings of 8 to 9 A.

Adsorption occurs as a monolayer and follows Langmuir-type curves for isothermal conditions. Mass transfer of adsorption is determined by empiri­cal methods. Heat of adsorption, how­ever, can be found by use of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and plots of the logarithm of pressure against the reciprocal of temperature.

NMR for Structure Details. As experience grows with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the technique proves itself by providing structure de­tails much faster and more specifically than can be obtained using such meth­ods as infrared or x-ray of crystals. W. D. Phillips, Du Pont, pointed out, however, that a sample must be in solu­tion for analysis and concentrations re­quired are relatively high—in the 1-mole-per-liter range.

NMR determines structure, but not geometry of materials. To get struc­ture details, Phillips described methods for observing effect of varying tem­perature to speeding up or slowing down vibration frequencies. As tem­perature is decreased, for example, new spectral peaks appear to confirm a postulated structure estimated by cal­culations and theory.

Beta Particles for Analysis. Low cost, small size of equipment, steadiness of source, and a wide choice of charac­teristic x-rays make beta-excited x-ray sources attractive analytical tools, said Ralph Mûller, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
