Carbon development status

Lee, G.P., and Lee, T.W. (2011) MCFC development status in Korea. Presented at International Workshop on Molten Carbonates and Related Topics, Chimie-ParisTech, Paris, 21-22 March 2011. 

The first edition of this book published in 1986 was well received by the chemistry and materials science communities and this resulted in the paperback edition published in 1989. We are most gratified by this warm reception to the book which has been found useful by students and teachers as well as practising solid state chemists and materials scientists. Since we first wrote the book, there have been many new developments in the various aspects of solid state chemistry covering synthesis, structure elucidation, properties, phenomena and reactivity. The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates created a great sensation and gave a boost to the study of solid state chemistry. Many new types of materials such as the fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have been discovered. We have now revised the book taking into account the new developments so that it reflects the present status of the subject adequately and points to new directions.

By attending this conference, the audience gained an insight into the current status of research and development in academia, national laboratories, industries in the field of metal-hydrogen systems and carbon nanomaterials and had the opportunity to develop collaborations between presenters. 

Recently, a new setup was developed [22] and tested [23] which allows the storage of a single hydrogenlike ion in a trap and the performance of gj measurements with a precision up to a few ppb [24], Up to now, experiments have been carried out on 12C5+ but are planned to be extended to systems up to U91+. The most recent experimental value is presented in detail elsewhere in this volume [25]. The experimental success demands a close look on the theoretical contributions to the g factor of an electron bound in a hydrogenlike system. In the following we will present the current status of these effects for the case of carbon. 

Figure 1 The status of carbon fiber development in 1984 based primarily on product data supplied by manufacturers. The solid line refers to commercial grades of fiber spun from mesophase pitch ( 7) the dashed line refers to an experimental mesophase fiber spun from solvent-extracted pitch (10). Experimental (noncommercial) fibers are indicated by triangular symbols.

Cord development is triggered not only by connection between resources, but also by the nutrient status of the mycelium. Developmental responses in saprotrophic cord formers may be caused by the changes in C/N balance in individual hyphae resulting from a local rise in nutrient levels due to uptake and translocation of nutrients within some hyphae but not others. Development and biomass production are differentially affected by carbon and nitrogen content and the C/N ratio in defined media (Watkinson, 1999 Fig. 7.4). Biomass increased with both sucrose and aspartate, while... 

Investigations into the properties of carbon nanotubes has illuminated many aspects of these fascinating objects. In this review we will concentrate on several of the most extensively studied properties. This field is in a very rapid phase of its growth and it is developing at an increasing rate so that this review is, at best, a snapshot of the status of the field. 

The authors postulated that the mechanism of topiramate-induced acidosis is inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the proximal renal tubule, resulting in impaired proximal bicarbonate reabsorption. Blood gases should be obtained in patients taking topiramate who develop hyperventilation and changes in mental status.
