Effects of Magnesium and Ferric Ions on Crystallization of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate Under the Simulated Conditions of Wet Flue-gas Desulfurization

The influences of magnesium and ferric ions in their different ratios on the rate of gypsum crystallization were studied under the conditions similar to those of wet flue-gas desulfurization（WFGD）. The results show that addition of both Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ increased induction time and decreased the growth efficiency up to 50% compared with the baseline（without impurities） depending on the concentration and the type of impurity. The effects of Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ on the surface energy and the rate of nucleation were estimated by employing the classical nucleation theory. The surface energy decreased by 8% and 14% with the addition of 0.02 mol/L magnesium or ferric ions, respectively, compared to the baseline. Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ made the growth rate of the （020）, （021） and （040） faces of gypsum crystal a much greater reduction, which leads to the formation of needle crystals compared to the baseline which favors the formation of plate or flakes. Furthermore, an edge detection program was developed to quantify the effects of impurities on the filtration rate of gypsum product. The results show that the inhibition efficiency of the presence of 0.02 mol/L Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ on the filtration rate of gypsum crystal ranges from 22% to 39%.

Investigation on Vibrational Spectra and Structures of 4-Mercaptopyridine Monomer and Its Dihydrate

The optimized molecular structures and vibrational frequencies of 4-mercaptopyridine（4MPY） monomer and its dihydrate were studied by means of the density functional theory（ DFT）, viz. B3LYP method with the 6-311 ＋ ＋ G （d,p） basis set. On the basis of the calculations, the assignments of the vibrational spectra of the monomer and the dihydrate were performed, and so were investigated the changes in the structure and the vibrational spectrum of the di- hydrate as well as the intermolecular force resulting in the formation of the dihydrate. The calculated results show that each of the water molecule planes is vertical to the pyridine ring plane in the dihydrate that is formed via the H-bonds between 4MPY and water molecules. Furthermore, the structure and the vibrational spectrum of 4MPY can be considerably affected by the water molecules.

Synthesis of Crystalline Hydroxyapatite from CaCO_3 and CaHPO_4·2H_2O by Mechanochemical Method

The mixture of CaHPO 4·2H 2O and CaCO 3 was ground in an aqueous system under appropriate conditions to investigate the mechanochemical reaction for the synthesis of crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. Hydroxyapatite of high crystallinity powder including trace Ca 10 (PO 4) 6CO 3(OH) and Ca 9HPO 4(PO 4) 6OH can be synthesized by mechanical activation without further thermal treatment at a high temperature. The synthesis reaction during the grinding process was almost completed within 1h. The as-ground powder exhibits a particle distribution of 20-100nm in size with a spherical or rodlike morphology. The composition and degree of crystallinity of the mechanochemical synthesized hydroxyapatite powders were coincident with the cement-type hydroxyapatite.

Influence of surface treatment of carbon fiberson electrochemical crystallization of calcium phosphate

Electrodeposition technique was used to coat calcium phosphate on carbon fiber which can be used to reinforce hydroxyapatite. The differences between fibers treated with and without nitric acid in electrodeposition were evaluated. The X-ray diffractometry results show that CaHPO4·2H2O is obtained as the kind of calcium phosphate coating on carbon fiber. The scanning electron microscopy photographs and deposit kinetic curve indicate that the influences of the functional group attained by nitric acid treatment, the crystal morphology and crystallization of the coating layers on the fiber with and without treatment rate are obviously different. The functional group, especially the acidic group, can act as nucleation centers of electrochemical crystallization.

Preparation of High Percentage α-Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate via a Hydrothermal Method

α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-HH) is known to be suitable for application as bone void filler. High percentage of α-HH is obviously needed for medical applications, especially for implantation. Three commercially available calcium sulfate dihydrates (DH, CaSO4·2H2O) with different sizes and surface morphologies were used as starting materials to synthesize high percentage α-HH via a hydrothermal method. The median particle sizes of the three types of DH were 946.7 μm, 162.4 μm and 62.4 μm, respectively. They were named as DH-L, DH-M and DH-S in this paper. The particle size distribution, morphology and phase composition of the raw materials were evaluated before synthesis. SEM results revealed that DH-L consisted of irregular large particles, while DH-M and DH-S were composed of plate-like particles with some small ones. High percentage HH can be obtained with proper synthesis parameters by hydrothermal method, specifically, 105 °C/90 min for DH-L (achieving 98.8% HH), 105°C/30 min for DH-M (achieving 96.7% HH) and 100°C/45 min for DH-S (achieving 98.4% HH). All the synthesized HH were hexagonal columns, demonstrating that they were α-phase HH. The particle size and morphology of starting material (DH) have significant influences on not only the rate of phase transition but also the morphology of the synthesized α-HH. Calcium sulfate dihydrate cements were prepared by the synthesized α-HH. The highest compressive strength of calcium sulfate dihydrate cement was 17.2 MPa. The results show that the preparation of high percentage α-HH is feasible via a hydrothermal method and the process can be further scaled up to industrial scale production.

Differences in Acute Phase Reactants between Gout and Pseudogout

Objectives: To define clinical differences in the acute phase response and serum acute phase reactants between gout, pseudogout and crystal-induced arthritis in the presence of non-articular infections (CAI). Patients and Methods: Eleven patients with definite gout, 12 patients with pseudogout and 5 patients with CIA were included in the study. Results: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was significantly different between gout (68.2 ± 49.9 mm/Hr) and CIA (113.8 ± 37.2 mm/Hr) but not between gout and pseudogout (83.9 ± 45.6 mm/Hr) or between pseudogout and CIA. The C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly increased between gout (10.1 ± 7.9 mg/dL) and pseudogout (18.9 ± 9.8 mg/dL), gout and CIA (36.5 ± 12.4 mg/dL) as well as between pseudogout and CIA. The peripheral white cell count was significantly different between gout (9.27 ± 3.7 k/μL) and CIA (16.5 ± 6.8 k/μL), and between pseudogout (8.9 ± 3.2 k/μL) and CIA. Conclusions: Measurement of ESR and CRP are helpful in crystal-induced arthritis. The CRP has more discriminating utility than the ESR in distinguishing between gout, pseudogout and CIA. Peripheral wbc is most useful for differentiating crystal-induced arthritis from CIA.

Application of silver-based dihydric alcohol to the extraction of methyl linolenate with high extractability and stability replacing ionic liquids

A novel silver-based dihydric alcohol extractant was substituted for ionic liquids to enrich methyl linolenate(C18-3)from tallow seed oil methyl ester in this study.The interactions among dihydric alcohol,Ag(I)and C18-3 were explored by FT-IR spectroscopy.The effects of dihydric alcohol structure,carrier Ag(I)concentration,temperature and initial feed concentration on extraction yield and selectivity were reported.The good extraction performance was achieved by 1,4-butanediol containing AgBF4.The complexation of Ag(I)with C18-3 was dominant in extraction operation rather than physical partition.Furthermore,a multi-step reverse extraction method was proposed to obtain C18-3 product and regenerate the extractant.1-Hexene as the stripping phase can facilitate C18-3 reverse extraction.The content of C18-3 in the product was up to 93.36%,and the yield was 73.76%.This work opened a new route for the utilization of the dihydric alcohol properties to manipulate the carrier efficiency for extracting unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters at a lower cost.

Influence of dihydric alcohols on color performance of reactive dye inks
