The cell volume expansion of hexagonal structure was about 12 % after coating with 11 % Ni on the alloy Surface,When this alloy was mixed with Co powder. the discharge capacity and the utilization efficiency of the hydrogen storage alloy increased. When the alloy was coated with 11 wt-% Ni and also mixed with 10 wt-% Co powder. the capacity decay for a small sealed cylindrical cell (AA size. 1 Ah) was only about 4 % after 200 cycles展开更多

The effects of feed pH, temperature, agitation rate and time on the extraction of rare earths, as well as stripping agent composition and concentration, phase ratio on the stripping were investigated. In addition, the extraction isotherm was determined. The pilot plant test results showed that the extraction of rare earths reached 99.98% after a five-stage counter current extraction. The mixed rare earths oxalates with the 99.77% purity of rare earth elements and impurity content less than 0.05% were obtained by the addition of oxalic acids in loaded strip liquors. The extractant exhibited good selectivity of rare earths over base metals of iron, nickel, copper and manganese.展开更多
