The results showed that after RRA treatment, interrupted η phases at grain boundaries and slightly wide precipitate free zones could decrease SCC susceptibility of the alloy. Lots of reticular dislocations appeared in deformation process could prevent hydrogen induced cracking, and then SCC. Abundance transgranular dispersive η' phases separated out again promoted tensile strength to 759.4 MPa. The fracture ways of the specimens were dimple fracture in dry air and sub-cleavage fracture in 3.5% NaCl solution.展开更多

The maximum adsorption capacity of the samples was determined based on the adsorption isotherms with different adsorbent doses at 298,318 and 338 K. The fittings of the temperature-dependent isotherms yield ΔrGm^θ=-34.1 kJ/mol,ΔrHm^θ-36.9 kJ/mol and ΔrSm^θ=-9.67 J/mol·K. The as-prepared Y2 Mo4 O15 has a very large maximum adsorption capacity(i.e., 198 mg/g) for MB at room temperature, and this value is only less than that of amorphous hardwood powder. Notably, 80 mg of adsorbent is able to completely decolorize 250 mL of 30 mg/L MB aqueous solution. The kinetic parameters of the adsorption process were obtained from the temperature-dependent adsorption isotherm(i.e., E1=26.9 kJ/mol and E1 = 63.8 kJ/mol). The results of adsorption kinetics show that it is a pseudo-second-order reaction. The mechanism of the high selectivity and the large adsorption capacity is discussed based on competitive ion(CI) experiments and coordination theory.展开更多
