Effect of substrate orientations on the electrochemical and localized corrosion behavior of a quad-layer Al alloy composite

Electrochemical and localized corrosion behavior of a 4045/7072/3003 M/4045 Al alloy composite in 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution was investigated from cross-sectional and plane directions by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,polarization curves,and high-resolution microscopic examination.Plane directions showed higher corrosion resistance than the cross-sectional surface,with almost all localized corrosion initiated from Si-containing inclusions.The cross-section showed a complex galvanic effect among the four layers,the galvanic coupling between 4045/7072 accelerated the dissolution of 7072 because 7072 served as the anode,however,the galvanic coupling between 3003 M/4045 protected 4045 from corrosion,indicating that 3003 M served as the anode.

多相体系的酸碱解离平衡:气相的影响

酸碱平衡是化学教学中十分重要的内容,而在目前的教学中仅仅描述了均相溶液中的酸碱解离与pH缓冲问题,并未描述多相体系中气相成分对体系酸碱解离与pH缓冲的影响。针对该问题,本文以典型的气溶胶多相体系为例,通过对多相缓冲理论和有效解离常数pK_(a)^(*)的分析,讨论了多相体系中组分挥发性和吸湿性对体系酸碱平衡的影响,进而开拓学生思维,并为多相体系酸碱平衡的教学提供新范例。

Preferential oxidation of CO in excess H_2 over CeO_2/CuO catalyst:Effect of calcination temperature

Different from the classical configuration CuO/CeO2 catalyst,the inverse configuration CeO2 /CuO catalyst （atomic ratio of Ce/Cu=10/100） was prepared by impregnation method.Five calcination temperatures were selected to investigate the interaction between CeO2 and CuO support.It is found that as calcination temperature increased from 500 to 900 C,sintering of CeO2 particles on the support occurred together with the diffusion of a portion of Ce 4＋ ions into CuO crystals,forming solid solution.Formation of interface complex Ce-O-Cu was suggested by TPR measurements.The catalyst calcined at 700 C gives the highest activity for preferential oxidation of CO in excess H2 stream.

Theoretical and numerical research of wire array Z-pinch and dynamic hohlraum at IAPCM

Dense Z-pinch plasmas are powerful and energy-efficient laboratory sources of X-rays,and show the possibility to drive inertial confinement fusion(ICF).Recent advances in wire-array Z-pinch and Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum(ZPDH)researches at the Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics are presented in this paper.Models are setup to study different physical processes.A full circuit model(FCM)was used to study the coupling between Z-pinch implosion and generator discharge.A mass injection model with azimuthal modulation was setup to simulate the wire-array plasma initiation,and the two-dimensional MHD code MARED was developed to investigate the Z-pinch implosion,MRT instability,stagnation and radiation.Implosions of nested and quasi-spherical wire arrays were also investigated theoretically and numerically.Key processes of ZPDH,such as the arrayefoam interaction,formation of the hohlraum radiation,as well as the following capsule ablation and implosion,were analyzed with different radiation magneto-hydrodynamics(RMHD)codes.An integrated 2D RMHD simulation of dynamic hohlraum driven capsule implosion provides us the physical insights of wire-array plasma acceleration,shock generation and propagation,hohlraum formation,radiation ablation,and fuel compression.

Preferential oxidation of CO in excess H_2 over the CeO_2/CuO catalyst: Effect of initial support

Three series of CeO2/CuO samples were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, temperatureprogrammed reduction （TPR）, XPS and TEM techniques. In comparison with the samples prepared with CuO as initial support, the samples with Cu（OH）2 as initial support have higher reducibilities and smaller relative TPR peak areas, and also larger specific surface areas at calcina- tion temperatures of 400 ℃--600 ℃. As a result, Cu（OH）2 is better than CuO as initial support for preferential oxidation of CO in excess H2 （CO-PROX）. The best catalytic performance was achieved on the sample calcined at 600 ℃ and with an atomic ratio of Ce/Cu at 40%. XPS analyses indicate that more interface linkages Ce-O-Cu could be formed when it was calcined at 600 ℃. And the atomic ratio of Ce/Cu at 40% led to a proper reducibility for the sample as illustrated by the TPR measurements.

Preparation and Characterization of the Modified Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Hollow Fibre Microfiltration Membrane

A novel thermally induced graft polymerization technique was used to modify a polyvinylidene fluoride （PVDF） hollow fibre microfiltration membrane. An artificial neural network （ANN） was applied to optimize the prepared condition of the membrane. The optimized dosing of acrylic acid （AA）, acrylamide （AM）, N, N＇- methylenebisacrylamide （NMBA） and potassium persulphate （KSP） designed by ANN was that AA was 40.63 ml/L; AM acted as 6.25 g/L; NMBA was 1.72 g/L and KSP was 1.5 g/L, respectively. The thermal stability of the PVDF modified hollow fibre membrane （PVDF-PAA） was investigated by thermogravimetric （TG） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） analysis. The polycrystallinity of the PVDF-PAA membrane was evaluated by X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis. The complex formation of the modified membrane was ascertained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. The morphology of the PVDF-PAA membrane was studied by environmental scanning electron microscopy （ESEM）. The surface compositions of the membrane were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The adsorption capacity of Cu^2＋ ion on the PVDF-PAA hollow fibre membrane was also investigated.

Effects of Austenite Stabilization on the Onset of Martensite Transformation in T91 Steel

The influences of thermal stabilization of austenitic on the onset temperature for a martensite transformation in T91 ferritic heat-resistant steel were studied by high-resolution differential dilatometer. The phase transformation kinetic information was obtained by adopting lever rule from the recorded dilatometric curves. The results show that an inverse stabilization, featured by the damage of ＂the atmosphere of carbon atoms＂ and the increase of the starting temperature for martensite transformation takes place when the T91 ferritic steel is isothermally treated above the Ms point, and it becomes strong with increasing the holding time. While the continued temperature for martensite transformation decreases gradually when isothermally holding at a temperature below Ms point. The observed inverse stabilization behavior could be attributed to the relatively high temperature of Ms point in the explored T91 ferritic heat-resistant steel.

Effect of Interlayers on Microstructure and Properties of 2205/Q235B Duplex Stainless Steel Clad Plate

In this research,2205/Q235 B clad plates were prepared by a vacuum hot rolling composite process.The effects of adding Fe,Ni,and Nb interlayers on the bonding interface structures and the shear strengths of the clad steel plates were studied.The results showed that 2205 duplex stainless steel and the three interlayers produced a large amount of plastic deformation and low-angle boundaries,and the main structures were the recrystallized and deformed grains.There were many recrystallized grains in the microstructure of the Q235 B low-carbon steel due to the low deformation in the rolling process.The Fe interlayer had better wettability with the two kinds of steel,but the lower strength led to the reduction of shear strength by about14 MPa compared with the original clad steel plate.The C element in the Q235 B low-carbon steel easily diffused into the Fe interlayer,and the clad steel plate attained a poor corrosion resistance because a large decarburization area was formed.The Nb interlayer reacted with the Mo element in the 2205 duplex stainless steel to form an Nb-Mo binary alloy,which generated long-banded ferrite.The decarburization area was also produced because the Nb reacted with the C element in the Q235 B to form hard and brittle NbCx.As a result,the shear strength was significantly reduced by about 282 MPa,and the corrosion resistance of the bonding surface was deteriorated.The Ni interlayer did not react with the alloy elements in both sides,and therefore effectively prevented element diffusion and improved the corrosion resistance of the bonding surface.Due to the low strength of the Ni interlayer and the increased number of bonding surfaces of the clad steel plates,the shear strength was reduced to some extent(about 40 MPa),but it still met the engineering application standards.

Effects of supports and combined process on hydrogen purification over nickel supported catalysts

Hydrogen purification must be done to meet the different purposes of hydrogen utilization.In the present work,it is confirmed that the catalyst Ni/CeO2 has the highest activity for total methanation(Total MET) of CO and CO2,and is thus most suitable for hydrogen purification for ammonia synthesis.While,the catalyst Ni/ZrO2 appears the best one for selective methanation of CO(CO-SMET) in the H2-rich gas to produce clean fuel for proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC).In spite of this,the catalyst Ni/ZrO2 without adding chlorine ions as promoter is not yet capable of removing the CO in the reformate gas to below 10 ppm in a wide reaction temperature range by the way of CO-SMET.Adding chlorine ions as promoter is indeed not favorable for practical application due to its gradual loss in the catalytic reaction as proved in our previous work.Therefore,a step to decrease CO2 concentration(called as de-CO2 step) is suggested to be set prior to the CO-SMET step in this work.It is proved that such combination of de-CO2 step and CO-SMET step is efficient to achieve a deep removal of CO to below 10 ppm with a high selectivity more than 50% in a wide reaction temperature range of 220-280℃over the catalyst Ni/ZrO2 without adding chlorine ions as promoter.The combined process has potential for practical application,at least in the large-scale power plant of PEMFC.
