Tb(III) Transport in Dispersion Supported Liquid Membrane System with D2EHPA as Carrier in Kerosene

The transport of Tb（III） in dispersion supported liquid membrane（DSLM） with polyvinylidene fluoride membrane（PVDF） as the support and dispersion solution including HCl solution as the stripping solution and di（2-ethylhexyl） phosphoric acid（D2EHPA） dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution, has been studied. The effects of pH value, initial concentration of Tb（III） and different ionic strength in the feed phase, volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution, concentration of HCl solution, concentration of carrier, different stripping agents in the dispersion phase on the transport of Tb（III） have also been investigated, respectively. As a result, the optimum transport conditions of Tb（III） were obtained, i.e., the concentration of HCl solution was 4.0 mol/L, the concentration of D2EHPA was 0.16 mol/L, the volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution was 30：30 in the dispersion phase and pH value was 4.5 in the feed phase. Ionic strength had no obvious effect on the transport of Tb（III）. Under the optimum conditions, the transport percentage of Tb（III） was up to 96.1% in a transport time of 35 min when the initial concentration of Tb（IIl） was 1.0× 10 -4 mol/L. The diffusion coefficient of Tb（III） in the membrane and the thickness of diffusion layer between feed phase and membrane phase were obtained and the values were 1.82×10 -8 m2/s and 5.61 um, respectively. The calculated results were in good agreement with the literature data.

Study on transport of Dy(Ⅲ) by dispersion supported liquid membrane

The transport of Dy（III） through a dispersion supported liquid membrane （DSLM） consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride membrane （PVDF） as the liquid membrane support and dispersion solution including HCI solution as the stripping solution and 2-ethyl hexyl phosphonic acid-mono-2-ethyl hexyl ester （PC-88A） dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution, was studied. The effects of pH value, initial concentration of Dy（III） and different ionic strength in the feed phase, volume ratio of membrane solution and stripping solution, concentration of HCl solution, concentration of carrier, different stripping agents in the dispersion phase on transport of Dy（III） were also investigated, respectively. As a result, when the concentration of HCI solution was 4.0 mol/L, concentration of PC-88A was 0.10 mol/L, and volume ratio of membrane solution and stripping solution was 40：20 in the dispersion phase, and pH value was 5.0 in the feed phase, the transport effect of Dy（III） was the best. Ionic strength had no obvious effect on transport of Dy（III）. Under the optimum condition studied, when initial concentration of Dy（III） was 0.8×10^-4 mol/L, the transport rate of Dy（III） was up to 96.2% during the transport time of 95 rain. The kinetic equation was developed in terms of the law of mass diffusion and the theory of interface chemistry. The diffusion coefficient of Dy（III） in the membrane and the thickness of diffusion layer between feed phase and membrane phase were obtained and the values were 1.99×10^-7 m^2/s and 15.97 μm, respectively. The results were in good agreement with experimental results.

Catalytic methanation of syngas over Ni-based catalysts with different supports

Co-precipitation method was selected for the preparation of Ni/Al_2O_3, Ni/ZrO_2 and Ni/CeO_2 catalysts, and their performances in methanation were investigated in this study. The structure and surface properties of these catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, H_2-TPD, TEM and H_2-TPR. The results showed that the catalytic activity at low temperature followed the order: Ni/Al_2O_3>Ni/ZrO_2>Ni/CeO_2. Ni/Al_2O_3 catalyst presented the best catalytic performance with the highest CH_4 selectivity of 94.5%. The characterization results indicated that the dispersion of the active component Ni was the main factor affecting the catalytic activity and the one with higher dispersion gave better performance.

The effects ofpH value, initial concentration of Eu（III） and different ionic strengths in the feed phase, volume ratio of membrane solution and stripping solution, concentration of HNO3 solution, concentration of carrier, different stripping agents in the dispersion phase on the separation of Eu（III） were also investigated, respectively. As a result, the optimum separation conditions of Eu（III） were obtained as the concentration of HNO3 solution was 4.00 mol/L, concentration of D2EHPA was 0.160 mol/L, and volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution was 30：30 in the dispersion phase, and pH value was 5.00 in the feed phase. Ionic strength had no obvious effect on the separation of Eu（III）. Under the optimum conditions studied, when initial concentration of Eu（III） was 1.00× 10^-4 mol/L, the separation rate of Eu（III） was up to 94.2% during the separation period of 35 min. The kinetic equation was developed in terms of the law of mass diffusion and the theory of interface chemistry. The results were in good agreement with the literature data.

Relection of elastic waves at the elastically supported boundary of a couple stress elastic half-space

The relection elastic waves at the elastically supported boundary of a couple stress elastic half-space are studied in this paper. Different from the classical elastic solid, there are three kinds of elastic waves in the couple stress elastic solid, and two of them are dispersive. The boundary conditions of a couple stress elastic half-space include the couple stress vector and the rotation vector which disappear in the classical elastic solids. These boundary conditions are used to obtain a linear algebraic equation set, from which the amplitude ratios of relection waves to the incident wave can be determined. Then, the relection coeficients in terms of energy lux ratios are calculated numerically, and the normal energy lux conservation is used to validate the numerical results. Based on these numerical results,the inluences of the boundary parameters, which relect the mechanical behavior of elastic support, on the relection energy partition are discussed. Both the incident longitudinal wave（the P wave） and incident transverse wave（the SV wave） are considered.
