The crystal structure, morphology, specific surface area and electrochemical performance of the prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic charge/discharge test. The results show that the effects of pH value on the performance of the prepared materials are greatly related to the chelating agents. With salicylic acid or polyacrylic acid as the chelating reagent, the structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the samples are greatly influenced by the pH values. However, the structure of the materials with citric acid as the chelating agent does not change as pH value changes, and the materials own uniform particle size distribution and good electrochemical performance. It delivers an initial discharge capacity of 113.58 mA·h/g at 10C, remaining as high as 108.48 mA·h/g after 900 cycles, with a capacity retention of 95.51%.展开更多

The morphologies of BIT with nanosphere, nanoplate, nanobelt, and nanosheet can be selectively obtained by adjusting the pH value of the reactant. The formation mechanisms of these distinctive morphologies were then discussed based on the structural analysis of samples obtained at different pH values. BIT sample prepared at pH=1 showed the highest photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activities difference for the BIT samples synthesized at different pH values was studied based on their shape, size, and the variation of local structure.展开更多
The heterogeneously copper-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of styrene was studied using copper-doped mesoporous KIT-6(CU-KIT-6_x) prepared via pH adjustment(where x is the pH:1.43,2.27,3.78,3.97,4.24 or 6.62).Variat...The heterogeneously copper-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of styrene was studied using copper-doped mesoporous KIT-6(CU-KIT-6_x) prepared via pH adjustment(where x is the pH:1.43,2.27,3.78,3.97,4.24 or 6.62).Variations in the catalyst structure and morphology with pH values were characterized by X-ray power diffraction,nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis,transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.As the pH value applied during the initial synthesis,the resulting Cu-KIT-6_x exhibited different structural,textural and surface characteristics,especially in terms of specific copper species and copper content At a pH value of 3.78,approximately 4.6 wt%copper(Ⅱ) was successfully incorporated into the framework of the initial KIT-6,in the form of-Cu-O-Si- groups.The catalytic performance of each catalyst was evaluated by following the epoxidation of styrene,employing tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant and CH_3CN as the solvent.A significant styrene conversion of 43.5%with 86.6%selectivity for the desired styrene epoxide was obtained over the Cu-KIT-63.78.A higher Cu content,an ordered cubic laid mesoporous architecture and various specific textural characteristics all combined to endow the Cu-KIT-63.78 with high catalytic activity and good stability.展开更多

The results showed that the adsorption and desorption amounts of NH4+ by purple soils increased with the increase of NH4+ concentration, regardless of soil pH values; the largest adsorption and desorption amounts of NH4+ by purple soil at pH 6.0 were 10.3 and 7.96 mg/g, respectively; the largest adsorp- tion and desorption amounts of NH4+ by purple soil at pH 7.2 were 12.8 and 4.62 mg/g, respectively; the largest adsorption and desorption amounts of NH4+ by purple soil at pH 8.0 were 13.5 and 2.23 mg/g, respectively. The isothermal adsorption ki- netics of NH4+ by purple soils fits the Freundlich equation best (R〉0.95). This study shows that the adsorption of NH4+ by purple soils with different pH values is multi- molecular layer uneven surface adsorption.展开更多

The results indicate that the extracellular protein is always more than the extracellular polysaccharide secreted by attached cells on the chalcopyrite, on the contrary, and is always less than the extracellular polysaccharide secreted by free cells in the solution at bacterial adaptive phase, logarithmic phase and stationary phase whenever pH value is at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5; free cells are mainly through the secretion of extracellular polysaccharide rather than the extracellular protein to fight against disadvantageous solution environment, such as high concentration of metal ions and unsuitable pH solution; both amounts of polysaccharide and protein secreted by attached cells are mainly positively related to the solution acidity rather than the total concentration of soluble metal ions. The experimental results imply that bacteria are mainly through secreting more extracellular polysaccharide to fight against disadvantageous environment and the extracellular protein perhaps plays an important role in oxidation?reduction reactions in the bioleaching system.展开更多

The corrosion rates, morphologies, and compositions of the corrosion products were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results indicate that the order of corrosion rates in Na 2 SO 4 solutions with various pH values is pH 2pH 4pH 7pH 9pH 12. The corrosion rates in acidic solutions are higher than those in alkaline solutions, and the corrosion products are mainly magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) and hydrated sulphate pickeringite (MgAl 2 (SO 4 ) 4 ·22H 2 O). The results also indicate that the solution pH can influence the corrosion rate and morphology of corrosion products. Chloride ions and sulphate ions have different pitting initiation time.展开更多

[Method] Soil nutrients of 43 samples from tobacco-growing areas in Dali City were analyzed.[Results] The results showed that average pH value of tobacco-planting soil in Dali City was 6.52, soil samples which suited for flue-cured tobacco cultivation accounted for 72.09% of total soil samples. In four soil types of tobacco-growing areas, the pH values in a descending order were as follows: alluvial soil〉 paddy soil 〉purple soil〉 red soil. At the altitude range of 1 780-2 200 m, soil pH values showed a gradual decreasing trend. The average contents of soil organic matters were relatively abundant and generally suited for high-quality tobacco cultivation; the average contents of soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium were generally at medium and abundant level, however,their rations under the medium level in some tobacco-growing areas were 6.98%,11.63%, 2.33% and 4.65%, respectively; moreover, soil with lower available potassium contents occupied a large proportion, namely 58.14%. [Conclusion] Soil pH values had significant correlation with exchangeable magnesium and exchangeable magnesium, however, they had no significant correlation with other soil nutrients.展开更多
