The results show that the extraction rates of Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn in slag reach 88.3%, 54.1%, 69.6% and 54.7%, respectively, while the extraction rate of Pb is only 0.05% leached with 1.25 mol/L sulfuric acid under the conditions of the ratio of slag to liquid of 100 g/L, 65 ℃ and 120 r/min for 2 h. However, Pb extraction rate from 1.25 mol/L sulfuric acid leached residue reaches as high as 66.5% by using 0.1 mol/L EDTA-Na2 solution. The results indicate that two-step sequential extraction procedure combining 1.25 mol/L sulfuric acid and 0.1 mol/L EDTA-Na2 solution can extensively extract Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn from zinc smelting slag.展开更多

However, visualization of the small bowel during video capsule endoscopy can be impaired by intestinal contents. To improve mucosal visualization, some authors have evaluated different regimens of preparation. There is no consensus about the necessity of intestinal preparation for capsule endoscopy and it should be interesting to develop adequate guidelines to improve its efficacy and tolerability. Moreover, the effect of preparation type (purgative) on intestinal transit time is not clear. Since a bowel preparation cannot defini-tively improve its visibility (and theoretically the yield of the test), it is not routinely recommended.展开更多

Nucleation and growth rates, growth mechanism and particle size distribution of magnesium hydroxide precipitation were involved with. The induction time in unseeded and seeded precipitation of magnesium hydroxide with and without additive EDTA was measured. The conductivity method was used to determine the induction period. Theoretical relations of the induction time and supersaturation ratio for different growth mechanisms and a combined analysis on the induction time were applied to determine nucleation and growth rates. The growth mechanism of magnesium hydroxide precipitation was disclosed by analyzing the experimental data with and without additive. The analysis on induction time indicated that additive EDTA had a significant influence on both nucleation and growth of magnesium hydroxide precipitation. The mechanism underlying the effect of EDTA on crystal growth was 2-dimension nucleation-mediated growth model.展开更多

The FGD byproduct in this novel technique is sodium thiosuffate (Na2S2O3 · 5H2O, Hypo) which can be used as chemical raw material. Optimal operating parameters about this technique have been determined. In order to enhance productive efficiency of sodium thiosulfate, EDTA disodium additive is added into absorption solution to prevent oxidation of sodium thiosulfate. Its optimal concentration is 0. 02 wt. %. The pH value of absorption solution is set in the range of 5 ~ 6.5. Experimental results show that SO2removal efficiency averagely reach 98.72 %. The highest productive efficiency of sodium thiosulfate reaches 83.24 %. The sodium thiosulfate formed during FGD can be separated from saturated absorbent by filtration, concentration and crystallization. The filtrate after separating sodium thiosulfate will be reused as SO2 absorbent by replenishing some fresh sodium sulfide.展开更多

Thus, this research would be performed that arsenic and heavy metals formed difficult to remove in the fine soil were converted to more treatable fractions with chelating agents. Moreover, feasibility study to apply the second remediation targeted to the fine soil inquired. As a result, the chelating agent was decided 50 mM Na2EDTA, and it could develop the complex. In addition, the result of sequential extraction showed that Mn/Fe-oxide fraction, comprised about 28% of amount at first, was decreased about 16%, and organic fraction, consisted approximately 20%, was also decreased about 11%, while exchangeable fraction and carbonate fraction were increased. This result means that the difficult fractions removed could change fractions) by chelating agent. This research can provide the possibility hazardous waste because of difficulty to remediate. the more treatable fractions (exchangeable and carbonate to treat the fine soil, although the fine soil was regarded to展开更多

Experimental res...The electrode process of diethyldithiocarbamate on the surface of pyrrhotite was studied using systematic electrochemical analysis, including cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and galvanostatic. Experimental results show that tetraethylthioram disulphide(TETD) is electrodeposited on pyrrhotite electrode surface in the presence of 1.0×10^-4 mol/L diethyldithiocarbamate when the electrode potential is higher than 0.25 V. The electrochemical kinetics parameters of the electrode process of diethyldithiocarbamate on surface of pyrrhotite are calculated as follows: the exchange current density is 2.48μA/cm^2 , and the transmission coefficient is 0.46. The electrodeposition includes two steps electrochemical reaction. The first reaction is electrochemical adsorption of diethyldithiocarbamatc ion, then the adsorbed ion associates with a diethyldithiocarbamate ion from the solution and forms tetraethylthioram disulphide on the surface of pyrrhotite.展开更多

During these syntheses, varying NaOH and glucose concentrations were applied to explore and pinpoint the active species. It was found that PdCl2/CuO and PdCI2/Cu-Cu2O both catalysts exhibited good thermal stability and morphology. The results of catalytic tests showed that the catalysts prepared with 5 mol/L NaOH show superior catalytic performances because of their lower extent of agglomeration. It is noteworthy that the PdC12/Cu-Cu2O catalysts were the most active, especially the PdCl2/Cu-Cu2O catalyst prepared with 10 mmol glucose and having a higher Cu2O concentration. In Pd(ll)-Cu(II) (PdCl2/CuO) catalysts, there is an induction period, during which Pd(II) is reduced to Pd(0), that must occur prior to electron transfer between Pd and Cu, and this can slow the catalytic reaction. To further pinpoint the active species, PdCl2/Cu-Cu2O catalysts with different Cu2O contents were prepared by controlling the dosages of glucose. The maximum DEC yield obtained with these catalysts was 151.9 mg.g-1.h-1, corresponding to an ethanol conversion of 7.2% and 97.9% DEC selectivity on an ethanol basis. Therefore, it was concluded that Cu+ was the active species in this catalytic system, possibly because a higher proportion of Cu+ reduces the Pd2+ concentration and limits the CO oxidation side reaction, thus increasing DEC selectivity. In addition, Cu+ promotes electron transfer between Pd and Cu without an induction period, which could also promote the catalytic activity.展开更多

Polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) and their mixture were used to inhibit the decomposition of β-2CaO·SiO2 in sodium aluminate solution. The potential of solid-liquid interface and the adsorption mechanism were studied by the methods of Zeta potential measurement and XPS. The results indicate that PEG and PAAS have synergistic effect on the inhibition of secondary reaction. The inhibitory effect is the best when the volume ratio of PAAS to PEG is 1:1 and the total concentration is 12.5 mg/L. PAAS adsorbs on the surface of β-2CaO-SiO2 by the formation of --COOCa coordinate bond, and the negative charge enters into Stem layer, which results in the decrease of particle potential and the obvious change of binding energy of Ca 2p, Si 2p and O Is. PEG only physically adsorbs on the surface ofβ-2CaO·SiO2, and had little effect on particle potential and binding energy of Ca 2p, Si 2p and O Is.展开更多

In this study, the diffusive gradients in thin films(DGT) and conventional extraction methods for metal fractions were used to investigate how effective these methods were at predicting Cd bioavailability to ryegrass(Lolium perenne) and to assess whether these holistic variables were independent of the soil property variables. The influences of soil properties on the predictive capabilities of the different methods were evaluated using multivariate statistics. The Cd concentrations in the shoots and roots of ryegrass correlated more closely with the effective Cd concentration measured by DGT(CE), compared with those with soil total Cd, pore water Cd, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt(Na2EDTA)- and acetic acid(HOAc)-extractable Cd. When soil properties were included in a stepwise multiple linear regression, Cd transfer to L. perenne was negatively influenced by p H and positively influenced by organic matter(OM). The multivariate statistics showed that the adjusted correlation coefficients for the plots involving soil total Cd, pore water Cd, and Na2EDTA- and HOAc-extractable Cd had been significantly improved after considering the influences of soil properties, which suggested that these methods were p H and OM dependent. For CE, the relationship was p H independent or only dependent in strongly acidic soils. These results suggested that the main soil factors affecting bioavailability had the lowest impact on the DGT technique. Therefore, the DGT technique provided significant advantages over conventional methods when assessing Cd bioavailability.展开更多

The crystalline phase, compositions, morphology, microstructure, surface area and band gap energy of the Bi2WO6 are characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy-dispersive spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and absorption spectra. It is found that surfactant has a significant influence on the microstructure and properties of the samples. The surfaetant SDS en- hances the surface area and photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6, while the surfactant PVP has an opposite effect. Under Xe lamp irradiation, the Bi2WO6 sample prepared in the presence of SDS can degrade dye Rhodamine B (RhB) effectively.展开更多
