Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to characterize the morphology and structure of the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads. The effects of pH and the initial concentration of the metal ions on Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption by the beads were investigated. The optimal pH values for Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption are 4.0 and 5.5, respectively. The optimal initial concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are 200 mg/L and 25 mg/L, correspondingly, and the removal efficiencies are 94.2% and 80%,respectively. The sorption mechanism is that the heavy metal ions accessed the beads firstly due to the large surface area, combinedwith OH?, and then precipitated with phosphate radical, which was proven by FTIR and XRD. The sorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) isfitted to Langmuir isotherm model with R2 values of 0.9957 and 0.988, respectively. The sorption capacities of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are263.16 mg/g and 82.64 mg/g, respectively. The results indicate that the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads could be appliedto treating Pb(II)/Cd(II)-containing wastewater and it could be implied that the synthesized beads also could be used as a kind of soil ameliorant for remediation of the heavy metal contaminated paddy soil.展开更多

Experimental results are presented, including primary and higher order dendrite arm spacings 21, 22, 23 and dendrite tip radius R of primary NisSn2 phase. Comparisons between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results show that, for the primary dendrites, 21=335.882v-0.21, which is in agreement with the Kurz-Fisher model; for the secondary dendrites, λ2=44.957v-0.277, which is consistent with the Bouchard-Kirkaldy model; for the tertiary dendrites, λ3=40.512v-0.274; for the dendrite tip radius, R=22.7v-0.36. The experimental results also show that the 21/22 changes greatly with increasing growth rate while the 21/23 has no significant change, indicating that tertiary dendrite arms have a more similar growth characteristics to primary dendrites compared with secondary dendrites. The λ1/R ranges from 2 to 2.3 with the increase of growth rate. Key words： Sn-Ni alloy; directional solidification; dendrite arm spacing; dendrite tip radius展开更多
