The effect of ammonium polyphosphate （APP） as an additive of RT on the pyrolysis behavior and CO evolution was studied, emphasizing the role of heating velocity in reducing CO delivery of the mainstream smoke by APP. Thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） was employed to investigate the influence of APP on RT thermal behavior. Slow and flash pyrolysis of RT were compared to discuss the role of heating rate in decreasing CO by APP. TGA results demonstrated that, in dependence on APP concentration, APP influenced exothermal amount and weight loss rate during RT thermal decomposition, promoted the formation of char and retarded the thermal decomposition of RT. In addition, APP had a considerable influence on the evolution of gaseous products during thermal decomposition of RT. Both CO delivery per cigarette and that per puff in the smoking process were significantly reduced in dependence on APP content in RT. Comparative analysis of CO evolution patterns in the flash and slow pyrolysis elucidated that heating rate played a key role in decreasing CO evolution by APP. The results suggest that APP is a potential burning additive for controlling CO delivery in mainstream smoke of RT.展开更多

The porous Ti-15 Mo alloys are dominated by β-Ti phase with a little α-Ti phase, and the proportion of α and β phase has no significant difference as the NH4HCO3 content increases. The porosities and the average pore sizes of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloys increase with increase of the contents of NH4HCO3, while all of the compressive strength, elastic modulus and bending strength decrease. However, the compressive strength, bending strength and the elastic modulus are higher or close to those of natural bone. The surface of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloy was further modified by hydrothermal treatment, after which Na2Ti6O13 layers with needle and flake-like clusters were formed on the outer and inner surface of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloy. The hydrothermally treated porous Ti-15 Mo alloy is completely covered by the Ca-deficient apatite layers after immersed in SBF solution for 14 d, indicating that it possesses high apatiteforming ability and bioactivity. These results demonstrate that the hydrothermally treated microwave sintered porous Ti-15 Mo alloys could be a promising candidate as the bone implant.展开更多
