Deep purification of As(V)in drinking water by silica gel loaded with FeOOH and MnO_(2)

For deep purification of As(V)from drinking water by adsorption,two adsorbents S-FeOOH and S-MnO_(2) were successfully synthesized by loading FeOOH and MnO_(2) nanoparticles onto silica gel in situ.Characterization of the adsorbents implied that S-FeOOH and S-MnO_(2) with large particle size(diameter of 150−250μm)still had high specific surface areas(357.0 and 334.6 m^(2)/g)due to their specific amorphous and porous structure.In batch experiments,the influences of pH,contact time,adsorbent dosage,and temperature on the adsorption were investigated.Comparing with other adsorbents reported,the synthesized adsorbents in this study,especially S-FeOOH,showed good performance for As(V)removal in a wide pH(2−12)and temperature(25−65℃)range.The residual As(V)concentration after S-FeOOH treatment was around 0.01 mg/L,which met the drinking water standard.The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model,and the adsorption equilibrium was reached within 5 min.The equilibrium adsorption data of S-FeOOH can be well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm,while that of S-MnO_(2) followed Freundlich model,which indicated their different adsorption mechanisms.The results show that S-FeOOH is superior to S-MnO_(2) in eliminating As(V),and S-FeOOH could be used as a promising adsorbent for the deep purification of As(V)in drinking water.

Single-step synthesis of magnetic chitosan composites and application for chromate(Cr(Ⅵ))removal

Magnetic chitosan composites(Fe3O4@chitosan) were synthesized in one single-step, characterized and applied in Cr(VI) removal from water. With the increase of loading proportion of chitosan, Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@chitosan composites increased from 10.771 to 21.040 mg/g. The optimum adsorption capacities of Cr(VI) on Fe3O4@chitosan-3 were found in a pH range of 3.0-5.0. Kinetic study results show that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order model, indicating that the rate-limiting step in the adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) involves chemisorptions. Moreover, FT-IR spectra analysis confirms that the amine and hydroxyl groups of chitosan are predominantly responsible for binding. Results from this work demonstrate that the prepared Fe3O4@chitosan composites possess great potential in Cr(Ⅵ) removal from contaminated water.

Analysis of the Power System from an Electron Beam Accelerator and the Correlation with the Theoretical Dosimetry for Radiation Processing

Dynamitron DC1500/25/04 type EBA （Electron beam accelerator）, model JOB 188, was manufactured by IBA Industrial （Radiation Dynamics, Inc.） and installed at IPEN-CNEN/SP, in 1978. The technical specifications of the EBA are： energy 0.5 to 1.5 MeV; beam current： 0.3 to 25.0 mA; beam scanning： 60 to 120 cm; beam width： 25.4 mm and frequency： 100 Hz. Nowadays, this accelerator has been used for innumerable applications, such as： For sterilization of medical, pharmaceutical and biological products, treatment of industrial and domestic effluents and sludge, preservation and disinfestations of foods and agricultural products. Other important application are lignocellulosic material irradiation as a pre-treatment to produce ethanol bio-fuel, decontamination of pesticide packing, solid residues remediation, organic compounds removal from wastewater, treatment of effluent from petroleum production units, crosslinking of foams, wires and electric cables. Electron accelerator JOB 188 is, also, very important composite and nanocomposite materials and carbon fibers irradiation, irradiated grafting ion-exchange membranes for fuel cells application, natural polymers and multilayer packages irradiation and biodegradable blends production. The energy of the electron beam is calculated as a function of the current in the accelerator high-voltage divisor, taking into account the thickness and density of the material to be irradiated. This energy is calculated considering the electron through the entire material and the distance from the titanium foil window, so that the absorbed doses at the points of entrance and exit are equivalent on the material. The dose is directly proportional to the beam current and the exposure time of the material under the electron beam and inversely proportional to the scan width. The aim of this paper is to analyze the power system parameters of the EBA Dynamitron DC 1500/25/04, such as, voltage and RMS （Root-mean-square） current in the oscillator system, high voltage generator and waveform. For this purpose software developed in the Radiation Technology Center at IPEN/CNEN-SP to simulate the energy efficiency of this industrial accelerator. Finally, it is also targeted to compare theoretical dosimetry using parameters of energy and beam current with data from the accelerator power system. This knowledge and technology will be very useful and essential for the control system upgrade of EBA, mainly Dynamitron DC 1500/25/04 taking into consideration that radiation processing technology for industrial and environmental applications has been developed and used worldwide.

Influence of Al addition on microstructures of Cu-B alloys and Cu-ZrB2 composites

The influence of Al addition on the microstructure of Cu-B alloys and Cu-ZrB2 composites was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and first-principles calculation. The results show that the eutectic B in Cu-B alloys can be modified by Al from coarse needles to fine fibrous structure and primary B will form in hypoeutectic Cu-B alloys. As for Cu-ZrB2 composites, Al can significantly refine and modify the morphology of ZrB2 as well as improve its distribution, which should be due to its selective adsorption on ZrB2 surfaces. The first-principles calculation results indicate that Al is preferentially adsobed on ZrB2■, then on ZrB2■, and finally on ZrB2(0001). As a result, smaller sized ZrB2 with a polyhedron-like, even nearly sphere-like morphology, can form. Due to Al addition, the hardness of Cu-ZrB2 composites is greatly enhanced, but the electrical conductivity of the composites is seriously reduced.

Application of Biomaterials in Cardiac Repair and Regeneration

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death throughout the world. The demand for new thera- peutic interventions is increasing. Although pharmacological and surgical interventions dramatically improve the quality of life of cardiovascular disease patients, cheaper and less invasive approaches are always preferable. Biomaterials, both natural and synthetic, exhibit great potential in cardiac repair and regeneration, either as a carrier for drug delivery or as an extracellular matrix substitute scaffold. In this review, we discuss the current treatment options for several cardiovascular diseases, as well as types of biomaterials that have been investigated as potential therapeutic interventions for said diseases. We especially highlight investigations into the possible use of conductive polymers for correcting ischemic heart disease-induced conduction abnormalities, and the generation of biological pacemakers to im- orove the conduction oathwav in heart block.

Synthesis and Application of a Zeolite-containing Composite Material Made from Spent FCC Catalyst

Novel composite material with a wide pore distribution was synthesized by an in situ technique using spent FCC catalyst as raw material. The characterization results indicated that the composite material contained 56.7% of zeolite Y and exhibited a much larger specific surface area and pore volume as well as strong hydrothermal stability. Fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) catalyst was prepared based on the composite material. The results indicated that the as-prepared catalyst possessed a unique pore structure that was advantageous to the diffusion-controlled reactions. In addition, the attrition resistance, activity and hydrothermal stability of the studied catalyst were superior to those of the reference catalyst. The catalyst also exhibited excellent nickel and vanadium passivation performance, strong bottoms upgrading selectivity, and better gasoline and coke selectivity. In comparison to the reference catalyst, the yields of the gasoline and light oil increased by 1.61 and 1.31 percentage points, respectively, and the coke yield decreased by 0.22 percentage points, and the olefin content in the produced gasoline reduced by 2.51 percentage points, with the research octane number increased by 0.7 unit.

The morphological characteristics and phase transformation of the combusted powder and the Fe-Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM.Porous Fe-Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposites with crystallite size below 100 nm were obtained after reduction. The morphology, phases and magnetic property of Fe-Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposites reduced at different temperatures were investigated. The Fe-Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite reduced at 900 °C has the maximum saturation magnetization and the minimum coercivity values of 167.41 A/(m2·kg)and 3.11 k A/m, respectively.

Effective Utilization of Coal Fly Ash in Building Material Production

This paper is aimed at verifying utilization possibilities of alkaline modified coal fly ash as cement replacement in the concrete. The influence of alkaline activated coal fly ash originating from Slovakian power plant in Novsky （Si/Al = 3,1） as a partial cement replacement in concrete on compressive strength of hardened composites after 28 and 90 days was investigated. Alkaline activation of coal fly ash was realized in an autoclave at 130 ℃ and pressure of 160 kPa during 5 hours and in a reactor under normal conditions （equal temperature during 36 hours） at solid/liquid ratio of 0.5. Coal fly ash/cement mixtures were prepared with 25 % cement replacement by starting and modified coal fly ash and given in forms. Compressive strengths of composites after 28 and 90 days of hardening were compared to referential composite without coal fly ash and evaluated according to the standard of STN EN 450 by the value of relative strength KR （compressive strength of coal fly ash/cement composite to compressive strength of comparative concrete）. The final compressive strengths of hardened composites based on alkaline activated coal fly ash reached values in the range of 6 up to 50 MPa. In the set of experimental composites based on alkaline activated coal fly ashes, the highest value of relative strength after 28- and 90- days of hardening reached composite with cement replacement by coal fly ash zeolitized in autoclave （105% of compressive strength of referential sample）, what is connected with formation of zeolitic phases on surface of coal fly ash particles. The achieved results confirm that alkaline activation of coal fly ash in an autoclave under observed conditions can be successfully used as a partial cement replacement in concrete of C20/25 and C25/30 in accordance with requirements of standards （STN EN 450 and STN EN 206）.

Berry Phase of Composite System Induced by Time-Dependent Interaction

The Berry phase in a composite system induced by the time-dependent interaction is discussed. We choose two coupled spin-1/2 systems as the composite system： one of the subsystems is subjected to a static magnetic field, and the coupling parameters between two spins are controllable in time. We show that the time-dependent interaction can induce the Berry phase in a similar way as that a spin-1/2 system （qubit） is driven by an effective time-dependent magnetic field. Furthermore, using two consecutive cycles with opposite directions of both the static magnetic field as well as opposite signs of the coupling parameters, a nontrivial two-qubit unitary transformation purely based on Berry phases can be constructed.

Feasibility of developing composite action between concrete and cold-formed steel beam

Cold-formed steel structures are steel structure products constructed from sheets or coils using cold rolling, press brake or bending brake method. These structures are extensively employed in building construction industry due to their light mass, ductility by economic cold forming operations, favorable strength-to-mass ratio and other factors. The utilization of cold formed steel sections with concrete as composite can hugely reduce the construction cost. However, the use of cold formed steel members in composite concrete beams has been very limited. A comprehensive review of developments in composite beam with cold formed steel sections was introduced. It was revealed that employing cold-formed steel channel section to replace reinforcement bars in conventional reinforced concrete beam results in a significant cost reduction without reducing strength capacity. The use of composite beam consisting of cold-formed steel open or close box and filled concrete could also reduce construction cost. Lighter composite girder for bridges with cold-formed steel of U section was introduced. Moreover, types of shear connectors to provide composite action between cold-formed steel beam and concrete slab were presented. However, further studies to investigate the effects of metal decking on the behavior of composite beam with cold-formed steel section and introduction of ductile shear connectors were recommended.

Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminum/Carbon Nanotubes Composites： Study of Interfacial Interaction

Abstract： In this work, the authors present a study of growth and characterization of composite based on AI and CNT （carbon nanotubes. The composites were prepared by a chemical mixing method and characterized by SEM analysis, energy dispersed X-ray measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. The analysis showed that the composites are formed by macro-cluster of aluminum oxide on a network of CNT without formation of chemical bonds at interface between particles. The results are compared with those obtained for a sample of CNT with AI traces （〈 0.5%）. They show that only the presence of metal traces changes the nanotubes optical properties, with a luminescence signal centered at about 380 nm. These luminescence signals are caused by the adhesion between CNT and AI micro-clusters that promote the formation of band gap with some local energy levels.

Self-assembled Carbon Nanotube/Silicone Composite Films and Their Electrical Properties for Electrical Device

Novel composites were synthesized using AEPTES （3-（2-aminoethylamino）propyltriethoxysilane）, which behaves as an excellent dispersant for MWCNTs （multiwall carbon nanotubes） in polymer film matrices. The thickness of the synthesized nanocomposite films ranged from 50 to 70 lam, having well-dispersed MWCNTs. Increasing the AEPTES concentration from 0.0196 to 0.0300 M, increased the amine content and the dispersion of MWCNTs. The film synthesized at 0.0300 M AETPES exhibited the greatest degree of dispersion among the three samples, which is consistent with a self-assembled silane group interacting with the MWCNT surface.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Application of Highly Ordered Mesoporous Alumina-Carbon Nanocomposites

Highly ordered mesoporous carbon-alumina nanocomposites （OMCA） have been synthesized for the first time by a multi-component co-assembly method followed by pyrolysis at high temperatures. In this synthesis, resol phenol-formaldehyde resin （PF resin） and alumina sol were respectively used as the carbon and alumina precursors and triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 as the template. N2-adsorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy revealed that, with an increase of the alumina content in the nanocomposite from 11 to 48 wt.%, the pore size increased from 2.9 to 5.0 nm while the ordered mesoporous structure was retained. Further increasing the alumina content to 53 wt.% resulted in wormhole-like structures, although the pore size distribution was still narrow. The nanocomposite walls are composed of continuous carbon and amorphous alumina, which allows the ordered mesostructure to be well preserved even after the removal of alumina by HF etching or the removal of carbon by calcination in air. The OMCA nanocomposites exhibited good thermostability below 1000℃; at higher temperatures the ordered mesostructure partially collapsed, associated with a phase transformation from amorphous alumina into γ-Al2O3. OMCA-supported Pt catalysts exhibited excellent performance in the one-pot transformation of cellulose into hexitols thanks to the unique surface properties of the nanocomposite.

Enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells by the synergetic effect of NaYF_4:Er^(3+)/Yb^(3+) and g-C_3N_4

TiO2-NaYF4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋-C3N4 composite photoanodes were successfully designed for the first time. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of TiO2-NaYF4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ C3N4 composite cell can result an efficiency of 7.37%, which is higher than those of pure TiO2 cell and TiO2-C3N4 composite cell. The enhancement of the efficiency can be attributed to the synergetic effect of NaYF4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ and C3N4. Elec- trochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis revealed that the interfacial resistance of the TiO2-dyelI3^-/I^- electrolyte interface of TiO2-NaYF4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋-C3N4 composites cell was much smaller than that of pure TiO2 cell. In addition, the TiO2-NaYF4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋-C3N4 composite cell had longer electron recombination time and shorter electron transport time than that of pure TiO2 cell.

Numerical study of contacts between a flat-ended punch and a half-space embedded with inhomogeneities

This paper presented a numerical approach to solving the problem of a flat-ended punch in contact with a half-space matrix embedded with multiple three dimensional arbitrary-shaped inhomogeneities.Based on the semi-analytical method(SAM)and the equivalent inclusion method,numerical procedures were developed and the effects of inclusion shape and distribution were analyzed.Fast Fourier transform technique was implemented to accelerate the calculation of surface deformation and subsurface stress.Interactions of inter-inclusions and inclusion-matrix were taken into account.Numerical results showed the presence of inhomogeneities(i.e.,microstructures in solids)indeed had a great effect on local contact pressure and a strong disturbance to the subsurface stress field in the vicinity of inclusions.The effects were dependent on the shape and distribution of inclusions and inter-inclusion interactions.The physical significance of this study is to provide an insight into the relation between the material microstructure and its response to the external load,and the solution approach and procedures may find useful applications,for example,the analysis of fatigue and crack propagation for composite materials,prediction of stress field in solids containing material defects,and study of the mechanism of chemical-mechanical polish(CMP)for inhomogeneous materials,etc.

Recent advances in ionic liquid-based electrochemical biosensors

Ionic liquids （ILs） have been generally described as molten salts which are composed of asymmetric cations and anions. They exist in liquid state below 100 ℃. Both ILs and their composite materials have been widely used in various fields. Attributed to the outstanding properties including the thermal and chemical stabilities, the negligible volatility, the high ionic conductivity, the wide electrochemical window, and the easy design in the construction, ILs have been applied in electrochemical applications including the electrocatalysis, the electrosynthesis, the electrodeposition, the electrochamical devices and sensors. In addition to the application in electrochemical sensors, ILs have also been used in biosensors because of their biocompatibiciy. Here, we review the recent devel- opments for the applicaitons of ILs in electrochemical sensors and biosensors, including the corresponding properties of ILs suitable for electrochemical sensors. Electrochemical biosensors constructed by numorous composites are the emphasis in the review.
