Co-intensification of cyanide leaching gold by mercury ions and oxidant

The effects of mercury ions on gold cyanidation were studied. The results show that under low cyanide concentration, gold cyanide process is controlled by CN- transfer, while at higher cyanide concentration, there forms passivation on gold surface. Therefore, chemical oxidation of gold in cyanide solution of higher concentration is controlled by surface reaction. Small quantity of additions of mercury ions bring about great increases in anodic gold dissolution rate, decreases the passivation and reduces the equilibrium activated energy. In addition, they also markedly change the effect pattern of cyanide concentration. Mercury ions show positive effects on cathodic reduction of oxygen and raise the rate of electrochemical step of the cathodic reduction of oxygen. Addition of a certain amount of hydrogen peroxide is confirmed to be an effective way for intensification of cathodic process on gold electrode. Active potential range and current peak on anodic dissolution are enlarged when being co-intensified with Hg^2＋ and hydrogen peroxide. Co-intensifying effect may be obtained and gold from gold concentrates. gold leaching rate is considerably increased on cyanide leaching of

Synthesis of mesoporous cerium-zirconium mixed oxides by hydrothermal templating method

Mesoporous cerium-zirconium mixed oxides were prepared by hydrothermal method using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as template. The effects of amount of template, pH value of solution and hydrothermal temperature on mesostructure of samples were systematically investigated. The final products were characterized by XRD, TEM, FT-IR, and BET. The results indicate that all the cerium-zirconium mixed oxides present a meso-structure. At molar ratio of n(CTAB)/n((Ce)+(Zr))= 0.15, pH value of 9, and hydrothermal temperature of 120 ℃, the samples obtained possess a specific surface area of 207.9 m2/g with pore diameter of 3.70 nm and pore volume of 0.19 cm3/g.

CFD simulation with enhancement factor of sulfur dioxide absorption in the spray scrubber

A model describing the absorption process of SO2 into limestone slurry with a spray scrubber is presented. Both the physical performance of the spray liquid in the scrubber and the involved chemical reactions are analyzed in the model. A con- tinuous concentration change of H+ was solved by iterative coupling using Matlab, and it was found that there was a remarkable influence on the concentration of the other elements in the process of SO2 absorption. The calculations show that the enhancement factor exponentially grows with an increasing value of pH and logarithmically decays with an increasing value of the driving force. To verify the accuracy of the model, experiments were also carried out, and the results suggest that the model, after combining the physical performance of the spray and the enhancement factor, can more precisely describe SO2 absorption in a spray scrubber. Furthermore, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool is used to perform several simulations which describe and clarify the effects of variables on SO2 absorption. The results of numerical simulation can provide a basis for further design and optimization of the scrubber.

Absorption of NO_x into Nitric Acid Solution in Rotating Packed Bed

Absorption of NOx into nitric acid solutions was studied in the presence of ozone by using a rotating packed bed(RPB) contactor.The influences of operating parameters,such as high gravity number,amount of ozone,gas velocity,liquid spray density and inlet concentration of NOx,on the removal efficiency of NOx were investigated,among which the high gravity number and ozone amount are more important.Ozone was introduced to oxidize HNO2 to HNO3 to prevent the decomposition of HNO2 in the liquid phase.The high gravity number presents the effective external force for enhancing the mass transfer of ozone from gas phase to liquid phase.Under the experimental condition,the removal efficiency of NOx is higher than 90%and the concentration of nitric acid product exceeds 45%.

Simultaneous Determination of Halogen Compounds and Sulfur Oxides in Flue Gas by Ion Chromatography

Ion chromatography （IC） is a suitable analytical method for the determination of anions. As analytical methods for the halogen compounds in flue gas, those of bromine compound, fluorine compound, chlorine （Cl2） and hydrogen chloride （HCI） are listed in JIS. However, IC has not been adopted in JIS except for HCI and C12. Because the carbon dioxide in flue gas is absorbed in a 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution as an absorber, it is interfered with the measurement of F^- and Cl^- ions. This paper describes the development of the pretreatment equipment for the flue gas analysis by IC, and its applications to real flue gas analysis. The F^-, Cl^-, Br^- and SO4^2- in the absorbing solution can be clearly separated by IC using the pretreatment equipment. The halogen compounds and sulfur oxides in flue gas can be simultaneously determined by IC.

Removal of tungsten from molybdate solution by Fe-Mn binary oxide adsorbent

Considering the different geochemical enrichment behaviors of W and Mo,Fe?Mn binary oxide(FMBO),ferric hydroxide(Fe(OH)3)and manganese dioxide(MnO2)were studied to separate W from molybdate solution,respectively.The experimental results demonstrated that Fe?Mn binary oxide(FMBO)was the most suitable adsorbent for the separation.Under a wide pH(6.9?11.3)region,more than80%W removal efficiency and less than3%Mo loss could be obtained.In addition,the Fe?Mn binary oxide adsorbent can be regenerated by treating with3mol/L NaOH,and the W adsorption efficiency was retained after five adsorption?desorption?regeneration cycles.All these indicate that the Fe?Mn binary oxides have the potential for the separation of W from molybdate solution.

Method of Calculation of Stability Constants of Fulvic Complexes on the Example of Copper

On the example of copper fulvate, it is discussed the method of calculation of stability constants of fulvic complexes. At pH = 8, the complex formation of copper（ll） ions with fulvic acids was studied by the solubility method. Fulvic acids were separated from the river Mtkvari by the adsorption-chromotographic method. The charcoal （BAU, Russia） was used as a sorbent. The suspension of copper（If） hydroxide was used as the solid phase, on which was added the increasing quantity of standard solution of fulvic acids. In diluted solutions, at pH = 8 the dominant form of copper（lI） is copper dihydroxo complex Cu（OH）^zO. It was established that in the Cu（OH）2 （solid）-Cu（OH）^20 （solution）-FA^2-H20 system, dominates copper dyhydroxo fulvate complex with the structure 1：1, [Cu（OH）2FA]^2. The average stability constant of copper dyhydroxo fulvate complex was calculated based on experimental data fl [Cu（OH）2FAJ^2 = 4.5× l0^5.

Removal of tin and extraction of indium from acid-dissolved solution of waste indium-tin targets

The recovery of indium from waste indium tin oxide （ITO） target has great significance for the economy and environment.Based on our previous study on the optimization of acid leaching technique,the present study focuses on tin removal via zinc substitution and indium recovery from a tin-free leach solution.The results show that when the amount of added zinc powder and reaction time increase,the tin removal effect can be improved.The optimal conditions obtained are as follows：additional content of zinc powder from 20 g/L to 25 g/L,reaction temperature of 60 ℃,and reaction time from 3 h to 4 h.Under this condition,the tin removal rate exceeds 98%,and the tin content in the tin removal solution is lower than 0.05 g/L.After tin removal,the substitution time could be reduced from 3-5 d to 1-2 d by neutralizing the residual acid by using alkaline residue and maintaining the pH value less than 2.The indium recovery rate is also improved when this condition is used.The indium content in the tin residue is reduced to lower than 0.1% and the acid-insoluble β-SnO2 could be obtained via the strong nitric acid leaching of the indium-containing tin residue.Indium could be recovered from ITO with a high purity of 99.995% via electrorefining.

Reflux-synthesized bulk and diluted W-Nb-O mixed oxide bronzes for the valorization of short-chain oxygenates aqueous mixtures

This work reports the preparation of bulk and KIT-6-diluted W-Nb-O mixed oxide bronzes by a reflux method. The influence of the incorporation of Nb and a mesoporous silica on the physicochemical features of the catalysts is studied. The addition of Nb favors the formation of single-phase oxide bronze structure, with improved Lewis acidity;while the incorporation of KIT-6 gives rise to well-dispersed mixed metal oxide particles on the diluter. These diluted W-Nb-O catalysts present enhanced surface areas and mesopore volumes. The materials have been tested in the valorization of an aqueous model mixture (acetol/propanal/ethanol/acetic acid/water weight ratio of 5/25/10/30/30), through C-C bond formation reactions. The increase in the Lewis nature of surface acid sites stands as the key point to maximize the total organic yield during the reaction (C5-C10 products). The best catalysts maintain their catalytic behavior after five consecutive uses.

Optimized One-Step Preparation of a Bioactive Natural Product,Guaiazulene-2,9-dione

We previously isolated a natural product, namely guaiazulene-2,9-dione showing strong antibacterial activity against Vibrio anguillarum, from a gorgonian Muriceides collaris collected in South China Sea. In this experiment, guaiazulene-2,9-dione was quantitatively synthesized with an optimized one-step bromine oxidation method using guaiazulene as the raw material. The key reaction condition including reaction time and temperature, drop rate of bromine, concentration of aqueous THF solution, respective molar ratio of guaiazulene to bromine and acetic acid, and concentration of guaiazulene in aqueous THF solution, were investigated individually at five levels each for optimization. Combined with the verification test to show the absolute yield of each optimization step, the final optimal condition was determined as: when a solution of 0.025 mmol m L-1 guaiazulene in 80% aqueous THF was treated with four volumes of bromine at a drop rate of 0.1 m L min-1 and four volumes of acetic acid at-5℃ for three hours, the yield of guaiazulene-2,9-dione was 23.72%. This was the first report concerning optimized one-step synthesis to provide a convenient method for the large preparation of guaiazulene-2,9-dione.

Ozonated graphene oxides as high efficient sorbents for Sr(Ⅱ) and U(Ⅵ) removal from aqueous solutions

Ozone was used to oxidize graphene oxides （GO） to generate ozonated graphene oxides （OGO） with higher oxygen-containing functional groups. The as-prepared OGO was characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. Based on the results of potentiometric acid-base ti- trations, the total carboxylic acid concentration on OGO surface was calculated to be 3.92 retool/g, which was much higher than that on GO surface. The results of adsorption experiments indicated that the adsorption capacities of OGO for Sr（II） and U（VI） removal were improved significantly after ozonization.

Active catalysts based on cobalt oxide@cobalt/N-C nanocomposites for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solutions

Over the past few years, electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solutions has undergone tremendous advances, and non-precious metal catalysts are of prime interest. In this study, we present a highly promising CoO@Co/N-C （where N-C represents a N-doped carbon material） catalyst, achieving an onset potential of 0.99 V （versus the reversible hydrogen electrode （RHE）） and a limiting current density of 7.07 mA-cm-2 （at 0.3 V versus RHE） at a rotation rate of 2,500 rpm in an O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH solution, comparable to a commercial Pt/C catalyst. The H2--O2 alkaline fuel cell test of CoO@Co/N-C as the cathode reveals a maximum power density of 237 mW.cm 2. Detailed investigation clarifies that a synergistic effect, induced by C-N, Co-N-C, and CoO/Co moieties, is responsible for the bulk of the gain in catalytic activity.

Graphene oxides for simultaneous highly efficient removal of trace level radionuclides from aqueous solutions

Graphene oxides(GOs) were synthesized via modified Hummers method, and were applied as adsorbents to remove radionuclides from large volumes of aqueous solutions. The single and competitive sorption of four radionuclides(i.e., U(VI), 152+154Eu(III), 85+89Sr(II) and 134Cs(I)) on the GOs from aqueous solutions were investigated as a function of p H, ionic strength and radionuclide initial concentrations using batch technique. The results showed that the GOs had much higher sorption capacity than many other contemporary materials, for the preconcentration of radionuclides from large volumes of aqueous solutions. The sorption of radionuclides on GOs obeyed the Langmuir model, and was mainly attributed to surface complexation via the coordination of radionuclides with the oxygen-containing functional groups on GO surfaces. The competitive sorption results indicated that the selectivity sorption capacities were U(VI)>Eu(III)>Sr(II)>Cs(I). The GOs are suitable materials for the efficient removal and preconcentration of radionuclides from aqueous solutions in nuclear waste management and environmental pollution cleanup.

Latent fingerprint enhancement on conductive substrates using electrodeposition of copper

We presented a novel method for the development of a latent fingerprint by selective electrodeposition of a copper thin film from sulfate solution onto the conductive substrate between fingerprint ridges to generate a negative image of the fingerprint deposit. After optimizing the parameters(deposition time, deposition potential, and copper concentration), the preferential electrodeposition of copper films allowed latent fingerprints on six kinds of conductive surfaces(indium/tin oxide-coated glass, silver sheet, platinum sheet, gold sheet, copper sheet, and a stainless steel coin) to be successfully developed with high resolution. In addition, this technique could also be exploited to visualize latent fingerprints on rough and dirty surfaces. The quality of the developed fingerprints was estimated visually and the morphology of the copper film was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy.

Rebinding kinetics of dissociated amino acid ligand and carbon monoxide to ferrous microperoxidase-11 in aqueous solution

The rebinding kinetics of an amino acid ligand to ferrous microperoxidase-11 (MP11) after photolysis of aggregated ferrous MP11 was measured in aqueous solution with femtosecond transient visible absorption spectroscopy. The kinetics of CO rebinding to ferrous MP11 after photolysis of MP11CO was also measured in aqueous solution with femtosecond transient visible absorption spectroscopy. From these measurements, we found that either Val-11 or Lys-13 rebinds to ferrous MP11 exponentially with an 8 picosecond time constant in aggregated ferrous MP11 solution and that CO rebinds to ferrous MP11 nonexponentially with subnanosecond time scale in MP11CO solution. The kinetics of both the amino acid and CO rebinding to ferrous MP11 in MP11 system mimics that in carbon monoxide oxidation activator protein (CooA) or carboxymethyl cytochrome c (CmCytC) system. We also measured the kinetics of CO rebinding to ferrous MP11 in aqueous solution at different MP11CO concentrations and found that MP11CO concentration has an obvious effect on the kinetics of CO rebinding to ferrous MP11, where both the germinate yield and rate of CO rebinding to ferrous MP11 increase with the increase of MP11CO concentration. These findings suggested that the picosecond amino acid ligand rebinding process could disturb the proximal heme-ligand structure that possibly leads to the subnanosecond CO rebinding kinetics in MP11CO, CooACO and CmCytCCO systems.

Full-solution-processed high mobility zinc-tin-oxide thin-film-transistors

The full solution-processed oxide thin-film-transistors(TFTs) have the advantages of transparency, ease of large-area fabrication, and low cost, offering great potential applications in switching and driving fields, and attracting extensive research interest. However, the performance of the solution-processed TFTs is generally lower than that of the vacuum-deposited ones. In this article, the full-solution processed TFTs with zinc-tin-oxide(ZTO) semiconductor and aluminium(Al_2O_3) dielectrics were fabricated, and their mobilities in the saturation region are high. Besides, the effect of the Al_2O_3 dielectrics' preparation technology on ZTO TFTs' performance was studied. Comparing the ZTO TFTs using the spin-coated Al_2O_3 dielectrics of 1–4 layers, the ZTO TFT with 3-layer Al_2O_3 dielectrics achieved the optimal performance as its field-effect carrier mobility in the saturation region is 112 cm^2/V s, its threshold voltage is 2.4 V, and its on-to-off current ratio is 2.8×105. This is also the highest reported carrier mobility of the solution-processed ZTO TFTs.
