The results show that the leaching rate of elemental sulfur is more than 98%, and 98.13% of mercury is enriched in the residue, under the optimized conditions of sodium sulfide concentration 1.5 mol/L, liquid/solid ratio 6:1 and leaching time 30 min at room temperature. In addition, the content of mercury is enriched 5.23 times that in the leaching residue. The elemental sulfur is precipitated from leaching solution under conditions of carbon dioxide flow rate 200 mL/min and blowing time 150 min, while solution is stirred adequately. The recovery efficiency of elemental sulfur reaches 97.67%, and the purity of elemental sulfur is 99.75%, meeting the requirements of industrial first-rate product standard according to the national standard of GB/T 2449-2006 (PRC).展开更多

Comparing the predicted values with those experimental results, it was concluded that the model well reflected the solubility variations of thiamine nitrate during recrystallization process. The proposed model was important to study the nucleation process and crystal growth process during recrystallization process, and also provided a beneficial method to study the solubility variations of solute during such precipita- tion process.展开更多

The proposed process comprised oxidation acid leaching of Cu-As-bearing slime and selective sulfide precipitation of Cu from the leachate. The effects of various process parameters on the leaching and precipitation of Cu and As were investigated. At the first stage, Cu extraction of 95.2% and As extraction of 97.6% were obtained at 80 ℃ after 4 h with initial H2 SO4 concentration of 1.0 mol/L and liquid-to-solid ratio of 10 mL/g. In addition, the leaching kinetics of Cu and As was successfully reproduced by the Avrami model, and the apparent activation energies were found to be 33.6 and 35.1 kJ/mol for the Cu and As leaching reaction, respectively, suggesting a combination of chemical reaction and diffusion control. During the selective sulfide precipitation, about 99.4% Cu was recovered as CuS, while only 0.1% As was precipitated under the optimal conditions using sulfide-to-copper ratio of 2.4:1, time of 1.5 h and temperature of 25 ℃.展开更多

In this work, magnetite was recovered from ferrous sulphate by a novel co-precipitation method with calcium hydroxide as the precipitant. Under optimum conditions, the obtained spherical magnetite particles are well crystallized with a Fe304 purity of 88.78%, but apt to aggregate with a median particle size of 1.83 μm. Magnetic measurement reveals the obtained Fe304 particles are soft magnetic with a saturation magnetization of 81.73 A-m2/kg. In addition, a highly crystallized gypsum co-product is obtained in blocky or irregular shape. Predictably, this study would provide additional opportunities for future application of low-cost Fe3O4 particles in water treatment field.展开更多

The growth conditions and nutritional factors for lipase production by strain HB-03 were optimized, and the maximum lipase production of (45.9±2.3) U/mL was obtained at 30 ℃ and pH 7.0 after 36 h using olive oil (1%) and sucrose (0.5%) as carbon sources and combination of peptone (2%), yeast extract (0.5%) and ammonium sulfate (0.1%) as nitrogen sources. The lipase was purified to homogeneity with 10.6-fold, 18.84% yield and a specific activity of 1 862.2 U/mg using ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by SephadexG-75 gel filtration chromatography. The purified lipase with molecular mass of 68 ku was estimated by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature for the purified lipase were found to be 8.5 and 40 ℃, respectively. The lipase kept more than 80% of activity in pH 7.0-10.0 and temperatures up to 45 ℃. The metal ions of Mn2+, Ba2+ significantly enhanced the lipase activity, whereas Cu2+, Fe3+ and Mg2+ strongly reduced the lipase activity. The Km and Vmax values of the purified enzyme for p-nitrophenyl palmitate were 0.13 mrnol/L and 60.6 mmol/(L.min), respectively. The results show that this novel lipase has potential industrial applications.展开更多

Na 2S 2O 3·5H 2O is used as sulfur source material, FeSO 4·7H 2O, FeCl 2·4H 2O and FeCl 3·6H 2O are used as iron source materials respectively. The samples are annealed in N 2 atmosphere at 400 ℃ and 500 ℃ respectively. From XRD (X-ray diffraction) patterns of the films, it is found that there are peaks of FeS 2, FeS and Fe 7S 8 in all films, but there are sharp and more peaks characterizing FeS 2 in the film from Na 2S 2O 3 +FeSO 4 than other films, and 400 ℃ is the more suitable temperature than 500 ℃ for annealing the samples in N 2 atmosphere. In addition, one solution can be used repeatedly.展开更多
