Therefore, silver-zeolite doped hydroxyapatite(Ag-Zeo-HAp) coating was synthesized on Ti O2-coated Mg alloy by physical vapour deposition(PVD) assisted electrodeposition technique to decrease the degradation rate of Mg alloy. X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) images showed the formation of a uniform and compact layer of Ag-Zeo-HAp with a thickness of 15 μm on the Ti O2 film with a thickness of 1 μm. The potentiodynamic polarization(PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) tests indicated that corrosion resistance of Mg-Ca alloy was considerably increased by the Ag-Zeo-HAp coating. The bioactivity test in the simulated body fluid(SBF) solution showed that a dense and homogeneous bonelike apatite layer was formed on the Ag-Zeo-HAp surface after 14 d. Investigation of antibacterial activity via disk diffusion and spread plate methods showed that the Ag-Zeo-HAp coating had a significantly larger inhibition zone(3.86 mm) towards Escherichia coli(E. coli) compared with the Ti O2-coated Mg alloy(2.61 mm). The Ag-Zeo-HAp coating showed high antibacterial performance, good bioactivity, and high corrosion resistance which make it a perfect coating material for biomedical applications.展开更多

The physical properties of the ZSM-5- Y/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve were characterized by XRD, Py-FTIR and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. Different kinds of molecular sieves including ZSM-5, Y zeolite, AI-MCM-41, ZSM-5/MCM-41 and ZSM-5-Y/MCM- 41 as cracking catalysts were investigated, using 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB) as the probe molecule. Catalytic tests showed that the ZSM-5-Y/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve exhibited higher catalytic activity compared with the microporous ZSM-5 zeolite, Y zeolite, mesoporous A1-MCM-41 molecular sieve and ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve under the same conditions. The remarkable catalytic activity was mainly attributed to the presence of the hierarchical pore structure and proper acidity in the ZSM-5-Y/MCM-41 composite catalyst. Meanwhile, a carbcnium ion mechanism was put forward for the cracking of 1,3,5-TIPB.展开更多
The catalytic activity of trimethyl phosphite modified HZSM-5 zeolite and un-modified HZSM-5zeolite treated with 100% steam at 673,773,873,973 and 1073K, respectively, were investigated using heptanecracking as a prob...The catalytic activity of trimethyl phosphite modified HZSM-5 zeolite and un-modified HZSM-5zeolite treated with 100% steam at 673,773,873,973 and 1073K, respectively, were investigated using heptanecracking as a probe reaction. The results showed that the heptane conversion of both trimethyl phosphitetreated samples and un-phosphated samples decreased with an increase in treating temperature, but trimethylphosphite modified samples showed higher activity in comparison with the un-modified samples, which weresteam-treated at a higher temperature. The results were firstly elucidated by the model cluster method andcomputational quantum chemistry method. Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster model havebeen carried out using the Gaussian 94 software-package with the PM 3 semi-empirical method performed onsmall cluster models. The computational results showed that the dealumination of trimethyl phosphite modi-fied zeolite model cluster was more difficult than that of un-modified zeolite model cluster when they weretreated with steam while investigating the heat of reaction.展开更多

Potential solutions to these problems were investigated by adding a synthetic zeolite obtained from coal fly ash to different steps of activated sludge treatment. The experimental results for ammonium removal fit well with the theoretical adsorption isotherms of the Freundlich model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 13.72 mg.g-'. Utiliza- tion of this kind of zeolite to improve activated sludge sediment ability is studied for the first time in this work. It is found that the addition of the zeolite (1 g. L-1) to an activated sludge with settling problems significantly enhances its sediment ability and comoact ability. This is confirmed by the sludge volume index (SVI), which was reduced from 163 ml.g-1 to 70 ml.g-r, the V60 value, which was reduced from 894 ml.L-1 to 427 ml.L-1, and the zeta poten- tial (0, which was reduced from -19.81 mV to -14.29 mV. The results indicate that the addition of this synthetic zeolite to activated sludge, as an additional waste management practice, has a positive impact on both ammonium removal and sludge settleability.展开更多

LBET (extended Largmuir-BET) model and extended CMMS (cooperative multimolecular sorption) equation were simulated respectively to describe water loading on F200 and Sorbead WS. The two equations can be well added into our in-house simulator to simulate double-layered CO 2 -VSA (vacuum swing adsorption) process. Results indicated that water can be successfully stopped in pre-layers with a good CO 2 capture performance.展开更多

This research work is experimental study on removal low concentration NOx of flue gas by using solid absorbents. The experiment result shown that denification rate by modified activated carbon is higher than that of modified zeolite and rectorite. Average denitrification rate is 65.47% and maximum denitrification rate is 95.82% for activated carbon; average denitrification rate is respectively as 43.29% and 36.18%, maximum denitrification rate is respectively as 87.51% and 79.47% for modified zeolite and rectorite. Experiment results indicated that NO adsorption process of activated carbon can be described by Freudlich adsorption mode, K=0.143 and n=2.842 and Freudlich adsorption isotherm equation is: q = 0.143MO^0.3519.展开更多
