With the sputter deposition of a nickel thin film,nickel silicidation is realized on undoped and doped (As and B) Si(001) substrates by rapid ther mal processing (RTP). The formation of NiSi is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering spectros- copy. The influence of the substrate doping and annealing process (one-step RTP and two-step RTP) on the NiSi! Si interface is investigated. The results show that for one-step RTP the silicidation on As-doped and undoped Si substrates causes a rougher NiSi/Si interface,while the two-step RTP results in a much smoother NiSi/Si interface. High resolution XTEM study shows that axiotaxy along the Si(111) direction forms in all samples, in which specific NiSi planes align with Si(111) planes in the substrate. Axiotaxy with spacing mismatch is also discussed.展开更多

The samples were annealed at 100-450 ℃ and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, thermal gravity-DTG, brunauer emmett teller, and NHa-temperature programmed desorption. The results showed that the bmim-PW12 samples were crystal and maintained intact Keggin structure. The organic parts of those samples were partly decomposed at a temperature more than 350 ℃. The sample annealed at 400 ℃ exhibited nano-porous structure, strong acidity, and excellent catalytic activity on the esterification of n-butanol with acetic acid. The higher ester yield was obtained when the mass ratio of catalyst over the reactants amount was 5% for bmim-PW12 catalyst annealed at 400 ℃.展开更多

Experimental results indicate that thermal treatment is an effective approach to decreasing acidity and the acid removal rate reaches 80%. Temperature is one of the main factors that determine the acid removal reaction. When the temperature ranges from 420oC to 440oC, the acid removal rate increases with the rise of the reaction temperature, but the increase slows down gradually. At the reaction temperature below 440oC, the long reaction time favors the acid removal. The cracking and polymerization of hydrocarbon molecules take place so that the properties of the crude oil change at the same time when the highly acidic crude is thermally treated.展开更多

After annealing at 773 K for 12-48 h, four different intermetallic layers, Mg5 Gd, Mg3 Gd, Mg2 Gd and Mg Gd, form at the Mg/Gd interfaces in the diffusion couples. The thicknesses of intermetallic layers δi(i stands for the phases of Mg5 Gd, Mg3 Gd, Mg2 Gd and Mg Gd, respectively) are proportional to the square root of annealing time t1/2, which indicates that the growth behavior of the intermetallics is controlled by the diffusion rate. The ratio of thickness of each intermetallic layer to the total thickness is constant with increasing the annealing time, which means that the growth behavior is constant at a certain annealing temperature. The diffusion coefficient of Gd in different intermetallics was calculated by Matano method.展开更多

The changes of the elemental composition and crystalline structure of petroleum coke, with heat treatments as well as the gasification reactivity of the heat-treated petroleum cokes were investigated. The results showed that the petroleum coke was carbonized and grapbitized to a higher degree with increasing heating temperature, while the gasification reactivity decreased. The treatment at temperatures of 1173 and 1473 K significantly enlarged the specific surface area and the pore volume of petroleum coke. Both the specific surface area and the pore volume decreased at 1673 K. An empirical normal distribution function model (NDFM) was found to fit the gasification rates of petroleum coke well. The correlation coefficient of petroleum coke by normal distribution function model at different heat treatment temperatures is between 0.93 and 0.95.展开更多

The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET, The VOx nanorods (80-120 nm diameter and 1-4 μm length) were synthesized in 25 vol% EtOH/(EtOH + H20) and the open-ended multiwalled VOx nanotube (50-100 nm inner diameter, 110-180 nm outer diameter and 0,5-2 pm length) synthesized in 50 vol% EtOH/(EtOH + H20). VOx nanotuhes performed the superior NH3-SCR activity under a gas hourly space velocity of 12,000 h-1 at low temperature of 250 ~C (NOx conversion of 893g & N2 selectivity of 100%), while most of the developed Vanadia base catalysts are active at high temperature (〉350 ℃). The superior NH3-SCR activity ofVOx nanotubes at low tem- perature is related to nanocrystalline structure, special nanotube morphology as well as high specific surface area.展开更多

Changes in structure and phase composition of hydrothermally synthesized belite precursors and subsequent calcinated products were compared with those of starting mixtures. Based on XRD diffraction patterns, the formation of the new profiles corresponding to CSH phases with low degree of ordering as belite precursors after hydrothermal treatment was confirmed. Calcination of hydrotermally treated products at 900℃ led to transformation of CSH phases to wollastonite, belite and gehlenite phase. Differences in phase composition of products before and after calcination depend upon waste quality and precursor's synthesis conditions. Bottom ash isn't suitable as raw material for synthesizing belite phase because of high CaO content fixed in anhydrite form (44.1%). Coal fly ash with low CaO content in anhydrite form (4.2%) and its hydrothermal treatment in combination with subsequent heating offer opportunities for the utilization of coal fly ash as raw material for belite production.展开更多

Gasification reaction has attracted a lot of interest by producing syngas rich in CO and H2. This syngas can be converted to clean liquid fuels, such as methanol and Fischer-Tropsch oil. Nickel and Cobalt catalyst was widely used in steam reforming reaction. ethanol etc. The aim of this work is to prepare and characterize 5.0 and 10.0%wt of Ni and Co catalysts using the impregnation method on various supporters, such as alumina and titanium oxide (TiO2) and to evaluate their catalytic performance. The specific surface area of developed catalysts was measured. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was applied to determine phase and crystallized size of the catalysts. Examination of the morphology. elemental composition and distribution of metal on the catalysts support were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEMi and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray mapping. The catalytic performance of prepared catalysts was test at 700 and 900℃ temperature of reaction. 1.87% O2. The result showed that the synthesized nickel and cobalt catalysts via impregnation method using Al2O3 and TiO2 as the catalyst support were suitable for glycerol conversion.展开更多
