The relationship of elements with ash content and with macerals have also been discussed. These lignites are stratified, black, dominantly composed of huminite group macerals with subordinated amounts of liptinite and inertinite groups. They are classified as type-III kerogen and are mainly gas prone in nature. The concentration (in vol%) of mineral matter is seen to increase towards upper part of seam and so is the concentration (in wt%) of the volatile matter, elemental carbon and sulphur. The common minerals present in these lignitesare mixed clay layer, chlorite, and quartz as identified by X-ray diffraction study. Compared with world average in brown coal, the bulk concentration of Cu is anomalously high in most of the samples while Cd is 2-3 times high and Zn is high in one band. Based on interrelationship, different pyrite forms are noticed to have different preferential enrichment of various elements. The concentration of disseminated pyrite is more than the other pyrite forms and is followed by discrete pyrite grains and massive pyrite.展开更多

Riboflavin was selected as a model drug, and the microencapsulation efficiency was raised to 97.94% after optimizing the preparation conditions by response surface methodology. In vitro release studies showed that riboflavin was released completely from alginate-casein microspheres in simulated intestinal fluids. Meanwhile, the morphology, structure and interaction between alginate and casein were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra.展开更多

The chemical structure,morphology and pore characteristics of the novel spherical resin were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), micrograph and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). It is found that the suspension system and stirring speed impose a great influence upon the regularity and size distribution of hypercrosslinked beads. To prepare CMB resin beads with diameter of about 300 μm, the optimal condition is as follows: stirring speed 300 r·min^-1, and the volume ratio of the two organic phases (nitrobenzene/dimethyl silicon oil) 1 : 5. After the self-polycondensation and sqccedent post-crosslinking of CMB monomer, the spherical adsorbent presents high spec^al surface area (1190 m^2· g^-1) and abundant pore^volume (0.714 cm^3· g^-1), and could be potentially applied qn the adsorption of various organic molecules and synthesis of porous ion exchanger.展开更多

The FeTPP-Cr-TiO2 microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The photocatalytic activity of FeTPP-Cr-TiO2 was evaluated by degradations of methylene blue in aqueous solution under irradiation with Xe lamp (150 W). The results showed that the FeTPP-Cr-TiO2 multimodified photocatalyst was anatase phase with high specific surface area (74.7 m^2/g), and exhibited higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency than Cr-TiO2 and FeTPP-TiO2. The photocatalytic degradations of three quinolone antibiotics (lomefioxacin, norfioxacin, and ofioxacin) were further estimated for the feasibility of practical application of catalyst in wastewater treatment. It is desirable that photodegradation of antibiotics with FeTPP-Cr-TiO2 achieved pretty high degradation rates and all followed the pseudo first-order reaction model, and the rate constants k of 3.02×10^-2, 2.81×10^-2, and 3.86×10^-2 min-1 and the half-lifes t1/2 of 22.9, 24.6, and 17.9 min were achieved respectively.展开更多

In this method, carbon spheres obtained through hydrothermal carbonization at a low temperature of 140 ℃ are used as sacrificial templates. The carbonization process was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. Both the carbon sphere soft templates and the NH3 released from hexamethylenetetramine play key roles in the formation of these novel hollow structures. The formation of the Co3O4 hollow spheres using hydrothermal carbon spheres as templates can be attributed to the synergetic effect of metal ion adsorption and heterogeneous nucleation of Co(OH)2, which is different from the traditional adsorption theory. The as-obtained Co3O4 hollow microspheres exhibit excellent cycling performance and good rate capacity when used as electrode materials in supercapacitors, which can be attributed to the small particle size of Co3O4 and the sufficient space available to interact with the electrolytes. This facile strategy may be extended to synthesize other metal oxide hollow spheres, which may find application in sensors and catalysts due to their unique structural features.展开更多

The synthetic process and stability of the L-ascorbic acid-stabilized Cu-CTS nanocomposites were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy. The antimicrobial efficiency and potency of the Cu-CTS nanocomposites were studied. The Cu-CTS nanocomposites were found to exhibit a broad antimicrobial spectrum and high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and fungal pathogen Monilia albican. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the Cu-CTS nanocomposites toward S. aureus was found to be 6.4 μg mL^-1, much lower than those reported in the literature. Furthermore, the Cu-CTS nanocomposites were stable and main- tained good disinfection potential even after 90-day shelf-time under ambient conditions.展开更多
