The microstructures of TiO2 and supported Ru/TiO2 catalysts were characterized with X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The phase structure, particle size, morphology, and specific surface area were determined. The supported Ru catalysts were applied for the selective methanation of CO in a hydrogen-rich stream. The results indicated that the Ru catalyst supported on rutile and TiO2-B exhibited higher catalytic performance than the counterpart supported on anatase, which suggested the distinct interaction between Ru nanoparticles and TiO2 resulting from different crystalline phases and morphology.展开更多

ZrO2-ipch is a much better support than ZrO2-cs and the traditional ZrO2 irregular particles made by a simple precipitation method (ZrO2-ip). The supported Ni catalyst on ZrO2-ipch (Ni/ZrO2-ipch) exhibited outstanding catalytic activity and coke-resistant stability compared to the ones on ZrO2-cs (Ni/ZrO2-cs) and ZrO2-ip (Ni/ZrO2-ip). Ni/ZrO2-ip exhibited the worst catalytic performance. The origin of the significantly enhanced catalytic performance was revealed by characterization including XRD, N2 adsorption measurement (BET), TEM, H2-TPR, CO chemisorption, CO2-TPD, XPS and TGA. The superior catalytic activity of Ni/ZrO2-ipch to Ni/ZrO2-cs or Ni/ZrO2-ip was ascribed to a higher Ni dispersion, increased reducibility, enhanced oxygen mo- bility, and more basic sites with a higher strength, which were due to the unique hierarchically structural morphology of the ZrO2-ipch support. Ni/ZrO2-ipch exhibited better stability for the DRM reaction than Ni/ZrO2-ip, which was ascribed to its higher resistance to Ni sintering due to a strengthened metal-support interaction and the confinement effect of the mesopores and coke deposition resistance. The higher coking resistance of Ni/ZrO2-ipch for the DRM reaction in comparison with Ni/ZrOz-ip orignated from the coke-removalabitity of the higher amount of lattice oxygen and more basic sites, confirmed by XPS and CO2-TPD analysis, and the stabilized Ni on the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst by the confinement effect of the mesopores of the hierarchical ZrO2-ipch sup- port. The superior catalytic performance and coking resistance of the Ni/ZrO2-ipch catalyst makes it a promising candidate for synthesis gas production from the DRM reaction.展开更多

Vitrinite reflectance, mercury injection, and maceral statistical analysis are used to characterize the coal. The aspects of coal metamorphism include changes in micro-components as well as in coal structure, the formation of new substances, and changes in gas absorption and storage. The results show that vitrinite reflectance increases within the region influenced by magma intrusion. The metamorphosed region may be divided into a weakly affected belt, a medium affected belt, a strongly affected belt, and a completely affected belt. Compared to the unaffected coal the total pore volume, as well as the amount of big and middle sized holes, increases while the number of transition holes and micro-pores decreases. This diminishes the absorption capacity of the matrix but enlarges the total gas storage space. Vitrinite con- tent initially decreases slightly but then increases rapidly while the inertinite content increases at first but then decreases. Exinite content decreases, then increases, and finally drops to zero. Higher vitrinite, and a lower inertinite, content increase gas absorption ability. This balances reduced adsorption caused by changes to pore structure. Consequently, gas adsorption capacity is not substantially reduced as the coal rank increases. Thermal metamorphism of the coal produces CH4 and other hydrocarbons that increase the total gas content in the coal seam. Asphaltene migrates into the medium and weakly affected regions filling in the pores and fractures there. This plugs the pathway for gas transport. A barrier is formed that hinders gas flow. C02, H2S, N2, and other gases carried in by the magma react to produce C02, which increases in relative concentration and enhances the risk of gas outburst. The two barriers, magma intrusion on one side and the medium and weakly affected belts on the other, as well as the unaf- fected coal seam itself, trap a large amount of gas during the thermal activity. This is the basic reason for gas outburst. These conclusions can enlighten activities related to gas prevention and control in a low rank coal mine affected by ma^ma intrusion.展开更多

Adsorption energies are calculated, and methane affinities for the typical semiconducting and metallic nanotubes are compared. We also discuss role of the structural defects and nanotube curvature on the adsorption capability of the SWCNTs. We could observe larger adsorption energies for the metallic CNTs in comparison with the semiconducting CNTs. The obtained results for the zig zag nanotubes with various diameters reveal that the adsorption energy is higher for nanotubes with larger diameters. For defected tubes the adsorption energies are calculated for various configurations such as methane molecule approaching to the defect sites pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon in the tube surface. The results show that the introduce defects have an important contribution to the adsorption mechanism of the methane on SWNTs.展开更多

However, locating the enriched areas of CSM (coal seam methane) may be the precondition for the successful prediction of such disasters. Traditional methods of investigating CSM enriched areas use limited data and only consider a few important factors. Their success rate is low and cannot meet practical needs. In this paper, an alternative method is proposed. The proce- dure is given as follows: 1) fracture attributes derived from azimuth variations of P-wave data in coal seams and wall rocks can be extracted; 2) AVO attributes, such as the intercept P and gradient G parameters can be extracted from different azimuths from 3D seismic data; 3) seismic cubes can be inverted and the relative attributes of imped- ance cubes can be extracted; 4) using a GIS platform, multi-source information can be obtained and analyzed; these include fracture attributes of coal seams and wall rocks, the thickness of coal seams, the distribution of faults and structures, the depth of coal seams, the inclination and exposure of coal seams and the coal rank. Through this processing procedure, methane enriched areas can be systematically detected.展开更多

These mechanisms could be better revealed with more fundamental experimental studies. With experiments performed in an isochoric cell with continuous cooling and stirring, this paper presents observed effects of methanol, PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone, Mw= 15,000) and PVCap (polyvinylcaprolactam, Mw = 6,000) on both nucleation and growth of structure-I methane hydrate at concentrations 100 to 3,000 ppm (i.e., 0.01 to 0.3 wt%). The results suggest that methanol had no significant effect on nucleation, while it weakly promoted, spontaneous hydrate growth at an early stage. PVP and PVCap gave reduced average nucleation rate at and prior to hydrate onset, while increased the induction time and the degree of sub-cooling. PVP gave no observable effect on total gas intake and average hydrate growth rate. A decreased total gas intake was observed for all concentrations of PVCap.展开更多

Kinetic studies showed that carbosilane of SiH2Cl2, SiHCl3 and SiCl2 formed from decomposition of SiCl4 and CH4 contributed to the deposition of hexangular facet and granular pebble structured SiC. An average apparent activation energy of 152 kJ·mol-1 was determined. The overall CVD process was controlled not only by the surface reactions but also by complex gas phase reactions. The as-deposited thin film was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, these analysis showed that the deposited thin film consisted of pure phase of the β-SiC, the growth morphology of β-SiC differs from hexangular facet to granular pebble struc-tures, which varied with substrate length and CVD temperature.展开更多

These transformations lead to the appearance in molecules of activated hydrogen atoms similar in the spectral behaviour to the bounded proton. The classical analysis of IR bands in 5000-600 cm^-1 region, for studied samples and their deuterated derivatives, proves the existence in the presented organic fluids of hydrogen and dihydrogen bonds. This bonding promotes the formation of supramolecular structure in methane halides. The mechanism of unusual binding in liquid phase in terms of common knowledge for the basic chemical properties of the examined compounds is discussed.展开更多

A randomized complete block design with five treatments and 4 replicates was set up in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, China. In addition to methyl bromide (MB) and untreated control (CK), three alternative fumigation treatments were studied, including MB+VIF (virtually impermeable films), metham sodium (MS) and MS+VIF. Tomato cultivars (Lyeopersicum eseulentum Mill), cv. Maofen-802 were selected as test crops. Results of four fumigations were demonstrated through three-level ten-fold dilution methodology. Abundance of three groups of soil protozoa-flagellates, amoebae, and ciliates was measured from July 2002 to July 2003. Results indicated that two chemical fumigants and their combinations with physical material all significantly repressed soil protozoan abundance. MB was a stronger fumigant than MS, and use of VIF increased their repressive power. The most serious population reduction occurred in amoebae, thus, they also required the longest time to recover. MB and MS also changed the protozoan community structure. MB use decreased the percentage of amoebae but increased percentage of ciliates, while MS incrcased the percentagc of amoebae and decreased the percentage of flagellates in the protozoan community.展开更多

Meanwhile, thermal analysis of [PyC3Pi][NTf2]2 was also studied using non-isothermal thermo- gravimetric analysis (TGA). The title crystal belongs to the triclinic with space group Pi and unit-cell parameters a : 0.95217 (8) nm, b = 1.05129 (11 ) nm, c = 1.70523 (14) nm, ct = 89,759 (8)°,β = 80.657 (7)°, γ=68.007 (9)°, and F(000) = 792. Thermal stability and thermal decomposition kinetics of the title compound were also investigated using TGA under the atmosphere of highly pure nitrogen. Heating curves at different rates were cor- related with kinetic equations Friedman and ASTM (also called iso-conversion method). The values of average activation E (kJ·mol^-1 ) and pre-exponential constant lgA are 149.58 kJ. mol- 1 and 8.83, respectively, which were obtained by the two methods. The kinetic model function, activation energy and pre-exponential constant of this reaction using the multivariate non-linear-regression method were f(a) = (1 -a)(1 + 4.1870a), 151.04 kJ·mol^-1 and 8.81, respectively, which were basically consistent with iso-conversion methods.展开更多

For this study, the volatiles in coal were gradually removed by extraction. Changes in the crystal, textural, and porous structures were identified by means of thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Changes in the methane adsorption behavior before and after volatile removal were investigated. It was found that changes in methane adsorption could be attributed to volatile-related deformations in the coal's porous structure. Microstructural characterizations indicated that the volatiles could be found in two states within the coal, either trapped in the pores, or cross-linked in the network. The former played an important role in constructing the pore spaces and walls within the coal and affected the accessibility of gases. The latter cross-linked state retained the volatiles within the macromolecular coal structural network. This state affected coal-coal interactions, which was a factor that controlled the crystal structure of coal and contributed to the number of porous deformations.展开更多

文摘We investigate the interaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and methane molecule from the first principles. Adsorption energies are calculated, and methane affinities for the typical semiconducting and metallic nanotubes are compared. We also discuss role of the structural defects and nanotube curvature on the adsorption capability of the SWCNTs. We could observe larger adsorption energies for the metallic CNTs in comparison with the semiconducting CNTs. The obtained results for the zig zag nanotubes with various diameters reveal that the adsorption energy is higher for nanotubes with larger diameters. For defected tubes the adsorption energies are calculated for various configurations such as methane molecule approaching to the defect sites pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon in the tube surface. The results show that the introduce defects have an important contribution to the adsorption mechanism of the methane on SWNTs.

文摘All coal mine disasters are dynamic geological phenomenon and affected by many factors. However, locating the enriched areas of CSM (coal seam methane) may be the precondition for the successful prediction of such disasters. Traditional methods of investigating CSM enriched areas use limited data and only consider a few important factors. Their success rate is low and cannot meet practical needs. In this paper, an alternative method is proposed. The proce- dure is given as follows: 1) fracture attributes derived from azimuth variations of P-wave data in coal seams and wall rocks can be extracted; 2) AVO attributes, such as the intercept P and gradient G parameters can be extracted from different azimuths from 3D seismic data; 3) seismic cubes can be inverted and the relative attributes of imped- ance cubes can be extracted; 4) using a GIS platform, multi-source information can be obtained and analyzed; these include fracture attributes of coal seams and wall rocks, the thickness of coal seams, the distribution of faults and structures, the depth of coal seams, the inclination and exposure of coal seams and the coal rank. Through this processing procedure, methane enriched areas can be systematically detected.
文摘Kinetic mechanisms describing how THIs (thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors) and KHIs (kinetic hydrate inhibitors) work on gas hydrate formation have drawn interests for decades. These mechanisms could be better revealed with more fundamental experimental studies. With experiments performed in an isochoric cell with continuous cooling and stirring, this paper presents observed effects of methanol, PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone, Mw= 15,000) and PVCap (polyvinylcaprolactam, Mw = 6,000) on both nucleation and growth of structure-I methane hydrate at concentrations 100 to 3,000 ppm (i.e., 0.01 to 0.3 wt%). The results suggest that methanol had no significant effect on nucleation, while it weakly promoted, spontaneous hydrate growth at an early stage. PVP and PVCap gave reduced average nucleation rate at and prior to hydrate onset, while increased the induction time and the degree of sub-cooling. PVP gave no observable effect on total gas intake and average hydrate growth rate. A decreased total gas intake was observed for all concentrations of PVCap.

文摘Silicon carbide was prepared from SiCl4-CH4-H2 gaseous precursors by isothermal, isobaric chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at atmospheric pressure and temperatures ranging from 900°C to 1100°C. Kinetic studies showed that carbosilane of SiH2Cl2, SiHCl3 and SiCl2 formed from decomposition of SiCl4 and CH4 contributed to the deposition of hexangular facet and granular pebble structured SiC. An average apparent activation energy of 152 kJ·mol-1 was determined. The overall CVD process was controlled not only by the surface reactions but also by complex gas phase reactions. The as-deposited thin film was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, these analysis showed that the deposited thin film consisted of pure phase of the β-SiC, the growth morphology of β-SiC differs from hexangular facet to granular pebble struc-tures, which varied with substrate length and CVD temperature.
文摘The IR spectroscopic data indicate the tautomeric transformations of typical aprotonic organic fluids such as methane halides with gross formulas CHX3 (X = Cl, Br), CH2X2 (X = CI, Br, I) and CCl4 at normal conditions. These transformations lead to the appearance in molecules of activated hydrogen atoms similar in the spectral behaviour to the bounded proton. The classical analysis of IR bands in 5000-600 cm^-1 region, for studied samples and their deuterated derivatives, proves the existence in the presented organic fluids of hydrogen and dihydrogen bonds. This bonding promotes the formation of supramolecular structure in methane halides. The mechanism of unusual binding in liquid phase in terms of common knowledge for the basic chemical properties of the examined compounds is discussed.

文摘We examined soil fumigation effects on soil protozoan abundance and community structure in greenhouses and explored the capacity of protozoa to recover after disturbances. A randomized complete block design with five treatments and 4 replicates was set up in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, China. In addition to methyl bromide (MB) and untreated control (CK), three alternative fumigation treatments were studied, including MB+VIF (virtually impermeable films), metham sodium (MS) and MS+VIF. Tomato cultivars (Lyeopersicum eseulentum Mill), cv. Maofen-802 were selected as test crops. Results of four fumigations were demonstrated through three-level ten-fold dilution methodology. Abundance of three groups of soil protozoa-flagellates, amoebae, and ciliates was measured from July 2002 to July 2003. Results indicated that two chemical fumigants and their combinations with physical material all significantly repressed soil protozoan abundance. MB was a stronger fumigant than MS, and use of VIF increased their repressive power. The most serious population reduction occurred in amoebae, thus, they also required the longest time to recover. MB and MS also changed the protozoan community structure. MB use decreased the percentage of amoebae but increased percentage of ciliates, while MS incrcased the percentagc of amoebae and decreased the percentage of flagellates in the protozoan community.

文摘The structure of a room temperature asymmetrical dicationic ionic liquid (ADIL), 1-(pyridinium-l-yl) propane- (1-methylpiperidinium) bi[bis(tfifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide] ([PyC3Pi][NTf2]2), was studied by the X-ray difo fraction method. Meanwhile, thermal analysis of [PyC3Pi][NTf2]2 was also studied using non-isothermal thermo- gravimetric analysis (TGA). The title crystal belongs to the triclinic with space group Pi and unit-cell parameters a : 0.95217 (8) nm, b = 1.05129 (11 ) nm, c = 1.70523 (14) nm, ct = 89,759 (8)°,β = 80.657 (7)°, γ=68.007 (9)°, and F(000) = 792. Thermal stability and thermal decomposition kinetics of the title compound were also investigated using TGA under the atmosphere of highly pure nitrogen. Heating curves at different rates were cor- related with kinetic equations Friedman and ASTM (also called iso-conversion method). The values of average activation E (kJ·mol^-1 ) and pre-exponential constant lgA are 149.58 kJ. mol- 1 and 8.83, respectively, which were obtained by the two methods. The kinetic model function, activation energy and pre-exponential constant of this reaction using the multivariate non-linear-regression method were f(a) = (1 -a)(1 + 4.1870a), 151.04 kJ·mol^-1 and 8.81, respectively, which were basically consistent with iso-conversion methods.

文摘We investigated the role of volatiles in the porous structure of coal samples and the corresponding structural deformations that affect the coals' methane adsorption capacity. For this study, the volatiles in coal were gradually removed by extraction. Changes in the crystal, textural, and porous structures were identified by means of thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Changes in the methane adsorption behavior before and after volatile removal were investigated. It was found that changes in methane adsorption could be attributed to volatile-related deformations in the coal's porous structure. Microstructural characterizations indicated that the volatiles could be found in two states within the coal, either trapped in the pores, or cross-linked in the network. The former played an important role in constructing the pore spaces and walls within the coal and affected the accessibility of gases. The latter cross-linked state retained the volatiles within the macromolecular coal structural network. This state affected coal-coal interactions, which was a factor that controlled the crystal structure of coal and contributed to the number of porous deformations.
