Some of the copper tailings can be recycled to recover valuable minerals. In this paper, a copper tailing was studied through the chemical analysis method, Xray diffraction and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrum. It turned out that chalcopyrite(Cu) and pyrite(S) were the main recoverable minerals in the tailing. In order to separate chalcopyrite from pyrite in low pulp pH, ammonium humate(AH) was singled out as the effective regulator. The depression mechanism of AH on the flotation of pyrite was proved by FTIR spectrum and XPS spectrum, demonstrating that there was a chemical adsorption between AH and pyrite. By Response Surface Methodology(RSM), the interaction between AH, pulp pH and iso-butyl ethionine(Z200) was discussed. It was illustrated that the optimal dosage of AH was 1678 g·t^(-1) involving both the recovery of Cu and S. The point prediction by RSM and the closed-circuit flotation displayed that the qualified Cu concentrate and S concentrate could be obtained from the copper tailing.The study indicated that AH was a promising pyrite depressor in the low pulp pH from copper tailings.展开更多

In recent years, EBSM has been successfully used in the additive manufacturing of a variety of materials. Previous research focused on the EBSM process of a single material. In this study, a novel EBSM process capable of building a gradient structure with dual metal materials was developed, and a powder-supplying method based on vibration was put forward. Two different powders can be supplied individually and then mixed. Two materials were used in this study: Ti6AI4V powder and Ti47AI2Cr2Nb powder. Ti6AI4V has excellent strength and plasticity at room temperature, while Ti47AI2Cr2Nb has excellent performance at high temperature, but is very brittle. A Ti6AI4V/Ti47AI2Cr2Nb gradient material was successfully fabricated by the developed system. The microstructures and chemical compositions were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning microscopy, and electron microprobe analysis. Results showed that the interface thickness was about 300 μm. The interface was free of cracks, and the chemical compositions exhibited a staircase-like change within the interface.展开更多

The replacement rate of wastewater was set at 12.5% throughout the experiment. The anaerobic and aerobic times were 3 h and 7 h, respectively, and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aerobic phase was about 3.95 mg·L-1. The SBBR process demonstrated good performance in treating swine wastewater. The percentage removal of total chemical oxygen demand(COD), ammonia nitrogen(NH4+-N), total nitrogen(TN), and total phosphorus(TP) was 98.2%, 95.7%, 95.6%, and 96.2% at effluent concentrations of COD85.6 mg·L-1, NH4+-N 35.22 mg·L-1, TN 44.64 mg·L-1, and TP 1.13 mg·L-1, respectively. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification phenomenon was observed. Further improvement in removal efficiency of NH4+-N and TN occurred at COD/TN ratio of 11:1, with effluent concentrations at NH4+-N 18.5 mg·L-1and TN 34 mg·L-1, while no such improvement in COD and TP removal was found. Microbial electron microscopy analysis showed that the filler surface was covered with a thick biofilm, forming an anaerobic–aerobic microenvironment and facilitating the removal of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matters. A long-term experiment(15 weeks) showed that stable removal efficiency for N and P could be achieved in the SBBR system.展开更多

For the n-type as-grown samples, it was found that annealing decreased the defect concentration due to recombination with interstitial, and when it was annealed at 1400 ℃ for 30 rain in vacuum, a 20 nm thick Si layer was found on the top of SiC substrate, which is a direct proof of the Si atom diffusing to the surface when annealed at the high temperature stages. During the high temperature annealing stage, we found an obvious surface effect occurred that induced the higher S parameter close to the surface. This may be caused by the diffusion of the Si atoms to the surface during annealing. After 10 MeV electron irradiation of the n-type 6H-SiC, the positron effective diffusion length decreased from 86.2 nm to 39.1 nm. This shows that there are some defects created in n-type 6H-SiC. But in the p-type 6H-SiC irradiated by 10 MeV electrons, the change is very small. This may be because of the opposite charge of the vacancy defects. The same annealing behavior as that of as-grown 6H-SiC samples was also observed for the 1.8 MeV electron-irradiated 6H-SiC samples except that after being annealed at 300 ℃, its defect concentration increased. This may be explained as the generation of carbon vacancies, due to either the recombination between divacancies and silicon interstitial, or the charge of the charge states.展开更多

The results showed that some of the heavy nonvolatile oil droplets entrained in the flowing oil and gas mixture could possibly deposit or collide on the walls by gravity settling or turbulence diffusion, and then were gradually carbonized into solid coke by condensing and polymerization along with dehydrogenation. Meanwhile some of fine catalyst particles also built up and integrated into the solid coke. The coke can be classified into two types, namely, the hard coke and the soft coke, according to its property, composition and microstructure. The soft coke is formed in the oil and gas mixture's stagnant region where the oil droplets and catalyst particles are freely settled on the wall. The soft coke appears to be loose and contains lots of large catalyst particles. However, the hard coke is formed in the oil and gas mixture's flowing region where the oil droplets and catalyst particles diffuse towards the wall. This kind of coke is nonporous and very hard, which contains a few fine catalyst particles. Therefore, it is clear that the oil and gas mixture not only carries the oil droplets and catalyst particles, but also has the effects on their deposition on the wall, which can influence the composition and characteristics of deposited coke.展开更多

Hangjin 2# clay was and abundant reserves in Inner Mongolia, China. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area measurements. XRD patterns proved that anatase and rutile phases were coexisted with 52% anatase and 48% ruffle for the TiO2 in the composite. FT-IR analysis demonstrated that the insertion of TiO2 in composite photocatalyst did not destroy the basal framework structure of the clay. SEM results proved the addition of Hangjin 2# clay restrained TiO2 grain growth and the grain size in the composite was smaller than that of pure TiO2 in the same process. Photocatalytic characteristics of TiO2/Hangiin 2~ clay composites were evaluated by measuring degradation ratio of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Effects of TiO2 wt%, gelling temperature and heat-treating temperature on the photocatalytic activity of the composites were investigated. The composite catalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity than the pure TiO2 under the same experimental conditions. In addition, the composite photocatalysts were easier to recover and reuse than pure TiO2 samples.展开更多

The vibrational spectra were obtained (with total quantum number v=20) by fitting 30 spectra data. The fitted rms(root mean square) error based on the Hamiltonian witb 9 parameters was 2.40 cm^-1. The dissociation energy and force constant were also determined by the analytical potential energy surface. The method is proved to be effective by comparing these results with the experimental data.展开更多

Food production and processing of quality food and safe food are today of primary importance. Food production is based on the principles of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Manufactoring Practice (GMP) and Good Hygiene Practice (GHP). Recently, the industrial food processing is focused dominantly on the quality, and one of the basic requirements of the quality is the safety. There are different methods and techniques to produce safe food. The up-to-date food technologies and quality measurements (quality control and quality assurance) involve the application of different physical methods, e.g., high pressure, pulsing electrical field, nondestructive techniques, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), near infrared reflectance, near infrared transmittance (NIR-NIT), photo acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for chemical composition determination, radiation techniques, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO) as well. Using ionizing radiation (nuclear methods) and non-ionizing radiation technologies, it is possible to fulfill a lot of expectations: decrease of microbial contamination, improve of sensory properties, increase of storability, etc..展开更多

Additionally, mechanical properties were determined. These properties were determined using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic/energy dispersive X-ray analytical techniques as well as applying methods specified by EN (European Standards) and ASTM (American Standards for Testing and Materials). The portlandite (Ca(OH)E) content was considerably reduced from 36.9% of reference cement to between 13.79% and 15.5%. With the water demand and setting times of the cements containing up to 10%, admixtures did not change significantly. The mechanical tests results showed that ternary blends produced 2-day strengths higher than that specified by EN 197-1 and that blends containing up to 20% admixtures can be used to produce both Class 32.5N and 42.5N cements.展开更多

The influence of the stoichiometric ratio value of n(citric acid) to n(Fe2+-Mn2+) on the electrochemical properties of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 was studied. The final sample was identified as Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 with a Pmn21 monoclinic structure by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal phases components and crystal phase structure of the Li2Fe0.5Mn0.4SiO4 material were improved as the increase of the stoichiometric ratio value of n(citric acid) to n(Fe2+-Mn2+). Field-emission scanning electron microscopy verified that the Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 particles are agglomerates of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 primary particles with a geometric mean diameter of 220 nm. The Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 sample was used as an electrode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and the electrochemical measurements were carried out at room temperature. The Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 electrode delivered a first discharge capacity of 230.1 mAh/g at the current density of 10 mA/g in first cycle and about 162 mAh/g after 20 cycles at the current density of 20 mA/g.展开更多

However, these materials typically suffer from poor cycling stability and low rate performance. Herein, we propose a facile and novel metal-organic-framework(MOF) shell-derived surface modification strategy to construct NiCo nanodots decorated(~5 nm in diameter) carbon-confined Li_(1.2)Mn_(0.54) Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)O_2 nanoparticles(LLO@C&NiCo). The MOF shell is firstly formed on the surface of as-prepared Li_(1.2)Mn_(0.54)Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)O_2 nanoparticles via low-pressure vapor superassembly and then is in situ converted to the NiCo nanodots decorated carbon shell after subsequent controlled pyrolysis.The obtained LLO@C&NiCo cathode exhibits enhanced cycling and rate capability with a capacity retention of 95% after 100 cycles at 0.4 C and a high capacity of 159 mAh g^(-1) at 5 C, respectively, compared with those of LLO(75% and 105 mAh g^(-1)). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses after cycling demonstrate that the thin C&NiCo shell can endow LLO with high electronic conductivity and structural stability, indicating the undesired formation of the spinel phase initiated from the particle surface is efficiently suppressed. Therefore, this presented strategy may open a new avenue on the design of high-performance electrode materials for energy storage.展开更多

Presence of greigite can be diagnosed in the late Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine sedimentary layers of 29.4–29.7 and 26.1–27.1 m in core ZK30 of the Yellow River delta, based on analysis of particle size, magnetic properties, scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements. These layers are the transition zones from shallow marine facies to fluvio- lacustrine facies, and from fluvio-lacustrine facies to salt marsh facies in an ascending order, respectively. They are characterized by higher SIRM and SIRM/χ(>30 kA m-1) values than those of other layers, suggesting the possible existence of greigite. Both SEM and XRD analyses confirm its presence. However, sediment layer of 29.4–29.7 m are coarser, and greigite coexists with pyrite, but sediment layer of 26.1–27.1 m are finer and the occurrence of greigite is not accompanied by pyrite. The different occurrence of greigite in the two layers suggests that different climate condition and sedimentary environment control its formation and preservation.展开更多

Rats were administrated the same content of saline in normal group. The rats inthe experimental group were pretreated with TAA at dose of 12 mg/kg lasting 8 weeks, and from 9th week to 12 th week, with TAA at concentration of 36mg/kg. During the 9th week to 12 th week period,the rats were randomly divided into three subgroups(n = 10 each) simultaneously based on the treatment categories: model group, lactulose(LA,3.5 m L/kg) group and QDD(5.95 g/kg) group, orally once per day respectively. At the 12 th week, the content of serum alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartate transaminase(AST), total bilirubin(TBIL), endotoxin(ET) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The plasma prothrombin time(PT), prothrombin time-international normalized ratio(PTR) and prothrombin time activity(PTA) were measured by automatic coagulation analyzer. The level of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-binding protein(LBP), cluster differentiation 14(CD14) and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) expressions was measured by both western blot(WB) and real-time polymerase chain reaction(real-time PCR).RESULTS: Compared with the model group, hepatic morphology in the QDD group was improved under light microscope and transmission electron microscope; at the same time, the contents of serum ALT, AST, TBIL, ET and TNF-α, and level of LBP, CD14 and TLR4 expressions in liver tissues were significantly decreased compared with the model group(P < 0.05), while PTA in the QDD group was enhanced(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: QDD has the functional effect on improving the injured liver through inhibiting the LPS/TLR4 signaling pathway thus decreasing the level of the inflammatory medicators.展开更多

文摘The potential energy landscape of the neutral Ni_(2)(CO)_(5) complex was re-examined.A new C_(2v) structure with double bridging carbonyls is found to compete with the previously proposed triply carbonyl-bridged D_(3h) isomer for the global minimum of Ni_(2)(CO)_(5).Despite that the tri-bridged isomer possesses the more favored(18,18)configuration,where both metal centers satisfy the 18-electron rule,the neutral Ni_(2)(CO)_(5) complex prefers the di-bridged geometry with(18,16)configuration.The isomerization energy decomposition analysis reveals that the structural preference is a consequence of the maximization of electrostatic and orbital interactions.

文摘The paper deals with some questions of important aspects of food safety and application of principles of food physics in the food sector. Food production and processing of quality food and safe food are today of primary importance. Food production is based on the principles of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Manufactoring Practice (GMP) and Good Hygiene Practice (GHP). Recently, the industrial food processing is focused dominantly on the quality, and one of the basic requirements of the quality is the safety. There are different methods and techniques to produce safe food. The up-to-date food technologies and quality measurements (quality control and quality assurance) involve the application of different physical methods, e.g., high pressure, pulsing electrical field, nondestructive techniques, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), near infrared reflectance, near infrared transmittance (NIR-NIT), photo acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for chemical composition determination, radiation techniques, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO) as well. Using ionizing radiation (nuclear methods) and non-ionizing radiation technologies, it is possible to fulfill a lot of expectations: decrease of microbial contamination, improve of sensory properties, increase of storability, etc..
文摘Two CaCO3-based materials (limestone and clamshells) and steel slag were used as mineral admixtures in cement to produce ternary blends and their influences on hydration and portlandite formation were analyzed. Additionally, mechanical properties were determined. These properties were determined using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic/energy dispersive X-ray analytical techniques as well as applying methods specified by EN (European Standards) and ASTM (American Standards for Testing and Materials). The portlandite (Ca(OH)E) content was considerably reduced from 36.9% of reference cement to between 13.79% and 15.5%. With the water demand and setting times of the cements containing up to 10%, admixtures did not change significantly. The mechanical tests results showed that ternary blends produced 2-day strengths higher than that specified by EN 197-1 and that blends containing up to 20% admixtures can be used to produce both Class 32.5N and 42.5N cements.

文摘Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 material was synthesized by a citric acid-assisted sol-gel method. The influence of the stoichiometric ratio value of n(citric acid) to n(Fe2+-Mn2+) on the electrochemical properties of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 was studied. The final sample was identified as Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 with a Pmn21 monoclinic structure by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal phases components and crystal phase structure of the Li2Fe0.5Mn0.4SiO4 material were improved as the increase of the stoichiometric ratio value of n(citric acid) to n(Fe2+-Mn2+). Field-emission scanning electron microscopy verified that the Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 particles are agglomerates of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 primary particles with a geometric mean diameter of 220 nm. The Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 sample was used as an electrode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and the electrochemical measurements were carried out at room temperature. The Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 electrode delivered a first discharge capacity of 230.1 mAh/g at the current density of 10 mA/g in first cycle and about 162 mAh/g after 20 cycles at the current density of 20 mA/g.

文摘Li-rich layered oxide materials have attracted increasing attention because of their high specific capacity(>250 mAh g^(-1)). However, these materials typically suffer from poor cycling stability and low rate performance. Herein, we propose a facile and novel metal-organic-framework(MOF) shell-derived surface modification strategy to construct NiCo nanodots decorated(~5 nm in diameter) carbon-confined Li_(1.2)Mn_(0.54) Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)O_2 nanoparticles(LLO@C&NiCo). The MOF shell is firstly formed on the surface of as-prepared Li_(1.2)Mn_(0.54)Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)O_2 nanoparticles via low-pressure vapor superassembly and then is in situ converted to the NiCo nanodots decorated carbon shell after subsequent controlled pyrolysis.The obtained LLO@C&NiCo cathode exhibits enhanced cycling and rate capability with a capacity retention of 95% after 100 cycles at 0.4 C and a high capacity of 159 mAh g^(-1) at 5 C, respectively, compared with those of LLO(75% and 105 mAh g^(-1)). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses after cycling demonstrate that the thin C&NiCo shell can endow LLO with high electronic conductivity and structural stability, indicating the undesired formation of the spinel phase initiated from the particle surface is efficiently suppressed. Therefore, this presented strategy may open a new avenue on the design of high-performance electrode materials for energy storage.

文摘This paper expounds upon the basic principle of scanning electron microscopy(SEM),the main features of image types,and different signals,and the applications and prospects in earth sciences research are reviewed.High-resolution field emission SEM allows observation and investigation of a very fine micro area in situ.Using low-vacuum mode SEM,geological insulating samples can be analyzed directly without coating,demonstrating the wide application prospect.Combined with backscatter detector(BSE),energy dispersal X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),cathodoluminescence spectrometry(CL),and electron back-scattering diffraction(EBSD),SEM can yield multiple types of information about geological samples at the same time,such as superficial microstructure,CL analysis,BSE image,component analysis,and crystal structure features.In this paper,we use examples to discuss the geological application of SEM.We stress that we should not only focus on the CL image analysis,but strengthen CL spectrum analyses of minerals.These results will effectively reveal the mineral crystal lattice defects and trace element composition and can help to reconstruct mineral growth conditions precisely.

文摘Formation and preservation of greigite can indicate the physicochemical characteristics of sedimentary environment. Presence of greigite can be diagnosed in the late Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine sedimentary layers of 29.4–29.7 and 26.1–27.1 m in core ZK30 of the Yellow River delta, based on analysis of particle size, magnetic properties, scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements. These layers are the transition zones from shallow marine facies to fluvio- lacustrine facies, and from fluvio-lacustrine facies to salt marsh facies in an ascending order, respectively. They are characterized by higher SIRM and SIRM/χ(>30 kA m-1) values than those of other layers, suggesting the possible existence of greigite. Both SEM and XRD analyses confirm its presence. However, sediment layer of 29.4–29.7 m are coarser, and greigite coexists with pyrite, but sediment layer of 26.1–27.1 m are finer and the occurrence of greigite is not accompanied by pyrite. The different occurrence of greigite in the two layers suggests that different climate condition and sedimentary environment control its formation and preservation.

文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanism of Qingdu decoction(QDD) on experimental rats with severe liver injury induced by thioacetamide(TAA).METHODS: A total of 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group(n = 10) and experimental group(n = 30). Rats were administrated the same content of saline in normal group. The rats inthe experimental group were pretreated with TAA at dose of 12 mg/kg lasting 8 weeks, and from 9th week to 12 th week, with TAA at concentration of 36mg/kg. During the 9th week to 12 th week period,the rats were randomly divided into three subgroups(n = 10 each) simultaneously based on the treatment categories: model group, lactulose(LA,3.5 m L/kg) group and QDD(5.95 g/kg) group, orally once per day respectively. At the 12 th week, the content of serum alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartate transaminase(AST), total bilirubin(TBIL), endotoxin(ET) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The plasma prothrombin time(PT), prothrombin time-international normalized ratio(PTR) and prothrombin time activity(PTA) were measured by automatic coagulation analyzer. The level of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-binding protein(LBP), cluster differentiation 14(CD14) and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) expressions was measured by both western blot(WB) and real-time polymerase chain reaction(real-time PCR).RESULTS: Compared with the model group, hepatic morphology in the QDD group was improved under light microscope and transmission electron microscope; at the same time, the contents of serum ALT, AST, TBIL, ET and TNF-α, and level of LBP, CD14 and TLR4 expressions in liver tissues were significantly decreased compared with the model group(P < 0.05), while PTA in the QDD group was enhanced(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: QDD has the functional effect on improving the injured liver through inhibiting the LPS/TLR4 signaling pathway thus decreasing the level of the inflammatory medicators.
