The electrolyte was filtered, and the precipitate structure, morphology and composition were characterized by chemical analysis, SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR. The results show that the precipitate is in the shape of many irregular lumps with size of 50-200 μm, and it mainly consists of As, Sb, Bi and O elements. The main characteristic bands in the FTIR spectra of the precipitate are As-O-As, As-O-Sb, Sb-O-Bi, Sb-O-Sb and Bi-O-Bi. The precipitate is the mixture of microcrystalline of AsSbO4, BiSbO4 and Bi3SbO7 by XRD and electronic diffraction. The removal of As, Sb and Bi impurities by Sb(V) ion can be mainly ascribed to the formation of antimonate in copper electrolytes.展开更多

The structure characterization of the purified LiODFB was performed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. The electrochemical properties of the cells using 1 mol/L LiPF6 and 1 mol/L LiODFB in ethylene carbonate (EC)/DMC were investigated, respectively. The results indicate that LiODFB can be reduced at about 1.5 V and form a robust protective solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the graphite surface in the first cycle. The graphite/LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cells with LiODFB-based electrolyte have very good capacity retention at 55 ℃, and show very good rate capability at 0.5C and 1C charge/discharge rate. Therefore, as a new salt, LiODFB is a most promising alternative lithium salt to replace LiPF6 for lithium ion battery electrolytes in the future.展开更多

Hydroxyl release increased with the selenite concentration, with arapid increase at a low selenite concentration while slowing down at a high concentration. The pHwhere maximum of hydroxyl release appeared was not constant, shifting to a lower valus withincreasing selenite concentration. Hydroxyl release decreased with increasing electrolyteconcentration, and the decrease was very rapid at a low electrolyte concentration but slow at a highelectrolyte concentration. For NaClO_4, NaCl and Na_2SO_4, hydroxyl release was in the order ofNaClO_4 > NaCl >> Na_2SO_4, and the difference was very significant. But for NaCl, KCl and CaCl_2,the order of hydroxyl release was NaCl > KCl > CaCl_2, and the difference was smaller. The amount ofhydroxyl release from Xuwen latosol was greater than that from Jinxian red soil. Hydroxyl releaseexisted in a wider range of pH with Xuwen latosol than with Jinxian red soil, due to theirdifference in soil properties. However, both soils had similar curves of hydroxyl release,indicating the common characteristics of variable charge soils.展开更多

Average TPand PP exceeded 1 mgL^(-1) in about half of the 12 plots receiving superphosphate for the 5 measurements taken betweenDecember 2000 and April 2001. Ranging between 33.8% and 87.3% of TP, PP was the largest P fractionin drainage waters, with DOP, ranging from 0.5% to 26.2% of TP, being the smallest fraction Meanproportions of PP, MRP and DOP in TP in drainage waters were 63.4%, 32.5% and 4.1%, respectively.These findings support previous findings that P losses from soil to drainage waters were muchlargerthan previously thought, and could therefore make a significant contribution to eutrophication.展开更多

P adsorption was significantly decreased as the concentration of the organic anions increased from 10-5 to 10-1 M. At 0.1 M and pH 7.0, tartrate decreased P adsorption by 27.6% - 50.6% and citrate by 37.9 - 80.4%, depending on the kinds of adsorbent. Little Al and/ or Fe were detected in the equilibrium solutions, even at the highest concentration of the organic anions. Effects of the organic anions on phosphate adsorption follow essentially the competitive adsorption mechanism.The selectivity coefficients for competitive adsorption can be used to compare the effectiveness of different organic anions in reducing P adsorption under given conditions.Phosphate desorption was increased by 3 to 100 times in the presence of 0.001 M citrate or tartrate compared to that in 0.02 M KC1 solution alone. However, for all the soil and clay minerals studied the amount of P desorbed by citrate or tartrate was generally lower than or close to that of isotopically exchangeable P. The effect of organic anions on phosphate desorption arises primarily from ligand exchange.展开更多

Molybdate was introduced to mediate hematite thin films via two synthesis routes (namely in situin situ mediation and ex situ modification). Through the in situ mediation process, the morphology and film thickness could be changed significantly due to the addition of MoO42-, while for the ex situ modification, the PEC performance of the hematite has been greatly improved without changing the nanorod morphology. Various characterizations such as UV-Vis absorption, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, Mott-Schottky, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were conducted and the PEC performances were investigated.展开更多

Compared with the traditional industrial additives, gelatine and gum arabic, [BMIM]HSO4 has more excellent chemical and thermal stabilities. The inhibition effects of gelatine and gum arabic on the zinc electrocrystallization are observed to markedly weaken due to their part degradation after 12 h longtime successive electrolysis and high temperature (90 ℃) treatments. In contrast, the activity of [BMIM]HSO4 is practically unaffected after 24 h longtime successive electrolysis and high temperature treatments. These results are corroborated with the corresponding morphological analysis of the cathodic deposits.展开更多
