Removal ratio of Cu in raw tellurium reaches 99% after raw tellurium is oxidized and leached with HNO3(69%) under the following conditions: 0.96 times stoichiometric quantity of concentrated nitric acid, 4:1 of ratio of liquid to solid, 20 °C of reaction temperature and 30 min of reaction time. Leaching ratio of Te reaches 99% after Te is leached with hydrochloric acid under the following conditions: 1.67 times stoichiometric quantity of hydrochloric acid, 4:1 of ratio of liquid to solid, 20 °C of reaction temperature and 30 min of reaction time. Tellurium powder(99.95%) is obtained when Te(IV) in leachate is reduced with sulfur dioxide. The purity of tellurium increases from 99.954% to 99.999 6% after tellurium(99.95%) is treated in hydrogen atmosphere at 723.15 K for 30 min.展开更多

The introduced metals induced high dispersion in the vanadium species and the formation of vanadates on the TiO2 support, and increased the amount of surface acid sites and the strength of these acids. The strong acid sites might be responsible for the high N2 selectivity at higher temperatures. Among these catalysts, Cu-V/TiO2 showed the highest activity and N2 selectivity at 225-375 ~C. The results of X-ray photo- electron spectroscopy, NH3-temperature-programmed desorption, and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy suggested that the improved performance was probably due to more active surface oxygen species and increased strong surface acid sites. The outstanding activity, stability, and SO2/H2O durability of Cu-V/TiO2 make it a candidate to be a NOx removal catalyst for stationary flue gas.展开更多

The results show that Co(...Effects of citrate concentration and pH on the electrochemical reduction process of Co(Ⅱ) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results show that Co(Ⅱ) is reduced into two species which are free Co2+ and [Co(C6H607)] in the solution composed of 0.05 mol/L CoS04·5H2O, 0.20 mol/L Na2SO4 and 0-0.40 mol/L C6H5O7Na3·2H2O in the pH range of 3-9. The reduction behavior depends on the pH of the solution. Co(H) is mainly reduced into the form of free Co^2+ at pH 3 and into the form of [Co(C6H6O7)] at the pH range of 4-6 in citrate solution. The [Co(C6H6O7)] is first reduced to an intermediate state and then to Co°. Adsorption of the intermediate state exists on the surface of the electrode. Co(Ⅱ) is difficult to be reduced in the solution with the pH above 7, because the existing Co(Ⅱ)-citrate complex species [Co(C6H5O7)]- and [Co(C6H4O7)]2- are more difficult to be reduced than the hydrogen ion.展开更多

Results showed that at pH 4.5 within 22 h direct reduction of Cr^6+ by citrate was not observed, bug for the same time when Mn^2+ (50 to 200 μmol L^-1) was added, nearly all Cr^6+ was reduced, with the higher initial Mn^2+ concentration having faster Cr^6+ reduction. In the initial stage of the reaction, the Cr^6+ reduction could be described with a pseudo-first-order kinetics equation. In the lager stage of the reaction, plots of lnc(Cr^6+) versus t, where c(Cr^6+) is the Cr^6+ concentration in the reaction and t is the reaction time, deviated from the initial linear trend. The deviations suggested that the pseudo-first-order kinetics did not apply go the whole experimental period and that some reaction intermediates could have greatly accelerated Cr^6+ reduction by citrate. The catalysis of the intermediates increased with the reaction time and gradually reached stability. Then, the plot of lnc(Cr^6+) versus t in the presence of Mn^2+ was linear again, with the rate constant increasing by 102 times compared with the absence of Mn^2+. Complexation between Mn^2+ and citrate was likely a prerequisite for the catalysis of Mn^2+ on the reaction. Additional experiments showed that introducing eghylenediaminegegraacegic acid (EDTA) into the reaction system strongly suppressed the catalysis of Mn^2+.展开更多

Both cultivars achieved greater biomass and higher total N concentration when grown in a mixed N supply than in sole NH4^+ nutrition. Supply of NO3^- increased NR activity in both leaves and roots. Expression of both NR genes was also substantially enhanced and transcript levels of OsNia2 were significantly higher than those of OsNial. NO3 also caused an increase in GS activity, but had a complex effect on the expression of the three GS genes. In roots, the OsGln1;1 transcript increased, but OsGln1;2 decreased. In leaves, NO3^- had no effect on the GS1 expression, but the transcript for OsGln2 increased both in the leaves and roots of rice with a mixed supply of N. These results suggested that the increase in GS activity might be a result of the complicated regulation of the various GS genes. In addition, the NO3-induced increase of biomass, NR activity, GS activity, and the transcript levels of NR and GS genes were proportionally higher in NG than in Y J, indicating a stronger response of NG to NO3^- nutrition than YJ.展开更多

文摘Effects of citrate concentration and pH on the electrochemical reduction process of Co(Ⅱ) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results show that Co(Ⅱ) is reduced into two species which are free Co2+ and [Co(C6H607)] in the solution composed of 0.05 mol/L CoS04·5H2O, 0.20 mol/L Na2SO4 and 0-0.40 mol/L C6H5O7Na3·2H2O in the pH range of 3-9. The reduction behavior depends on the pH of the solution. Co(H) is mainly reduced into the form of free Co^2+ at pH 3 and into the form of [Co(C6H6O7)] at the pH range of 4-6 in citrate solution. The [Co(C6H6O7)] is first reduced to an intermediate state and then to Co°. Adsorption of the intermediate state exists on the surface of the electrode. Co(Ⅱ) is difficult to be reduced in the solution with the pH above 7, because the existing Co(Ⅱ)-citrate complex species [Co(C6H5O7)]- and [Co(C6H4O7)]2- are more difficult to be reduced than the hydrogen ion.

文摘Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to compare the effect of NO3^- on the activities of nitrate reductase (NR) and glutamine synthetase (GS), and the transcript levels of two NR genes, OsNial and OsNia2, two cytosolic GS1 genes, OsGln1;1 and OsGln1;2, and one plastid GS2 gene OsGln2, in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars Nanguang (NG) and Yunjing (Y J). Both cultivars achieved greater biomass and higher total N concentration when grown in a mixed N supply than in sole NH4^+ nutrition. Supply of NO3^- increased NR activity in both leaves and roots. Expression of both NR genes was also substantially enhanced and transcript levels of OsNia2 were significantly higher than those of OsNial. NO3 also caused an increase in GS activity, but had a complex effect on the expression of the three GS genes. In roots, the OsGln1;1 transcript increased, but OsGln1;2 decreased. In leaves, NO3^- had no effect on the GS1 expression, but the transcript for OsGln2 increased both in the leaves and roots of rice with a mixed supply of N. These results suggested that the increase in GS activity might be a result of the complicated regulation of the various GS genes. In addition, the NO3-induced increase of biomass, NR activity, GS activity, and the transcript levels of NR and GS genes were proportionally higher in NG than in Y J, indicating a stronger response of NG to NO3^- nutrition than YJ.
