Effects of Temperature on the Preparation of Magnesium Carbonate Hydrates by Reaction of MgCI2 with Na2CO3

Homogeneous(unseeded)precipitation of magnesium carbonate hydrates by the reaction of MgCl2 with Na2CO3 in supersaturated solutions between 273 and 363K was investigated.The compositions,morphologies and filtration characteristics of the precipitates were studied in detail.The magnesium carbonate hydrates obtained at 313K and in the range of 343-363K showed good morphologies and filtration characteristics.Magnesium oxides(MgO)with high purity(97.6%-99.4%)were obtained by calcining magnesium carbonate hydrates at 1073K.

Effect of Low-pressure Carbonation on the Heat Inactivation and Cytoplasmic Acidification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Effect of low-pressure carbonation （LPC） on heat inactivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. The cell suspension was carbonated at 1 MPa and 4℃ for 15 min and subsequently heated from 51 to 61 ℃ and 5 s to 5 min （heating with LPC）. As a control experiment, cell suspension was heat-treated under atmospheric pressure without LPC （heating）. The inactivation ratio of heating at 53℃ and 55℃ for l rain with LPC was approximately 1 log order higher than heating alone. Extending heating time to 5 min did not widen the difference in the inactivation ratio between heating with LPC and heating alone at both heating temperatures. At 57℃, the difference in inactivation ratio increased from 1 to 2.5 log order with extending treatment time from 5 to 15 s. The results suggested that the enhanced inactivation effect by LPC was obtained at the higher temperature with short time treatment than the lower temperature with longer time treatment. Under fluorescence microscope observation of LPC-treated cell stained with LysoSensor probe, it seemed that LPC was hardly able to acidify the cytoplasm ofS. cerevisiae. It is considered that the ability orS. cerevisiae ceils to keep their cytoplasmic pH during LPC resulted in the inferior increase in heat inactivation ratio by LPC as compared with bacteria in the previous studies.

Reduction of lead sulfate to lead sulfide with carbon monoxide

In order to decrease the solubility of PbSO4 and enhance lead recovery from PbSO4 bearing wastes, CO was employed as a reductant to transform PbSO4 into Pb S. Reaction system was established and reductive thermodynamics of PbSO4 was calculated by software HSC 5.0. The effects of gas concentration, reaction temperature, time and mass of sample on reduction of PbSO4 were examined by thermogravimetry(TG) and XRD. Roasting tests further verify the conclusions of thermodynamic and TG analyses. The results show that increasing temperature in the reasonable range and CO content are favorable for the formation of Pb S. The reduction process is controlled by chemical reaction and calculation value of the activation energy is 47.88 k J/mol.

Microwave absorbing characteristics and temperature increasing behavior of basic cobalt carbonate in microwave field

The microwave absorbing characteristics of basic cobalt carbonate,cobalt oxide(Co3O4),and the mixture of basic cobalt carbonate and cobalt oxide were investigated by means of microwave cavity perturbation,their temperature increasing curves were measured,and their ability to absorb microwave energy was also assessed based on the temperature increasing behavior of the material exposed to microwave field.Analyses of spectrum attenuation and relative frequency shift show that basic cobalt carbonate has weak capability to absorb microwave energy,while cobalt oxide has very strong capability to absorb microwave energy.It is feasible to thermally decompose basic cobalt carbonate though addition of small amount of cobalt oxide in microwave fields.The capability to absorb microwave energy of sample increases with an increase in mixing ratio of Co3O4.

Calcium Carbonate Lab Scale Continuous Carbon Dioxide-jet Controlled Production Following Fuzzy Logic Model

In this paper, lab scale production carried out of calcium carbonate in 400 mL open cylindrical beaker reactor following fuzzy logic approach is reported. 10 grams of Calcium hydroxide is mixed in 250 mL deionized water. Continuous jet supply of carbon dioxide is maintained at controlled flow rate. Reaction histories are noted for different reaction temperatures. Continuous constant magnetic stirring is applied to maintain homogeneity. The data obtained is fuzzified by constructing universe of discourse of temperature, reaction time, and amounts of reactants with reaction conversion. Rule based model is tabulated and results show that fuzzy logic approach is promising to set on data to plan and scale up the process. It is also found that a jump can not be made at this time with few studies of fuzzy logic applications to physiochemical processes unless otherwise amassing and storing up plentiful deduced explorations.

Paleotemperature variations at Lake Caohai, southwestern China, during the past 500 years:Evidence from combined δ^(18)O analysis of cellulose and carbonates

The oxygen isotopic values of aquatic plant cellulose and carbonates in Lake Caohai sediments were measured using a continuous flow isotopic ratio mass spectrometer(CF-IRMS).Because of predictable oxygen isotopic fractionation between cellulose and its source water,the oxygen isotopic composition of paleo-lake water has been established quantitatively.Combined oxygen isotopic values of cellulose and carbonates were used in the‘Craig’equation to determine paleotemperatures and their variation in the lake during the past 500 years.Results show that the paleotemperature trend correlates well with meteorological records from Weining.There are four notable cold intervals at Lake Caohai over the past 500 years,namely 1540–1570AD,1670–1715AD,1780–1870AD and 1900–1930AD,and the former three cold intervals have been observed in the conventional Little Ice Age(LIA).These cold periods at Lake Caohai correspond well with those recorded from tree ring,peat,and ice core data from adjacent regions,particularly temperature those inferred fromδ18O of peat cellulose from Hongyuan Southwestern China.The trend in paleotemperature variations at Lake Caohai are also consistent with both the change of Indian summer monsoon,derived fromδ18O values of a stalagmite in Dongge,and a recorded shift in solar activity.The findings of this study illustrate that coupled analysis ofδ18O values of cellulose and carbonates from lake sediments may be used as a paleotemperature proxy.These results also provide further evidence of the existence of LIA in southwestern China.
