Hydroxides and oxides of Al, Fe and Mn were prepared in lab under opened and closed conditions to react with phosphate. The newly formed Mn hydroxide showed the strongest P-fixing abilityl even several times higher than Fe hydroxide, but became the lowest rapidly due to ageing when exposed to air. Mn oxide showed the lowest p-fixing ability. Therefore, a sound consideration on P fixation should be based on both quantities and p-fixing abilities of the compounds of Fe, Al and Mn. The importance of Mn on P availability should receive more attention especially under oxidation-reduction dynamic conditions.展开更多

The dominant crystalline Fe oxide was hematite in the latosols and goethitesin the red soils.In yellow-brown soils, the only crystalline Fe oxide was goethite.The difference between Aldand Alo came mainly from the Al substituting for Fe in the pe oxides. The crystal morphology of goethiteappeared mainly as subrounded flat or iso-dimensional rather than acicular particles. Hematites occurredin plates of various thickness. Their MCDa/MCDc ratios in the latosols and red soils were generally above1.5 and below 1.5, respectively. The MCD values of goethites and hematites were 15-25nm and 20-35nm,and their specific surface areas were 80-120m ̄2/g and 35-75m ̄2/g, respectively.The goethite crystals weregenerally smaller. Variations of the total amounts of crystalline Fe oxi es in clay fractions were not related tophosphate adsorption. The types, contents and morphologies of crystalline Fe oxides in the soils remarkablyaffected phosphate adsorption characteristics of the soils. The phosphate adsorption of goethite was muchgreater than that of hematite. The higher the MCD /MCDc rotio of hematite, the lower the phosphateadsorption.展开更多

It is found that the phosphate precursors(Na_(3)PO_(4), Na_(2)HPO_(4)and NaH_(2)PO_(4)) have diverse effects on the morphology and thus the oxygen evolution reaction activity of the formed final catalysts. The resulting NiFe(oxy)hydroxides nanosheets prepared with Na_(2)HPO_(4)demonstrate a low overpotential of 205 m V to achieve a current density of 50 mA/cm^(2) with a Tafel slope down to 30 mV/dec in 1 mol/L KOH, and remain stable for 20 h during stability test.展开更多

The technique invo1ved leachingpyrite particles with a solution containing low concentrations of phosphate and hydrogen peroxide. Duringthe leaching process, the iron released from pyrite by hydrogen proxide was precipitated by phosphate as aferric phosphate coating. This coating was shown to be able to effectively prevent Pyrite from oxidation and itcould be established at the expense of only surface portions of Pyrite. The emergence of this technique couldprovide a unique potential route for abating acid mine drainage and reclaiming sulfide-containing degradedmining land.展开更多

Pyrites are oxidized by A.f. to produce H_2SO_4 and FeSO_4; the rock phosphate is decomposed by H_2SO_4, forming soluble phosphorus compounds; and Fe2+ from FeSO_4 is oxidized to Fe^3+, providing energy for the growth of A. f.. In this process, as H_2SO_4 is produced in the reaction, an acidic condition in the culture medium is formed, which benefits the growth of A. f. and aids both continuous oxidation of pyrites and leaching of soluble phosphorus from rock phosphate. The fraction of phosphorous leached can reach the largest in the presence of 1.0 g/L Fe^3+, 200 mg/L Mg^2+ and 400 mg/L NH_4^+. The optimal technological parameters on the fraction of phosphorous leached are as follows: the volume fraction of inocula of A. f., the mass ratio of pyrites to rock phosphate and the pH value are in ranges of 5%-25%, 3:1-5:1 and 1.8-2.2, respectively.展开更多

Glass structure was measured by infrared absorption spectrum. Glass density (/9) was measured by the Archimedes method. Coefficients of thermal expansion (a) and characterization temperature were obtained by a dilatometer. Water durability of each glass was estimated from the dissolution rate (DR)in water at 90 ℃ for 24 h. With increasing Zn/P ratio, water durability of zinc-iron phosphate glasses increases dramatically without large increase in the characterization temperature. (80-x)ZnO-20Fe2O3-xP2O5 glasses with 0.3≤Zn/P≤0.5 are suit for low-to-mid temperature sealing application for substrates with a〈8.0× 10^-6℃^-1.展开更多

By influencing types of phosphateions in solutions, pH affected the chemical forms of P on goethite surfaces. The amount of OH ̄- displacedby phosphate on goethite surfaces was the most at pH 7.0, the second at pH 9.0, and the least at pH 4.5.展开更多
