The morphologies, elemental distribution and chemical structures of the coatings were examined via SEM, EPMA, EDS, XRD and FT-IR. The corrosion resistance was assessed by hydrogen evolution, potentiodynamic polarization and EIS. The results show that the coating is composed of single element Zn and ZnO at below 45 ℃;whereas the coatings are predominantly characterized by Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O and small amount of element zinc and ZnO at above 50 ℃. Mg-Li-Ca alloy with Zn-Ca-P coatings prepared at 55 ℃ has the highest corrosion resistance. However, the hydrogen evolution rates of the coatings obtained at 40-50 ℃ is accelerated due to the galvanic corrosion between the imperfection of the single element Zn coating and the Mg substrate.展开更多

The chemical compositions, morphologies and corrosion resistance of coatings were investigated through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with hydrogen volumetric and electrochemical tests. The results indicate that both coatings predominately contain crystalline hopeite (Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O), Mg3(PO4)2 and Ca3(PO4)2, and traces of non-crystalline MgF2 and CaF2. The Zn-Ca-Ce-P coating is more compact than the Zn-Ca-P coating due to the formation of CePO4, and displays better corrosion resistance than the Zn-Ca-P coating. Both coatings protect the AZ31 Mg substrate only during an initial immersion period. The micro-galvanic corrosion between the coatings and their substrates leads to an increase of hydrogen evolution rate (HER) with extending the immersion time. The addition of Ce promotes the homogenous distribution of Ca and formation of hopeite. The Zn-Ca-Ce-P coating has the potential for the primer coating on magnesium alloys.展开更多

XRF, XRD and SEM techniques were used to characterize the composition, mineral phase component and microstructure of the titanium slag. The H3PO4 oxidation thermodynamic, mineral phase transformation, microstructure, element distribution in titanium slag during H3PO4 oxidation process and leaching process were investigated. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that H3PO4 could promote the decomposition of MgTi2O5 and CaSiO3. The results indicated that H3PO4 could effectively promote the transformation of titanium-bearing mineral to rutile and enrich the impurities in MxTi(3-x)O5 into phosphate which could be removed by acid leaching process. Under the studied conditions, the leaching rates of magnesium and calcium reached 94.68% and 87.19%, respectively. The acid leached slag containing 0.19% MgO and 0.13% CaO(mass fraction) was obtained.展开更多

In addition to the controls,five vegetable waste mixtures(0.77m^3 each) were treated with different amounts of the SP additive, namely, 5%, 10%,15%, 20% and 25%. The ammonia volatilization loss and greenhouse gas emissions were measured during composting.Results indicated that the SP additive significantly decreased the ammonia volatilization and greenhouse gas emissions during vegetable waste composting. The additive reduced the total NH_3 emission by 4.0% to 16.7%. The total greenhouse gas emissions(CO_2-eq) of all treatments with SP additives were decreased by 10.2% to 20.8%, as compared with the controls. The NH_3 emission during vegetable waste composting had the highest contribution to the greenhouse effect caused by the four different gases.The amount of NH_3(CO_2-eq)from each treatment ranged from 59.90 to 81.58 kg/t; NH_3(CO_2-eq) accounted for 69% to 77% of the total emissions from the four gases. Therefore, SP is a cost-effective phosphorus-based fertilizer that can be used as an additive during vegetable waste composting to reduce the NH_3 and greenhouse gas emissions as well as to improve the value of compost as a fertilizer.展开更多

Although the current knowledge of this potassium channel is inadequate, researches have demonstrated that TRESK is remarkablely linked to acute and chronic pain by activation of calcineurin. The fact that TRESK is sensitive to volatile anesthetics and localization in central nerve system implies that TRESK may play a very important role in the mechanism mediating general anesthesia. The further research of TRESK may contribute to explore the underlying mechanism of some pathological conditions and yield novel treatments for some diseases.展开更多

The treated samples are covered by films composed of nano-particles with the size of 60-240 nm. Such film can also be grown on the strut surface of a Ti6Al4 V scaffold prepared by electron beam melting(EBM) technology. XPS analysis indicates that Ti element on the surface presents as TiO2, and Ca and P elements are in the form of calcium phosphate. XRD and Raman analyses show that the surface layer is composed of anatase TiO2 and hydroxyapatite. Potentiodynamic polarization test in a Ca-free Hank's balanced solution demonstrates that the treated sample has markedly improved corrosion resistance compared with the polished sample. The present work provides a bioactive surface modification method that is easily-operated, low-temperature, less corrosion, and applicable to porous Ti6Al4 V alloy for biomedical applications.展开更多

Nano β-TCP particles were added into Mg-Zn-Zr alloy to improve its microstructure and the properties. As-extruded Mg-3Zn-0.8Zr alloy and Mg-3Zn-0.8Zr/xβ-TCP (x=0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%) composites were respectively fabricated. The grains of Mg-Zn-Zr/β-TCP composites were significantly refined. The results of the tensile tests indicate that the ultimate tensile strength and the elongation of composites were improved with the addition of β-TCP. The electrochemical test result in simulation body fluid shows that the corrosion resistance of the composites was strongly enhanced comparing with that of the alloy. The corrosion potential of Mg-3Zn0.8-Zr/1.0β-TCP composite is 1.547 V and its corrosion current density is 1.20×10 6 A/cm 2 .展开更多

The ...A facile one-step co-precipitation method was demonstrated to fabricate amorphous sulfurcontaining calcium phosphate (SCP) nanoparticles, in which the sulfur group was in-situ introduced into calcium phosphate. The resulting SCP exhibited a noticeable enhanced performance for Pb(II) removal in comparison with hydroxyapatite (HAP), being capable of easily reducing 20 ppm of Pb(II) to below the acceptable standard for drinking water within less than 10 min. Remarkably, the saturated removal capacities of Pb(II) on SCP were as high as 1720.57 mg/g calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model, exceeding largely that of the previously reported absorbents. Significantly, SCP displayed highly selective removal ability toward Pb(II) ions in the presence of the competing metal ions (Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)). Further investigations indicated that such ultra-high removal efficiency and preferable affinity of Pb(II) ions on SCP may be reasonably ascribed to the formation of rodlike hydroxypyromorphite crystals on the surface of SCP via dissolution-precipitation and ion exchange reactions, accompanied by the presence of lead sulfide precipitates. High removal efficiency, fast removal kinetics and excellent selectivity toward Pb(II) made the obtained SCP material an ideal candidate for Pb(II) ions decontamination in practical application.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to characterize the morphology and structure of the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads. The effects of pH and the initial concentration of the metal ions on Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption by the beads were investigated. The optimal pH values for Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption are 4.0 and 5.5, respectively. The optimal initial concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are 200 mg/L and 25 mg/L, correspondingly, and the removal efficiencies are 94.2% and 80%,respectively. The sorption mechanism is that the heavy metal ions accessed the beads firstly due to the large surface area, combinedwith OH?, and then precipitated with phosphate radical, which was proven by FTIR and XRD. The sorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) isfitted to Langmuir isotherm model with R2 values of 0.9957 and 0.988, respectively. The sorption capacities of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are263.16 mg/g and 82.64 mg/g, respectively. The results indicate that the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads could be appliedto treating Pb(II)/Cd(II)-containing wastewater and it could be implied that the synthesized beads also could be used as a kind of soil ameliorant for remediation of the heavy metal contaminated paddy soil.展开更多

The process was carried out with an electrochemical work-station supplying a direct current power at potential of -0.8V (vs SCE). The electrolyte consists of 7 mmol·L-1 CaCl2·2H2O, 3 mmol·L-1 Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O and 2.5% H2O2. NaOH and HCl solutions were used to adjust pH value. The deposited samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The comparison of the deposits obtained at lower and higher pH values demonstrates that the crystallization process at the interface is favoured by high pH value. With temperature increasing, the deposited hydroxyapatite is occasionally of plate-like shape, and the width and the length of the deposited calcium phosphates at 65 ℃ are larger than those at 55 ℃. Therefore, it is confirmed that the morphology and microstructure of electrochemically deposited calcium phosphates can be regulated. Additionally, the coating formed in electrolyte with H2O2 additive is homogeneous and the evolution of H2 bubble can be eliminated.展开更多

Soi...A long-term (21-year) field experiment was performed to study the responses of soil inorganic P fractions and P availability to annual fertilizer P application in a calcareous soil on the Loess Plateau of China. Soil Olsen-P contents increased by 3.7, 5.2, 11.2 and 20.6 mg P kg-1 after 21-year annual fertilizer P application at 20, 39, 59, and 79 kg P ha-1, respectively. Long-term fertilizer P addition also increased soil total P and inorganic P (Pi) contents significantly. The contents of inorganic P fractions were in the order of Ca10-P 〉 Cas-P 〉 Fe-P 〉 A1-P 〉 occluded P 〉 Ca2-P in the soil receiving annual fertilizer P application. Fertilizer P application increased Cas-P, A1-P and Ca2-P contents as well as their percentages relative to Pi. Pi application increased Fe-P and occluded P contents but nor their percentages. Soil Ca10- P content remained unchanged after fertilizer P application while its percentage relative to Pi declined with increasing fertilizer P rate. All Pi fractions but Ca10-P were correlated with Olsen-P significantly. 90% of variations in Olsen-P could be explained by Pi fractions, and the direct contribution of Cas-P was predominant. Long-term annual superphosphate application would facilitate the accumulation of soil Cas-P, and thus improve soil P availability.展开更多

This study focused on the transformations of monocalcium phosphate (Ca(H_2PO_4)_2) (MCP)with co-application of ammonium and potassium fertilizers in three different soils. The resultsshowed that after 1 d incubation a large portion of the MCP applied in the paddy, calcareous and redsoils became the water-insoluble form and the recoveries of P applied as Olsen P varied greatly inthese three soils. Application of ammonium sulfate ((NH_4)_2SO_4) (AS) or potassium chloride (KCl)reduced WSP significantly the soils with AS more effective than KCl in the calcareous soil, whilethe reverse occurred in the red soil. Meanwhile, in the paddy soil, co-application of the twofertilizers reduced WSP more than when the fertilizers were applied individually. The co-applicationof AS with MCP in the paddy and calcareous soils significantly reduced Olsen P, but the oppositeoccurred in the red soil. The experiment on the effect of different accompanying anions showed thatthe ammonium fertilizers (PNCl and PNS) reduced WSP more effectively than the correspondingpotassium fertilizers (PKCl and PKS) in the calcareous soil due to the difference of the cations,whereas in the red soil, the chlorides reduced WSP more effectively than the sulfates. Overall,co-application of ammonium or potassium fertilizers with MCP significantly decreased availability ofP from MCP during its transformation in soils, especially when MCP was applied in combination withammonium in the calcareous soil.展开更多

It was emphasized on basic theories, such as formation of globular grains, theology, high pressure solidification and plastic deformation and applications, such as material design, preparation of semi-solid billets (slurries), thixoforming and application status, which are based on the advantage of semi-solid processing. The results show that the gap of SSP between world level and China exists, especially in application technologies, including market recognition, application fields exploiting, developing of billets (slurries) preparation technologies with low cost and special equipments. The prospect of semi-solid forming development path in China is presented. And we hope that application of SSP has great new breakthrough and development and China wilt be changed from a large metal processing country to a powerful metal processing country.展开更多

The influence of ammonium sulfate (AS), monocMcium phosphate (MCP), and potassium chloride application on K fractions in three typical soils of China was evaluated during 90-d laboratory soil incubation. The presence of AS significantly altered the distribution of native and added K in soils, while addition of MCP did not significantly affected K equilibrium in most cases. Addition of AS significantly increased water-soluble K (WSK), decreased exchangeable K (EK) in almost all the soils except the paddy soil that contained considerable amounts of 2:1 type clay minerals with K added, retarded the formation of fixed K in the soils with K added, and suppressed the release of fixed K in the three soils without K added. These interactions might be expected to influence the K availability to plants when the soil was fertilized with AS. To improve K fertilizer use efficiency, whether combined application of AS and K was to be recommended or avoided should depend on K status of the soil, soil properties, and cropping systems.展开更多

文摘To study the effects of superphosphate(SP) on the NH_3 and greenhouse gas emissions,vegetable waste composting was performed for 27 days using 6 different treatments. In addition to the controls,five vegetable waste mixtures(0.77m^3 each) were treated with different amounts of the SP additive, namely, 5%, 10%,15%, 20% and 25%. The ammonia volatilization loss and greenhouse gas emissions were measured during composting.Results indicated that the SP additive significantly decreased the ammonia volatilization and greenhouse gas emissions during vegetable waste composting. The additive reduced the total NH_3 emission by 4.0% to 16.7%. The total greenhouse gas emissions(CO_2-eq) of all treatments with SP additives were decreased by 10.2% to 20.8%, as compared with the controls. The NH_3 emission during vegetable waste composting had the highest contribution to the greenhouse effect caused by the four different gases.The amount of NH_3(CO_2-eq)from each treatment ranged from 59.90 to 81.58 kg/t; NH_3(CO_2-eq) accounted for 69% to 77% of the total emissions from the four gases. Therefore, SP is a cost-effective phosphorus-based fertilizer that can be used as an additive during vegetable waste composting to reduce the NH_3 and greenhouse gas emissions as well as to improve the value of compost as a fertilizer.

文摘TRESK is the most recently reported two-pore domain K^+ channel, and different from other two-pore domain channels in gene, molecular structure, electrophysiological and pharmacological properties. Although the current knowledge of this potassium channel is inadequate, researches have demonstrated that TRESK is remarkablely linked to acute and chronic pain by activation of calcineurin. The fact that TRESK is sensitive to volatile anesthetics and localization in central nerve system implies that TRESK may play a very important role in the mechanism mediating general anesthesia. The further research of TRESK may contribute to explore the underlying mechanism of some pathological conditions and yield novel treatments for some diseases.

文摘Ti6Al4V alloy was subjected to hydrothermal treatment in the concentrated Ca3(PO4)2, Ca HPO4 and Ca(H2PO4)2 solutions for bioactive surface modification. The treated samples are covered by films composed of nano-particles with the size of 60-240 nm. Such film can also be grown on the strut surface of a Ti6Al4 V scaffold prepared by electron beam melting(EBM) technology. XPS analysis indicates that Ti element on the surface presents as TiO2, and Ca and P elements are in the form of calcium phosphate. XRD and Raman analyses show that the surface layer is composed of anatase TiO2 and hydroxyapatite. Potentiodynamic polarization test in a Ca-free Hank's balanced solution demonstrates that the treated sample has markedly improved corrosion resistance compared with the polished sample. The present work provides a bioactive surface modification method that is easily-operated, low-temperature, less corrosion, and applicable to porous Ti6Al4 V alloy for biomedical applications.

文摘Magnesium alloys have good biocompatibility, but their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance may not be satisfied for using as degradable materials within bone due to its high corrosion rate in the physiological environment. Nano β-TCP particles were added into Mg-Zn-Zr alloy to improve its microstructure and the properties. As-extruded Mg-3Zn-0.8Zr alloy and Mg-3Zn-0.8Zr/xβ-TCP (x=0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%) composites were respectively fabricated. The grains of Mg-Zn-Zr/β-TCP composites were significantly refined. The results of the tensile tests indicate that the ultimate tensile strength and the elongation of composites were improved with the addition of β-TCP. The electrochemical test result in simulation body fluid shows that the corrosion resistance of the composites was strongly enhanced comparing with that of the alloy. The corrosion potential of Mg-3Zn0.8-Zr/1.0β-TCP composite is 1.547 V and its corrosion current density is 1.20×10 6 A/cm 2 .
文摘A facile one-step co-precipitation method was demonstrated to fabricate amorphous sulfurcontaining calcium phosphate (SCP) nanoparticles, in which the sulfur group was in-situ introduced into calcium phosphate. The resulting SCP exhibited a noticeable enhanced performance for Pb(II) removal in comparison with hydroxyapatite (HAP), being capable of easily reducing 20 ppm of Pb(II) to below the acceptable standard for drinking water within less than 10 min. Remarkably, the saturated removal capacities of Pb(II) on SCP were as high as 1720.57 mg/g calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model, exceeding largely that of the previously reported absorbents. Significantly, SCP displayed highly selective removal ability toward Pb(II) ions in the presence of the competing metal ions (Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)). Further investigations indicated that such ultra-high removal efficiency and preferable affinity of Pb(II) ions on SCP may be reasonably ascribed to the formation of rodlike hydroxypyromorphite crystals on the surface of SCP via dissolution-precipitation and ion exchange reactions, accompanied by the presence of lead sulfide precipitates. High removal efficiency, fast removal kinetics and excellent selectivity toward Pb(II) made the obtained SCP material an ideal candidate for Pb(II) ions decontamination in practical application.

文摘The increasing demand for iron ore in the world causes the continuous exhaustion of magnetite resources.The utilization of high-phosphorus iron ore becomes the focus.With calcium carbonate(CaCO_(3)),calcium chloride(CaCl_(2)),or calcium sulfate(CaSO_(4))as additive,the process of direct reduction and phosphorus removal of high-phosphorus iron ore(phosphorus mainly occurred in the form of Fe_(3)PO_(7) and apatite)was studied by using the technique of direct reductiongrinding-magnetic separation.The mechanism of calcium compounds to reduce phosphorus was investigated from thermodynamics,iron metallization degree,mineral composition and microstructure.Results showed that Fe_(3)PO_(7) was reduced to elemental phosphorus without calcium compounds.The iron-phosphorus alloy was generated by react of metallic iron and phosphorus,resulting in high phosphorus in reduced iron products.CaCO_(3) promoted the reduction of hematite and magnetite,and improved iron metallization degree,but inhibited the growth of metallic iron particles.CaCl_(2) strengthened the growth of iron particles.However,the recovery of iron was reduced due to the formation of volatile FeCl_(2).CaSO_(4) promoted the growth of iron particles,but the recovery of iron was drastically reduced due to the formation of non-magnetic FeS.CaCO_(3),CaCl_(2) or CaSO_(4) could react with Fe_(3)PO_(7) to form calcium phosphate(Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)).With the addition of CaCO_(3),Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) was closely combined with fine iron particles.It is difficult to separate iron and phosphorus by grinding and magnetic separation,resulting in the reduced iron product phosphorus content of 0.18%.In the presence of CaCl_(2) or CaSO_(4),the boundary between the generated Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) and the metallic iron particles was obvious.Phosphorus was removed by grinding and magnetic separation,and the phosphorus content in the reduced iron product was less than 0.10%.

文摘The phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads were successfully synthesized based on sodium alginate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium hydrogen carbonate. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to characterize the morphology and structure of the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads. The effects of pH and the initial concentration of the metal ions on Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption by the beads were investigated. The optimal pH values for Pb(II) and Cd(II) sorption are 4.0 and 5.5, respectively. The optimal initial concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are 200 mg/L and 25 mg/L, correspondingly, and the removal efficiencies are 94.2% and 80%,respectively. The sorption mechanism is that the heavy metal ions accessed the beads firstly due to the large surface area, combinedwith OH?, and then precipitated with phosphate radical, which was proven by FTIR and XRD. The sorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) isfitted to Langmuir isotherm model with R2 values of 0.9957 and 0.988, respectively. The sorption capacities of Pb(II) and Cd(II) are263.16 mg/g and 82.64 mg/g, respectively. The results indicate that the phosphate-embedded calcium alginate beads could be appliedto treating Pb(II)/Cd(II)-containing wastewater and it could be implied that the synthesized beads also could be used as a kind of soil ameliorant for remediation of the heavy metal contaminated paddy soil.
文摘The influences of pH value, electrolyte temperature and loading time on depositing calcium phosphate coating on pure titanium substrate by electrodeposition process were investigated. The process was carried out with an electrochemical work-station supplying a direct current power at potential of -0.8V (vs SCE). The electrolyte consists of 7 mmol·L-1 CaCl2·2H2O, 3 mmol·L-1 Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O and 2.5% H2O2. NaOH and HCl solutions were used to adjust pH value. The deposited samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The comparison of the deposits obtained at lower and higher pH values demonstrates that the crystallization process at the interface is favoured by high pH value. With temperature increasing, the deposited hydroxyapatite is occasionally of plate-like shape, and the width and the length of the deposited calcium phosphates at 65 ℃ are larger than those at 55 ℃. Therefore, it is confirmed that the morphology and microstructure of electrochemically deposited calcium phosphates can be regulated. Additionally, the coating formed in electrolyte with H2O2 additive is homogeneous and the evolution of H2 bubble can be eliminated.

文摘A long-term (21-year) field experiment was performed to study the responses of soil inorganic P fractions and P availability to annual fertilizer P application in a calcareous soil on the Loess Plateau of China. Soil Olsen-P contents increased by 3.7, 5.2, 11.2 and 20.6 mg P kg-1 after 21-year annual fertilizer P application at 20, 39, 59, and 79 kg P ha-1, respectively. Long-term fertilizer P addition also increased soil total P and inorganic P (Pi) contents significantly. The contents of inorganic P fractions were in the order of Ca10-P 〉 Cas-P 〉 Fe-P 〉 A1-P 〉 occluded P 〉 Ca2-P in the soil receiving annual fertilizer P application. Fertilizer P application increased Cas-P, A1-P and Ca2-P contents as well as their percentages relative to Pi. Pi application increased Fe-P and occluded P contents but nor their percentages. Soil Ca10- P content remained unchanged after fertilizer P application while its percentage relative to Pi declined with increasing fertilizer P rate. All Pi fractions but Ca10-P were correlated with Olsen-P significantly. 90% of variations in Olsen-P could be explained by Pi fractions, and the direct contribution of Cas-P was predominant. Long-term annual superphosphate application would facilitate the accumulation of soil Cas-P, and thus improve soil P availability.

文摘Interactions of N, P and K fertilizers in soil-plant systems are widelyrecognized. This study focused on the transformations of monocalcium phosphate (Ca(H_2PO_4)_2) (MCP)with co-application of ammonium and potassium fertilizers in three different soils. The resultsshowed that after 1 d incubation a large portion of the MCP applied in the paddy, calcareous and redsoils became the water-insoluble form and the recoveries of P applied as Olsen P varied greatly inthese three soils. Application of ammonium sulfate ((NH_4)_2SO_4) (AS) or potassium chloride (KCl)reduced WSP significantly the soils with AS more effective than KCl in the calcareous soil, whilethe reverse occurred in the red soil. Meanwhile, in the paddy soil, co-application of the twofertilizers reduced WSP more than when the fertilizers were applied individually. The co-applicationof AS with MCP in the paddy and calcareous soils significantly reduced Olsen P, but the oppositeoccurred in the red soil. The experiment on the effect of different accompanying anions showed thatthe ammonium fertilizers (PNCl and PNS) reduced WSP more effectively than the correspondingpotassium fertilizers (PKCl and PKS) in the calcareous soil due to the difference of the cations,whereas in the red soil, the chlorides reduced WSP more effectively than the sulfates. Overall,co-application of ammonium or potassium fertilizers with MCP significantly decreased availability ofP from MCP during its transformation in soils, especially when MCP was applied in combination withammonium in the calcareous soil.

文摘Calcium molybdate(CaMoO4)is the main component of powellite and is a predominant intermediate in the pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical process of molybdenum.The extraction of Mo from CaMoO4 by a combination of phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid was investigated.For further understanding of the leaching mechanism,the effects of five key factors were studied to describe the leaching kinetics.The results indicated that the dissolution rate of CaMoO4 was independent of the stirring speed.Mo extraction significantly increased with increasing HCl concentration and temperature,but decreased with increasing particle size.A shrinking core model with surface chemical reaction was found to withstand the dissolution of CaMoO4.The apparent activation energy was calculated to be 70.879 kJ/mol,and a semi-empirical equation was derived for the rate of reaction.
文摘In order to adapt to the trend of "energy saving and emission reduction" and impel the practical application of semi solid processing (SSP) in China, the progress and application of semi-solid theory in China have been reviewed briefly and systematically. It was emphasized on basic theories, such as formation of globular grains, theology, high pressure solidification and plastic deformation and applications, such as material design, preparation of semi-solid billets (slurries), thixoforming and application status, which are based on the advantage of semi-solid processing. The results show that the gap of SSP between world level and China exists, especially in application technologies, including market recognition, application fields exploiting, developing of billets (slurries) preparation technologies with low cost and special equipments. The prospect of semi-solid forming development path in China is presented. And we hope that application of SSP has great new breakthrough and development and China wilt be changed from a large metal processing country to a powerful metal processing country.

文摘Soil potassium (K) deficiency has been increasing over recent decades as a result of higher inputs of N and P fertilizers concomitant with lower inputs of K fertilizers in China; however, the effects of interactions between N, P, and K of fertilizers on K status in soils have not been thoroughly investigated for optimizing N, P, and K fertilizer use efficiency. The influence of ammonium sulfate (AS), monocMcium phosphate (MCP), and potassium chloride application on K fractions in three typical soils of China was evaluated during 90-d laboratory soil incubation. The presence of AS significantly altered the distribution of native and added K in soils, while addition of MCP did not significantly affected K equilibrium in most cases. Addition of AS significantly increased water-soluble K (WSK), decreased exchangeable K (EK) in almost all the soils except the paddy soil that contained considerable amounts of 2:1 type clay minerals with K added, retarded the formation of fixed K in the soils with K added, and suppressed the release of fixed K in the three soils without K added. These interactions might be expected to influence the K availability to plants when the soil was fertilized with AS. To improve K fertilizer use efficiency, whether combined application of AS and K was to be recommended or avoided should depend on K status of the soil, soil properties, and cropping systems.
