Dissolution kinetics and mechanism of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite in sodium hydroxide solution under atmospheric pressure

The crystal structure, morphology, dissolution kinetics and mechanism of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite in Na OH solution under atmospheric pressure were systematically investigated by XRD and SEM. The results show that the size of single crystal of gibbsite in gibbsitic bauxite is smaller than that in pure gibbsite, but the interplanar distance is larger than that of pure gibbsite, which result in more defects in the crystal and less energy needed to dissolve in alkaline solution for the gibbsitic bauxite. The dissolution kinetic equations of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite were established, and the corresponding activation energies were calculated to be 99.144 and 115.149 k J/mol, respectively.

Effects of magnesium and cooling rate on titanium phase transformation for production of TiO_2

X-ray diffraction（XRD） and crystal structure analysis were used to study the effects of Mg content and cooling rate on the titanium phase transformation of three types of titanium slag. The results indicate that in the rapid cooling process, the titanium phase is anosovite, whose chemical formula is MgnTi（3-n）O5（0n1）. In the slow cooling process, when the Mg content is high, anosovite transforms into karrooite MgTi2O5 structure; when the Mg content is low, karrooite MgTi2O5 and rutile TiO2 both exist. The stability of karrooite MgTi2O5 is better than that of anosovite MgnTi（3-n）O5. Slow cooling contributes to the doping of Mg into the anosovite crystal and stabilises the anosovite crystal structure.

Organotemplate-free Hydrothermal Synthesis of SUZ-4 Zeolite: Influence of Synthesis Conditions

Various conditions were investigated in detail for the novel organic template-free static hydrothermal synthesis of SUZ-4 zeolite in the presence of seeds. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD （X-ray diffraction）, SEM （scanning electron microscope）, TG （thermal gravimetric analysis）, ICP （inductively coupling plasma） elemental analysis, nitrogen sorption isotherm and surface area. The results show that pure SUZ-4 zeolites with high crystallinity are obtained in a broad window of synthesis conditions： seed mass concentration 0.2%-2%, SIO2/A1203 molar ratio 21 25, KOH/SiO2 molar ratio 0.33 0.43, H20/SiO2 molar ratio 7.14-38.1, aging time 24 h, crystallization temperature 160℃, and crystallization time 6-10 d. Also, crystallinity and size of the rod-like SUZ-4 zeolite crystals are found to alter with the conditions.

Design of a ZnO/Poly(vinylidene fluoride)inverse opal film for photon localization-assisted full solar spectrum photocatalysis

Owing to its photonic band gap(PBG)and slow light effects,aniline black(AB)-poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)inverse opal(IO)photonic crystal(PC)was constructed to promote the utility of light and realize photothermal synergetic catalysis.As a highly efficient reaction platform with the capability of restricting heat,a microreactor was introduced to further amplify the photothermal effects of near infrared(NIR)radiation.The photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO/0.5AB-PVDF IO(Z0.5A)increases 1.63-fold compared to that of pure ZnO film under a full solar spectrum,indicating the effectiveness of synergetic promotion by slow light and photothermal effects.Moreover,a 5.85-fold increase is achieved by combining Z0.5A with a microreactor compared to the film in a beaker.The photon localization effect of PVDF IO was further exemplified by finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)calculations.In conclusion,photonic crystal-microreactor enhanced photothermal catalysis has immense potential for alleviating the deteriorating water environment.

Force-Field Derivation and Atomistic Simulation of HMX/Graphite Interface and Polycrystal Systems

The Structure of Ammonium D,L-Tartrate

The single crystals of the title compound NH4+C4H5O6- (C4H9NO6, Mr = 167.1) were obtained from a hot aqueous solution containing L-glutamine and D,L-tartaric acid in mole ratio1:1.5. The crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 7.646(2), b = 7.804(2), c = 11.502(3)? ?= 102.26(2)o, V = 670.7(3)?, Z = 4, F(000) = 352, Dc = 1.655 g.cm-3, m(MoKa) = 0.16 mm-1, R = 0.035, wR = 0.094 for 1028 observed reflections (I>2s(I)). The enatiomeric anions of the tartrate with both (2S,3S)- and (2R,3R)-configuration co-exist in the unit cell. The carbon skeleton assumes a coplanar arrangement with a torsion angle of 181.5o. The three- dimensional H-bonding network exists in the crystal. While tartrate groups link each other by H-bonds between carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, the ammonium cations insert between the tartrate groups to form a sandwich-like crystal structure.

Effects of thermoelectric-magneto convection on the solidified microstructures of Al-4.5%Cu alloy

A magnetic field was used to directional solidification of dendritic Al-Cu alloys. The primary arm spacing of the dendrites is increased with increasing the external magnetic field strength. This microstructural coarsening is related to the thermoelectric current on the l/s interface, which is induced by difference of temperature on the inter- face. Within a magnetic field Lorentz force may be generated in front of the interface, causing a thermoelectric-magneto convection that makes the microstructure coarsened. This induced convection also leads to structural instability so that the secondary arms are well developed when grown in the external field.

Sintering temperature reflected cation distribution of Zn^(2+) substituted CoFe_2O_4

The most remarkable effect in spinel ferrites is the strong dependence of properties on the state of structural disorder and,in particular,on the cation distribution.The structural characterization of a Co-Zn ferrite nanoparticle sample was reported which prepared by wet chemical co-precipitation method.The samples were sintered at three different temperatures viz.650℃,850℃ and 1050℃ for 12 h.The structural details like:lattice constant and distribution of cations in the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial voids have been deduced through X-ray diffraction (XRD) data analysis.Lattice constant was found to increase with the increase in Zn2+ ions and sintering temperature.Theoretical intensity ratios of (220),(400),(440) planes were considered,as these reflections are sensitive to cations on the A and B sites.Close agreement of the theoretical intensity ratio with the intensity ratio observed from XRD pattern supports the occupancy of Zn2+ ions and Co2+ ions on the octahedral and tetrahedral sites,respectively.

Highly Sensitive Protein Sensor Based on Thermally-Reduced Graphene Oxide Field-Effect Transistor

We report the fabrication of a highly sensitive field-effect transistor （FET） biosensor using thermally-reduced graphene oxide （TRGO） sheets functionalized with gold nanoparticle （NP）-antibody conjugates. Probe antibody was labeled on the surface of TRGO sheets through Au NPs and electrical detection of protein binding （Immunoglobulin G/IgG and anti-lmmunoglobulin G/anti-lgG） was accomplished by FET and direct current （dc） measurements. The protein binding events induced significant changes in the resistance of the TRGO sheet, which is referred to as the sensor response. The dependence of the sensor response on the TRGO base resistance in the sensor and the antibody areal density on the TRGO sheet was systematically studied, from which a correlation of the sensor response with sensor parameters was found： the sensor response was more significant with larger TRGO base resistance and higher antibody areal density. The detection limit of the novel biosensor was around the 0.2 ng/rnL level, which is among the best of,＇eported carbon nanomaterial-based protein sensors and can be further optimized by tuning the sensor structure.
