XRD,TEM,XPS and surface analysis method were used to study the effect of dopant lanthanum on the alumina.The results showed that lanthanum ion could suppress alumina transition to α-phase and then inhibit alumina from sintering and the thermal stability of the Al 2O 3 was improved. Different ratios of La/Al had different effects on the specific surface area of Al 2O 3.The Al 2O 3 containing 1.0 mol/% lanthanum has a BET specific surface area of 71.8 m 2/g after calcination for 32 hours at 1*#100℃, whereas the undoped Al 2O 3 only had a BET specific surface area of 10 m 2/g under similar conditions.展开更多

The synthesis parameters, such as the reaction temperature, the first aging temperature and the second aging temperature, were investigated. The textural properties of γ-Al2O3 were characterized by means of N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry (TG). The experimental results indicated that AACH and amorphous A1OOH were the precursors of alumina, which were formed via precipitation from solutions after reaction of aluminum sulphate with ammonium hydrogen carbonate. The precursor nanocrystallites grew and re-assembled during the secondary reforming process, which resulted in an increased pore size and pore volume and a decreased bulk density. The as-synthesized γ-Al2O3 materials featured meso/macroporosity, large pore volume (2.175 cm^3/g), high surface area (237.8 m^2/g), and low bulk density (0.284 g/mL).展开更多

This structured layer acts as an anchor to bind additional coatings of alumina via wash-coat techniques, thereby improving the layer thickness and increasing adhesion of the catalytic surface. Optimisation of the layer thickness and catalytic properties were conducted, using a range of analytical systems [scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)]. The modified FeCralloy(R) rods were tested in a fixed bed reactor rig to assess the impact on yield for the dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane.展开更多

Then metallic structures of copper were made on the implanted ceramics, by using selective electroless copper plating. In addition, the characteristics and microstructure of the implanted layer were studied by using the SEM, RBS and XPS. The results show that: 1) the implanted Ni exits as Ni^2, Ni^2+, and Ni^3+ in the surface of Al2O3 and metal Ni particles precipitate on ceramics during implantation; 2) the concentration of Ni submits to the Gauss distribution along the direction of implantation on the surface of Al2O3 and high Ni concentration on the surface can be obtained if the Ni is implanted with low energy and a high dosage and 3) Ni ion implantation can activate the surface of Al2O3 and induce electroless copper plating on the ceramics.展开更多

In this work, the composition, microstructure and elemental distribution of ceramic coatings formed by MPO on LY 12 almnlnum alloy and its hardness are investigated using XRD, EPMA and microhardness instruments. The results show that the ceramic coatings consist of mullite,γ-Al2O3 and a lot of amorphous matter. The content of silicon in the coatings increases from interface to the coatings, however, the content of aluminum decreases along this direction. The maximum hardness of ceramic coatings is up to 9.2 GPa.展开更多

For the alloy with Mg content below 2.0wt%, whether under cold rolling condition or during medium-temperature brazing process, the enrichment of Mg element on the surface was not detected and the oxide film was pure Al2O3. However, the oxide film grew obviously during medium-temperature brazing process, and the thickness was about 80 nm. For the alloy with Mg content above 2.0wt%, under cold rolling condition, the original surface oxide film was pure Al2O3. However, the Mg element was significantly enriched on the outermost surface during medium-temperature brazing process, and MgO-based oxide film mixed with small amount of MgAl2O4 was formed with a thickness of about 130 nm. The alloying elements of Mn and Si were not enriched on the surface neither under cold rolling condition nor during mediumtemperature brazing process for all the selected aluminum alloy, and the surface oxide film was similar to that of pure aluminum, which was almost entire Al2O3.展开更多

The new cathode is impregnated with a new active substance with molar ratio of 26BaO·29SrO·8Sc2O3 ·7CaO·Al2O3 . This paper introduces the emission performance, surface active material, and work function of the new cathode. At 1100℃B , the DC current density and pulse current density are 30.6±1.0 A/cm2 and 171.6±2.8 A/cm2 , respectively, 2.1 and 5.4 times of that of an M-type cathode. The work function of the new cathode is 1.668± 0.002 eV. High concentration O-Al-Sc-Sr-Ba and O-Al-Sc-Ba are found in the pores and at pore edges, respectively. By comparing the emission performances and surface characteristics of as-polished and as-cleaned cathodes, it is proposed that, the emission around pore ends forms the major part of the total emission for the new cathodes.展开更多

文摘To contribute to the understanding of Eu(Ⅲ)interaction properties on hydrous alumina particles in the absence and presence of fulvic acid(FA),the complexation properties of Eu(Ⅲ)with hydrous alumina,FA and FA-alumina hybrids are studied by batch and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy(TRLFS)techniques.The continuous increase in the fluorescence lifetime of Eu-alumina and Eu-FA with increasing pH indicates that the complexation is accompanied by decreasing number of hydration water in the first coordination sphere of Eu(Ⅲ).Eu(Ⅲ)is adsorbed onto alumina particles as outer-sphere surface complexes of≡(Al-O)-Eu·(OH)·7H_2O and≡(Al-O)-Eu·6H_2O at low pH values,and as inner-sphere surface complexes as≡(Al-O)_2-Eu^+·4H_2O at high pH.In FA solution,Eu(Ⅲ)forms complexes with FA as(COO)_2Eu^+(H_2O)_x and the hydration water number in the first coordination sphere decreases with pH increasing.The formation of≡COO-Eu-(O-Al≡)·4H_2O is observed on FA-alumina hybrids,suggesting the formation of strong inner-sphere surface complexes in the presence of FA.The surface complexes are also characterized by their emission spectra[the ratio of emission intensities of^5D_0→~7F_1(λ=594nm)and^5D_0→~7F_2(λ=619nm)transitions]and their fluorescence lifetime.The findings is important to understand the contribution of FA in the complexation properties of Eu(Ⅲ)on FA-alumina hybrids that the clarification of the environmental behavior of humic substances is necessary to understand fully the behavior of Eu(Ⅲ),or its analogue trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions in natural environment.
