Characterization of adsorptive capacity and mechanisms on adsorption of copper, lead and zinc by modified orange peel

A novel adsorbent was prepared by modifying orange peel with sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride. The morphological and characteristics of the adsorbent were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy （IR）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and N2-adsorption techniques. The adsorption behavior of Cu^2＋, Pb^2＋ and Zn^2＋ on modified orange peel （SCOP） was studied by varying parameters like pH, initial concentration of metal ions. Equilibrium was well described by Langmuir equation with the maximum adsorption capacities for Cu^2＋, Pb^2＋ and Zn^2＋ of 70.73, 209.8 and 56.18 mg/g, respectively. Based on the results obtained in batch experiments, breakthrough profiles were examined using a column packed with SCOP for the separation of small concentration of Pb^2＋ from an excess of Zn^2＋ followed by elution tests. Ion exchange with Ca^2＋ neutralizing the carboxyl groups of the pectin was found to be the predominant mechanism.

电子封装和组装中的微连接技术之三

Sn基软钎料在室温下通常是塑性优良的自退火合金，具有优良的吸收应力性能，而且没有加工硬化等问题。因其独特的性能，软钎料能将不同膨胀系数、不同刚度和不同强度等级的材料连接到一起。因此，软钎料广泛应用于电子产品生产中。普通PCB(Printed Circuit Board)的设计与制造几乎违背了所有的力学结构设计原则，如果不是由于软钎料所具有的这种力学匹配能力，那么印刷电路板技术可能就不会存在了。其中，Sn／Pb软钎料在电子工业中一直广泛的重用，

Formation Mechanism and Binding Energy for Regular Tetrahedral Structure of Li4

The formation mechanism for the regular tetrahedral structure of Li4 cluster is proposed. The curve of the total energy versus the separation R between the two nuclei has been calculated by using the method of Gou＇s modified arrangement channel quantum mechanics （MACQM）. The result shows that the curve has a minimal energy of-29.8279 a.u. at R = 14.50 ao. When R approaches infinity the total energy of four lithium atoms has the value of-29.7121 a.u. So the binding energy of Li4 with respect to four lithium atoms is the difference of 0.1158 a.u.for the above two energy values. Therefore the binding energy per atom for Lh is 0.020 a.u., or 0.7878 eV, which is greater than the binding energy per atom of 0.453 eV for Li2, the binding energy per atom of 0.494 eV for Lia and the binding energy per atom of 0.632 eV for Li5 calculated previously by us. This means that the Li4 cluster may be formed stably in a regular tetrahedral structure of side length R = 14.50 ao with a greater binding energy.

Quantum chemical study on the catalytic mechanism of Na/K on NO-char heterogeneous reactions during the coal reburning process

Quantum chemical simulation was used to investigate the catalytic mechanism of Na/K on NO-char heterogeneous reactions during the coal reburning process. Both NO-char and NO-Na/K reactions were considered as three-step processes in this calculation. Based on geometry optimizations made using the UB3LYP/6-31G(d) method, the activation energies of NO-char and NO-Na/K reactions were calculated using the QCISD(T)/6-311G(d, p) method; Results showed that the activation energy of the NO-Na/K reaction (107.9/82.0 kJ/mol) was much lower than that of the NO-char reaction (245.1 kJ/mol). The reactions of NaO/KO and Na2O/K2O reduced by char were also studied, and their thermodynamics were calculated using the UB3LYP/6-31G(d) method; Results showed that both Na and K can be refreshed easily and rapidly by char at high temperature during the coal reburning process. Based on the calculations and analyses, the catalytic mechanism of Na/K on NO-char het-erogeneous reactions during the coal reburning process was clarified.

Statistical Law of High-Energy Fullerene and Its Derivatives Passing Through Graphene

The behavior of graphene bombarded by fullerene(C60 and C70)and its derivatives through using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method are studied.The microscopic mechanism of passing through graphene is obviously related to the initial structure of destroying carbon-carbon bonds and the strong interaction between the circular region of graphene and the cluster.The probability of passing through graphene depends on the incident velocity of clusters,the species of clusters,the temperature of heat baths,and the defect of graphene.Our results can provide a perspective for further understanding the mechanism of generating nanopores in graphene.The clusters used here may also bring about some potential utilities in tie functionalization of graphene and the production of nanopores.

The reaction electronic flux in chemical reactions

The mechanism of a chemical reaction can be characterized in terms of chemical events that take place during the reaction.These events are bond weakening/breaking and/or bond strengthening/forming.The reaction electronic flux(REF),a concept that identifies and rationalizes the electronic activity taking place along the reaction coordinate,has emerged recently as a powerful tool for characterizing the mechanism of chemical reactions.A quantitative theory introducing new descriptors for characterizing reaction mechanisms is presented in detail and three illustrative examples are revisited.In nucleophilic substitution reactions the REF indicates that bond breaking or forming events may be leading the electronic activity whereas in the methanol decomposition reaction by copper oxide,the REF allows to discover that consecutive electronic reductions of copper together with bond breaking processes control the course of the reaction.

A quantum chemistry study on reaction mechanisms of SO_2 with O_3 and H_2O_2

Reaction mechanisms of SO2 with O3 and H2O2 were investigated using quantum chemistry ab initio methods. Structures of all reactants, products, and transition states were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G＋（3df,2p） level, and energy calculations were made at the G2M level. SO2 reactions with O3 and H2O2 occurred by O-abstraction and OH-abstraction by SO2, respectively, at length forming SO3＋O2 （3Eg） and H2SO4. For SO2＋O3 reactions the barrier height was predicted to be 9.68 kcal/mol with a rate constant of 3.61 × 10^-23 cm^3/（molecule.s） at 300 K, which is below the experimental upper limit. The rate constant predicted for this reaction accords well with the one provided by National Institute for Standards and Technology （NIST） in 250-500 K. For SO2＋H2O2 reactions the barrier height was predicted to be 62.39 kcal/mol with a rate constant of 2.48× 10^-61 cm^3/（molecule.s） at 300 K.
