The crystalline phases characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） show that the sample glasses crystallizes into two phases, i.e. NATP and Ca9Al（PO4）7, while the Ca9Al（PO4）7 phase can be leached selectively with HCl, leaving a massive number of pores in the material. Through the experimental research, the effects of contact time, solution pH, and the initial concentration of Na＋on the cation exchange properties were investigated. The batch sorption kinetics and equilibria can be described by Pseudo-second-order kinetic equations and Langmuir isotherm equations respectively. Furthermore, the experiments with an industrial solution show that the removal rate of sodium from industrial （NH4）2WO4 is higher than 97%. Cycle experiment also shows that the NATP has a good cyclic performance.展开更多

Practically, the target application is mobile fuel cells based on hydrogen production from storage in chemical hydrides. The LNCT would be used as a one step purification method with less cost and space requirements instead of applying the conventional purification techniques. Two catalysts were investigated for the production of hydrogen from the aqueous solution of NaBH4 in a small scale packed bed reaction column. The hydrogen generated from the catalytic decomposition of NaBH4 was accompanied by limited quantity of water vapour and alkaline mist. Nonetheless, higher quantities were generated when applying the acidic decomposition of NaBH4 and consequently the utilization of LNCT for H2 purification has proved useful and lead to a reduction in the content of these impurities; thereby the concentration of hydrogen in the outlet stream has increased.展开更多

Results show that a denitrification rate reaching 1.32 g NO-3-N /（g Biomass·d） was obtained when pH was at 7.5,C/N at 1.7（atom ratio）, and temperature from 20 ℃ to 30 ℃. The results also show that denitrification rate with sodium citrate as carbon source approaches to that with methanol as carbon source.展开更多
