Optimization of copper extraction for bioleaching of complex Cu-polymetallic concentrate by moderate thermophiles

Effects of initial pH, temperature, liquid volume, rotation speed, galvanic interaction （pyrite ratio） and pulp density on bioleaching of complex Cu-polymetallic concentrate were investigated. The results indicated that the copper extraction at pH 1.5 was 1.5 and 1.4 times that at pH 1.0 and pH 2.0 respectively. The copper extraction obtained at 45 ℃ was 1236.8%higher than that at 50 ℃. With the increase of rotation speed or the decrease of liquid volume, copper extraction was improved obviously. Copper extraction was improved gradually with the increase of pyrite ratio. However, when the ratio was higher than 20.0%, no further increase in copper extraction was observed. And the statistically significant interactive effects on copper extraction were found between temperature and pH, and temperature and pyrite ratio.

Ta-微晶CeO_2扩散壁垒材料

铝由于跟硅一起加工的相容性,现在被用作大规模集成电路的金属化材料,铜由于具有低的体电阻率和优良的电迁移阻抗,似乎更好一些。但由于铜易氧化,而且在200℃这样低的温度下即可扩散到硅中并形成铜的硅化物。为了避免大规模集成电路中硅元件的降解,要求在硅和铜之间有一个扩散壁垒。钽是一种重要的壁垒材料,它的熔点高。

The effect of the support on the surface composition of PtCu alloy nanocatalysts: In situ XPS and HS-LEIS studies

Supported PtCu alloys have been broadly applied in heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis owing to their excellent catalytic performance and high CO tolerance. It is important to analyze the outermost surface composition of the supported alloy nanoparticles to understand the nature of the catalytically active sites. In this paper, homogeneous face-centered cubic PtCu nanoparticles with a narrow particle size distribution were successfully fabricated and dispersed on a high-surface-area Ti〇2 powder support. The samples were oxidized and reduced in situ and then introduced into the ultrahigh vacuum chamber to measure the topmost surface composition by high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy, and to determine the oxidation states of the elements by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface composition and morphology, elemental distribu-tion, and oxidation states of the components were found to be significantly affected by the support and treatment conditions. The PtCu is de-alloyed upon oxidation with CuO wetting on the TiO2 sur-face and re-alloyed upon reduction. Phase diagrams of the surface composition and the bulk com-position were plotted and compared for the supported and unsupported materials.

Flower-like 3D CuO microsphere acting as photocatalytic water oxidation catalyst

Flower-like 3D CuO microspheres were synthesized and used to photo-catalyze water oxidation under visible light.The structure of the CuO microspheres was characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,infrared,powder X-ray diffraction,electron dispersive spectroscopy,Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）.This is the first time that a copper oxide was demonstrated as a photocatalytic water oxidation catalyst under near neutral conditions.The catalytic activity of CuO microspheres in borate buffer shows the best performance with O2 yield of 11.5%.No change in the surface properties of CuO before and after the photocatalytic reaction was seen by XPS,which showed good catalyst stability.A photocatalytic water oxidation reaction mechanism catalyzed by the CuO microspheres was proposed.

Supported Cobalt Molybdenum Bimetallic Nitrides for Ammonia Decomposition

Co and Mo bimetallic nitrides supported on Mg（Al）O, MgO and γ-Al2O3 were prepared in temperatureprogrammed reactions with NH3. The surface morphology, chemical composition and catalytic activity for NH3 decomposition on the supported Co and Mo bimetallic nitrides were studied by X-ray diffractometer （XRD）, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption and mass spectrometer （NH3-TPD-MS）, temperature-programmed desorption and mass spectrometer （TPD-MS）, H2 temperature-programmed surface reaction （H2-TPSR） and activity test. The phases of Co3Mo3N and MoN could be formed on Mg（Al）O, MgO and Al2O3 during the nitridation, and they might be more uniformly dispersed on Mg（Al）O and MgO than on γ-Al2O3. Transition metallic nitrides are generally considered as potential catalysts for hydrogen-involving reactions due to the entrance of hydrogen atoms into subsurface and the lattice of metallic nitrides. The diffusion of nitrogen in the bulk and the structure transformation of Co and Mo nitride compounds occur during NH3-TPD, but the supported Co and Mo bimetallic nitrides are not easily reduced at H2 atmosphere. Co3Mo3N/Mg（Al）O catalyst exhibits the highest activity, while Co3Mo3N/Al2O3 exhibits the lowest activity for NH3 decomposition. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Co and Mo bimetallic nitrides is not only much higher than that of supported single metallic nitride, but also highly dependent upon the surface acidity and BET surface area of support.

Integration of ultrafine CuO nanoparticles with two‐dimensional MOFs for enhanced electrochemicgal CO_(2) reduction to ethylene

To facilitate the electrochemical CO_(2) reduction(ECR)to fuels and valuable chemicals,the development of active,low cost,and selective catalysts is crucial.We report a novel ECR catalyst consisting of CuO nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1.4 to 3.3 nm anchored on Cu metal‐organic framework(Cu‐MOF)nanosheets obtained through a one‐step facile solvothermal method.The nanocomposites provide multiple sites for efficient ambient ECR,delivering an average C_(2)H_(4) faradaic efficiency(FE)of~50.0%at–1.1 V(referred to the reversible hydrogen electrode)in 0.1 mol/L aqueous KHCO_(3) using a two‐compartment cell,in stark contrast to a C_(2)H_(4) FE of 25.5%and 37.6%over individual CuO and Cu‐MOF respectively,also surpassing most newly reported Cu‐based materials under similar cathodic voltages.The C_(2)H_(4) FE remains at over 45.0%even after 10.0 h of successive polarization.Also,a~7.0 mA cm^(–2) C_(2)H_(4) partial geometric current density and 27.7%half‐cell C_(2)H_(4) power conversion efficiency are achieved.The good electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to the interface between CuO and Cu‐MOF,with accessible metallic moieties and the unique two‐dimensional structure of the Cu‐MOF enhancing the adsorption and activation of CO_(2) molecules.This finding offers a simple avenue to upgrading CO_(2) to value‐added hydrocarbons by rational design of MOF‐based composites.

Friction stir welding of aluminum to copper—An overview

Components made by joining different materials are required in various engineering applications.Fabrication of suchcomponents is a challenging task due to the vast difference in mechanical,thermal and electrical properties of the materials beingused.Friction stir welding(FSW)is capable of joining dissimilar materials such as aluminum(Al)and copper(Cu)and thereforeresearchers have used this novel process for dissimilar joining.Consequently,several works pertaining to dissimilar joining,specifically Al?Cu,are available in the literature but they are scattered in different sources,which makes the task of gatheringinformation about dissimilar FSW of Al?Cu cumbersome.This work has been written with an aim to provide all pertinentinformation related to dissimilar FSW of Al?Cu at one place to ease the problems of researchers.It comprehensively covers andsummarizes the topics such as the effect of tool design and geometry,FSW process parameters,FSW strategies on mechanicalproperties,microstructure and formation of defects during dissimilar FSW of Al?Cu.In addition,it also presents and discussesseveral variants of dissimilar FSW of Al?Cu.Finally,this work not only puts forth major findings of the previous researchers but alsosuggests future recommendations for dissimilar FSW of Al?Cu.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Al-6.5Cu-0.6Mn-0.5Fe alloys with different Si additions

The effect of Si content on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the heat-treated Al-6.5 Cu-0.6 Mn-0.5 Fe alloy was investigated using image analysis,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and tensile testing.The results show that the mechanical properties of Al-6.5 Cu-0.6 Mn-0.5 Fe alloys decrease slightly when the Si content is below 1.0%.This can be attributed to the comprehensive effect of microstructure evolution,including the increase of nano-sized α-Fe,the coarsened grain size,and an increase in Al2 Cu content at the grain boundary.When the Si content is 1.5%,the mechanical properties of the Al-6.5 Cu-0.6 Mn-0.5 Fe alloys decrease significantly,and this can be attributed to the agglomerated second intermetallics,which is resulted from the formation of excess Si particles.

Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to ethylene on copper–antimony bimetallic alloy catalyst

The exploration of efficient electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 to C2H4 is of significant importance but is also a challenging subject.Cu-based bimetallic catalysts are extremely promising for efficient CO2 reduction.In this work,we synthesize a series of porous bimetallic Cu–Sb alloys with different compositions for the catalytic reduction of CO2 to C2H4.It is demonstrated that the alloy catalysts are much more efficient than the pure Cu catalyst.The performance of the alloy catalysts depended strongly on the composition.Further,the alloy with a Cu:Sb ratio of 10:1 yielded the best results;it exhibited a high C2H4 Faradaic efficiency of 49.7%and a high current density of 28.5 mA cm?2 at?1.19 V vs.a reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)in 0.1 M KCl solution.To the best of our knowledge,the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C2H4 using Cu–Sb alloys as catalysts has not been reported.The excellent performance of the porous alloy catalyst is attributed to its favorable electronic configuration,large surface area,high CO2 adsorption rate,and fast charge transfer rate.

Selenium(Ⅵ) removal from caustic solution by synthetic Ca-Al-Cl layered double hydroxides

To extract selenium(Ⅵ)from the highly caustic leachate of copper anode slime,the Ca-Al-Cl layered double hydroxides(Ca-Al-Cl-LDHs)with a formula of Ca2 Al(OH)6 Cl·2 H2 O by three co-precipitation methods were synthesized.A plate-like morphology and hexagonal crystal structure with typical mineral phases and functional groups were identified by the FESEM,XRD,FTIR,BET and XPS analysis.The forward feeding sample exhibits the best adsorption capacity of Se(Ⅵ).The factor experiments then reveal a favorable adsorption process with low temperature,low NaOH concentration and high adsorbent dosage.Furthermore,the adsorption kinetics and isotherm parameters can be well described by the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order models,respectively.Accordingly,the maximum adsorption amount of Se(Ⅵ)onto Ca-Al-Cl-LDHs reaches188.6 mg/g at 50 ℃.

Preparation of copper nano-wires by template synthesis method

Highly ordered and porous anodic aluminum oxide templates were prepared. The ordered copper nanowires arrays were assembled in nano-holes of the template by alternating current electrodeposition at lover voltage. The morphologies of template and copper nano-wires arrays were characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and the crystal structure of copper nano-wires was determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that copper nano-wires hold the preferred crystalline orientation along (111), (200), (220) and (331) crystal faces during growth, and the growth of copper nano-wires in the nano-holes of the template is homogenous and continuous.

Interfacial characteristics of high frequency induction brazed Cu and pre-metalized graphite joints

Oxygen-free copper and pre-metalized graphite were brazed using CuNiSnP braze alloy by high frequency induction heating method. Interracial microstructures and reaction phases were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. The strength and resistance of the joints were tested. It is found that when the brazing parameters are optimized, the structures of the joints are graphite/（Cu,Ni）/Ni（s.s）＋NixPy/Cu3P＋Cu（s.s） （including Sn）＋eutectic structures （Cu3P＋Ni3P＋Cu（s.s）/Cu （s.s）/Cu）. When the temperature increases to 750℃ or the holding time prolongs to 300 s, the eutectie structures disappear and the amount of Cu3P increases. The maximum shear strength of the joints is 5.2 MPa, which fracture at the interface of graphite and metallization. The resistance of the joints is no more than 5 mΩ.

Effect of adding Ce on interfacial reactions between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder and Cu substrate

The formation and the growth of Cu-Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the interface between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xCe solder and Cu substrate during soldering and aging were studied. The results show that Cu6Sn5 IMC is observed at the interface between solder and Cu substrate in all conditions. After aging for 120 h,the Cu3Sn IMC is then obtained. With increasing aging time,the scalloped Cu6Sn5 structure changes to a plate structure. The Cu3Sn film always forms with a relatively planar interface. By adding a small amount of the rare earth element Ce (only 0.1%,mass fraction) into the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy,the growth rate of the Cu-Sn IMC at the interface of solder alloy system is decreased. When the time exponent is approximately 0.5,the growth of the IMC layer is mainly controlled by a diffusion over the studied time range.

The synthesis of tetracyclic coumarins via decarboxylative asymmetric[4+2]cycloadditions enabled by Pd(0)/Cu(I)synergistic catalysis

Tetracyclic coumarins are a class of important compounds with diverse and superior pharmacolog‐ical activities.However,a direct stereoselective method from simple and readily‐made coumarins derivatives remains challenging due to the inertness of coumarins as dienophiles.Herein,we de‐velop a decarboxylative asymmetric[4+2]cycloaddition of 3‐cyanocoumarins with vinyl benzoxa‐zinones,affording the coumarin‐derived condensed rings bearing three continuous stereocenters in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities(>20/1 d.r.)and enantioselectivities(up to 99%ee).This direct enantioselective reaction was achieved by a Pd(0)/Cu(I)bimetallic catalytic system.The mechanism studies indicated that the synergistic activation effect,in which chiral Cu(I)as an availa‐ble Lewis acid catalyst activates 3‐cyanocoumarin and chiral Pd(0)complex activates benzoxazi‐none by the formation ofπ‐allyl‐palladium intermediate,plays an important role on the stereoselec‐tive control.The current work provides a new activation modes of Cu catalyst in the Pd/Cu bimetal‐lic catalytic system.
