The structure of the film and its resistance to corrosion in a warm acidic environment were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD), polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and dipping corrosion tests, respectively. The results demonstrate that Ni?Cu?P coatings consist of two types of nodules, which are 19.98% Cu and 39.17% Cu (mass fraction) respectively. The corrosion resistance of the 316L substrate when subjected to a warm acidic solution is significantly improved by the addition of the new type of the Ni?Cu?P coating. The as-plated coatings demonstrate better corrosion resistance than annealed coatings. As-plated coatings and those annealed at 673 K are found to corrode selectively, while pitting is observed to be the main corrosion mechanism of coatings annealed at 773 and 873 K.展开更多

The objectives of this study are to establish a method for softening hyuganatsu peel without heating and a process for making a high pressure-induced (HP-) marmalade and to compare with heat-induced (H-) marmalade and citrus shaddock family marmalade. Firmness of peel was (greatest to least) pressurized at 500 MPa for 30 min, soaked in citric acid solution at pH 2.7 for 24 h, and boiled for 10 min, respectively. The cell walls of flavedo and albedo did not loosen after pressurization. However, after soaking or heating, the middle lamella of albedo separated. When flavedo was soaked at pH 2.7, 9.3% of pectin was extracted. The amount of naringin was the least in hyuganatsu 〈 pummelo 〈 grapefruit), and juice sacs 〈 flavedo 〈 segment walls 〈 albedo, respectively. Thus, marmalade was processed. Albedo, segment walls and juice sacs of hyuganatsu were homogenized with citric acid solution (pH 2.7) and mixed with sliced flavedo. Then it was soaked for 24 h at pH 2.7. Sucrose was then added (final sugar 50%), vacuum packed, then pressurized for 30 min at 500 MPa or boiled for 10 min, respectively. There was no significant difference in sensory evaluation between HP- and H-marmalade. However, the color, transparency and total evaluation of HP-marmalade were better than H-marmalade. Consequently, total evaluation of hyuganatsu-HP-marmalade was rated highly. So, hyuganatsu was considered to be more suitable for marmalade because it was more palatable than the others.展开更多

The results showed that KOH is more suitable than NaOH for the preparation of dissolved Fe(Ⅵ) at temperature over 50 ℃. It is found that the dissolved Fe(Ⅵ) prepared with KOH increases quickly at first, and then slowly with the increasing concentrations of OH-and ClO-, while it increases rapidly at first and then decreases rapidly with the increasing dosage of Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. These results are different from that prepared with NaOH. It can be explained that solid K2FeO4 salts can be formed in KOH solution, and it will lower the Fe(Ⅵ) concentration, counteract the decomposition of Fe(Ⅵ), and improve the yield of Fe(Ⅵ). The maximum ferrate concentration is 0.163 mol/L obtained by 100 g/L Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and 6.16 mol/L KOH at 65 ℃. The stability of Fe(VI) is greatly improved due to the hypochlorite existed in the dissolved ferrate, and only 24% Fe(Ⅵ) has been decomposed after 16 d for 1 mmol/L Fe(Ⅵ) at 25 ℃.展开更多

The microstructure and phases of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively. The corrosion resistance of MAO coatings was evaluated by electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization in 5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution. The results show that when KMnO4 is added into base electrolyte, the growth speed of oxide coatings is increased obviously. The main phase of oxide coatings is Al2O3, and the contents of MnO2 and MnEA104 phases are increased at the top of oxide coatings with increasing the concentration of KMnO4. The solute elements participate in forming the oxide coatings. When a proper concentration of KMnO4 (2.5 g/L) is added into the base solution, the micropores of the MAO coatings are small and compact, and the corrosion resistance of oxide coatings is increased largely.展开更多

The as-synthesized carbon dots had been systematically characterized by fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR), high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and ^(13)C NMR. Since the fluorescence of the carbon dots was efficiently quenched by folic acid, the carbon dots were employed as selective fluorescence probes for detecting folic acid, depending on the formation of hydrogen bond among the functional group of folic acid(–OH, –COOH and –NH_2) and –OH and –COOH of the carbon dots. Moreover, the decrease of fluorescence intensity was capable of detecting folic acid in a linear range of 6×10^(-5)–8×10^(-8) mol/L with a detection limit of 1.2×10^(-9)mol/L at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, suggesting a promising assay for folic acid. Significantly, the practicability of this fluorescence probe to assay folic acid in human urine samples was further evaluated.展开更多

Studies have shown that electrolyte balance, including effects of saline infusion on serum electrolytes, is often poorly understood among practicing physicians and inappropriate saline prescribing can cause increased morbidity and mortality. Large-volume (〉2 L) saline infusion in healthy adults induces hyperohloremia which is associated with metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and negative protein balance. Saline overload (80 ml/kg) in rodents can cause intestinal edema and contractile dysfunction associated with activation of sodium-proton exchanger (NHE) and decrease in myosin light chain phosphorylation. Saline infusion can also adversely affect renal hemody- namics. Microperfusion experiments and real-time imaging studies have demonstrated a reduction in renal perfusion and an expansion in kidney volume, compromising 02 delivery to the renal perenchyma following saline infusion. Clinically, saline infusion for patients post abdominal and cardiovascular surgery is associated with a greater number of adverse effects including more frequent blood product transfusion and bicarbonate therapy, reduced gastric blood flow, delayed recovery of gut function, impaired cardiac contractility in response to inotropes, prolonged hospital stay, and possibly increased mortality. In critically ill patients, saline infusion, compared to balanced fluid infusions, in- creases the occurrence of acute kidney injury. In summary, saline is a highly acidic fluid. With the exception of saline infusion for patients with hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis and volume depletion due to vomiting or upper gastroin- testinal suction, indiscriminate use, especially for acutely ill patients, may cause unnecessary complications and should be avoided. More education regarding saline-related effects and adequate electrolyte management is needed.展开更多

文摘In order to improve the yield and stability of ferrate in solution, dissolved Fe(Ⅵ) prepared with NaOH and KOH respectively was compared in this study. The results showed that KOH is more suitable than NaOH for the preparation of dissolved Fe(Ⅵ) at temperature over 50 ℃. It is found that the dissolved Fe(Ⅵ) prepared with KOH increases quickly at first, and then slowly with the increasing concentrations of OH-and ClO-, while it increases rapidly at first and then decreases rapidly with the increasing dosage of Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. These results are different from that prepared with NaOH. It can be explained that solid K2FeO4 salts can be formed in KOH solution, and it will lower the Fe(Ⅵ) concentration, counteract the decomposition of Fe(Ⅵ), and improve the yield of Fe(Ⅵ). The maximum ferrate concentration is 0.163 mol/L obtained by 100 g/L Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and 6.16 mol/L KOH at 65 ℃. The stability of Fe(VI) is greatly improved due to the hypochlorite existed in the dissolved ferrate, and only 24% Fe(Ⅵ) has been decomposed after 16 d for 1 mmol/L Fe(Ⅵ) at 25 ℃.
