Spodumene and Ca ion were taken to illustrate this issue. Flotation test results and diagram of Ca ion species distribution vs pH show that the dominant hydrolyzed species are Ca(OH)?and Ca(OH)2, which is in correspondence with the maximum flotation recovery of spodumene. Density functional theory(DFT) calculation results reveal further that the precipitation of calcium hydroxide on spodumene surface is the effective process to activate the flotation of spodumene.展开更多

Precision measurement of the 4s2 S1/2-3d2 D5/2 clock transition based on 40Ca+ ion at 729 nm is reported.

A single 40Ca+ ion is trapped and laser-cooled in a ring Paul trap, and the storage time for the ion is more than one month. The linewidth of a 729 nm laser is reduced to about 1 Hz by locking to a super cavity for longer than one month uninterruptedly. The overall systematic uncertainty of the clock transition is evaluated to be better than 6.5 ×10^-16. The absolute frequency of the clock transition is measured at the 10^-15 level by using an optical frequency comb referenced to a hydrogen maser which is calibrated to the SI second through the global positioning system (GPS), The frequency value is 411 042 129 776 393.0(1.6) Hz with the correction of the systematic shifts. In order to carry out the comparison of two 40Ca+ optical frequency standards, another similar 40Ca+ optical frequency standard is constructed. Two optical frequency standards exhibit stabilities of 1 × 10^-14 T-1/2 with 3 days of averaging. Moreover, two additional precision measurements based on the single trapped 40Ca+ ion are carried out. One is the 3d2Ds/2 state lifetime measurement, and our result of 1174(10) ms agrees well with the results reported in [Phys. Rev. A 62 032503 (2000)] and [Phys. Rev. A 71 032504 (2005)]. The other one is magic wavelengths for the 4s2S1/2-3d2Ds/2 clock transition; λ |mj|=1/2= 395.7992(7) nm and λ|m|=3/2 = 395.7990(7) nm are reported, and it is the first time that two magic wavelengths for the 40Ca+ clock-transition have been reported.展开更多

The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describing the equilibrium isotherms, and isotherm constants were determined. The kinetics of the adsorption with respect to the initial Ca(II) ions concentration, temperature and pH was investigated. The pseudo-first-order and second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data and the rate constants were evaluated. The results show that the experimental data fit well to the Langmuir isotherms with a high correlation coefficient (R2). The pseudo-second-order rate expression provides the best fitting kinetic model. The pseudo second-order kinetic model is indicated with the activation energy of 26.22 kJ/mol and 6.16 kJ/mol for KCTS and HKCTS, respectively. It is suggested that the overall rate of adsorption of Ca( II ) ions is likely to be controlled by the chemical process.展开更多
