Effects of Ni addition on liquid phase separation and giant magnetoresistance of Cu-Co alloys

The effects of Ni addition on the liquid phase separation and giant magnetoresi stance (GMR) of Cu Co alloys were discussed. The results reveal that Ni additio n can partially restrain the liquid phase separation of Cu Co alloys, resultin g in a decrease of volume fraction for the Co rich particles separated from the liquid phase and in refined microstructures. The composition analyses indicate t hat Ni is dissolved in both the Co rich and the Cu rich phases, but Ni content in the Co rich phase is much higher than that in the Cu matrix. At the same ti me, Ni addition enhance the solubility between Cu and Co, especially Cu in Co s olid solution. Ni alloying into Cu Co alloys can fully prevent the liquid phase separation during melt spinning, which is very beneficial to improve GMR of Cu Co alloys.

Kinetics and mechanisms of solvent extraction and separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) with DEHPA in petrofin

The kinetics of extractive separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) from nitrate medium in the presence of lactic acid (HLac) using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (DEHPA) diluted in petrofin was investigated using a cell with constant interfacial area and continuous stirring. The effects of stirring speed, interfacial area, pH, HLac concentration, extractant concentration, concentrations of metal ions and temperature on the extraction rate were examined. Results suggested that the extraction regime is diffusion-controlled. The reaction which occurred at the interface was found to be the rate-determining step. The extraction rates of both metal ions are found to be independent of pH. The extraction rates of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) are first-order dependent with respect to lactic acid and metal ions (La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ)) concentrations. The extraction rate of La(Ⅲ) is first-order dependent on DEHPA concentration and for Ni(Ⅱ), it varies to the power of 1.5. The separation of La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) from nitrate solution is possible at low interfacial area and low stirring speed.

Synthesis of Ni^2+cation modified TS-1 molecular sieve nanosheets as effective photocatalysts for alcohol oxidation and pollutant degradation

lmprovement of the charge separation of titanosilicate molecular sieves is critical to their use asphotocatalysts for oxidative organic transformations.In this work,MFI TS-1 molecular sievenanosheets(TS-1 NS)were synthesized by a low-temperature hydrothermal method using a tai-lored diquaternary ammonium surfactant as the structure-directing agent.Introducing Ni^2+cationsat the ion-exchange sites of the TS-1 NS framework significantly enhanced its photoactivity in aero-bic alcohol oxidation.The optimized Ni cation-functionalized TS-1 NS(Ni/TS-1 NS)provide impres-sive photoactivity,with a benzyl alcohol(BA)conversion of 78.9%and benzyl aldehyde(BAD)se-lectivity of 98.8%using O as the only oxidant under full light irradiation;this BAD yield is approx-imately six times greater than that obtained for bulk TS-1,and is maintained for five runs.The ex-cellent photoactivity of Ni/TS-1 NS is attributed to the significantly enlarged surface area of thetwo-dimensional morphology TS-1 NS,extra mesopores,and greatly improved charge separation.Compared with bulk TS-1,Ni/TS-1 NS has a much shorter charge transfer distance.Theas-introduced Ni species could capture the photoelectrons to further improve the charge separa-tion.This work opens the way to a class of highly selective,robust,and low-cost titanosilicate mo-lecular sieve-based photocatalysts with industrial potential for selective oxidative transformationsand pollutant degradation.

Separation of cadmium and nickel from waste Ni-Cd batteries

To separate the cadmium and nickel resources in waste Ni-Cd batteries, aself-designed vacuum distillation recycling system was studied under laboratory conditions. Theeffects of system temperature, operating pressure, and time on the separation of Ni and Cd werestudied respectively. The mechanism of vacuum thermal recycling was also discussed. Results showthat vacuum distillation is a very effective separation method for waste Ni-Cd batteries. At aconstant pressure, the increase of temperature can improve the separating efficiency of Cd. When thetemperature is 1 173 K, cadmium can evaporate completely from the samples during 3 h at 10 Pa. Thereduction of pressure in a certain range is effective to the separating of Cd from Ni-Cd batteriesby vacuum distillation.

First-principles calculation of phase equilibria and phase separation of the Fe-Ni alloy system

Theoretical investigation of the phase equilibria of the Fe-Ni alloy has been performed by combining the FLAPW total energy calculations and the Cluster Variation Method through the Cluster Expansion Method. The calculations have proved the stabilization of the LIE phase at 1：3 stoichiometry, which is in agreement with the experimental result, and predicted the existence of L1 0 as a stable phase below 550 K; this L1 0 phase has been missing in the conventional phase diagram. The calculations are extended to the Fe-rich region that is characterized by a wide range phase separation and has drawn considerable attention because of the intriguing Invar property associated with a Fe concentration of 65%. To reveal the origin of the phase separation, a P-V curve in an entire concentration range is derived by the second derivative of free energy functional of the disordered phase with respect to the volume. The calculation confirmed that the phase separation is caused by the breakdown of the mechanical-stability criterion. The newly calculated phase separation line combined with the L1 0 and L12Eorder-disordered phase boundaries provides phase equilibria in the wider concentration range of the system. Furthermore, a coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） is attempted by incorporating the thermal vibration effect through harmonic approximation of the Debye-Gruneisen model. The Invar behavior has been reproduced, and the origin of this anomalous volume change has been discussed.

Degradation analysis of nickel/metal hydride battery and its electrodes materials

The results indicate that during charge and discharge, the expansion of Ni（OH）2 crystal, pulverization of MH alloy particles and falling off from current collector are identified as the main causes for deterioration of Ni/MH batteries. Meanwhile, the contact resistance of inner battery increases due to the deterioration of the negative and positive electrode, and these changes lead to increasing battery body temperature and damaging its electrode and separator. The fibre’s expansion and hole’s diminishment of battery’s separator after degradation will affect the electrochemical performance and cycle life of Ni/MH batteries.

Thermodynamical and catalytic aspects of zinc separation from aqueous solution

The present research work examines extraction mechanism of zinc by D2 EHPA(Di-2-ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid) and comprehensively studies the main effective parameters on the process. Results of thermodynamic experiments showed that zinc extraction by D2 EHPA was endothermic and spontaneous, and thermodynamic parameters including entropy and enthalpy were + 27.37 J·mol^(-1)·K^(-1) and 25.21 kJ·mol^(-1), respectively.Gibbs free energy was varied between-7.21 kJ·mol^(-1) and-8.41 kJ·mol^(-1) with the variation of temperature from 20 °C to 70 °C. Solution ionic strength was increased by addition of potassium and lithium sulfate solution while addition of calcium sulfate decreased ionic strength whereby zinc extraction efficiency was also decreased.TBP showed positive synergism at concentration of 5%(v/v) and negative synergism effect at concentrations of2% and 10%. Simultaneous addition of both TBP and salt caused extraction efficiency to drop significantly and lower both TBP and ionic strength efficiency. Results showed that a continuous addition of TBP tends to effectively improve the zinc extraction efficiency. Experiments in the presence of catalyst Ni-Raney demonstrated that zinc extraction kinetic increases remarkably and due to easy recycling of the catalyst, we can propose a novel idea in solvent extraction field.

Preparation of Ti-Ni Porous Alloys and Its Hydrogen Isotope Effects

Ti-Ni porous alloy was made from titanium and nickel powder mixture in equiatomic composition by combustion synthesis technique (self-propagation high temperature synthesis). The result analyzed by SEM and XRD shows that the alloy possesses high porosity (50%～70%), and mainly consists of TiNi phase as well as rare Ti_2Ni and TiNi_3 transition phase. Then it was activated, cracked and used as sorbent for hydrogen isotope separation. Through experiment investigation, it was discovered that the alloy is able to absorb hydrogen in very large quantities in the lattice thereof, but deuterium only very slightly or not at all, at temperatures up to 623 K, especially at temperatures from about 323 to 423 K. According to this characteristic, the Ti-Ni porous alloys may replace noble metal palladium(Pd) as used for hydrogen isotope separation and purification. Study illustrated that the technology would have a promising engineering application, such as being used for reprocessing Tokamak exhaust gases and producing high purity deuterium.

Liquid-liquid phase separation in highly undercooled Ni-Pb hypermonotectic alloys

Liquid-liquid phase separation in the undercooled Ni-20%Pb(mole fraction, the same below if not mentioned) hypermonotectic melts was investigated by the observation of the water-quenched structure and DTA analysis. The results indicate that the number of spherical cells in the water-quenched microstructure increases with dropping temperature, and the cells gather and grow up obviously. The spherical cell origins from L1 phase separated from homogeneous melt, and is the product of monotectic reaction. Both results of the water-quenched structures and DTA analysis prove that liquid phase separation still occurs in the highly undercooled Ni-Pb hypermonotectic alloy melts, and liquid phase separation in the immiscible gap can not be fully inhibited by high undercooling and rapid solidification.

利用褐铁矿型红土镍矿烧结矿制备Fe-Cr-Ni合金

我国是不锈钢第一生产大国,但作为冶炼不锈钢主要原料的镍矿及铬铁矿资源贫乏,占红土镍矿资源总量60%以上的褐铁矿型红土镍矿与低品位铬铁矿愈发受到关注。同时,不锈钢冶炼通常需先分别生产铬铁和镍铁,工艺流程长,生产成本高。因此,本文基于烧结—高炉工艺,利用褐铁矿型红土镍矿烧结矿低成本地一步制备出了Fe-Cr-Ni合金。通过热力学分析及熔炼参数的优化,重点研究了不同Cr_(2)O_(3)含量的含镍烧结矿(S1:4.84 wt%;S3:7.72 wt%)的熔炼特性。在熔炼时间60 min(S1)/90 min (S3)、熔炼温度1600℃、焦粉用量20 wt%、炉渣碱度1.0的最佳条件下,成功制备出了铬品位5.6 wt%~9.3 wt%、镍品位1.55 wt%~1.70 wt%、铁品位84 wt%~88 wt%的Fe-Cr-Ni合金,其铬、镍和铁的回收率分别在90%、98%和96%以上。研究表明,含镍烧结矿Cr_(2)O_(3)含量的提高会造成熔炼时间的延长,这不利于焦比的降低与不锈钢产量的提高。在后续研究中,将开发出由含镍烧结矿与含铬球团矿构成的综合炉料结构,以更有效地实现高铬镍铁的冶炼。

吉林红旗岭镁铁超镁铁质侵入岩群位于中亚造山带东段南缘,由3个北西向岩带(I、II、III)组成,包括30多个小岩株,其中I-岩带的部分岩体伴有铜镍矿化,并且其1和7号岩体分别形成了中型和大型岩浆铜镍硫化物型矿床。矿床主要容矿岩石为辉橄岩、橄辉岩、斜方辉石岩、二辉石岩、苏长岩和辉长岩。主量元素方面,红旗岭岩群具有富镁(w(MgO)=20.7%~31.1%)、低钛(w(TiO_(2))=0.33%~0.79%)、低碱(w(K 2 O+Na 2 O)=0.60%~2.29%)和硅(w(SiO_(2))=40.0%~53.0%)变化范围大的特征;微量元素方面,红旗岭岩群呈现弱富集LREE和LILE(Th)以及亏损HREE和HFSE(Nb-Ta-Ti)。岩相学、地球化学和矿物(橄榄石、斜方辉石、单斜辉石、尖晶石、斜长石和角闪石)主微量元素特征表明,红旗岭岩群明显不同于洋岛型玄武岩、阿拉斯加型环状杂岩和科马提岩,但与岛弧玄武岩以及中亚造山带西段的“黄山西”和“黄山东”铜镍硫化物矿床的容矿超镁铁质岩相似,其母岩浆是一种富Mg、亏损Nb-Ta的岛弧拉斑玄武质熔体,形成于晚三叠世古亚洲洋闭合后伸展环境,演化过程中经历了地壳混染和分离结晶作用,含矿母岩浆可能经历了硫化物的“二次熔离”,最终形成了铂族元素(PGE)亏损型岩浆铜镍硫化物矿床。

“太乙神针”在岭南的传播与改良

太乙神针是指将药物加艾绒配制成的艾条点燃后隔符纸按压熨于穴位的方法,是一种在临床具有显著疗效的灸疗方法。太乙神针法最初由清代的范毓?在广东做官之际传入岭南,此后得以广泛传播。在岭南地区流行的由清代顺德周桂山所辑的《经验良方》著作中,记载有一种独特的隔姜灸“太乙神针”法,其出现时间早于1856年叶圭所创的隔姜罩碗的“太乙神针灸法”。对比清代19种有关“太乙神针”著作,发现这种独特的隔姜灸“太乙神针”法仅记载于几种岭南医书中,其太乙神针药方(组成药物为麝香、川乌、草乌、生南星、生半夏、雄黄、雌黄、丁香、细辛、威灵仙、蜈蚣、硫黄,共12味)中不加艾绒,而是将药物制备成药块进行隔姜灸。该文对岭南隔姜灸“太乙神针”法的来源与特点进行考述,以期为临床灸法的拓展提供思路。

A dual-regulation strategy of B/N codoped CNT-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles as a catalytic host and separator coating promises high-performance Li-S batteries

A dual-regulation strategy of adopting B/N codoped carbon nanotube-encapsulated nickel nanoparticles(Ni@BNCNT) as a sulfur host and separator coating is proposed for high-performance Li-S batteries. On the cathode side, the 3D conductive network structure of Ni@BNCNT is favorable for high sulfur utilization, and the collaboration between polar metal Ni nanoparticles(NPs) and doped B/N elements facilitates the chemical adsorption of Li polysulfides(Li PSs). In addition, these metal Ni NPs exhibit a satisfactory catalytic effect on the polysulfide conversion. Moreover, using the Ni@BNCNT interlayer can further capture the soluble Li PSs, make them convert quickly, and prevent them from diffusing toward the anode side. The Li-S batteries simultaneously equipped with a S/Ni@BNCNT cathode and Ni@BNCNT interlayer show high reversible capacity and good cycle stability. Additionally, even at a sulfur loading of 3.5 mg cm;and an electrolyte/sulfur ratio of 3 μL mg;, excellent battery performance can be achieved. We believe that this work offers a new strategy based on combining a catalytic host and separator coating to construct high-efficiency Li-S batteries.
