It is found that the substitution of Cr is affected by Cr and Al contents and limits of occupation probabilities of Cr atom in L12 phase are present. The precipitate is single L12 phase when the component is less than the limit, Cr atoms substitute the Al sublattices in Ll2 phase, and both of atoms Al and Cr occupy the β-sites and complex phases Ni3(Al1-xCrx) are formed; Cr atoms enter Ni sites when Al and Cr contents exceed the limit, and substitute β-sites or both of α- and β-sites. The DO22 phase is formed at the boundary of Ll2 phase.展开更多

The photocatalytic reduction was carried out in batch reactor, in which the influences of the presence ofmalonic and oxalic acids as well as of iron and lead ions on the degree of the reduction have been systematically evaluated. The results of the research indicated that the presence of malonic and oxalic acids with increasing concentration can improve the photoreduction. The increase in the Cr(V1) photoreduction is due to OH radical capturing by the organic acids so that it prevents the recombination of the OH radical and the free electron, and therefore can provide enough electron supply for Cr(VI) photoreduction. The effectiveness of Cr(VI) photoreduction is also enhanced by the addition of increasing concentration of both Fe(Ⅲ) and Pb(Ⅱ) ions through synergic effect. It is also found that the degree of the photopreduction is strongly influenced by solution acidity and the most effective Cr(VI) photoreduction is obtained at lower pH than 5, either in the absence or presence of the organic acids and the heavy metal ions.展开更多

The obtained results show that the thermodynamic stability of Crdoped Fe_3C becomes weaker in terms of the larger formation enthalpy, on the contrary, the metallicity and covalency are found to strengthen to some extent. The magnetic moments of Fe_3C, Fe_(11)CrC_4(g), and Fe_(11)CrC_4(s) are respectively 21.36 μB/cell, 16.92 μB/cell, and 17.62 μB/cell, and in Fe_(11)CrC4(g) and Fe_(11)CrC_4(s), the Fe of Wyckoff positions of 8d and 4c is substituted by Cr. The local magnetic moment of Cr at 8d site is larger than that at 4c site in the doped structure, which is opposite to that of Fe. In low frequency band, the permittivity follows the ranking of Fe_(11)Cr C_4(s)>Cr_3C>Fe_(11)Cr C_4(g)>Fe_3C. Once exceeding a certain frequency, the sequence will be broken. Besides the electron transition, the polarization of atoms also makes a contribution to the dielectric properties.展开更多

Adsorption experiment from aqueous solutions containing known amount of Cr(Ⅵ) using zeolite, chitosan and ZCHC was explored to evaluate the efficiency of ZCHC as adsorbent for Cr in a batch system. The amount of Cr(Ⅵ) adsorbed at different pH values, initial concentrations, adsorbent dosages, and contact times were determined by ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry) in order to determine the optimum conditions for Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism of Cr(Ⅵ) by zeolite, chitosan and ZCHC was investigated by applying Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations to the data obtained. In addition, the rates of adsorption were found to conform to pseudo-second order kinetics.展开更多
