The samples after were annealed at 900°C by 20 h in air. The structural results showed the largely presence of a wurtzite solid solution of Cu<sup>2+</sup>+Eu<sup>3+</sup>doped ZnO, at high Cu<sup>2+</sup> doping CuO and Eu<sub>2</sub>CuO<sub>4</sub> phases are also present. Morphological properties were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. However it is important to remark that the Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions suppress the Eu<sup>3+</sup> ion photoluminescence (PL) by means of an overlap mechanism between Cu<sup>2+</sup> absorption band and Eu<sup>3+</sup>emission band (e.g. <sup>5</sup>D<sub>0</sub>→<sup>7</sup>F<sub>2</sub>) of the Eu<sup>3+</sup> emission spectra.展开更多

The ISE prepared exhibited a Nernstian response to the Eu3+ concentration in the test solutions in the presence of humic acid and fulvic acid. The effect of the solution conditions, including the pH, initial metal and humic substance concentrations, and ionic strength, on the formation constants was examined. The present formation constants were compared with the reported data using solvent extraction method.展开更多

The distribution ratios of U(VI) and Eu(III) as a function of aqueous HNO3 concentration , extractant concentration in organic phase and temperature as well as the salting-out agent con- centration have been measured. The experiment results show that picolinamide has higher extractability for U(VI) than for Eu(III). The composition of extracted species, equilibrium constants and enthalpies of extraction reaction have also been presented.展开更多

Within the experimental contact time range of 0.5–24 h, iso Hex-BTP/Si O2-P showed high selectivity for241Am(Ⅲ) compared to152Eu(Ⅲ) in3 mol/dm3 nitric acid solution. However, the adsorption kinetics of241Am(Ⅲ) and152Eu(Ⅲ) was slow. Eu(Ⅲ)adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating chemical adsorption as the rate-limiting step of the adsorption process. And the adsorption agreed well with the Langmuir adsorption model at various temperatures. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm data indicated that the equilibrium adsorption capacity, the adsorption rate, the maximum adsorption capacity and the adsorption affinity, increased with temperature. The thermodynamic parameters, negative change in Gibbs free energy, and positive change in enthalpy and entropy,suggested that the adsorption of Eu(Ⅲ) was spontaneous and endothermic process with an increase of entropy.展开更多

The parameters that were optimized include effect of mixing time, pH, loading and elution behaviours of chromium(III) for this resin. Sorption of chromium(III) on Amberlite IR 120 followed Freundlich isotherm and Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum sorption capacity was determined to be 142.86 mg Cr(III)/g of the resin. Higher Freundlich constant (Kf) values (6.30 and 13.46 for aqueous feed of 500 and 1000 ppm Cr(III)) indicated strong chemical interaction through ion exchange mechanism of the metal ion with the resin. The kinetic data showed good fit to the Lagergren first order model for extraction of chromium(III). Desorption of chromium(III) from the loaded resin increased with the increase in concentration of eluent (5-20% H2SO4). With 20% (v/v) sulphuric acid solution 94% chromium(III) was eluted in three stages. Elution of the Cr(III) in the column experiments was however, found to be lower (82%) than that of the shake flask data. In case of Indian tannery’s waste solution, it was observed that almost total chromium was extracted in four stages with Amberlite IR 120.展开更多

PEG-P could be obtained from a reaction among polyethylene glycol 300, phosphorus pentoxide, and pyrophosphoric acid. The PEG-P prepared was stable in an aqueous condition. A transparent solution and gel were obtained when the PEG-P was used as a source of P during the PC method, whereas the use of H3PO4 caused an undesirable precipitate. The LiCaPO4:Eu2+ obtained via the PC method employing the PEG-P showed higher emission intensity than those synthesized by a solid state reaction method and the PC method employing H3PO4. The high luminescence properties of the sample synthesized using the PEG-P may be attributed to high homogeneity of constituents in the sample.展开更多

文摘For a highly efficient recycling of a wastewater containing a high concentration of MgCl_(2),Al(Ⅲ)and P507 were scheduled to be removed in advance.In this study,the in-situ removal of Al(Ⅲ)and P507 from a high concentration MgCl_(2)solution at different pH values and Al/P molar ratios was investigated.The results showed that P507 formed organic complexes of Al_(x)(OH)_y^(Z+)-P507 at pH of 2.0-4.0.At pH of 4.0-5.0,Al(Ⅲ)precipitated and transferred into Al(OH)_(3)with a flocculent amorphous morphology.Active sites on the Al(OH)_(3)surface enhanced the removal efficiency of P507.At pH of 6.0-6.5,Al(Ⅲ)and Mg(Ⅱ)formed layered crystalline Al(OH)_(3)and MgAl_(2)(OH)_(8with)small pore channels and fewer active sites,resulting in a reduced removal efficiency of P507.When the Al/P molar ratio exceeded 13 and the pH was between 4.0 and 5.0,the removal rates of both Al(Ⅲ)and P507 were higher than98%,while the concentration loss of Mg(Ⅱ)was only 0.2%-0.9%.
