The effect of pH, TOPO concentration, medium, stirring time and the amount of sails added on the distribution of lanthanides between two phases were investigated. Two different compositions Ln(H2O)(t-2) (TOPO)(2)(OH)(2)NO3 (Ln=Nd and Sm) and Ln(H2O)(s-1) (TOPO)(2)(OH)(NO3)(2) (Ln=Tb and Yb) were determined by slope analysis method. The equilibrium extraction constant K-ex and pH(1/2) value were calculated and the thermodynamic parameters were obtained from the dependence of K-ex on the temperature.展开更多

In addition, the optimum condition for this method was determined by a series of condition experiments. What was more, the K-feldspar ore and the leach residue after reaction based on the above optimum condition were analyzed by XRD, SEM and EDS,separately. The results of which indicated that the mechanism of extraction of potassium for this method was according to the ion exchange reaction between sodium ion and potassium ion, and the extraction ratio of potassium had an obvious improvement than that of traditional methods, which could reach up to 96.25%.Therefore, this method can be a feasible solution to extract potassium from K-feldspar ore for its low energy consumption and high efficiency.展开更多

A green complexof platinum with PAN is formed at 90℃. In the range of pH 2.5-6.5, the complex is quantitativelyextracted into molten naphthalene. The organic phase is anhydrously dissolved in CHCl_3 to hedetermined spectrophotometrically at 690 nm against the reagent blank. Beer's law is obeyed over theconcentration range of 0.5-5.0 μg/μL. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are 1.6 x10^5 L·mol^(-1)·cm^(-1) and 0.0048 mg·cm^(-2), respectively. The optimum conditions fordetermination are obtained. The interferences of various ions are observed in detail. The method hasbeen applied to the determination of platinum in synthetic samples.展开更多

In this paper, the type 304 austenitic stainless steel is welded by a 5 kW high-power fiber laser and a high-speed camera is employed to capture the topside images of weld pools. Then we propose a robust visual-detection approach for the molten pool based on the supervised descent method. It provides an elegant framework for representing the outline of a weld pool and is especially efficient for weld pool detection in the presence of strong uncertainties and disturbances. Finally, welding experimental results verified that the proposed approach can extract the weld pool boundary accurately, which will lay a solid foundation for controlling the weld quality of fiber laser welding process.展开更多

The ternary complex Cu(I)-DMP-ClO4 was extracted quantitatively into molten naphthalene in the range of pH from 5 to 6 at 85 C-. Absorbance was spectrophotometrically determined at 459 nm against the reagent blank after the solid naphthalene layer was anhydrously dissolved in chloroform. Beer's law is obeyed over a concentration range of 0.5-70 mug/mL. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are 1.0x10(4) L/(mol(.)cm) and 0.0099 mug(.)cm(2) respectively. In addition, the various conditions on determination and the interference of coexisted ions were discussed, and the method was applied to the determination of copper ion both in tea samples and cadmium sulfate reagents. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by ICP AES method.展开更多
