It was based on the catalytic effect of gold on the oxidation of sudan red III by ammonium peroxodisulfate ((NH4)2S2O8) with nitrilo triacetic acid as an activator in microemulsion and H2SO4 medium. Under optimum conditions, there was the linearity of the calibration curve in the concentration range from 0 to 20 μg/L Au(Ⅲ) at 520 nm. The relative standard deviation was 3.0% with a correlation coefficient of 0.9986. The detection limit achieved was 9.75 × 10^-5 μg/mL. A new method using a column packed with sulfhydryl dextrose gel (SDG) as a solid-phase extractant has been developed for the preconcentration and separation of Au(Ⅲ) ions. The method has been applied to the determination of trace gold with satisfactory results.展开更多

The nonlinear transient model of the metals thermal conductivity for powder-to-solid transition was developed. The model uses solid thermal properties of material in liquid-phase zone, transitional ones in sintering or sintered zone and powder ones in unsintered zones of powder bed to predict, respectively. Sintering zone boundary was estimated by maximum temperature history profile. Experiments were carried out using multi-component Cu-based metal powder. Compared experimental and predicted results, the mean error of sintering depth and width are 7.8% and 14.4%, respectively, which confirms the accuracy of the FEM prediction.展开更多

The effects of manufacture parameters on dielectric loss tangent and permittivity constant were investigated, which include powder-mixed method, milling time of high-energy ball milling, starting powder particle size, sintering temperature and holding time and adding amount of the conductive second phase. The results showed that A1N-W materials sintered at the temperature of 1700℃ holding for 5 min with 10 vol.% W showed the best dielectric loss tangent larger than 0.81 at the frequency 1 kHz-1 MHz. In addition, magnetic stirring mixed powder and lower sintering temperature led to the better propelties because of the higher porosity. The samples sintered from the starting AlN powder with smaller particle size also had the better properties.展开更多

Formation of agglomerates and the effect of their rearrangement on densification are mainly focused on. Comparing to the existing experimental observations, we find that agglomerate can form spontaneously in sintering and its rearrangement could accelerate the densification of compacts. Snapshots of numerical simulations agree qualitatively well with experimental observations. The method could be readily extended to investigate the effect of agglomerate on sintering in a three- dimensional model, which should be very useful for understanding the evolution of microstructure of sintering systems.展开更多

The effects of sintering process on the structure and electrochemical properties of LiMn2O4 were discussed. It was found that a single sintering could not synthesize a pure LiMn2O4 compound, while two-step sintering procedure consisting of decomposing sprayed precursors at 350℃ and further sintering at an elevated temperature leads to the formation of a single-phased LiMn2O4 with homogeneous particle size distribution. As compared to that sintered in air, the two-step sintered LiMn2O4 in oxygen shows tighter structure and more uniform particle size, as well as better electrochemical properties. It delivers an initial discharge capacity of 131 mAh·g^-1 (1/10C), and still has excellent cycling stability at higher rate (1/5C).展开更多

Chitosan with a deacetylation degree (DD) of 76.1% was obtained at a mass ratio 0.2∶1∶1 for H_ 2 O/chitin/NaOH at 160 ℃ for 12 min. Compared to conventional solution method(usually 1∶10 for chitin/NaOH), the alkali assumption greatly decreased. Molecular weight of chitosan obtained by solid-phase method(S3,M_w1.54×10 5 ) was lower than that obtained by suspension method(Y2,M_w3.34×10 5 ). During deacetylation, molecular weight decreased with high reaction temperature and long reaction time but remained same at different initial ratios of NaOH/chitin. It might be concluded that degradation of chitosan was caused by breakout of the main chain of the oxidized chitosan catalyzed by alkali during the deactylation. IR and 13 C NMR showed that structures of chitosans prepared by solid-phase method were not changed.展开更多

Even if the powder material is composed of plastic metal, the fracture still does not show macroscopic plastic deformation characteristics if the material contains a large number of voids. Eight node isoparametric elastic plastic finite element method was used to simulate the tensile process of sintered powder material. By setting a number of voids in the analyzed metal cuboid, the initial density was taken into consideration. The material properties of the three dimensional solid for the tensile simulation were defined with reference to the known pure iron material parameters. The load displacement curves during elongation were obtained with a universal testing machine, and then the simulated curves were compared with the experimental results. The factors that cause the stress concentration and strength decrease were analyzed according to the simulated equivalent von Mises stress distribution.展开更多
