The extruded AZ80 alloy is compressed along the transverse direction to introduce {10-12} twins,followed by an aging treatment at 300 ℃. The extruded material exhibits a twin-free microstructure with low internal strain energy, whereas the pre-twinned material possesses abundant {10-12} twins and has high internal strain energy. The aging results reveal that the peak-aging time of the pre-twinned material(1 h) is one-eighth of that of the extruded material(8 h). Although Mg_(17)Al_(12) continuous precipitates(CPs)are observed in both the peak-aged materials, these CPs are much smaller and more densely distributed in the pre-twinned material despite the significantly shorter aging time. The CPs size in the peak-aged materials increases in the following order: twinned region in the pre-twinned material(0.47 μm) < residual matrix region in the pre-twinned material(1.71 μm) < matrix region in the extruded material(2.55 μm).Moreover, the CPs number density in the twinned region of the pre-twinned material is approximately 11 times higher than that in the matrix region of the extruded material. The peak-aged pre-twinned material exhibits significantly higher tensile strength and ductility than the peak-aged extruded material. These results demonstrate that the formation of {10-12} twins in the extruded AZ80 alloy substantially accelerates the static precipitation of CPs during aging at 300 ℃ and improves the tensile properties of the peak-aged material.展开更多

[Method] Mexi- can hat wavelet was used to analyze multi-scale characteristics of the monthly precipitation data in Chengde from 1951 to 2008. We revealed multi- time-scale complex structure of the precipitation change in Chengde, analyzed change cycles and mutation points of the precipitation series under different time scales, and identified primary period in each series. [ Result]There were high/low value centers of the precipitation under interdec- adal scale (more than 10 years). Under interannual scale (below 10 years), oscillation was complex and variable, but 4-year scale had obvious high-frequency oscillation. Wavelet variance analysis verified existence of the 4-year precipitation cycle, and M - K test also confirmed conclusions of the wavelet analysis. [ Conclusion] We could judge from alternating wet and dry conditions that the wet year decreased significantly, and the cur- rent Drecioitation was still less than normal.展开更多

The synthetic method utilized the Mannich-type reaction of an N-monosubstituted thiourea, an aldehyde, and triphenyl phosphate in glacial acetic acid solution. The experimental results of flotation of the cerussite mineral show that the collector has stronger collecting ability and higher selectivity in a neutral and a slightly alkaline medium, especially in the pulp of pH=8. Using the measurements by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the cerussite mineral, the collector, as well as the cerussite treated with the collector, the flotation mechanism of cerussite has been discussed. It is concluded that the adsorption of collector on cerussite is a chemical adsorption through the electron donor atoms of the collector chelating the Pb ( Ⅱ ) of cerussite to form chelate.展开更多

Scale inhibitors are widely used to prevent salt precipitation within reservoirs, in downhole equipment, and in production facilities. The scale inhibitors not only must have high effectiveness to prevent scale formation, but also have good adsorption- desorption characteristics, which determine the operation duration of the scale inhibitors. This work is focused on the development of a new scale inhibitor for preventing cal- cium carbonate formation in three different synthetic for- mation waters. Scale inhibition efficiency, optical density of the solution, induction time of calcium carbonate for- mation, corrosion activity, and adsorption-desorption ability were investigated for the developed scale inhibitor. The optimum concentration of hydrochloric acid in the inhibitor was determined by surface tension measurement on the boundary layer between oil and the aqueous scale inhibitor solution. The results show that the optimum mass percentage of 5 % hydrochloric acid solution in the inhi- bitor was in the range of 8 % to 10 %. The new scale inhibitor had high efficiency at a concentration of 30 mg/L. The results indicate that the induction period for calcium carbonate nucleation in the presence of the new inhibitor was about 3.5 times longer than the value in the absence of the inhibitors. During the desorption process at reservoir conditions, the number of pore volumes injected into the carbonate core for the developed inhibitor was significantly greater than the volume of a tested industrial inhibitor, showing better adsorption/desorption capacity.展开更多

The results showed that, when 17-4 PH stainless steel aging at 595℃, the bulk hardness of samples attains its peak value (42.5 HRC) for about 20 min, and then decreases at all time. TEM revealed the microstructure corresponding with peak hardness is that the fine spheroid-shape copper with the fcc crystal structure and the fiber-shape secondary carbide M23C6 precipitated from the lath martensite matrix. Both precipitations of copper and M23C6 are the reasons for strengthening of the alloy at this temperature. With the extension of holding time at this temperature, the copper and secondary carbide grow and lose the coherent relationship with the matrix, so the bulk hardness of samples decreases.展开更多

The TEM images showed that Li(Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3)O2 was modified successfully with nano-Al2O3. The discharge capacity retention of Al2O3-modified Li(Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3)O2 maintained about 99% after 200 cycles at high temperature(55 ℃), while that of the bare one was only 86%. Also, unlike bare Li(Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3)O2, the Al2O3-modified material cathode exhibited good thermal stability.展开更多

The nickel oxide particles were characterized by X-ray Diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results indicate that nano-sized NiO has a crystal phase with a standard face-centered cubic lattice structure, with a mean particle diameter of about 10 nm. The evaluation of the activity of nickel oxide nanoparticles in the catalytic hydrogenation of 7-methoxy-1-naphthylacetonitrile was carried out. The results demonstrate the efficient synthesis of the title compound by a one-pot catalytic hydrogenation and acetylation with NiO. The NiO nanoparticles displayed superior catalytic activity in the synthesis of agomelatine in the one-pot reaction.The total yield of agomelatine is over 81.8% with a purity of 99.2%, as determined by HPLC. The structure of agomelatine was confirmed by IR, MS, and 1 H NMR analysis.展开更多

In this study, the precipitation of Ni(Ⅱ) from strongly acidic wastewater using sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate(DDTC) as the precipitant was evaluated. The effects of various factors on precipitation were investigated, and the precipitation mechanism was also identified. Finally, the nickel in the precipitates was recovered following a pyrometallurgical method. The results show that, under optimised conditions(DDTC:Ni(Ⅱ) molar ratio = 4:1;temperature = 25 ℃), the Ni(Ⅱ) removal efficiency reached 99.3% after 10 min. In strongly acidic wastewater, the dithiocarbamate group of DDTC can react with Ni(Ⅱ) to form DDTC –Ni precipitates. Further recovery experiments revealed that high-purity Ni O can be obtained by the calcination of DDTC –Ni precipitates, with the nickel recovery efficiency reaching 98.2%. The gas released during the calcination process was composed of NO_(2), CS_(2), H_(2)O, CO_(2), and SO_(2). These results provide a basis for an effective Ni(Ⅱ) recovery method from strongly acidic wastewater.展开更多
