Nano-TiO~ thin films were loaded on the carrier by chemical liquid deposition method using titanium tetrachloride as a precursor. The micro-morphology and microstructure of the synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, and mercury injection method. The photo-catalytic activity of the TiO2 thin films was investigated by degrading formaldehyde. The main crystalline phase in the TiO2 thin films calcined at 550~C is anatase with the average particle size about 10 nm. The specific surface area of the carrier-coated nano-TiO2 increases from 3.68 to 5.32 m2/g. The formaldehyde removal rate of the TiO2/medical stone-based porous ceramics irradiated under an ultraviolet lamp for 120 min reaches 85.6%.展开更多

Thus, the development of new conductive powders as fillers is urgently needed. A novel gaseous penetration technology was adopted to prepare La-doped medical stone powders(La-MSPs), which are inexpensive mesoporous materials, as a new kind of conductive filler material. The prepared La-MSPs attained a resistivity of 450 ?·m and were used as a filler to prepare conductive coatings with epoxy resin as the resin matrix. The influence of the La-MSPs dosage on the resistance and hardness of the coatings was also determined. The resistance and the hardness both decreased with increasing filler dosage. Finally, the optimum recipe of the conductive coatings with the most suitable fillers dosage(55 wt%) was obtained. The hardness and resistance of the coatings with 55 wt% La-MSPs were HV 4 and 5.5 × 10~7 ?, respectively.展开更多

Moreover, the kinetics was also studied. It is found that adding SO_4^(2-)/medical stone was favorable to removal of volatile matter, while adding Co Mo P/medical stone could inhibit the emission of volatiles. Moreover, the results also showed that adding Co Mo P/medical stone made the total sulfur retention higher, while adding SO_4^(2-)/medical stone made the total sulfur retention lower. Adding modified medical stone was beneficial to removal of sulfate sulfur and pyritic sulfur, while it was beneficial to retaining organic sulfur in the residue. Furthermore, adding Co Mo P/medical stone and SO_4^(2-)/medical stone all could increase the emission of H_2S when the temperature was higher than 450℃. Judging from the kinetics study, it also can be known that addition of the natural minerals could result in a decrease of the pre-exponential factor and also change the apparent activation energy upon comparing the apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor of raw Longma coal at 435—537℃.展开更多
