The process has three steps in which nanosized tungsten particles were first coated with PF, then the precursors were carburized at 950℃, and finally the carburized powders were treated in flowing wet hydrogen atmosphere at 940℃ to remove the uncombined carbon. The obtained powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and combustion-gas-volume method. The results indicated that single-phase WC could be synthesized using excessive PF as carburizer at a much lower temperature compared with using mixed carbon black. After wet hydrogen treating, the mean size of the obtained WC particles was 94.5 nm and the total carbon content was 6.18 wt.%.展开更多

It is found that the prepared carbon materials still maintain the typical spherical shapes after the activation, and have highly developed ultra-microporosity with uniform pore size, indicating that almost the activation takes place in the interior of the polymer spheres. The narrow-distributed ultra-micropores are attributed to the "in-situ homogeneous activation"effect produced by the mono-dispersed potassium ions as a form of -OK groups in the bulk of polymer spheres. The CS-1 sample prepared under a KOH/resins weight ratio of 1 shows a very high COcapture capacity of 4.83 mmol/g and good CO/Nselectivity of7-45. We believe that the presence of a welldeveloped ultra-microporosity is responsible for excellent COsorption performance at room temperature and ambient pressure.展开更多

Then the magnesia carbon bricks were prepared using the LPF as binder. Different process conditions of LPFs such as calcium lignosulfonate additions( 10%,20%,30%,40% and 50%,in mass,the same hereinafter),catalyzer additions( extra added,1%,2%,3%,4% and 5%) and reaction times( 1,1. 5,2,2. 5 and 3 h) were investigated. Effects of prepared LPFs on properties of magnesia carbon bricks( baked at 200 ℃ for 24 h) were researched in order to modify the synthesizing conditions of LPFs. Cold physical properties and hot modulus of rupture of magnesia carbon bricks bonded by LPF and by traditional PF after baked at 200 ℃ for 24 h and fired at 1 200 ℃ for 3 h were compared,respectively. The results show that the optimal synthesizing conditions of LPF for preparing magnesia carbon bricks are 30% calcium lignosulfonate,1% catalyzer,and 2 h reaction time. The magnesia carbon bricks bonded by the optimal LPF achieve:( 1) the bulk densities 2. 84 g · cm- 3and 2. 82g·cm- 3,apparent porosities 9. 6% and 14. 6%,moduli of rupture 17. 8 MPa and 6. 4 MPa,crushing strengths72. 3 MPa and 48. 7 MPa,after baked at 200 ℃ and1 200 ℃,respectively;( 2) the hot modulus of rupture7. 3 MPa after fired at 1 400 ℃. The above properties are better than those of the magnesia carbon brick bonded by PF.展开更多

Wheat straws were treated at three levels of urea concentration (5%, 10%, 15%) and 95℃ as holding temperature. Wheat straw particleboards were manufactured using hot press at 180℃ and 3 MPa with two types of UF adhesive (UF-45, UF-91). Then the formaldehyde emission values, physical properties and mechanical properties were considered. The results show that the for- maldehyde emission value was decreased by increasing urea concentration. Furthermore, the results indicate that the specimens under urea treatment have better mechanical and physical properties compared with control specimens. Also specimens under urea treatment at 10% concentration and UF-91 type adhesive have the most optimum physical and mechanical strength.展开更多
