The metallic Li which is isolated from the lithium anode (named dead Li^(0)) consists the major component of the inactive Li. We systematically and meticulously investigated the formation and evaluation of dead Li^(0) during stripping process from electron transfer, the oxidation of Li^(0) to Li^(+) and the diffusion of Li^(+) through solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The above-mentioned processes were regulated by adjusting the contact sites of electron channels, the dynamic rate of conversion from Li^(0) to Li^(+), and the structure as well as components of SEI. The design principles for achieving less dead Li^(0) and higher CE are proposed as a proof of concept in lithium metal batteries. This new insight sheds a comprehensive light on dead Li^(0) formation and guides the next-generation safe batteries for future application.展开更多

The experiments were conducted on a wave-thread packed Rotating Packed Bed(RPB) under atmospheric pressure, suggesting that, in terms of order of importance, the ammonium concentration of feed-stock(x_w), the average ultra-gravity factor(β), feed-stock flux(L), and gas flux(G) had significant impact on ammonium removal rate(η) and the ammonium concentration of products(x_D). In the experiment, mass-transfer coefficient in gas phase(k_ya_e) increases with the increase of β, G/L, and L. The ammonium concentration of products decreases with the increase of β, G/L and the increase of L. The ammonium concentration of products would be as low as ~0.10% and the ammonia removal rate would be 63.21% when skim temperature was 25 °C, x_w0.28%, β 133.2, and G/L 15.0 m^3·L^(-1). Experiment results indicated that the proposed technology for removing ammonium from skim on a rotating packed bed would be a new process-intensified technique compared with traditional aeration process and centrifugal atomization method.展开更多

Thirty seven eyes of 37 patients who underwent DSAEK for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy(PBK) were included in this study. Graft thickness was measured with optical coherence tomography(OCT) 12 mo after DSAEK. Eyes were divided into 3 groups based on the graft thickness:thick(】200 μm), medium-thick(150-200 μm) and thin(【150 μm). Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),endothelial cells density(ECD) and complications were assessed and comparisons were done between groups.RESULTS: Median thickness of postoperative grafts was 188(range 73-317 μm). There was no significant difference in age, sex, preoperative BCVA, or follow-up period between DSAEK groups. At postoperative 12 mo,mean BCVA was 0.28±0.10 in thick graft group, 0.52±0.08 in medium-thick graft group, and 0.72 ±0.06 in thin graft group. Thin grafts showed better postoperative BCVA as compared with the medium-thick and thick grafts(P =0.001). Thick graft group had 1637.44 ±88.19-mm2,medium thick graft had 1764.50±34.28-mm2 and thin graft group had 1845.30 ±65.62-mm2. Thin graft group had better ECD at 12 mo after surgery(P =0.001).CONCLUSION: Thin grafts after DSAEK ensure better visual rehabilitation. Eyes with thin grafts had significantly lesser loss of ECD compared to eyes withmedium-thick and thick grafts one year after surgery.展开更多

An environment friendly solution hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide without hydrofluoric acid or fluoride were used to strip the oxide films. The morphologies of the surface and cross-section of the oxide films before and after the films stripping were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructure and chemical compositions of the oxide films before and after the films stripping were investigated by using Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was shown that the thickness of the oxide film was in the range of 5-6 μm. The oxide films were stripped for 2 to 8 min in the solution. Moreover, the effect of the stripping time on the efficiency of the film stripping was investigated, and the optimum stripping time was between 6-8 min. When the stripping solution completely dissolved the whole film, the α/β microstructure of the titanium alloy Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al was partly revealed. The stripping mechanism was discussed in terms of the dissolution of film delamination. The hydrogen peroxide had a significant effect on the dissolution of the titanium alloy anodic oxide film. The feasibility of the dissolution reaction also was evaluated.展开更多

Different materials were used as packing materials for the air stripping system. The effect of pH over 10.5, air-water flow ratio, nature of packing materials, height of materials and initial influent concentration of ammonia on air stripping unit were investigated. An attempt has been made to find out the stripping con-stant. Stripping constant was found to be .001, 0014, .001 and .0009 for coal, plastic ring, stone chips and wood chips, respectively. Best result was found for plastic ring for its higher surface area. Wood chips did not give good result, because the chips amalgamate with each other and hence reduces the surface area.展开更多

The effects of extraetant concentration, pH and sulfate ion as well as stripping agents, acidity and temperature on the extraction and stripping were studied. The equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters, such as △n (10.76 kJ·mol^-1), △G (-79.26 kJ·mol^-1) and △S (292.41 J·K^-1·mol^-1), were calculated. The extraction mechanism and the complex species extracted were determined by slope analysis and FTIR spectra. Furthermore, it was found that the extraction of Yb (Ⅲ) from sulfuric acid medium by Cyanex 923 increased with pH, concentration of SO4^2-, HSO4^-, and extractant concentration, and approximately a quantitative extraction of Yb( Ⅲ) was achieved at an equilibrium pH near 3.0, and the extracted complex was YbSO4(HSO4)·2Cyanex923(o).展开更多

文摘Lithium (Li) metal attributes to the promising anode but endures the low Columbic efficiency (CE) and safety issues from the inactive Li accumulation. The metallic Li which is isolated from the lithium anode (named dead Li^(0)) consists the major component of the inactive Li. We systematically and meticulously investigated the formation and evaluation of dead Li^(0) during stripping process from electron transfer, the oxidation of Li^(0) to Li^(+) and the diffusion of Li^(+) through solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The above-mentioned processes were regulated by adjusting the contact sites of electron channels, the dynamic rate of conversion from Li^(0) to Li^(+), and the structure as well as components of SEI. The design principles for achieving less dead Li^(0) and higher CE are proposed as a proof of concept in lithium metal batteries. This new insight sheds a comprehensive light on dead Li^(0) formation and guides the next-generation safe batteries for future application.

文摘Based on the effects of skim components on ammonium removal as well as the current processing technology, a new process-intensified technology of removing ammonia from skim by air stripping on rotating packed bed was proposed. The experiments were conducted on a wave-thread packed Rotating Packed Bed(RPB) under atmospheric pressure, suggesting that, in terms of order of importance, the ammonium concentration of feed-stock(x_w), the average ultra-gravity factor(β), feed-stock flux(L), and gas flux(G) had significant impact on ammonium removal rate(η) and the ammonium concentration of products(x_D). In the experiment, mass-transfer coefficient in gas phase(k_ya_e) increases with the increase of β, G/L, and L. The ammonium concentration of products decreases with the increase of β, G/L and the increase of L. The ammonium concentration of products would be as low as ~0.10% and the ammonia removal rate would be 63.21% when skim temperature was 25 °C, x_w0.28%, β 133.2, and G/L 15.0 m^3·L^(-1). Experiment results indicated that the proposed technology for removing ammonium from skim on a rotating packed bed would be a new process-intensified technique compared with traditional aeration process and centrifugal atomization method.

The microstructure and chemical compositions of the oxide films before and after the films stripping were investigated by using Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was shown that the thickness of the oxide film was in the range of 5-6 μm. The oxide films were stripped for 2 to 8 min in the solution. Moreover, the effect of the stripping time on the efficiency of the film stripping was investigated, and the optimum stripping time was between 6-8 min. When the stripping solution completely dissolved the whole film, the α/β microstructure of the titanium alloy Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al was partly revealed. The stripping mechanism was discussed in terms of the dissolution of film delamination. The hydrogen peroxide had a significant effect on the dissolution of the titanium alloy anodic oxide film. The feasibility of the dissolution reaction also was evaluated.

文摘Sour water contains ammonia,carbon dioxide,and hydrogen sulfides,producing from oil refining,coking,and coal gasification.To reduce the energy consumption in sour water stripping,a novel process is proposed which integrates with the bottom flashing mechanical vapor recompression heat pump(MVRHP)for treating such wastewater.Here,Aspen PlusTM as a powerful set of chemical process simulation software is utilized to investigate the economy and feasibility of the novel process.Comparison of the results of two process simulations,it can be seen that it is possible to reduce the total annual cost by nearly 45%to adopt the novel process,despite the capital investment increase 45%more than the conventional process.Thus,the provided conceptual design will play a guiding role in the industrialization of the process.

文摘The uncontrolled formation of lithium(Li)dendrites and the unnecessary consumption of electrolyte during the Li plating/stripping process have been major obstacles in developing safe and stable Li metal batteries.Herein,we report a cucumber-like lithiophilic composite skeleton(CLCS)fabricated through a facile oxidationimmersion-reduction method.The stepwise Li deposition and stripping,determined using in situ Raman spectra during the galvanostatic Li charging/discharging process,promote the formation of a dendrite-free Li metal anode.Furthermore,numerous pyridinic N,pyrrolic N,and CuxN sites with excellent lithiophilicity work synergistically to distribute Li ions and suppress the formation of Li dendrites.Owing to these advantages,cells based on CLCS exhibit a high Coulombic efficiency of 97.3%for 700 cycles and an improved lifespan of 2000 h for symmetric cells.The full cells assembled with LiFePO_(4)(LFP),SeS_(2) cathodes and CLCS@Li anodes demonstrate high capacities of 110.1 mAh g^(−1) after 600 cycles at 0.2 A g^(−1) in CLCS@Li|LFP and 491.8 mAh g^(−1) after 500 cycles at 1 A g^(−1) in CLCS@Li|SeS2.The unique design of CLCS may accelerate the application of Li metal anodes in commercial Li metal batteries.
文摘Air-stripping method was used to remove ammonia from the wastewater collected from natural gas fertilizer factory. Different materials were used as packing materials for the air stripping system. The effect of pH over 10.5, air-water flow ratio, nature of packing materials, height of materials and initial influent concentration of ammonia on air stripping unit were investigated. An attempt has been made to find out the stripping con-stant. Stripping constant was found to be .001, 0014, .001 and .0009 for coal, plastic ring, stone chips and wood chips, respectively. Best result was found for plastic ring for its higher surface area. Wood chips did not give good result, because the chips amalgamate with each other and hence reduces the surface area.

文摘The extraction and stripping of ytterbium( Ⅲ) from sulfuric acid medium using Cyanex 923 in heptane solution was investigated. The effects of extraetant concentration, pH and sulfate ion as well as stripping agents, acidity and temperature on the extraction and stripping were studied. The equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters, such as △n (10.76 kJ·mol^-1), △G (-79.26 kJ·mol^-1) and △S (292.41 J·K^-1·mol^-1), were calculated. The extraction mechanism and the complex species extracted were determined by slope analysis and FTIR spectra. Furthermore, it was found that the extraction of Yb (Ⅲ) from sulfuric acid medium by Cyanex 923 increased with pH, concentration of SO4^2-, HSO4^-, and extractant concentration, and approximately a quantitative extraction of Yb( Ⅲ) was achieved at an equilibrium pH near 3.0, and the extracted complex was YbSO4(HSO4)·2Cyanex923(o).
