The light scattering and light transmission measurements were used to characterize the equilibrium phase diagram and the gelation speed, respectively. The locations of the crystallization-induced gelation boundaries for various systems and precipitation processes were explained from the corresponding thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. It was found that the better affinity between alcohol-based nonsolvents and DMAc solvent caused the gelation boundaries further away from the PVDF-DMAc axis with the coagulation bath varying from water, methanol, ethanol to iso-propanol. Due to the lower exchange rate of DMAc and alcohols, the delayed demixing took place for the membrane-forming using alcohols as baths, and the delayed time became longer when the coagulation bath was changed from methanol, ethanol to iso-propanol. The characterization results of membranes indicate that the influence of nonsolvents on the phase diagram and the precipitation process are in agreement with those on the membrane morphology. The better thermodynamic stability and a low exchange diffusion rate of PVDF/DMAc/alcohols favor the liquid-solid phase separation in gelation process, and therefore yield the membranes with a porous upper surface, a particular bottom surface and symmetrical structure.展开更多

An accurate thermodynamic database based on physically sound thermodynamic models can provide thermodynamic calculations of useful phase diagrams and comprehensive chemical reactions related to refractory corrosion in steelmaking processes. In this study,the FactS age thermodynamic database,one of the most comprehensive thermodynamic databases for oxide systems among other commercial software,is reviewed in particular for the steelmaking refractory research,and several applications to refractory corrosion are presented.展开更多

The effects of parameters(i e, partial pressure of reactants, deposition temperature and total pressure) on the distribution regions of solid phase products were analyzed based on the diagrams. The results show that:(a) Solid phase products are mainly affected by deposition temperature. The area of BN+Si3N4 phase increases with the temperature rising from 650 to 900 ℃, and decreases with the temperature rising from 900 to 1 200 ℃;(b) When temperature and total pressure are constants, BN+Si3N4 phase exists at a high partial pressure of NH3;(c) The effect of total system pressure is correlated to deposition temperature. The temperature ranging from 700 to 900 ℃ under low total pressure is the optimum condition for the deposition.(d) Appropriate kinetic parameters can be determined based on the results of thermodynamic calculation. Si–B–N coating is obtained via low pressure chemical vapor deposition. The analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that B–N and Si–N are the main chemical bonds of the coating.展开更多

The associate solution model with various complex species(CsMFs, Cs2MF6 and Cs3MF7; M=Th, U) was used to thermodynamically describe the binary molten salts. A total of ten intermediate phases were treated as stoichiometric compounds with their Gibbs energies modeled according to the Neumann-Kopp rule. All these model parameters were optimized by the least squares procedure until good coincidence was achieved between the calculated results and most of the experimental data. The derived thermodynamic parameters will be merged into the multicomponent CsF-LiF-BeF2-ThF4-UF4 database for analyzing physicochemical behavior of CsF in the fuel salt of the molten salt breeder reactor.展开更多

The Gibbs free energy of high temperature solution was described by an ionic two-sublattice model as(Lu^(3+))P(O^(2-), SiO_2~0)Q. The calculated phase diagram below 1873 K was in good agreement with experimental data at 1573, 1773 and 1873 K. The calculated Gibbs energies of two intermediate phases Lu_2SiO_5 and Lu_2Si_2O_7, the activity of Lu_2O_3 and SiO_2 and specific heat capacities of intermediate phases agreed well with experimental results of Y_2O_3-SiO_2 system. This tentative study will offer help for the research of single-phase phosphor and related metallurgical slags, refractories, high-temperature superconductivity material systems.展开更多
