However, the issue of urea crystallization becomes increasingly serious with the implement of the new emissions standards. In this paper, urea deposit samples collected from engine test bed and tube furnace were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform-infrared analysis to aid the comprehension of urea deposit formation. Moreover, thermogravimetric tests were conducted to disclose the effects of catalyst on the thermal decomposition processes of urea deposit. The results indicated that less temperature resistant species are formed in the engine test bed than in the tube furnace at conditions with the same temperatures. The main compositions in the World Harmonized Transient Cycle(WHTC) urea deposits are urea, cyanuric acid(CYA) and ammelide, implying that accelerating the decomposition of these species could prevent the accumulation of urea deposit. CuWTi, Cu β and CuZSM catalysts could lead to increased yield of CYA during pure urea thermolysis. Cu β, CuWTi and VWTi catalysts tend to promote the thermolysis of CYA while VWTi has the most significant catalytic effects on the thermal decomposition of ammelide and ammeline.展开更多

The codeposition behavior and effect of the cathodic current density on the coating composition were examined. As a result, lanthanum codeposited with nickel to form Ni-La alloy under the inducement effect of nickel. With the increase of the cathodic current density, the content of lanthanum of the deposit rose at first, then decreased, and reached the maximal value (10.3%(atom fraction)) at the current density 15 mA·cm-2. The crystallization behavior of Ni89.7La10.3 coating was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The structure of Ni89.7La10.3 as-plated coating was amorphous phase. The amorphous phase was converted into center cubic close packed Ni-La (Fm3m) solid solution at 469.8 ℃. The electro-catalytic activity of hydrogen evolution of Ni89.7La10.3 coating was studied using electrochemical experiments, the results showed that the electro-catalytic activity of hydrogen evolution of Ni89.7La10.3 coating was better than that of nickel.展开更多

It is shown that the reduction of Co(Ⅱ) to Co is irreversible reaction with the transfer coefficient of 0.28 and the diffusion coefficient of 7.46×10 -5 cm 2/s. While La(Ⅲ) cannot be reduced to La directly; but can be codeposited with cobalt. The content of La in the uncrystallized La-Co alloy film increases with increasing cathodic overpotential, molar ratio of La 3+ to Co 2+ and electrolysis time as well, and reaches the maximum of 66.32%.展开更多

The uncrystallized alloy film of La-Ni is obtained by potentiostatic electrolysis, and the amount of La grows with increasing cathodic overpotential, molar ratios of La(Ⅲ) to Ni(Ⅱ) and the electrolysis time. The maximum amount of La in alloy film reaches to 78.81% (mass fraction) in present study.展开更多
