Dipyrido [3, 2-a:2,3-c] phenazine moiety has been introduced as neutral ligand in europium complex. Therefore, a new europium complex with saturated emission, strong fluorescent intensity and good solubility was designed and synthesized for the first time. Its photoluminescence and UV properties were examined. The experimental results showed that this new Eu-complex could be used as red electroluminescent materials.

Aging Kinetics in a CuNiSiCr Alloy

The aging precipitation behavior in solution treated Cu-Ni-Si-Cr alloy has been studied in terms of the analyses of the variations in electrical conductivity. On the basis of the linear relationship between the electrical conductivity and the volume fraction of the precipitates, the phase transformation kinetics equation was deduced from the Avrami empiricai formula. On the basis of this equation, transformation kinetics curves corresponding to 5% and 50% transformation were established.

High Temperature Oxidation Behavior of High Speed Steel for Roll in Water Vapor

The oxidation behavior of high speed steel (HSS) was researched by high temperature thermo balance at 500 to 800 °C in water vapor. The morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope, the microstructure of oxide scale was analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrum. The results indicate that the mass gain of HSS increases with oxidation temperature rising, the effect of oxidation temperature on the morphology is obvious, water vapor temperature only affects mass gain and affects hardly morphology of oxide scale at the same oxidation temperature. The relevant oxidation mechanisms are also discussed.

Remove volatile organic compounds(VOCs) with membrane separation techniques

Membrane separation, a new technology for removing VOCs including pervaporation, vapor permeation, membrane contactor, and membrane bioreactor was presented. Comparing with traditional techniques, these special techniques are an efficient and energy saving technology. Vapor permeation can be applied to recovery of organic solvents from exhaust streams. Membrane contactor could be used for removing or recovering VOCs from air or wastewater. Pervaporation and vapor permeation are viable methods for removing VOCs from wastewater to yield a VOC concentrate which could either be destroyed by conventional means, or be recycled for reuse.

Study on the Phase Transformation Behavior of Nanosized Amorphous TiO2

Nanosized amorphous TiO2 powders with a specific surface area of 501 m2·g-1 were prepared by hydrolysis. After calcined at 400℃ for 2 h, the prepared amorphous TiO2 powders were fully transformed into anatase crystallites with a specific surface area of 141 m2·g-1. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) experiments were performed on the samples of nanosized amorphous TiO2 mixed with microsized anatase, nanosized anatase, or nanosized α-Al2O3 respectively. Effects of sample packing, anatase addition, or α-Al2O3 addition on the crystallization behavior of nanosized amorphous TiO2 were analyzed.

Research on Wear Behavior of ATC Cermet Material

By electroless chemical deposition process, a layer of metal cobalt film was coated on the surface of nano-ceramic powders of A12O3 and TiC. The mixture of the two kinds of Co-coated power (about 70wt.% Al2O3-Co+30wt.%TiC-Co) was hot-pressed into ATC (A12O3—TiC—Co8wt%) cermet samples. The wear test was carried out under dry sliding wear condition by the pin-on-disk rig. The volume-loss of the samples in three sliding pairs, ATC/Steel, ATC/SiC and ATC/artificial diamond (AD) were investigated. The wear morphologies were examined by SEM. The wear-resistance between ATC cermet and Co-cemented WC were compared. The results show that the effect of fracture toughness is better than that of hardness to the wear resistance of high hardness materials. The wear mechanisms of ATC cermet samples were found that abrasion predominated in the wear process. The wear surface of ATC cermet samples became smoother with fine asperities spalling off and the volume loss was decreased.

ETHYLENE POLYMERIZATION AND COPOLYMERIZATION WITH POLAR MONOMERS BY A NEUTRAL NICKEL CATALYST COMBINED WITH CO-CATALYST OF Ni(COD)_2 OR AL(i-Bu)_3

A neutral nickel(Ⅱ)catalyst D,{[O-(3-cyclohexyl)(5-Cl)C_6H_2-ortho-C(H)=N-2,6-C_6H_3(i-Pr)_2]Ni(Ph_3P)(Ph)}hasbeen synthesized and characterized by IH-NMR,FTIR and elemental analysis.The results indicate that Al(i-Bu)_3 is aneffective cocatalyst for the neutral nickel catalyst.With bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0)[Ni(COD)_2]or Al(i-Bu)_3 as a co-catalyst,the neutral nickel catalyst D is active for ethylene polymerisation and copolymerisation with polar monomers(tert-butyl 10-undecenoate(BU),methyl 10-undecenoate(MU),allyl alcohol(AA)and 4-penten-1-ol(PO))under mild conditions.The resulting polymers were characterized by (?)H-NMR,FTIR,DSC,and GPC.From the comparative studies,Ni(COD)_2 ismore active than Al(i-Bu)_3 for ethylene homopolymerization,while Al(i-Bu)_3 is more effective than Ni(COD)_2 for ethylenecopolymerisation with polar monomers.The polymerization parameters which affect both the catalytic activity and propertiesof the resulting polyethylene were investigated in detail.Under the conditions of 20 μmol catalyst D and Ni(COD)_2/D=3(molar ratio) in 30 mL toluene solution at 45℃,12×105 Pa ethylene for 20 min,the polymerization activity reaches ashigh as 7.29×105 gPE.(mol.Ni.h)^(-1) and M_η,is 7.16×104 g.mol^(-1).For ethylene copolymerization with polar monomers,theeffect of comonomer concentrations was examined.As high as 0.97 mol% of MU,1.06 mol% of BU,1.04 mol% of AA and1.37 mol% of PO were incorporated into the polymer,respectively,catalyzed by D/Al(i-Bu)_3 system.

A New Method for Determination of Naphthenic Acids in Crude Oil

The petroleum acids in crude oil were separated by extraction with column chromatogram and anion exchange resin. The separation effect and the related composition and structure of petroleum acids were obtained by using IR (Infra-Red) spectra techniques. The separated petroleum acids can under special conditions react with methanol to form corresponding esters, which can be analyzed by CI (chemical ionization)-MS (mass spectrometry). The characteristic ion peaks m/z (M+15)+ of naphthenic acid esters combined with z-series formula CnH2n+zO2 of naphthenic acids can be used to classify naphthenic acids into fatty acids, mono-cyclic, bi-cyclic, tri-cyclic, and higher polycyclic acids. The analytical results can give the molecular weight and the carbon number distribution of petroleum acids contained in crude oil. The results of study indicate that this method is simple, rapid and easy in operation.

Application of Microwave Technology for Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel

The microwave technology was introduced for the desulfurization of diesel fuel. The atmosphericsecond side-cut diesel fraction, which was supplied by Liaohe Petrochemical Company, was desulfurized by anoxidation process under microwave irradiation. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can oxidize the sulfur compounds indiesel fuel selectively and convert them into sulfones. Based on the rule of dissolution by similar substances,these sulfones are removed from diesel fuel because they could be dissolved in solvent phase. So the sulfurcontent of diesel fuel is decreased. The influence of the concentration of oxidizing reagent, solvent phase to oilphase volume ratio (S/O), irradiation pressure, irradiation time, and the irradiation power have been investigated.The optimum conditions for the refining process was determined. The sulfur removal rate was 59.7% under theoptimum conditions of 8%H2O2, S/O=0.25, 0.05MPa, 6 min, and 375W, respectively. When no microwave irradia-tion was applied, the removal rate was 11.5% only.
