Green copper arsenite was prepared after copper sulfate was added into the neutralized wastewater when the molar ratio of Cu to As was 2：1 and pH value of the neutralized wastewater was adjusted to 8.0 by sodium hydroxide. The arsenious acid solution and red residue were produced after copper arsenite mixed with water according to the ratio of liquid to solid of 4：1 and copper arsenite was reduced by SO2 at 60℃ for 1 h. The white powder was gained after the arsenious acid solution was evaporated and cooled. Copper sulfate solution was obtained after the red residue was leached by H2SO4 solution under the action of air. The results show that red residue is Cu3（SO3）2·2H2O and the white powder is As2O3. The leaching rate of Cu reaches 99.00% when the leaching time is 1.5 h, molar ratio of H2SO4 to Cu is 1.70, H2SO4 concentration is 24% and the leaching temperature is 80 ℃. The direct recovery rate of copper sulfate is 79.11% and the content of CuSOa·5H2O is up to 98.33% in the product after evaporating and cooling the copper sulfate solution.展开更多

The central composite rotatable design(CCRD) and approximation method were used to determine the optimum conditions of zinc and copper recovery to a solution. The experimental design was done at five levels of the four operating parameters which were the initial concentration of NH–3, the initial Cl ions concentration, leaching time and solid/liquid ratio. Two mathematical models describing dependence of metal recovery on the operating parameters were obtained. The models are successful in predicting the responses. It was found that optimal parameters for zinc and copper recovery are as follows(values for copper are given in brackets): initial CNH3 17.1%(19.9%), initial CCl– 160 g/L(160 g/L), leaching process duration 4.56 h(4.13 h), solid/liquid ratio 0.39(0.53). The maximum Zn and Cu recoveries to solution, obtained experimentally under the conditions, are 81.16% and 56.48%, respectively.展开更多

Now the dissimilar metal joints are especially popular in defense, aerospace, automobile, bio-medical,refinery and nuclear engineerings. In friction welding, some special alloys with dual phase are not joined successfully due to poor bonding strength. The alloy surfaces after bonding also have metallurgical changes in the line of interfacing. The reported research work in this area is scanty. Although the sound weld zone of direct bonding between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L was obtained though many trials, the joint was not successful. In this paper, the friction welding characteristics between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L into which pure oxygen free copper(OFC) was introduced as interlayer were investigated. Boxe Behnken design was used to minimize the number of experiments to be performed. The weld joint was analyzed for its mechanical strength. The highest tensile strength between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L between which pure copper was used as insert metal was acquired. Micro-structural analysis and elemental analysis were carried out by EDS, and the formation of intermetallic compound at the interface was identified by XRD analysis.展开更多

文摘The ultrafine copper wire with a diameter of 18μm is prepared via cold drawing process from the single crystal downcast billet(Φ8 mm),taking a drawing strain to 12.19.In this paper,in-depth investigation of the microstructure feature,texture evolution,mechanical properties,and electrical conductivity of ultrafine wires ranging fromΦ361μm toΦ18μm is performed.Specially,the microstructure feature and texture type covering the whole longitudinal section of ultrafine wires are elaborately characterized.The results show that the average lamella thickness decreases from 1.63μm to 102 nm during the drawing process.Whereas,inhomogeneous texture evolution across different wire sections was observed.The main texture types of copper wires are comprised of<111>,<001>and<112>orientations.Specifically,the peripheral region is primarily dominated by<111>and<112>,while the central region is dominated by<001>and<111>.As the drawing strain increases,the volume fraction of hard orientation<111>with low Schmid factor increases,where notably higher fraction of<111>is resulted from the consumption of<112>and<001>for the wire ofΦ18μm.For drawn copper wire of 18μm,superior properties are obtained with a tensile strength of 729.8 MPa and an electrical conductivity of 86.9%IACS.Furthermore,it is found that grain strengthening,dislocation strengthening,and texture strengthening are three primary strengthening mechanisms of drawn copper wire,while the dislocation density is the main factor on the reducing of conductivity.

文摘An active protection coating for pH-responsive was prepared.The hollow mesoporous silica microspheres(HMSNs)were loaded with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole(MBT),and then they were coated with chitosan(CS).The composite microspheres were in the range of 650−750 nm in diameter.CS-HMSN-MBT coating had a faster repair rate under acidic conditions by synergistic effect between CS and MBT.The repair rate under alkaline conditions was slowed down.The active protection performance reached the strongest after 3 d immersion.The corrosion inhibitor release mechanism was optimized to extend the service life of the coating and to achieve long-term service of the copper substrate.
文摘Industrial activities such as smelting emissions,mineral combustion and industrial wastewater discharge might lead to copper pollution in the environment.This kind of copper pollution has harmful effects on aquatic o rganisms,plants and animals through direct or indirect exposure.However,the current understanding of the toxicity of copper is rather limited.Copper overload can perturb intracellular homeostasis and induce oxidative stress and e ven cell death.Recently,cuproptosis has been identified as a copper-dependent form of cell death induced by o xidative stress in mitochondria.We uncover here that zinc transporter 1(ZNT1)is an important regulator involved in cuproptosis.Firstly,we established the copper overload-induced cell death model with the overexpression of copper importer SLC31A1 in HeLa cells.Using this model,we conducted unbiased genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens in cells treated with copper.Our results revealed a significant enrichment of ZNT1 gene in both library A and library B plasmids.Knocking out of ZNT1 in HeLa cells notably prevented cuproptosis.Subsequent knockout of metal transcription factor 1(MTF1)in ZNT1-deficient cells nearly abolished their ability to resist copper-induced cell death.However,overexpression of metallothionein 1X(MT1X)in the double-knockout cells could p artially restored the resistance to cuproptosis by loss of MTF1.Mechanistically,knockout of ZNT1 could promote MT1X expression by activating MTF1.As a consequence,the interaction between MT1X and copper was e nhanced,reducing the flow of copper into mitochondria and eliminating mitochondria damage.Taken together,this study reveals the important role of ZNT1 in cuproptosis and shows MTF1-MT1X axis mediated resistance to c uproptosis.Moreover,our study will help to understand the regulatory mechanism of cellular and systemic copper homeostasis under copper overload,and present insights into novel treatments for damages caused by both genetic copper overload diseases and environmental copper contamination.

文摘Urea,paracetamol and glutamine(based on the expired drugs)were selected as vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors(VCIs)to study their corrosion protection effect on red copper in simulated marine atmospheric environment by using weight loss,electrochemical measurement techniques(specially designed electrochemical testing device for simulating marine atmospheric environments)and surface morphology characterization analysis(SEM/EDS,XRD,RAMAN,XPS).Weight loss results show that the three corrosion inhibitors have good corrosion inhibition effect on red copper,and the corrosion inhibition efficiency in the order of glutamine(83.62%)>urea(68.46%)>paracetamol(61.47%).Surface morphology characterization analysis provides evidence of adsorption of corrosion inhibitors molecules on the red copper surface,thus forming a protective film that blocked the red copper surface from the aggressive chloride ion attack.

文摘To recover metal from copper slags,a new process involving two steps of oxidative desulfurization followed by smelting reduction was proposed in which one hazardous waste(waste cathode carbon)was used to treat another(copper slags).The waste cathode carbon is used not only as a reducing agent but also as a fluxing agent to decrease slag melting point.Upon holding for 60 min in air atmosphere first and then smelting with 14.4 wt%waste cathode carbon and 25 wt%CaO for 180 min in high purity Ar atmosphere at 1450℃,the recovery rates of Cu and Fe reach 95.89%and 94.64%,respectively,and meanwhile greater than 90%of the fluoride from waste cathode carbon is transferred into the final slag as CaF_(2) and Ca_(2)Si_(2)F_(2)O_(7),which makes the content of soluble F in the slag meet the national emission standard.Besides,the sulphur content in the obtained Fe-Cu alloy is low to 0.03 wt%.
文摘The solid sodium hydroxide neutralized acidic As-containing wastewater till pH value was 6. Green copper arsenite was prepared after copper sulfate was added into the neutralized wastewater when the molar ratio of Cu to As was 2：1 and pH value of the neutralized wastewater was adjusted to 8.0 by sodium hydroxide. The arsenious acid solution and red residue were produced after copper arsenite mixed with water according to the ratio of liquid to solid of 4：1 and copper arsenite was reduced by SO2 at 60℃ for 1 h. The white powder was gained after the arsenious acid solution was evaporated and cooled. Copper sulfate solution was obtained after the red residue was leached by H2SO4 solution under the action of air. The results show that red residue is Cu3（SO3）2·2H2O and the white powder is As2O3. The leaching rate of Cu reaches 99.00% when the leaching time is 1.5 h, molar ratio of H2SO4 to Cu is 1.70, H2SO4 concentration is 24% and the leaching temperature is 80 ℃. The direct recovery rate of copper sulfate is 79.11% and the content of CuSOa·5H2O is up to 98.33% in the product after evaporating and cooling the copper sulfate solution.

文摘The effects of introducing M.sedula derivatives having different Cu^2+-resistance on bioleaching capacity of a defined consortium(consisting of A.brierleyi DSM1651 and M.hakonensis HO1-1)were studied in column reactors at 70℃.Introducing M.sedula copA mutant,a copper sensitive derivative,only had negligible effects on bioleaching.While introducing M.sedula ARS50-2,a Cu^2+resistant strain,substantially consolidated bioleaching process,with 27.77%more copper recovered after 58 d of bioleaching.Addition of M.sedula ARS50-2 likely enhanced the sulfur oxidation capacity of consortium after the 24th day under the Cu^2+stress.The majority of extreme thermoacidophiles were attached on minerals surface as indicated by quantitative PCR(qPCR)data.Successions of microbial community of extremely thermoacidophilic consortia that attached on surface of minerals were different from those in leachate.M.hakonensis HO1-1 was the dominant species attached on minerals surface in each column reactor throughout bioleaching process.The sessile M.sedula ARS50-2 remained as a major species till the 34th day.A.brierleyi DSM1651 was the most abundant planktonic species in leachate of each column reactor.These results highlight that higher Cu^2+-resistance is a beneficial trait for extreme thermoacidophiles to process copper minerals.

文摘Copper azide with high density was successfully synthesized by in-situ reaction of nanoporous copper(NPC)precursor with HN_(3) gaseous.NPC with pore size of about 529 nm has been prepared by electroless plating using polystyrene(PS)as templates.The copper shells thickness of NPC was controlled by adjusting the PS loading amount.The effects of copper shell on the morphology,structure and density of copper azide were investigated.The conversion increased from 87.12%to 95.31%when copper shell thickness decrease from 100 to 50 nm.Meanwhile,the density of copper azide prepared by 529 nm NPC for 24 h was up to 2.38 g/cm^(3).The hollow structure of this NPC was filled by swelling of copper azide which guaranteed enough filling volume for keeping the same shape as well as improving the charge density.Moreover,HNS-IV explosive was successfully initiated by copper azide with minimum charge thickness of 0.55 mm,showing that copper azide prepared has excellent initiation performance,which has more advantages in the application of miniaturized explosive systems.
文摘A computer model has been developed to simulate the distribution behaviors of Ni, Co. Sn. Ph,Zn, As, Sb, Bi, An and Ag in copper smelting process. The model assumes that the copper smelting furnaceis in thermodynamic equilibrium. As many as 21 elements (Cu. S, Fe. Ni, Co. Sn, As, Sb. Bi, Ph. Zn.An. Ag. O, N, C, H, Ca, Mg, Al, and St) and 73 compounds are considered. This model accounts forphysical entrainment in the melts. The predictions by the present computer model are compared with theknown commercial data from Guixi Smelter in China, Home Smelter in Canada and Naoshima Smelter inJapan. The agreements between the computer predictions and the commercial data are excellent, so that thepresent computer model can be used to monitor and optimize the actual industrial operations of copper smelting. It is applicable to simulation of almost all copper pyrometallurgical processes.
文摘The feasibility of copper smelter slag processing by ammonia solution treatment was investigated. The central composite rotatable design(CCRD) and approximation method were used to determine the optimum conditions of zinc and copper recovery to a solution. The experimental design was done at five levels of the four operating parameters which were the initial concentration of NH–3, the initial Cl ions concentration, leaching time and solid/liquid ratio. Two mathematical models describing dependence of metal recovery on the operating parameters were obtained. The models are successful in predicting the responses. It was found that optimal parameters for zinc and copper recovery are as follows(values for copper are given in brackets): initial CNH3 17.1%(19.9%), initial CCl– 160 g/L(160 g/L), leaching process duration 4.56 h(4.13 h), solid/liquid ratio 0.39(0.53). The maximum Zn and Cu recoveries to solution, obtained experimentally under the conditions, are 81.16% and 56.48%, respectively.

文摘A process was proposed to convert and separate selenium and arsenic in copper anode slime(CAS) by low-temperature alkali fusion process.Central composite design was employed to optimize the effective parameters,in which Na OH/CAS mass ratio,fusion temperature and fusion time were selected as variables,and the conversion ratio of selenium and arsenic as responses.Second-order polynomial models of high significance and 3D response surface plots were constructed to show the relationship between the responses and the variables.Optimum area of >90% selenium conversion ratio and >90% arsenic conversion ratio was obtained by the overlaid contours at Na OH/CAS mass ratio of 0.65-0.75,fusion temperature of 803-823 K and fusion time of 20-30 min.The models are validated by experiments in the optimum area,and the results demonstrate that these models are reliable and accurate in predicting the fusion process.
文摘The basic principle of friction welding is intermetallic bonding at the stage of super plasticity attained with self-generating heat due to friction and finishing at upset pressure. Now the dissimilar metal joints are especially popular in defense, aerospace, automobile, bio-medical,refinery and nuclear engineerings. In friction welding, some special alloys with dual phase are not joined successfully due to poor bonding strength. The alloy surfaces after bonding also have metallurgical changes in the line of interfacing. The reported research work in this area is scanty. Although the sound weld zone of direct bonding between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L was obtained though many trials, the joint was not successful. In this paper, the friction welding characteristics between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L into which pure oxygen free copper(OFC) was introduced as interlayer were investigated. Boxe Behnken design was used to minimize the number of experiments to be performed. The weld joint was analyzed for its mechanical strength. The highest tensile strength between Tie6Ale4 V and SS304 L between which pure copper was used as insert metal was acquired. Micro-structural analysis and elemental analysis were carried out by EDS, and the formation of intermetallic compound at the interface was identified by XRD analysis.
