The effects of MgO on densification and consolidation of pellets were investigated. The experimental results show that, at the same process parameters, the porosity and pore size distribution of green pellets have no evident relation with the MgO bearing additive, pore size of green pellets is between 15 μm and 35 μm and the porosity of green pellets is about 34%. There is a densification and consolidation phenomenon during the induration process; the pore size and porosity of product pellets decrease gradually; and the structure of product pellets becomes dense.

文摘In order to explore the mechanism of improving the surface wettability of low-energy polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)by new extended surfactants,five kinds of extended anionic surfactants with different numbers of oxypropylene(PO)and oxyethylene(EO),octadecyl-(PO)_(m)-(EO)_(n)-sodium carboxylate(C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C,m=5,10,15,n=5,10,15),were studied.The surface tension and contact angle of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C solution with different concentrations were measured,and the adhesion tension,PTFE-water interfacial tension,and adhesion work were calculated.It was found that the extended surfactant molecules adsorb on the surface of the solution and the PTFE-liquid interface simultaneously when the concentration is lower than the critical micelle concentration(cmc),and there was a linear relationship between surface tension and adhesion tension.The adsorption amount of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C at the PTFE-water interface was significantly lower than that on the surface of the solution.As the concentration increases above cmc,semi-micelle aggregates on the surface of PTFE are formed by C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C molecules through hydrophobic interaction,and the hydrophilic group faces the solution to modify the surface of PTFE with high efficiency.
文摘With the aim to effectively depolymerize polyethylene terephthalate(PET)under mild reaction conditions,PET methanolysis and dimethyl terephthalate(DMT)hydrolysis are integrated in a catalyst system.Firstly,methanolysis of PET to DMT is achieved over Cu-Mg-Al oxide catalyst.Next,terephthalic acid(TPA)is prepared by DMT hydrolysis.It is found that hydrolysis of DMT to TPA can be promoted by introducing trace amount of water in this catalyst system.CuO-MgO-4.5Al_2O_(3)catalyst demonstrates the excellent catalytic performance for the depolymerization of PET with high conversion rate and TPA yield(100%and 99.5%,respectively)after reaction at 160℃for 6 h,which provides a new idea for the depolymerization of PET.

文摘The electrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction(NOR)is a sustainable approach for converting N_(2)to NO_(3)^(-)under mild conditions.However,it still faces challenges including inefficient N_(2)absorption/activation and oxygen evolution competition,sluggish kinetics,low Faradaic efficiency,and limited nitrate yields.In this work,a novel two-dimensional(2D)layered MOF Mn-BCPPy(H_(2)BCPPy=3,5-di(4'-carboxyphenyl)pyridine)has been successfully synthesized.The framework is composed of a rod-manganese motifs and possesses abundant active sites including open metal sites(OMSs)and Lewis base sites(LBSs).The Mn-BCPPy is the first MOF catalyst applied in electrocatalytic NOR which NO_(3)^(-)exhibited relatively high activity with a yield of 99.75μg/(h·mg)and a Faraday efficiency(FE)of 32.09%.Furthermore,it can be used as fluorescent sensor for selectively and sensitively detect nitrofuran antibiotics(NFs).Therefore,this work explores the application of MOF materials in the field of electrocatalytic NOR,which reveals that manganese-based MOFs have great potential prospects.

文摘Mitigation effects of coenzyme Q10(CoQ10)on spiromesifen(SPM)-induced acute toxicity to zebrafish at different life stages,as well as abnormal development,especially impaired development of heart and notochord,oxidative stress and apoptosis in embryos were investigated using a semi-static method.Results showed that CoQ10 can remarkably reduce the acute toxicity of SPM to zebrafish embryos,larvae and adults by 3.20-,2.09-and 1.51-fold,respectively.CoQ10 can effectively alleviate the SPM-induced abnormal spontaneous movement,decreased heartbeat,delayed hatching,growth inhibition and various teratogenic effects of zebrafish embryos.At the stage of zebrafish embryo,CoQ10 significantly increases superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and expression levels of genes related to anti-oxidation(Cat&Cu/Zn-sod),anti-apoptosis(mcl1a&mcl1b),heart development(cmlc1,actc1a&erbb4a)and angiogenesis(vegfaa,vegfd&kdrl),which are inhibited by SPM.Additionally,CoQ10 reduces malondialdehyde(MDA)content and caspase-3 activity of embryos,as well as expression levels of pro-apoptosis(Cas3,Cas9,P53&bax)and notochord(tbxta&col2a)related genes raised by SPM.The results indicate that CoQ10 can mitigate the acute toxicity of SPM to zebrafish,and alleviate the abnormal development of heart and notochord of embryos by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis,as well as regulating the expression of related genes.

文摘Development of methodologies for fabrications of nanostructured materials that provide control over their microstructural features and compositions represents a fundamental step in the advancement of technologies for productions of materials with well-defined functional properties.Pulse electrolysis,a top-down electrochemical approach,has been demonstrated to be a viable method for producing nanostructured materials with a particular efficacy in the synthesis of tin oxides.This method allows for significant control over the composition and shape of the resulting tin oxides particles by modifying the anionic composition of the aqueous electrolyte,obviating the need for additional capping agents in the synthesis process and eliminating the requirement for high-temperature post-treatments.The composition and microstructural characteristics of these oxides are found to be contingent upon the differing stabilities of tin fluoride and chloride complexes,as well as the distinct mechanisms of interaction between chloride and fluoride anions with an oxidized tin surface,which is influenced by the varying kosmotropic/chaotropic nature of these anions.The composition and microstructural characteristics of the obtained dispersed tin oxides would thus determine their potential applications as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries,as a photocatalyst,or as an oxyphilic component of a hybrid support for a platinum-containing electrocatalyst.

文摘Solid oxide electrolysis cells(SOECs)can effectively convert CO_(2)into high value-added CO fuel.In this paper,Sc-doped Sr_(2)Fe_(1.5)Mo_(0.3)Sc_(0.2)O_(6−δ)(SFMSc)perovskite oxide material is synthesized via solid-phase method as the cathode for CO_(2)electrolysis by SOECs.XRD confirms that SFMSc exhibits a stable cubic phase crystal structure.The experimental results of TPD,TG,EPR,CO_(2)-TPD further demonstrate that Sc-doping increases the concentration of oxygen vacancy in the material and the chemical adsorption capacity of CO_(2)molecules.Electrochemical tests reveal that SFMSc single cell achieves a current density of 2.26 A/cm^(2) and a lower polarization impedance of 0.32Ω·cm^(2) at 800°C under the applied voltage of 1.8 V.And no significant performance attenuation or carbon deposition is observed after 80 h continuous long-term stability test.This study provides a favorable support for the development of SOEC cathode materials with good electro-catalytic performance and stability.

文摘This work investigates the transient performance and stability of CO_(2)/H_(2)O co-electrolysis in an air-free environment using a flat-tube solid oxide electrolysis cell(SOEC)stack.The results showed that the transient behavior of the stack with and without blowing gas into the air electrode is almost the same.With a current density of 0.67 A·cm^(-2)@750℃,the stack operated for over 200 h under co-electrolysis conditions without air blowing,and the voltage drop rate of the stack was approximately 0.203%/100 hours.Microstructure analysis revealed a significant loss of nickel particles and an apparent for-mation of an insulating phase strontium chromate(SrCrO4)on the surface of the current collection layer of the air electrode,which are identified as key factors contributing to the performance degradation of the stack.This study provides a reference for development of efficient fuel preparation technology based on SOEC stack in airless environments.
