X-ray diffraction, N2 isothermal sorption, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence were used to characterize the obtained cat-alysts. The photocatalytic H202 production ability of as-prepared catalyst was investigated. The results indicate that K+ and Na* are doped into g-CBN4 lattice simultaneously by the molten salt method. Alkali metal modification not only promotes the specific surface area, visible light absorption and separation of electron-hole pairs, but tunes the conduction band and valence band edge positions of as-prepared catalysts by controlling the weight ratio of eutectic salts to melamine. The tunable band edge positions result in the photocatalytic H202 production from "single channel pathway" to "two channel pathway", leading to the promoted H202 production ability.展开更多

The non-spherical particles were modeled using the three-dimensional super-quadric equation. The influence of wall rougheners on flow behavior of grains was studied for increasing particle blockiness. Moreover, for approximately cubic particles (squareness parameters [555]), the rotational speed, gravitational acceleration and particle size were altered to investigate the effect of wall rougheners under a range of operating conditions. For spherical and near-spherical particles (approximately up to the squareness parameters [344]), wall rougheners are necessary to prevent slippage of the bed against the cylinder wall. For highly cubic particle geometries (squareness parameters larger than [3441), wall rougheners resulted in a counter-intuitive decrease in the angle of repose of the bed. In addition, wall rougheners employed in this study were demonstrated to have a higher impact on bed dynamics at higher rotational speeds and lower gravitational accelerations. Nevertheless, using wall rougheners had a comparatively small influence on particle-flow characteristics for a bed composed of finer grains.展开更多
