The liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of p-xylene （PX） to TPA is regarded as a critical and efficient chemical process in industry [ 1 ]. PX oxidation reaction involves many complex side reactions, among which acetic acid combustion and PX combustion are the most important. As the target product of this oxidation process, the quality and yield of TPA are of great concern. However, the improvement of the qualified product yield can bring about the high energy consumption, which means that the economic objectives of this process cannot be achieved simulta- neously because the two objectives are in conflict with each other. In this paper, an improved self-adaptive multi-objective differential evolution algorithm was proposed to handle the multi-objective optimization prob- lems. The immune concept is introduced to the self-adaptive multi-objective differential evolution algorithm （SADE） to strengthen the local search ability and optimization accuracy. The proposed algorithm is successfully tested on several benchmark test problems, and the performance measures such as convergence and divergence metrics are calculated. Subsequently, the multi-objective optimization of an industrial PX oxidation process is carried out using the proposed immune self-adaptive multi-objective differential evolution algorithm （ISADE）. Optimization results indicate that application oflSADE can greatly improve the yield of TPA with low combustion loss without degenerating TA quality.展开更多

P-xylene(PX) is transformed to terephthalic acid(TA) through oxidation process and TA is refined to produce PTA. The PX oxidation reaction is a complex process involving three-phase reaction of gas, liquid and solid. To monitor the process and to improve the product quality, as well as to visualize the fault type clearly, a fault diagnosis method based on selforganizing map(SOM) and high dimensional feature extraction method, local tangent space alignment(LTSA),is proposed. In this method, LTSA can reduce the dimension and keep the topology information simultaneously,and SOM distinguishes various states on the output map. Monitoring results of PX oxidation reaction process indicate that the LTSA–SOM can well detect and visualize the fault type.展开更多

The results showed that the oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid was severely inhibited when carbon dioxide exceeded a certain amount, the conversion of p-xylene decreased rapidly from 100.0% to 3.3% and the yield of terephthalic acid dropped from 42.6% to trace. Whereas the oxidation processes of p-Tolualdchyde to p-Toluic acid and 4-Carboxybenzaldehyde to tcrcphthalic acid were improved when a relative small amount of CO2 v/as added, Further investigation found that this negative effect may be caused by multiphase reactions emerging.展开更多

This review presents an overview of the research progress on oxidation behavior of Co-based superalloys, including oxidation kinetics, oxides morphology, the formation and spallation of oxide layers, and importantly, the synergistic effects of alloying elements on oxidation resistance—a critical area considering the complex interactions with multiple alloying elements. Additionally, this review compares the oxidation resistance of single crystal versus polycrystalline alloys. The effect of phase interface and dislocations on oxidation behavior is also discussed. While significant progress has been achieved, areas necessitating further investigation include optimizing alloy compositions for enhanced oxidation resistance and understanding the long-term stability of oxide layers. The future prospects for Co-based superalloys are promising as ongoing research aims to address the existing challenges and unlock new applications at even higher operating temperatures.展开更多

文摘Fine-grained nuclear graphite is a key material in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors(HTGRs).During air ingress accidents,core graphite components undergo severe oxidation,threatening structural integrity.Therefore,understanding the oxidation behavior of nuclear graphite is essential for reactor safety.The influence of oxidation involves multiple factors,including temperature,sample size,oxidant,impurities,filler type and size,etc.The size of the filler particles plays a crucial role in this study.Five ultrafine-and superfine-grained nuclear graphite samples(5.9-34.4μm)are manufactured using identical raw materials and manufacturing processes.Isothermal oxidation tests conducted at 650℃-750℃ are used to study the oxidation behavior.Additionally,comprehensive characterization is performed to analyze the crystal structure,surface morphology,and nanoscale to microscale pore structure of the samples.Results indicate that oxidation behavior cannot be predicted solely based on filler grain size.Reactive site concentration,characterized by active surface area,dominates the chemical reaction kinetics,whereas pore tortuosity,quantified by the structural parameterΨ,plays a key role in regulating oxidant diffusion.These findings clarify the dual role of microstructure in oxidation mechanisms and establish a theoretical and experimental basis for the design of high-performance nuclear graphite capable of long-term service in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.

文摘In this work,we constructed a three-dimensional electrochemical system(3D-ECO),which included the cathode and anode electrode plates,as well as the screening of three-dimensional particle electrodes and parameter opti-mization,for the degradation of landfill leachate(LL)containing elevated levels of tetracycline(TC),and explored its mechanism of action.Firstly,titanium-based ruthenium-iridium(Ti/RuO_(2)-IrO_(2)),titanium-based ruthenium-iridium-platinum(Ti/Pt-RuO_(2)-IrO_(2)),and titanium-based tin-antimony(Ti/SnO_(2)-Sb_(2)O_(3))were employed as an-odes in the electrocatalytic oxidation system,with titanium and stainless steel plates serving as cathodes,to construct the optimal two-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation system(2D-ECO)through cross-comparison ex-periments.Subsequently,using granular activated carbon(GAC),coconut shell biochar(CBC),walnut shell carbon(WBC),and bamboo charcoal(BBC)as particle electrodes,a 3D-ECO system was developed.The influence of var-ious operational parameters on treating TC-containing LL was investigated.The optimal operating parameters obtained from the study was:pH=5,current density of 30 mA/cm^(2),particle dosage of 7 g/L,particle size ranging from 1.70 to 2.00 mm,and electrode spacing of 4 cm.Under these conditions,the COD removal rate of 3D-ECO within three hours was 90.25%,the TC removal rate was 72.41%,and the NH_(3)-N removal rate was 39.52%.The removal of TC followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model.Additionally,degradation mechanisms were elucidated through electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectrometer and Tert-Butanol(TBA)quenching experiments,indicating that the degradation primarily occurred through a non-radical(1O_(2))pathway.This re-search offers a comprehensive analysis of the simultaneous breakdown of intricate LL matrices and TC,enhancing our comprehension of the degradation processes and underlying mechanisms.

文摘TiB_(2)coatings can significantly enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of molybdenum,which would broaden the application range of molybdenum and alloys thereof.However,traditional methods for preparing TiB_(2)coatings have disadvantages such as high equipment costs,complicated processes,and highly toxic gas emissions.This paper proposes an environmentally friendly method,which requires inexpensive equipment and simple processing,for preparing TiB_(2)coating on molybdenum via electrophoretic deposition within Na3AlF6-based molten salts.The produced TiB_(2)layer had an approximate thickness of 60μm and exhibited high density,outstanding hardness(38.2 GPa)and robust adhesion strength(51 N).Additionally,high-temperature oxidation experiments revealed that,at900℃,the TiB_(2)coating provided effective protection to the molybdenum substrate against oxidation for 3 h.This result indicates that the TiB_(2)coating prepared on molybdenum using molten salt electrophoretic deposition possesses good high-temperature oxidation resistance.

文摘Investigating structural and hydroxyl group effects in electrooxidation of alcohols to value-added products by solid-acid electrocatalysts is essential for upgrading biomass alcohols.Herein,we report efficient electrocatalytic oxidations of saturated alcohols(C_(1)-C_(6))to selectively form formate using Ni Co hydroxide(Ni Co-OH)derived Ni Co_(2)O_(4)solid-acid electrocatalysts with balanced Lewis acid(LASs)and Brønsted acid sites(BASs).Thermal treatment transforms BASs-rich(89.6%)Ni Co-OH into Ni Co_(2)O_(4)with nearly equal distribution of LASs(53.1%)and BASs(46.9%)which synergistically promote adsorption and activation of OH-and alcohol molecules for enhanced oxidation activity.In contrast,BASs-enriched Ni Co-OH facilitates formation of higher valence metal sites,beneficial for water oxidation.The combined experimental studies and theoretical calculation imply the oxidation ability of C1-C6alcohols increases as increased number of hydroxyl groups and decreased HOMO-LUMO gaps:methanol(C_(1))<ethylene glycol(C_(2))<glycerol(C3)<meso-erythritol(C4)<xylitol(C5)<sorbitol(C6),while the formate selectivity shows the opposite trend from 100 to 80%.This study unveils synergistic roles of LASs and BASs,as well as hydroxyl group effect in electro-upgrading of alcohols using solid-acid electrocatalysts.
文摘The oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid with molecular oxygen in acetic acids modified carbon dioxide over Co/Mn/Br catalyst was studied in a batch reactor. The results showed that the oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid was severely inhibited when carbon dioxide exceeded a certain amount, the conversion of p-xylene decreased rapidly from 100.0% to 3.3% and the yield of terephthalic acid dropped from 42.6% to trace. Whereas the oxidation processes of p-Tolualdchyde to p-Toluic acid and 4-Carboxybenzaldehyde to tcrcphthalic acid were improved when a relative small amount of CO2 v/as added, Further investigation found that this negative effect may be caused by multiphase reactions emerging.

文摘The catalytic performance of a series of cobalt(Ⅱ) hydroxamates (CoL2) and the synergistic catalytic action of the cobalt complexes combined with N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in the aerobic oxidation of p-xylene to p-toluic acid (PTA) were investigated. The results showed that the existing synergistic action in the catalytic oxidation can shorten the induction period of the radical reaction and improve the yield of PTA.
文摘The selective oxidation of para-xylene(PX)to terephthalic acid(TPA)has received increasing attention due to the industrial applications of TPA.However,the oxidation of the C(sp^(3))‒H bond of PX is still a main challenge because of the higher bond dissociation energy.Herein,an efficient photocatalytic system for the oxidation of PX to TPA was developed by using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate(TBADT)photocatalyst using atmospheric oxygen as oxidant and 365 nm LED light irradiation.The resulting TPA product was easily separated from the post-reaction solution through simple filtration treatment with a 93.4%yield in CH3CN(37.5%1 mol L^(‒1) HCl)solvent after 19-h photocatalysis.Given the easy separation of TPA and the excellent recycling stability of TBADT,a continuous-flow photoreactor was successfully designed with promising prospect for potential industrial application.Mechanistic studies elucidated that the presence of HCl additive benefits the structural integrity of[W10O32]4−anions and the transition from excited states[W_(10)O_(32)]^(4‒*)to wO active species,leading to enhanced photooxidation performance.

文摘Up-and-coming high-temperature materials,refractory high entropy alloys,are suffering from lower oxidation resistance,restricting their applications in the aerospace field.In this study,two novel treatments of Al-deposited and remelted were developed to refine the microstructure and enhance the oxidation resistance of refractory high entropy alloy using electron beam freeform fabrication(EBF3).Finer and short-range ordering structures were observed in the remelted sample,whereas the Al-deposited sample showcased the formation of silicide and intermetallic phases.High-temperature cyclic and isothermal oxidation tests at 1000℃ were carried out.The total weight gain after 60 h of cyclic oxidation decreased by 17.49%and 30.46%for the remelted and deposited samples,respectively,compared to the as-cast state.Oxidation kinetics reveal an evident lower mass gain and oxidation rate in the treated samples.A multilayer oxide consisting of TiO_(2)+Al_(2)O_(3)+SiO_(2)+AlNbO_(4) was studied for its excellent oxidation resistance.The oxidation behavior of rutile,corundum and other oxides was analyzed using first principles calculations and chemical defect analysis.Overall,this research,which introduces novel treatments,offers promising insights for enhancing the inherent oxidation resistance of refractory high entropy alloys.
文摘Pitch produced by the lique-faction of coal was divided into two frac-tions:soluble in toluene(TS)and insol-uble in toluene but soluble in pyridine(TI-PS),and their differences in molecu-lar structure and oxidation activity were studied.Several different carbon materi-als were produced from them by oxida-tion in air(350℃,300 mL/min)fol-lowed by carbonization(1000℃ in Ar),and the effect of the cross-linked structure on their structure and sodium storage properties was investigated.The results showed that the two pitch fractions were obviously different after the air oxidation.The TS fraction with a low degree of condensation and abundant side chains had a stronger oxidation activity and thus introduced more cross-linked oxygen-containing functional groups C(O)―O which prevented carbon layer rearrangement during the carbonization.As a result,a disordered hard carbon with more defects was formed,which improved the electrochemical performance.Therefore,the carbon materials derived from TS(O-TS-1000)had an obvious disordered structure and a larger layer spacing,giving them better sodium storage perform-ance than those derived from the TI-PS fraction(O-TI-PS-1000).The specific capacity of O-TS-1000 was about 250 mAh/g at 20 mA/g,which was 1.67 times higher than that of O-TI-PS-1000(150 mAh/g).

文摘Co-based alloy coating was prepared on Zr alloy using laser melting and cladding technique to study the difference in the high-temperature oxidation behavior between pure metal Co coatings and Co-T800 alloy coatings,as well as the wear resistance of the coatings.Besides,the effect of changing the laser melting process on the coatings was also investigated.The oxidation mass gain at 800–1200℃and the high-temperature oxidation behavior during high-temperature treatment for 1 h of two coated Zr alloy samples were studied.Results show that the Co coating and the Co-T800 coating have better resistance against high-temperature oxidation.After oxidizing at 1000℃for 1 h,the thickness of the oxide layer of the uncoated sample was 241.0μm,whereas that of the sample with Co-based coating is only 11.8–35.5μm.The friction wear test shows that the depth of the abrasion mark of the coated sample is only 1/2 of that of the substrate,indicating that the hardness and wear resistance of the Zr substrate are greatly improved.The disadvantage of Co-based coatings is the inferior corrosion resistance in 3.5wt%NaCl solution.

文摘The novel Co-based superalloys are extensively used in gas-powered and jet engine turbines due to their excellent high-temperature performance, achieved by strengthening the L12-γ′ ordered phase. This review presents an overview of the research progress on oxidation behavior of Co-based superalloys, including oxidation kinetics, oxides morphology, the formation and spallation of oxide layers, and importantly, the synergistic effects of alloying elements on oxidation resistance—a critical area considering the complex interactions with multiple alloying elements. Additionally, this review compares the oxidation resistance of single crystal versus polycrystalline alloys. The effect of phase interface and dislocations on oxidation behavior is also discussed. While significant progress has been achieved, areas necessitating further investigation include optimizing alloy compositions for enhanced oxidation resistance and understanding the long-term stability of oxide layers. The future prospects for Co-based superalloys are promising as ongoing research aims to address the existing challenges and unlock new applications at even higher operating temperatures.

文摘Traumatic brain injury involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms,among which oxidative stress significantly contributes to the occurrence of secondary injury.In this study,we evaluated hypidone hydrochloride(YL-0919),a self-developed antidepressant with selective sigma-1 receptor agonist properties,and its associated mechanisms and targets in traumatic brain injury.Behavioral experiments to assess functional deficits were followed by assessment of neuronal damage through histological analyses and examination of blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema.Next,we investigated the antioxidative effects of YL-0919 by assessing the levels of traditional markers of oxidative stress in vivo in mice and in vitro in HT22 cells.Finally,the targeted action of YL-0919 was verified by employing a sigma-1 receptor antagonist(BD-1047).Our findings demonstrated that YL-0919 markedly improved deficits in motor function and spatial cognition on day 3 post traumatic brain injury,while also decreasing neuronal mortality and reversing blood-brain barrier disruption and brain edema.Furthermore,YL-0919 effectively combated oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro.The protective effects of YL-0919 were partially inhibited by BD-1047.These results indicated that YL-0919 relieved impairments in motor and spatial cognition by restraining oxidative stress,a neuroprotective effect that was partially reversed by the sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD-1047.YL-0919 may have potential as a new treatment for traumatic brain injury.

文摘Engineering nanomaterials at single-atomic sites could enable unprecedented catalytic properties for broad applications,yet it remains challenging to do so on the surface of multimetallic nanocrystals.Herein,we present the multifactorial engineering(size,shape,phase,and composition)of the fully ordered PtBi nanoplates at atomic level,achieving a unique catalyst surface where the face-centered cubic(fcc)Pt edges are modified by the isolated Pd atoms and BiO_(x)adatoms.This Pd_(1)/Pt-BiO_(x)electrocatalyst exhibits an ultrahigh mass activity of 16.01 A mg^(-1)Pt+Pd toward ethanol oxidation in alkaline electrolyte and enables a direct ethanol fuel cell of peak power density of 56.7 mW cm^(−2).The surrounding BiO_(x)adatoms are critical for mitigating CO-poisoning on the Pt surface,and the Pd_(1)/Pt single-atom alloy further facilitates the electrooxidation of CH_(3)CH_(2)OH.This work offers new insights into the rational design and construction of sophisticated catalyst surface at single-atomic sites for highly efficient electrocatalysis.
