Theresults show that a higher initial ammonium concentration in a certain range can enhance the mass transfer process. pH of leachingagent in the range of 2 to 8 almost has no effect on the mass transfer efficiency of RE, but plays a positive role in the mass transferefficiency of Al under strong acidic condition （pH〈4）. There is an optimum flow rate that makes the highest mass transfer efficiency.The optimum leaching condition of RE is the leaching agent pH of 4？8, ammonium concentration of 0.4 mol/L and flow rate of0.5 mL/min. The mass transfer efficiencies of RE and Al both follow the order： （NH4）2SO4〈NH4Cl〈NH4NO3, implying thecomplexing ability of anion.展开更多

文摘The flotation separation of argentite from sphalerite using ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate(ADD)was studied.Molecular simulation(MS)calculation shows that ADD is chemisorbed on argentite and sphalerite surface in the form of S—P bond.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in Ag^(+)system was revealed by ICP,Zeta potential and XPS analyses.It is shown that the dissolved Ag^(+)from argentite surface can be absorbed on sphalerite surface in the form of silver hydroxide,and AgOH hydrophilic colloid prevents the adsorption of ADD on sphalerite surface.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions was revealed by adsorption capacity and surface wettability analyses.It is shown that the combined Zn(OH)_(2) and AgOH hydrophilic colloid leads to greater ADD adsorption capacity on argentite surface and stronger surface hydrophobicity than sphalerite.Flotation tests demonstrate that ADD enables efficient separation of argentite from sphalerite in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions.

文摘The thermal decomposition characteristic of ammonium perchlorate(AP)represents a critical factor in determining the performance of solid propellants,which has aroused significant interest on the structure and performance improvement of kinds of catalysts.In this study,bimetallic metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),such as CuCo-BTC(BTC=1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid,H_(3)BTC),CuNi-BTC,and CoNi-BTC,were synthesized by solvothermal(ST)and spray-drying(SD)methods,and then calcined at 400℃for 2 h to form metal oxides.The catalysts as well as their catalytic effects for AP decomposition were characterized by FTIR,XRD,SEM,XPS,TG,DSC,TG-IR,EIS,CV,and LSV.It was found that the rapid coordination of metal ions with ligands during spray drying may lead to catalytic structural defects,promoting the exposure of reactive active sites and increasing the catalytic active region.The results showed that the addition of 2 wt%binary transition metal oxides(BTMOs)as catalysts significantly reduced the high-temperature decomposition(HTD)temperature of AP and enhanced its heat release.Of particular significance is the observation that SD-CoNiO_(x),prepared by spray-drying,reduced the decomposition temperature of AP from 413.26℃(pure AP)to 306℃and enhanced the heat release from 256.79 J/g(pure AP)to 1496.82 J/g,while concomitantly reducing the activation energy by 42%.By analysing the gaseous products during the decomposition of AP+SD-CoNiO_(x)and AP+ST-CoNiO_(x),it was found that SD-CoNiO_(x)could significantly increase the content of high-valent nitrogen oxides during the AP decomposition reaction,which indicates that the BTMOs prepared by spray-drying in the reaction system are more conducive to accelerating the electron transfer in the thermal decomposition process of AP,and can provide a high concentration of reactive oxygen species that oxidize AP to high-valent nitrogen oxide-containing compounds.The present study shows that the structure selectivity of the spray-drying technique influences surfactant molecular arrangement on catalyst surfaces,resulting in their ability to promote higher electron transfer during the catalytic process.Therefore,BTMOs prepared by spray drying method have higher potential for application.

文摘Layered ammonium vanadate has become a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries(ZIBs)due to its small mass and large ionic radius of ammonium ions as well as the consequent large layer spacing and high specific capacity.However,the irreversible de-ammoniation caused by N·H···O bonds damaged would impair cycle life of ZIBs and the strong electrostatic interaction between Zn^(2+)and V-O frame could slower the mobility of Zn^(2+).Furthermore,the thermal instability of ammonium vanadate also limits the use of common carbon coating modification method to solve the problem.Herein,V_(2)CT_(X)MXene was innovatively selected as a bifunctional source to in-situ derivatized(NH_(4))_(2)V_(8)O_(20)·x H_(2)O with amorphous carbon-coated(NHVO@C)via one-step hydrothermal method in relatively moderate temperature.The amorphous carbon shell derived from the V_(2)CT_(X)MXene as a conductive framework to effectively improve the diffusion kinetics of Zn^(2+)and the robust carbon skeleton could alleviate the ammonium dissolution during long-term cycling.As a result,zinc ion batteries using NHVO@C as cathode exhibit superior electrochemical performance.Moreover,the assembled foldable or high loading(10.2 mg/cm^(2))soft-packed ZIBs further demonstrates its practical application.This study provided new insights into the development of the carbon cladding process for thermally unstable materials in moderate temperatures.
文摘The present work aims to stabilize the room temperature allotropic transition of ammonium nitrate(AN)particles utilizing a microencapsulation technique,which involves solvent/non-solvent in which nitrocellulose(NC)has been employed as a coating agent.The SEM micrographs revealed distinct features of both pure AN and NC,contrasting with the irregular granular surface topography of the coated AN particles,demonstrating the adherence of NC on the AN surface.Structural analysis via infrared spectroscopy(IR)demonstrated a successful association of AN and NC,with slight shifts observed in IR bands indicating interfacial interactions.Powder X-ray Diffraction(PXRD)analysis further elucidated the structural changes induced by the coating process,revealing that the NC coating altered the crystallization pattern of its pure form.Thermal analysis demonstrates distinct profiles for pure and coated AN,for which the coated sample exhibits a temperature increase and an enthalpy decrease of the room temperature allotropic transition by 6℃,and 36%,respectively.Furthermore,the presence of NC coating alters the intermolecular forces within the composite system,leading to a reduction in melting enthalpy of coated AN by~39%compared to pure AN.The thermal decomposition analysis shows a two-step thermolysis process for coated AN,with a significant increase in the released heat by about 78%accompanied by an increase in the activation barrier of NC and AN thermolysis,demonstrating a stabilized reactivity of the AN-NC particles.These findings highlight the synergistic effect of NC coating on AN particles,which contributed to a structural and reactive stabilization of both AN and NC,proving the potential application of NC-coated AN as a strategically advantageous oxidizer in composite solid propellant formulations.
文摘A series of multi-hydroxyl bis-(quaternary ammonium)ionic liquids(Ils1‒7)was prepared as bifunctional catalysts for the chemical fixation of CO_(2).All these ionic liquid compounds were efficient for the catalytic synthesis of cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones via the cycloaddition reactions between CO_(2) and epoxides or aziridines with excellent yield and high selectivity in the absence of co-catalyst,metal and solvent.Due to the synergistic effects of hydroxyl groups and halogen anion,the cycloaddition reactions proceeded smoothly either at atmospheric pressure or room temperature.The selectivity for substituted oxazolidinones at 5-and 4-positions can be tuned via changing the reaction conditions.Finally,possible mechanisms including the activation of both CO_(2) and epoxide or aziridines were proposed based on the literatures and experimental results.

文摘This study investigates the compatibility and efficacy of combining ammonium molybdate(AM)with antagonistic bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B10W10 and Pseudomonas sp.B11W11 for brown rot control(Monilinia laxa).In vitro experiments reveal variable mycelial growth inhibition rates compared to untreated controls,with B11W11+0.5%AM and B10W10+2%AM displaying the highest inhibition rates after 5 days.After 10 days,the 2%AM+B10W10 combination exhibits the highest inhibition rate.Microscopic observations show structural alterations in mycelium within inhibition zones,marked by vacuolization.The antagonistic bacteria,alone or with different ammonium molybdate concentrations,significantly impact M.laxa spore germination,with the B10W10 cell filtrate+2%ammonium molybdate combination achieving the most substantial inhibition.Conversely,the 0.5%ammonium molybdate treatment has the lowest inhibition rate while the combination of AM and bacteria is giving better results compared to the use of bacteria alone.Fruits treated with various antagonistic bacteria and ammonium molybdate combinations demonstrate a significant reduction in disease severity.The 0.5%AM+B10W10 combination exhibits the lowest severity.FT-IR spectra analysis identifies shifts in fungal biomass functional groups,with reduced lignin-related bands and increased phenols,lipids,polysaccharides,and carbohydrates.This highlights the structural modifications caused by the biological treatments.The study also evaluates the effects on fruit quality parameters.The 2%ammonium molybdate treatment yields the lowest weight loss.TSS levels are affected by salt concentration,while acid content remains consistent across treatments.All treatments influence fruit firmness compared to controls.These findings emphasize the potential of combining ammonium molybdate and antagonistic bacteria for effective brown rot control,highlighting their compatibility and effects on disease severity,fungal biomass,spore germination,and fruit quality.

文摘Modified activated carbons(AS)were fabricated through the oxidation effect of ammonium persulfate and applied to the dynamic adsorption of different acrylate gas.The pore structures,surface chemical properties and surface morphology of AS were respectively characterized by N2 adsorption,Boehm titration,X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)techniques.After modification,the specific surface area increased from 954 to 1154 m^(2)·g^(-1).The contents of oxygen-containing functional groups on the AS surface increase obviously and have a great effect on the adsorption behavior of acrylate gases.According to the results of dynamic adsorption,the adsorption capacities of acrylates are as the following order:methyl acrylate(461.9 mg·g^(-1))>methyl methacrylate(436.9 mg·g^(-1))>butyl acrylate(381.8 mg·g^(-1)),which is attributed to the size adaptability of AS pores and acrylates.The adsorption behavior of AS for acrylate gases conforms to the Bangham model and the Temkin model.

文摘Lepidolite,feldspar,and quartz are silicate minerals with similar chemical properties,complicating their flotation separation.Current collector systems require strong acidic conditions for effective separation but still face challenges related to low separation efficiency and recovery rates.This study proposed a novel collector,ammonium dodecylsulfate(ALS),to selectively extract lepidolite from feldspar and quartz using highly selective flotation methods.Microflotation experiments showed that ALS significantly outperforms other collectors in collecting lepidolite compared to feldspar and quartz.At pH 7,lepidolite recovery reached 95%,while flotation recoveries for both feldspar and quartz were below 10%.Mixed pure mineral flotation tests revealed that at pH 7 and ALS concentration of 2.5×10^(-4) mol·L^(−1),the Li_(2)O content in the concentrate was 4.21%,with a recovery rate of 95.01%.Separation efficiency and Gaudin selectivity index values were recorded.Solution chemical analyses showed that at pH 7,ALS completely ionizes into NH_(4)^(+)and CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(11)OSO_(3)^(−).Various analytical techniques,including high-speed photography imaging,contact angle measurements,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,zeta potential analysis,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,confirmed that the anion CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(11)OSO_(3)^(−)adsorbs chemically onto aluminum sites on lepidolite's surface,while the cation NH_(4)+binds through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.The combined adsorption of these ions on lepidolite's surface enhanced its hydrophobicity.In contrast,ALS showed minimal adsorption on feldspar and quartz surfaces,which remained hydrophilic,enabling efficient selective flotation separation of lepidolite from both feldspar and quartz.

文摘Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to iron(III)reduction(Feammox)process has recently been recognized as an important pathway for removing ammonium in various natural habitats.However,our understanding for Feammox in river–estuary continuum is limited.In this study,stable isotope tracers and high-throughput amplicon sequencing were employed to determine Feammox rates and identify associated microbial communities in sediments along the Yangtze river–estuary continuum.Feammox rates averaged 0.0058±0.0069 mg N/(kg·d)and accounted for approximately 22.3%of the ammonium removed from the sediments.Sediment Fe(III),ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)),total organic carbon(TOC),and pH were identified as important factors influencing Feammox rates.Additionally,Spirochaeta,Caldilineaceae_uncultured,and Ignavibacterium were found potentially associated with Feammox,which had not been documented as Feammox-associated microbial taxa previously.This study demonstrates that Feammox plays a vital role in ammonium removal within the Yangtze river–estuary continuum,providing greater insight into nitrogen removal and cycling in aquatic ecosystems.

文摘The purity of electronic-grade chemicals significantly impacts electronic components.Although crystallization has been used to purify cerium ammonium nitrate(CAN),the impurity removal mechanism underlying different crystallization parameters remains unclear.Traditional analytical methods of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)have problems in detecting trace Fe accurately,because of the high concentration of Ce and interference of polyatomic ions.Therefore,this study developed a new method integrating the standard addition and internal standard methods and explored the role of the kinetic energy discrimination mode.This new approach effectively overcomes Ce-related matrix interference and fills the gap in ultra-trace impurity detection.Furthermore,the study investigated the effects of cooling rate,seed mass loading and seed size on the removal of Fe impurity.The seed mass loading affects the average crystal size through regulating secondary nucleation and crystal growth.The removal of Fe in CAN is determined by surface adsorption and agglomeration.Under the condition of the cooling rate of 0.2 K·min^(-1),and addition of 0.5%(mass)600-680 μm seeds,the Fe content is the lowest,at only 0.24 mg·L^(-1),and the Fe removal rate reaches 92.28%.

文摘Aqueous-phase reactions between carbonyls and reduced nitrogen compounds play a considerable role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols and brown carbon in the atmosphere.However,the reported reaction rate constants for these reactions have largely been limited to bulk aqueous-phase simulations,which may not accurately represent the real state of atmospheric cloud droplets.We employed an integration of optical tweezers and Raman spectroscopy to manipulate and analyze simulated cloud droplets(size range8000-10,000 nm),comprising a mixture of glyoxal and ammonium sulfate.This approach enabled us to delve into the intricate realm of their reaction kinetics at individual droplet level mimicking cloud droplets.Raman spectroscopy provided high temporal resolution(20 s)measurements of the changes in the amount of nitrogen-containing organics(or NOCs as represented by the C-N bond)within the droplets.The results indicate that the reaction follows first-order kinetics throughout the monitoring over 80-400 min.The average reaction rate constant for the formation of NOCs within the single droplet was determined to be(6.77±0.98)×10^(-5)s^(-1),up to three orders of magnitude higher than those through the bulk aqueous-phase simulations,especially at lower p H levels.Additionally,the reaction rate constant in single droplet increases with increasing p H,consistent with the trend previously reported for the bulk aqueous-phase simulations.The results highlight the difference of the reaction rate constant between bulk aqueous-phase and droplets,which would improve our understanding on the formation and impacts of secondary organic aerosols and brown carbon in atmospheric aqueous phase.

文摘Ammonium level in body fluids serves as one of the critical biomarkers for healthcare,especially those relative to liver diseases.The continuous and real-time monitoring in both invasive and noninvasive manners is highly desired,while the ammonium concentrations vary largely in different body fluids.Besides,the sensing reliability based on ion-selective biosensors can be significantly interfered by potassium ions.To tackle these challenges,a flexible and biocompatible sensing patch for wireless ammonium level sensing was reported with an ultrawide linear range for universal body fluids including blood,tears,saliva,sweat and urine.The as-prepared biocompatible sensors deliver a reliable sensitivity of 58.7 mV decade-1 in the range of 1-100 mM and a desirable selectivity coefficient of 0.11 in the interference of potassium ions,attributed to the cross-calibration within the sensors array.The sensor’s biocompatibility was validated by the cell growth on the sensor surface(>80%),hemolysis rates(<5%),negligible cellular inflammatory responses and weight changes of the mice with implanted sensors.Such biocompatible sensors with ultrawide linear range and desirable selectivity open up new possibility of highly compatible biomarker analysis via different body fluids in versatile approaches.

文摘The organic pollutants,such as quaternary ammonium compounds,in high salinity flowback water from shale gas extraction may pose a severe risk to public health.Conventional biological technologies have limited effectiveness in the treatment of high-salt wastewaters,whereas electrocatalytic oxidation has shown potential for treating organic pollutants in high-salt flowback water.This study developed a carbon nanotubes(CNTs)doped Ru/Ir oxide coated Ti electrode CNTs-(Ru_(x)Ir_(y)O_(2))/Ti,which exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic performance for the treatment of quaternary ammonium compound in high-salt wastewater compared to the control metal oxide coated Ti anode(Ru_(x)Ir_(y)O_(2))/Ti,with pseudofirst-order reaction rate constant improved from 7.36×10^(-3) to 1.12×10^(-2) min−1.Moreover,the CNTs-(Ru_(x)Ir_(y)O_(2))/Ti anode electrocatalytic oxidation system exhibited excellent cycling stability.Mechanism studies indicated that the CNTs-(Ru_(x)Ir_(y)O_(2))/Ti electrode enhanced singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))generation,which played a major role in pollutant degradation.Furthermore,the formation of high concentrations of HClO and H_(2)O_(2) further facilitated the generation of ^(1)O_(2).This study may provide an efficient and green technology for the treatment of organic pollutants in high-salt shale gas flowback water.

文摘To explore high-performance cathode materials for aqueous ammonium ion batteries(AAIBs),vanadium-based Prussian blue analogue composites(VFe-PBAs)were prepared by hydrothermal coprecipitation method to enhance the reversible storage of NH_(4)^(+).Benefiting from the stable three-dimensional structure and spacious gap position,VFe-PBAs-2 cathode displays excellent electrochemical activity and rate performance,achieving a high specific capacity of 84.3 mA·h/g at a current density of 1000 mA/g.In addition,VFe-PBAs-2 cathode also shows impressive long-term cycle durability with 85.2% capacity retention after 3×10^(4) cycles at 5000 mA/g.The synthesized cathode materials combined with the high electrochemical activity of vanadium ions significantly promote the rapid transfer of NH_(4)^(+).Furthermore,NH_(4)^(+)embedding/extraction mechanism of VFe-PBAs-2 cathode was revealed by electrochemical kinetics tests and advanced ex-situ characterizations.The experimental results demonstrate that vanadium-modified VFe-PBAs-2 as a cathode material can remarkably improve the capacity,electrochemical activity and cycling stability of AAIBs to achieve high performance NH_(4)^(+)storage.

文摘To gain insight into the fine interfacial control mechanism exhibited by oxidant-coated Al powder to improve combustion performance,we prepared Al/AP and Al@AP composite fuels using ball milling and spray-drying technology.The thermal reaction characteristics,AP decomposition behavior,and decomposition reaction pathways of Al/AP and Al@AP composite fuels were investigated using thermal analysis and Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics(AIMD)calculations.Under the influence of fine interfacial control,the low-temperature decomposition heat release peak of AP was delayed by 25.5℃,while the high-temperature decomposition peak was advanced by 36.2℃,leading to an increase in the decomposition heat release of AP from 410.7 J/g to 1068.7 J/g.Compared to the unclad structure,the apparent activation energy of AP in low-temperature decomposition increased,and slightly decreased during high-temperature decomposition in the Al@AP composite fuel.The physical model of AP decomposition shifted to the model with higher degrees of freedom and a faster diffusion rate,characterized by rapid bidirectional diffusion at the interface.Furthermore,due to fine interfacial control,the oxidation reaction pathway of Al has been altered,changing from the final products of AP decomposition(O_(2),Cl2,etc.)to the direct oxidation of AP decomposition intermediates(HClO,ClO_(2),etc.).This accelerated and strengthened the oxidation reaction process of Al.As a result of these performance improvements,the final combustion temperature of Al@AP in the Microcanonical Ensemble(NVE)system stabilized at 2370 K,which is significantly higher than 1400 K observed for Al/AP,indicating enhanced ignition and combustion performance.

文摘A biodegradable and green organic compound octadecyl dimethyl benzyl amm-onium chloride(ODBAC)was used as an efficient inhibitor for cold rolled steel(CRS)in phosphoric acid(H_(3)PO_(4)).The mechanism of adsorption and film formation of ODBAC on CRS was studied through experimental and theoretical calculations.The weight loss method shows that the inhibition efficiency of ODBAC can reach 92.01%at a concentration of 10 mg·L^(-1).The adsorption of ODBAC on the CRS surface conforms to the Langmuir isotherm model,which is a mixed adsorption mainly based on physical adsorption.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and contact angle results confirmed the existence of the ODBAC film and steel surface's hydrophobicity has been significantly enhanced.Electrochemical test results reveal that the film's formation mainly inhibits the cathodic corrosion reaction and effectively increases the charge transfer resistance.Quantum chemical calculations have found that N18 in ODBAC and C24 and C25 on the benzene ring are the key active adsorption sites.Molecular dynamics simulation results indicate that ODBAC can sharply reduce the free fraction volume to 8%and inhibit the diffusion of corrosion particles,meaning that the formed ODBAC film makes it difficult for corrosion particles to penetrate,thus improving the corrosion resistance of CRS in H_(3)PO_(4).

文摘Inverted perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have stood out in recent years for their great potential in offering low-temperature compatibility,long-term stability and tandem cell suitability.However,challenges persist,particularly concerning the use of nickel oxide nanoparticles(NiO_(x)NPs)as the hole transport material,where issues such as low conductivity,impurity-induced aggregation and interface redox reactions significantly hinder device performance.In response,this study presents a novel synthesis method for NiO_(x)NPs,leveraging the introduction of ammonium salt dopants(NH_(4)Cl and NH_(4)SCN),and the solar cell utilizing the doped NiO_(x)substrate exhibits much enhanced device performance.Furthermore,doped solar cells reach 23.27%power conversion efficiency(PCE)when a self-assembled monolayer(SAM)is further employed.This study provides critical insights into the synthesis and growth pathways of NiO_(x)NPs,propelling the development of efficient hole transport materials for high-performance PSCs.
文摘Ammonium phosphate fertilizer is the compounds containing nitrogen and phosphorus that are usually produced through the neutralization reaction of phosphoric acid and ammonia.At present,there are a variety of products,such as slurry monoammonium phosphate(MAP),diammonium phosphate(DAP),industrial grade MAP,water soluble MAP,water soluble ammonium polyphosphate(APP)and so on.After more than 60 years of development,China’s ammonium phosphate fertilizer industry has experienced the road of from scratch and from weak to strong.The successful development of the slurry MAP technology ended the history that the high concentration phosphate fertilizer cannot be produced by using the medium and low grade phosphate ore.The continuous,stable and large-scale production of DAP plant provides sufficient guarantee for DAP products in China.The development of new ammonium phosphate fertilizer products,such as industrial grade MAP,water soluble MAP,water soluble APP,provides technical support for the transformation and upgrading of phosphorus chemical enterprises.In this paper,the production methods,the development history and the latest research progress of ammonium phosphate fertilizers were reviewed.

文摘In order to better understand the leaching process of rare earth （RE） and aluminum （Al） from the weathered crust elutiondepositedRE ore, the mass transfer of RE and Al in column leaching was investigated using the chromatographic plate theory. Theresults show that a higher initial ammonium concentration in a certain range can enhance the mass transfer process. pH of leachingagent in the range of 2 to 8 almost has no effect on the mass transfer efficiency of RE, but plays a positive role in the mass transferefficiency of Al under strong acidic condition （pH〈4）. There is an optimum flow rate that makes the highest mass transfer efficiency.The optimum leaching condition of RE is the leaching agent pH of 4？8, ammonium concentration of 0.4 mol/L and flow rate of0.5 mL/min. The mass transfer efficiencies of RE and Al both follow the order： （NH4）2SO4〈NH4Cl〈NH4NO3, implying thecomplexing ability of anion.
