Aeruginosa). This stimulation led to a significant reduction in the total concentration of NH_(4)^(+)‒N by more than 86%, and effective recovery of PO_(4)^(3-)‒P within three days from concentrated wastewater (WW), although the secreted EPS inhibited the conversion of MgCO_(3) to specific crystal forms (MgNH4PO4.6H2O or MgHPO4.7H2O). Moreover, with an increase in PO_(4)^(3-) concentration in WW, these crystals appeared, thus the removal of NH_(4)^(+)‒N and PO_(4)^(3-)‒P nutrients can be attributed to the combined effect of M. Aeruginosa and MgCO_(3). We used Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) combined with X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the mechanism for competitive interactions between M. Aeruginosa and MgCO_(3) in removing NH_(4)^(+)‒N and PO_(4)^(3-)‒P. We identified that the bound EPS accumulated amorphous Mg–P–O dense particles on M. Aeruginosa, while soluble EPS, containing –COOH groups of humic-like substances decreased the pH of the solution and coordinated with Mg^(2+) ions. Therefore, both secreted bound and soluble EPS play a vital role in hindering the transformation of Mg^(2+) ions or MgCO_(3) to MgNH4PO4.6H2O or MgHPO4.7H2O crystals within WW, and they enhanced M. Aeruginosa 's ability in absorbing nutrients of NH_(4)^(+)‒N and PO_(4)^(3-)‒P. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the efficient recovery of NH_(4)^(+)‒N and PO_(4)^(3-)‒P from concentrated wastewater sources such as aerobically or anaerobically digested effluent from various sources like agriculture, livestock, and domestic wastewaters.展开更多

Fourteen multi-cycle carbonation/regeneration tests of the sorbent were carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor and the sorbent was characterized by X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption. It is confirmed that TiO2 shows a positive effect on the adsorption process of Na2CO3 and the reaction rate is observed to increase significantly, especially in the first 10 min. Moreover, TiO2 is stable within the temperature range of the process and no other Ti-compounds are detected. The carbonation products are NaHCO3 and Na5H3 （CO3 ）4. The surface area and the pore volume of the sorbent keep stable after 14 cycles. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to analyze the effect mechanism of TiO2 on CO2 adsorption process of Na2CO3/Al2O3.展开更多

Effects of brazing temperature, holding time and additive Ti content on joints microstructure and shear strength were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and shear testing. Results indicate that TiCu and Ti（Cu,Al） decrease, but Ti2Cu and -Ti2（Cu,Al） increase in brazing seam with increasing brazing temperature, holding time and additive Ti content. Area consisting of Ti3（Cu,Al）30 and TiO near Al2O3 becomes gradually discontinuous from continuity when brazing temperature rises or holding time extends. As Ti additive content increases, TiO is absent near Al2O3, area consisting of only Ti3（Cu,Al）30 thickens. TiB whiskers are in situ synthesized by Ti and B atoms during brazing process. The brazing temperature, holding time and additive Ti content on joints microstructure influence the joints shear strength directly. The shear strength of joints, obtained at 850 ℃ holding for 10 min, reaches the maximum of 78 MPa. According to the experimental results, phase diagram and thermodynamics calculation, the interface evolution mechanism of the Al2O3/Ti-6Al-4V alloy joint was analyzed.展开更多

Reaction time has an important effect on the final morphology of the product. The micro-structure and morphology of Mg5 （CO3）4 （OH）2·4H2O were characterized by means of X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, fieldemission scanning electron microscopy（FE-SEM）. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller（BET） surface areas of the samples were also measured. The probable formation mechanism of flower-like micro-structure was discussed. It was found that Mg5 （CO3）4（ OH）2·4H2O with flower-like micro-structure was a novel and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of diphenyl carbonate （DPC） by transesterification of dimethyl carbonate （DMC） with phenol.展开更多
