In this paper, High-Viscosity Oil Refining wastewater from Liaohe Petrochemical Corporation was the treatment object. Overall, the in-fluencing factors and synthesis technology conditions of PSPFS were determined by experiments. First of all, the conditions of influencing factors were showed as follows: the mass percent concentration of ferrous sulfate 55%,concentration of sodium silicate 15% , the molar ratio of ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide 1.2:1, oxidation temperature 40 degree Celsius, oxidation time 4 hours, polymerization temperature 60 de-gree Celsius and polymerization time 2 hours.

The geopolymeric structures of the products were investigated by 27Al and 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonances with magic-angle spinning (MAS NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The reaction of the Al-O sheet in meakaolinite with low-order polymerized Si-O tetrahedral units such as monomer of SiO4 yields three-dimensional structures with the Q3 Si-O tetrahedral structure and the coordination of Al(IV) in the Al-O tetrahedral structure. The geopolymers are essentially X-ray amorphous. The assays by 27Al and 29Si NMR, FTIR confirm that the active structure in the metakaolinite is the sheet of Al-O with three coordination states.展开更多

The preparation is possible： （1） by using a short-term heating of the concrete mix （to 80 ℃）; or （2） by allowing the mix to harden spontaneously at a temperature of 20 ℃. The concretes prepared by short-time heating attain high strength values after their preparation; the values are comparable to those characterizing concretes obtained on the basis of Portland cement. The strength development of concretes hardening at 20 ℃ is substantially less steep but, nevertheless, the strength attained after about 60 days is practically identical with that of the concretes exposed to a short-time heating. The shrinkage of concretes prepared by short-time heating is very small as compared with the concretes allowed to harden spontaneously; the shrinkage of latter concretes is larger than that of the concretes on the basis of Portland cement. The concretes on the basis of alumosilicate polymer exhibit much better resistance to the corrosive action of the environment as compared with those prepared on the basis of Portland cement.展开更多

The sorbent showed good chemical and thermal stability. Kinetics studies indicated that the equilibrium adsorption was achieved within 10 min and the adsorption kinetics fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the ion-imprinted polymer towards Ni（Ⅱ） at the optimal p H of 7.0 was 66.22 mg·g^（-1）. The relative selectivity coefficients of the sorbent were 9.23, 15.71, 14.72 and 20.15 for Ni（Ⅱ）/Co（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）/Cu（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）/Zn（Ⅱ） and Ni（Ⅱ）/Pb（Ⅱ）, respectively. The adsorption isotherm fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamic results indicated that the adsorption of Ni（Ⅱ） was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The sorbent showed good reusability evidenced by six cycles of adsorption/desorption experiments. The precision of this method is satisfactory. Thus, the prepared sorbent can be considered as a promising sorbent for selective separation of Ni（Ⅱ） in real water samples.展开更多

At last, the optimal experimental condition was determined as follows: the dosing quantity 200mg/L, pH value 5.5~9, temperature 25~45℃, stirring time 2 min, and standing time 3 min, according to the result of floc-culation experiments with PSPFS. Besides, the result of the comparative experiments showed that the effi-ciency of PSPFS was much better than the reference flocculants.

文摘Silicon(Si)is considered one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its ultrahigh theoretical capacity.However,its application is significantly limited by severe volume expansion,leading to structural degradation and poor cycling stability.Polymer binders play a critical role in addressing these issues by providing mechanical stabilization.Inspired by the mechanically adaptive architecture of spider webs,where stiff radial threads and extensible spiral threads act in synergy,a dual-thread architecture polymer binder(PALT)with energy dissipation ability enabled by integrating rigid and flexible domains is designed.The rigid poly(acrylic acid lithium)(PAALi)segments offer structural reinforcement,while the soft segments(poly(lipoic acid-tannic acid),LT)introduce dynamic covalent bonds and multiple hydrogen bonds that function as reversible sacrificial bonds,enhancing energy dissipation during cycling.Comprehensive experimental and computational analyses demonstrate effectively reduced stress concentration,improved structural integrity,and stable electrochemical performance over prolonged cycling.The silicon anode incorporating the PALT binder exhibits a satisfying capacity loss per cycle of 0.042% during 350 charge/discharge cycles at 3580 m A g^(-1).This work highlights a bioinspired binder design strategy that combines intrinsic rigidity with dynamic stress adaptability to advance the mechanical and electrochemical stability of silicon anodes.

文摘Flotation tailings were successfully flocculated in the presence of cationic polyacrylamide and silica gel.The effects of various parameters such as polymer weight,charge density,and pH on the rate of flocculation were also investigated in the current study.The flocculation mechanism of the flocculant on tailings was investigated using zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)measurements.The results obtained reveal that 1)sodium silicate gel,used as a binder for the consolidation of tailings form primary flocs,acts as an anchor and the adsorption of polymer flocculant on these anchors results in the formation of larger flocs and,consequently,enhanced settling rate;2)flocculation in the presence of silica gel and polymer has a faster settling rate than single-polymer flocculation owing to the mechanisms of charge neutralization and bridging as identified using zeta potential and FTIR measurements.A pilot level study was conducted to investigate the influence of processed water on the flotation of scheelite.The results show that the proposed tailing disposal method could improve scheelite recovery by 2%(approximately)and could reduce the daily operation costs of the plant by approximately 108.57 USD.

文摘Power cables are important pieces of equipment for energy transmission,but achieving a good balance between flame retardancy and mechanical properties of cable sheaths remains a challenge.In this work,a novel intumescent flame retardant(IFR)system containing silicone-containing macromolecular charring agent(Si-MCA)and ammonium polyphosphate(APP)was designed to synergistically improve the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer(EBA)composites.The optimal mass ratio of APP/Si-MCA was 3/1 in EBA composites(EBA/APP-Si-31),corresponding to the best flame retardancy with 31.2% of limited oxygen index(LOI),V-0 rating in UL-94 vertical burning test,and 76.4%reduction on the peak of heat release rate(PHRR)in cone calorimeter test.The enhancement mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effect of APP/Si-MCA during combustion,including the radical-trapping effect,the dilution effect of non-flammable gases,and the barrier effect of the intumescent char layer.Meanwhile,the tensile results indicated that EBA/APP-Si-31 also exhibited good mechanical properties with the addition of maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene(PE-g-MA)as the compatibilizer.Thus,the APP/Si-MCA combination is an effective IFRs system for preparing high-performance EBA composites,and it will promote their applications as cable sheath materials.

文摘Smart low-solid drilling fluids(SLSDFs)with thermo-controllable rheological properties and attractive thickening characteristics have recently captivated profound attention due to their low formation damage and enhanced cuttings lifting capacity.However,their applications to deep hole drilling at high temperatures have remained limited because of the thermal instability and environmental constraints of the thermo-associating polymers as additives.This work explored the synergistic benefits of thermo-associating polymer and biogenic nano-silica(B-SiNP)extracted from rice husk to improve the thermo-stability of SLSDF.This study shows that the nano-hybrid,TAP-S based on vinyl-terminated B-SiNP could potentially mitigate the limiting performance of conventional LSDF(F-2)caused by the failure of thermo-associating copolymers under elevated temperatures.TAP-S bearing drilling fluid(F-3)could preserve more than 5.6-fold of its initial properties(ca.apparent viscosity,plastic viscosity,yield point,and gel strength)with a nearly flat-gel profile in the temperature range of 25-230℃,which was higher than those of the counterpart F-2 and base fluid according to the results of rheological tests analysis.In addition,TAP-S exhibited an abrupt thermo-thickening characteristic with a magnitude declining by only 1.05-fold and the activation Gibbs free energy of 1339 kJ/mol above the plateau(ca.130℃),reflecting its less sensitivity compared to F-2 under a continuous heating process.As a result,a lower temperature was required to drive the dehydration of the residual fraction of lower critical solution temperature(LCST)in nano-hybrid structures than TAP according to the results of DSC analysis.Thus,lower energy was expected to disintegrate the residual hydrogen bonds formed between the LCST chains and surrounding water molecules at elevated temperatures.Moreover,TAP-S formed a solid-micro-crosslinking structure network which exhibited a more stable hydrodynamic diameter as revealed by DLS analysis.Compared with TAP,TAP-S consisted of a larger composite B-SiNP-TAP integrated spatial network structure based on the results of environmental scanning electron microscope,which conferred a degree of thermal conductivity characteristic for improved temperature resistance.This contributed to the effective binding onto bentonite particles for protection and maintained a relatively stable bentonite particle dispersion according to the results of EPM and particle size distribution analyses.Consequently,TAP-S fortified drilling fluid demonstrates improved rheological and filtration performance under severe downhole conditions.Therefore,TAP-S,the thermo-associating copolymer integrated with B-SiNP could find potential application as an eco-friendly viscosifier in LSDFs for deep-well drilling operations.

文摘To enhance mechanical properties and improve flame retardancy and smoke suppression of fast-growing poplar wood in wood applications,the wood was impregnated and modified.An organic phenolic prepolymer and inorganic sodium silicate was used as contrasting impregnation modifiers and wood samples were impregnated by a bionic“respiration”method with alternating positive and negative pressure.The weight percentage gain,density increase ratio,mechanical properties(bending and compressive strength and hardness),and water absorption rate of inorganic and organic-impregnated modified poplar wood(IIMPW and OIMPW,respectively)were compared and these properties in IIMPW were found to be higher than those of OIMPW with the exception of the water absorption rate which was lower than the OIMPW.This was attributed to the superior absorption of sodium silicate that also improved the impregnation,reinforcement,and dimensional stability in the IIMPW.The chemical structure,crystalline structure,internal morphology,flame retardancy,smoke suppression,and thermal stability of IIMPW and OIMPW were characterized by FT-IR,XRD,SEM,CONE,and TGA.FT-IR and XRD results showed that,although IIMPW cellulose crystallinity reduced the most,more chemical bonds were come into being in IIMPW,which explained the better physical and mechanical properties of IIMPW.Compared with OIMPW,IIMPW had better flame retardant and smoke suppression performance.

文摘This study aims to investigate the behavior of alkali activated mortar,which is made of naturally available magnesium silicate as source material.For magnesium silicate,ultrafine natural steatite powder(UFNSP)is used as the primary source of binder,and the activation is initiated through the alkali liquid which is proportioned in various combinations of silicate to hydroxide ratio(Na_(2)SiO_(3)/Na OH)ratio,and this ratio in this study varies from 1 to 3.The UFNSP is calcined at two difierent temperatures,700 and 1000℃.The mortar mix is proportioned as 1:3 between powder and the fine aggregate,and the mortar is prepared with hydroxide molarity(M)of 10 M.The mortar is cured for 48 hours at 60℃and the compressive strength was studied.All the mix were studied for its microstructural behavior along with compressive strength.The mix proportion of the mortar,and the results obtained through microstructural characterization were combinedly formed as input for artificial neural network(ANN)predictive modelling.The model is designed to predict the compressive strength,which is trained through Bayesian regularization algorithm with varying hidden neurons of 7 to 10.This experimental and predictive study shows that the strength is influenced by both Na_(2)SiO_(3)/Na OH ratio and calcination process.And the ANN is influenced by mainly calcination temperature and uncorrelation occurs in selected samples of 1000℃calcined UFNSP mix.
文摘Geopolymers of metakaolin and sodium silicate were synthesized respectively with the ratios of the amount of SiO2 in the sodium silica solution to that of Al2O3 in metakaolinite equal to 1.0, and 0.66. The geopolymeric structures of the products were investigated by 27Al and 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonances with magic-angle spinning (MAS NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The reaction of the Al-O sheet in meakaolinite with low-order polymerized Si-O tetrahedral units such as monomer of SiO4 yields three-dimensional structures with the Q3 Si-O tetrahedral structure and the coordination of Al(IV) in the Al-O tetrahedral structure. The geopolymers are essentially X-ray amorphous. The assays by 27Al and 29Si NMR, FTIR confirm that the active structure in the metakaolinite is the sheet of Al-O with three coordination states.

文摘Layered porous ceramic used for polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network materials(PICNs) may be a promising candidate for dental restoration.The effect of sintering temperature of ceramic green bodies on mechanical and optical properties of PICNs is unclear.The purpose was to fabricate PICNs and evaluate their mechanical and optical properties.Polymer-infiltrated layered silicates for dental restorative materials were prepared via infiltrating polymerizable monomers into partially sintered porous silicates and thermo-curing.Bending samples for flexural strength and fracture toughness were fabricated(sample numbers of n=15).Vickers hardness and elastic modulus were measured via nano-indentation(n=10).One-way ANOVA and Weibull statistics were used for statistical analysis.Optical property was characterized by spectral reflectance.Brittleness index was used to characterize the machinability of the materials.Microstructures and phase structures were investigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD),respectively.Flexural strength of polymer-infiltrated layered silicates varied from 91.29 to 155.19 MPa,fracture toughness ranged from 1.186 to 1.782 MPa·m^1/2,Vickers hardness ranged from 1.165 to 9.596 GPa,and elastic modulus ranged from 25.35 to 100.50 GPa.The formed glass phases at 1200 and 1300℃ showed influences on corresponding optical property,which could be observed from spectral reflectance.A kind of PICNs was fabricated by infiltrating polymerizable monomers into layered porous ceramic networks.Sintering temperature could have dramatic effects on the mechanical and optical properties of porous ceramics and PICNs.These kinds of materials possess similar properties to that of natural tooth and could be used for dental restoration.

文摘Concretes on the basis of the alumosilicate polymer can be prepared by alkali activation （NaOH, sodium water glass） of waste brown coal fly ash. The preparation is possible： （1） by using a short-term heating of the concrete mix （to 80 ℃）; or （2） by allowing the mix to harden spontaneously at a temperature of 20 ℃. The concretes prepared by short-time heating attain high strength values after their preparation; the values are comparable to those characterizing concretes obtained on the basis of Portland cement. The strength development of concretes hardening at 20 ℃ is substantially less steep but, nevertheless, the strength attained after about 60 days is practically identical with that of the concretes exposed to a short-time heating. The shrinkage of concretes prepared by short-time heating is very small as compared with the concretes allowed to harden spontaneously; the shrinkage of latter concretes is larger than that of the concretes on the basis of Portland cement. The concretes on the basis of alumosilicate polymer exhibit much better resistance to the corrosive action of the environment as compared with those prepared on the basis of Portland cement.
文摘A novel coordination polymer(CP){[Cd_(2)(L)(1,4-bimb)_(1.5)(DMF)_(2)]·DMF}n(1)(H_(4)L=5,5'-[1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diylbis(oxy)]diisophthalic acid,1,4-bimb=1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)-benzene)has been designed and synthesized through solvothermal reaction.Structural analysis shows that Cd(Ⅱ)is connected by H4L and 1,4-bimb to form a 2D network,and 1,4-bimb further expands the 2D network into a 3D framework.CP 1 can be used as an excellent fluorescence sensor for Fe^(3+)and 4-nitrophenol(4-NP),with low detection limits and good anti-interference.The detection limits of Fe^(3+)and 4-NP were 0.034 and 0.031μmol·L^(-1),respectively.In addition,the fluorescence quenching mechanism was studied.1 was successfully applied to determine Fe^(3+)and 4-NP content in the Yanhe River water sample.CCDC:2351092.
文摘A novel Ni（Ⅱ） ion-imprinted silica gel polymer was prepared via the surface imprinting technique combined with aqueous solution polymerization by using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid（AMPS） as a functional monomer for the selective separation of Ni（Ⅱ） from aqueous solution. The sorbent showed good chemical and thermal stability. Kinetics studies indicated that the equilibrium adsorption was achieved within 10 min and the adsorption kinetics fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the ion-imprinted polymer towards Ni（Ⅱ） at the optimal p H of 7.0 was 66.22 mg·g^（-1）. The relative selectivity coefficients of the sorbent were 9.23, 15.71, 14.72 and 20.15 for Ni（Ⅱ）/Co（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）/Cu（Ⅱ）, Ni（Ⅱ）/Zn（Ⅱ） and Ni（Ⅱ）/Pb（Ⅱ）, respectively. The adsorption isotherm fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamic results indicated that the adsorption of Ni（Ⅱ） was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The sorbent showed good reusability evidenced by six cycles of adsorption/desorption experiments. The precision of this method is satisfactory. Thus, the prepared sorbent can be considered as a promising sorbent for selective separation of Ni（Ⅱ） in real water samples.
