All products were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer. In the next step, the effective factors on the sizes and morphologies of micro-particles in the presence and absence of two soft templates of poly(ethylene glycol)-400(PEG-400) polymer and coconut fatty acid diethanolamide(lauramide) surfactant were investigated. The results of experiments showed that using of water-soluble PEG-400 in the low antisolvent temperatures leads to the production of very spherical particles. Also non-ionic surfactant of lauramide, direct the crystal growth to needle-like structures. The advantages of this method are its capability for the simple production of β-HMX micro-particles in the large scale production process, with the various crystal structures and particles size distributions.展开更多

The physicochemical properties and catalytic performances were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2 -TPR）, oxygen storage capacity （OSC） measurement and catalytic activity evaluation. It was found that Cu2＋ ions incorporated into CeO2 -ZrO2 lattice to form Cu-Ce-Zr-O solid solution associated with the formation of oxygen vacancies. The Cu-Ce-Zr-O catalysts prepared via the SAS process with the Cu content 2.63 mol.% showed the highest OSC index of 636.9 μmol/g. Compared with the samples prepared by impregnation method, Cu doping using SAS process could improve the dispersion of Cu2＋ in the composite oxide, enhance the interaction between Cu2＋ and CeO2-ZrO2 , improve the reducibility of catalyst, and thus improve the OSC performance and increase the catalytic activity for CO oxidation at low temperature.展开更多

It has been shown that the addition of these solvents in CdEGTA complex aqueous solution can increase the rate constant (k) of the nitrogen inversion and decrease the activation energy of this process. The linear relations between In(k) and the reciprocal of the solvent dielectric constants (1/ε) are obtained for all the three solvents.展开更多

Central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize the reaction conditions. Optimal reaction conditions of the first step were alcohol to oil molar ratio of 9:1, catalyst (H2SO4) amount 1 wt%, reaction temperature 333 K, and reaction time 7.5 minutes;while for the second step, optimal reaction conditions were alcohol to oil molar ratio 12:1, catalyst (NaOH) amount 1 wt%, reaction temperature 333 K, and reaction time 2.0 minutes. The total reaction time was 9.5 min and the conversion rate of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) achieved was 97.4%. The total reaction time was shorter than previous studies. Therefore, the co-solvent and microwave assisted two-step catalyzing process has a potential application in producing biodiesel from waste vegetable oil.展开更多

It is found that the extractant HEHPEHE exhibited high extraction selectivity to chromium（III） from aqueous waste solution. The colloidal liquid aphrons （CLAs） were successfully generated using kerosene as a solvent, HEHPEHE as an extractant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphate （SDBS） as a surfactant in aqueous phase and polyoxyethylene sorbitol anhydride monolaurate （Tween-20） in oil phase. To study the extraction efficiency and advantages of the PDSE process in the removal of chromium（III）, the effects of major factors, such as initial chromium（III） concentration, volume of colloidal gas aphrons （CGAs）, HEHPEHE volume fraction, phase ratio （solvent phase to water phase）, mass fraction of dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide （HTAB）, mass fraction of SDBS, mass fraction of Tween-20 and initial pH of aqueous waste solution were also investigated and the appropriate process conditions were obtained. Under the appropriate conditions, the extraction efficiency of chromium（III） above 99.9 % can be achieved and the treated aqueous waste solution can be discharged directly without polluting the environment.展开更多
