The catalyst of sodium salt of tungstic acid with Co as central atom （Na5CoW12O40） showed optimum activity towards transesterification compared with other heteropoly tungstates. The catalysts activities were correlated with the observed physico-chemical characteristics derived from FT-infrared （FT-IR）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia （NH3-TPD） and carbon dioxide （CO2-TPD）. The Na5CoW12O40 catalyst exhibiting high activity even at 65 ℃ is due to the presence of strong acidic as well as basic sites. The disclosed catalyst is tolerable towards water and free fatty acids present in the oils. The influence of catalyst loading, reaction time and reaction temperature is studied to optimize the reaction parameters.展开更多

From the diagram, the thermodynamic conditions for removing phosphorus from the tungstate solution by magnesium salt precipitation were obtained. The results show that when the concentration of total magnesium increases from 0.01 mol/L to 1.0 mol/L, the optimal pH for the phosphorus removal by magnesium phosphate decreases from 9.8 to 8.8. The residual concentration of total phosphorus almost keeps the level of 4.0×10-6 mol/L in the system. MgHPO4, Mg3（PO4）2 and the mixture of Mg3（PO4）2 and Mg（OH）2 are stabilized in these system, respectively. However, increasing the total concentration of magnesium has little effect on phosphorus removal by magnesium ammonium phosphate, while it is helpful for phosphorus removal by increasing the total ammonia concentration. The calculated results demonstrate that the residual concentration of total phosphorus can decrease to 5.0×10-7 mol/L as the total concentration of ammonia reaches 5.0 mol/L and the optimal pH value is 9-10. Finally, verification experiments were conducted with home-made ammonium tungstate solution containing 50 g/L WO3 and 13 g/L P. The results show that when the dosage of MgCl2 is 1.1 times of the theoretical amount, the optimum pH for removing phosphorus is 9.5, which matches with the results of the theoretical calculation exactly.展开更多

Pt nanoparticles（NPs） of different contents（0.5 wt%,1 wt% and 2 wt%） were subsequently deposited on the PbW O4 microcrystals,producing robust Pt/PbW O4 composite microcrystals. The PbW O4 microcrystals and Pt/PbW O4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction,N2 sorption measurements,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray photoelectron,photoluminescence,Fourier-transform infrared,and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopies. The photocatalytic performances of the catalysts were evaluated by the consecutive photocatalytic degradation of acid orange II dye. The Pt/PbW O4 composite microcrystals exhibited high photocatalytic activity and stability. The deposition of Pt NPs produced surface plasmon resonance（SPR）,which induced a large visible light absorption. A Pt NP content of 1-2 wt% resulted in an ~2 times increase in photocatalytic activity,compared with the activity of Pt/PbW O4. The crystal structure and high crystallinity of PbW O4 resulted in its favorable photocatalytic property,and the SPR effect of the Pt NPs promoted visible light harvesting. The Pt NPs also enhanced the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes,which further promoted the photocatalytic reaction.展开更多

The batch tests indicate that the optimum pH value and contact time for the separation are 7.0 and 4 h respectively, the maxium separation factor of W and Mo is 9.29. And the experimental resules show that isothermal absorbing tungsten and molybdenum belongs to Langmuir model and Freundlich model respectively, and the absorbing kinetics for tungsten is controlled by intra-particle diffusion.

The crystalline phases characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） show that the sample glasses crystallizes into two phases, i.e. NATP and Ca9Al（PO4）7, while the Ca9Al（PO4）7 phase can be leached selectively with HCl, leaving a massive number of pores in the material. Through the experimental research, the effects of contact time, solution pH, and the initial concentration of Na＋on the cation exchange properties were investigated. The batch sorption kinetics and equilibria can be described by Pseudo-second-order kinetic equations and Langmuir isotherm equations respectively. Furthermore, the experiments with an industrial solution show that the removal rate of sodium from industrial （NH4）2WO4 is higher than 97%. Cycle experiment also shows that the NATP has a good cyclic performance.展开更多

However, rapid recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and a narrow light response range to the solar spectrum lead to low photocatalytic activity of MWO_4-based materials, thus significantly hampering their wide usage in practice. To enable their widespread practical usage, significant efforts have been devoted, by developing new concepts and innovative strategies. In this review, we aim to provide an integrated overview of the fundamentals and recent progress of MWO_4-based photocatalysts. Furthermore, different strategies, including morphological control, surface modification, heteroatom doping, and heterojunction fabrication, which are employed to promote the photocatalyticactivities of MWO_4-based materials, are systematically summarized and discussed. Finally, existing challenges and a future perspective are also provided to shed light on the development of highly efficient MWO_4-based photocatalysts.展开更多

Their crystal structure and negative thermal expansion properties were studied using high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. All samples of rare-earth ttmgstates and molybdates are found to crystallize in the same orthorhombic structure with space group Pnca and show the negative thermal expansion phenomena related to transverse vibration of bridging oxygen atoms in the structure. Thermal expansion coefficients （TEC） of Lu2W3_xMoxO12 are determined as -20.0× 10^-6 K^-1 for x=0.5 and -16.1×10^-6 K^-1 for x=2.5 but -18.6× 10^-6 and -16.9× 10^-6K^-1 for unsubstituted Lu2W3012 and Lu2M03012 in the identical temperature range of 200 to 800℃. High-temperature X-ray diffraction （XRD） data and bond length analysis suggest that the difference between W-O and Mo-O bond is responsible for the change of TECs after the element substitution in this series of solid solutions.展开更多

文摘The thermodynamic equilibrium diagrams of Mg2＋- 3-4PO - ＋4NH -H2O system at 298 K were established based on the thermodynamic calculation. From the diagram, the thermodynamic conditions for removing phosphorus from the tungstate solution by magnesium salt precipitation were obtained. The results show that when the concentration of total magnesium increases from 0.01 mol/L to 1.0 mol/L, the optimal pH for the phosphorus removal by magnesium phosphate decreases from 9.8 to 8.8. The residual concentration of total phosphorus almost keeps the level of 4.0×10-6 mol/L in the system. MgHPO4, Mg3（PO4）2 and the mixture of Mg3（PO4）2 and Mg（OH）2 are stabilized in these system, respectively. However, increasing the total concentration of magnesium has little effect on phosphorus removal by magnesium ammonium phosphate, while it is helpful for phosphorus removal by increasing the total ammonia concentration. The calculated results demonstrate that the residual concentration of total phosphorus can decrease to 5.0×10-7 mol/L as the total concentration of ammonia reaches 5.0 mol/L and the optimal pH value is 9-10. Finally, verification experiments were conducted with home-made ammonium tungstate solution containing 50 g/L WO3 and 13 g/L P. The results show that when the dosage of MgCl2 is 1.1 times of the theoretical amount, the optimum pH for removing phosphorus is 9.5, which matches with the results of the theoretical calculation exactly.

文摘Rod-shaped PbW O4 microcrystals of length 1 μm were fabricated by a hydrothermal route and subsequent calcination. Pt nanoparticles（NPs） of different contents（0.5 wt%,1 wt% and 2 wt%） were subsequently deposited on the PbW O4 microcrystals,producing robust Pt/PbW O4 composite microcrystals. The PbW O4 microcrystals and Pt/PbW O4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction,N2 sorption measurements,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray photoelectron,photoluminescence,Fourier-transform infrared,and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopies. The photocatalytic performances of the catalysts were evaluated by the consecutive photocatalytic degradation of acid orange II dye. The Pt/PbW O4 composite microcrystals exhibited high photocatalytic activity and stability. The deposition of Pt NPs produced surface plasmon resonance（SPR）,which induced a large visible light absorption. A Pt NP content of 1-2 wt% resulted in an ~2 times increase in photocatalytic activity,compared with the activity of Pt/PbW O4. The crystal structure and high crystallinity of PbW O4 resulted in its favorable photocatalytic property,and the SPR effect of the Pt NPs promoted visible light harvesting. The Pt NPs also enhanced the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes,which further promoted the photocatalytic reaction.

文摘Ag2S/Ag2WO4 composite microrods,with lengths of 0.2-1μm and diameters of 20-30 nm,were fabricated by a facile sonochemical route.The as-synthesized products were intensively investigated by a series of physicochemical characterizations,such as N2 physical adsorption,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,diffuser reflectance spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,photoluminescence spectroscopy and photocurrent response measurements.Ultrasonic irradiation yields an obvious improvement in the photocatalyst texture,for example,an increase in crystallinity and surface area.Moreover,sonochemically fabricated Ag2S/Ag2WO4 microrods display strong visible light absorption and a high transient photocurrent response.The produced intimate Ag2S/Ag2WO4interface between Ag2S and Ag2WO4 crystal phases largely promotes the separation of photogenerated holes and electrons.High photocatalytic activity and stability were obtained over Ag2S/Ag2WO4composite microrods.The dye degradation rate constant of Ag2S/Ag2WO4 was 4.7 times and 29.8times higher than that of bare Ag2WO4 and Ag2S,respectively.

文摘Based on the difference in tendency to polymerize between tungsten and molybdenum, a new method using D309 resin was propounded. The batch tests indicate that the optimum pH value and contact time for the separation are 7.0 and 4 h respectively, the maxium separation factor of W and Mo is 9.29. And the experimental resules show that isothermal absorbing tungsten and molybdenum belongs to Langmuir model and Freundlich model respectively, and the absorbing kinetics for tungsten is controlled by intra-particle diffusion. With a solution containing 70 g/L WO3 and 28.97 g/L Mo, the effluent with a mass ratio of Mo to WO3 of 76 and the eluate with a mass ratio of WO3 to Mo of 53.33 are obtained after column test.

文摘An adsorbent, Na1.6Al0.6Ti1.4（PO4）3 （or NATP）, was prepared by controlled crystallization of glasses in the Na2O-Al2O3-CaO-TiO2-P2O5 system. The crystalline phases characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） show that the sample glasses crystallizes into two phases, i.e. NATP and Ca9Al（PO4）7, while the Ca9Al（PO4）7 phase can be leached selectively with HCl, leaving a massive number of pores in the material. Through the experimental research, the effects of contact time, solution pH, and the initial concentration of Na＋on the cation exchange properties were investigated. The batch sorption kinetics and equilibria can be described by Pseudo-second-order kinetic equations and Langmuir isotherm equations respectively. Furthermore, the experiments with an industrial solution show that the removal rate of sodium from industrial （NH4）2WO4 is higher than 97%. Cycle experiment also shows that the NATP has a good cyclic performance.

文摘Visible-light-responsive ternary metal tungstate(MWO_4) photocatalysts are being increasingly investigated for energy conversion and environmental purification applications owing to their striking features, including low cost,eco-friendliness, and high stability under acidic and oxidative conditions. However, rapid recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and a narrow light response range to the solar spectrum lead to low photocatalytic activity of MWO_4-based materials, thus significantly hampering their wide usage in practice. To enable their widespread practical usage, significant efforts have been devoted, by developing new concepts and innovative strategies. In this review, we aim to provide an integrated overview of the fundamentals and recent progress of MWO_4-based photocatalysts. Furthermore, different strategies, including morphological control, surface modification, heteroatom doping, and heterojunction fabrication, which are employed to promote the photocatalyticactivities of MWO_4-based materials, are systematically summarized and discussed. Finally, existing challenges and a future perspective are also provided to shed light on the development of highly efficient MWO_4-based photocatalysts.
文摘Nd^3＋ ：NaLa（WO4）2 crystals with a dimension up to 7 mm were grown from a high temperature solution using a double-crucible method. Scanning electron microscopy observations of the crystals showed that there were no small cracks on the surface of the crystals although they underwent two phase transitions when cooling down from high temperatures. X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the as-obtained product is pure low- temperature tetragonal Nd^3＋ ：NaLa（WO4）2. The absorption and fluorescence spectra for Nd^3＋ ：NaLa（WO4）2 were measured at room temperature. The absorption band at 804 nm has a wide full-width half maximum of 23 nm whose origin is discussed. The absorption and emission cross sections were calculated to be 7.24×10^-20 cm^2 at 804 nm and 6.54×10 ^-20 cm^2 at 1057 nm, respectively.
文摘The synthesis of co-doped KEu0.01Gd0.19Yb0.8（WO4）2 was achieved by a modified Pechini method at 750℃.

The grain sizes of about 100 nm of monoclinic KGW were successfully obtained by this meth- odology. In order to study spectroscopic properties of the prepared system the emission spectra were measured. The effective down- and up-conversion processes in non-resonant system were investigated.
文摘An unusual inorganic-organic hybrid hexatungstate complex [Cu（phen）3][W6O19] 1 （C36H24 CuN6O19W6, Mr= 2011.20） was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, UV-VIS spectrum and elemental analyses. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 19.1005（11）, b = 11.2585（11）, c = 20.2867（15） A, β= 102.177（2）°, V= 4264.4 A^ 3, μ（MoKa） = 16.691 mm^-1, Dc = 3.133 g/cm^3, Z = 4, F（000） = 3628, the final R = 0.0338 and wR = 0.0798 for 4090 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The result of structure determination shows that the crystal structure is constructed from [W6O19]^2- cluster anions and [Cu（phen）3]^2＋ complex fragments, which are held together into a three-dimensional network through hydrogen-bonding interactions.

文摘A new series of solid solutions Lu2W3-xMoxO12 （0.5≤r≤2.5） were successfully synthesized by the solid-state method. Their crystal structure and negative thermal expansion properties were studied using high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. All samples of rare-earth ttmgstates and molybdates are found to crystallize in the same orthorhombic structure with space group Pnca and show the negative thermal expansion phenomena related to transverse vibration of bridging oxygen atoms in the structure. Thermal expansion coefficients （TEC） of Lu2W3_xMoxO12 are determined as -20.0× 10^-6 K^-1 for x=0.5 and -16.1×10^-6 K^-1 for x=2.5 but -18.6× 10^-6 and -16.9× 10^-6K^-1 for unsubstituted Lu2W3012 and Lu2M03012 in the identical temperature range of 200 to 800℃. High-temperature X-ray diffraction （XRD） data and bond length analysis suggest that the difference between W-O and Mo-O bond is responsible for the change of TECs after the element substitution in this series of solid solutions.

文摘Synthesis of polycrystalline Nd：Sr0.95Ba0.05WO4 by means of liquid-and solid-phase reaction was reported.X-ray powder diffraction results showed that the as-grown Sr0.95Ba0.05WO4 and Nd：Sr0.95Ba0.05WO4 single crystals belonged to tetragonal system and I41/a space group.Transparent Nd：Sr0.95Ba0.05WO4 single crystal could be obtained along c-axis by Czochralski method from the synthesized polycrys-talline material.As the transmittance of Sr0.95Ba.005WO4 single crystal could reach 80%, Nd3＋ ion was adopted to be doped into the single crystal.Spontaneous Raman spectrums of polycrystalline material and single crystal were measured by RERKZN-ELMER2000 and JY-HR800.By using X-ray fluorescence method, the effective segregation coefficients of Nd, Ba, Sr, and W elements in Sr0.95Ba.005WO4 single crystal were estimated as 0.844（0.745）, 0.44, 1.09, and 0.95, respectively.The segregation coefficients of Nd in Sr0.95Ba0.05WO4 were higher than that in BaWO4, and this is as better as a Raman laser crystal.

文摘The photocatalytic ability of ZnO is improved through the addition of flower‐like Bi2WO6 to prepare a Bi2WO6/ZnO composite with visible light activity.The composite is characterized by X‐ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy with UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and N2 adsorption‐desorption isotherms.After modification,the band gap energy of Bi2WO6/ZnO is reduced from 3.2 eV for ZnO to 2.6 eV.Under visible light irradiation,the Bi2WO6/ZnO composite shows an excellent photocatalytic activity for degrading methylene blue(MB)and tetracycline.The photo‐degradation efficiencies of(0.3:1)Bi2WO6/ZnO for MB and tetracycline are approximately 246 and 4500 times higher than those of bare ZnO,respectively,and correspondingly,the photo‐degradation rates for the two pollutants are approximately 120 and 200 times higher than those with bare ZnO,respectively.Moreover,the photocatalyst of(0.3:1)Bi2WO6/ZnO exhibits a higher transient photocurrent density of approximately 4.5μA compared with those of bare Bi2WO6 and ZnO nanoparticles.The successful recombination of Bi2WO6 and ZnO enhances the photocatalytic activity and reduces the band gap energy of ZnO,which can be attributed to the effective separation of electron–hole pairs.Active species trapping experiments display that[O2]-is the major species involved during photocatalysis rather than·OH and h+.This study provides insight into designing a meaningful visible‐light‐driven photocatalyst for environmental remediation.
