The watershed is drained by major streams and tributaries flowing in an easterly direction over Eocene-aged rocks and sediments of the Wilcox and Claiborne groups, and empty into the western arm of Caddo Lake. Since 1995, Caddo Lake and some of its tributaries have been included on the State of Texas Clean Water Act 303(d) list by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for impairment due to mercury content in edible tissue, depressed dissolved oxygen, base metal concentrations, and low pH values. The purpose of this multi-year study was to characterize base metal concentrations in stream water and sediments in the Caddo Lake watershed, and document the potential watershed transport and contribution to the impairment of Caddo Lake. Recent water (n = 58) and sediment (n = 116) sampling at 29 sites revealed copper, lead, and zinc concentrations within normal limits and below EPA actionable standards. Mercury concentrations were elevated at 21 of the 29 sampling sites, which could lead to methylation and bioavailability to organisms at all trophic level.展开更多

Sample characterization, batch scoping tests, pilot-scale tests, and regrind-flotation tests were conducted on a Ni flotation tailings stream. Batch tests revealed that the Mg grade decreased dramatically in the concentrate products. Pilot-scale testing of a continuous centrifugal concentrator（Knelson CVD6） on the flotation tailings revealed that a concentrate with a low mass yield, low Mg content, and high Ni upgrade ratio could be achieved. Under optimum conditions, a concentrate at 6.7% mass yield was obtained with 0.85% Ni grade at 12.9% Ni recovery and with a low Mg distribution（1.7%）. Size partition curves demonstrated that the CVD also operated as a size classifier, enhancing the rejection of talc fines. Overall, the CVD was capable of rejecting Mg-bearing minerals. Moreover, an opportunity exists for the novel use of centrifugal-gravity concentration for scavenging flotation tailings and/or after comminution to minimize amount of Mg-bearing minerals reporting to flotation.展开更多

The microstructure of the particulate segregation region consists of alumina particulate and Al alloy matrix with the Al 2Cu and MgAl 2O 4. It contains more and smaller alumina particulates compared with the base material region. The TLP bonded joints have the tensile strength of 150 MPa ～200 MPa and the shear strength of 70 MPa ～100 MPa . With increasing tensile stress, cracks initiate in the particulate segregation region, especially in the particulate/particulate interface and the particulate/matrix interface, and propagate along particulate/matrix interface, througth thin matrix metal and by linking up the close cracks. The particulate segregation region is the weakest during tensile testing and shear testing due to obviously increased proportion of weak bonds (particulate particulate bond and particulate matrix bond).展开更多

The impact of Zr content on the interfacial microstructure and shear strength of joints was examined. And the relationship between the interfacial lattice structure and the fracture behavior of the joint was investigated. The findings reveal a sectionalized characteristic with three reaction zones (Zone I, Zone II and Zone III) in the microstructure of the TiAl intermetallic to K4169 alloy joint. As the Zr content in filler metals increased, the diffusion of Ti transitioned from long-distance to short-distance in Zone I, changing the initial composition from TiNi_(3) /TiNi/NiNb/(Cr, Fe, Ni)SS to NiCrFe/(Cr, Fe, Ni)SS /TiNi. In Zone II, the initial composition altered from TiNi_(3) /TiNi to TiNi/Ti_(2) Ni/TiNi_(3) /TiCu/TiNi. The interface between Zones II and III altered from a non-coherent and semi-coherent interface of TiNi/TiAl/Ti_(3) Al with significant residual stress to a semi-coherent interface of TiNi/TiNi_(3) /TiAl_(2) /Ti_(3) Al with a gradient distribution. The shear strength of the joint initially decreased and then increased. When the Zr content of filler metal was 25 at.%, the shear strength of the joint reached 288 MPa. The crack initiation position changed from non-coherent TiNi/TiAl interface with high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) and lattice mismatch of 65.86 at.% to a semi-coherent Ti3 Al/TiAl2 interface with a lattice mismatch of 20.07 at.% when the Zr content increased. The brittle fracture was present on the fracture surfaces of all brazed joints.展开更多

The influences of the alkali metals on the physicochemical properties of the CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts and the catalytic performance for CO_2 hydrogenation to long-chain hydrocarbons（C_（5＋））were investigated in this work. According to the characterization of the catalysts based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, CO_2 temperature-programmed desorption（TPD）, and H_2-TPD, the introduction of alkali metals could increase the CO_2 adsorption and decrease the H_2 chemisorption, which could suppress the formation of CH_4, enhance the production of C_（5＋）, and decrease the hydrogenation activity. Among all the promoters, the Na-modified CoCu/TiO_2 catalyst provided the maximum C_（5＋） yield of 5.4%, with a CO_2 conversion of 18.4% and C_（5＋） selectivity of42.1%, because it showed the strongest basicity and a slight decrease in the amount of H_2 desorption;it also exhibited excellent catalytic stability of more than 200 h.展开更多

Understanding excited state and reaction intermediate during light irradiation to return to ground state may be important for such composite systems. Therefore, we investigated such optical properties for systems using time-resolved luminescence and transient absorption measurements. DMSO solutions of the four newly prepared and characterized complexes (<strong>MMn</strong><strong>, MZn, CMn,</strong> and <strong>CZn</strong>) and ethanol solutions of the composite materials of each complex with AgNPs were served for optical measurements. The time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), the streak camera which is much shorter period of time than TCSPC and transient absorption measurement, was performed for the eight samples. The fluorescence lifetime of the sole complexes and the composite materials with AgNPs was derived from curve-fitting analysis of luminescence decay curves of TCSPC. Lifetime of the composite systems with AgNPs was longer than that of the corresponding sole metal complexes for three cases. It was revealed that composite systems may go through three reaction intermediates during relaxation from excited state to ground state. </div>展开更多

The chirality could not be shown by usual UV Vis spectra. The intrinsic chiral difference of the enantiomeric complexes can be displayed by circular dichroism(CD) spectra. The Cotton effect of every polarlight sensitive absorption of one enantiomer will be the opposite of that of the other enantiomer. It was found that no tetrahedron form exists for Ni 2+ complexes, which was determined with UV Vis spectra and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance(EPR) measures.展开更多

Gold and base metal occurrences are hosted in highly metamorphic felsic (metarhyolite) and intermediate (metadacite and metaandesite) formations. Common mineral assemblages made up of staurolite - kyanite - pyrophyllite are interpreted to represent the metamorphosed equivalent of aluminous hydrothermal alteration. Associated felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks are enriched in Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>O (metaandesite, metarhyolite) and depleted in MgO, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CaO, P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, Na<sub>2</sub>O (metarhyolite) and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, MgO, CaO (metaandesite). Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> depletion in mineralized kyanite-staurotide bearing metarhyolites suggests corroded minerals. Mineralized metarhyolites show enrichment in Au, Ag, Ba, Bi, Cr, Cu, Eu, La, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Sc, V and depletion in As Sb Co, Sn, Zn while mineralized metaandesites show enrichment in Au, Ag, As, Mo, S, Sb and depletion in Co, Sn, Zn, Bi, Cr, Cu, Eu, Ni, Pb, Sc. Ba, La, V are immobile in metaandesites. Finally, Ag, As, Sn appear as geochemical vectors for gold exploration in the study area since gold mineralization is characterized by Au + Ba + Cu + Eu + La + Mo + Ni + S association in metarhyolites and Au + S + Sb + As + Ag + Bi in metaandesites.展开更多

文摘Seven kinds of Schiff base metal complexes(C1-C7)were synthesized by the reaction of substituted salicylaldehyde Schiff base with cobalt nitrate,nickel nitrate,and copper nitrate,respectively.The oxygen carrying performance,and the catalytic property of complexes for the oxidation of model sulfides 1-hexanethiol,dibutyl sulfide,and 2-methylthiophene along with their influencing factors were explored,while the oxidized products of the model sulfides were also analyzed and characterized.The results show that the catalytic oxidation property of the complexes is determined by their oxygen carrying performance and solubility in n-octane.The oxygen carrying performance of the complexes is mainly affected by the central ion species,the electronic effects,and the spatial effects of the substituents as well as the degree of conjugation.More specifically,the oxygen carrying performance can be improved by enhancing the oxygenation capacity of the central metal ions,increasing the electron donating ability of the ligand substituent,and diminishing the steric hindrance as well as extending the conjugated chain.Complexes C7 were found to be with high oxygen carrying capacity and high solubility in n-octane,which shows the best catalytic oxidation property,and the oxidation conversion rates for 1-hexylthiol,dibutyl sulfide,and 2-methylthiophene are 74.2%,65.1%,and 22.7%,respectively.Upon using the oxidation catalyst of Schiff base metal complexes,three sulfides can be oxidized by oxygen to form sulfones and sulfoxides.1-Hexanethiol and dibutyl sulfide will continue to be oxidized to form sulfates and sulfites.

文摘A series of Ti_(56.25-x)Zr_(x)Ni_(25)Cu1_(8.75)(x=0–25,at.%) filler metals were designed based on a cluster-plus-glue-atom model to vacuum braze TiAl intermetallic to K4169 alloy. The impact of Zr content on the interfacial microstructure and shear strength of joints was examined. And the relationship between the interfacial lattice structure and the fracture behavior of the joint was investigated. The findings reveal a sectionalized characteristic with three reaction zones (Zone I, Zone II and Zone III) in the microstructure of the TiAl intermetallic to K4169 alloy joint. As the Zr content in filler metals increased, the diffusion of Ti transitioned from long-distance to short-distance in Zone I, changing the initial composition from TiNi_(3) /TiNi/NiNb/(Cr, Fe, Ni)SS to NiCrFe/(Cr, Fe, Ni)SS /TiNi. In Zone II, the initial composition altered from TiNi_(3) /TiNi to TiNi/Ti_(2) Ni/TiNi_(3) /TiCu/TiNi. The interface between Zones II and III altered from a non-coherent and semi-coherent interface of TiNi/TiAl/Ti_(3) Al with significant residual stress to a semi-coherent interface of TiNi/TiNi_(3) /TiAl_(2) /Ti_(3) Al with a gradient distribution. The shear strength of the joint initially decreased and then increased. When the Zr content of filler metal was 25 at.%, the shear strength of the joint reached 288 MPa. The crack initiation position changed from non-coherent TiNi/TiAl interface with high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) and lattice mismatch of 65.86 at.% to a semi-coherent Ti3 Al/TiAl2 interface with a lattice mismatch of 20.07 at.% when the Zr content increased. The brittle fracture was present on the fracture surfaces of all brazed joints.
文摘CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts promoted using alkali metals（Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs） were prepared by the homogeneous deposition-precipitation method followed by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The influences of the alkali metals on the physicochemical properties of the CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts and the catalytic performance for CO_2 hydrogenation to long-chain hydrocarbons（C_（5＋））were investigated in this work. According to the characterization of the catalysts based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, CO_2 temperature-programmed desorption（TPD）, and H_2-TPD, the introduction of alkali metals could increase the CO_2 adsorption and decrease the H_2 chemisorption, which could suppress the formation of CH_4, enhance the production of C_（5＋）, and decrease the hydrogenation activity. Among all the promoters, the Na-modified CoCu/TiO_2 catalyst provided the maximum C_（5＋） yield of 5.4%, with a CO_2 conversion of 18.4% and C_（5＋） selectivity of42.1%, because it showed the strongest basicity and a slight decrease in the amount of H_2 desorption;it also exhibited excellent catalytic stability of more than 200 h.

文摘2.25Cr–1Mo–0.25V base metal(BM)and welded metal(WM)with different temper embrittlement states were obtained by isothermal temper embrittlement test.The ductile–brittle transition temperature and the carbide size of temper embrittled 2.25Cr–1Mo–0.25V BM and WM increased with the isothermal tempering time.The increase in temper embrittlement time leads to a decrease in yield strength(YS)and ultimate tensile strength(UTS).Hydrogen embrittlement(HE)can decrease the ductility and increase YS and UTS of the material.The hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity and microstructure analysis both show a combined effect of HE and temper embrittlement.The deeper the temper embrittlement,the more sensitive the material to HE.When the hydrogen content in the material is low,the WM is less susceptible to HE due to its welding defects.
文摘<div style="text-align:justify;"> Herein we have originally designed chiral azo-salen Mn(II) and Zn(II) complexes for interacting silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibiting localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Understanding excited state and reaction intermediate during light irradiation to return to ground state may be important for such composite systems. Therefore, we investigated such optical properties for systems using time-resolved luminescence and transient absorption measurements. DMSO solutions of the four newly prepared and characterized complexes (<strong>MMn</strong><strong>, MZn, CMn,</strong> and <strong>CZn</strong>) and ethanol solutions of the composite materials of each complex with AgNPs were served for optical measurements. The time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), the streak camera which is much shorter period of time than TCSPC and transient absorption measurement, was performed for the eight samples. The fluorescence lifetime of the sole complexes and the composite materials with AgNPs was derived from curve-fitting analysis of luminescence decay curves of TCSPC. Lifetime of the composite systems with AgNPs was longer than that of the corresponding sole metal complexes for three cases. It was revealed that composite systems may go through three reaction intermediates during relaxation from excited state to ground state. </div>
文摘Enantiomeric four chelated planar square schiff base Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ complexes were synthesized using ( 1R,trans ) and ( 1S,trans) N,N bis(2 hydroxyphenyl methylene) 1,2 diaminocyclohexane. The chirality could not be shown by usual UV Vis spectra. The intrinsic chiral difference of the enantiomeric complexes can be displayed by circular dichroism(CD) spectra. The Cotton effect of every polarlight sensitive absorption of one enantiomer will be the opposite of that of the other enantiomer. It was found that no tetrahedron form exists for Ni 2+ complexes, which was determined with UV Vis spectra and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance(EPR) measures.

文摘An efficient method for the synthesis of some difunctionalized copillar[5]arene Schiff bases from condensation of salicylaldehyde and its 5-chloro,5-bromo,3,5-di（t-butyl） substituted derivatives with corresponding diamino-functionalized copillar[5]arene,which were prepared by Gabriel reaction according to the reported method.Single-crystals of six copillar[5]arenes were determined by X-ray diffraction.An ORTEP of compounds showed that the two chains units of Schiff base exist in the outside of the cavity of pillar[5]arene.Furthermore,the complexing ability of these Schiff bases to transition metal ions were investigated by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy.
文摘In the Mangodara area within the Banfora greenstone belts (Baoulé-Mossi domain of the West African Craton), our study focused on geochemical assessment of the mobility of major and trace elements. Gold and base metal occurrences are hosted in highly metamorphic felsic (metarhyolite) and intermediate (metadacite and metaandesite) formations. Common mineral assemblages made up of staurolite - kyanite - pyrophyllite are interpreted to represent the metamorphosed equivalent of aluminous hydrothermal alteration. Associated felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks are enriched in Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>O (metaandesite, metarhyolite) and depleted in MgO, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CaO, P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, Na<sub>2</sub>O (metarhyolite) and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, MgO, CaO (metaandesite). Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> depletion in mineralized kyanite-staurotide bearing metarhyolites suggests corroded minerals. Mineralized metarhyolites show enrichment in Au, Ag, Ba, Bi, Cr, Cu, Eu, La, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Sc, V and depletion in As Sb Co, Sn, Zn while mineralized metaandesites show enrichment in Au, Ag, As, Mo, S, Sb and depletion in Co, Sn, Zn, Bi, Cr, Cu, Eu, Ni, Pb, Sc. Ba, La, V are immobile in metaandesites. Finally, Ag, As, Sn appear as geochemical vectors for gold exploration in the study area since gold mineralization is characterized by Au + Ba + Cu + Eu + La + Mo + Ni + S association in metarhyolites and Au + S + Sb + As + Ag + Bi in metaandesites.
文摘The transmetallation reaction of 4 Schiff base type arylmercury compounds with metallic tin has been carried out in refluxing xylene.It was found that the reaction proceeds in the same manner as that of chloro[2-(phenylazo)phenyl]mercury(Ⅱ) to give dichlorobisaryltin(Ⅳ).The ~1H NMR spectra of the products provide evidence for the presence of N→Sn intramolecular coordination.The formation of dichlorobisaryltin(Ⅳ)as a unique product probably arises from the N→Sn intramolecular coordination which results in the increasing of the stability of the molecule.
文摘Some new Schiff bases were synthesized by the condensation of equimolar quantities of salicylaldehyde and 2-amino-5-phenylazo-pyridine or its derivatives in dry benzene(1):Metal complexes of the type ML_2and M'L_3 where M=Cu^(2+),Co^(2+),Ni^(2+),Mn^(2+)Pd^(2+),M'=Fe^(3+)and L=different newly synthesized monobasic Schiff bases were prepared in absolute ethanolic medium(2)and characterized by elementary analysis,conductance measurements,infrared spectra,electronic spectra,magnetic moments studies.
文摘The performances of mixed ceramic and sialon ceramic tools in machining nickel based alloy are tested.The negative cutting edge inclination and small tool lead angle are recommended for reducing ceramic tool failure. So called“notching at depth of cut”is not actually at the depth of cutting line, but out of cutting area。 The real reason of notching is caused by shocking of “sawtooth”on sawtooth- shaped burr and fin- shaped edges of chip
