Hydrolysis product of salicylic acid can result in adverse effects and affect the determination of dissolution rate assaying. In this study, the technique of differential spectra was employed, which made it possible to monitor the dissolution testing in situ. The results showed that the hydrolyzation of aspirin made the percentage of salicylic acid exceed the limit of free salicylic acid （4.0）, and the hydrolyzation may affect the quality detection of aspirin delayed-release tablets.展开更多

The acidic dissolution of this formation arose at 5-4Ma, which corresponds to the late burial stage of the Bashijiqike Formation. Variability of interlayer due to rock composition is negligible. Differentiation of acidic dissolution in sandstones was controlled by difference in amount of exogenous acid fluid from underlying strata. For the absence of sedimentary and structural carrier system between the isolated sandstone reservoirs, most fluid-rock systems show relative sealing feature during later burial stage by sealing feature of formation pressure, geochemical characteristics of formation water and content of diagenetic products in sandstones. Variation of sealing effects for different fluid-rock systems is obvious. The pressure coefficient is inversely proportional to acidic dissolved porosity of sandstone reservoirs, indicating that the variation of sealing effects for fluid- rock system mainly controls the differentiation of acidic dissolution.展开更多

To tackle the issues, this study introduces a novel method for the effective recovery of silver by utilizing the alkaline sodium thiosulfate-potassium ferricyanide leaching system. The reaction kinetics of silver dissolution in this system was investigated via the rotating disk electrode technology. The influences of important parameters, including the rotation speed, sodium thiosulfate concentration, potassium ferricyanide concentration, and temperature, on the silver dissolution rate were systematically investigated. The activation energy was measured to be 17.96 kJ·mol^(-1) when the silver dissolution was controlled by a diffusion process. When the silver dissolution was in the region of mixed control, the reaction orders of ferricyanide and thiosulfate were found to be 0.57 and 0.19, respectively, and the reaction orders of ferricyanide and thiosulfate were 0.55 and 0.22, respectively, when the silver dissolution was controlled by surface reaction. This study has great potential for the development of an environmentally friendly silver recovery process from end-of-life products.展开更多

The results show that hemimorphite is soluble in NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O system and its residue exists in the form of an amorphous SiO2 layer on the hemimorphite surface. The XPS data also indicate that the Si 2p3/2 and O ls spectra of the hemimorphite are broadened and shift to higher binding energies and their binding energies are closer to silica with an increase of total ammonia and time. Solubility of hemimorphite in NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O system was measured by means of isothermal solution method at 298.15 K based on the study of the dissolution mechanism of hemimorphite. The results show that the solubility of zinc in solution increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of cr（NH3） （total ammonia concentration） at different NH3/NH4^＋ ratios. The solubility of silicon in solution decreases from 0.0334 mol/kg in ct（NH3）-4.1245 mol/kg NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O solution to 0.0046 mol/kg in cT（NH3）=7.6035 mol/kg NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O solution.展开更多
To investigate the dissolution behaviors of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions in CaO-5wt%MgO-SiO_(2)-30wt%Al_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2)system ladle slags,confocal scanning laser microscopy was conducted on the slags with different TiO_(2)c...To investigate the dissolution behaviors of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions in CaO-5wt%MgO-SiO_(2)-30wt%Al_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2)system ladle slags,confocal scanning laser microscopy was conducted on the slags with different TiO_(2)contents(0-10wt%),and scanning electron microscopy was performed to study the interfacial reaction between Al_(2)O_(3)and this slag system.The results disclose that the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions does not result in the formation of new phases at the boundary between the slag and the inclusions.In TiO_(2)-bearing and TiO_(2)-free ladle slags,there is no difference in the dissolution mechanism of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions at steelmaking temperatures.Boundary layer diffusion is found as the controlling step of the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3),and the diffusion coefficient is in the range of 4.18×10^(-10)to 2.18×10^(-9)m^(2)/s at 1450-1500℃.Compared with the solubility of Al_(2)O_(3)in the slags,slag viscosity and temperature play a more profound role in the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions.A lower viscosity and a lower melting point of the slags are beneficial for the dissolution.Suitable addition of TiO_(2)(e.g.,5wt%)in ladle slags can enhance the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions because of the low viscosity and melting point of the slags,while excessive addition of TiO_(2)(e.g.,10wt%)shows the opposite trend.展开更多

Sample B, RS and WS used here were made from beech, rice straw and wheat straw respectively. They could be completely dissolved in the NMMO - water system. A commercial a - cellulose was employed in the comparative experiment. The entire dissolving process was Investigated. At a given temperature, the vacuum condition applied to the mixture of the cellulose and NMMO - water was very important in order to accelerate the dissolution of cellulose and shorten the dissolving period. After dissolution, degree of polymerization (DP) of all samples was measured by viscometry. Longer dissolving time and higher temperature could cause the degradation of the dissolved cellulose. N- propyl gallate could prevent the degradation of cellulose during the process of dissolution.展开更多

Destabilization of the corrosion scale at the inner layer of pipeline is the major source of lead in drinking water. Chemical properties of the water passing through the distribution system such as pH, alkalinity, chlorine content, oxidation reduction potential (ORP) and natural organic matters will affect the formation and/or destabilization of the corrosion scale. This research examines the impact of pH values (7.0 - 9.5), temperatures (5°C vs 20°C) and alkalinity levels (moderate vs low), in the presence of chlorine, on dissolution of hydrocerussite and cerussite in drinking water by various sets of batch dissolution experiments. The results showed dissolution of cerussite and hydrocerussite was not impacted significantly by pH ranging 7.0 - 9.5. In addition, and somewhat surprisingly, cold temperature (5°C) and moderate alkalinity showed a great influence on decreasing the solubility of lead species.展开更多

The elemental composition of the ore was carried out using the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). The result showed that the iron ore contain;Fe (62.1%), O (21.7%), Cu (11.1%), Mg (2.39%), Na (1.51%), Mn (1.47%), K (0.78%), Ca (0.58%) and Zn (0.01%). It was determined that the dissolution rate increased with increased solution concentration, temperature, time and decreased particle size of the ore. The optimum conditions for effective dissolution of 88% of the iron ore were found to be 8 Mof the solution, 353 K, 100 min and ore particle size of less than 75 μm. The kinetic evaluation of the dissolution process was studied using three different shrinking core models (SCM);Film diffusion: kft =XB;interfacial chemical reaction krt =?1-(1-XB)1/3?and ash/product layer diffusion :??for spherical materials was performed. The results obtained showed that the rate determining step for the dissolution process was the product layer diffusion and therefore, the reaction followed this mechanism. The apparent activation energy (Ea) and the order of reaction were found to be 20.48 kJ/mol and 0.7 respectively.展开更多

文摘Examining carbonate dissolution kinetics at mineral-water interface is crucial to understand numerous environmental and geochemical processes,including global carbon cycling,CO_(2)sequestration in deep geological reservoirs,and trace elements release in terrestrial and aquatic environments.Here we explored the effect of circumneutral to alkaline pH solutions(pH 6-11)on dissolution kinetics of pure dolomite and Ca and Mg release stoichiometry in flow-through reactor experiments at 25±1℃.Results revealed that the dolomite dissolution rates obtained from effluent Ca and Mg concentrations(R_(Ca)and R_(Mg)in mol/cm^(2)/s)were dependent on input solution pH and HCO_(3)^(-)log activity.The pH dependence of dissolution rates showed two distinct trends,i.e.,at circumneutral pH ranging between 6 and 8,the dissolution rate decreased with increasing pH,with minimum rate at pH 8.While in the highly alkaline pH range(pH 9-11),the dolomite dissolution rate increased with an increasing pH.Irrespective of the input pH,the dolomite dissolution rates indicated a reverse relationship with HCO_(3)^(-)log activity,with the lowest dissolution rate(R Ca=3.80×10^(-12)mol/cm^(2)/s)at pH 8 where HCO_(3)^(-)log activity attained the highest value(-3.957).The lower R Ca and R Mg obtained at pH 8 compared to all the other pH could possibly be attributed to an inhibition caused by high HCO_(3)^(-)log activity in solution at this pH.Dolomite dissolution rates were non-stoichiometric at all the experimental pH values,showing higher preferential Ca over Mg release(R_(Ca)>R_(Mg))whereas an opposite trend was observed at pH 8,with R_(Ca)<R_(Mg)at the steady state.Saturation index values calculated using geochemical speciation modelling were positive for Mg-bearing minerals(brucite,dolomite,artinite)at alkaline pH of 10-11,indicating favourable conditions for their precipitation under studied conditions.This study provides insights on the significance of log ion activities of HCO_(3)^(-)and Me-OH^(+)under varying pH for elucidating the dissolution mechanism of dolomite in circumneutral to alkaline aqueous environments.
文摘As-cast Mg-Sn alloys(3,6,and 9 wt%Sn)were solution treated at 653,703 and 753 K(380,430 and 480℃)for 1,4,8,12 and 24 h to determine the variation of secondary phase with respect to Sn content,temperature and time.Mg-3 wt%Sn exhibits Mg2Sn dissolution at all solution treatment temperatures whereas Mg-6 and 9 wt%Sn alloy displays Mg2Sn reprecipitation and dissolution depending on the heat treatment temperature.In addition,a combined mathematical model that predicts the secondary phase dissolution and solute redistribution as a function of temperature and time is presented in this work.This model is a significant improvement compared to the previous studies where the dissolution and homogenization processes are considered independently.The effect of grain size and solute mobility upon the dissolution and homogenization kinetics is discussed as well.

文摘The dissolution performance of black aluminum dross(BAD)in cryolite electrolyte is key to its recovery by molten salt electrolysis.The stable operation of the electrolyzer depends mainly on the rapid dissolution of BAD in Na_(3)AlF_(6)-AlF_(3)-Al_(2)O_(3)electrolyte system.In this paper,the dissolution performance and behavior of BAD and its main components in the cryolite system were studied,and the saturation solubility of aluminum nitride in this system was determined.The dissolution performance of BAD in cryolite electrolyte before and after denitration was compared,and the effects of temperature,cryolite ratio,and the doping ratio of BAD and alumina on the dissolution rate were investigated.The obtained results showed that aluminum nitride was the main factor affecting the dissolution performance of BAD in the electrolyte.Aluminum nitride was partly converted toα-Al_(2)O_(3)after addition to the electrolyte,and the convertedα-Al_(2)O_(3)was partially dissolved in the cryolite electrolyte,while the remaining precipitated and accumulated at the bottom with aluminum nitride.Aluminum nitride was almost insoluble in the cryolite electrolyte,with 0.0022%solubility.A higher proportion ofα-Al_(2)O_(3)in BAD was negatively influenced its solubility in the cryolite electrolyte.The dissolution rate of BAD in cryolite electrolytes was effectively improved by mixing BAD withγ-Al_(2)O_(3).

文摘The Cretaceous Bashijiqike Formation is the main gas-bearing strata in the northern structural deformation zone of Kuqa subbasin. The acidic dissolution of this formation arose at 5-4Ma, which corresponds to the late burial stage of the Bashijiqike Formation. Variability of interlayer due to rock composition is negligible. Differentiation of acidic dissolution in sandstones was controlled by difference in amount of exogenous acid fluid from underlying strata. For the absence of sedimentary and structural carrier system between the isolated sandstone reservoirs, most fluid-rock systems show relative sealing feature during later burial stage by sealing feature of formation pressure, geochemical characteristics of formation water and content of diagenetic products in sandstones. Variation of sealing effects for different fluid-rock systems is obvious. The pressure coefficient is inversely proportional to acidic dissolved porosity of sandstone reservoirs, indicating that the variation of sealing effects for fluid- rock system mainly controls the differentiation of acidic dissolution.

文摘The dissolution behaviors of Ta2O5,Nb2O5 and their mixture in KOH and H2O system were investigated.A L9(34) orthogonal design was used to study the effects of reaction temperature,mass ratio of KOH to Ta2O5,and reaction time on the dissolution rate of tantalum.It was found that the effect of reaction temperature on the dissolution rate of tantalum was much greater than that of the other factors.The results of factorial experiments showed that Ta2O5 was mainly transformed into insoluble potassium tantalate at low temperature(350 ℃) and transformed into soluble potassium tantalate at high temperature(450 ℃).The insoluble potassium tantalate was analyzed by XRD,which was proved to be KTaO3.Differently,almost all Nb2O5 was transformed into soluble potassium niobate at 350-450℃.As for the mixture of Ta2O5 and Nb2O5,the dissolution rate of tantalum increased and the dissolution rate of niobium decreased as an interaction existed between niobium and tantalum.And increasing the mole ratio of Nb2O5 to Ta2O5 in the mixture was beneficial to the dissolution of both Ta2O5 and Nb2O5.In addition,the mechanism of the interaction between niobium and tantalum was also investigated through phase and chemical analysis.

文摘Effective silver recovery is usually restricted by either environmental pollution or high recovery costs. To tackle the issues, this study introduces a novel method for the effective recovery of silver by utilizing the alkaline sodium thiosulfate-potassium ferricyanide leaching system. The reaction kinetics of silver dissolution in this system was investigated via the rotating disk electrode technology. The influences of important parameters, including the rotation speed, sodium thiosulfate concentration, potassium ferricyanide concentration, and temperature, on the silver dissolution rate were systematically investigated. The activation energy was measured to be 17.96 kJ·mol^(-1) when the silver dissolution was controlled by a diffusion process. When the silver dissolution was in the region of mixed control, the reaction orders of ferricyanide and thiosulfate were found to be 0.57 and 0.19, respectively, and the reaction orders of ferricyanide and thiosulfate were 0.55 and 0.22, respectively, when the silver dissolution was controlled by surface reaction. This study has great potential for the development of an environmentally friendly silver recovery process from end-of-life products.

文摘In recirculating aquaculture systems(RASs),the effective treatment of aquaculture tailwater is essential to maintain the health of the RAS.This study investigated the optimal time and method for tailwater treatment during three periods of the aquaculture of the Litopenaeus vannamei:nursery(0–26 d),middle(27–57 d),and later(57–104 d).The variation of several water parameters during the dissolution of total suspended solid(TSS)in tailwater,applied with the effects of ozone on the microorganism and water quality parameters were investigated.Results showed that the TSS concentrations in tailwater decreased with time,although not significantly(P>0.05),whereas total ammonia nitrogen(TAN),nitrite(NO-2-N),and nitrate(NO_(3)^(-)-N)increased significantly(P<0.05).Therefore,TSS should be removed from the tailwater as early as possible,being most optimal within 4 h.Ozone removed 38.24%–48.95%of TSS,17.78%–90.14%of TAN,and 87.50%–98.90%of NO-2-N after 4 h of treatment.However,it resulted in the significant accumulation of NO_(3)^(-)-N.Moreover,the total number of Vibrio and bacterial counts in aquaculture tailwater was reduced completely by ozone within 4 h.Thus,these results provided technical details and data support for the effective treatment of tailwater from shrimp RAS.

文摘Integrated simulation on dissolution of the body-centered-cubic(bcc,α)phase in the face-centered cubic(fcc,γ)matrix in the ternary Fe–Cr–Ni system is a first step toward the study of phase transformations in steels in the framework of integrated computational materials engineering.The accuracy of the simulation highly depends on the qualities of the thermodynamic data and atomic mobility.Firstly,the Fe–Cr–Ni system and its binary sub-systems were thermodynamically assessed by using the CALculation of PHAse Diagrams approach coupled with first-principles calculations,based on various types of thermodynamic data and phase diagrams from the literature.With the thermodynamics incorporated,the atomic mobilities and diffusivities of the fcc and bcc phases in the Fe–Cr–Ni system were then assessed.The calculated diffusion coefficients show a satisfactory agreement with the experimental data in a wide range of composition and temperature.Equipped with these requisite data,the diffusion-controlled bcc dissolution was finally simulated which well agrees with the experiments for different experimental conditions.

文摘The productivity of the chrome-containing semi-steel converter smelting process is directly affected by the slag-forming speed during the converter preliminary stage.The effects of Cr_(2)O_(3) content on the physicochemical properties of the CaO-SiO_(2)-Fe_(t)O-MgO system,such as melting temperature,solidification behavior,mineral composition,and lime dissolution rate,were studied.The results showed that the slag was an amorphous phase at 1500℃.When Cr_(2)O_(3) was added,Ca(Fe,Mg)Si_(2)O_(6) and spinel were formed in the slag.With the increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) content,the amount of spinel precipitation increased,and the dendritic FegO_(4) crystal gradually changed into the granular(Fe,Mg)(Fe,Cr)2O_(4) crystal.As the Cr_(2)O_(3) content increased from O to 2.91 wt.%,the melting temperature of the slag rose,and the melting range of the slag expanded slightly,but the lime dissolution rate did not change.When the Cr_(2)O_(3) content further increased to 9.09 wt.%,the melting temperature continued to rise,the melting range rapidly expanded,and the lime dissolution rate decreased.

文摘The dissolution mechanism of hemimorphite in NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O system at 298.15 K was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analysis. The results show that hemimorphite is soluble in NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O system and its residue exists in the form of an amorphous SiO2 layer on the hemimorphite surface. The XPS data also indicate that the Si 2p3/2 and O ls spectra of the hemimorphite are broadened and shift to higher binding energies and their binding energies are closer to silica with an increase of total ammonia and time. Solubility of hemimorphite in NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O system was measured by means of isothermal solution method at 298.15 K based on the study of the dissolution mechanism of hemimorphite. The results show that the solubility of zinc in solution increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of cr（NH3） （total ammonia concentration） at different NH3/NH4^＋ ratios. The solubility of silicon in solution decreases from 0.0334 mol/kg in ct（NH3）-4.1245 mol/kg NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O solution to 0.0046 mol/kg in cT（NH3）=7.6035 mol/kg NH3-（NH4）2SO4-H2O solution.

文摘To investigate the dissolution behaviors of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions in CaO-5wt%MgO-SiO_(2)-30wt%Al_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2)system ladle slags,confocal scanning laser microscopy was conducted on the slags with different TiO_(2)contents(0-10wt%),and scanning electron microscopy was performed to study the interfacial reaction between Al_(2)O_(3)and this slag system.The results disclose that the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions does not result in the formation of new phases at the boundary between the slag and the inclusions.In TiO_(2)-bearing and TiO_(2)-free ladle slags,there is no difference in the dissolution mechanism of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions at steelmaking temperatures.Boundary layer diffusion is found as the controlling step of the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3),and the diffusion coefficient is in the range of 4.18×10^(-10)to 2.18×10^(-9)m^(2)/s at 1450-1500℃.Compared with the solubility of Al_(2)O_(3)in the slags,slag viscosity and temperature play a more profound role in the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions.A lower viscosity and a lower melting point of the slags are beneficial for the dissolution.Suitable addition of TiO_(2)(e.g.,5wt%)in ladle slags can enhance the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)inclusions because of the low viscosity and melting point of the slags,while excessive addition of TiO_(2)(e.g.,10wt%)shows the opposite trend.

文摘The purpose of this study was to develop poly(amidoamine)(PAMAM)-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNTs)loaded with a poorly water-soluble drug,intended to improve the drug-loading capacity,dissolution and design a sustained release system.MWNTs were modified with a carboxyl group by acid treatment and then complex with PAMAM.PAMAM-MWNTs were investigated as a scaffold for loading the model drug,Carvedilol(CAR),using three different methods(the fusion method,the incipient wetness impregnation method,and the solvent method).The effects of different pore size,specific surface area and physical state were systematically studied using FT-IR,TGA,SEM,DSC,nitrogen adsorption,XPS and XRD.All the samples made by PAMAM-MWNTs to load the drug had a marked effect on the drug-loading capacity as well as drug dissolution,especially theⅡ-30%.
文摘Tbe N - methylmorpholine - N - oxide (NMMO) - water solvent was used to dissolve the cellulose that was achieved by means of hydrothermolysis. Sample B, RS and WS used here were made from beech, rice straw and wheat straw respectively. They could be completely dissolved in the NMMO - water system. A commercial a - cellulose was employed in the comparative experiment. The entire dissolving process was Investigated. At a given temperature, the vacuum condition applied to the mixture of the cellulose and NMMO - water was very important in order to accelerate the dissolution of cellulose and shorten the dissolving period. After dissolution, degree of polymerization (DP) of all samples was measured by viscometry. Longer dissolving time and higher temperature could cause the degradation of the dissolved cellulose. N- propyl gallate could prevent the degradation of cellulose during the process of dissolution.
文摘Elemental lead is a known toxic metal that can pose threats to human health and can be found in a variety of sources including drinking water at very low level concentrations (i.e. μg/L range). Destabilization of the corrosion scale at the inner layer of pipeline is the major source of lead in drinking water. Chemical properties of the water passing through the distribution system such as pH, alkalinity, chlorine content, oxidation reduction potential (ORP) and natural organic matters will affect the formation and/or destabilization of the corrosion scale. This research examines the impact of pH values (7.0 - 9.5), temperatures (5°C vs 20°C) and alkalinity levels (moderate vs low), in the presence of chlorine, on dissolution of hydrocerussite and cerussite in drinking water by various sets of batch dissolution experiments. The results showed dissolution of cerussite and hydrocerussite was not impacted significantly by pH ranging 7.0 - 9.5. In addition, and somewhat surprisingly, cold temperature (5°C) and moderate alkalinity showed a great influence on decreasing the solubility of lead species.
文摘The dissolution kinetics of the dissolution of iron ore in aqueous HCl/HNO3solution was studied. The elemental composition of the ore was carried out using the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). The result showed that the iron ore contain;Fe (62.1%), O (21.7%), Cu (11.1%), Mg (2.39%), Na (1.51%), Mn (1.47%), K (0.78%), Ca (0.58%) and Zn (0.01%). It was determined that the dissolution rate increased with increased solution concentration, temperature, time and decreased particle size of the ore. The optimum conditions for effective dissolution of 88% of the iron ore were found to be 8 Mof the solution, 353 K, 100 min and ore particle size of less than 75 μm. The kinetic evaluation of the dissolution process was studied using three different shrinking core models (SCM);Film diffusion: kft =XB;interfacial chemical reaction krt =?1-(1-XB)1/3?and ash/product layer diffusion :??for spherical materials was performed. The results obtained showed that the rate determining step for the dissolution process was the product layer diffusion and therefore, the reaction followed this mechanism. The apparent activation energy (Ea) and the order of reaction were found to be 20.48 kJ/mol and 0.7 respectively.
