The results show that mixed bacteria has strong ability to produce acid, and have stronger oxidation activity to energy source -Fe^2＋. Mixed bacteria can significantly increase the rate of phosphate solubilization from phosphate rock in low concentration pulp. It goes against mixed bacteria reproduction when pulp concentration increased, makes phosphate solubilization rate decreased.展开更多

The ZTS and phosphate mixed (in different mol %) ZTS crystals have been grown from aqueous solution using the slow evaporation method. Single crystal XRD were carried out for ZTS and phosphate mixed ZTS crystals to determine cell parameters. FTIR analysis identified modes of vibrations of different molecular groups and confirms the presence of phosphate ion. The UV-Vis-NIR spectrum shows that the material has wide optical transparency in the entire visible region. The second harmonic generation (SHG) was confirmed by Kurtz powder method. It is found that 10 mol % of phosphate mixed ZTS crystal has better SHG efficiency than pure ZTS crystal. The Vicker microhardness test was carried out on the grown crystals and Vicker’s Hardness Number was found increase with increase in phosphate mixing.展开更多

Phys...Three kinds of high-alumina repairing mixes for medium-frequency induction furnace were prepared by ramming method with sodium silicate, phosphoric acid and aluminium dihydrogen phosphate as binder, respectively. Physical properties of the specimens heat treated at different temperatures were tested and compared. The results show that the specimen bonded by sodium silicate behaves much higher strength after fired at 1 600 ℃ compared with the specimen, bonded by phosphoric acid or aluminium dihydrogen phosphate. Due to more liquid phase formation the properties of specimen bonded by sodium silicate are poor with a low strength and a large volume shrinkage at high temperatures. Meanwhile. the speeimen bonded by phosphoric acid and aluminium dihydrogen phosphate, respectively, show relatively high strengths and slight volume expansions at high temperatures because of in-situ mullite formation.展开更多

The title compound crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group P21/c(No.14), and features a 3D framework which can be considered as alternating layers of {Ga2(P4O(13))}n and {Ga2(P2O7)2}n^(2n-) parallel to the bc plane further connected by Ga-O-P linkages, where Cs^+ cations are located in the free space between two adjacent layers to charge the valence. The Ga^(3+) cations in the compound contain two kinds of coordination models(4 and 6). Furthermore, the title compound coexists of two phospho-ric anionic groups which are non-condensed horseshoe-shaped(P4O(13)) and two(P2O7) with different symmetries. The density functional theory calculations indicate that Cs2Ga4P8O(27) is a direct band gap insulator with flat valence and dispersive conduction bands and a band gap of 4.13 eV.展开更多
