The results in...To lower the cost of bauxite electrolysis desulfurization using NaOH solution as the supporting electrolyte, effects of electrolyte recycling on bauxite electrolysis desulfurization were investigated. The results indicate that electrode corrosion, cell voltage, the desulfurization rate and the pH value of the electrolyte have no obvious changes with the increase of cycle times. Additionally, there were some transitive valence S-containing ions in electrolyte after the electrolysis, such as SO3^2-,S2O3^2- . However, most of the sulfur in bauxite was eventually oxidized into SO4^2- into the electrolyte, and these S-containing ions did not affect the recycling utilization for electrolyte.展开更多

Experiments were carried out and the results are of great agreements with theoretical calculation. Then industrial application tests were performed in a domestic plant and good results were achieved. Sulfur content in steel decreases gradually during refining process, as a result, sulfur content in the billets is controlled in the range of 0.007 1%-0.008 1%. Sulfur content in steel refined with slag basicity of 1.21 is lower than that of 1.02, while the plasticity of oxide compound inclusions is a little better controlled in low basicity heats. Using refining slag with basicity of 1.0-1.2 and MgO content of 5%-10% and reducing the slag takeover of LD are favorable for improving the desulfurization performance and the plasticity of inclusions during the industrial production.展开更多

In this study, a new family of caprolactam-based acidic DESs was prepared with different molar ratios of caprolactam and oxalic acid. The prepared DESs were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric analyses. These DESs were employed for oxidative desulfurization reactions and the desulfurization efficiency was found to vary regularly with the DES composition. The factors influencing the removal of dibenzothiophene were systematically investigated and the desulfurization efficiency of the caprolactam-based acidic DESs reached as high as 98% under optimal conditions. The removal of different sulfur compounds followed the order： dibenzothiophene 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene benzothiophene. The combined experimental data and characterization results revealed that the oxidative desulfurization efficiency of the system was influenced by the hydrogen bonding interactions with the DES, which can be optimized by adjusting the DES composition. These findings regarding hydrogen bonding in DESs provide new insight for better understanding of the mechanism of diesel deep desulfurization processes.展开更多

Flotation results showed that NaOL alone had good collecting performance on smithsonite and common gangue mineral dolomite but had poor selectivity. By using a BHA/NaOL mixed system with a molar ratio of 2:1, the recoveries of smithsonite and dolomite reached approximately 90% and 5%, respectively. Surface tension analysis showed that the surface activity of BHOA was a little higher than that of a single NaOL because of synergistic effects. Zeta potential and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicated that surfactants BHA and NaOL co-absorbed on the smithsonite surface and only NaOL was present on the dolomite surface in the presence of BHOA.展开更多

In the sulfurization of Tb_4O_7 powder, Tb_2O_3 and Tb_2O_2S were formed in the initial stage of reaction, and α-Tb_2S_3 was finally formed at higher temperature. For long sulfurization time of 8 h, single-phase α-Tb_2S_3 could be synthesized at 1323 K. In the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas, only Ho_2O_2S was formed as an intermediate product. At a sulfurization temperature above 873 K, Ho_2O_2S was formed in the initial stage of reaction, and single-phase δ-Ho_2S_3 was formed at 1323 K for 8 h instead of Ho_2O_2S. Furthermore, the influence of the addition of carbon black to the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas was investigated, and the result implied that the reactions were accelerated slightly by the addition of carbon black.展开更多

The results showed that in the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem, soil was the main storage compartment and current hinge of sulfur in which 98.4% sulfur was accumulated, while only 1.6% sulfur was accumulated in the plant compartment. In the plant subsystem, roots and litters were the main storage compartment of sulfur and they remained 83.5% of the total plant sulfur. The calculations of sulfur turnover through the compartments of the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem demonstrated that the above-ground component took up 0.99 gS/m^2 from the root, of which 0.16 gS/m^2 was translocated to the roots and 0.83 gS/m^2 to the litter. The roots took in 1.05 gS/m^2 from the soil, subsequent translocation back to the soil accounted for 1.31 gS/m^2, while there was 1.84 gS/m^2 in the litter and the net transfer of sulfur to the soil was more than 0.44 gS/（m^2·a）. The emission of H2S from the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem to the atmosphere was 1.83 mgS/（m^2·a）, while carbonyl sulfide （COS） was absorbed by the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem from the atmosphere at the rate of 1.76 mgS/（m^2·a）. The input of sulfur by the rainfall to the ecosystem was 4.85 mgS/m^2 during the growing season. The difference between input and output was 4.78 mgS/m^2, which indicated that sulfur was accumulated in the ecosystem and may cause wetland acidify in the future.展开更多

In this way, nitrate is converted into nitrogen. In addition, ThiobaciWus denitrificans can accumulate sulfur extracellularly. In this study, in a process of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification, a strain of Thiobacillus denitriificans is employed as sulfur-producer in the treatment of wastewater containing sulfide and nitrate. The key factors affecting this process are investigated through batch tests. The experimental results indicate that the sulfide concentration and the ratio of sulfide to nitrate (S2-/NO3-) in the influent are the key factors, and their suitable values are suggested to be 5/3 and no more than 300mg·L-1, respectively, in order to achieve high conversion of sulfur.展开更多

文摘Bismuth(Bi)anodes have been widely investigated for potential application in sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their ultrahigh theoretical volumetric capacity(3800 mAh cm^(-3))and suitable sodiation potential(0.5-0.7 V).Unfortunately,either Bi or Bi-based compounds still face tricky challenges of unsatisfying reversible capacity(<350 mAh g^(-1))and inferior initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE,<70%).Herein,a controllable trace-sulfurization strategy is proposed to address these challenges by developing a yolkshell Bi/Bi_(2)S_(3)heterostructure encapsulated within S-doped carbon shells(TS-Bi/C).This approach strategically incorporates a trace amount of high-capacity Bi_(2)S_(3)phase with metallic Bi,consequently building regional Bi/Bi_(2)S_(3)heterointerfaces for enhancing interfacial charge transfer and sodium storage reversibility.Moreover,a thin and homogeneous solid electrolyte film(~5 nm)was formed on the surface of TS-Bi/C during the initial discharge-charge process.These merits result in an approximate 30%increase in ICE of TS-Bi/C(87.4%)compared to pure Bi/C(57,6%)when employed as anodes in SIBs,together with boosted discharge capacity of 462.3 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)and high rate capability of 382.4 mAh g^(-1)at 10 A g^(-1).Importantly,as compared to both Bi/C and Bi_(2)S_(3)/C counterparts,TS-Bi/C can deliver superior volumetric capacity as high as 1553 mAh cm^(-3)owing to its considerable tap density of 3.43 g cm^(-3).

Additionally, there were some transitive valence S-containing ions in electrolyte after the electrolysis, such as SO3^2-,S2O3^2- . However, most of the sulfur in bauxite was eventually oxidized into SO4^2- into the electrolyte, and these S-containing ions did not affect the recycling utilization for electrolyte.

文摘Desulfurization performance with low binary basicity refining slag in 72 grade tire cord steel was calculated using FactSage and it is found that sulfur content in steel decreases with the increase of basicity of slag, MgO content in slag and slag/steel ratio while sulfur partition ratio between slag and steel increases gradually with the increase of basicity of slag as well as MgO content. Experiments were carried out and the results are of great agreements with theoretical calculation. Then industrial application tests were performed in a domestic plant and good results were achieved. Sulfur content in steel decreases gradually during refining process, as a result, sulfur content in the billets is controlled in the range of 0.007 1%-0.008 1%. Sulfur content in steel refined with slag basicity of 1.21 is lower than that of 1.02, while the plasticity of oxide compound inclusions is a little better controlled in low basicity heats. Using refining slag with basicity of 1.0-1.2 and MgO content of 5%-10% and reducing the slag takeover of LD are favorable for improving the desulfurization performance and the plasticity of inclusions during the industrial production.

文摘Despite the significance of hydrogen bonding in deep eutectic solvents（DESs） for desulfurization processes, little is understood about the relationship between the DES composition, hydrogen-bonding strength, and oxidative desulfurization activity. In this study, a new family of caprolactam-based acidic DESs was prepared with different molar ratios of caprolactam and oxalic acid. The prepared DESs were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric analyses. These DESs were employed for oxidative desulfurization reactions and the desulfurization efficiency was found to vary regularly with the DES composition. The factors influencing the removal of dibenzothiophene were systematically investigated and the desulfurization efficiency of the caprolactam-based acidic DESs reached as high as 98% under optimal conditions. The removal of different sulfur compounds followed the order： dibenzothiophene 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene benzothiophene. The combined experimental data and characterization results revealed that the oxidative desulfurization efficiency of the system was influenced by the hydrogen bonding interactions with the DES, which can be optimized by adjusting the DES composition. These findings regarding hydrogen bonding in DESs provide new insight for better understanding of the mechanism of diesel deep desulfurization processes.

文摘In this work,the growth of copper sulfide crystal onto azurite surfaces during sulfurization and its response to flotation are investigated.Filed emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(FESEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) studies confirmed that the sulfurization of azurite is not limited to the mineral surface,but rather penetrates into the bulk to form covellite crystal(synCuS),creating favorable conditions for the stable adsorption of xanthate and greatly promoting the azurite flotation.Additionally,as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF-SIMS) analyses,a redox reaction occurred during this process,and Cu(Ⅱ) onto the mineral surface was reduced to Cu(Ⅰ).Correspondingly,reduced S^(2-) was oxidized to(S_(2))^(2-),(S_n)^(-2),and even to deeper oxidation state S~0,(S_(x)O_(y))^(n-) and SO_(4)^(2-).Excess sodium sulfide strengthens copper sulfide to form onto the azurite surface,and provides enough raw material for crystal copper sulfide to grow,resulting in the formation of "flake-like" covellite with a better crystallinity.However,the floatability of azurite decreased dramatically under this condition,because the generated massive colloidal copper sulfide in flotation pulp deteriorates the flotation environment,resulting in a decreased effective adsorption of collector onto azurite surfaces.

文摘A novel mixed collector (BHOA) was prepared by mixing benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) and sodium oleate (NaOL) and applied to the flotation separation of smithsonite from dolomite. Flotation results showed that NaOL alone had good collecting performance on smithsonite and common gangue mineral dolomite but had poor selectivity. By using a BHA/NaOL mixed system with a molar ratio of 2:1, the recoveries of smithsonite and dolomite reached approximately 90% and 5%, respectively. Surface tension analysis showed that the surface activity of BHOA was a little higher than that of a single NaOL because of synergistic effects. Zeta potential and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicated that surfactants BHA and NaOL co-absorbed on the smithsonite surface and only NaOL was present on the dolomite surface in the presence of BHOA.

文摘In this study,the role of(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)during the sulfurization of azurite and its response to flotation were investigated.The flotation results showed that adding(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)prior to sulfurization decreased the formation of colloid in flotation pulp,and the floatability of the suppressed azurite caused by excess sodium sulfide was restored.After adding(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)prior to sulfurization,the formation of Cu(NH_(3))_(n) ^(2+)intermediate products changed the path of the sulfurization reaction,which slowed the direct impact of HSon the azurite surface.The nucleation rate was reduced,and the growth of copper sulfide crystal was improved.Covellite(syn,CuS)with larger crystal grains was formed on the azurite surface,thereby enhancing the mechanical stability of copper sulfide products onto the mineral surface.Therefore,the generated copper sulfide colloid significantly reduced,ultimately promoting the effective adsorption of xanthate on the azurite surface.

文摘Bauxite is the main raw material of the alumina industry.However,high-sulfur bauxite constitutes a relatively large proportion of bauxite resource in China.Excessive sulfur impurities in bauxite have significant impact on the Bayer process,such as corrosion of equipment and pipelines,increased consumption of alkali,and difficulties in sedimentation of red mud particles after digestion.As the mainstreams of bauxite desulfurization technologies,the bauxite pre-desulfurization(roasting,electrochemistry,biology,flotation,etc)and Bayer process desulfurization(oxidation and precipitation)need to be fully understood for the further improvement of desulfurization performance.Here,an in-depth review on their mechanisms and advantages/disadvantages is presented.
文摘The formation behaviors of terbium sesquisulfide(Tb_2S_3)and holmium sesquisulfide(Ho_2S_3)synthesized via the sulfurization of their oxide powders using CS_2 gas in the range of temperature 673 to 1323 K were investigated. In the sulfurization of Tb_4O_7 powder, Tb_2O_3 and Tb_2O_2S were formed in the initial stage of reaction, and α-Tb_2S_3 was finally formed at higher temperature. For long sulfurization time of 8 h, single-phase α-Tb_2S_3 could be synthesized at 1323 K. In the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas, only Ho_2O_2S was formed as an intermediate product. At a sulfurization temperature above 873 K, Ho_2O_2S was formed in the initial stage of reaction, and single-phase δ-Ho_2S_3 was formed at 1323 K for 8 h instead of Ho_2O_2S. Furthermore, the influence of the addition of carbon black to the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas was investigated, and the result implied that the reactions were accelerated slightly by the addition of carbon black.
文摘The sulfur cycle and its compartmental distribution within an atmosphere-plant-soil system was studied using a compartment model in the typical meadow Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland in the Sanjiang Plain Northeast China. The results showed that in the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem, soil was the main storage compartment and current hinge of sulfur in which 98.4% sulfur was accumulated, while only 1.6% sulfur was accumulated in the plant compartment. In the plant subsystem, roots and litters were the main storage compartment of sulfur and they remained 83.5% of the total plant sulfur. The calculations of sulfur turnover through the compartments of the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem demonstrated that the above-ground component took up 0.99 gS/m^2 from the root, of which 0.16 gS/m^2 was translocated to the roots and 0.83 gS/m^2 to the litter. The roots took in 1.05 gS/m^2 from the soil, subsequent translocation back to the soil accounted for 1.31 gS/m^2, while there was 1.84 gS/m^2 in the litter and the net transfer of sulfur to the soil was more than 0.44 gS/（m^2·a）. The emission of H2S from the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem to the atmosphere was 1.83 mgS/（m^2·a）, while carbonyl sulfide （COS） was absorbed by the typical meadow C. angustifolia wetland ecosystem from the atmosphere at the rate of 1.76 mgS/（m^2·a）. The input of sulfur by the rainfall to the ecosystem was 4.85 mgS/m^2 during the growing season. The difference between input and output was 4.78 mgS/m^2, which indicated that sulfur was accumulated in the ecosystem and may cause wetland acidify in the future.

文摘The reactive adsorption behavior of thiophene on the reduced Ni/ZnO sample was investigated by a combination of theoretical and experimental study.It is widely accepted that Ni is responsible for the sulfur-removal of thiophene to release S-free hydrocarbons.Such surface reaction was simulated by DFT method.It is demonstrated that thiophene is mainly adsorbed as p-complexation mode over metallic Ni.During desulfurization,the Se Ni bond is formed and the Ce S bond is thus split without pre-hydrogenation,resulting in the formation of Ni_(3)S_(2)phase and S-free C4 olefin which can be further saturated in the presence of H_(2).The S-transfer between Ni_(3)S_(2)and ZnO was monitored by in-situ XRD and STEM with EDS mapping.Two essential features were identified for efficient S-transfer,namely,1)the H_(2)atmosphere,and 2)the two phases are presented with close contact.Based on the acquired information,a general scenario of sulfur trail has been proposed for the desulfurization of thiophene on Ni/ZnO.

文摘An environmentally friendly and resource-conserving route to the clean production of electrolytic manganese was developed,in which the electrolytic manganese residue(EMR)was initially calcined for cement buffering;then the generated SO2-containing flue gas was managed using manganese oxide ore and anolyte(MOOA)desulfurization;at last,the desulfurized slurry was introduced to the electrolytic manganese production(EMP).Results showed that 4.0 wt%coke addition reduced the sulfur of calcined EMR to 0.9%,thereby satisfying the cement-buffer requirement.Pilot-scale desulfurization showed that about 7.5 vol%of high SO2 containing flue gas can be cleaned to less than 0.1 vol%through a five-stage countercurrent MOOA desulfurization.The desulfurized slurry had 42.44 g·L-Mn2+and 1.92 g·L-1 S2 O62-,which was suitable for electrowinning after purification,and the purity of manganese product was 99.93%,satisfy the National Standard of China YB/T051-2015.This new integrated technology fulfilled 99.7%of sulfur reutilization from the EMR and 94.1%was effectively used to the EMP.The MOOA desulfurization linked the EMP a closed cycle without any pollutant discharge,which promoted the cleaner production of EMP industry.

文摘Thiobacillus denitrificans, a kind of autotrophic facultative bacteria, can oxidize sulfide into elemental sulfur or sulfate when nitrate was adopted as its electron accepter and carbon dioxide as its carbon resource under anoxic or anaerobic environment. In this way, nitrate is converted into nitrogen. In addition, ThiobaciWus denitrificans can accumulate sulfur extracellularly. In this study, in a process of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification, a strain of Thiobacillus denitriificans is employed as sulfur-producer in the treatment of wastewater containing sulfide and nitrate. The key factors affecting this process are investigated through batch tests. The experimental results indicate that the sulfide concentration and the ratio of sulfide to nitrate (S2-/NO3-) in the influent are the key factors, and their suitable values are suggested to be 5/3 and no more than 300mg·L-1, respectively, in order to achieve high conversion of sulfur.
