However, traditional experimental screening methods are inefficient and resource-intensive. The article provides a comprehensive overview of various ML algorithms, including artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting trees (GBT), etc., which have demonstrated exceptional performance in handling complex and high-dimensional data. Furthermore, the integration of ML with quantum chemical calculations and conductor-like screening model-real solvent (COSMO-RS) has significantly enhanced predictive accuracy, enabling the rapid screening and design of novel solvents. Besides, recent ML applications in the prediction and design of ILs and DESs focused on solubility, melting point, electrical conductivity, and other physicochemical properties become more and more. This paper emphasizes the potential of ML in solvent design, overviewing an efficient approach to accelerate the development of sustainable and high-performance materials, providing guidance for their widespread application in a variety of industrial processes.展开更多

SEM, EDS and Raman spectra analyses were applied to studying the adsorption capacity, reaction kinetics and possible adsorption mechanism in detail. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of D301 resin for molybdenum from high acidic leach solution was up to 463.63 mg/g. Results of the kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was controlled by the particle diffusion with the activation energy 25.47 k J/mol(0.9-1.2 mm) and 20.38 k J/mol(0.6-0.9 mm). Furthermore, the molybdenum loaded on the resin could be eluted by using 2 mol/L ammonia hydroxide solution. Besides, dynamic continuous column experiments verified direct extraction of molybdenum from acidic leach solutions by ion exchange resin D301 and the upstream flow improved dynamic continuous absorption.展开更多

The transformation and migration of the Cr in this system is comprehensively studied in this research. The results illustrated that the co-composting treatment can reduce the Cr availability from 39%(F1 was about 31% of total, F2 was about 8% of total) to less than 2% by stabilizing the Cr. However, herbaceous plants can accumulate the concentrations of Cr from 113.8 to 265.2 mg/kg in the two crops,even though the concentration of soluble Cr in the substrate soil was below 0.1 mg/L.Cr can be assimilated and easily transferred in the tissues of plants because the lowmolecular-weight organic-acids(LMWOAs) derived from the plant root increase the bioavailability of Cr. The amount of extracted Cr dramatically increased when the organic acids were substituted in this order: citric acid 〉 malic acid 〉 tartaric acid 〉 oxalic acid 〉acetic acid. On average the maximum(147.4 mg/kg) and the minimum(78.75 mg/kg) Cr were extracted by 20 mmol/L citric acid and acetic acid, respectively. The desorption of Cr in different acid solutions can be predicted by the pseudo second-order kinetics. The exchangeable Cr, carbonate-bound Cr, and residual Cr decreased, while Fe–Mn oxide bound Cr and organic bound Cr increased in the soil solid phase. According to the experimental results, the organic acids will promote the desorption and chelation processes of Cr, leading to the remobilization of Cr in the soil.展开更多

文摘Low-temperature hydrogenation of silicon tetrachloride(STC)is an essential step in polysilicon production.The addition of CuCl to silicon powder is currently a commonly used catalytic method and the silicon powder acts as both a reactant and a catalyst.However,the reaction mechanism and the structure-activity relationship of this process have not been fully elucidated.In this work,a comprehensive study of the reaction mechanism in the presence of Si and Cu_(3)Si was carried out using density functional theory(DFT)combined with experiments,respectively.The results indicated that the ratedetermining step(RDS)in the presence of Si is the phase transition of Si atom,meanwhile,the RDS in the presence of Cu_(3)Si is the TCS-generation process.The activation barrier of the latter is smaller,highlighting that the interaction of Si with the bulk phase is the pivotal factor influencing the catalytic activity.The feasibility of transition metal doping to facilitate this step was further investigated.The Si disengage energy(E_(d))was used as a quantitative parameter to assess the catalytic activity of the catalysts,and the optimal descriptor was determined through interpretable machine learning.It was demonstrated that d-band center and electron transfer play a crucial role in regulating the level of Ed.This work reveals the mechanism and structure-activity relationship for the low-temperature hydrogenation reaction of STC,and provides a basis for the rational design of catalysts.

文摘In this study,a cleaner method for separation and recovery of V/W/Na in waste selective catalytic reduction(SCR)catalyst alkaline leaching solution was proposed.The method involved membrane electrolysis followed by ion morphology pretreatme nt and solvent extraction.An acidic V(Ⅴ)/W(Ⅵ)solution was obtained using the me mbrane electrolysis method without adding any other chemical reagents.In addition,Na was recovered in the form of NaOH by product,avoiding the generation of Na containing wastewater.The electrolysis parameters were investigated,the lowest power consumption of 3063 kW·h·t^(-1)NaOH was obtained at a current density of 125 A·m^(-2)and an initial NaOH concentration of 2 mol·L^(-1).After electrolysis,oxalic acid was added to the acidic V/W containing solution,converting V(Ⅴ)negative ion to V(Ⅳ)positive ion.Since W(Ⅵ)ion state remained in negative form,the generation of heteropolyacid ions(W_(x)V_(y)O_(z)^(n-))was prevented.It was found that under the condition of oxalic acid addition/theoretical consumption 1.2 and reaction temperature 75℃,100%V(Ⅴ)was co nverted to V(Ⅳ4).Using 10%N263+10%noctanol+80%sulfonated kerosene as extractant,the highest W(Ⅵ)/V(Ⅳ)separation coefficient of 7559.76was obtained at pH=1.8,O:A ratio=1:1 and extraction time 15 min.With 2 mol·L^(-1)NaOH as stripping reagent,the W stripping efficiency reached 98.50%at O:A ratio=2:1 after 4-stages of stripping.The enrichment of V remained in the solution was realized using P204 as extractant and 20%(mass)H_(2)SO_(4)as stripping reagent.The parameters of extraction/stripping process were investigated,using 10%P204+10%TBP+80%sulfonated kerosene as extractant,the V extraction efficiency reached 97.50%at O:A ratio=1:2after 4 stages of extraction.Using 20%H_(2)SO_(4)as the stripping reagent,the V stripping efficiency was 98.30%at an O:A ratio of 4:1 after five stage s of stripping.After the entire process,a high-purity VOSO_(4)and Na_(2)WO_(4)product solutions were obtained with V/W recovery efficiency 95.84%/98.50%,separately.This study examined a more effective and cleaner method for separating V/W/Na in Na_(2)WO_(4)/NaVO_(3)solution,which may serve as a reference for the separation and recovery of V/W/Na in waste SCR catalysts.

文摘Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green solvents have attracted dramatic attention recently due to their highly tunable properties. However, traditional experimental screening methods are inefficient and resource-intensive. The article provides a comprehensive overview of various ML algorithms, including artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting trees (GBT), etc., which have demonstrated exceptional performance in handling complex and high-dimensional data. Furthermore, the integration of ML with quantum chemical calculations and conductor-like screening model-real solvent (COSMO-RS) has significantly enhanced predictive accuracy, enabling the rapid screening and design of novel solvents. Besides, recent ML applications in the prediction and design of ILs and DESs focused on solubility, melting point, electrical conductivity, and other physicochemical properties become more and more. This paper emphasizes the potential of ML in solvent design, overviewing an efficient approach to accelerate the development of sustainable and high-performance materials, providing guidance for their widespread application in a variety of industrial processes.

文摘To provide optimization strategies for chalcopyrite ammonia heap leaching processes,the key factors influencing chalcopyrite ammonia leaching kinetics were investigated under sealed reactor and controlled redox potential at ambient temperature.The results indicated that redox potential,particle size,and pH significantly affected chalcopyrite dissolution rates.The reaction orders with respect to particle size and hydroxyl ion concentration c(OH−)were determined to be−2.39 and 0.55,respectively.Temperature exhibited a marginal effect on chalcopyrite dissolution within the range of 25−45℃.The ammonium carbonate medium proved more favorable for chalcopyrite leaching than ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate systems.Surface deposits on the residues were identified as porous iron oxides,predominantly hematite and ferrihydrite,which produced diffusion barriers during leaching.Shrinking core model analysis revealed that the second stage of reaction was controlled by product-layer diffusion,which was further confirmed by the low activation energy(10.18 kJ/mol).

文摘The adsorption behavior of ion exchange resin D301 in the extraction of hexavalent molybdenum from high acidic leach solution was investigated. SEM, EDS and Raman spectra analyses were applied to studying the adsorption capacity, reaction kinetics and possible adsorption mechanism in detail. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of D301 resin for molybdenum from high acidic leach solution was up to 463.63 mg/g. Results of the kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was controlled by the particle diffusion with the activation energy 25.47 k J/mol(0.9-1.2 mm) and 20.38 k J/mol(0.6-0.9 mm). Furthermore, the molybdenum loaded on the resin could be eluted by using 2 mol/L ammonia hydroxide solution. Besides, dynamic continuous column experiments verified direct extraction of molybdenum from acidic leach solutions by ion exchange resin D301 and the upstream flow improved dynamic continuous absorption.

文摘A soil–plant biological system was developed from chromium(Cr) polluted soil treated by the compost-phytoremediation method. The transformation and migration of the Cr in this system is comprehensively studied in this research. The results illustrated that the co-composting treatment can reduce the Cr availability from 39%(F1 was about 31% of total, F2 was about 8% of total) to less than 2% by stabilizing the Cr. However, herbaceous plants can accumulate the concentrations of Cr from 113.8 to 265.2 mg/kg in the two crops,even though the concentration of soluble Cr in the substrate soil was below 0.1 mg/L.Cr can be assimilated and easily transferred in the tissues of plants because the lowmolecular-weight organic-acids(LMWOAs) derived from the plant root increase the bioavailability of Cr. The amount of extracted Cr dramatically increased when the organic acids were substituted in this order: citric acid 〉 malic acid 〉 tartaric acid 〉 oxalic acid 〉acetic acid. On average the maximum(147.4 mg/kg) and the minimum(78.75 mg/kg) Cr were extracted by 20 mmol/L citric acid and acetic acid, respectively. The desorption of Cr in different acid solutions can be predicted by the pseudo second-order kinetics. The exchangeable Cr, carbonate-bound Cr, and residual Cr decreased, while Fe–Mn oxide bound Cr and organic bound Cr increased in the soil solid phase. According to the experimental results, the organic acids will promote the desorption and chelation processes of Cr, leading to the remobilization of Cr in the soil.

文摘To reduce the power consumption and improve the mixing performance in stirred tanks,two improved disc turbines namely swept-back parabolic disc turbine(SPDT)and staggered fan-shaped parabolic disc turbine(SFPDT)are developed.After validation of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model with experimental results,CFD simulations are carried out to study the flow pattern,mean velocity,power consumption,pumping capacity and mixing efficiency of the improved and traditional impellers in a dished-bottom tank under turbulent flow conditions,The results indicate that compared with the commonly used parabolic disc turbine(PDT),the power number of proposed SPDT and SFPDT impellers is reduced by 43%and 12%,and the pumping efficiency is increased by 68%and 13%,respectively.Furthermore,under the same power consumption(0-700 W·m^(-3)),the mixing performance of both SPDT and SFPDT is also superior to that of Rushton turbine and PDT.
文摘Proper treatment of acidleaching tailings(ALTs)of vanadiumbearing stone coal minerals is of great urgency.One approach is adding it into the raw materials during the preparation of lightweight aggregate(LWA).But clay is always needed.In this paper,another solid waste,red mud,was mixed with ALTs as a source of flux components instead of clay.Evaluation of the physical characteristics,morphological structures,as well as crystal phases during the sintering process were investigated.When their mixtures with a proper ratio were sintered at 1080℃,a glassy phase with certain viscosity was formed,and the gases generated simultaneously were encapsulated by the melt.Finally,LWA with a onehour water absorption as low as 1.46%,a bulk density as low as 728.76 kgm 3 and a compressive strength as high as 10.77 MPa was fabricated.
