The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and the piezoelectric properties was investigated by XRD, SEM, and other conventional measurement. The result indicated that with temperature increasing, the valence of Cr ion from Cr5+ or Cr6+ changes into C3+, and the piezoelectric properties turn hard. With increasing Cr2O3 content, the amount of rhombohedral phases increases and the morphotropic boundary phase is correspondingly shifts to rhombohedral phase. A uniform microstructure and excellent comprehensive properties were obtained at 1240 degrees C as the amount of Cr2O3 is 0.5 wt.%.展开更多

It was found that 10%Ni/Al_2O_3 catalyst treated by plasma presents ahigher catalytic activity and an enhanced stability than the catalysts prepared without plasmatreatment. The methane conversion over the catalyst treated by plasma is 3%-5% higher than thecatalysts untreated by plasma. Moreover, the enhanced dispersion of the catalyst can be achieved byplasma treatment, which can improve the interaction between active species and supports, catalyticactivity and the resistance to carbon deposition.展开更多

Hydrogen was observed to be transferred preferentially to some fixed positions in PAs and different PAs displayed some difference in hydrogenation reactivity. The results can be interpreted on the hydrogen accepting ability of carbon atoms from different positions in PAs and the resonance stability of aryl radicals resulting from H atom addition as well as the adsorption strength of PAs on catalyst surface.展开更多

With the deepening of people’s recognition about the pollution problem of fly ash, the ways of utilizing fly ash are gradually increasing. Utilizing value of fly ash is closely related to the unburned carbon content.On the basis of analysis of modern testing method,a fundamental thinking is theoretically posed for decreasing unburned carbon content from fly ash by a dry removing carbon technology. The triboelectric separation method shown that the above mentioned thinking of dry removing carbon from fly ash is practical.展开更多

Air sparging performance highly depends on the air distribution resulting in the aquifer. In order to study gas flow characterization, a two-dimensional experimental chamber was designed and installed. In addition, the method by using acetylene as the tracer to directly image the gas distribution results of AS process has been put forward. Experiments were performed with different injected gas flow rates. The gas flow patterns were found to depend significantly on the injected gas flow rate, and the characterization of gas flow distributions in porous media was very different from the acetylene tracing study. Lower and higher gas flow rates generally yield more irregular in shape and less effective gas distributions.展开更多

The regioselectivity of propylene polymerization was investigated by replacing a nitrogen atom in the Pd(II) diimine catalyst with an oxygen atom from density functional theory method at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. The results show that the 1,2-insertion becomes a rival mechanism to the 2,1-insertion when the nitrogen atom is replaced by the oxygen atom leading to an asymmetric environment in the catalyst, and that the steric effect in the asymmetrical catalyst plays an important part in the polymerization. The insertion barrier from 2-O is much higher than that from 2-N. A pyramid transition state was characterized for the catalyst to convert 2-O back to 2-N through internal rotation. The propylene prefers to coordinate at the opposite side of O in the catalyst. This is the driving force for the internal rotation. The results are significant for isotactic and syndiotactic polymerization.展开更多

De-HCl rate was calculated by determining the emission fraction of HCl in the flue gas and the fraction of Cl left in the pyrolysis residue. The results show that Cl in the d-RDF releases primarily in the form of HCl during the pyrolysis, and the initial releasing temperature of HCl enhances with the increase of heating rate. Meanwhile, the higher the end temperature of pyrolysis, the more the Cl released. De-HCl rate is about 70% when the end temperature of pyrolysis is around 600℃. Besides, mechanism of Cl release is dis-cussed.展开更多

Up to present, various synthesis methods of zeolite mem- branes have been developed, including embedded method, in-situ hydrothermal synthesis method, and secondary growth method etc. Compared with the in-situ hydrothermal synthesis method, the secondary growth method possesses a variety of advantages such as easier operation, higher con- trollability in crystal orientation, microstructure and film thickness, leading to much better reproducibility. This review provides a concise summary and analysis of various synthesis methods reported in the literature. In particular, the secon- dary growth method was discussed in detail in terms of crys- tal orientation, defects and crystal grain layers. Some critical issues were also highlighted, which were conducive to the improvement in the synthesis technology of zeolite mem- branes.展开更多

Optical mi-croscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to examine the structure of the MCMB. It has been found that SEM technique shows the structural information of MCMB clearly in the form of micrographs even when the structure of MCMB is complex, while the optical technique is useful for analysis of the regular structure of the mesophase spheres but cannot be effectively used to analyze either the complex structure of the green MCMB or the structures of the further heat-treated ones at different temperatures. Ac-cording to the characteristics of the carbon layers, the struc-tures of the as-prepared MCMB in the present experiment could be classified as (1) Parallel Layer type structure and (2) Bent Layer type structure with the carbon layers gathering at one or two points in the MCMB. In the experiments, SEM is also utilized to investigate the structures of MCMB that are heat-treated at different temperatures. It has been found that the MCMB without any further heat-treatment show no layered-carbons, while the ones heat-treated at temperature higher than 1000℃ exhibit obvious layered carbons across their sections. When increasing the heat-treatment tempera-ture, the carbon layers become thinner and flatter.展开更多
