Hydrogen and syngas production from two-step steam reforming of methane over CeO2-Fe2O3 oxygen carrier

Two-step steam reforming of methane(SRM)is a novel chemical looping process towards the production of pure hydrogen and syngas(synthesis gas),consisting ofa syngas production step and a water-splitting step.Renewable energy can be used to drive this process for hydrogen production,especially solar energy.CeO2-Fe2O3 complex oxide oxygen carrier was prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by means of X-ray diffractometer(XRD),Raman spectroscopy(Raman)and hydrogen programmed reduction(H2-TPR).CH4temperature programmed and isothermal reactions were adopted to test syngas production reactivity,and water splitting reaction was employed to investigate water-splitting activity.Moreover,two-step SRM performance was evaluated by a successive redox cycle.The results showed that CO-uncontaminated H2 and highly selective syngas(with H2/CO ratio close to 2)could be respectively obtained from two steps,and CeFeO3 formation was found in the first redox cycle and proved to be enhanced by the redox treatment.After 10 successive cycles,obvious CeFeO3 phase was detected,which may be responsible for favorable successive redox cycle performances.     

Effect of erbium on properties and microstructure of Al-Si eutectic alloy

Eutectic Al-12.6 wt.%Si alloys with various contents of the rare earth dement Er were prepared by the conventional casting technique.The effect of Er on the microstructure and properties of the eutectic Al-Si alloys was investigated using optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy as well as the friction and wear tests.It was found that the addition of Er obviously improved the anti-wear properties,and reduced the friction coefficient of the alloys.The appropriate addition of Er would change the size and shape of the eutectic silicon,and thereby refine the microstructure of the Al-Si alloys.The refinement mechanism was also discussed.

Effect of Vanadium Microalloying on the HAZ Microstructure and Properties of Low Carbon Steels

Four Steels,C-Mn-0.05V,C-Mn-0.11V,C-Mn-0.03Nb and C-Mn were subjected to heat treatment to simulate the microstructure of a coarse grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) and an intercritically reheated coarse grained heat affected zone (ICCGHAZ).This involved reheating to 1350°C,rapid cooling (Δt 8/5 =24s) to room temperature and then reheating to either 750°C or 800°C.The toughness of the HAZs was assessed using both Charpy and CTOD tests.Microstructural features were characterised by optical,scanning` and transmission electron microscopy.Fractographic examinations of the Charpy and CTOD specimens were carried out to understand the micromechanism of fracture under different microstructural and test conditions.The CGHAZ toughness was similar for the steels except that Steel C-Mn-0.05V had a slightly lower ITT compared to the others.The toughness deteriorated in the ICCGHAZ for all the steels,again Steel C-Mn-0.05V had a superior toughness compared to the other three steels in both ICCGHAZ conditions.Raising the level of vanadium to 0.11% caused a decrease in ICCGHAZ toughness.Steel C-Mn-Nb exhibited a greater degradation of impact toughness after the intercritical cycles.The presence of M-A constituents was the dominant factor in determining the toughness of the ICCGHAZs.The size and area fraction of the M-A constituents were the smallest in Steel C-Mn-0.05V.Increasing vanadium level to 0.11% resulted in a greater area fraction of the M-A constituents,larger average and maximum sizes of M-A particles,and significantly more fields containing the M-A.The addition of 0.031% Nb produced the largest M-A particles and the greatest area fraction for the steels tested.

Effect of titanium addition on the magnetic property of Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite alloys

Rapidly solidified nanocrystalline α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B alloys with enhanced coercivity were obtained by melt spinning.The effects of Ti addition on the microstructore and magnetic properties of the nanocomposite α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID)magnetometer.The analysis of XRD showed that Vα-Fe estimated to be about 35.3% in the Ti-free α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposites decreased down to 26.5% as the addition of was 5 at.% Ti.Accordingly,adding Ti resulted in relevant improvements of magnetic properties,especially of the coercivity Hc from 595 kA/m up to 1006 kA/m.The dependence of Mirrev(H)/2Mr on the reverse field H indicated that nucleation was the dominating mechanism for the magnetization reversal in these nanocomposites.The analysis of the temperature dependence of the demagnetization curve in the α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposite magnets indicated that a reduction of αex could play a leading role in an increase in the coercivity of Ti-doped sample.

Thermal and radiative characteristics of oxyfluoride glass singly doped with lanthanide ions

Rare earths-doped oxyfluoride glasses based on germanium oxide and lead fluoride were prepared from commercial raw materials. The glasses with general composition of 50GeO2-(50-x-y)PbO-yPbF2-xLnF3 (Ln=Pr3+-Yb3+), contained different concentrations of optically active dopants (x=0.2 mol.% and 2 mol.%) and PbF2 (y≤15 mol.%). The differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used to determine both thermal characteristic and thermal stability properties of the glasses in the function of the kind of dopant, its concentration, and a glass composition. Characteristic glass temperatures such as glass transition temperature (Tg), glass crystallization temperature (Tc) and temperature corresponding to the maximum of the crystallization rate (Tpc) were evaluated. On the basis of obtained results, the thermal stabilities of glasses under study were evaluated using various thermal stability criteria (Dietzel factor ?T, Saad-Poulain factors H' and S). It was found that the increase in rare earth fluoride contents influenced thermal characteristics when the characteristic temperatures of the individual glass was shifted towards higher values. The effect of the PbF2 content and the kind of rare earth impurity on the glass stability was observed. Absorption spectra of lanthanide-doped glasses were measured at room temperature and used to determine the phenomenological intensity parameters Ωt and next, to estimate radiative properties of lanthanide ions in this matrix. Radiative transition probabilities of luminescent states of Ln3+, branching ratios and radiative lifetimes were determined. The variation of the Ωt along the lanthanide series was presented and discussed.

Study on the Structures and Properties of Ni-W-B-CeO2 Composite Coatings Prepared by Pulse Electrodeposition

The aim of this research is to pulse co-deposit nano-CeO2 particles into Ni-W-B alloy coatings in order to improve the surface properties. The influence of pulse frequency and duty circle on deposition rate, microhardness and microstructures, and the influence of heat treatment temperature on phase structures, microhardness and abrasivity of Ni-W-B-CeO2 composite coatings were investigated. The results indicated that the pulse co-deposition of nickel, tungsten, boron and nano-CeO2 particle from the bath which nano-CeO2 particle was suspended by high speed mechanical stirring led to the Ni-W-B-CeO2 composite coatings, possessing better microhardness and abrasion resistance when heat-treated at 400℃ for 1h. The microhardness as-deposited with 636Hz and the deposition rate with 0.0281mm·h-1 was the highest at pulse frequency with 1000Hz and pulse duty circle with 10%. Microstructures analysis displays that decreasing pulse duty cycle leads to refinement in grain structures and the improvement of microstructures. X-ray diffraction shows that the composite coating as-deposited was mainly in the amorphous state and partially crystallized, but when heat treated at 400℃, the crystallization trend was strenthened further.

Synthesis and Properties of Pulse Electrodeposited Ni-CeO2 Nanocomposite

Ni-CeO₂ nanocomposite coatings were pulse electrodeposited from the Watt??s electrolyte containing different concentrations of nanosized CeO₂ particles (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50?g/L). The microhardness, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance of these coatings were evaluated and compared with those of pure nanocrystalline Ni deposited under the same conditions. The results show that the Ni-CeO₂ nanocomposite coating, synthesized from the electrolyte containing 30?g/L CeO₂, has significantly higher hardness, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance than those of the pure nanocrystalline Ni and other Ni-CeO₂ nanocomposite coatings.     

Study on preparation and properties of CeO2/epoxy resin composite coating on sintered NdFeB magnet

The CeO₂/epoxy resin composite coating was deposited on NdFeB substrate by cathode electrophoresis method for enhancing the anticorrosion and anti-wear performances. The morphologies and structures were characterized by a scanning electron microscope and an X-ray diffractometer. The micro hardness of the composite coating was evaluated by a microhardness tester. The corrosive behaviors of the coatings were studied by potentiodynamic polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and neutral salt spray tests. The concentration of CeO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) in the electrophoresis bath was optimized according to the coating structures and anticorrosion performances. The results show that CeO₂ NPs can enhance the microhardness of the composite coatings. Moreover, the nanoparticles disperse uniformly in the matrix when the concentration is lower than 30 g/L. The microhardness of CeO₂/epoxy resin (30 g/L) composite coating is about 63% higher than that of the blank epoxy resin coating. And the NSS time of the CeO₂/epoxy resin (30 g/L) composite coated sample can reach 1248 h. Meanwhile, the composite coatings possess no deteriorate influence on the magnetic properties of NdFeB substrates. The anticorrosion mechanisms of the composite coatings on the NdFeB substrate are deeply discussed.     

Structure and Mechanical Properties of Ni-P-Nano Al2O3 Composite Coatings Synthesized by Electroless Plating

Ni-P-nano Al2O3 composite coatings were deposited by electroless plating,and their microstructures were observed by SEM（scanning electron microscope）.The microhardness and the wear resistance of the Ni-P-nano Al2O3 composite coatings were measured using microhardness tester and block-on-ring tribometer,respectively,and the comparison with those of Ni-P coatings or Ni-P-micro Al2O3 coating was given.The influences of aging temperature on their hardness and wear resistance were analyzed.The results showed that the nano Al2O3 particles were distributed uniformly in the Ni-P-Al2O3 coatings.Among three kinds of Ni-P based coatings,the hardness and wear resistance of Ni-P-nano Al2O3 coatings were largest,and the maximum values could be obtained at 400 ℃.This indicated that the precipitation of nano Al2O3 particles would improve the hardness and wear resistance of the Ni-P coatings.     

Preparation of High-Surface Area Nano-CeO2 by Template-Assisted Precipitation Method

The high-surface area nano-CeO2 was prepared by Ce（NO3）3 by precipitation method, with surfactant cetyhrimethyl ammonium bromide （CTAB） as templating agent. The effects of the precipitating agents, reaction temperature, ageing time, and calcination temperature on the surface area, as well as the pore structure and the mean crystallite size of nano-CeO2 were studied. It was found that the reaction of Ce（NO3）3 with NaOH in the presence of CTAB at 90℃ for 12 h yieldsed a cerium oxide/surfaetant mixture, which after calcination at 400℃ resulted in high-surface area nano-CeO2. The mean crystallite size of CeO2 was approximately 6 nm, surface area was in excess of 200 m^2· g ^- 1, pore size was approximately 9 nm, and the pore distribution was concentrative. Moreover, the surface area can still reach 147 m^2·g^- 1 after calcination at 700 ℃, which showed the good thermal stability of the CeO2. The number of oxygen vacancies in the structure of CeO2 corresponded with the surface area of CeO2, and the high surface area was propitious to the formalion of oxygen vacancies.     

Fabrication and Characterization of Ni-SiC Nanocomposite Coatings on Al Substrates by Ball Impact Deposition Method

Micron-size Ni and SiC powder mixtures were used to prepare Ni-SiC nanocomposite coatings on an Al substrate by employing a high-energy ball milling technique. Ni:SiC weight ratio was varied over a wide range to explore the effect of the charge composition on the microstructure, composition, microhardness, and wear properties of the depositions. It was observed that the composition of the produced coating was correlated to the charge composition in a complex manner, which suggests that deposition rates for Ni and SiC particles significantly vary depending on the charge composition; SiC deposition rate was higher than that of Ni when Ni:SiC weight ratio was greater than 3:1. Diffusion of Al from the substrate into the Ni matrix provided evidence for the metallurgical bonding at the interface. Both microstructural and mechanical properties of the produced coatings were found to be crucially dependent on the charge composition. By increasing the SiC content in the charge from about 5 to 33 wt pct, the mechanical properties enhanced due to the dispersion strengthening effect of the incorporated SiC particles in the coatings and the crystallite size of the Ni matrix decreasing to the nanometer range. However, a further increase resulted in the formation of a coating with a poor degree of compaction. It was found that the composite coating with about 15 vol pct SiC, produced from the charge with Ni:SiC weight ratio of 2:1, showed a microhardness as high as 830 HV_0.05 along with excellent wear resistance. Despite the current sample size limitations for applying high-energy ball milling, the present findings demonstrate that the adopted technique holds good prospect for the synthesis of nanostructured metal matrix composite coatings with enhanced and tunable properties.

Probe into deposition mechanism of double pulse electrodepositing Ni-W-P matrix composite coatings containing CeO₂ and SiO₂ nano-particles

Ni-W-P matrix composite coatings reinforced by CeO2 and SiO2 nano-particles were prepared on common carbon steel surface by double pulse electrodeposition and the deposition mechanism was discussed.The results showed that the composite coatings with amorphous structure were obtained as-deposited.The initial growth behavior had alternatives and the nucleation was inhomogeneous because of obvious composition fluctuation.With the pulse deposition time increasing,some pearlite microstructures of the substrate were covered by some deposits and the composition fluctuation disappeared.Forward pulse currents promoted to form a great number of atomic beams composed of Ni,W and P atoms or CeO2 and SiO2 nano-particles as the core,which inhabited the growth of atomic beams.Reverse pulse currents eliminated concentration polarization and dissolved some surface boss of atomic beams.The solution of W and P atoms within Ni grains and embedding of CeO2 and SiO2 nano-particles within Ni-W-P matrix metal made atomic arrangement disordered.Finally,the atomic beams grew to amorphous small particles.
