The reduction/oxidation behaviour of MnAPO-5 as studied by ESR spectroscopy

It is shown by ESR spectroscopy that Mn²⁺ ions in MnAPO-5 are oxidized to Mn³⁺ during calcination atT475 K. Mn²⁺ occupies variously distorted tetrahedral positions within the framework and in extra-lattice sites. Octahedrally coordinated Mn²⁺ presumably located in the channels becomes detectable after adsorption of water. The ESR spectra of reduced MnAPO-5 show line-narrowing due to spin exchange interactions. The material behaves reversible in redox cycles at temperatures near 500 K.     

一种光电滴定反应器的设计与应用

滴定反应器是滴定法高锰酸盐指数分析仪的核心部件,目前高锰酸盐指数分析仪大多使用电极法滴定反应器,电极需要浸入反应液,电极信号容易受反应液的干扰,电极液也需要定期更换,维护不方便。为了解决电极法滴定反应器缺点,用光电方法检测反应液颜色的变化,并基于该方法设计光电滴定反应器,由光源发射光线穿透反应液,接收器检测透光度的变化判定滴定终点。经实验室对比测试,表明使用光电反应器的高锰酸盐指数分析仪的准确度、精密度、标准曲线、和实际水样比对等各项指标均优于《高锰酸盐指数水质自动分析仪技术要求》所要求的指标。该光电滴定反应器采用非接触式方法,不易受到水体色度、浊度、酸碱度的影响,应用与维护简单方便。     

镁质低品位铁镍硫化矿的活化工艺及机理

细菌浸出是镁质低品位铁镍硫化矿的潜在处理方案之一。针对该矿石浸出活性较低的问题,研究了硫酸预浸出和硫酸铵焙烧预浸出2种活化方案,并与细菌直接浸出(空白试验)做了比较。结果表明,2种活化方案都有利于金属回收,但硫酸铵焙烧预浸出方案的活化效果更优:浸出时间为8 d时,Ni、Cu和Mg的浸出率分别为90.2%、89.56%和61.19%,分别高于硫酸预浸出方案2.08%、12.2%和8.95%。矿石中的Mg主要在硫酸铵焙烧预浸出阶段进入溶液,细菌对Mg浸出的影响不大。XRD和能谱分析表明:浸出渣中Ni和Cu的残留量很低,Mg主要存在于难浸出的蛇纹石之中。

Electrochemical and microstructural characterization of cyclic redox behaviour of SOFC anodes

The oxidation of Ni to NiO in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode will result in large bulk volume change, which may change the interfaces of the two phases in the anode cermet and thus may cause significant performance degradation. The reduction and oxidation (redox) of the Ni/YSZ cermet were studied at 800 ℃. Anodic polarization measurements were performed before and after redox cycles. The anode current density at an overpotential of 100 mV kept decreasing during the whole redox treatment. It decreased from 19.11 to 7.95 mA·cm-2 after two redox cycles. Anode supported unit cell was assembled for cell's discharge measurements. Cell performance declined after each redox cycle. The maximum power density decreased from 126.28 to 40.32 mW·cm-2 . The microstructural changes after redox cycling were recorded using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results reveal that after re-oxidation, the Ni gets coarse and has a higher porosity; the nickel network structure turns to be desultory.     

Characteristics of graphite felt electrode electrochemically oxidized for vanadium redox battery application

The graphite felt was oxidized at a positive electrode potential in sulfuric acid solution.The electrochemical performance of the treated graphite felt served as electrode for vanadium redox battery was investigated with FT-IR,SEM,XPS,BET,cyclic voltammetry and testing VRB system,respectively.The results show that the molar ratio of O to C increases from 0.085 to 0.15 due to the increase of—COOH functional groups during electrochemical oxidation treatment,and the GF surface is eroded by electrochemical oxidation,resulting in the surface area increase from 0.33 m2/g to 0.49 m 2/g.The VRB with modified GF electrode exhibits excellent performance under a current density of 30 mA/cm 2 .The average current efficiency reaches 94%and average voltage efficiency reaches 85%.The improvement of electrochemical activity for the electrode is ascribed to the increase of the number of—COOH group and the special surface of GF.

Recovery of chromium from tannery effluents using a redox–adsorption approach

Adsorption isotherms for sodium and trivalent chromium uptake from aqueous solutions onto Amberlite resin were prepared at 18°C. Adsorption of each cation followed the Langmuir model. The rate of uptake of each cation was found to be film diffusion controlled with sodium showing the most rapid uptake. In aqueous solutions containing both chromium and sodium as the only cationic species, it was found that with increasing initial concentration of sodium, the trivalent chromium uptake on the resin decreased substantially. To overcome this difficulty a four step redox–adsorption system has been developed for the removal of Cr³⁺ from tannery effluents. The first step comprises the oxidation of trivalent chromium to the hexavalent form using selected common oxidising agents. The liquid effluent is then passed through an Amberlite cation-exchange resin in step 2 where the sodium in the waste stream is completely removed. The anionic hexavalent form of chromium (Cr₂O) passes unaltered through the resin along with the waste stream. In the third stage the dichromate is reduced back to the trivalent cationic form which is subsequently removed from the waste stream by a second Amberlite ion-exchange bed in stage 4. Each step in this process is assessed in batch and flow mode using simulated and real tannery effluents.     

Engineering Transition Metal Layers for Long Lasting Anionic Redox in Layered Sodium Manganese Oxide

Oxygen-redox-based-layered cathode materials are of great importance in realizing high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) that can satisfy the demands of next-generation energy storage technologies. However, Mn-based-layered materials (P2-type Na-poor Na_y[A_xMn_1−x]O₂, where A = alkali ions) still suffer from poor reversibility during oxygen-redox reactions and low conductivity. In this work, the dual Li and Co replacement is investigated in P2-type-layered Na_xMnO₂. Experimentally and theoretically, it is demonstrated that the efficacy of the dual Li and Co replacement in Na_0.6[Li_0.15Co_0.15Mn_0.7]O₂ is that it improves the structural and cycling stability despite the reversible Li migration from the transition metal layer during de-/sodiation. Operando X-ray diffraction and ex situ neutron diffraction analysis prove that the material maintains a P2-type structure during the entire range of Na⁺ extraction and insertion with a small volume change of ≈4.3%. In Na_0.6[Li_0.15Co_0.15Mn_0.7]O₂, the reversible electrochemical activity of Co³⁺/Co⁴⁺, Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺, and O^2-/(O₂)^n- redox is identified as a reliable mechanism for the remarkable stable electrochemical performance. From a broader perspective, this study highlights a possible design roadmap for developing cathode materials with optimized cationic and anionic activities and excellent structural stabilities for SIBs.
