Influence of doped platinum nanoparticles on photocatalytic performance of CuO–SiO2 for degradation of Acridine orange dye

Preparation of cupric oxide-silicon dioxide nanoparticles was carried out using a sol-gel method. Cupric oxide-silicon dioxide nanoparticles were decorated by different weight percent of platinum (0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 wt %) using method of photoassisted deposition. XRD remarks revealed that XRD patterns for all samples are composed of cupric oxide. Therefore, silicon dioxide is amorphous and decoration of cupric oxide-silicon dioxide nanoparticles by platinum has no effect on the formed phase. Also, due to low percent of platinum there are no peaks for platinum oxide or platinum. Cupric oxide has bandgap energy absorb in visible region but has high e-h recombination rate. Decoration of cupric oxide-silicon dioxide nanoparticles by platinum was decreased bandgap energy from 2.38 to 1.91 eV and also decrease rate of e-h recombination rate. The photocatalytic activity of platinum decorated cupric oxide-silicon dioxide nanoparticles was measured under visible light for Acridine orange dye degradation. 100% of Acridine orange dye can be degraded using 3.0 wt % of platinum decorated cupric oxide-silicon dioxide photocatalyst, 1.2 g/L dose of platinum decorated cupric oxide-silicon dioxide photocatalyst and 30 min reaction time. 3.0 wt % of platinum decorated cupric oxide-silicon dioxide photocatalyst has photocatalytic stability for five times.

Evolving an Accurate Decision Tree-Based Model for Predicting Carbon Dioxide Solubility in Polymers

Solubility is one of the most indispensable physicochemical properties determining the compatibility of components of a blending system. Research has been focused on the solubility of carbon dioxide in polymers as a significant application of green chemistry. To replace costly and time-consuming experiments, a novel solubility prediction model based on a decision tree, called the stochastic gradient boosting algorithm, was proposed to predict CO₂ solubility in 13 different polymers, based on 515 published experimental data lines. The results indicate that the proposed ensemble model is an effective method for predicting the CO₂ solubility in various polymers, with highly satisfactory performance and high efficiency. It produces more accurate outputs than other methods such as machine learning schemes and an equation of state approach.     

Determining most effective structural form of nickel-cobalt catalysts for dry reforming of methane

In this study, catalytic activity of carbon dioxide reforming of methane was investigated over nickel-cobalt catalysts in various structural forms. Catalytic activity tests were performed at the temperatures of 600–800 °C in a micro-flow quartz reactor. SEM-EDX, XRD and XPS studies were also performed to understand the surface morphology of the catalysts. The results showed that 8 wt%Ni-2wt.%Co on wash-coated MgO over monolithic structure led to highest catalytic performances with CH₄ and CO₂ conversions of 83% and 89% respectively as well as H₂/CO ratio of 0.95 at 750 °C. SEM-EDX and XPS results of catalyst spent at 750 °C also showed considerable amount of coke formation; however, the use of 3% oxygen in the feed suppressed the coke formation significantly. The catalyst was stable for 48 h in the presence of O₂ (3%) added feed at the temperature of 750 °C.

Synthesis of manganese titanate and its precursors from xerogel

An overview of research on the synthesis of manganese titanates is presented. The xerogel of Mn–Ti–O–C–H composition was synthesized from manganese acetate and titanium tetrabutylate via liquid-phase method using organic solvents. The calcination of xerogel in air at 450 °C and 700 °C yielded manganese titanate precursors in the form of a nanostructured mixture of Mn₂O₃ and TiO₂. Annealing at 1000 °C, manganese metatitanate MnTiO₃ was obtained. Reference experiments with initial reagents included, separately, thermal decomposition of Mn(CH₃COO)₂×4H₂O and the product of Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ hydrolysis. The composition, structure, and properties of the products were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, diffuse reflectance IR Fourier spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and by measuring specific surface area. The data presented by these different techniques are basically consistent with each other (with an increase in the annealing temperature, an increase in globule size and decrease in specific surface area are observed; structuring occurs within the long- and short-range order; the size of the crystallites does not exceed that of the globules; elemental composition correlates with phase composition; the endothermic character of the reaction of MnTiO₃ formation at 900 °C is confirmed by a thermodynamic calculation). Nevertheless, some unexpected effects were revealed (based on the FTIR diffuse reflection spectra, mixed oxide Mn–Ti–O is formed in the surface layer of particles already at 450 °C and 700 °C; etc.). Application of the proposed technique for modifying Al₂O₃ powders, with the aim of implementing low-temperature sintering of corundum ceramics, is discussed.

钛白粉煅烧转窑尾气的高湿、高硫、高酸露点的特性使得转窑尾气余热利用过程中换热器寿命不理想。在总结已有尾气余热利用方式存在问题的基础上,提出了一种长寿命、易维护的套管式热管余热利用装置,该装置由彼此分离的换热套管通过弯头、法兰连接成为整体,尾气垂直横掠双层套管段,与高硫、高湿的尾气通过相变介质的相变完成热量由尾气向取热介质的转移,产生钛白粉生产工艺所急需的蒸汽,双层管的相变换热套管对比单层管的重力热管换热器寿命明显延长;连接换热套管的单层管弯头不与高湿、高硫尾气换热,大大减轻了尾气对单层管的腐蚀。换热器应用在3.6 m×58 m的钛白粉煅烧窑上,每年可以产生0.9 MPa的水蒸气1.12万t,为企业带来可观的经济效益。     

European legal framework related to underground mining and tunnelling concerning commission directive(EU) 2017/164, 31 January establishing a fourth list of indicative occupational exposure limit values

Directive(EU) 2017/164 establishes a fourth list of indicative occupational exposure limit values(IOELVs)to protect workers from risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals. It states that in underground mining and tunnelling, Member States may benefit from a transitional period regarding IOELVs for nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide, during which the existing established IOELVs may be applied. The European Advisory Committee on Health and Safety at Work questions the technical feasibility of the proposed IOELVs in underground mining(CO, NO and NO_2) and tunnelling(NO and NO_2).Challenges arise concerning the availability of measurement methodologies for compliance with proposed IOELVs(NO_2) in underground mining and tunnelling environments.     

Experimental and numerical assessment of grain boundary energies in polycrystalline uranium dioxide

Uranium dioxide ceramics are widely used as nuclear fuels. Thus, it is important to understand the role of the grain boundaries (GBs) which decisively govern the properties of these polycrystalline materials and subsequently determine their performances. Here, we report a coupled numerical - experimental approach enabling to assess GB energies. Firstly, GB formation energies (γ_gb) were computed for 34 symmetric tilt GBs in UO₂ with molecular dynamics simulations at 1700 K. The surface energies (γ_S) relative to the respective planes of these GBs were calculated as well. The Herring relation was then used to assess the dihedral angles Ψ of the corresponding GB grooves. Secondly, a UO₂ ceramic sample was annealed at 1673 K to obtain GB grooves. The CSL GBs of interest were identified by EBSD and their Ψ angles determined by AFM. Computed and measured Ψ values were found to be very close.
