Enhancement of photoelectrochemical activity of Fe2O3 nanowires decorated with carbon quantum dots

Owing to its up-conversion photoluminescence, photo-induced electron transfer property, and excellent conductivity, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have been established as effective sensitizers in combination with Fe₂O₃ nanowires for enhancing the catalytic activity of photoelectrochemical water oxidation. In comparison to pristine Fe₂O₃ nanowires, Fe₂O₃ nanowires decorated with CQDs demonstrate 27 orders of magnitude increase in photocurrent density at 0.23 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The mechanism of enhanced photoelectrochemical activity of CQDs/Fe₂O₃ composite was also investigated. Thereby, it is confirmed that the enhanced optical absorption, accelerated interfacial charge carrier transfer and effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs induced by CQDs decoration account for the enhancement of CQDs/Fe₂O₃ nanowire arrays in photoelectrochemical application.     

Synthesis and characterization of porous platelet-shaped α-Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> with enhanced photocatalytic activity for 17α-ethynylestradiol

The porous platelet-shaped α-Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by a novel hydrothermal–calcination method assisted with ethylenediamine and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The physical and chemical properties of α-Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst were characterized based on XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, EDS, UV–Vis DRS, and PL techniques. The influence of preparation conditions on the formation of α-Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst was investigated, and the effect of catalyst dosage and pH value on the EE2 removal rate was also investigated. The synthesized porous platelet-shaped α-Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), and 97.8% of EE2 was removed after 75 min of visible light irradiation using α-Bi₂O₃ as photocatalyst. The reaction rate constant over the porous platelet-shaped α-Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst was 11.6 and 11.4 times of that of traditional α-Bi₂O₃ and N-TiO₂, respectively. The possible photocatalytic mechanism has been discussed on the basis of the theoretical calculation and the experimental results. The porous platelet-shaped α-Bi₂O₃ was a stable and efficient photocatalyst, proving that it is a promising photocatalyst.     

由低浓度钛液制备偏钛酸的水解工艺研究

钛是一种重要的战略资源,在废弃脱硝催化剂中钛含量远远高于我们常用的钛精矿。近年来,各种从废弃催化剂中回收钛新技术的发展,使得人们对钛回收过程水解工艺的研究更加重视。本文以废弃催化剂经过高温钠化焙烧后硫酸酸解得到的低浓度钛液为原料,采用常压自生晶种热水稀释水解工艺制备偏钛酸,通过对自生晶种常压水解工艺中影响钛液水解产品平均粒径的五个关键因素:钛液F值、水解温度、钛液初始浓度、熟化时间、搅拌速度进行正交设计,然后比较各因素的极差,最终得到影响水解产品偏钛酸粒径各因素主次关系如下:水解温度>钛液初始浓度>钛液F值>熟化时间>搅拌速度。然后采用单因素控制变量法,研究了水解温度、钛液初始浓度、钛液F值、熟化时间、搅拌速度对影响钛水解产品偏钛酸粒径的较佳条件。结果表明:在水解温度95℃,钛液初始浓度200 g/L,钛液F值为1.8,熟化时间在50 min,搅拌速度300 r/min时,得到的偏钛酸平均粒径更接近2 μm。     

Flame Front Deformation Instabilities of Filtration Combustion for Initial Thermal Perturbation

The flame front deformation instability of low-velocity filtration combustion within an inert packed bed is studied based on the initial preheating non-uniformity. Based on the experimental phenomena, an initial thermal perturbation model is numerically proposed so as to predict the deformation behaviors of the flame front instabilities. The numerical prediction indicates that the assumption of an initial thermal perturbation is a feasible explanation as the cause of the flame front inclination instability. As the initial thermal perturbation increases, the phenomena of the flame front break and shrinking instabilities could easily occur at high filtration velocity or low equivalence ratio. Moreover, the evolutions of the flame front break rate and the shrinking rate are quantitatively analyzed.

碱性添加剂在钛硅分子筛/H2O2催化丙烯环氧化反应中的作用

考察了反应溶液中碱性添加剂{氨水（NH₄OH）、氢氧化钠（NaOH）、碳酸钠（Na₂CO₃）、碳酸铵[(NH₄)₂CO₃]和四甲基氢氧化铵（TMAOH）}及其浓度对钛硅分子筛（TS-1）催化丙烯环氧化反应性能的影响，并采用紫外拉曼光谱（UV-Raman）与气相色谱（GC）联用原位分析（Raman-GC）碱性添加剂的作用机理。结果表明：反应体系中添加碱性添加剂可有效改善TS-1催化丙烯环氧化反应的选择性。不同碱性添加剂对TS-1催化丙烯环氧化活性和稳定性影响不同，NaOH、Na₂CO₃和TMAOH的添加造成催化活性和稳定性降低。NH₄OH或(NH₄)₂CO₃作为添加剂改善环氧化反应选择性的同时提高了反应稳定性，其中以(NH₄)₂CO₃效果最佳。添加(NH₄)₂CO₃浓度为8.0×10^-4mol/L时，TS-1催化丙烯环氧化在固定床反应器上连续运行336h时，X(H₂O₂)仍保持在90%以上。原位Raman-GC分析发现，反应体系中NH₄OH和(NH₄)₂CO₃添加可加快反应活性中间体Ti-OOH(η²)基团的生成，促进反应产物从活性中心快速扩散，从而提高丙烯环氧化反应选择性和稳定性。
