Experimental study and thermodynamic calculation of Lu_2O_3-SiO_2 binary system

As a binary system of BaO-Lu_2O_3-SiO_2 ternary system, Lu_2O_3-SiO_2 system was optimized and calculated by CALPHAD approach based on available phase diagram and relevant thermodynamic data of RE_2O_3-SiO_2(RE=Lu,Yb,Y) binary systems as well as our experimental data of Lu_2O_3-SiO_2 system obtained by quenching experiment. The Gibbs free energy of high temperature solution was described by an ionic two-sublattice model as(Lu~(3+))P(O~(2-), SiO_2~0)Q. The calculated phase diagram below 1873 K was in good agreement with experimental data at 1573, 1773 and 1873 K. The calculated Gibbs energies of two intermediate phases Lu_2SiO_5 and Lu_2Si_2O_7, the activity of Lu_2O_3 and SiO_2 and specific heat capacities of intermediate phases agreed well with experimental results of Y_2O_3-SiO_2 system. This tentative study will offer help for the research of single-phase phosphor and related metallurgical slags, refractories, high-temperature superconductivity material systems.

Synthesis and photoluminescent properties of Eu~(3+)/Dy~(3+) doped SrO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2 glass-ceramics

Eu~(3+)/Dy~(3+) single-doped and co-doped 6SrO-3Al_2O_3-91SiO_2 and 12SrO-6Al_2O_3-82SiO_2 glass and glass-ceramics were synthesized successfully by a sol-gel method. The prepared samples were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescent spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effect of annealing temperature, doped ions and matrix component on the structure and the photoluminescent characteristics was systematically studied. The higher temperature was helpful to form nanocrystals and the amount of SrO and Al_2O_3 could better disperse the rare earth ions in matrix at suitable temperature, and both of them could improve the luminescent intensity. Meanwhile, the doped ions could change the luminescent color by single, codoped and energy transfer. The Sr_2SiO_4 nanocrystals were observed in silicates glasses and became larger with the increase of the annealing temperature and the luminous efficiency of rare-earth(RE) ions could be enhanced when the samples changed from glass state to glass-ceramic state. The results indicated that the photoluminescent properties could be changed through controlling the doped ions, annealing temperature and matrix component.     

A Study on the Thermal Stability of La_2O_3-TiO_2 Supports

In this paper,various techniques including BET,XRD,SEM and XPS were used to study the sintering ofpure and La_2O_3-doped titania.The experimental results show that sintering of titania proceeds via volume diffu-sion.Adding of lanthanum oxide decreases the rate of sintering and hinders the phase transition from anatase torutile crystal by strong surface interaction between the mixed crystals(La_4Ti_9O_(24),La_(0.66)TiO_(2.99))and TiO_2.     

Rare earths (Ce,Y, Pr) modified Pd/La_2O_3-ZrO_2-Al_2O_3 catalysts used in lean-burn natural gas fueled vehicles

14%REO_x-2.5%La_2 O_3-33.5%ZrO_2-50%Al_2 O_3(RE = Ce, Y, Pr) composites were prepared by a coprecipitation method. The Pd catalysts were obtained by an aqueous solution of Pd(NO_3)_2 loaded on the rare earths modified composites with an initial wet impregnated method. The experiment results show that catalytic activity of the rare earths modified Pd/La_2 O_3-ZrO_2-Al_2 O_3 catalysts is better than bare sample for methane oxidation. The structural characterization results reveal that the rare earths modified Pd catalysts increase amounts of surface active oxygen species by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analysis and improve the dispersion of active component from H2-temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR) measurement compared with bare sample. Especially,Pd/14%Y_2 O_3-2.5%La_2 O_3-33.5%ZrO_2-50%Al_2 O_3 sample exhibits highly active stability, it is related to the Pd particles highly dispersion,which was observed by transmission electron microscope(TEM) images.     

Can lanthanum doping enhance catalytic performance of silver in direct propylene epoxidation over NaMoAg/SiO_2?

In the attempt to reduce surface free energy of silica to improve interaction of silica with silver, silica was doped by different amounts of low surface energy lanthanum, La_2O_3, through impregnation. The doped and undoped silica were used as supports for preparation of Na/Ag/Mo/La_2O_3-SiO_2 catalysts. Catalytic performances of the catalysts were evaluated in direct epoxidation of propylene(DPO) using molecular oxygen under atmospheric pressure and without adding hydrogen. Adding 5 wt%La to the Na/Ag/Mo/SiO_2 catalyst improves both the catalysts electivity in DPO and its stability over 20h of time-on-stream.The characterization results show that La_2O_3 species interact strongly with silver particles on the silica surface which result in significant improvement in the dispersion profile of silver and marked decrease in the size of silver nanoparticles(AgNPs). The estimated mean diameter of AgNPs is ca. 4.0 nm in Na/Ag/Mo/5 wt%La_2O_3-SiO_2, which is smaller than that(53.9 nm) found in Na/Ag/SiO_2. The presence of subnanometer AgNPs on Ag/La_2O_3-SiO_2 prior addition of MoO_3 and NaCl to the sample can enhance the mutual electronic synergism between Ag, MoO_3 and Na for selective production of propylene oxide.

Enhancing mechanical properties and air permeability of corundum porous materials by in situ formation of LaAl_(11)O_(18) in bonding phase

Corundum porous materials of particle-packing type with different contents of in situ formed LaAl_(11)O_(18)were prepared using tabular corundum,reactive alumina and La_2O_3 powder as raw materials.The effects of the introduction of LaAl_(11)O_(18) on the microstructure.phase composition and properties of the porous materials were investigated.The specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy.X-ray diffraction and mercury porosimetry.Results show that platelet-like LaAl_(11)O_(18) is formed in situ by the reactions of La_2O_3 and Al_2O_3.With a certain amount of La_2O_3 added.the cold crushing strength,cold modulus of rupture and hot modulus of rupture(1400 x 0.5 h) of the specimens are increased,and the air permeability is improved simultaneously.However.upon further increasing the amount of La_2O_3 added,the mechanical properties and air permeability of the porous materials then decrease gradually owing to the increased numbers of pores and cracks in the bonding phase.The enhanced mechanical properties of the specimens with La_2O_3 added are attributed to the strengthening effects of plate-like LaAl_(11)O_(18) in the bonding phase and to the activated sintering of both Al_2O_3 powder and corundum coarse aggregate for the diffusion of La~(3+)in Al_2O_3 lattice.In addition,the improved air permeability of the specimens should be related to the decreased content of pores in the bonding phase and the reduced number of interfacial cracks.     

A Coupled Experimental Study and Thermodynamic Modeling of the SiO2-P2O5 System

A coupled key phase diagram experimental study and thermodynamic modeling of the SiO₂-P₂O₅ system was conducted. Equilibration and quenching experiments using sealed Pt crucibles were performed in the SiO₂-rich region to resolve inconsistencies found in the literature data about the SiO₂ liquidus. Based on new experimental data and all available and reliable phase diagram and thermodynamic data, the thermodynamic optimization of the SiO₂-P₂O₅ system was carried out to obtain a set of thermodynamic equations for liquid and solid phases in the system. The liquidus slope of SiO₂ indicates that P₂O₅ in the SiO₂-rich liquid exists mainly in the form of P₂O₇ ^4? instead of PO₄ ^3?. Thermodynamic properties of the liquid solution can be predicted from the Gibbs energy of the liquid phase.

Synthesis and Property of H2La2Ti3O10/CdS Layered Nanocomposite Photocatalyst

H2La2Ti3O10/CdS nanocomposite with er photoactivity was synthesized by a stepwise exchange process from H2La2Ti3O10, which was obtained by H^＋ -exchanging reaction of H2La2Ti3O10 with HCl other than the normally used HNO3. The pillaring process was investigated by XRD, TEM, FT-IR and BET methods. The photocatalytic decomposition of aniline was used as the model system to evaluate the photochemical properties of H2La2Ti3O10/CdS,H2La2Ti3O10 and K2La2Ti3O10. It is found that the photoactivity of layered H2La2Ti3O10 is greatly improved by the intercalation of CdS in the interlayer. In general, the excellent photoactivity of the H2La2Ti3O10/CdS nanocomposite might be attributing to the extremely small particle size of incorporated CdS and good contact between CdS and La2Ti3O10^2- layers. On the other hand, the coupling of two semiconductor particles with different energy gap is useful to achieve effective charge separation. In H2La2Ti3O10/CdS, a photo-generated electron can transfer from CdS to the La2Ti3O10^2- layer, while the holes remain in the CdS particles. This helps to diffuse the electrons and holes before reaching the interface, and the holes and electrons can be effectively captured by the electrolyte in the solution. Simuhaneously, the optimal operating condition of photodecomposition aniline was investigated.     

Reaction mechanism of phosphorus with multi phase fluxes during hot metal dephosphorization

The formation of solid solution combined with tricalcium phosphate and dicalcium silicate could promote a considerable removal of phosphorus from liquid slag to solid during hot metal dephosphorization,and thus the dephosphorization by using multi phase fluxes could significantly decrease the consumption of lime. However,the reaction mechanism of multi phase fluxes has not been understood clearly.In the present study,the phase diagram for the CaO-SiO₂-FeO-P₂O₅ system has been measured with certain oxygen partial pressure at hot metal pretreatment temperature.Comparing with the CaO-SiO₂-FeO system,shrinkage of liquid phase area at higher FeO contents was observed at 1 673 K with oxygen partial pressure of 9.2×10^-11 atm.     

Al2O3-ZrO2-Yb2O3 phase diagram. II. Liquidus surface

The liquidus surface for the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Yb₂O₃ phase diagram is constructed for the first time. No ternary compounds are found in the system. The liquidus surface is completed by seven primary crystallization fields. Two four-phase invariant eutectic equilibria, two four-phase invariant transition equilibria, and one three-phase invariant eutectic equilibrium are found in the ternary system. Since ZrO₂ interacts with other phases eutectically, composite materials can combine the unique properties of ZrO₂-based T-and F-phases with the properties of other phases of the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Yb₂O₃ system.     

Structural behavior of F~- in mould flux melt of CaO-SiO_2-Al_2O_3-Na_2O-CaF_2 system

The influence of fluorine on the structure of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O-CaF2 continuous-casting-type slag was measured by Raman spectroscopy, and the degree of polymerization of mould flux and the structural behavior of F- in the melt were investigated by classifying and quantifying the structural species of F- ions. The results exhibit that the main structural units of Si-O tetrahedra are Q0, Q1 and Q2, and the actual measured number of non-bridging oxygen ions in the ［SiO4］-tetrahedra (denoted by NBO/T) increases from 2.73 to 3.44 with increasing the molar ratio of F to (F+O) (denoted by XF/X(F+O)) from 0.06 to 0.19. It means that the degree of polymerization of melt structure decreases with an increase in XF/X(F+O). In addition, most of F- ions were distributed in Si-O tetrahedra and Al-O tetrahedra. With increasing XF/X(F+O), the complex structural units Al-O tetrahedra are gradually replaced by discrete structural units AlF4- because of the breakage of Al-O bonds in Al-O tetrahedra by F- ions, and the Si-O (bridging oxygen) bonds of Si-O tetrahedra are broken to form ［SiOnF4-n］-tetrahedra by F- ions coordinating with Si4+.
