Study on transport of Dy（III） by dispersion supported liquid membrane

The transport of Dy(III) through a dispersion supported liquid membrane (DSLM) consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF) as the liquid membrane support and dispersion solution including HCl solution as the stripping solution and 2-ethyl hexyl phosphonic acid-mono-2-ethyl hexyl ester (PC-88A) dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution, was studied. The effects of pH value, initial concentration of Dy(III) and different ionic strength in the feed phase, volume ratio of membrane solution and stripping solution, concentration of HCl solution, concentration of carrier, different stripping agents in the dispersion phase on transport of Dy(III) were also investigated, respectively. As a result, when the concentration of HCl solution was 4.0 mol/L, concentration of PC-88A was 0.10 mol/L, and volume ratio of membrane solution and stripping solution was 40:20 in the dispersion phase, and pH value was 5.0 in the feed phase, the transport effect of Dy(III) was the best. Ionic strength had no obvious effect on transport of Dy(III). Under the optimum condition studied, when initial concentration of Dy(III) was 0.8 × 10^?4 mol/L, the transport rate of Dy(III) was up to 96.2% during the transport time of 95 min. The kinetic equation was developed in terms of the law of mass diffusion and the theory of interface chemistry. The diffusion coefficient of Dy(III) in the membrane and the thickness of diffusion layer between feed phase and membrane phase were obtained and the values were 1.99 × 10^?7 m²/s and 15.97 μm, respectively. The results were in good agreement with experimental results.

Stability of phases in （Ba,Gd）MnO3 solid solution system

The existing phases in BaxGd1-xMnO3 solid solution system （0≤x≤ 1） were studied by analyzing the detailed crystal structure of each composition from the results of the Rietveld method using powder X-ray diffraction data. For a small substitution of Ba for Gd （0≤x〈0. 1）, the orthorhombic phase with a perovskite type structure （Pnma space group） was stably formed and this fact was supported by the electron diffraction data. There existed an intermediate phase of Ba0.33Gd0.67MnO3, which was characterized as the tetragonal phase with perovskite structure. The composition range of this phase was narrow and almost line compound. Between the regions of these phases, there existed two-phase region. There was also a two-phase region between the intermediate tetragonal phase and BaMnO3. Measurement of electrical conductivities of these orthorhombic solid solutions and tetragonal phases showed semiconducting behaviors for both phases and the existence of the phase transition at high temperature for the orthorhombic phase, The transition temperature decreased as the Ba content increased.     

Raman spectra of RE2O3 （RE=Eu,Gd, Dy,Ho, Er,Tm, Yb,Lu, Sc and Y）：laser-excited luminescence and trace impurity analysis

Raman spectra of a series of cubic rare earth sesquioxides RE2O3 （RE=Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Sc and Y） were investigated by Raman spectroscopy with both 532 and 785 nm laser lines. Abundant additional bands due to laser-excited lumines-cence were observed. For Eu2O3, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3 and Yb2O3, the luminescence mainly came from the intrinsic trivalent lanthanide ions, while for Gd2O3, Lu2O3, Sc2O3 and Y2O3, their luminescence were attributed to the trace impurities of other lumines-cent lanthanide ions such as Eu3＋, Nd3＋and Er3＋. This investigation confirmed Raman spectroscopy as a useful tool for detecting trace luminescent lanthanide impurities.     

Thermogravimetric Study on Oxygen Adsorption/Desorption Properties of Double Perovskite Structure Oxides REBaCo2O（5＋δ）（RE= Pr,Gd,Y）

The oxygen adsorption/desorption properties of double perovskite structure oxides PrBaCo2O5＋δ,GdBaCo2O5＋δ,and YBaCo2O5＋δ were investigated by the thermogravimetry（TG）method in the temperature range of 400~900 ℃.The calculated oxygen adsorption/desorption surface reaction rate constants ka and kd of these double perovskite structure oxides were larger than the commonly used cubic perovskite oxides,such as Ba0.95Ca0.05Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ and Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ,whereas,the oxygen permeation flux was comparable to that of the latter,which was attributed to the smaller difference of oxygen vacancy in oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere（Δδ/Vmol）in these double perovskite structure oxides.The large oxygen adsorption/desorption rate constants of GdBaCo2O5＋δ and PrBaCo2O5＋δ made them nice catalyst coating materials,on other membrane surfaces,to improve the oxygen permeability.

Synthesis and Study on Physical Properties for Magnetic Superconductor RESr2RuCu2O8（RE = Gd and Eu）

Single-phase magnetic superconductors RESrzRuCuzOs(RE = C,d and Eu) were successfully synthesized and investigations on their physical properties were carried out. It is found that the structure of the compounds is similar to that of YBa2Cu307 and its superconductivity coexists with weak ferromagnetic order in both compounds. The compounds exhibit magnetic order below TM = 130 and 136 K and superconducting below TC^onset = 35 and 46 K, respectively, for RE = Eu and Gd samples. There is slight difference in the magnetic properties between RE = Euand C,d compounds owing to various magnetic moments for C,d3 and Eu3 .     

Research of Luminescence Properties on MO-RE2 O3 -B2 O3:Eu, Mn(M=Mg, Ca, Sr; RE=Y, La, Gd)

A series of phosphor of MO-RE2 O3-B2 O3: Eu, Mn ( M = Mg, Ca, Sr; RE = Y, La, Gd) were prepared and studied.Excitation spectra exhibited high absorption in UV region (370 ～ 400 nm).There existed two valence states for europium ions Eu2 and Eu 3 , the broad emission band peaking at 515 nm correspond to the 5d-4f emission transition of Eu2 , the sharp emission peaking at 590 and 610 nm correspond to the 5D0→7FJ(J = 1,2,3,4) emission transition of Eu 3 By the introduction of Mg and Y into MO-RE2O3-B2O3: Eu, blue-green emission was restrained ultimately and red emission peaking at 610 nm was enhanced strongly, intensity and colorimetric purity of red light were both enhanced.Furthermore, Mg1-xSrxO-Y2O3-B2O3: Eu was also researched, the introduction of Sr into MgO-Y2O3-B2O3:Eu gives rise to a shift to longer wavelengths of the position of the excitation peak, and the emission spectra varies with the increasing of x simultaneously.     

Study of Magnetic Entropy Changes in Gd1-x Tx ( T = Ti, Cr, Fe and Cu) Alloys

Magnetic refrigeration techniques based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) were demonstrated as a promising alternative to conventional vapour-cycle refrigeration.Recently, scientists focused their research on room temperature magnetic refrigeration.The rare earth Gd metal is regarded as a prototype for room temperature magnetic refrigerant.Considering the various requirements in application, it is necessary to search for the magnetic refrigerant possessing qualities as good as Gd but having different Tc above or below room temperature.In this article, we report the magnetic entropy changes in Gd1 -xTx(T = Ti, Cr, Fe and Cu) alloys.With a small quantity of T atoms introduced in Gd, the Curie temperature increases.The values of magnetic entropy change in these alloys are almost the same as or a little less than that of Gd.But the refrigerant capacities of these alloys are obviously larger than that of Gd.All these facts suggest that Gd1-xTx(T = Ti, Cr, Fe and Cu) alloys may be good refrigerants for room temperature magnetic refrigeration.
