Molybdate and tungstate as corrosion inhibitors for cold rolling steel in hydrochloric acid solution

The inhibition effects of molybdate and tungstate on the corrosion of cold rolling steel (CRS) in hydrochloric acid solution (0.1-0.5 M) were investigated by weight loss and electrochemistry methods. The results reveal that both molybdate and tungstate are very good inhibitors with little concentration. The adsorption of inhibitors on the CRS surface basically obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of CRS was also studied at 25 °C and 35 °C, the thermodynamic parameters such as adsorption heat (ΔH⁰) and adsorption free energy (ΔG⁰) were calculated. In the same conditions, a comparative study of corrosion inhibition of molybdate and tungstate indicated that molybdate was the better inhibitor in 0.1 M HCl. However, the value of percentage inhibition efficiency (IE) was dependent on the concentration of inhibitors in 0.2-0.5 M HCl. It seemed that molybdate did not have the strong inhibitive effect compared to tungstate with relatively small concentration of inhibitors, but molybdate was a better inhibitor over a wide concentration range of inhibitors. A kinetic study of cold rolling steel in uninhibited and inhibited acid was also discussed. Various parameters such as rate constant k and the kinetic parameter B were calculated for the reactions of corrosion. Polarization curves showed that both molybdate and tungstate are mixed-type inhibitors in acidic media.

Modified g-C3N4 derived from ionic liquid and urea for promoting visible-light photodegradation of organic pollutants

In this work, modified g-C₃N₄ was fabricated successfully by calcination of ionic liquid (IL) and urea. The addition of IL changed the polymerization mode of urea, induced the self-assembly of urea molecules, modified the morphological structure of the tightly packed g-C₃N₄, and extended the electron conjugation system. When using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) as a modifier, the heteroatom Cl could be inserted into the g-C₃N₄ to optimize the electronic structure. The results of characterizations indicate that the unique structure of modified g-C₃N₄ has an expanded electron delocalization range, introduces an interlayer charge transmission channel, promotes the charge transmission, reduces the band gap, enhances the absorption of visible light, and inhibits electron-hole recombination. Modified g-C₃N₄ showed excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline. Furthermore, the effect of different anions in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts ([Bmim]Cl, [Bmim]Br, [Bmim][BF₄], and [Bmim][PF₆]) on the structure and function of g-C₃N₄ are discussed.     

Machine Learning Reduced Gene/Non-Coding RNA Features That Classify Schizophrenia Patients Accurately and Highlight Insightful Gene Clusters

RNA-seq has been a powerful method to detect the differentially expressed genes/long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in schizophrenia (SCZ) patients; however, due to overfitting problems differentially expressed targets (DETs) cannot be used properly as biomarkers. This study used machine learning to reduce gene/non-coding RNA features. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlpfc) RNA-seq data from 254 individuals was obtained from the CommonMind consortium. The average predictive accuracy for SCZ patients was 67% based on coding genes, and 96% based on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Machine learning is a powerful algorithm to reduce functional biomarkers in SCZ patients. The lncRNAs capture the characteristics of SCZ tissue more accurately than mRNA as the former regulate every level of gene expression, not limited to mRNA levels.

Tensile behavior change depending on the varying tungsten content of W–Ni–Fe alloys

Tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) are metal–metal composites consisting of nearly pure spherical tungsten particles embedded in a Ni–Fe–W or Ni–Co–W or Ni–Cu–W ductile matrix. In this dual phase alloy, there are several complicated relations between the ductile matrix and hard tungsten particles. The aim of this research was to examine the effect of varying tungsten content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloys. The microstructural parameters (grain size, connectivity, contiguity and solid volume fraction) were measured and were found to have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of tungsten-based heavy alloys. The result shows that the binding strength between the W and the matrix phase has a major influence on the ductility of tungsten-based alloys. The larger this binding force is, the better the ductility is.
