Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over Co–BaCO3 catalysts using CO2 as oxidant: effects of Co promoter

Co–BaCO₃ catalysts exhibited high catalytic performance for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODE) using CO₂ as oxidant. The maximal formation rate of C₂H₄ was 0.264 mmol · min⁻¹ · (g · cat.)⁻¹ (48.0% C₂H₆ conversion, 92.2% C₂H₄ selectivity, 44.3% C₂H₄ yield) on 7 wt% Co–BaCO₃ catalyst at 650 °C and 6000 ml. (g · cat.)⁻¹. h⁻¹. Co–BaCO₃ catalysts were comparatively characterized by XRF, N₂ isotherm adsorption-desorption, XRD, H₂-TPR and LRs. It was found that Co⁴⁺–O species were active sites on these catalysts in ODE with CO₂. The redox cycle of Co–O species played an important role on the catalytic performance of Co–BaCO₃ catalysts. On the other hand, the co-operation of BaCO₃ and BaCoO₃ was considered to be one of possible reasons for the high catalytic activity of these catalysts.     

Synthesis, isolation, spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization of some calcium-containing metallofullerenes

A few Ca-containing mono-metallofullerenes, i.e. Ca@C₇₆, Ca@C₈₈, Ca@C₉₀ (I, II), were synthesized by an improved DC arc discharge method and isolated by a multi-stage HPLC method for the first time. These isomer-separated metallofullerenes were characterized by LD-TOF MS and UV-vis-NIR spectrometry. Their HOMO-LUMO band gaps and possible molecular geometries are discussed according to the absorption spectra in this report. In addition, the cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry of Ca@C₇₆ was conducted in MeCN/C₆H₅CH₃ (1:4 v/v). The voltammograms of Ca@C₈₂ (II, III) and Ca@C₈₄ (II) were also recorded. Their electrochemical behaviors are discussed compared with those of corresponding ytterbium metallofullerenes. The features of the Ca metallofullerenes’ electronic structures are also discussed.     

Study of different effect on foaming process of biodegradable bionolle in supercritical carbon dioxide

Microcellular foaming of biodegradable Bionolle in supercritical CO₂ has been produced. The effects of a series of variable factors, such as saturation temperature, saturation pressure, and depressurization time and step on the foam structures and density, were studied through measurement of density and SEM observation. The experimental results show that higher saturation temperatures lead to an increase in bulk densities; and different depressurization time and step result in different product cell morphology. In addition, at some saturation temperature, the orientation of the cells can be found in the product morphology. XRD experimental results show that the foaming treatment with SC CO₂ increased the crystallinity of Bionolle. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2901–2906, 2006

Molten salts/ceramic-foam matrix composites by melt infiltration method as energy storage material

A new type of high temperature energy storage material was obtained through the melt infiltration method, using compounding SiC ceramic foam as matrix and Na₂SO₄ as phase change material. The resulting composite material was measured by XRD, SEM, TG-DSC methods. The experimental results indicate that the composite is composed of silicon carbide, sodium sulfate and square quartz, and no chemical reactions occurs between Na₂SO₄ and SiC matrix. Na₂SO₄ has a good bonding with the SiC ceramic foam matrix. As the composite material is characterized by high thermal energy storage density and high thermal conductivity, it is suit for energy storage under high temperature.

Relationship of hydrocarbon and source-rock in Nos.3-5 tectonic belts of the Lenghu area, northern Qaidam Basin

Based on analyses of the components of crude oil hydrocarbons and carbon isotopes, the content of normal alkane de-creased from 49.00% to 20.10% when moving from the No.3 to No.5 tectonic belt of the Lenghu area of the Qaidam Basin, while cycloalkanes increased from 30.00% to 52.20% and aromatic and branch chain alkanes increased gradually as well. The maturity of sterane in crude oil is higher than that of its source-rock, which shows that the hydrocarbons were generated from a deep source-rock of high maturity around the tectonic belts of the Lenghu area. The analysis of the characteristics of carbon isotopes also shows that these isotopes of hydrocarbon compounds in the No.4 and No.5 tectonic belt are apparently heavier than those in the No.3 belt. The results of our research show that the hydrocarbons in the No.3 tectonic belt are mainly from a relatively rich sapropelic substance, while the hydrocarbons in the No.4 and No.5 tectonic belt originated mainly from organic matter of a rela-tively rich humic type substance.

A nonlinear control method for the electromagnetic suspension system of the maglev train

To deal with the inherent nonlinearity and open-loop instability of the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) system, a new nonlinear control method is proposed. The simulation results show that, for a PID controller, the overshoot of the system response to an airgap step disturbance is about 3 mm, and the transient time is 6 s; however, for the proposed nonlinear controller, there is no overshoot and transient time within 2 s. The proposed method has a faster response and stronger robustness. With a designed bi-DSP suspension controller, this nonlinear control method was implemented on the Shanghai Urban Maglev Test Line (SUMTL) to validate its effectiveness and feasibility.
