The electrochemical synthesis of poly(o-anisidine) (POA) was achieved on brass (CuZn) electrode by applying two scan rates
(50 and 20 mVs−1). The synthesized polymer films were strongly adherent and homogeneous in both cases. Their corrosion performance was investigated
by AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique, anodic polarization plots and open circuit potential-time curves, in 3.5% NaCl
solution. It was clearly seen that poly(o-anisidine) films provided a significant physical protection for longer exposure
time. It was shown that polymer film coated at high scan rate (CuZn/POA-H) exhibited better barrier property against the attack
of corrosive agents when compared with polymer film obtained at low scan rate (CuZn/POA-L). It was found out that poly(o-anisidine)
film synthesized at high scan rate caused a significant increase in corrosion resistance by its catalytic behavior on formation
of protective oxide layers on the surface in longer time. 相似文献
Garzan oil field is located at the south east of Turkey. It is a mature oil field and the reservoir is fractured carbonate reservoir. After producing about 1% original oil in place (OOIP) reservoir pressure started to decline. Waterflooding was started in order to support reservoir pressure and also to enhance oil production in 1960. Waterflooding improved the oil recovery but after years of flooding water breakthrough at the production wells was observed. This increased the water/oil ratio at the production wells. In order to enhance oil recovery again different techniques were investigated. Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods are gaining attention all over the world for oil recovery. Surfactant injection is an effective way for interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability reversal. In this study, 31 different types of chemicals were studied to specify the effects on oil production. This paper presents solubility of surfactants in brine, IFT and contact angle measurements, imbibition tests, and lastly core flooding experiments. Most of the chemicals were incompatible with Garzan formation water, which has high divalent ion concentration. In this case, the usage of 2-propanol as co-surfactant yielded successful results for stability of the selected chemical solutions. The results of the wettability test indicated that both tested cationic and anionic surfactants altered the wettability of the carbonate rock from oil-wet to intermediate-wet. The maximum oil recovery by imbibition test was reached when core was exposed 1-ethly ionic liquid after imbibition in formation water. Also, after core flooding test, it is concluded that considerable amount of oil can be recovered from Garzan reservoir by waterflooding alone if adverse effects of natural fractures could be eliminated. 相似文献
Two phase-based nanocomposites consisting of dielectric barium titanate (BaTiO3 or BTO) and magnetic spinel ferrite Co0.5Ni0.5Nb0.06Fe1.94O4 (CNNFO) have been synthesized through solid state route. Series of (BaTiO3)1-x + (Co0.5Ni0.5Nb0.06Fe1.94O4)x nanocomposites with x content of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 were considered. The structure has been examined via X-rays diffraction (XRD) and indicated the occurrence of both perovskite BTO and spinel CNNFO phases in various nanocomposites. A phase transition from tetragonal BTO structure to cubic structure occurs with inclusion of CNNFO phase. The average crystallites size of BTO phase decreases, whereas that for the CNNFO phase increases with increasing x in various nanocomposites. The morphological observations revealed that the porosity is highly reduced, and the connectivity between grains is enhanced with increasing x content. The optical properties have been investigated by UV−vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The deduced band gap energy (Eg) value is found to reduce with increasing the content of spinel ferrite phase. The magnetic as well as the dielectric properties were also investigated. The analysis showed that CNNFO ferrite phase greatly affects the magnetic properties and dielectric response of BTO material. The obtained findings can be useful to enhance the performances of magneto-dielectric composite-based systems. 相似文献
A comparative study on corrosion behaviors of various Mg-Al-Zn alloys (AZ21, AZ41, AZ61 and AZ91 series, cast under same cooling conditions and controlled alloying composition) was carried out. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for microstructural examinations. The corrosion behaviors were evaluated by immersion tests and potentiodynamic polarization measurements in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results showed that the influence of Al addition on corrosion resistance was more pronounced up to 4% (i.e. AZ41) above which its influence was at less extent. The deterioration of the corrosion resistance of the alloys, at higher Al contents, was attributed to the amount and morphology of β-Mg17Al12 intermetallics and the interruption of continuity of the oxide film on the surface of the alloys owing to coarsened β intermetallics. 相似文献
A decentralized control approach is presented for a network of robotic sensors to achieve the global coordination: group aggregation or consensus flocking. Each robotic sensor obeys three local interaction rules: group cohesion, collision avoidance and velocity alignment. Accordingly, the resultant control law for each robotic sensor is composed of three associated control components. The cohesion control component is based on geometry and additionally enables maintaining initial interconnection of network. The alignment control component ensures that all members in an interconnected network eventually reach to a common velocity. The control component for collision avoidance among members, as a passive role, is embedded in cohesion control. Simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed control approach in achieving the coordination behaviour with an initially interconnected network. However, we observed that an initially non-interconnected network may also achieve the coordination behaviour depending on the initial distribution and velocities. Initial interconnection of a network is only a sufficient but not essential condition for the network to achieve the coordination behaviour for our control approach. 相似文献
The present work investigates gold recovery using DEAE-cellulose, a common biopolymer derivative, from synthetically prepared diluted gold-bearing solutions of 50 ppm. The effects of different recovery parameters on gold recovery efficiency were studied in detail. It was demonstrated that gold recovery efficiency increased with an increasing amount of sorbent, as well as increasing contact time. A gold recovery efficiency of 99% was attained under conditions of 20–40 g DEAE-cellulose per liter at a shaking rate of 130 rpm for 30 min at room temperature. On the other hand, with smaller amounts of sorbent (6 g/l), it was also possible to recover gold from the solution with 99% efficiency when the reaction temperature was increased to 60 °C. The shaking rate and temperature were demonstrated to play a vital role in the recovery process. It was also found that gold recovery by DEAE-cellulose is an intermediate-controlled process with an activation energy of 37.11 kJ/mol. The XRD pattern and SEM images revealed that the recovered gold was in the metallic form. 相似文献

Today, the design of antenna arrays is very important in providing effective and efficient wireless communication. The purpose of antenna array synthesis is to obtain a radiation pattern with a low side lobe level (SLL) at a desired half power beam width in far-field. The amplitude and position values of the array elements can be optimized to obtain a radiation pattern with suppressed SLLs. In this paper, swarm-based metaheuristic algorithms including particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC), mayfly algorithm (MA) and jellyfish search (JS) are compared to determine the optimal design of linear antenna arrays. Extensive experiments are conducted on designing 10-, 16-, 24- and 32-element linear arrays by determining the amplitude and positions. Experiments are repeated 30 times due to the random nature of swarm-based optimizers, and statistical results show that the performance of the novel algorithms, MA and JS, is better than that of the well-known PSO and ABC methods.
