Integrated UV-based photo microreactor-distillation technology toward process intensification of continuous ultra-high-purity electronic-grade silicon tetrachloride manufacture

Ultra-high-purity silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄) is demanded as an electronic-grade chemical to meet the stringent requirements of the rapidly developing semiconductor industry. The high requirement for ultra-high-purity SiCl₄ has created the need for a high-efficient process for reducing energy consumption as well as satisfying product quality. In this paper, a mass of production technology of ultra-high-purity SiCl₄ was successfully developed through chlorination reaction in the ultraviolet (UV)-based photo microreactor coupled with the distillation process. The influences of key operational parameters, including temperature, pressure, UV wavelength and light intensity on the product quality, especially for hydrogen-containing impurities, were quantified by the infrared transmittance of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) at 2185 cm⁻¹ and 2160 cm⁻¹ indicating that characteristic vibrational modes of SiH bonds, as well as the operating conditions of distillation were also investigated as key factors for metal impurities removing. The advanced intensification of SiCl₄ manufactured by the integration of photo microreactor and distillation achieves the products with superior specifications higher than the standard commercial products.

Effects of yttrium on the formation and magnetic properties of bulk metallic glassy （Fe, Co）-B-Si-Nb alloys

The bulk metallic glassy (BMG) rods of [(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.72B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]100-xYx (x=0-6) and [(FexCo1-x)0.72B0.192Si0.04]Nb0.04]96Y4 (x=0.5-0.8) were prepared by copper mold casting. The structure, thermal stability,and magnetic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Adding lat% to 6at% of yt-trium, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.72B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]100-xYx (x=0-6) with the diameter of 3 mm were not formed, and the sample with 4at% of yttrium showed less crystalline phase than others. When the Fe/Co atomic ratio was between 5:5 and 7:3, the bulk glassy alloy rods of [(Fe1-xCox)B0.192Si0.048Nb0.04]96Y4 (x=0.5-0.8) with the diameter of 2 mm were fabricated. In the (Fe, Co)-B-Si-Nb-Y BMGs, when the Fe content increased, the thermal stability, the supercooled liquid region, and the glass-forming ability (GFA) decreased, but the saturation magnetization (Ms) increased.

Optimization of Waste Gate Drive Circuit of Two-Stage Turbocharging System

A two stage turbocharging control system was proposed, in which the pressure regulator valve with a close-loop pressure adjusting function instead of a high speed on-off solenoid valve, is used as a driving mechanism of waste gate. A digital-analog (DA)conversion circuit based on pulse width modulation (PWM) generates one analog voltage signal required by the pressure regulating valve control. The principle of the DA conversion circuit was analyzed, meanwhile, the performance of the conversion circuit was improved by adopting a speed-up capacitor, which helps to increase the stability and responsiveness of the control voltage generated by the conversion circuit; the structure parameters of the circuit was optimized by simulation. After the optimization, the ripple wave of circuit output voltage was kept within 16.mV under the 12.bit conversion accuracy, the conversion time of the circuit could be reduced to 4.ms. The engine bench test show that the turbocharging boost pressure control system which adopted the circuit had a rather good stable control accuracy(the steady state within 0.8%) and dynamic response(the regulation time is less than 4.s).

Efficient Preparation and Characterization of Functional Graphene with Versatile Applicability

Graphene, as star versatile materials having extraordinarily high electric conductivity, electron mobility, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, optical transparency, and mechanical strength, has attracted much attention from scientists and engineers in the field of materials, chemistry, physics, energy, and environment in the last decade and achieved fruitful accomplishment. This review discusses preparation strategies, functionality, characterization, and applications for two dimensional nanosheet and quasi-one-dimensional nanoribbon of graphene through direct exfoliation of graphite, chemical vapor deposition of hydrocarbon, laser-induced direct synthesis of graphene, laser etched graphene oxide in the dry state without the use of toxic reducing agent hydrazine, unzipping carbon nanotube, and polycondensation of polycyclic aromatics on the basis of 178 representative references mostly in 2015. The stabilization of graphene oxide prepared in chemical preparation in "top-down" is emphasized. Several vital classic methods of characterizing molecular structure, C/O ratio, defect, morphology, single-or few-layered (2 to 10 layers) structure, porous and hollow structures, including Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, TEM, STM, electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are systematically introduced. Because graphene possesses novel incomparable multifunctionalities, its versatile applications as novel conducting additives, reinforcing filler, separation membrane, sensor, anticorrosive coating, catalyst, electromagnetic shield, lubricant, and flexible electrode materials in electrochemical and electronic devices, including photovoltaic cells, supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, sensors, field effect transistors, light emitting diodes, separation membranes, adsorbents and absorbents, catalysts, electro-optic modulator, terahertz emitter and detector, and semiconductors, have been mentioned.Especially in the aspect of both high performance and cost-effectiveness, graphene is expected to be even superior to the expensive carbon nanotubes.     

Bone Tissue Response to the Bone-like Tissue Coating on Titanium

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mineralized bone nodules, formed in vitro by bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs), on the new bone formation in bone defect and on implant surface. The mineralized bone nodules were generated by culture of Lewis rats BMSCs on titanium disks in osteogenic induction medium. The gap-healing animal model was used to create the bone defect facing the disk. The titanium disks in the presence of B group or in the absence of NB group bone nodules were randomly placed into one of the rat distal femurs. This self-control design was used to compare the bone formation in defects and on titanium surface, by Micro-CT, fluorescence staining, histological and histomorphometric analysis. The new bone formation parameters in bone defect area of B group were significantly higher than those of NB group at 2 weeks, including bone volume fraction, trabecular thickness and bone area ratio. The bone nodules pre-stained with Alizarin red disappeared mostly at 2 weeks, while the red fluorescence reappeared in the newly formed bone away from the disk surface. For the bone-implant contact, B group showed lower values than NB group at 2 weeks, but no significant difference was found at 4 weeks. Our results indicate that the mineralized bone nodules can be resorbed in vivo and promote the early osteogenesis in the bone defects, and bone nodules may be applicable for new bone generation in bone defect or modification of tissue engineering scaffold.     

Effects of COD to Phosphorus Ratios on the Metabolism of PAOs in Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal with Different Carbon Sources

To elucidate the phosphorus removal and metabolism under various COD / P ratio,a sludge highly enriched in PAOs was used to investigate the impacts of COD / P in batch tests under different carbon supply conditions. Acetate,propionate and a mixture of acetate and propionate at a ratio of 3 ∶ 1( COD basis) was used as carbon sources with the COD / P of 20,15,10 and 5. 0 g COD /gP,respectively. The minimum COD / P ratios for complete P removal were found to be 8. 24 g COD /gP for acetate,11. 40 g COD /gP for propionate and9. 10 g COD /gP for the 3 ∶ 1 mixture of acetate and propionate. Converted to a mass basis,all three cases had a very similar ratio of 7. 7 g VFA /gP,which represented a useful guide for operation of EBPR plants to identify possible shortages in VFAs. The trend in PHV accumulation during the anaerobic period along with the decrease of COD / P ratios suggested that,PAOs may use the TCA pathway for anaerobic VFA uptake to maintain the required NADH production with reduced glycogen degradation. During the aerobic phase,the glycogen pool was reduced but remained enough compared to the requirement for anaerobic VFA uptake,and the synthesis and degradation of glycogen was not the inhibition factor of PAOs.     

T-Q diagram analyses and entransy optimization of the organic flash cycle(OFC)

The electrical power generation from low temperature heat source attracts more and more attentions but the temperature mismatching between the heat sources and working medium in the organic Rankine cycle(ORC)becomes an issue.The organic flash cycle(OFC)is an effective solution to this issue.In this paper,the OFC is analyzed by the concept of entransy loss and the T-Q(temperature-heat flow rate)diagram for the heat-work conversion.The equations for cycles of the basic OFC and the OFC whose heat source is the exhaust gas of the turbine in a Brayton cycle(the combined cycle)are derived theoretically and the results indicate that larger entransy loss rate leads to larger output power with prescribed inlet parameters of the hot stream in the discussed cases,which is displayed by the T-Qdiagram intuitively.Two numerical examples demonstrate that the optimal mass flow rate of the working medium for the maximum entransy loss rate is the same as that for the maximum output power.The T-Qdiagram analyses is in accordance with the numerical results.The concept of entransy loss can be used as the criteria for the OFC optimization.
