油浆脱固及应用于调和低硫船燃可行性研究

催化油浆是催化裂化装置生产汽油、柴油等高附加值产品时产生的副产品,部分供应系统内企业用作焦化原料,其余产出油浆作为燃料油低价销售,效益价值体现不明显.经核算,通过将低附加值的催化油浆作为低硫船用燃料油调和组分,经济价值更高.为进一步降低低硫船用燃料油的生产成本,减轻生产负荷,提高催化产物利用率,将脱固后的油浆加入到调和...     

The Essential Role of PRAK in Preserving Cardiac Function and Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet-Induced Diabetes

Regulated/activated protein kinase (PRAK) plays a crucial role in modulating biological function. However, the role of PRAK in mediating cardiac dysfunction and metabolic disorders remains unclear. We examined the effects of deletion of PRAK on modulating cardiac function and insulin resistance in mice exposed to a high-fat diet (HFD). Wild-type and PRAK^−/− mice at 8 weeks old were exposed to either chow food or HFD for a consecutive 16 weeks. Glucose tolerance tests and insulin tolerance tests were employed to assess insulin resistance. Echocardiography was employed to assess myocardial function. Western blot was used to determine the molecular signaling involved in phosphorylation of IRS-1, AMPKα, ERK-44/42, and irisin. Real time-PCR was used to assess the hypertrophic genes of the myocardium. Histological analysis was employed to assess the hypertrophic response, interstitial myocardial fibrosis, and apoptosis in the heart. Western blot was employed to determine cellular signaling pathway. HFD-induced metabolic stress is indicated by glucose intolerance and insulin intolerance. PRAK knockout aggravated insulin resistance, as indicated by glucose intolerance and insulin intolerance testing as compared with wild-type littermates. As compared with wild-type mice, hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia were manifested in PRAK-knockout mice following high-fat diet intervention. High-fat diet intervention displayed a decline in fractional shortening and ejection fraction. However, deletion of PRAK exacerbated the decline in cardiac function as compared with wild-type mice following HFD treatment. In addition, PRAK knockout mice enhanced the expression of myocardial hypertrophic genes including ANP, BNP, and βMHC in HFD treatment, which was also associated with an increase in cardiomyocyte size and interstitial fibrosis. Western blot indicated that deletion of PRAK induces decreases in phosphorylation of IRS-1, AMPKα, and ERK44/42 as compared with wild-type controls. Our finding indicates that deletion of PRAK promoted myocardial dysfunction, cardiac remodeling, and metabolic disorders in response to HFD.

Induction plasma spheroidization of ZrB2-SiC powders for plasma-spray coating

To improve the microstructure and properties of ZrB₂-SiC (ZrB₂-30?vol%SiC, Z7S3) coatings, a facile synthesis route involving induction plasma spheroidization (IPS) has been proposed, and the morphologies, particle size distributions, and phase compositions of the feedstock powders were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam techniques. The obtained results showed that the surfaces of the produced powders contained eutectic-like and granular zones. Owing to the existence of a temperature gradient, the internal microstructure of the IPS-treated powder exhibited a three-layered structure consisting of a ′surface shell′, a ′transition layer′, and a ′porous core′. Additionally, the properties of the IPS-treated samples were compared with those of the spray-dried (SD) powders. The former exhibited good plastic deformation properties, and their single splats contained flattened structures, while the single splats of the SD powder melted only partially retaining some of their original characteristics.     

Tunable multicolor upconversion luminescence of Yb3+ sensitized Na3La(VO4)2 crystals

Multicolor upconversion luminescence materials show significantly applications in materials science. In this paper, the novel Yb³⁺-sensitized Na₃La(VO₄)₂ upconversion luminescence crystals are synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. Three primary colors upconversion luminescence are successfully achieved in Na₃La(VO₄)₂:Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺, Na₃La(VO₄)₂:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺, and Na₃La(VO₄)₂:Yb³⁺,Ho³⁺ crystals excited by the single 980 nm LD. Multicolor upconversion luminescence can be obtained by simply adjusting the combination ratios of these three samples. Luminescence mechanisms of the Yb³⁺-sensitized system are discussed in detail. In the Na₃La(VO₄)₂ host material, the Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ codoped system exhibits unusual red upconversion luminescence based on the short decay time of Ho³⁺ ion ⁵I₆ level, which provides the possibility of three primary color luminescence under 980 nm excitation.

Improved thermal shock resistance of SiCnw/PyC core-shell structure-toughened CVD-SiC coating

In-situ SiC nanowire (SiCnw)/pyrolytic carbon (PyC) core-shell structures were introduced to mainly improve the thermal shock performance of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-SiC coating on carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. The microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties of the CVD-SiC coating toughened by SiCnw/PyC core-shell structures were studied as well. The results show that the introduction of SiCnw/PyC core-shell structures can effectively alleviate the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between SiC coating and C/C substrate, thus enhancing the thermal shock resistance of the coating. Furthermore, the increased numbers of interfaces in the SiC coating owing to the addition of core-shell structures are beneficial to the mechanical properties of the coating after thermal shock test.
