In-situ generation of platinum nanoparticles on LaCoO3 matrix for soot oxidation

The LaCo_0.94Pt_0.06O₃ catalyst is reduced under 5% H₂/Ar at different temperatures to get Pt/LaCoO₃ with high catalytic activity for soot oxidation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H₂-temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), O₂-temperature programmed desorption (O₂-TPD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to study the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. SEM and TEM results indicate that Pt nanoparticles (<10 nm) are grown homogeneously on the surface of the LaCoO₃ matrix after in-situ reduction. XRD shows that the reduced catalyst has a high symmetrical structure. TGA results indicate that all reduced catalysts exhibit an excellent activity, especially the catalyst reduced at 350 °C (T₁₀ = 338 °C, T₅₀ = 393 °C, T₉₀ = 427 °C). And perovskite is the primary active component. According to XPS study, the high symmetrical structure benefits the mobility of oxygen vacancy, and Pt nanoparticles induce the oxygen vacancy to move to its adjacent situation, resulting in more adsorbed oxygen on the surface of the reduced catalyst and increasing the activity. The possible reaction principle is also proposed.     

Preparation of M/Ce1–xTixO2 (M=Pt,Rh, Ru) from sol-gel method and their catalytic oxidation activity for diesel soot

A series of Ce_1–xTi_xO₂ mixed oxide catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and then loading of noble metal (M = Pt, Rh, Ru) was used for soot oxidation. Ti-doped Ce_1–xTi_xO₂ catalysts (x is the molar ratio of Ti/(Ti + Ce) and ranges from 0.1 to 0.5) exhibit much better oxidation performance than CeO₂ catalyst, and the Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂ catalyst calcined at 500 °C has the best catalysis activity. Each noble metal (1 wt%) was supported on Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂ (M/C9T1) and the properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and H₂-temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR) results. Results show that the introduction of Ti into CeO₂ forming Ti-O-Ce structure enhances the catalytic activity and increases the number of oxygen vacancies at the catalyst surface. The noble metal is highly dispersed over Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂, and M/C9T1 catalysts present enhanced activity in comparison to Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂. It is found that noble metals can greatly increase the activity of the catalyst and the corresponding oxidation rate of soot can enhance the electron transfer capacity and oxygen adsorption capacity of the catalyst. A small amount of Ti doping in CeO₂ can significantly improve the activity of the catalyst, while a large amount of Ti reduces the performance of the catalyst because a large amount of Ti is enriched on the surface of the catalyst, which hinders the contact and reaction between the catalyst and the soot.     

Ni2+、Cu2+、Zn2+对氧化亚铁硫杆菌氧化 活性影响

为研究金属离子对氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,At.f）氧化活性的影响,通过测定经初步驯化的At.f菌在不同初始pH下的生长活性,开展不同浓度梯度的Ni2+、Cu2+、Zn2+及三种金属离子共存时对At.f菌的氧化活性影响的试验。结果表明,当初始pH为1.8时,At.f菌生长活性最好,且低浓度的Ni2+、Zn2+对At.f菌氧化活性影响较小,对两种金属离子的耐受浓度均在20 g/L以上;而该细菌对Cu2+比较敏感,当Cu2+浓度为2.5 g/L时,菌株的生长活性明显下降,特别是10 g/L时,对At.f菌的氧化能力有显著的抑制作用。三种金属离子同时存在时对At.f菌氧化活性的影响大于单一金属离子,当三种金属离子的浓度均为2.5 g/L时,在48小时内对At.f菌的氧化能力有显著的抑制作用,当三种金属离子的浓度均为5 g/L时,80小时时菌株对Fe2+的氧化率极低,说明At.f菌需要经过多种金属离子共存驯化培养后才能更好地运用于多金属复杂矿物的处理。

Microstructural evidence for short-circuit oxygen diffusion paths in the oxidation of a dilute Ni-Cr alloy

A comparative study of high-temperature oxidation of Ni containing 1 at.% Cr and pure Ni was carried out. Instead of the conventional kinetics study using thermogravimetry, a microlithographic marker experiment was designed. Observation of the markers using cross-sectional TEM and SEM has revealed striking differences in the scale morphology, microstructures, and oxidation mechanisms between pure Ni and the Cr-doped Ni substrates. In particular, the results suggest that a small addition of Cr promotes significant inward transport of oxygen. Marker experiments revealed that NiO grown on pure Ni is wholly attributable to outward-cation diffusion. In contrast, NiO grown on Ni–1 at.% Cr exhibited formation of a substantial inner layer having a submicron grain size, established by the markers to have formed from oxygen ingress. For pure Ni, voids were observed to be distributed only within oxide grains. In contrast, for Ni containing 1 at.% Cr, elongated pores formed extensively along oxide-grain boundaries. Formation of new fine-grain oxide in these pores was observed to have sometimes completely resealed the void. It is, therefore, proposed that the transport of oxygen in the case of oxide scale grown on Ni–1 at.% Cr occurs via voids (pores) formed by vacancy coalescence at the grain boundaries.     

Enhanced oxidation of the 9%Cr steel P91 in water vapour containing environments

The short term (∼100 h) oxidation behaviour of the 9%Cr steel P91 was studied at 650 °C in N₂-O₂-H₂O gas mixtures containing a relatively low oxygen level of 1%. The oxidation kinetics were measured thermogravimetrically and the oxide scale growth mechanisms were studied using H₂¹⁸O-tracer with subsequent analyses of oxide scale composition and tracer distribution by MCs⁺-SIMS depth profiling. The corrosion products were additionally characterised by light optical microscopy, SEM-EDX and XRD. It was found that the transition from protective, Cr-rich oxide formation into non-protective mixed oxide scales is governed by the ratio H₂O^(g)/O₂ ratio rather than the absolute level of H₂O^(g). The results of the tracer studies in combination with the data obtained from experiments involving in situ gas changes clearly illustrated that under the prevailing conditions the penetration of water vapour molecules triggers the enhanced oxidation and sustains the high growth rates of the poorly protective Fe-rich oxide scale formed in atmospheres with high H₂O^(g)/O₂ ratios. The experimental observations can be explained if one assumes the scale growth to be governed by a competitive adsorption of oxygen and water vapour molecules on external and internal surfaces of the oxide scales in combination with the formation of a volatile Fe-hydroxide during transient oxidation. The formation of the non-protective Fe-rich oxide scales is suppressed in atmospheres with low H₂O^(g)/O₂ -ratios, and the healing of any such scale is promoted.

Oxidation Behavior of a Single-Crystal Ni-Base Superalloy in Air—II: At 1000, 1100, and 1150°C

The oxidation behavior of a single-crystal (SC) Ni-base superalloy was studied over the temperature range from 1000–1150°C and analysed by TGA, XRD, EDAX, and SEM. The results indicated that the SC Ni-base superalloy exhibited parabolic oxidation kinetics, which were controlled by the growth of the inner -Al₂O₃ layer. A mixed scale formed on the SC Ni-base superalloy after prolonged oxidation. The scale consisted of an outer layer of spinel, a sublayer of mainly -Al₂O₃ with small amount of spinel adjoined by a very thin and even discontinuous layer of CrTaO₄-rich oxide, and an inner -Al₂O₃ layer. The inner -Al₂O₃ layer provided good protection. No internal oxides or nitrides were observed below the inner -Al₂O₃ layer after 1000 hr at 1000°C, and after 200 hr at 1100 and 1150°C.

Observations on the role of oxide scales in high-temperature erosion-corrosion of alloys

The results are presented of exposure to a controlled high-temperature erosive gas stream of a series of alloys, which were selected to represent the range of microstructures and mechanical properties available in commercial high-temperature alloys. Analysis of the kinetic and morphological data suggested that the high-temperature oxidation behavior of a given alloy plays a very important role in determining its erosion-corrosion behavior under the conditions studied. In terms of relative behavior, alloys which are weak but ductile at temperature, and which form tenacious oxide scales, exhibited the highest resistance to high-temperature erosion-corrosion. Simple models were developed to describe the expected interaction between high-temperature oxidation and erosion.
