Effect of oxygen flow rate on the structural and electrochemical properties of lithium nickel oxides synthesized by the sol–gel method

The structural and electrochemical properties of LiNiO₂ powders were investigated as a function of the oxygen flow rate employed in the preparation of lithium nickel oxide. It was found that oxygen played an important role in the synthesis of highly crystallized LiNiO₂(R3¯m). In the crystallization process of LiNiO₂, a deficiency of oxygen in the calcination reactor induced the formation of impurities and cubic rock-salt structure (Fm3m) in LiNiO₂ powders. For LiNiO₂ prepared at higher oxygen flow rates, the electrode delivered high discharge capacities with relatively good retention rates. But very low electrode capacity was obtained from LiNiO₂ prepared at lower oxygen flow rates.

Crystalline and viscoelastic properties of branched polyethylenes synthesized using bidentate nickel (II) catalyst

In this work, five branched polyethylenes with different branching units were synthesized using bidentate nickel (II) catalyst containing -diimine ligands. For comparison, one linear polyethylene was also prepared using tridentate iron (II) catalyst containing -diimine ligand. The crystalline structure of the polyethylenes was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarized optical microscope. The crystalline properties were also measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Viscoelastic properties of the polyethylenes were investigated using rheometric dynamic analyzer. The DSC and XRD results showed that highly branched polyethylenes exhibit no melting points and no predominating crystalline forms, while the linear polyethylene exhibits clear orthorhombic (110) and (200) reflections on XRD pattern and a clear melting point at 118 °C. The viscoelastic properties of the branched polyethylenes were very complicated due to the combined effect of the molecular weight difference and the degree of chain branching as well as the branching structure.

Density measurements on levitated liquid metal droplets

Electromagnetic levitation is a useful tool for measuring thermophysical properties of high-temperature melts such as liquid metals. Due to its noncontact nature, the undercooled regime is also accessible. Density and thermal expansion of a levitated drop can be derived from volume measurements, if its mass is known. Assuming cylindrical symmetry, the volume of a drop can be determined from its cross section. Using photography, such measurements on liquid metals have been performed in the past. Here we present an improvement of this method, which replaces the photographic camera with a CCD videocamera and subsequent digital image processing. This reduces the time effect required to obtain the results and allows one to average over disturbing surface oscillations. The specific problems of digital image processing, namely resolution and edge detection, are addressed and results on nickel are presented.Paper presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Subsecond Thermophysics, June 27–29, 1991, Köln, Germany.     

Electrodeionisation 3: The removal of nickel ions from dilute solutions

The removal of nickel ions from dilute solutions using a process that combines an ion-exchange bed with electrodialysis has been studied. The main aspects include: the concentration of nickel ions in the diluate, the voltage over the cell and the current density distribution along the ion-exchange bed. The current density distribution provides insight into the state of the bed as it is simultaneously loaded with Ni²⁺ and regenerated with an electric potential difference applied perpendicular to it. A simple model is used to describe the state of the bed and the quantity of nickel removed from it as a function of time. Under specific conditions the precipitation of metal hydroxides is observed in the compartment containing the ion-exchange bed. The results show that hydroxide precipitation is related to the nickel concentration in solution and the electric potential gradient across the bed.     

Design of new systems for transfer hydrogenolysis of polychlorinated aromatics with 2-propanol using a Raney nickel catalyst

A multipurpose study deals with the transfer hydrogenolysis of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene to benzene in the 2-propanol–Raney nickel system in the presence of KOH. At 70 °C, no reaction occurs without KOH or with weaker bases, e.g. amines or poorly soluble inorganic bases; however saturated KOH as well as water over 1% suppress the reaction rate, presumably due to the competitive adsorption of these species on the catalyst. The catalytic activity also drops with time because of the deposition of the solid KCl on the catalyst but can be recovered at washing the catalyst with water. The deactivation by KCl can be mitigated with the addition of promoters, e.g. quaternary ammonium salts (Aliquat 336, CTAC) or trioctylamine. Aliquat 336 also promotes hydrodechlorination in the hydrothermal system using a 10% solution of 2-propanol in water, Raney nickel and potassium carbonate as base at 150–200 °C and 10–20 bar. Under these conditions, hexachlorobenzene was also selectively dechlorinated to benzene.

A new microsecond pulse-heating system to investigate thermophysical properties of solid and liquid metals

A new discharge system for resistive self-heating has been constructed for the measurement of accurate thermophysical properties. A constant-current pulse is used to heat metals over a time interval of 50 to 100 s, reaching temperatures up to the boiling point. New techniques have been developed to obtain sound speeds in the pulse-heated sample, emissivities, and vapor pressure. A new pyrometer allows the extension of the measured temperature range down to the melting point of copper.
