Reforming of methane with carbon dioxide over supported bimetallic catalysts containing Ni and noble metal: I. Characterization and activity of SiO2 supported Ni–Rh catalysts

Cobalt catalysts supported on silica aerogel have been prepared using sol–gel chemistry followed by drying under supercritical ethanol conditions. Three different loadings of cobalt were synthesized: 2, 6, and 10% by weight. Transmission electron micrographs indicate that the metallic cobalt exists as discrete particles 50–70 nm in diameter for the 2 and 6% loadings. The 10% catalyst shows long needles of cobalt. BET and BJH measurements indicate that the catalysts retain the silica aerogel properties of high surface area (∼800 m²/g), large pore volume (∼5 cm³/g), and an average pore diameter in the mesoporous regime (∼25 nm). The catalysts were evaluated for Fischer–Tropsch activity in a laboratory-scale packed bed reactor. All three catalysts were active with the 10% Co catalyst achieving more than 20% CO conversion which corresponds to a rate of 1.53 g CO per g-cat per hour. The catalysts were selective for the C₁₀₊ hydrocarbons with more than 50% of the carbon contained within this fraction. A significant portion of the C₉–C₁₅ hydrocarbon product was observed as 1-olefins which reflects the enhanced mass transport within the very porous aerogel support.     

碱金属和锌对高炉用SiAlON结合刚玉砖的复合侵蚀

将高炉用SiAlON结合刚玉砖制成外部尺寸为50mm×50mm,内孔尺寸为25mm×25mm的坩埚,分别加入由Na2CO3、K2CO3、ZnO和宝钢高炉现场高炉灰配制的炉渣(其w(Na2O+K2O)=2.75%,w(ZnO)=5.1%)和用K2CO3、ZnO、石墨配制的炉渣(其w(Na2O+K2O)=25%,w(ZnO)=25%),然后分别在还原气氛下于1350℃16h和1100℃40h进行侵蚀试验。将侵蚀后的试样纵向对称剖开,观察渣对试样的侵蚀和渗透情况,进行SEM和EDAX分析。结果表明:碱金属和锌含量不同的两种炉渣对SiAlON结合刚玉砖的侵蚀速度都很小;碱金属侵蚀机理主要是SiAlON与碱蒸气反应生成钾霞石,与渣反应生成铁橄榄石,并参与硅酸盐玻璃相的生成;刚玉颗粒与渣中的FeO、Na2O和K2O反应生成铁铝尖晶石和少量针状β-Al2O3;锌对该砖没有产生明显的化学侵蚀。     

Comparative electrochemical studies of zinc chromate and zinc phosphate as corrosion inhibitors for zinc

The anticorrosive performance of two inhibitive pigments, zinc chromate and zinc phosphate, was compared using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) in pigment extracts in 0.1 M NaCl. It was observed that zinc was protected from corrosion in both extracts. In tests using hot dip galvanised steel painted with an epoxy primer incorporating the pigments, the SVET detected the anodic and cathodic distribution along the scribes, although no significant differences were observed among the various primers. On the contrary, EIS was able to distinguish processes occurring on the metal surface exposed by the scribe in different samples. For primers with anticorrosive pigment, a time constant at high frequencies was attributed to a layer of protective nature, probably formed by metal ions from the substrate and inhibitive ions leached from the anticorrosive pigments.     

离子束加速电压对真空电弧沉积Ti(C,N)涂层性能的影响

利用等离子辅助真空电孤沉积技术分别在高速钢片和单晶硅片制备了Ti(C,N）涂层，通过X-射线衍射和扫描电镜研究了不同离子加速电压对单晶硅片上涂层结构和组织形貌的影响，并测定了高速钢片上涂层的显微硬度，同时进行了耐磨性实验。结果表明：涂层主要由TiN和Ti(C,N）组成，随着离子束加速电压的增大，涂层的沉积速度增大，Ti(C,N）的衍射峰不断宽化，晶格尺寸发生变化，但其表面形貌不受影响；当离子束加速电压为1500V时，涂层有较高的耐磨性和显微硬度，当离子束加速电压为2500V时，涂层的耐磨性和显微硬度都有所下降：

Removal of Ag(l), Cu(II) and Zn(ll) ions with a supported liquid membrane containing cryptands as carriers

The interface behaviour in the facilitated co-transport of Ag(I), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions through supported liquid membranes (SLMs) made of a flat-sheet polypropylene membrane support containing cryptands (2.2.2 or 2.2.1) as carriers was studied. The liquid-liquid extraction tests showed a maximum distribution coefficient when the carrier concentration was greaterthan 10⁻⁴M. In transport experiments the transmembrane flux increased with increasing carrier concentration reaching a limiting value at greater than 10⁻³M concentration. The calculation ofthe diffusion coefficients in membranes showed ahigherdiffusivityof2.2.2-metal complexes with respect to 2.2.1-metal complexes for silver ions. A sequence of diffusivity D(Ag+)>D(Cu²⁺)>D(Zn²⁺) was obtained, but carrier 2.2.1 showed a higher selectivity through copper ions. A sequence of diffusivity D(Cu²⁺)>D(Zn²⁺)>D(Ag⁺) was obtained. The diffusivity was significantly higher when using Celgard 2500 support compared to Celgard 2400 or 2402. Variable metal ion concentrations in the feed phase fluxes almost zero, at less than 10⁻² M concentration, were obtained. In the transient state of the transport through the SLM, different molar flow rates at the feed-membrane and membrane-strip interfaces were observed. The selectivity of the interfaces containing 2.2.2 in the separation binary mixtures of ions showed the following separation factors: SF_AgZn = 2.50, SF_AgCu = 1.64, SF_cuZn = 1.42.

Preparation of zinc ferrite in the presence of carbon material and its application to hot-gas cleaning

In order to develop an efficient absorbent of H₂S in coal gasification, zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄) was prepared in the presence of carbon materials such as activated carbon (AC), activated carbon fiber (ACF), and Yallourn coal (YL). The absorption behavior of absorbents for H₂S was examined using a fixed-bed flow type reactor equipped with a quadrupole mass spectrometer.Carbon material-supported ZnFe₂O₄ exhibited larger desulfurization capacity for H₂S than unsupported ferrites. They could efficiently remove H₂S from 4000 ppm levels in a simulated coal gasification gas to less than 1 ppm at 500 °C. The absorption capacity of H₂S with ZnFe₂O₄/AC, ZnFe₂O₄/ACF, and ZnFe₂O₄/YL exhibited nearly 100% of stoichiometric amount of loaded metal species. They could be regenerated by an air oxidation in O₂-Ar (50 vol%) at 450 °C for 30 min. The regenerated ferrite can be used for repeated absorption of H₂S with a very slight decrease in the absorption capacity.     

Unsteady radiative heat transfer within a suspension of ZnO particles undergoing thermal dissociation

An emitting, absorbing, and anisotropically scattering plain medium containing a suspension of ZnO particles is considered, in which the particles are directly exposed to high-flux irradiation and undergo shrinkage during their endothermic dissociation into Zn(g) and O₂ at above 2100 K. The unsteady energy equation that links the rate of radiative heat transfer to the rate of the chemical reaction is formulated and solved numerically by the finite volume technique and the explicit Euler time-integration scheme. The path-length Monte Carlo method is applied for modeling the radiative transfer within the suspension using the absorption/scattering coefficients and the scattering phase function obtained from the Mie theory. It is found that the particle suspension can be heated rapidly from its initial 300 K to over 1800 K in less than 0.1 s, resulting in a more uniform temperature profile as the reaction progresses, particles shrink, and the suspension becomes optically thinner. The chemical conversion increases with decreasing initial particle diameter and volume fraction due to the efficient radiative absorption.
