Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in acid chloride solution using ethoxylated fatty alkyl amine surfactants

Four novel non-ionic ethoxylated fatty alkyl amine surfactants (I–IV) were synthesised and investigated as corrosion inhibitors of carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution using gravimetric, open circuit potential and potentiostatic polarisation techniques. The percentage inhibition efficiency (η%) for each inhibitor increased with increasing concentration until the critical micelle concentration (cmc) was reached. The maximum inhibition efficiency approached 95.1% in the presence of 400 ppm of the inhibitor (IV). It was found that the adsorption of the surfactants on carbon steel followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Potentiostatic polarisation data indicated that these surfactants act as mixed type inhibitors. The values of activation energy (E _a*) of carbon steel dissolution in 1 M HCl were calculated in the absence and presence of 400 ppm of each inhibitor. Finally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the surface morphology of polished carbon steel surfaces and those immersed in 1 M HCl in the absence and presence of 400 ppm of inhibitor (IV).     

FORCED CONVECTIVE MASS TRANSFER IN ANNULI

Mass transfer in annuli has been critically examined for various flow situations. The overall mass transfer rate depends on the hydrodynamic regions prevailing in the annular channel as well as on its dimensions. Theoretically consistent correlations are proposed and recommended for both developed and developing boundary layers under laminar and turbulent flow conditions.

Electrochemical investigation of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 thin film intercalation electrodes

This work provides kinetic and transport parameters of Li-ion during its extraction/insertion into thin film LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ free of binder and conductive additive. Thin films of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (0.2 μm thick) were prepared on electronically conductive gold substrate utilizing the electrostatic spray deposition technique. High purity LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ thin film electrodes were observed with cyclic voltammetry, to exhibit very sharp peaks, high reversibility, and absence of the 4 V signal related to the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ redox couple. The electrode subjected to 100 CV cycles of charge/discharge delivered a capacity of 155 mAh g⁻¹ on the first cycle and sustained a good cycling behavior while retaining 91% of the initial capacity after 50 cycles. Kinetics and mass-transport of Li-ion extraction at LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ thin film electrode were investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The apparent chemical diffusion coefficient (D_app) value determined from EIS measurements changed depending on the electrode potential in the range of 10⁻¹⁰-10⁻¹² cm² s⁻¹. The D_app profile shows two minimums at the potential values close to the peak potentials of the corresponding cyclic voltammogram.     

A novel layered Li [Li0.12NizMg0.32−zMn0.56]O2 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Layered Li[Li_0.12Ni_zMg_0.32−zMn_0.56]O₂ oxide cathodes containing lithium atoms in the transition metal layers were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic cycling, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Li[Li_0.12Ni_zMg_0.32−zMn_0.56]O₂ cathodes deliver a specific discharge capacity of about 190 mAh/g at room temperature and 236 mAh/g at 55 °C when cycled between 2.7 and 4.6 V versus Li/Li⁺. Excellent capacity retention and smooth potential profiles at room and elevated temperatures over extended cycles suggest that this material does not convert into a spinel structure.     

Upgrading of gas oils: the HDS kinetics of dibenzothiophene and its derivatives in real gas oil

The hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4-methyl dibenzothiophene (4 M-DBT), 4,6-dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6 DM-DBT) and 4,6-diethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6 DE-DBT) as real gas oil components on NiMo/Al₂O₃ catalyst was investigated. On the basis of the first order rate constants of HDS of the individual sulphur compounds reactivities of the investigated compounds decreased in the order DBT ≫ 4 M-DBT > 4,6 DE-DBT ≈ 4,6 DM-DBT. Apparent activation energies of HDS of above sulphur compounds increased from 80.0 to 120.5 kJ/mol.     

Removal of chromium (VI) from dilute aqueous solutions by activated carbon developed from Terminalia arjuna nuts activated with zinc chloride

Different structured activated carbons were prepared from Terminalia arjuna nuts, an agricultural waste, by chemical activation with zinc chloride for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from dilute aqueous solutions. The most important parameter in chemical activation was found to be the chemical ratio (activating agent/precursor, g/g). Carbonization temperature and time are the other two important variables, which had significant effect on the pore structure of carbon. A high surface area of was obtained at a chemical ratio of 300%, carbonization time and temperature of 1 h and 500 °C, respectively. The activated carbon developed shows substantial capability to adsorb Cr(VI) from dilute aqueous solutions. The parameters studied include pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentrations. The kinetic data were best fitted to the Lagergren pseudo-first-order model. The isotherm equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum removal of chromium was obtained at pH 1.0 (about 99% for adsorbent dose of 2 g/l and 10 mg/l initial concentration).     

Synthesis and electrochemical characteristics of Al2O3-coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials for lithium ion batteries

LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode materials have been coated with Al₂O₃ nano-particles using sol-gel processing to improve its electrochemical properties. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the as-prepared Al₂O₃ nano-particles was indexed to the cubic structure of the γ-Al₂O₃ phase and had an average size of ∼4 nm. The XRD showed that the structure of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was not affected by the Al₂O₃ coating. However, the Al₂O₃ coatings on LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ improved the cyclic life performance and rate capability without decreasing its initial discharge capacity. These electrochemical properties were also compared with those of LiAlO₂-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode material. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was studied to understand the enhanced electrochemical properties of the Al₂O₃-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ compared to uncoated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂.     

Study on the synthesis of thiirane

In this study, a thiirane resin was synthesized by the reaction of corresponding epoxy resin with KSCN. The synthetic conditions influencing the conversion of epoxy group were systematically investigated, such as the reaction temperature, reaction media, reaction time and the ratio of KSCN to epoxy group. It was found that the conversion of epoxy group increased with the increasing reaction temperature, improving the solubility of the mediate, extending reaction time, and the enhancing ratio of salt (KSCN) to epoxy group. Wherein, the reaction temperature and the ratio of the KSCN to epoxy group were more effective. For example, when the molar ratio of KSCN to epoxy group was equal to 2.0, the conversion of epoxy group got the maximum value, 0.65. In addition, the hot plate method was used to measure the gelling time of the resultant thiirane resin at different temperatures. It was found that the gelling time was reduced to 47–85% times as the corresponding epoxy resin depending on the conversion of the epoxy group, and the curing activation energy was diminished from 39 kJ/mol of epoxy resin to 17 kJ/mol. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
