Comparative study of bis-piperidiniummethyl-urea and mono-piperidiniummethyl-urea as volatile corrosion inhibitors for mild steel

Bis-piperidiniummethyl-urea (BPMU) and mono-piperidiniummethyl-urea (MPMU) were developed as novel volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs). Their vapor corrosion inhibition property was evaluated by volatile inhibiting sieve test (VIS) and vapor inhibiting ability test (VIA). Volatile weight-loss test in a closed space was used to compare their volatility. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a volatile corrosion inhibitor monitor (VCIM) was applied to study the effect of BPMU and MPMU on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in thin electrolyte layer. The results show that BPMU has the better protection effect compared with MPMU. Adsorption of BPMU and MPMU on steel surface was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was shown that one BPMU molecule has two N atoms to coordinate with one Fe atom, and that one MPMU molecule has one N atom to coordinate with one Fe atom. The quantum chemical parameters were obtained by PM3 semi-empirical method. BPMU has the smaller HOMO-LUMO energy gap and the smaller net positive charge intensities of 4N and 8N atoms in its molecule.     

XPS characteristics of sulfur of bio-oxidized arsenic-bearing gold concentrate and changes of surface nature of bio-oxidation residue

During bio-oxidation of sulfides, the chemical state change of sulfur is a complex and key factor. It is not only an indicator of the extent and intensity of the bio-oxidation, but also controls the property of bio-leaching medium and the period of oxidation. The chemical state of sulfur in sulfides oxidized by leaching bacteria was studied with XPS. Sulfide minerals in the arsenic-bearing gold concentrate consist of pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and so on. In order to probe the pattern of the chemical state change of sulfur in the bio-oxidation residue of arsenic-bearing gold concentrate, the structure of the grains, and the surface nature of the residue, XPS test was carried out through different sputtering duration. The study of XPS clearly shows that: sulfides is progressively oxidized from the surface of minerals to the core by leaching bacteria; the chemical valence of sulfur changes from S^2- or [S2]^2- to [SO4]^2- ; sulfur in the core is in a reduction state, S^2- or [S2]^2- , but exists in an oxidation state S^6 on the surface; due to the chemical state change of sulfur, mineral phase of the bio-oxidation residue is also changed(sulfides inside, while sulfates outside); the layered structure is found in the grains of the bio-oxidation residue.

Discharge properties and chemical stability of SrZrO films

Abstract— MgO thin film is currently used as a surface protective layer for dielectric materials because MgO has a high resistance during ion sputtering and exhibits effective secondary electron emission. The secondary‐electron‐emission coefficient γ of MgO is high for Ne ions; however, it is low for Xe ions. The Xe content of the discharge gas of PDPs needs to be raised in order to increase the luminous efficiency. Thus, the development of high‐γ materials replacing MgO is required. The discharge properties and chemical surface stability of SrO containing Zr (SrZrO) as the candidate high‐γ protective layer for noble PDPs have been characterized. SrZrO films have superior chemical stability, especially the resistance to carbonation because of the existence of a few adsorption sites due to their amorphous structure. The firing voltage is 60 V lower than that of MgO films for a discharge gas of Ne/Xe = 85/15 at 60 kPa.     

Temperature dependent H2S and Cl2 sensing selectivity of Cr2O3 thin films

The conductometric gas sensing characteristics of Cr₂O₃ thin films - prepared by electron-beam deposition of Cr films on quartz substrate followed by oxygen annealing - have been investigated for a host of gases (CH₄, CO, NO₂, Cl₂, NH₃ and H₂S) as a function of operating temperature (between 30 and 300 °C) and gas concentration (1-30 ppm). We demonstrate that these films are highly selective to H₂S at an operating temperature of 100 °C, while at 220 °C the films become selective to Cl₂. This result has been explained on the basis of depletion of chemisorbed oxygen from the surface of films due to temperature and/or interaction with Cl₂/H₂S, which is supported experimentally by carrying out the work function measurements using Kelvin probe method. The temperature dependent selectivity of Cr₂O₃ thin films provides a flexibility to use same film for the sensing of Cl₂ as well as H₂S.     

The interpretation of X-ray photoelectron spectra of pyrolized S-containing carbonaceous materials

Theoretical models and ab initio Hartree-Fock wavefunctions have been used to investigate the S(2p) core level binding energies (BE), of pyrolized S-containing, carbonaceous materials. Comparison between experimental and calculated data for thiophene permits the accuracy of the present approach to be established. A systematic study of different situations demonstrates that, in these materials, non-oxidized S atoms can show peaks at very high BE relative to the C(1s) peak at 285.0 eV. This study confirms that the peak at 164.1 eV corresponds to ‘thiophenic’ S atoms. On the other hand, it shows that the peaks at higher BE could correspond to S atoms replacing C atoms in three-coordinated structures of graphene layers, in agreement with the arguments suggested in the experimental works. The energetic similarity between the two peaks at very high BE makes it difficult to differentiate between them, although the results of the present study seem to suggest that the peak at experimental BE ≈ 166 eV could correspond to S atoms coordinated to two C and one H atoms at the edge of graphene layers, while the peak at ≈ 169 eV would correspond to S atoms replacing C atoms in inner positions of the graphene layers, and it is bonded to three C atoms.

Low-temperature catalytic combustion of methane over Pd/CeO2 prepared by deposition–precipitation method

Ceria supported 2 wt% Pd catalysts for low-temperature methane combustion were prepared by the impregnation (IM) and deposition–precipitation (DP) methods, which are denoted as Pd–IM and Pd–DP, respectively. DP was found to be an available method for achieving high activity and stability of the Pd/CeO₂ catalyst. The temperatures for methane ignition (T_10%) and total conversion (T_100%) over Pd–DP are 224 and 300 °C at GHSV of 50,000 h⁻¹, which are 83 and 110 °C lower than the corresponding temperatures of Pd/Al₂O₃. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses show that palladium species in Pd–DP is highly dispersed, positively charged and difficultly reduced. Raman spectra disclosed that the largest concentration of defects and/or oxygen vacancies was formed in Pd–DP catalyst. A kind of cationic PdO^δ+ sites with higher binding energies than PdO are in close vicinity to the oxygen vacancies in the CeO₂ support and might act as the active centers for methane oxidation. Furthermore, the deactivation and steam aging tests for Pd–DP showed that the performance of this type of palladium was very stable and could be repeatedly recovered after several long time aging tests.
