燃烧离子色谱法测定α-烯烃齐聚反应体系中催化剂BF3的含量

BF₃作为α-烯烃齐聚反应催化剂,其含量控制对催化反应的调控与产品质量的把控至关重要。通过建立样品前处理方法、优化仪器测试条件与标准溶液配制方法,建立利用燃烧离子色谱测定BF₃·醇催化的α-烯烃齐聚反应体系中F元素含量,进而计算出BF₃含量的方法,并考察了方法的重复性和准确性。结果表明：利用该方法可测定BF₃质量分数范围为2.68～53.50 g/kg的样品,前处理时适量的正丁醇和白油可有效稳定和稀释样品;测定稀释样品中F元素含量的标准曲线分为2段,线性范围分别为300～2000 mg/L和2000～3000 mg/L,线性相关系数R²分别为0.9992和0.9940;测定5次BF₃质量分数结果相对标准偏差均小于5%,方法加标回收率在95.0%～105.0%之间,方法检出限取决于前处理时的取样量,当取样量为5 g时,检出限为1 mg/kg。     

Pt-Sn工业重整催化剂失活过程金属分散性的原子尺度表征

重整催化剂活性铂原子的表面分散特性与催化剂的活性密切相关。借助球差校正扫描透射电子显微镜(Cs-STEM),针对金属Pt、Sn质量分数均为0.3%左右的低负载量的工业Pt-Sn/γ-Al₂O₃重整催化剂,采用STEM方法研究了不同工业状态下Pt原子在催化剂载体表面的分散特性。结果表明：新鲜催化剂中活性元素Pt以单原子或小原子簇形式分散,催化剂失活的过程是活性Pt原子不断聚集的过程;当Pt-Sn金属聚集体尺寸大到不能再生分散时,则催化剂活性无法恢复。本研究从工业剂角度给出了金属原子分散性与催化剂性能的构效关系。     

CO2 process intensification of algae oil extraction to biodiesel

Algae-to-biodiesel processes are hindered by high costs and low energy return on investment.^1,2. Herein, three foci in research improve algae-to-biodiesel processes by: (1) reducing high installation and energy costs in the CO₂ sequestration, cultivation, and harvesting stages; (2) improving oil extraction and biodiesel generation; and (3) increasing utilization of the proteins in lipid-extracted biomass (e.g., for animal feed), as well as the omega-3 fatty acids for nutraceuticals and food supplements. A process is introduced that uses carbon dioxide to aid in all three of these foci. CO₂ is used first in the form of microbubbles to lyse algae cell walls, releasing triglyceride oils. CO₂ also aids with transesterification of these triglycerides using methanol. At low temperatures (353.15–368.15 K) and intermediate pressures (5–10 MMPa), carbon dioxide causes methanol to dissolve partially in the triglyceride phase and triglyceride to dissolve partially in the methanol phase, increasing the transesterification reaction rate. Due to the nondestructive nature of these processes, other metabolites can also be harvested providing improvements in both mass and economic efficiency with an overall sharp reduction in the modeled price of biodiesel.     

Full color white light,temperature self-monitor,and thermochromatic effect of Cu+ and Tm3+ codoped germanate glasses

Lighting sources with full-color visible output are widely preferred in practical applications. In addition, modern lighting sources also tend to be intelligentized, and the intelligentization asks for smart luminescence materials. In this work, we attempt to develop novel full-color emitting material with temperature sensing and thermochromatic ability. To this end, the Cu²⁺ is successfully reduced to Cu⁺ which is incorporated into the germanate glasses. The glasses are prepared via a melt-quenching technique using graphite powders as reducing reagent. The supper-broadening of the excitation and the emission spectra of Cu⁺ in the germanate glasses are observed. Full-color emission is realized by introducing Tm³⁺ as co-dopant to provide the blue component in the spectra. The energy transfer behavior between Cu⁺ and Tm³⁺ is investigated, and it is found that these two luminescence centers are independently existent without energy transfer between them. The chromatic properties of the Cu⁺/Tm³⁺ co-doped glasses are tuned by Tm³⁺ concentration and excitation wavelength. The temperature sensing based on the fluorescence intensity ratio technique is demonstrated, and a constant sensitivity for the temperature detection is obtained. Moreover the thermochromatic property is also investigated, and it is found that the studied Cu⁺/Tm³⁺-doped glasses exhibit excellent thermochromatic performance.     

Optimized sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of Ca1+2xSnSi2x+yO3+6x+2y by composition modulation

Ca_1+2xSnSi_2x+yO_3+6x+2y (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9; 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.9) microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared through traditional solid-state reaction sintered at 1450°C–1500°C for 5 hours. The Ca₃SnSi₂O₉ second phase replaced the SnO₂ second phase of the Ca_1+2xSnSi_2xO_3+6x (x = 0, y = 0) ceramics by controlling the ratio of Ca:Sn:Si. The cracks of CaSnO₃ (x = 0, y = 0) ceramic were inhibited, the microwave dielectric properties were optimized by introducing the Ca₃SnSi₂O₉ second phase, and the CaSnO₃-Ca₃SnSi₂O₉ mixture system existed at (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9, y = 0). The CaSnSiO₅ phase with positive τ_f value was related to the Si-rich in CaSnSi_yO_3+2y (x = 0; 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.9), and the coexistence of three and four phases was obtained at CaSnSi_yO_3+2y (0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.9) ceramics. The CaSnSiO₅ phase appeared at CaSnSi_yO_3+2y (0.3 ≤ y ≤ 0.9) ceramics. The CaSnSi_yO_3+2y (y = 0.8) ceramic with 49.2 wt% CaSnSiO₅ phase exhibited excellent microwave dielectric properties: ε_r = 11.06, Q × f = 57,500 GHz (at 11.5 GHz), and τ_f = +8.1 ppm/°C.     

Mass transfer in 3D-printed electrolyzers: The importance of inlet effects

This article investigates the effect of inlet shape, entrance length, and turbulence promoters on mass transfer by using 3D-printed electrolyzers. Our results show that the inlet design can promote turbulence and lead to an earlier transition to turbulent flow. The Reynolds number at which the transition occurs can be predicted by the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the inlet to the cross-sectional area of the electrolyzer channel. A longer entrance length results in more laminar behavior and a later transition to turbulent flow. With an entrance length of 550 mm, the inlet design did no longer affect the mass transfer performance significantly. The addition of gyroid type turbulence promoters resulted in a factor of 2 to 4 increase in mass transfer depending on inlet design, entrance length, and the type of promoter. From one configuration to another, there was a minimal variation in pressure drop (<1600 Pa).     

Valence-induced effects on the electrical properties of NiMn2O4 ceramics with different Ni sources

Spinel-structured NiMn₂O₄ ceramics, with different valence Ni sources, were originally prepared using Ni₂O₃ and NiO as raw materials, and the effects of different valence Ni sources on their electrical properties were first investigated. XRD patterns show that both Ni₂O₃-based and NiO-based NiMn₂O₄ ceramics are single cubic spinel structures. SEM/EDS images indicate that the NiMn₂O₄ ceramics exhibited high density at the experiment-determined sintering temperatures. XPS results and Raman drifts prove that the Ni valence-induced changes in Mn ions at B sites played a significant role in the electrical properties and thermal stability of NiMn₂O₄ ceramics. Compared with NiO-based NiMn₂O₄, the resistivity at 25°C (ρ_25°C) of Ni₂O₃-based NiMn₂O₄ increased dramatically from 3109 to 106958 Ω cm, the thermal constant (B_25/50) increased from 3264 to 4473 K, and the resistance shifts after annealing for 1000 h at 150°C decreased from 0.80% to 0.74%. The investigation of the relationship between the material properties and valence of Ni sources has provided a new and effective way for designing the spinel-structured negative temperature coefficient (NTC) materials by modulating the valence of ions at A sites in the raw materials.     

Spin glass behavior and exchange bias effect in GaFeO3-type iron oxide

GaFeO₃-type iron oxide is a promising room-temperature multiferroic material due to its large magnetization and polarization. To expand the scope of its application, it is crucial to control the magnetic properties. Based on introducing the ferromagnetic (FM) Fe₃O₄ in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) GaFeO₃ to build the FM-AFM interface by changing the Ga/Fe ratio, Ga_0.69Fe_1.31O₃ (GFO) was successfully grown by the floating zone method. The resulting sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and its magnetic properties were measured using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The temperature-dependent AC susceptibility measurement shows that the spin glass-like behavior of GFO at temperatures close to 50 K is a manifestation of the geometrical frustration arising from cation site disorder. In addition, the magnetic property measurement shows that the magnetic transition temperature Tc is at 650 K, which is introduced by Fe₃O₄ and suppresses the ferromagnetic transition around 320 K of GFO. Interestingly, the observed exchange bias effect, which does not exist in the bulk GaFeO₃-type family, is attributed to the formation of an FM/AFM interface due to the existence of FM Fe₃O₄ in the GFO. This study provides a new perspective on the properties of the GaFeO₃-type family for potential applications in spintronic devices.
