Sulfur in chromia

The solubility of sulfur in chromia has been studied in H₂-H₂O-H₂S tagged with³⁵S at 973 and 1173 K at low oxygen and sulfur partial pressures typical for coal gasification-systems. For monocrystalline samples, it has been shown that sulfur-containing species are only present adsorbed on the surface of the specimens and can be removed by ultrasonic cleaning in acetone. The surface coverage after 4 weeks of exposure to H₂-H₂O-H₂S was between 2.8 and 19.3% of a monolayer. In polycrystalline chromia, sulfur was located only in pores and cracks of the sample. In dense, compact areas of the specimens the solubility of sulfur was below the detection limit of autoradiography, which was estimated to be better than 0.17 ppm.     

ADSORPTION MECHANISMS OF HS-IONS ON SULPHIDE MINERAL SURFACES RELATED TO Na_2S-INDUCED FLOTATION

The adsorption mechanisms of HS~- ions existing in air-saturated alkaline solutions on sulphide minerals (including pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and galena) were investigated. The measurement of adsorption density, solvent extraction-chemical analysis of neutral sulphur at the surfaces, measurements of pulp potential and voltammogram, and flotation tests were done. Both the electrochemical and non-electrochemi cal adsorption models of HS~- ions were established. The former was observed and resulted in the formation of neutral sulphur (S°)when the pyrite and arsenopyrite were chosen, and hence renders the surfaces hy drophobic and induced the two minerals flotation. It is called Na_2S-induced flotation. On the other hand, the latter took place and did not produce S° when the chalcopyrite and galena were selected, and hence de presses the collectorless flotation of the two minerals. The adsorptions of HS~- ions were mainly influenced by potentials, pH and the electron structures of the mineral surfaces.     

Experimental study of NiO electrical conductivity changes under low oxygen pressures

The electrical conductivity of NiO was measured at 740°C in an oxygen pressure range of 10^–2 –1.3 Torr. By means of continuous recording, longtime experiments were performed. The results show that for any admittance of oxygen, the electrical conductivity initially increased and then decreased to its initial value. For pressures higher than 0.1 Torr the decrease of the signal was reduced and the time required to attain the initial value sometimes reached several days. These results suggest that the electrical conductivity changes may be considered as a transitory phenomenon connected to attaining gassolid equilibrium.

Humidity Sensor Characteristics of Woodceramics

The humidity sensor characteristics of Woodceramics were investigated. The Woodceramics used in this experiment were prepared at 650–900°C. The size of specimens selected was 1 × 1 × 10 mm . One was used as-cut and the other was polished. Above 700°C, the resistance of the specimen was below 50 and the decrease of resistance with increasing relative humidity was small. The specimen prepared at 650°C had a resistance of about 1 k. The resistance of as-cut specimens decreased with increase in relative humidity, but that of the polished specimen did not change significantly. The difference between as-cut and polished samples was explained by the differences in surface micro-structure.

The dynamic adsorption of benzene vapor on the ACF activated by phosphoric acid

The dynamic adsorption behaviors of benzene vapor on phosphoric acid‐activated carbon fiber (ACF‐P) were investigated by gas chromatography. The experimental results showed that ACF‐P that was activated at >350^°C, like steam‐activated carbon fiber (ACF‐W), has good dynamic adsorption properties for benzene vapor. However, the saturation adsorption capacities of ACF‐P and ACF‐W are different. The dynamic adsorption conditions apparently do not affect the effluent concentration before the breakthrough point, but do change the operation loading and usage efficiency. The adsorbed ACF‐P can be regenerated, and good dynamic adsorbability can be recovered by heating treatment. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1841–1847, 2002     

Lead recovery from aqueous environment by using porous carbon of citrus fruits waste: equilibrium,kinetics and thermodynamic studies

ABSTRACT

The mixture of citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, mandarin, and lemon) wastes was utilized to obtain high surface area activated carbon (AC) by H₃PO₄ activation. The production conditions were optimized and the optimum conditions were determined. The optimal-activated carbon (CFWAC) was characterized by various physicochemical techniques. CFWAC was also used as a sorbent for Pb (II) ions from water. Batch experiments were performed to explore the adsorption capacity and mechanism. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model showed good fitness to the experimental data. The maximum Pb (II) adsorption capacity of CFWAC was found to be 163.93 mg/g.
