Oxidative leaching of chromium from layered double hydroxides: Mechanistic studies

The layered double hydroxide (LDH) of Zn with Cr on treatment with a hypochlorite solution releases chromate ions as a result of oxidative leaching by a dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism. The residue is found to be ε-Zn(OH)₂. The LDH of Mg with Cr on the other hand is resistant to oxidative leaching. In contrast, a X-ray amorphous gel of the coprecipitated hydroxides of Mg and Cr yields chromate ions. These results suggest that the oxidation potential of Cr(III) in LDHs is determined by the nature of the divalent ion and the crystallinity of the phase while being unaffected by the nature of the intercalated anions.     

冷却方式对Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷显微组织和力学性能的影响

采用真空烧结工艺制备微米级Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷。通过XRD、SEM等研究了液相烧结后,冷却方式对微米级Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷显微组织、力学性能的影响。试验结果表明,烧结后随炉冷却,烧结体可获得较均匀的显微组织,且环形相完整且厚度适中;冷却时,在液相阶段增加保温台阶,晶粒有所长大且有发生团聚现象发生,环形相变厚,导致材料的力学性能下降。微米级Ti(C,N)基金属陶瓷烧结后合适的冷却方式为无保温、随炉冷却。
