Spherical ultrafine cuprous oxide （Cu20） powder was prepared by glucose reduction of Cu（OH）2. The Cu20 particles were coated by Mg（OH）2 and reduced to metallic copper particles. At last, the copper particles were densified by high-temperature heat treatment. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, tap density, and thermogravimetry （TG）. It is found that the shape and size distribution of the copper powder are determined by the Cu20 powder and the copper particles do not agglomerate during high-temperature heat treatment because of the existence of Mg（OH）2 coating. After densification at high temperature, the particle tap density increases from 3.30 to 4.18 g/cm3 and the initial oxidation temperature rises from 125 to 150~C.展开更多

For PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite membranesprepared with dillerent AgBF4 concentration, the permeances of propylene and ethylene increase with the increase of AgBF4 concentration due to the carrier-facilitated transport, resulting in a high selectivity. But for propyl- ene/propane mixture, the mixed-gas selectivity is lower than its ideal selectivity. The hydrogen reduction strongly influences the membrane performance, which causes the decrease of propylene permeance and the increase of pro-pane permeance. With the increase of hydrogen reduction time, the membranes show a clearly color change from white to brown, yielding a great selectivity loss. The data of X-ray diffraction and FT-IR prove that silver ions are reduced to Ago after hydrogen reduction, and aggregated on the surface of PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite mem- branes.展开更多

The hydrogen level and water vapor content in the reducing atmosphere were found to influence the reduction rate wherein increasing hydrogen level as well as decreasing water vapor content resulted in faster oxide reduction. The reduction reaction substantially obeyed a parabolic rate law. Oxide scale of a usual thickness （approximately 7 micrometer） could be reduced almost completely in an atmosphere of 20 vol. % hydrogen with a water vapor content corresponding to a -40℃ dew point at 800℃. When lowering the hydrogen level to 10% and increasing the water vapor content to a 10℃ dew point,quite a large extent of the oxide scale was retained,which might be attributable to the formation of an outermost dense layer of pure iron at the early stage of reduction.展开更多

Their catalytic capacity for formaldehyde(HCHO) oxidation was evaluated. The results indicated that hydrogen reduction dramatically improves the catalytic performance of α-MnO_(2) in HCHO oxidation. The α-MnO_(2) sample reduced by hydrogen for 2 h possessed superior activity and could completely oxidize 150 ppm HCHO to CO_(2) and H_(2)O at 70℃. Multiple characterization results illustrated that hydrogen reduction contributed to the production of more oxygen vacancies. The oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface enhanced the adsorption, activation and mobility of O_(2) molecules, and thereby enhanced HCHO catalytic oxidation. This study provides novel insight into the design of outstanding MnO_x catalysts for HCHO oxidation at low temperature.展开更多

Influence of external diffusion, internal diffusion and heat transfer on the intrinsic reaction rate was investigated and the conditions free of internal and external diffusion resistance have been determined. In the experiments, in order to correctly evaluate the intrinsic kinetics parameters for reducing Fe203 to Fe3O4, the reaction temperatures were set between 440 ℃ and 490 ℃. However, in order to distinguish the reduction of Fe304 to FeO from that of FeO to Fe, the reaction temperature in the experiment was set to be greater than 570 ℃. Intrinsic kinetics of iron oxide reduction by hydrogen was established and the newly established kinetic models were validated by the experimental data.展开更多

It wasshown that the products of the Panzhihua ilmenite reduced at 900 °C were metallic iron and rutile. Above 1000 °C, ferrouspseudobrookite solid solution was generated. During the reduction process, element Mg gradually concentrated to form Mg-rich zonewhich can influence the metallization process. The reduction reaction proceeded topochemically and its related reduction kineticswere also discussed. The kinetics of the reduction indicated that the rate-controlling step was the diffusion process. The apparentactivation energy of the hydrogen reduction of Panzhihua ilmenite was calculated to be 117.56 kJ/mol, which was larger than that ofsynthetic ilmenite under the same reduction condition.展开更多

A brief thermodynamic study reveals the potential of direct reduction of CO2 with H2S（15：15 mol% balanced with N2） for selective production of CO and elemental sulfur. The experiments carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor over the temperature range of 400–800 °C give evidence of the importance of the employment of catalysts. Both the conversions of the reactants and the selectivities of the target products can be substantially promoted over most catalysts studied. Nevertheless, little difference appears among their catalytic performance. The results also prove that the presence of CO2 can remarkably enhance H2S conversion and the sulfur yield in comparison with H2S direct decomposition. A longtime reaction test on Mg O catalyst manifests its superior durability at high temperature（700 °C） and huge gas hourly space velocity（100,000 h-1）. Free radicals initiated by catalysts are supposed to dominate the reactions between CO2 and H2S.展开更多

文摘A series of α-MnO_(2) catalysts with various Mn valence states were treated by hydrogen reduction for different periods of time. Their catalytic capacity for formaldehyde(HCHO) oxidation was evaluated. The results indicated that hydrogen reduction dramatically improves the catalytic performance of α-MnO_(2) in HCHO oxidation. The α-MnO_(2) sample reduced by hydrogen for 2 h possessed superior activity and could completely oxidize 150 ppm HCHO to CO_(2) and H_(2)O at 70℃. Multiple characterization results illustrated that hydrogen reduction contributed to the production of more oxygen vacancies. The oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface enhanced the adsorption, activation and mobility of O_(2) molecules, and thereby enhanced HCHO catalytic oxidation. This study provides novel insight into the design of outstanding MnO_x catalysts for HCHO oxidation at low temperature.

文摘Kinetics parameters of iron oxide reduction by hydrogen were evaluated by the isothermal method in a differential micro-packed bed. Influence of external diffusion, internal diffusion and heat transfer on the intrinsic reaction rate was investigated and the conditions free of internal and external diffusion resistance have been determined. In the experiments, in order to correctly evaluate the intrinsic kinetics parameters for reducing Fe203 to Fe3O4, the reaction temperatures were set between 440 ℃ and 490 ℃. However, in order to distinguish the reduction of Fe304 to FeO from that of FeO to Fe, the reaction temperature in the experiment was set to be greater than 570 ℃. Intrinsic kinetics of iron oxide reduction by hydrogen was established and the newly established kinetic models were validated by the experimental data.

文摘The influence of different pre-oxidation temperatures and pre-oxidation degrees on the reduction and fluidization behaviors of magnetite-based iron ore was investigated in a hydrogen-induced fluidized bed.The raw magnetite-based iron ore was pre-oxidized at 800 and1000℃ for a certain time to reach a partly oxidation and deeply oxidation state.The structure and morphology of the reduced particles were analyzed via optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The reaction kinetic mechanism was determined based on the double-logarithm analysis.The results indicate that the materials with higher oxidation temperature and wider particle size range show better fluidization behaviors.The lower oxidation temperature is more beneficial for the reduction rate,especially in the later reduction stage.The pre-oxidation degree shows no obvious influence on the fluidization and reduction behaviors.Based on the kinetic analysis,the reduction progress can be divided into three stages.The reduction mechanism was discussed combing the surface morphology and phase structure.

文摘In recent years,medium entropy alloys have become a research hotspot due to their excellent physical and chemical performances.By controlling reasonable elemental composition and processing parameters,the medium entropy alloys can exhibit similar properties to high entropy alloys and have lower costs.In this paper,a FeCoNi medium entropy alloy precursor was prepared via sol-gel and coprecipitation methods,respectively,and FeCoNi medium entropy alloys were prepared by carbothermal and hydrogen reduction.The phases and magnetic properties of FeCoNi medium entropy alloy were investigated.Results showed that FeCoNi medium entropy alloy was produced by carbothermal and hydrogen reduction at 1500℃.Some carbon was detected in the FeCoNi medium entropy alloy prepared by carbothermal reduction.The alloy prepared by hydrogen reduction was uniform and showed a relatively high purity.Moreover,the hydrogen reduction product exhibited better saturation magnetization and lower coercivity.

文摘The hydrogen reduction of Panzhihua ilmenite concentrate in the temperature range of 900?1050 °C was systematicallyinvestigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. It wasshown that the products of the Panzhihua ilmenite reduced at 900 °C were metallic iron and rutile. Above 1000 °C, ferrouspseudobrookite solid solution was generated. During the reduction process, element Mg gradually concentrated to form Mg-rich zonewhich can influence the metallization process. The reduction reaction proceeded topochemically and its related reduction kineticswere also discussed. The kinetics of the reduction indicated that the rate-controlling step was the diffusion process. The apparentactivation energy of the hydrogen reduction of Panzhihua ilmenite was calculated to be 117.56 kJ/mol, which was larger than that ofsynthetic ilmenite under the same reduction condition.

文摘A simple method was proposed to produce tungsten(W)particles with controllable shape and size by employing the salt-assisted hydrogen reduction.W particles with controlled shape and size were prepared by adjusting the amount of chlorine salts and the temperature.After adding salt additives,the dispersibility of final particles was obviously improved and more adequate growth of particles was obtained.It was found that the effect of NaCl and LiCl is particularly significant.The average sizes of the obtained W particles at 1038 K after adding 0.1 wt.%NaCl and 0.1 wt.%LiCl were 0.924 and 1.128μm,respectively.With the increase of temperature and amount of chlorine salts,the dispersity of the produced W particles became much better,the size of W sub-particles was increased,and the shape of W sub-particles was changed from spherical to polyhedral.At 1349 K,the addition of chlorine salts even multiplied the particle size,and the average sizes of W particles with 1 wt.%NaCl and 1 wt.%LiCl were raised up to 21.367 and 29.665μm,respectively.Based on the conventional pseudomorphic transformation and chemical vapor transport mechanisms,the effects of adding salts on the reaction mechanism were investigated in detail as well.

文摘An approach to the simultaneous reclamation of carbon and sulfur resources from CO2 and H2S has been proposed and effectively implemented with the aid of catalysts. A brief thermodynamic study reveals the potential of direct reduction of CO2 with H2S（15：15 mol% balanced with N2） for selective production of CO and elemental sulfur. The experiments carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor over the temperature range of 400–800 °C give evidence of the importance of the employment of catalysts. Both the conversions of the reactants and the selectivities of the target products can be substantially promoted over most catalysts studied. Nevertheless, little difference appears among their catalytic performance. The results also prove that the presence of CO2 can remarkably enhance H2S conversion and the sulfur yield in comparison with H2S direct decomposition. A longtime reaction test on Mg O catalyst manifests its superior durability at high temperature（700 °C） and huge gas hourly space velocity（100,000 h-1）. Free radicals initiated by catalysts are supposed to dominate the reactions between CO2 and H2S.
