Firstly,the webs were stabilized under different pre-oxidation conditions; secondly,the pre-oxidative fibers were chemically activated by high temperature treatment in nitrogen. Pre-oxidation temperature,heating rate,and treatment time are the main factors on affecting the adsorption performance of the ACFs. Scanning electron microscope ( SEM) , differential scanning calorimeter ( DSC ) ,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR ) were used to characterize the structure and property of the pre-oxidative fibers,and the dynamic benzene adsorption capacity of benzene of ACFs was measured. The results indicate that the moderate pre-oxidation condition is necessary to prepare the ACFs with better adsorption capacity,and the optimal oxidation conditions are to increase from room temperature to 230 ℃ with a heating rate of 0. 75 ℃·min - 1 ,held at the peak temperature for 30 min.展开更多

In this study, soil with a high As concentration(26084 mg/kg) was availably stabilized by a H2O2 pre-oxidation assisted TMT-15(Na3S3C3N3 solution with a mass fraction of 15%) and FeCl3·6 H2O stabilization method. The results showed that the combination of the two stabilizers(i.e., TMT-15 and FeCl3·6 H2O) presented a better stabilization behavior than either stabilizer used individually. The use of the H2O2 pre-oxidation assisted TMT-15 and FeCl3·6 H2O stabilization approach not only converted the As(Ⅲ) to As(Ⅴ) but also reduced the toxic leaching concentration of As to 1.61 mg/L, which is a safe level, when the additions of TMT-15 and FeCl3·6 H2O were 2 mL and 0.20 g, respectively. Thus, using only a simple H2O2 pre-oxidation to combine clean stabilization with non-toxic stabilizers TMT-15 and FeCl3·6 H2O could render the severely As-contaminated soil safe for disposal in a landfill.展开更多

The composite is pre-oxidized at temperatures of 900 ℃ and 1100 ℃ for 1 h and 3 h in air. A theoretical model considering surface heat transfer has been given and analyzed. A water-quenching technique is adopted at different temperatures from 300 ℃ to 600 ℃ in order to investigate the thermal shock behavior of pre-oxidized composites. The critical thermal shock temperature improves more than 40% after pre-oxidizing at 1100 ℃ for 3 h. However,the composites strength is not improved as a result of the insensitivity to surface defects.展开更多

However, pitch-derived soft carbon shows a high graphitization degree and small interlayer spacing, resulting in its much lower sodium storage performance than hard carbon. We propose a novel preoxidation strategy to introduce additional oxygen atoms into the low-cost soft carbon precursor pitch to fabricate a defect-rich and large-interlayer spacing hard carbon anode(HPP-1100). Compared with the direct pyrolysis of pitch carbon, the sodium storage capacity of HPP-1100 is significantly improved from 120.3 m Ah/g to 306.7 m Ah/g, with an excellent rate and cycling capability(116.5 m Ah/g at 10 C). Moreover, when assorted with an O_(3)-Na(NiFeMn)1/3O_(2)cathode, the full cell delivers a high reversible capacity of 274.0 m Ah/g at 0.1 C with superb cycle life. This work provides a new solution for realizing the application of low-cost pitch anodes in Na-ion batteries.展开更多

The traditional water treatment process can hardly achieve satisfactory removal of algae cells. This review examines the impact of pre-oxidation on the removal of cyanobacteria by solid-liquid separation processes. It was reported that the introduction of chemical oxidants such as chlorine, potassium permanganate, and ozone in algae-laden water pretreatment could improve algae removal by the subsequent solid-liquid separation processes. However, over dosed oxidants can result in more serious water quality risks due to significant algae cell lysis and undesirable intracellular organic matter release. It was suggested that moderate pre-oxidation may enhance the removal of cyanobacteria without damaging algae cells. In this article, effects of moderate pretreatment on the solid-liquid separation processes(sedimentation, dissolved air flotation, and membrane filtration) are reviewed.展开更多

The relationship between pre-oxidation and AOM-derived DBP formation needs to be approached more precisely. This study compared the impact of four pre-oxidants, ozone (O), chlorine dioxide (ClO), potassium permanganate(KMnO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), on the formation of nitrogenous (N-) and carbonaceous (C-) DBPs in AOM chlorination. The characterization (fluorescent properties,molecular weight distribution and amino acids concentration) on AOM samples showed that the characterization properties variations after pre-oxidation were highly dependent on the oxidizing ability of oxidants. The disinfection experiments showed that Oincreased DBP formation most significantly, which was consistent with the result of characterization properties variations. Then canonical correspondent analysis (CCA) and Pearson’s correlation analysis were conducted based on the characterization data and DBP formation. CCA indicated that C-DBPs formation was highly dependent on fluorescent data. The formation of haloacetic acids (HAAs) had a positive correlation with aromatic protein-like component while trichloromethane (TCM) had a positive correlation with fulvic acid-like component.Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that low molecular weight fractions were favorable to form N-DBPs. Therefore, characterization data could provide the advantages in the control of DBP formation, which further revealed that KMnOand ClOwere better options for removing algal cells as well as limiting DBP formation.展开更多

The complete pre-oxidation of FeMo alloys for the preparation of homogeneous fused discs was achieved by employing an automated fusion machine equipped with specially designed O2-blowing nozzles, which used lithium tetra-borate as flux with the addition of lithium nitrate (LiNO3) as oxidizer. The calibration curves of Mo and Fe were used in the quantitative analysis of standard materials and unknown plant samples with satisfactory accuracy and precision, utilizing the corrections of the matrix effects and line overlap. It was confirmed that the newly proposed method of preparing fused glass discs of FeMo alloys can replace the conventional wet chemical analyses requiring the labor intensive and time consuming procedure.展开更多

The experimental results indicate that all the alkali chlorides can speed up the reduction process of pre oxidized ilmenite, moreover, KCl is the most effective catalyst of the chlorides, while the catalytic effects of LiCl and CsCl are relatively weaker. It seems that the catalytic mechanism of LiCl is different from those of the other alkali chlorides. The cross sectional morphology of the partially reduced pre oxidized ilmenite particles and the distribution of potassium ions within them were examined by means of scanning electronic microscopy and electronic probe microanalysis, respectively, which shows that the reduction proceeds topochemically and the alkali ion enriches at the periphery of the particles.[展开更多

The results show thatyeactive gas N<sub>2</sub> increases the adhesion of TiCcoating to steel because of a graded interfaceexisting between coating and substrate. Theinteraction of discharge plasma with the surfaceof substrate was discussed. Pre-oxidation ofsubstrate is effective for improving the adhesiondue to the fomation of FeTi0<sub>3</sub> which appearedas an inteylayer between coating and pre-oxidizedsubstrate.展开更多

文摘Calcium–magnesium–alumina–silicate(CMAS)corrosion is a serious threat to thermal barrier coatings(TBCs).Ti_(2)AlC has been proven to be a potential protection layer material for TBCs to resist CMAS corrosion.In this study,the effects of the pellet surface roughness and temperature on the microstructure of the pre-oxidation layer and CMAS corrosion behavior of Ti_(2)AlC were investigated.The results revealed that pre-oxidation produced inner Al_(2)O_(3)layer and outer TiO_(2)clusters on the pellet surfaces.The content of TiO_(2)decreased with decreasing pellet surface roughness and increased along with the pre-oxidation temperature.The thickness of Al_(2)O_(3)layer is also positively related to the pre-oxidation temperature.The Ti_(2)AlC pellets pre-oxidized at 1050℃could effectively resist CMAS corrosion by promoting the crystallization of anorthite(CaAl_(2)Si_(2)O_(8))from the CMAS melt rapidly,and the resistance effectiveness increased with the pellet surface roughness.Additionally,the CMAS layer mainly spalled off at the interface of CaAl_(2)Si_(2)O_(8)/Al_(2)O_(3)layer after thermal cycling tests coupled with CMAS corrosion.The Al_(2)O_(3)layer grown on the rough interface could combine with the pellets tightly during thermal cycling tests,which was attributed to obstruction of the rough interface to crack propagation.

文摘Pre-oxidation has been reported to be an effective way to remove algal cells in water, but the released algal organic matter (AOM) could be oxidized and lead to the increment in disinfection by-product (DBP) formation. The relationship between pre-oxidation and AOM-derived DBP formation needs to be approached more precisely. This study compared the impact of four pre-oxidants, ozone (O), chlorine dioxide (ClO), potassium permanganate(KMnO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), on the formation of nitrogenous (N-) and carbonaceous (C-) DBPs in AOM chlorination. The characterization (fluorescent properties,molecular weight distribution and amino acids concentration) on AOM samples showed that the characterization properties variations after pre-oxidation were highly dependent on the oxidizing ability of oxidants. The disinfection experiments showed that Oincreased DBP formation most significantly, which was consistent with the result of characterization properties variations. Then canonical correspondent analysis (CCA) and Pearson’s correlation analysis were conducted based on the characterization data and DBP formation. CCA indicated that C-DBPs formation was highly dependent on fluorescent data. The formation of haloacetic acids (HAAs) had a positive correlation with aromatic protein-like component while trichloromethane (TCM) had a positive correlation with fulvic acid-like component.Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that low molecular weight fractions were favorable to form N-DBPs. Therefore, characterization data could provide the advantages in the control of DBP formation, which further revealed that KMnOand ClOwere better options for removing algal cells as well as limiting DBP formation.

文摘The effect of pre-oxidation degree of Panzhihua ilmenite concentrate on the gaseous reduction by carbon monoxide was investigated.The raw ilmenite concentrates were pre-oxidized at 600,700,800,900,and 1000°C for 2 h,respectively.The phase change,FeO content,and morphology after the oxidation at various temperatures were characterized.The oxidation degree was calculated according to the change of FeO content.Thermogravimetry was performed on the oxidized ilmenite concentrate samples(oxidized at 600,800,and 1000°C)at 850,900,and 950°C,respectively.The results show that the pre-oxidation of ilmenite concentrate can accelerate the reduction process:the higher pre-oxidation degree,the faster reduction rate.The high pre-oxidation degree of ilmenite concentrate is beneficial to accelerate the subsequent reduction process in two ways.Three stages of the reduction process were divided via the first derivatives of reduction degree,and the reduction mechanism and apparent activation energy were discussed subsequently.

文摘The hot corrosion behavior of Ti45 A18.5 Nb alloy was studied in the salt of Na_(2)SO_(4)and/or NaCl at 700℃.To improve the hot corrosion resistance,Ti45 A18.5 Nb alloy was anodized in fluorine-containing solution and pre-oxidized in air.Results showed that the combination of anodization and pre-oxidation can efficiently enhance the hot corrosion resistance of Ti45 A18.5 Nb alloy contaminated with Na_(2)SO_(4)or Na_(2)SO_(4)+NaCl deposits.This is because anodization and pre-oxidation result in the formation of compact AlOlayer which can act as a diffusion barrier to prevent sulfur,chlorine,and oxygen from attacking the alloy,therefore providing good resistance against hot corrosion.When exposed to NaCl deposit,however,no obvious improvement was achieved on the hot corrosion behavior no matter the alloy was anodized or further pre-oxidized in air.
文摘A quantitative analysis method of molybdenum in FeMo alloys by X-ray spectrometry using borate fusion technique was compared with that with pressed pellet. The complete pre-oxidation of FeMo alloys for the preparation of homogeneous fused discs was achieved by employing an automated fusion machine equipped with specially designed O2-blowing nozzles, which used lithium tetra-borate as flux with the addition of lithium nitrate (LiNO3) as oxidizer. The calibration curves of Mo and Fe were used in the quantitative analysis of standard materials and unknown plant samples with satisfactory accuracy and precision, utilizing the corrections of the matrix effects and line overlap. It was confirmed that the newly proposed method of preparing fused glass discs of FeMo alloys can replace the conventional wet chemical analyses requiring the labor intensive and time consuming procedure.

文摘A computer monitoring thermogravimetric system was used to study the effect of alkali chlorides(MCl, M=Li, Na, K and Cs) on the carbothermic reduction of pre oxidized ilmenite in the course of a linear rise in temperature from 600 ℃ to 1 000 ℃. The experimental results indicate that all the alkali chlorides can speed up the reduction process of pre oxidized ilmenite, moreover, KCl is the most effective catalyst of the chlorides, while the catalytic effects of LiCl and CsCl are relatively weaker. It seems that the catalytic mechanism of LiCl is different from those of the other alkali chlorides. The cross sectional morphology of the partially reduced pre oxidized ilmenite particles and the distribution of potassium ions within them were examined by means of scanning electronic microscopy and electronic probe microanalysis, respectively, which shows that the reduction proceeds topochemically and the alkali ion enriches at the periphery of the particles.[
文摘Introducing N<sub>2</sub> during sputtering andpre-oxidation of substrate were investigatedto improve the adhesion of sputtered TiC coatingto steel substrate. The results show thatyeactive gas N<sub>2</sub> increases the adhesion of TiCcoating to steel because of a graded interfaceexisting between coating and substrate. Theinteraction of discharge plasma with the surfaceof substrate was discussed. Pre-oxidation ofsubstrate is effective for improving the adhesiondue to the fomation of FeTi0<sub>3</sub> which appearedas an inteylayer between coating and pre-oxidizedsubstrate.

文摘Permanganate/sulfite(Mn(VII)/S(IV))process is a promising pre-oxidation technology for sequestering the emerging organic contaminants in drinking water treatment plant.Iopamidol(IPM),a representative of iodinated X-ray contrast media,has been widely detected in water sources and has the risk of forming iodinated disinfection byproducts(I-DBPs)in water treatment system.In this study,we investigated the evolution of iodine species during the IPM degradation by the Mn(VII)/S(IV)process and its effect on the subsequent formation of I-DBPs during chlorination at pH 7.0 and 8.0.IPM could be effectively degraded in the Mn(VII)/S(IV)process at environmentally relevant pH(pH 7.0 and 8.0).The results of quenching and competitive oxidation kinetic experiments revealed that SO^(·-)_(4)was the major reactive oxidizing species contributing to the degradation of IPM whereas the contributions of HO·and reactive manganese species were negligible in the Mn(VII)/S(IV)process.I–and IO–3were generated while no HOI was detected during the degradation of IPM in the Mn(VII)/S(IV)process.The effects of IPM oxidation by Mn(VII)/S(IV)on the subsequent formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products(Cl-DBPs)during chlorination were related to the category of Cl-DBPs.The pre-oxidation of IPM by Mn(VII)/S(IV)resulted in the generation of I-DBPs during the disinfection process although no I-DBPs were detected if no pre-oxidation was applied.The finding of this study suggested that attention should be paid to the toxicity of DBPs when water containing iodinated organic contaminants is treated by Mn(VII)/S(IV)process or other pre-oxidation technologies.

文摘Fabricating SiC ceramics via the digital light processing(DLP)technology is of great challenge due to strong light absorption and high refractive index of deep-colored SiC powders,which highly differ from those of resin,and thus significantly affect the curing performance of the photosensitive SiC slurry.In this paper,a thin silicon oxide(SiO_(2))layer was in-situ formed on the surface of SiC powders by pre-oxidation treatment.This method was proven to effectively improve the curing ability of SiC slurry.The SiC photosensitive slurry was fabricated with solid content of 55 vol%and viscosity of 7.77 Pa·s(shear rate of 30 s^(−1)).The curing thickness was 50μm with exposure time of only 5 s.Then,a well-designed sintering additive was added to completely convert low-strength SiO_(2) into mullite reinforcement during sintering.Complexshaped mullite-bond SiC ceramics were successfully fabricated.The flexural strength of SiC ceramics sintered at 1550℃in air reached 97.6 MPa with porosity of 39.2 vol%,as high as those prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)techniques.

文摘In this study,a stepwise oxidation system of potassium ferrate(K_(2)FeO_(4))combined with ozone(O+3)was used to degrade ciprofloxacin(CIP).The effects of pH and pre-oxidation time of K_(2)FeO_(4) on the evolution of K_(2)FeO_(4) reduction products(iron(hydr)oxides)and CIP degradation were investigated.It was found that in addition to its own oxidation capacity,K_(2)FeO_(4) can also influence the treatment effect of CIP by changing the catalyst content.The presence of iron(hydr)oxides effectively enhanced the mineralization rate of CIP by catalyzing ozonation.The pH value can influence the content and types of the components with catalytic ozonation effect in iron(hydr)oxides.The K_(2)FeO_(4) pre-oxidation stage can produce more iron(hydr)oxides with catalytic components for subsequent ozonation,but the evolution of iron(hydr)oxides components was influenced by O_(3) treatment.It can also avoid the waste of oxidation capacity owing to the oxidation of iron(hydr)oxides by O_(3) and free radicals.The intermediate degradation products were identified by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR-MS).Besides,the degradation pathways were proposed.Among the degradation products of CIP,the product with broken quinolone ring structure only appeared in the stepwise oxidation system.

文摘Ti_(2)AlC has been demonstrated as the promising protective layer material for thermal barrier coatings(TBCs)against calcium-magnesium-alumina-silicate(CMAS)attack.In this study,the reliability of Ti_(2)AlC coatings against the CMAS corrosion was explored,and new Ti_(2)AlC/YSZ TBCs more efficiently resistant to CMAS were designed.The fabricated Ti_(2)AlC coatings inevitably contain some impurity phases(TiC and Al2Ti3),the contents of which were minimized by optimizing the spraying distance.Corrosion tests revealed that Ti_(2)AlC/YSZ TBCs yielded higher resistance to the CMAS attack than YSZ TBCs,but with long-term exposure to CMAS,the Ti_(2)AlC protective coating exhibited microstructure degradation due to the presence of the impurity phases,which caused the formation of a layer mixed with Al_(2)O_(3)and TiO_(2)rather than a continuous compact Al_(2)O_(3)layer on the surface.Pre-oxidation schemes were designed in air or with a controlled oxygen partial pressure,which revealed that the pre-oxidation at an oxygen partial pressure of~630 Pa could promote a continuous Al_(2)O_(3)layer formed on the Ti_(2)AlC protective coating surface.Furthermore,a vacuum heat treatment at 867℃for 10 h before pre-oxidation was beneficial for the formation of the compact Al_(2)O_(3)layer.Through the above scheme design,new Ti_(2)AlC/YSZ TBCs were obtained,which had reduced impurity phase contents and a pre-oxide layer with an ideal structure on the surface.New TBCs exhibit higher microstructure stability exposed to CMAS and more efficient CMAS resistance.

文摘Recently,more and more attention has been paid to the strong oxidation ability of newly prepared potassium ferrate(NAPF) in sludge reduction process,but less attention has been paid to the change of phosphorus in this process.The feasibility of phosphorus migration and transformation during excess sludge reduction pretre atment using NAPF pre-oxidation combined with anaerobic digestion was investigated.After 70 mg/g suspended solids NAPF pretreatment and 16 days anaerobic digestion,the solid-phase volatile suspended solids decreased by 44.2%,and much organic matter had been released into the liquid-phase and then degraded during digestion by indigenous microorganisms.As the sludge pre-oxidation process was performed,solid-phase organic phosphorus and chemically combined phosphorus also released into the liquid-phase as PO4^3-,peaking at 100 mg/L.During anaerobic digestion,the Fe3+in the liquid-phase was gradually reduced to Fe2+,and then formed Fe^2+-PO4^3- compound crystals and re-migrated to the solid-phase.The concentration of PO4^3- decreased to 17.08± 1.1 mg/L in the liquid-phase after anaerobic digestion.Finally,the phosphorus in the Fe^2+-PO4^3- compound accounts for 80% of the total phosphorus in the solid-phase.A large number of vivianite crystals in sludge were observed.Therefore,this technology not only effectively reduces sludge,but also increases the proportion of PO43-in the sludge in the form of Vivianite.

文摘The effects of bisulfite-activated permanganate technology(PM/BS)as a pre-oxidation process on enhancing Microcystis aeruginosa(M.aeruginosa)removal by post coagulation were investigated.The results demonstrated that pretreatment with PM/BS process effectively promoted the algae removal by coagulation with Al2(SO4)3 as the coagulant and this phenomenon was more obvious with the increase of water hardness.Compared to the sole coagulation,PM/BS pre-oxidation combing with coagulation could neutralize the zeta potential of algal cells effectively,decrease the algal cell size,and lead to the formation of more compact flocs due to the in-situ generated Mn02.The effect of oxidant dosages on algal organic matter(AOM)was also studied and no obvious release of macromolecular substances was observed with the dosage of KMn04 increasing from 3.0 mg/L to 7.0 mg/L,suggesting the integrity of algal cells at a high KMn04 dosage.Moreover,PM/BS pre-oxidation could lead to the decrease of most analyzed disinfection by-products(DBPs)at a Al2(SO4)3 dosage of 40.0 mg/L.The algae removal efficiency was also significantly enhanced by PM/BS pre-oxidation in the test using real algae-laden water.This study indicated that PM/BS process might be a potential assistant technology for algae removal by subsequent coagulation.

文摘The influence mechanism of vanadic titanomagnetite solid-state reduction was studied in this paper.Optical microscopy(OM),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD)were used to characterize the structure and phases of the samples.The results show that the dense structure is not the reason that limits the reducibility of Panxi vanadic titanomagnetite.Metallization rate of 93%was achieved when it was reduced at 1100℃for 100 min.After pre-oxidation,Fe_(9)TiO_(15)and Fe_(2)O_(3)are the main phases of samples.Pre-oxidation could destroy the dense structure of vanadic titanomagnetite and increase the specific surface area of particles.However,reducibility of vanadic titanomagnetite is not improved obviously by pre-oxidation,with metallization rate increasing only 1%under the same reduction conditions,and the generated metallic iron grains are smaller.Phase transformation of vanadic titanomagnetite at different reduction temperatures shows that the presence of FeTi_(2)O_(5)is the main reason that limits the reducibility of Panxi vanadic titanomagnetite.
