The factors considered in the experimental design were sodium hydroxide （NaOH） concentration, sodium bypochlorite concentration （NaCIO）, citric acid concentration and cleaning duration, The interactions between the factors were investigated with the numerical model. Humic acid （20 mg· L-1） was used as the model foulant, and chemical enhanced backflush （CEB） was employed to sim- ulate the chemical cleaning process. The concentrations of sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, citric acid and cleaning duration tested during the experiments were in the range of 0.1%-0.3% 100-300 mg· L-1 1%-3% and 0.5-1.5 h, respectively. Among the variables, the sodium hypochlorite concentration and the cleaning dura- tion showed a positive relationship involving the increased efficiency of the chemical cleaning. The chemical cleaning efficiency was hardly improved with increasing concentrations of sodium hydroxide. However, the data was sharply decreased when at a low level of sodium hydroxide concentration. In total, 54 sets of cleaning schemes with 80% to 100K cleaning efficiency were observed with the R＆M model after calibration.展开更多

The bronze chloride disease was obtained treating commercial bronzes with HCI 37%, for 190 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and optical images taken on treated samples show the formation of a CuCIJCu2CI2 patina of about 300 m Laser ablation reduces in both medium the patina thickness at few microns without changing the chemical composition of bronze. X-ray analysis show the most effectiveness of ablation procedure in marine water where its only effect is the patina reduction without introducing changes in bronze chemical composition. Ablation in air, instead, reduces the patina but favors the adsorption of air oxygen and carbon on sample surfaces and a progressive ＂carbonization＂ of samples.展开更多

The experiments were conducted on a ＂Carosello＂, a structural hollow element made of clay, placed in arches, in domes or even in the walls of buildings such as churches and houses. Our results show that laser ablation techniques is able to remove the surface impurity patina from artifacts surface without changes the chemical composition and the optical properties of ceramic. Moreover, because the laser cleaning heats only locally the surface of the sample, this method don＇t preclude the possibility to apply on artifact the thermo-luminescence dating process.展开更多

The micro water dissolution principle utilized in the machining process is discussed, its planarization mechanism is illustrated, and an ultra-precision polished surface with 2.205 nm RMS roughness is obtained. However, a substantial quantity of residual contamination remained on the polished surface after machining. This can seriously impact the optical performance of the crystal, and so it must be removed. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy was used to conduct an investigation into the composition of the surface residue, and the results showed that the residue was comprised of organic chemicals with hydrocarbon chains and aromatic ether, i.e., mostly the polishing fluid. The cleaning method and the principle on which the KDP ultra precision surface investigation is based are discussed in detail, and the cleaning experiments with selected KDP-compatible organic solvents were then performed. FTIR transmittance spectra measurement and microscopic observations were employed to assess the effects of the cleaning process on the surface of the KDP crystal. The results showed that toluene cleaning achieved the most desirable results. This cleaning method produced a surface roughness of 1.826 nm RMS, which allows the KDP crystal to be applied to subsequent engineering applications.展开更多
