Semi-coke （SC） and ZnO is selected as the support and active component of sorbent, respectively. The sorbent preparation process includes high-pressure impregnation, filtration, ovendry and calcination. The aim of this research is to primarily study the effects of the impregnation pressure on physical properties and desulfurization ability of the sorbent. The desulfurization experiment was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor at 500 ~C and a simulated coal gas used in this work was composed of CO （33 vol%）, H2 （39 vol%）, H2S （300 ppm in volume）, and N2 （balance）. Experimental results show that the pore structure of the SC support can be improved effectively and ZnO active component can be uniformly dispersed on the support, with the small particle size of 10-500 nm. Sorbents prepared using high-pressure impregnation have better desulfurization capacity and their active components have higher utilization rate. P20-ZnSC sorbent, obtained by high-pressure impregnation at 20 atm, has the best desulfurization ability with a sulfur capacity of 7.54 g S/100g sorbent and a breakthrough time of 44 h. Its desulfurization precision and efficiency of removing H2S from the middle temperature gases can reach 〈 1 ppm and 〉99.7%, respectively, before sorbent breakthrough.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） techniques were used to characterize their structure and surface composition. The results indicated that the size of gold particles could be controlled to below 10 nm by this method of preparation. Washing gold catalysts with water could markedly enhance the dispersion of metallic gold particles on the surface, but it could not completely remove the chloride ions left on the surface. The catalytic performance of direct vapor-phase epoxidation of propylene using air as an oxidant over these catalysts was evaluated at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity to propylene oxide （PO） was found to vary with reaction time on the stream. At the reaction conditions of atmosphere pressure, temperature 325 ℃, feed gas ratio V（C3H6）/V（O2）= 1/2, and GHSV =6000h^-1, 17.9% PO selectivity with 0.9% propylene conversion were obtained at initial 10 min for Au/SiO2 catalyst. After reacting 60 min only 8.9% PO selectivity were detected, but the propylene conversion rises to 1.4% and the main product is transferred to acrolein （72% selectivity）. Washing Au/TiO2-SiO2 and Aa/ZrO2-SiO2 samples with magnesium citrate solution could markedly enhance the activity and PO selectivity because smaller gold particles were obtained.展开更多

Gasification reaction has attracted a lot of interest by producing syngas rich in CO and H2. This syngas can be converted to clean liquid fuels, such as methanol and Fischer-Tropsch oil.

Examination of the morphology. elemental composition and distribution of metal on the catalysts support were carried out using scanning electron microscopy （SEMi and energy dispersion spectroscopy （EDS） and x-ray mapping. The catalytic performance of prepared catalysts was test at 700 and 900℃ temperature of reaction. 1.87% O2. The result showed that the synthesized nickel and cobalt catalysts via impregnation method using Al2O3 and TiO2 as the catalyst support were suitable for glycerol conversion.展开更多

In particular,it focuses on the development of sulphonated polyether ether ketone（SPEEK） based membranes and caesium salt of silico-tungstic acid（Cs Si WA） matrix compared with one of the transition metal oxides such as titanium dioxide（TiO2）, silicon dioxide（SiO2） and zirconium dioxide（ZrO2）. The resultant membranes have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ion exchange capacity（IEC）, water uptake and atomic force microscopy. Comparative studies on the performance of MEAs were also conducted utilizing impregnation-reduction and conventional brush coating methods. The PEM electrolysis performance of SPEEK-Cs Si WA-ZrO2 composite membrane was more superior than that of other membranes involved in this study. Electrochemical characterization shows that a maximum current density of 1.4 A/cm^2 was achieved at 60 °C, explained by an increased concentration of protonic sites available at the interface.展开更多

The Pd-NiJAl2O3 samples were confirmed to generate Pd-Ni bimetallic nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The catalytic activity was assessed in view of the effects of different mass ratios of Pd and Ni, temperature, pressure, etc. Among all the samples, the Pd-Ni （1：1 ）/Al2O3 （PN-1：1 ） catalyst showed extremely high catalytic ability. The conversion of cyclopentadiene and selectivity for cyclopentene can be simultaneously more than 90%.展开更多

The crystal structure, morphology, and surface chemistry states of the samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, respectively. The gas sensing performances were also investigated. For a hydrothermal temperature of 220 ℃, flower-like SnO2 nanoparticles consist of nanorods with diameters of 40 nm and lengths of 100 nm. The XPS and XRD results reveal that palladium exists in the Pd0 chemical state but the crystal is too small to be detected. The 0.3 wt% Pd modified SnO2 sensor shows better sensi- tivity, up to 21, for 70 μL/L ethanol gas at an optimal working temperature of 250 ℃. The quick response time （3 s） and fast recovery time （-20 s） are the main characteristics of this sensor.展开更多

文摘Metal-loaded zeolite catalysts were synthesized and examined in the hydroisomerization of n-decane.Specifically,zeolite Y was impregnated with 0.1 wt%Pd and varying amounts of Ni（0.1-0.5 wt%].The crystallinity of the metal-loaded catalysts was characterized by X-ray diffraction,and the average metal particle size was determined by transmission electron microscopy.The states of Pd and Ni were identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Ammonia temperature-programmed desorption analysis revealed the occurrence of ion-exchange of some of the catalyst acid sites with Ni-（2＋）.The reducibility of the HY zeolite-supported Pd,Ni,and Pd-Ni catalysts was studied by temperature-programmed reduction.The hydroisomerization of n-decane over the prepared catalyst was conducted at 200-450℃ under 1 atm.Ni addition of up to 0.3 wt%over 0.1 wt%Pd/HY enhanced the n-decane conversion and isomerization product selectivity.The improved selectivity of the mono- and dibranched isomers suggested the occurrence of a protonated cyclopropane intermediate mechanism.However,further Ni addition above 0.3 wt%considerably reduced the activity and isomerization selectivity.The bimetallic catalysts were more selective toward the formation of dibranched isomers,i.e.,those containing a higher octane number.
文摘The primary impregnation slurry was prepared using active alumina(56.25 mass%),kaolin(15 mass%),zirconia(3.75 mass%),deionized water(25 mass%),and extra adding FS(0.2 mass%)and CMC(0.4 mass%).The effects of the active alumina particle size(d50=5.043,2.934,and 1.629μm)on the rheology and the thixotropy of the slurry were researched.It was found that the bimodal activeα-Al2O3(AMA-10)with d50=1.629μm was optimum.The secondary impregnation slurry was prepared using AMA-10,kaolin and zirconia as the main raw materials.Then the alumina-based reticulated porous ceramics were fabricated by the organic foam impregnation method combined with a secondary vacuum impregnation process.The influence of the AMA-10 content on the properties of the ceramics was studied.The residual stress of the specimens was analyzed by finite element analysis.The results show that the smaller alumina particle size and multimodal distribution are beneficial to the thixotropy of the primary impregnation slurry.The secondary vacuum impregnation technique can significantly improve the mechanical properties,the thermal shock resistance and the residual strength of the alumina-based reticulated porous ceramics.With the decrease of alumina content in the secondary impregnation slurry,the residual stress of the external layer of ceramic reinforcement gradually changes from tensile stress to compressive stress,which effectively inhibits the expansion of the surface crack,and remarkably improves the crushing strength retention ratio of alumina reticulated porous ceramics.
文摘β-Si Al ON reticular porous ceramics(Si_(6-Z)Al_(Z)O_(Z)N_(8-Z),Z=2)were prepared withα-Al_(2)O_(3),AlN and Si as raw materials and Y_(2)O_(3)as the sintering aid by the foam impregnation method.The influence of the Y_(2)O_(3)addition(0,3%,6%and 9%,by mass)on the microstructure and the properties of the samples was studied.The results show that the Y_(2)O_(3)addition is conductive to the sintering of samples and the growth of grains.The sample added with 6%Y_(2)O_(3)has the optimal properties:the apparent porosity of 82.9%,the bulk density of 0.53 g·cm^(-3),the cold compressive strength of 1.97 MPa,and the residual cold compressive strength of 1.68 MPa after oxidation,which can be used as porous ceramic filters.
文摘Since the constant increase in petroleum price, use of glycerol waste, which is a byproduct from biodiesel production, as a partial replacement for fossil fuels via thermochemical conversion waste to energy processes is more practical. Gasification reaction has attracted a lot of interest by producing syngas rich in CO and H2. This syngas can be converted to clean liquid fuels, such as methanol and Fischer-Tropsch oil. Nickel and Cobalt catalyst was widely used in steam reforming reaction. ethanol etc. The aim of this work is to prepare and characterize 5.0 and 10.0%wt of Ni and Co catalysts using the impregnation method on various supporters, such as alumina and titanium oxide （TiO2） and to evaluate their catalytic performance. The specific surface area of developed catalysts was measured. X-ray diffraction （XRD） was applied to determine phase and crystallized size of the catalysts. Examination of the morphology. elemental composition and distribution of metal on the catalysts support were carried out using scanning electron microscopy （SEMi and energy dispersion spectroscopy （EDS） and x-ray mapping. The catalytic performance of prepared catalysts was test at 700 and 900℃ temperature of reaction. 1.87% O2. The result showed that the synthesized nickel and cobalt catalysts via impregnation method using Al2O3 and TiO2 as the catalyst support were suitable for glycerol conversion.

文摘In the early days of deciphering the injured neuronal tissues led to the realization that contrast is necessary to discern the parts of the recovering tissues from the damaged ones.Early attempts relied on available(and often naturally occurring)staining substances.Incidentally,the active ingredients of most of them were small molecules.With the advent of time,the knowledge of chemistry helped identify compounds and conditions for staining.The staining reagents were even found to enhance the visibility of the organelles.Silver impregnation identification of Golgi bodies was discovered in owl optic nerve.Staining reagents since the late 1800s were widely used across all disciplines and for nerve tissue and became a key contributor to advancement in nerve-related research.The use of these reagents provided insight into the organization of the neuronal tissues and helped distinguish nerve degeneration from regeneration.The neuronal staining reagents have played a fundamental role in the clinical research facilitating the identification of biological mechanisms underlying eye and neuropsychiatric diseases.We found a lack of systematic description of all staining reagents,whether they had been used historically or currently used.There is a lack of readily available information for optimal staining of different neuronal tissues for a given purpose.We present here a grouping of the reagents based on their target location:(I)the central nervous system(CNS),(II)the peripheral nervous system(PNS),or(III)both.The biochemical reactions of most of the staining reagents is based on acidic or basic pH and specific reaction partners such as organelle or biomolecules that exists within the given tissue type.We present here a summary of the chemical composition,optimal staining condition,use for given neuronal tissue and,where possible,historic usage.Several biomolecules such as lipids and metabolites lack specific antibodies.Despite being non-specific the reagents enhance contrast and provide corroboration about the microenvironment.In future,these reagents in combination with emerging techniques such as imaging mass spectrometry and kinetic histochemistry will validate or expand our understanding of localization of molecules within tissues or cells that are important for ophthalmology and vision science.
文摘The goal of this study was to develop and design a composite proton exchange membrane（PEM） and membrane electrode assembly（MEA） that are suitable for the PEM based water electrolysis system. In particular,it focuses on the development of sulphonated polyether ether ketone（SPEEK） based membranes and caesium salt of silico-tungstic acid（Cs Si WA） matrix compared with one of the transition metal oxides such as titanium dioxide（TiO2）, silicon dioxide（SiO2） and zirconium dioxide（ZrO2）. The resultant membranes have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ion exchange capacity（IEC）, water uptake and atomic force microscopy. Comparative studies on the performance of MEAs were also conducted utilizing impregnation-reduction and conventional brush coating methods. The PEM electrolysis performance of SPEEK-Cs Si WA-ZrO2 composite membrane was more superior than that of other membranes involved in this study. Electrochemical characterization shows that a maximum current density of 1.4 A/cm^2 was achieved at 60 °C, explained by an increased concentration of protonic sites available at the interface.

文摘In this work, Pd–Cu/γ-Al2O3 is prepared by the impregnation method and investigated for selective oxygenization of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone. A series of bimetallic Pd–Cu/γ-Al2O3 nanocatalysts were prepared and the structures characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM. We determined that the obtained Pd–Cu/γ-Al2O3（molar ratio Pd：Cu = 5：1） was an efficient catalyst for the oxygenization of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone with 95% selectivity and 85% conversion（100 °C, 1 MPa initial O2 pressure, 7 h）.

文摘Several γ-Al2O3 supported Pd-Ni bimetallic nanocatalysts （Pd-Ni （x：y）[Al2O3; where x and y represent the mass ratio of Pd and Ni, respectively） were prepared by the impregnation method and used for selective hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene. The Pd-NiJAl2O3 samples were confirmed to generate Pd-Ni bimetallic nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The catalytic activity was assessed in view of the effects of different mass ratios of Pd and Ni, temperature, pressure, etc. Among all the samples, the Pd-Ni （1：1 ）/Al2O3 （PN-1：1 ） catalyst showed extremely high catalytic ability. The conversion of cyclopentadiene and selectivity for cyclopentene can be simultaneously more than 90%.

文摘Flower-like SnO2 nanopowders prepared by a hydrothermal method were surface modified with palla- dium via impregnation. The crystal structure, morphology, and surface chemistry states of the samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, respectively. The gas sensing performances were also investigated. For a hydrothermal temperature of 220 ℃, flower-like SnO2 nanoparticles consist of nanorods with diameters of 40 nm and lengths of 100 nm. The XPS and XRD results reveal that palladium exists in the Pd0 chemical state but the crystal is too small to be detected. The 0.3 wt% Pd modified SnO2 sensor shows better sensi- tivity, up to 21, for 70 μL/L ethanol gas at an optimal working temperature of 250 ℃. The quick response time （3 s） and fast recovery time （-20 s） are the main characteristics of this sensor.
