Fifty-four cases subjected to routine MHD complicated with skin pruritus admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into case group(n=28) and control group(n=26). The control group was given routine MHD alone. The case group was given lanthanum carbonate additionally on the basis of routine MHD. The changes of itching degrees at first and third month, and serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, intact parathyroid hormone(i PTH) levels and AAC scores at third month after treatments were compared between the two groups. The correlation between calcium-phosphorus products and AAC scores was also analyzed. There was no significant difference in the baseline of blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr), uric acid, albumin, hemoglobin, C reactive protein(CRP), low density lipoprotein(LDL), high density lipoprotein(HDL), triglyceride, total cholesterol between case group and control group(P>0.05 for all). There was also no significant difference in the baseline itching scores between the case group and the control group(P>0.05). At 1st and 3rd month after treatment, the itching scores in the case group were 14.2±3.2 and 10.5±2.3, respectively, which were significantly lower than the baseline and those in the control group(P<0.05 for all). At 1st and 3rd month after treatment, the itching scores in the control group were 23.6±5.9 and 24.8±6.3, respectively, which were significantly higher than the baseline(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the baseline of serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, i PTH levels between the case group and control group(P>0.05). At 3rd month after treatment, serum phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products and i PTH levels in the case group were decreased significantly as compared with the baseline(P<0.05), and the serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, and i PTH levels were statistically decreased as compared with those in the control group(P<0.05). The AAC scores showed statistically significant difference between the case group and the control group(P<0.05). The serum phosphorus and AAC scores showed a positive correlation in both two groups. It was suggested that the administration of lanthanum carbonate in the elderly MHD patients can effectively relieve itching, and simultaneously reduce serum phosphorus and i PTH levels, resulting in the attenuation of vascular calcification.展开更多

METHODS Fifteen stable hemodialysis patients were switched from LanC to SFOH. Only nine continued on SFOH, three returned to LanC and the other three switched to sevelamer carbonate. The later six patients served as a control group to the SFOH group of nine patients. Blood was sampled on the 3-d and the last 2-d interval of the week prior to switching and six weeks after. Bicarbonate levels(HCO_3^-), pH, pO_2, pCO_2 were measured, and the mean of the two measurements(3-d and 2-d interval) was calculated. RESULTS Comparing pre-switching to post-switching measurementsin the SFOH group, no statistically significant differences were found in any of the parameters studied. The mean pre-switching HCO_3^-was 22.41 ± 1.66 mmol/L and the mean post-switching was 22.62 ± 2.25 mmol/L(P = 0.889). Respectively, the mean pH= 7.38 ± 0.03 vs 7.39 ± 0.03(P = 0.635), mean pCO_2= 38.41 ± 3.29 vs 38.37 ± 3.62 mmHg(P = 0.767), and Phosphate = 1.57 ± 0.27 vs 1.36 ± 0.38 mmol/L(P = 0.214). There were not any significant differences when we performed the same analyses in the control group or between the SFOH group and control group. No correlations were found, either between pre-switching LanC daily dose or between postswitching daily dose of the new binder and the measured parameters.CONCLUSION In our small study, switching from LanC to SFOH did not have any significant effect on blood bicarbonate levels and gas analysis, indicating that there is no need to change hemodialysis prescription regarding these parameters.展开更多

It was found that the mechanochemical reaction process can be divided into two steps: the first step is the multi phases mechanochemical reaction of lanthanum carbonate with NaOH to form amorphous lanthanum basic carbonate and lanthanum hydroxide, and the second step is the crystallization of basic lanthanum carbonate with the formula of La 2(OH) 2(CO 3) 2·H 2O under a quasi hydrothermal synthesis condition caused by the mechanical ball milling. The synthesized La 2O 3 powder appears clearly separated spherical like monodisperse nano size particles in which particle size ranges from 30 to 50 nm.展开更多

Male 8-week-old Wistar rats were fed a basal case-in-based semi-purified diet or the basal diet supplemented with 0.45% or 0.90% lanthanum as lanthanum carbonate for 4 weeks. Lanthanum administration did not influence body or several organ weights and liver function. In rats administered lanthanum, a very small quantity of lanthanum was detected in several organs although the apparent absorption was almost zero. The highest lanthanum concentration was observed in the liver followed by the femur and kidney. Lanthanum was not clearly detected in the brain. Differences in organ lanthanum between 0.45% and 0.90% administration groups were not significant;lanthanum accumulation in the body is very low and may reach a plateau in a certain range of intake. Serum phosphorus was decreased and fecal phosphorus was increased by lanthanum administration dose-dependently. Urinary phosphorus excretion was significantly decreased by lanthanum. Since urinary phosphorus of rats fed 0.45% lanthanum diet decreased to near zero, the highest phosphorus balance was observed in rats fed 0.45% lanthanum diet. This high balance is considered to be adaptation to the low phosphorus status induced by lanthanum carbonate. These results indicate that lanthanum carbonate can induce hypophosphatemia without any direct side effects and be used to examine the effect of removing phosphorus from the diet in animal nutritional studies.展开更多

The chemical and physical properties were investigated by varying the monomer ratio between GDA and 1-VIM. Among them, poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for CO_(2)cycloaddition, with the yield of chloropropene carbonate 90% under mild conditions(80℃, 0.1 MPa, 12 h, 0.15 g catalyst for 32 mmol epichlorohydrin) in the absence of any cocatalyst, metal or solvent. A range of substrates with good to excellent yields under atmosphere was obtained. The poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) catalyst is collectable and still remains acceptable catalytic activity after six runs. Finally, a preliminary kinetic is calculated on the basis of poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) with the activation energy value of 79.5 kJ·mol^(-1). This study highlights that the poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) enable to reach efficient CO_(2) conversion under mild conditions.展开更多

The results of geochemical and petrological analyses show that calcite grains have a negative Ce anomaly indicating they formed in the oxidizing environment of seawater. The high carbonate mineral contents in the margin of basin indicate that calcite grains and cores of dolomite grains appear largely to be of detrital origin. The rhombic rims of dolomite grains and dolomite concretions with the δ^(13)C of –15.46‰ and the enrichment of middle rare earth elements were formed during the sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane. The calcite in radiolarian were related to the microbial sulfate reduction for the abundant anhedral pyrites and δ^(13)C value of –11.34‰. Calcite veins precipitated in the deep burial stage with homogenization temperature of the inclusions ranging from 146.70 ℃ to 182.90 ℃. The pores in shale are mainly organic matter pores with pore size mainly in the range of 1–20 nm in diameter. Carbonate minerals influence the development of pores through offering storage space for organic matter. When calcite contents ranging from 10% to 20%, calcite grains and cement as rigid framework can preserve primary pores. Subsequently, the thermal cracking of liquid petroleum in primary pores will form organic matter pores. The radiolarian were mostly partially filled with calcite, which combining with microcrystalline quartz preserved a high storage capacity.展开更多

文摘The effect of lanthanum carbonate on abdominal aortic calcification(AAC) in the elderly maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients was investigated. Fifty-four cases subjected to routine MHD complicated with skin pruritus admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into case group(n=28) and control group(n=26). The control group was given routine MHD alone. The case group was given lanthanum carbonate additionally on the basis of routine MHD. The changes of itching degrees at first and third month, and serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, intact parathyroid hormone(i PTH) levels and AAC scores at third month after treatments were compared between the two groups. The correlation between calcium-phosphorus products and AAC scores was also analyzed. There was no significant difference in the baseline of blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr), uric acid, albumin, hemoglobin, C reactive protein(CRP), low density lipoprotein(LDL), high density lipoprotein(HDL), triglyceride, total cholesterol between case group and control group(P>0.05 for all). There was also no significant difference in the baseline itching scores between the case group and the control group(P>0.05). At 1st and 3rd month after treatment, the itching scores in the case group were 14.2±3.2 and 10.5±2.3, respectively, which were significantly lower than the baseline and those in the control group(P<0.05 for all). At 1st and 3rd month after treatment, the itching scores in the control group were 23.6±5.9 and 24.8±6.3, respectively, which were significantly higher than the baseline(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the baseline of serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, i PTH levels between the case group and control group(P>0.05). At 3rd month after treatment, serum phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products and i PTH levels in the case group were decreased significantly as compared with the baseline(P<0.05), and the serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus products, and i PTH levels were statistically decreased as compared with those in the control group(P<0.05). The AAC scores showed statistically significant difference between the case group and the control group(P<0.05). The serum phosphorus and AAC scores showed a positive correlation in both two groups. It was suggested that the administration of lanthanum carbonate in the elderly MHD patients can effectively relieve itching, and simultaneously reduce serum phosphorus and i PTH levels, resulting in the attenuation of vascular calcification.
文摘AIM To examine possible alterations in acid-base parameters in patients switching from lanthanum carbonate(LanC) to sucroferric oxyhydroxide(SFOH). METHODS Fifteen stable hemodialysis patients were switched from LanC to SFOH. Only nine continued on SFOH, three returned to LanC and the other three switched to sevelamer carbonate. The later six patients served as a control group to the SFOH group of nine patients. Blood was sampled on the 3-d and the last 2-d interval of the week prior to switching and six weeks after. Bicarbonate levels(HCO_3^-), pH, pO_2, pCO_2 were measured, and the mean of the two measurements(3-d and 2-d interval) was calculated. RESULTS Comparing pre-switching to post-switching measurementsin the SFOH group, no statistically significant differences were found in any of the parameters studied. The mean pre-switching HCO_3^-was 22.41 ± 1.66 mmol/L and the mean post-switching was 22.62 ± 2.25 mmol/L(P = 0.889). Respectively, the mean pH= 7.38 ± 0.03 vs 7.39 ± 0.03(P = 0.635), mean pCO_2= 38.41 ± 3.29 vs 38.37 ± 3.62 mmHg(P = 0.767), and Phosphate = 1.57 ± 0.27 vs 1.36 ± 0.38 mmol/L(P = 0.214). There were not any significant differences when we performed the same analyses in the control group or between the SFOH group and control group. No correlations were found, either between pre-switching LanC daily dose or between postswitching daily dose of the new binder and the measured parameters.CONCLUSION In our small study, switching from LanC to SFOH did not have any significant effect on blood bicarbonate levels and gas analysis, indicating that there is no need to change hemodialysis prescription regarding these parameters.

It was found that the mechanochemical reaction process can be divided into two steps: the first step is the multi phases mechanochemical reaction of lanthanum carbonate with NaOH to form amorphous lanthanum basic carbonate and lanthanum hydroxide, and the second step is the crystallization of basic lanthanum carbonate with the formula of La 2(OH) 2(CO 3) 2·H 2O under a quasi hydrothermal synthesis condition caused by the mechanical ball milling. The synthesized La 2O 3 powder appears clearly separated spherical like monodisperse nano size particles in which particle size ranges from 30 to 50 nm.
文摘To examine whether lanthanum carbonate can induce a low phosphorus status in experimental animals, we examined phosphorus balance in rats administered lanthanum carbonate. Male 8-week-old Wistar rats were fed a basal case-in-based semi-purified diet or the basal diet supplemented with 0.45% or 0.90% lanthanum as lanthanum carbonate for 4 weeks. Lanthanum administration did not influence body or several organ weights and liver function. In rats administered lanthanum, a very small quantity of lanthanum was detected in several organs although the apparent absorption was almost zero. The highest lanthanum concentration was observed in the liver followed by the femur and kidney. Lanthanum was not clearly detected in the brain. Differences in organ lanthanum between 0.45% and 0.90% administration groups were not significant;lanthanum accumulation in the body is very low and may reach a plateau in a certain range of intake. Serum phosphorus was decreased and fecal phosphorus was increased by lanthanum administration dose-dependently. Urinary phosphorus excretion was significantly decreased by lanthanum. Since urinary phosphorus of rats fed 0.45% lanthanum diet decreased to near zero, the highest phosphorus balance was observed in rats fed 0.45% lanthanum diet. This high balance is considered to be adaptation to the low phosphorus status induced by lanthanum carbonate. These results indicate that lanthanum carbonate can induce hypophosphatemia without any direct side effects and be used to examine the effect of removing phosphorus from the diet in animal nutritional studies.

文摘The strength development law of γ-type dicalcium silicate (γ-C_(2)S) under different carbonation processes was investigated,and the carbonation mechanism of γ-C_(2)S under the action of NH_(4)HCO_(3) was clarified by using a wide range of test methods,including XRD and SEM.A method of saturated NH_(4)HCO_(3) solution as a curing agent was identified to improve the carbonation efficiency and enhance the carbonation degree of γ-C_(2)S,and then a high-strength carbonated specimen was obtained.Microhardness analysis and SEM morphology analysis were conducted on the carbonised specimens obtained under atmospheric pressure carbonisation conditions using the curing agent.It was found that γ-C_(2)S could perform carbonisation well under atmospheric pressure,which promoted the carbonisation efficiency and decreased the carbonisation cost simultaneously.Therefore,a new carbonisation process solution was proposed for the rapid carbonisation of γ-C_(2)S.

文摘To gain insight into the flow mechanisms and stress sensitivity for fractured-vuggy reservoirs,several core models with different structural characteristics were designed and fabricated to investigate the impact of effective stress on permeability for carbonate fractured-vuggy rocks(CFVR).It shows that the permeability performance curves under different pore and confining pressures(i.e.altered stress conditions)for the fractured core models and the vuggy core models have similar change patterns.The ranges of permeability variation are significantly wider at high pore pressures,indicating that permeability reduction is the most significant during the early stage of development for fractured-vuggy reservoirs.Since each obtained effective stress coefficient for permeability(ESCP)varies with the changes in confining pressure and pore pressure,the effective stresses for permeability of four representative CFVR show obvious nonlinear characteristics,and the variation ranges of ESCP are all between 0 and 1.Meanwhile,a comprehensive ESCP mathematical model considering triple media,including matrix pores,fractures,and dissolved vugs,was proposed.It is proved theoretically that the ESCP of CFVR generally varies between 0 and 1.Additionally,the regression results showed that the power model ranked highest among the four empirical models mainly applied in stress sensitivity characterization,followed by the logarithmic model,exponential model,and binomial model.The concept of“permeability decline rate”was introduced to better evaluate the stress sensitivity performance for CFVR,in which the one-fracture rock is the strongest,followed by the fracture-vug rock and two-horizontalfracture rock;the through-hole rock is the weakest.In general,this study provides a theoretical basis to guide the design of development and adjustment programs for carbonate fractured-vuggy reservoirs.

文摘Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation(EICP)is an emanating,eco-friendly and potentially sound technique that has presented promise in various geotechnical applications.However,the durability and microscopic characteristics of EICP-treated specimens against the impact of drying-wetting(D-W)cycles is under-explored yet.This study investigates the evolution of mechanical behavior and pore charac-teristics of EICP-treated sea sand subjected to D-W cycles.The uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)tests,synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography(micro-CT),and three-dimensional(3D)recon-struction of CT images were performed to study the multiscale evolution characteristics of EICP-reinforced sea sand under the effect of D-W cycles.The potential correlations between microstructure characteristics and macro-mechanical property deterioration were investigated using gray relational analysis(GRA).Results showed that the UCS of EICP-treated specimens decreases by 63.7% after 15 D-W cycles.The proportion of mesopores gradually decreases whereas the proportion of macropores in-creases due to the exfoliated calcium carbonate with increasing number of D-W cycles.The micro-structure in EICP-reinforced sea sand was gradually disintegrated,resulting in increasing pore size and development of pore shape from ellipsoidal to columnar and branched.The gray relational degree suggested that the weight loss rate and UCS deterioration were attributed to the development of branched pores with a size of 100-1000 m m under the action of D-W cycles.Overall,the results in this study provide a useful guidancee for the long-term stability and evolution characteristics of EICP-reinforced sea sand under D-W weathering conditions.

文摘Platinum catalyst for CO oxidation has been studied for decades,due to its high activity and good stability.In this work,we prepared three different lantha num oxide or hydroxide supports(LaO_(x)(OH)_(y)),and deposited platinum(Pt) with 0.5 at% via an impregnation approach to synthesize Pt/LaO_(x)(OH)_(y) catalysts.However,we find that these catalysts perform a poor stability for the CO oxidation reaction.The fresh and used samples were comprehensively characterized by multiple techniques including power X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),temperature-programmed reduction by carbon monoxide(CO-TPR) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),to demonstrate that the oxidized platinum atoms or clusters,without any component of Pt-Pt metallic bond,are highly dispersed on the surface of LaO_(x)(OH)_(y).Furthermore,the as-formed lanthanum carbonate(La_(2)O_(2)CO_(3)) during the exposure to ambient circumstances or in the reaction atmosphere of CO+O_(2),severely impair the reactivity of Pt/LaO_(x)(OH)_(y).On the basis of the obtained experimental results,we have drawn a conclusion that the oxidized P_(t)O_(x) atoms or PtxOy clusters are the active species for CO oxidation,while the formation of lanthanum carbonate is the origin of deactivation on reactivity.

文摘Carbon neutrality is widely concerned and highly valued by many countries.Biosphere has always maintained the balance between oxidized organic substances and assimilated organic matter,resulting in netzero carbon dioxide(CO_(2)) emissions and maintaining its own carbon neutrality.Nature has set a good example for human beings to coordinate oxygen(O_(2)) balance and CO_(2)balance,and achieve carbon neutrality.How does photosynthetic oxygen evolution initiate carbon and water neutrality?My synthesis shows that photo system Ⅱ functions as carbonic anhydrase to catalyze the reaction of CO_(2)hydration under physiological conditions,and CO_(2)hydration coupled with chemical equilibrium,H^(+)+HCO_(3)^(-)→1/2O_(2)+2e^(-)+2H^(+)+CO_(2),occurs in a photosystem Ⅱ corecomplex.Meanwhile,I focused on the revisiting of four classical heavy oxygen(O^(18)) labeling experiments and found that bicarbonate can promote photo synthetic oxygen evolution,and that photo synthetic oxygen evolution can alternately come from bicarbonate and water,not only water.Bicarbonate photolysis and water photolysis account for half of the photo synthetic oxygen evolution respectively,which can well explain the bicarbonate effect,Dole effect and plants’ environmental adaptability.Photosynthetic oxygen evolution initiated the journey of water metabolism and carbon metabolism in nature,which led to the coupling as 1:1(mol/mol) stoichiometric relationship between the reduction of CO_(2)and oxidation of organic carbon,coordinated the evolution of the atmosphere,hydrosphere,lithosphere and biosphere,and realized "carbon neutrality" in the whole Earth system.

文摘A novel series of halogen free, hydroxyl group containing poly(ionic liquid)s(PILs) was first synthesized from glycerol dimethyl acrylate(GDA) and 1-vinyl imidazole(1-VIM) through free radical polymerization, follow by an alkylation step and an ion-exchange procedure to form the final imidazolium hydrogen carbonate heterogenous catalyst poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n). The chemical and physical properties were investigated by varying the monomer ratio between GDA and 1-VIM. Among them, poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for CO_(2)cycloaddition, with the yield of chloropropene carbonate 90% under mild conditions(80℃, 0.1 MPa, 12 h, 0.15 g catalyst for 32 mmol epichlorohydrin) in the absence of any cocatalyst, metal or solvent. A range of substrates with good to excellent yields under atmosphere was obtained. The poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) catalyst is collectable and still remains acceptable catalytic activity after six runs. Finally, a preliminary kinetic is calculated on the basis of poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) with the activation energy value of 79.5 kJ·mol^(-1). This study highlights that the poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) enable to reach efficient CO_(2) conversion under mild conditions.

文摘A suitable bearing capacity of foundation is critical for the safety of civil structures.Sometimes foundation reinforcement is necessary and an effective and environmentally friendly method would be the preferred choice.In this study,the potential application of enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation(EICP)was investigated for reinforcing a 0.6 m bedding layer on top of clay to improve the bearing capacity of the foundation underneath an underground cable duct.Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the optimal operational parameters for the extraction of crude urease liquid and optimal grain size range of sea sands to be used to construct the bedding layer.Field tests were planned based on orthogonal experimental design to study the factors that would significantly affect the biocementation effect on site.The dynamic deformation modulus,calcium carbonate content and longterm ground stress variations were used to evaluate the bio-cementation effect and the long-term performance of the EICP-treated bedding layer.The laboratory test results showed that the optimal duration for the extraction of crude urease liquid is 1 h and the optimal usage of soybean husk powder in urease extraction solution is 100 g/L.The calcium carbonate production rate decreases significantly when the concentration of cementation solution exceeds 0.5 mol/L.The results of site trial showed that the number of EICP treatments has the most significant impact on the effectiveness of EICP treatment and the highest dynamic deformation modulus(Evd)of EICP-treated bedding layer reached 50.55 MPa.The area with better bio-cementation effect was found to take higher ground stress which validates that the EICP treatment could improve the bearing capacity of foundation by reinforcing the bedding layer.The field trial described and the analysis introduced in this paper can provide a practical basis for applying EICP technology to the reinforcement of bedding layer in poor ground conditions.
文摘Carbonate cements are the most abundant authigenic mineral and impact on physical properties greatly in sandstone reservoir.In this paper,Pinghu Formation of Xihu Sag was taken as a target.Characteristics,distribution and formation of carbonate cements were investigated via optical microscopy,cathodoluminescence(CL),electron probe and in-situ carbon-oxygen isotope.The results showed that carbonate cements varied in types and shapes.Calcite/dolomite mainly present as poikilotopic cements,while ferrocalcite/ferrodolomite/ankerite generally present as pore-filling cements.Carbon isotope(δ^(13)C)values of carbonate cements were ranging from–7.77‰to–2.67‰,with an average of–4.52‰,while oxygen isotope(δ^(18)O)values were ranging from–18.94‰to–12.04‰,with an average of–14.86‰.Theδ^(13)C/δ^(18)O indicated that the paleo-fluid of carbonate cement was mainly freshwater.Organic carbon mainly came from organic matter within mature source rocks,and inorganic carbon came from dissolution of carbonate debris and early carbonate cements.Distinctiveδ^(13)C/δ^(18)O values manifest that carbonate cements with different types formed in different periods,which make different contributions to the reservoir properties.Calcite/dolomite formed during eodiagenesis(70–90℃)and early mesodiagenesis stage(90–120℃),and were favorable to reservoir owing to their compacted resistance and selective dissolution.Ferrocalcite/ferrodolomite/ankerite formed during middle-late mesodiagenetic stage(above 120℃),and were unfavorable to reservoir due to cementing the residual intergranular pores.Hence,in order to evaluate the reservoir characteristics,it is of significantly important to distinguish different types of carbonate cements and explore their origins.

文摘Diphenyl carbonate(DPC)is one of the versatile carbonates,and is often used for the production of polycarbonates.In recent years,the catalytic synthesis of DPC has become an important topic but the development of a highly active metal-free catalyst is a great challenge.Herein,a series of ionic liquids-SBA-15 hybrid catalysts with different functional groups have been developed for the synthesis of DPC under solventfree condition,which are effective and clean instead of the metal-containing catalysts.It is found that in the presence of[SBA-15-IL-OH]Br catalyst,methyl phenyl carbonate(MPC)conversion of 80.5%along with 99.6%DPC selectivity is achieved,the TOF value is thrice higher than the best value reported by using transition metal-based catalysts.Moreover,the catalyst displays remarkable stability and recyclability.This work provides a new idea to design and prepare eco-friendly catalysts in a broad range of applications for the green synthesis of carbonates.

文摘Micro-interface intensified reactor(MIR)can be applied in series/parallel in the absorption of CO_(2)in industrial gases by Na_(2)CO_(3)due to the ability to produce large numbers of stable microbubbles.This work focuses on the variation pattern of mass transfer characteristics parameters of the reaction gas in Na_(2)CO_(3) solution under the influence of different solution properties and operating parameters in the reaction of CO_(2)absorption by Na2CO3.The mass transfer characteristics parameters include bubble Sauter mean diameter,gas holdup,interfacial area,liquid side mass transfer coefficient,and liquid side volume mass transfer coefficient kLa.The solution properties and operating parameters include Na2CO3 concentration(0.05–2.0 mol·L^(-1)),superficial gas velocity(0.00221–0.01989 m·s^(-1)),superficial liquid velocity(0.00332–0.02984 m·s^(-1)),and ionic strength(1.42456–1.59588 mol·kg^(-1)).And volumetric mass transfer coeffi-cients kLa and superficial reaction rates r of the MIR and the bubble column reactor are compared in the reaction of sodium carbonate absorption of carbon dioxide,and the former shows a greater improvement under different solution properties and operating parameters.The enhanced role of MIR in mass transfer in non-homogeneous reactions is verified and the feasibility of industrial practical applications of MIR is demonstrated.

文摘Li-metal batteries(LMBs)regain research prominence owing to the ever-increasing high-energy requirements.Commercially available carbonate electrolytes exhibit unfavourable parasitic reactions with Limetal anode(LMA),leading to the formation of unstable solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)and the breed of Li dendrites/dead Li.Significantly,lithium nitrate(LiNO_(3)),an excellent film-forming additive,proves crucial to construct a robust Li_(3)N/Li_(2)O/Li_(x)NO_(y)-rich SEI after combining with ether-based electrolytes.Thus,the given challenge leads to natural ideas which suggest the incorporation of LiNO_(3) into commercial carbonate for practical LMBs.Regrettably,LiNO_(3) demonstrates limited solubility(~800 ppm)in commercial carbonate electrolytes.Thence,developing stable SEI and dendrite-free LMA with the incorporation of LiNO_(3) into carbonate electrolytes is an efficacious strategy to realize robust LMBs via a scalable and cost-effective route.Therefore,this review unravels the grievances between LMA,LiNO_(3)and carbonate electrolytes,and enables a comprehensive analysis of LMA stabilizing mechanism with LiNO_(3),dissolution principle of LiNO_(3) in carbonate electrolytes,and LiNO_(3) introduction strategies.This review converges attention on a point that the LiNO_(3)-introduction into commercial carbonate electrolytes is an imperious choice to realize practical LMBs with commercial 4 V layered cathode.

文摘In order to enhance the sintering resistance of lanthanum aluminate based high emissivity coatings,Ca^(2+)-Fe^(3+)doped LaAlO_(3)/ZrO_(2)specimens were prepared by solid state sintering using La_(2)O_(3),Al_(2)O_(3),CaCO_(3) and Fe_(2)O_(3) as raw materials,extra-adding fused Y_(2)O_(3)-stabilized ZrO_(2)(0,5%,10%,and 15%,by mass),ball milling,pre-calcining,pressing into shapes and sintering at 1600℃for 2 h.The effect of the ZrO_(2)addition on the properties of lanthanum aluminate based high emissivity coatings was explored.It is concluded that ZrO_(2)does not react with LaAlO_(3),which can inhibit the sintering of the specimens.With the increase of the ZrO_(2),addition,the linear shrinkage rate and the thermal conductivity decrease significantly,while the emissivity decreases,but the emissivity of all the specimens is all higher than 0.9.The optimal addition of ZrO_(2),is 10%.

文摘The Ordovician-Silurian Wufeng and Longmaxi Shale in the Sichuan Basin were studied to understand the genesis and diagenetic evolution of carbonate minerals and their effects on reservoir quality. The results of geochemical and petrological analyses show that calcite grains have a negative Ce anomaly indicating they formed in the oxidizing environment of seawater. The high carbonate mineral contents in the margin of basin indicate that calcite grains and cores of dolomite grains appear largely to be of detrital origin. The rhombic rims of dolomite grains and dolomite concretions with the δ^(13)C of –15.46‰ and the enrichment of middle rare earth elements were formed during the sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane. The calcite in radiolarian were related to the microbial sulfate reduction for the abundant anhedral pyrites and δ^(13)C value of –11.34‰. Calcite veins precipitated in the deep burial stage with homogenization temperature of the inclusions ranging from 146.70 ℃ to 182.90 ℃. The pores in shale are mainly organic matter pores with pore size mainly in the range of 1–20 nm in diameter. Carbonate minerals influence the development of pores through offering storage space for organic matter. When calcite contents ranging from 10% to 20%, calcite grains and cement as rigid framework can preserve primary pores. Subsequently, the thermal cracking of liquid petroleum in primary pores will form organic matter pores. The radiolarian were mostly partially filled with calcite, which combining with microcrystalline quartz preserved a high storage capacity.

文摘Geothermal energy is a kind of renewable,sustainable and clean energy resource.Geothermal energy is abundant in carbonate reservoirs.However,low matrix permeability limits its exploitation.The super-critical carbon dioxide(SC-CO_(2))jet fracturing is expected to efficiently stimulate the carbonate geothermal reservoirs and achieve the storage of CO_(2) simultaneously.In this paper,we established a transient seepage and fluid-thermo-mechanical coupled model to analyze the impact performance of sc-CO_(2) jet fracturing.The mesh-based parallel code coupling interface was employed to couple the fluid and solid domains by exchanging the data through the mesh interface.The physical properties change of sC-CO_(2) with temperature were considered in the numerical model.Results showed that SC-CO_(2) jet frac-turing is superior to water-jet fracturing with respect to jetting velocity,particle trajectory and pene-trability.Besides,stress distribution on the carbonate rock showed that the tensile and shear failure would more easily occur by SC-CO_(2) jet than that by water jet.Moreover,pressure and temperature control the jet field and seepage field of sC-CO_(2) simultaneously.Increasing the jet temperature can effectively enhance the impingement effect and seepage process by decreasing the viscosity and density of SC-CO_(2).The key findings are expected to provide a theoretical basis and design reference for applying SC-CO_(2) jet fracturing in carbonate geothermal reservoirs.
