In order to improve the characterization of MnCO3, a three-dimensional composite of MnCO3 and carbon black (CB) is built via a quite simple co-precipitation method at room temperature. Firstly we use concentrate HNO3 to purify and activate the CB, then we put the CB into the mixture of NH4HCO3 and MnSO4 for co-precipitation. We find many negative groups (carboxyl and quinone) on the purified CBs' surface by FT-IR and XPS, which make CB difficult to reunite in the water. MnCO3 like lotus is mixed with flocculated carbon black with diameter 700 nm which is identified by SEM. The result of XRD shows that the fiber like product is MnCO3. The cyclic voltammetry of the MnCO3/CB nanocomposite shows better electrochemical performance than pure MnCO3. As a new capacitor energy storage material, MnCO3/CB composite provide a new direction for supercapacitor electrode material.
A series of noble metal-free Mn-K2CO3/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for NOx storage and reduction (NSR) with different Mn loadings were prepared via dry impregnation. The effects of manganese loading on the structure and catalytic activity of the NSR catalysts were investigated, and the effects of H2O and CO2 on the NOx storage capacities were also investigated. The techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), temperature-programmed of H2 reduction (H2-TPR) and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD), were used to characterize the structure of the catalysts. The results showed that manganese was mainly in the forms of MnO2 and Mn3O4, and there is a small amount of Mn2O3. With the increase of Mn loading, the NOx-redox ability of the catalysts was enhanced. However, with the increase of Mn loading, the specific surface area of the catalysts decreased, resulting in the decrease of the K2CO3 distribution and the surface K2CO3 gradually turned into bulk K2CO3. The NOx storage capacity (NSC) was affected by the two factors of catalyst redox ability and K2CO3 dispersion. When the mass ratio of Mn/Al2O3 is 0.10, the catalyst has the largest NSC (1.30 mmol·g-1). After 10 cycles under lean-burn/fuel-rich conditions, the NOx reduction efficiency reached as high as 99%. The NSC of the catalyst decreased when H2O and CO2 were added to the reaction gas, and the effect of CO2 was larger than that of H2O.
To improve the poor cycling performance and low conductivity of SnO2, SnO2/C composite was synthesized by hydrothermal process and was used as anode material of lithium battery. The technology of preparation hierarchical SnO2 was investigated by adjusting the concentration of tin source. The constitution and morphology of material were characterized by XRD and SEM technique. The CV and constant-current charge/discharge were used to analyze the electrochemical performance. Compared with hierarchical SnO2 electrode, hierarchical SnO2/C composite electrode exhibits 346.1 mAh·g-1 at 200 mA·g-1 after 50 cycles while SnO2 electrode remain 20.6 mAh·g-1 at the same condition. At the same time, rate capability is improved by introducing the amorphous carbon.
Organics modified nanotubes was prepared successfully using intercalation and ion exchange method. Effects of DMSO, CH3OH and HDTMA on structure and adsorption desulfurization performance of halloysite nanotubes(HNTs) were investigated, the influences of adsorption temperature, time and rate were discussed. The modified HNTs were characterized by X-Ray diffractometer, infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption. The results show that the basic tubular structure of HNTs was not destroyed, but the intercalating space and nanotube diameters were changed, after the organics modification, the adsorption desulfurization capability were enhanced, when the temperature is 30℃, adsorption time is 4 hours, and ratio of adsorbent to oil is 1:20, the adsorption capacity of the HDTMA modified HNTs is about 9.42 mg/g, and the desulfurization rate increases to 58.85% from 29.62%.
The composite flocculants were prepared using PAC (Polymeric aluminum chloride)and PDMDAAC (Poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) as raw materials, and was used in purification treatment of seawater. The coagulation process during the treatment of coastal seawater was evaluated by investigating flocculation index(FI), floc thickness and stability kinetics under different PDMDAAC/Al mass ratios. The Box-Behnken response surface methodology was used to study the combined effects of flocculant dosage and pH on turbidity and CODMn removal efficiency. The experimental results demonstrated that the composite flocculant had better flocculant efficiency than PAC. The increase in the PDMDAAC/Al mass ratio resulted in a larger flocculation index, flocs thickness and stability kinetics parameter, and the floc sedimentation rate was also increased. The optimal coagulation conditions for the treatment of seawater using PAC-PDMDAAC were as follows:pH 7.5, flocculant dosage 15.3 mg/L. Moreover, the maximum removal rate of CODMn and turbidity under optimal conditions reached up to 65.2% and 87.4% respectively, which were consistent with the predicted value by response surface methodology.

The protective performance of polyaniline/epoxy coating was effectively improved by adding appropriate tephra micron particles (TMP). Meanwhile the effect of TMP incorporation content on protective efficiency was investigated. The experiment results indicate that impedance modulus of low frequency for coatings with TMP maintained high levels after 60 days immersion in NaCl solution (95℃, 12%). Among them coating with 10% TMP had the highest impedance modulus, 1.27×109 Ω·cm2, which means the coating steel had a well protective performance. In addition, the hybrid coating has improved adhesion strength and outstanding thermal shock resistance.
The effect of temperature, cooling rate and tributy phosphate (TBP) on the metastable zone width (MSZW) of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) was investigated in this work. The MSZW and the apparent nucleation order of ADP under different conditions were calculated. The induction time for ADP with and without TBP was determined, and the nucleation parameters were determined using the classical theory of nucleation. The results show that the MSZW decreases with increasing temperature and the presence of TBP leads to an increase in the MSZW, induction time and nucleation parameters.
A finite element model of decanter centrifuge was established by ANSYS software. The centrifugal hydraulic pressure versus rotational speed and the stress state of the rotor system are obtained through the fluid solid coupling simulation. The maximum pressure of the internal flow field of decanter centrifugal is located in the inner wall of the bowl surface at the exit section of the distributor. And the maximum displacement of the rotor system occurs in the middle of the spiral and the maximum stress is located at the connection point of the spiral blade root and the spiral tube body. Afterwards, the numerical simulation results were certified with the vibration test. A new method for testing the critical speed of the double rotor of the decanter centrifuge is proposed.
The mean droplet size and droplet size distribution are two important parameters for the description of immiscible liquid-liquid dispersion. They are closely related to the contact areas between the two phases which determine the rates of mass and heat transfer and chemical reactions. This work investigated the water-oil dispersion within a stirred tank using CFD method in detail. Results show the dispersion is significantly affected by the impeller speed, dispersed phase volume fraction and continuous phase viscosity. The increase of impeller speed and continuous phase viscosity is beneficial to dispersion when the composition of two phases was constant. The plots of mean droplet size versus impeller speed and that of mean droplet size versus dispersed phase volume fraction give good log-linear correlations, and the relative coefficients are up to 0.999. Besides, the droplet size distributions based on number are found to have bimodal distribution with the variation of impeller speed and continuous phase viscosity, while the droplet size distributions based on volume are unimodal distribution all the time.
