It is con-sistent with the previous study. The melting temperature of eclogite increases with pressure,whereas potassic basalt has similar properties only at 1.5—2.5 GPa and>3.0 GPa, and at 2.5—3.0 GPa the melting temperature decreases with pressure. This can be explained as follows: (1)eclogite only has one hydrous mineral amphibole and the dehydous temperature is lower than thewet solidus of the rock. (2) Amphibole exists in potassic basalt at the pressures lower than 2.5GPa and phlogopite exists at pressures higher than 2.5 GPa, and the special compositions of bothminerals determine that amphibole has a dehydration temperature higher than or close to that ofthe wet solidus of the rocks, while phlogopite has a dehydration temperature lower than that ofthe wet solidus. On the other hand the features of the continuous solidus in the experiment ofhydrous eclogite were produced by the fact that the dehydration temperature of its amphibolelower than or close to the melting temperature of the hydrous conditions. So the melting tempera-ture lowers at higher pressures. Therefore, the composition of the rocks in the lithosphere and thetypes of hydrous minerals and their stable P-T conditions are the important factors controllingthe solidi of rocks. It can quite well explain the partial melting of rocks and the origin of the lowvelocity zone in the deep lithosphere.展开更多

Aqueous Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption onto MFA was examined as a function of MFA dosage, pH and initial Cr（Ⅲ） concentration with the Box-Behnken approach used for experimental design and optimization using response surface methodology （RSM）. pH and dosage （dosage and concentration） have significant interactive effects on Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption efficiency. Analysis of variance shows that the response surface quadratic model is highly significant and can effectively predict the experimental outcomes. Cr（Ⅲ） removal effi- ciency of 98% was obtained using optimized conditions of MFA dosage, pH and initial Cr（Ⅲ） concentration of 1,5 7 g. L- 1, 4.11 and 126 mg. L- 1, respectively. Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption onto MFA is mainly attributed to the interaction between Or（Ⅲ） and the functional group --OH of the hydrous magnesium oxide, in all probability caused by chemisorptions. The results of this study can conduce to reveal the interactions between Cr（Ⅲ） pollutant and MFA characteristics, posing important implications for the cost-effective alternative adsorption technology in the treatment of heavy metal containing wastewater.展开更多

The optimized results show that H atoms prefer to substitute Fe atoms in the Fe1 site. Compared with the anhydrous fayalite Fe2SiO4, the mass density, elastic moduli, and sound velocities of Fe1.75H0.5SiO4 slightly decrease. According to our data, adding 2.3 wt% water into fayalite leads to reductions of compressional and shear wave velocities （VP and VS） by 3.4%-7.5% and 0.3%-3.4% at pressures from 0 GPa to 25 GPa, respectively, which are basically in agreement with the 2%-5% reductions of sound velocity obtained by the experimental measurement in the low velocity zones （LVZ）. Based on the electronic structure, the valence and conduction bands are slightly broader for hydrous fayalite. However, hydrous fayalite keeps the insulation characteristics under the pressures up to 30 GPa, which indicates that hydration has little effect on its electronic structure.展开更多

The experiments used mixtures of a third each of the natural minerals clinopyroxene, phlogopite and K-richterite, some with the addition of 5% of an accessory phase ilmenite, rutile or apatite. Although the major element compositions of melts resemble natural lamproites, the trace element contents of most trace elements from the three-mineral mixture are much lower than in lamproites. Apatite is required in the source to provide high abundances of the rare earth elements, and either rutile and/or ilmenite is required to provide the high field strength elements Ti, Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf. Phlogopite controls the high levels of Rb, Cs and Ba.Since abundances of trace elements in the various starting mixtures vary strongly because of the use of natural minerals, we calculated mineral/melt partition coefficients (DMin/melt) using mineral modes and melting reactions and present trace element patterns for different degrees of partial melting of hydrous pyroxenites. Rb, Cs and Ba are compatible in phlogopite and the partition coefficient ratio phlogopite/K-richterite is high for Ba (136) and Rb (12). All melts have low contents of most of the first row transition elements, particularly Ni and Cu ((0.1-0.01)×primitive mantle). Nickel has high DMin/melt for all the major minerals (12 for K-richterite, 9.2 for phlogopite and 5.6 for Cpx) and so behaves at least as compatibly as in melting of peridotites. Fluorine/chlorine ratios in melts are high and DMin/melt for fluorine decreases in the order apatite (2.2) > phlogopite (1.5) > K-richterite (0.87). The requirement for apatite and at least one Ti-oxide in the source of natural lamproites holds for mica pyroxenites that lack K-richterite. The results are used to model isotopic ageing in hydrous pyroxenite source rocks: phlogopite controls Sr isotopes, so that lamproites with relatively low 87Sr/86Sr must come from phlogopite-poor source rocks, probably dominated by Cpx and K-richterite. At high pressures (>4 GPa), peritectic Cpx holds back Na, explaining the high K2O/Na2O of lamproites.展开更多

To understand the effect of precipitation pH and coexisting Mg^(2+) on phosphate adsorption onto zirconium oxide(ZrO_2), ZrO_2 particles precipitated at pH 5.3, 7.1 and 10.5, i.e., ZrO_2(5.3), ZrO_2(7.1)and ZrO_2(10.5...To understand the effect of precipitation pH and coexisting Mg^(2+) on phosphate adsorption onto zirconium oxide(ZrO_2), ZrO_2 particles precipitated at pH 5.3, 7.1 and 10.5, i.e., ZrO_2(5.3), ZrO_2(7.1)and ZrO_2(10.5), respectively were prepared and characterized, then their adsorption performance and mechanism in the absence and presence of Mg^(2+) were comparatively investigated in this study. The results showed that the Elovich, pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models correlated with the experimental data well. The adsorption mechanism involved the complexation between phosphate and zirconium. Coexisting Mg^(2+) slightly inhibited the adsorption of phosphate on ZrO_2(5.3), including the adsorption capacity and rate, but coexisting Mg^(2+) greatly increased the adsorption capacity and rate for ZrO_2(7.1)and ZrO_2(10.5). The enhanced adsorption of phosphate on ZrO_2(7.1) and ZrO_2(10.5) in the presence of Mg^(2+) was mainly due to the formation of Mg^(2+)-HPO_4^(2-) ion pair(MgHPO_4~0) in the solution and then the adsorption of MgHPO_4~0 on the adsorbent surface, forming the phosphatebridged ternary complex Zr(OPO_3H)Mg. In the absence of Mg^(2+) , the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity at pH 7 calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model decreased in the order of ZrO 2(7.1)(67.3 mg/g) > ZrO_2(5.3)(53.6 mg/g) ≈ ZrO_2(10.5)(53.1 mg/g), but it followed the order of Zr O2(7.1)(97.0 mg/g) > ZrO_2(10.5)(79.7 mg/g) > ZrO_2(5.3)(51.3 mg/g) in the presence of Mg^(2+) . The results of this work suggest that ZrO_2(7.1) is more suitable for use as an adsorbent for the effective removal of phosphate from municipal wastewater than ZrO_2(5.3) and ZrO_2(10.5),because Mg^(2+) is generally present in this wastewater.展开更多

With the recent development of the experimental technique, studies of the electrical conductivity of hydrous silicate minerals under controlled temperature, pressure and oxygen fugacity, have helped to constrain the water distribution in the Earth's interior. This paper introduces high pressure and temperature experimental study of electrical conductivity measurement of hydrous minerals such as serpentine, talc, brucite, phase A, super hydrous phase B and phase D, and assesses the data quality of the above minerals. The dehydration effect and the pressure effect on the bulk conductivity of the hydrous minerals are specifically emphasized. The conduction mechanism of hydrous minerals and the electrical structure of the subduction zone are discussed based on the available conductivity data. Finally, the potential research fields of the electrical conductivity of hydrous minerals is presented.展开更多

文摘In order to investigate the impact of U-ore on organic matter maturation and isotopic fractionation,we designed hydrous pyrolysis experiments on Type-II kerogen samples,supposing that the water and water–mineral interaction play a role.U-ore was set as the variable for comparison.Meanwhile,anhydrous pyrolysis under the same conditions was carried out as the control experiments.The determination of liquid products indicates that the presence of water and minerals obviously enhanced the yields of C（15＋） and the amounts of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon gases.Such results may be attributed to waterorganic matter reaction in the high-temperature system,which can provide additional hydrogen and oxygen for the generation of gas and liquid products from organic matter.It is found that δD values of hydrocarbon gases generated in both hydrous pyrolysis experiments are much lower than those in anhydrous pyrolysis.What is more,δD values are lower in the hydrous pyrolysis with uranium ore.Therefore,we can infer that water-derived hydrogen played a significant role during the kerogen thermal evolution and the hydrocarbon generation in our experiments.Isotopic exchange was facilitated by the reversible equilibration between reaction intermediaries with hydrogen under hydrothermal conditions with uranium ore.Carbon isotopic fractionations of hydrocarbon gases were somehow affected by the presence of water and the uranium ore.The increased level of i-C4/n-C4ratios for gas products in hydrous pyrolysis implied the carbocation mechanism for water-kerogen reactions.

文摘Melting experiments on ultramafic rocks rich in the hydrous minerals phlogopite or phlogopite+K-rich terite,some including 5%of accessory phases,have been conducted at 15 and 50 kbar.The assemblages represent probable source components that contribute to melts in cratonic regions,but whose melt compositions are poorly known.A main series of starting compositions based on MARID xenoliths consisted of a third each of clinopyroxene(CPX),phlogopite(PHL)and K-richterite(KR)with or without 5%ilmenite,rutile or apatite.Additional experiments were run without KR and with higher proportions of accessory phases.Melt traps were used at near-solidus temperatures to facilitate accurate analysis of wellquenched melts,for which reversal experiments demonstrate equilibrium.Results show that KR melts rapidly and completely within 50°C of the solidus,so that melts reflect the composition of the amphibole and its melting reaction.Melts have high SiO_(2) and especially K_(2)O but low CaO and Al_(2)O_(3) relative to basaltic melts produced from peridotites at similar pressures.They have no counterparts amongst natural rocks,but most closely resemble leucite lamproites at 15 kbar.KR and PHL melt incongruently to form olivine(OL)and CPX at 15 kbar,promoting SiO2 contents of the melt,whereas orthopyroxene OPX is increasingly stable at lower lithosphere pressures,leading to an increase in Mg O and decrease in SiO_(2) in melts,which resemble olivine lamproites.Melts of mica pyroxenites without KR are richer in CaO and Al_(2)O_(3) and do not resemble lamproites.These experiments show that low CaO and Al_(2)O_(3) in igneous rocks is not necessarily a sign of a depleted peridotite source.Accessory phases produce melts exceptionally rich in P_(2)O_(5) or TiO_(2) depending on the phases present and are unlike any melts seen at the Earth’s surface,but may be important agents of metasomatism seen in xenoliths.The addition of the 5%accessory phases ilmenite,rutile or apatite result in melting temperatures a few ten of degrees lower;at least two of these appear essential to explain the compositions of many alkaline igneous rocks on cratons.Melting temperatures for CPX+PHL+KR mixtures are close to cratonic geotherms at depths>130 km:minor perturbations of the stable geotherm at>150 km will rapidly lead to 20%melting.Melts of hydrous pyroxenites with a variety of accessory phases will be common initial melts at depth,but will change if reaction with wall-rocks occurs,leading to volcanism that contains chemical components of peridotite even though the temperature in the source region remains well below the melting point of peridotite.At higher temperatures,extensive melting of peridotite will dilute the initial alkaline melts:this is recognizable as alkaline components in basalts and,in extreme cases,alkali picrites.Hydrous pyroxenites are,therefore,components of most mantle-derived igneous rocks:basaltic rocks should not be oversimplified as being purely melts of peridotite or of mixtures of peridotite and dry pyroxenite without hydrous phases.

文摘Aqueous rechargeable zinc-based batteries have attracted increasing interest and been considered potential alternatives for state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries because of the low cost and high safety.Many cathode materials have been gradually developed and demonstrated excellent electrochemical performances.However,the complex electrochemistry,inevitable hydrogen release,and zinc corrosion severely hinder the practical application.The most concerned Zn-MnO_(2)batteries still suffer from the Mn dissolution and formation of byproducts.By adding organic solvents to inhibit the activity of water molecules,the hydrous organic electrolytes provide a sound solution for eliminating the unfavorable factors.Here we report a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether-based hydrous organic electrolyte consisting of LiClO_(4)·3H_(2)O and Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O,and a birnessite-type MnO_(2)cathode material for Zn-MnO_(2)batteries.The Li+/Zn2+ions co-(de)insertion mechanism is ascertained by the structural and morphological analyses.The electrostatic interaction between inserted ions and crystal structure is reduced effectively by employment of monovalent Li+ions,which ensures structural stability of cathode materials.Hydrous tetraglyme electrolyte inhibits the activity of water molecules and thus avoids the formation of byproduct Zn_(4)ClO_(4)(OH)7·Meanwhile,highly stable Zn plating/stripping for over 1500 h,an average coulombic efficiency of>99%in long-term cycling,and ultralong storage life(the cells can work well after stored over 1 year)are simultaneously realized in the novel electrolyte.Benefitting from these aspects,the Zn-MnO_(2)batteries manifest high specific capacity of 132 mA h g^(-1),an operating voltage of 1.25 V,and a capacity retention of>98%after 1000 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g^(-1).

文摘The experimental study on the melting of potassic basalt and eclogite with about 2% waterat 800-1300℃ and 1.0-3.5 GPa shows that the solidi of both rocks are significantly lower thanthose obtained from the previous experiments of the same type of rocks under dry conditions,and the former which is enriched in potassium has a lower melting point than the latter. It is con-sistent with the previous study. The melting temperature of eclogite increases with pressure,whereas potassic basalt has similar properties only at 1.5—2.5 GPa and>3.0 GPa, and at 2.5—3.0 GPa the melting temperature decreases with pressure. This can be explained as follows: (1)eclogite only has one hydrous mineral amphibole and the dehydous temperature is lower than thewet solidus of the rock. (2) Amphibole exists in potassic basalt at the pressures lower than 2.5GPa and phlogopite exists at pressures higher than 2.5 GPa, and the special compositions of bothminerals determine that amphibole has a dehydration temperature higher than or close to that ofthe wet solidus of the rocks, while phlogopite has a dehydration temperature lower than that ofthe wet solidus. On the other hand the features of the continuous solidus in the experiment ofhydrous eclogite were produced by the fact that the dehydration temperature of its amphibolelower than or close to the melting temperature of the hydrous conditions. So the melting tempera-ture lowers at higher pressures. Therefore, the composition of the rocks in the lithosphere and thetypes of hydrous minerals and their stable P-T conditions are the important factors controllingthe solidi of rocks. It can quite well explain the partial melting of rocks and the origin of the lowvelocity zone in the deep lithosphere.

文摘Hydrous magnesium oxide coated fly ash （MFA） has environmental remediation potential by providing a sub- strate for the adsorption of aqueous Cr（Ⅲ）. Aqueous Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption onto MFA was examined as a function of MFA dosage, pH and initial Cr（Ⅲ） concentration with the Box-Behnken approach used for experimental design and optimization using response surface methodology （RSM）. pH and dosage （dosage and concentration） have significant interactive effects on Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption efficiency. Analysis of variance shows that the response surface quadratic model is highly significant and can effectively predict the experimental outcomes. Cr（Ⅲ） removal effi- ciency of 98% was obtained using optimized conditions of MFA dosage, pH and initial Cr（Ⅲ） concentration of 1,5 7 g. L- 1, 4.11 and 126 mg. L- 1, respectively. Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption onto MFA is mainly attributed to the interaction between Or（Ⅲ） and the functional group --OH of the hydrous magnesium oxide, in all probability caused by chemisorptions. The results of this study can conduce to reveal the interactions between Cr（Ⅲ） pollutant and MFA characteristics, posing important implications for the cost-effective alternative adsorption technology in the treatment of heavy metal containing wastewater.
文摘The Raman and IR spectra of LnTPPTS·10H 2O[Ln=La,Sm,TPPTS=P(m C 6H 4SO 3)3-3]complexes are reported.Based on the observed Raman and IR characteristic frequencies,a vibrational assignments has been made for these complexes.Coordination induces a lengthening of the S—O bonds and a shortening of the C—S bond.The C—S stretching frequencies should therefore increase while the position of the v(SO 3)should move to a lower wavenumber.Vibrational modes of metal oxygen polyhedronν(Ln—Ο)at 146,168,253 cm-1 are the structural charactrization for coordinate bond of LnTPPTS complexes.

文摘To investigate the influence of diagenetic water media on the hydrogen isotopes of individual sedimentary aromatic compounds,a series of hydrous pyrolyses were conducted on herbaceous peat.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)in hydrous pyrolysed samples and their hydrogen isotopic composition characteristics were studied.The aqueous medium demonstrated a significant influence on the hydrogen isotopic composition of the individual PAHs generated during pyrolysis.The results showed that the PAHs formed after pyrolysis in the presence of a saltwater medium with high δD value from a salt lake had a heavy hydrogen isotopic composition.The PAHs formed after pyrolysis in the presence of a fresh water medium with low δD value from a swamp had a light hydrogen isotopic composition.The difference in the average PAHδD value between the two hydrous experiments varied from -174‰ to -109‰,suggesting that the hydrogen isotopic composition of individual sedimentary PAHs can reflect the source of the diagenetic water medium.In addition,a comparative study found that the hydrogen isotopes of PAHs were superior to those of n-alkanes in the same sample for diagenetic water indications.The results indicated that the exchange of water-derived inorganic hydrogen and organic hydrogen was more intensive in freshwater experiments than in saltwater experiments.With an increase in the simulation temperature,the average δD value of PAHs generated in the hydrous simulation experiments showed an increasing trend,reflecting that the δD value of sedimentary PAHs formed with the participation of diagenetic water media was still closely related to the thermal maturity of organic matter.Comparative studies showed that theδD values of different types of organic compounds produced by hydrous pyrolysis of peat were in the order,PAHs>n-alkanes>methane.

文摘Hydrous pyrolysis(HP)practiced on type-Ⅱ kerogen-bearing oil shale samples from the Sargelu Formation in the Ghali-Kuh Area,western Iran,using a specially designed apparatus was performed at different temperatures(250-350℃),with hydrocarbon generation evaluated at each temperature.For comparison,the samples subjected to Rock-Eval pyrolysis before proceeding to HP resulted in T_(max)=418℃,HI=102,and TOC=4.33%,indicating immaturity and hence remarkable hydrocarbon(especially oil)generation potential,making them appropriate for HP.Moreover,the samples were deposited in a low-energy reductive marine environment,with maximum oil and gas generation(739 mg and 348 mg out of50 g of rock sample,respectively)observed at 330℃ and 350℃,respectively.The oil generated at 330℃ was subjected to gas chromatography(GC)and isotopic analyses to assess hydrocarbon quality and composition.The hydrocarbon generation data was devised to estimate kinetic indices of the Arrhenius equation and to investigate the gas-oil ratio(GOR)and overall conversion yield.Based on the producible hydrocarbon quantity and quality,the findings contribute to the economic assessment of oil shales across the study area.The developed kinetic model indicates the history of hydrocarbon generation and organic matter(OM)maturity.

文摘The structures, elasticities, sound velocities, and electronic properties of anhydrous and hydrous fayalite （Fe2SiO4 and Fe1.75H0.5SiO4） under high pressure have been investigated by means of the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation （GGA） with the on-site Coulomb energy being taken into account （GGA＋U）. The optimized results show that H atoms prefer to substitute Fe atoms in the Fe1 site. Compared with the anhydrous fayalite Fe2SiO4, the mass density, elastic moduli, and sound velocities of Fe1.75H0.5SiO4 slightly decrease. According to our data, adding 2.3 wt% water into fayalite leads to reductions of compressional and shear wave velocities （VP and VS） by 3.4%-7.5% and 0.3%-3.4% at pressures from 0 GPa to 25 GPa, respectively, which are basically in agreement with the 2%-5% reductions of sound velocity obtained by the experimental measurement in the low velocity zones （LVZ）. Based on the electronic structure, the valence and conduction bands are slightly broader for hydrous fayalite. However, hydrous fayalite keeps the insulation characteristics under the pressures up to 30 GPa, which indicates that hydration has little effect on its electronic structure.

文摘This study focuses on the use of heavy fuel oil in construction in Burkina Faso.Mixed with silty and/or clay soil,it is used as a coating to reinforce the walls of raw soil constructions which are very sensitive to water.The interest of this paper is to shed light on the thermomechanical and above all water effects of heavy fuel oil on a sample of silty clayey soil.To achieve this,we used heavy fuel oil added in different proportions to silty clayey soil,to make sample of bricks on which tests were carried out.At the end of the experimental tests carried out on materials made(bricks)with our soil sample,it appears that heavy fuel oil moderately reduces the mechanical resistance of bricks and slightly increases thermal diffusion through them.On the contrary,we note a very good water resistance of the bricks thanks to the heavy fuel oil,in particular their water absorption by capillarity.This confirms that the mixture of heavy fuel oil and a silty-clayey soil used as a coating makes it possible to prevent the infiltration of water into the walls of raw soil constructions.However,its use as a construction material does not guarantee very good mechanical resistance,and slightly increases thermal diffusion.

文摘The trace element compositions of melts and minerals from high-pressure experiments on hydrous pyroxenites containing K-richterite are presented. The experiments used mixtures of a third each of the natural minerals clinopyroxene, phlogopite and K-richterite, some with the addition of 5% of an accessory phase ilmenite, rutile or apatite. Although the major element compositions of melts resemble natural lamproites, the trace element contents of most trace elements from the three-mineral mixture are much lower than in lamproites. Apatite is required in the source to provide high abundances of the rare earth elements, and either rutile and/or ilmenite is required to provide the high field strength elements Ti, Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf. Phlogopite controls the high levels of Rb, Cs and Ba.Since abundances of trace elements in the various starting mixtures vary strongly because of the use of natural minerals, we calculated mineral/melt partition coefficients (DMin/melt) using mineral modes and melting reactions and present trace element patterns for different degrees of partial melting of hydrous pyroxenites. Rb, Cs and Ba are compatible in phlogopite and the partition coefficient ratio phlogopite/K-richterite is high for Ba (136) and Rb (12). All melts have low contents of most of the first row transition elements, particularly Ni and Cu ((0.1-0.01)×primitive mantle). Nickel has high DMin/melt for all the major minerals (12 for K-richterite, 9.2 for phlogopite and 5.6 for Cpx) and so behaves at least as compatibly as in melting of peridotites. Fluorine/chlorine ratios in melts are high and DMin/melt for fluorine decreases in the order apatite (2.2) > phlogopite (1.5) > K-richterite (0.87). The requirement for apatite and at least one Ti-oxide in the source of natural lamproites holds for mica pyroxenites that lack K-richterite. The results are used to model isotopic ageing in hydrous pyroxenite source rocks: phlogopite controls Sr isotopes, so that lamproites with relatively low 87Sr/86Sr must come from phlogopite-poor source rocks, probably dominated by Cpx and K-richterite. At high pressures (>4 GPa), peritectic Cpx holds back Na, explaining the high K2O/Na2O of lamproites.

文摘Fluoride is an impurity in nickel sulfate production,which is required for electric vehicle batteries.Hydrous zirconium oxide(HZO)was evaluated for removing fl uoride from nickel sulfate solution.Maximum fluoride removal occurred at pH value 4 and optimal pH value is 4–5,considering Zr solubility.Fluoride availability decreases with pH due to hydrogen fluoride and zirconium fluoride aqueous species.Fluoride removal is initially rapid,with 50 wt.%removal in 7 min,followed by slow removal up to 68 wt.%after 72 h and follows second order rate kinetics.Fluoride removal was dominated by an ion exchange mechanism and resulting Zr–F bonds were observed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.The presence of nickel sulfate decreased loading capacity compared to a salt-free solution.HZO maintained adsorption capacity through five cycles of loading and regeneration.

文摘Shale formations have recently gained plenty of attention owing to their large amounts of reserves.Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are the proposed approaches for the development of shale formations.The extended information of the mechanical properties of shale formation is crucial for designing a successful hydraulic fracturing operation.On the other hand,the mechanical properties of such organic-rich formations are greatly affected by the mechanical characteristics of the present kerogen(organic matter),which dramatically changes during the maturation process.In this study,a Qingshankou shale sample containing kerogen type I is mechanically investigated at different maturity levels using the grid nanoindentation approach.To this end,the original immature sample is artificially matured during hydrous(HP)and anhydrous(AHP)pyrolysis.More than 930 nanoindentation tests were performed on grids of 9×8 on the surface of 13 samples with different maturities.The test results showed that the presence of water during pyrolysis can significantly affect the shale sample's mechanical characteristics.In higher temperatures and higher levels of maturity,the role of water becomes more pronounced.During hydrous pyrolysis,kerogen produces larger amounts of oil and bitumen,which become progressively porous.While the original sample showed a Young's modulus value of more than 48 GPa,and it fluctuated between approximately 19 and 32 GPa during the HP scenario and between 17 and 34 GPa during the AHP process.In terms of hardness,the original sample exhibited an initial value of about 1.1 GPa and more mature samples reflected hardness values in the range of approximately 0.3 and 0.97 GPa in both scenarios.According to the trends of mechanical properties during maturation,mechanical properties decreased at the initial stage of maturation and remained relatively constant during the oil window.Then,another decline was detected at the wet-gas window's closure.In the dry-gas window,HP and AHP scenarios exhibited different behaviors mainly due to the chemical structure of the kerogen residue.

文摘To understand the effect of precipitation pH and coexisting Mg^(2+) on phosphate adsorption onto zirconium oxide(ZrO_2), ZrO_2 particles precipitated at pH 5.3, 7.1 and 10.5, i.e., ZrO_2(5.3), ZrO_2(7.1)and ZrO_2(10.5), respectively were prepared and characterized, then their adsorption performance and mechanism in the absence and presence of Mg^(2+) were comparatively investigated in this study. The results showed that the Elovich, pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models correlated with the experimental data well. The adsorption mechanism involved the complexation between phosphate and zirconium. Coexisting Mg^(2+) slightly inhibited the adsorption of phosphate on ZrO_2(5.3), including the adsorption capacity and rate, but coexisting Mg^(2+) greatly increased the adsorption capacity and rate for ZrO_2(7.1)and ZrO_2(10.5). The enhanced adsorption of phosphate on ZrO_2(7.1) and ZrO_2(10.5) in the presence of Mg^(2+) was mainly due to the formation of Mg^(2+)-HPO_4^(2-) ion pair(MgHPO_4~0) in the solution and then the adsorption of MgHPO_4~0 on the adsorbent surface, forming the phosphatebridged ternary complex Zr(OPO_3H)Mg. In the absence of Mg^(2+) , the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity at pH 7 calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model decreased in the order of ZrO 2(7.1)(67.3 mg/g) > ZrO_2(5.3)(53.6 mg/g) ≈ ZrO_2(10.5)(53.1 mg/g), but it followed the order of Zr O2(7.1)(97.0 mg/g) > ZrO_2(10.5)(79.7 mg/g) > ZrO_2(5.3)(51.3 mg/g) in the presence of Mg^(2+) . The results of this work suggest that ZrO_2(7.1) is more suitable for use as an adsorbent for the effective removal of phosphate from municipal wastewater than ZrO_2(5.3) and ZrO_2(10.5),because Mg^(2+) is generally present in this wastewater.

文摘Hydrous minerals are important water carriers in the crust and the mantle, especially in the subduction zone. With the recent development of the experimental technique, studies of the electrical conductivity of hydrous silicate minerals under controlled temperature, pressure and oxygen fugacity, have helped to constrain the water distribution in the Earth's interior. This paper introduces high pressure and temperature experimental study of electrical conductivity measurement of hydrous minerals such as serpentine, talc, brucite, phase A, super hydrous phase B and phase D, and assesses the data quality of the above minerals. The dehydration effect and the pressure effect on the bulk conductivity of the hydrous minerals are specifically emphasized. The conduction mechanism of hydrous minerals and the electrical structure of the subduction zone are discussed based on the available conductivity data. Finally, the potential research fields of the electrical conductivity of hydrous minerals is presented.

文摘Developing efficient and highly selective catalyst to promote hydrogen generation from hydrous hydrazine(N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O) and hydrazine borane(N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3))remains a challenging issue for fuel cell-based hydrogen economy.In this work,ultrafine and well-dispersed bimetallic NiPt nanoparticles(3.4 nm) were successfully immobilized on Y_(2)O_(3)-functionalized graphene(Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO) without any surfactant by a simple liquid impregnation approach.It is firstly found that integration of graphene and Y_(2)O_(3) not only can facilitate the formation of ultrafine NiPt nanoparticles(NPs),but also can effectively modulate the electronic structure of NiPt NPs,thereby boosting the catalytic performance.Compared with NiPt/Y_(2)O_(3) and NiPt/rGO,the NiPt/Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO nanocomposites(NCs) show remarkable enhanced catalytic efficiency for hydrogen production from N_(2)H_(4)-H_(2)O.In particular,the optimized Ni_(0.6)Pt_(0.4/)Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO NCs display the best catalytic efficiency and 100% H_(2) selectivity for N_(2)H_(4)-H_(2)O dehydrogenation,providing a turnover frequency(TOF) of2182 h^(-1) at 323 K,which is among the highest values ever reported.Moreover,the Ni_(0.6)Pt_(0.4)/Y_(2)O_(3)/rGO NCs also exhibit an excellent catalytic performance(TOF=3191 h^(-1)) and 100% H_(2) selectively for N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3)dehydrogenation at 323 K.The outstanding catalytic results obtained provide more possibilities for the potential applications of N_(2)H_(4)·H_(2)O and N_(2)H_(4)BH_(3) as promising chemical hydrogen storage materials.

文摘A novel arsenic adsorbent with hydrous cerium oxides coated on glass fiber cloth(HCO/GFC)was synthesized.The HCO/GFC adsorbents were rolled into a cartridge for arsenic removal test.Due to the large pores between the glass fibers,the arsenic polluted water can flow through easily.The arsenic removal performance was evaluated by testing the equilibrium adsorption isotherm,adsorption kinetics,and packed-bed operation.The pH effects on arsenic removal were conducted.The test results show that HCO/GFC filter has high As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)removal capacity even at low equilibrium concentration.The more toxic As(Ⅲ)in water can be easily removed within a wide range of solution p H without pre-treatment.Arsenic contaminated ground-water from Yangzong Lake(China)was used in the column test.At typical breakthrough conditions(the empty bed contact time,EBCT=2 min),arsenic researched breakthrough at over 24,000 bed volumes(World Health Organization(WHO)suggested that the maximum contaminant level(MCL)for arsenic in drinking water is 10 mg/L).The Ce content in the treated water was lower than 5 ppb during the column test,which showed that cerium did not leach from the HCO/GFC material into the treated water.The relationship between dosage of adsorbents and the adsorption kinetic model was also clarified,which suggested that the pseudo second order model could fit the kinetic experimental data better when the adsorbent loading was relatively low,and the pseudo first order model could fit the kinetic experimental data better when the adsorbent loading amount was relatively high.

文摘Trace element partitioning between coesite and hydrous silicate melt has been investigated at 5 GPa and 1500-1750℃.High-P experiments successfully produced large coesite crystals in equilibrium with large silicate melt pools(plus kyanite and corundum crystals in some cases).Scanning electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterize the phases and the textures.Wavelength-dispersive electron microprobe analyses were performed to quantify conventional major elements,and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analyses were successfully conducted to quantify trace elements.Eventually,high-P partition coefficients were obtained for 33 elements.In general coesite is a very pure phase.With a few possible exceptions like Sc,Ti,and V,nearly all other trace elements are incompatible in coesite.Moreover,the partitioning behaviors of nearly all trace elements except some 4+cations cannot be readily described by the lattice strain model,presumably implying a minor role for the cation size in the trace-element partitioning.Combining our experimental results with the results in the literature,some T and P effects on the element partitioning behavior have been observed:T seemingly has different effects on different trace elements,but P might negatively correlate with the partition coefficients in all cases.Due to its large modal fraction in some subducted materials such as the continental crustal material,coesite might play an important role in the distributions of some trace elements,Ti for example.
