Based on as-prepared PQ/nano-TiO2composite, we prepared interior paints and investigated the degradation efficiency of formaldehyde(DEF). Scanning electron microscopy showed that nano-TiO2got well dispersed by the adding of PQ. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the mass ratio of 4:1 was a relatively good proportion for the most production of PQ/nano-TiO2composite. Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry showed that the peak position of Ti-O-Si bond varied with the milling time. At the early stage, no characteristic peak of Ti-O-Si bond was observed, while at the later stage, new peaks at 902 cm-1and 937 cm-1appeared. Meanwhile, PQ/nano-TiO2composite-based interior paint exhibited significant DEF of 96.3% compared to that consisting of sole nanoTiO2of 92.0% under visible light illumination. As an abundant mineral resource, PQ would make interior paints with HCHO purifying effect much more efficient and cheaper.展开更多

The flotation behaviors of decyltrimethylammonium (103C), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) on kaolinite of different part...The flotation behaviors of decyltrimethylammonium (103C), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) on kaolinite of different particle size fraction were studied. The adsorbed amount and adsorption isotherms of collectors on kaolinite were determined for painstaking investigation into the adsorption of quaternary amines at kaolinite-water interface by ultraviolet spectrophotometer methods. The flotation results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite of different particle fraction increases with an increase in pH when 103C, DTAC, TTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. Particle size of kaolinite has a strong effect on flotation. The flotation recovery of fine kaolinite decreases with the carbon chain of quaternary ammonium salts collectors increasing, while coarse kaolinite is on the contrary. The adsorbed amount tests and adsorption isotherms show that adsorbed amount increases when the particle size of kaolinite increases or when the carbon chain length of quaternary ammonium salts increases. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, the longer the hydrocarbon chain, the more probable to be absolutely adsorbed by fine kaolinite particles and then the lower the collector concentration in the bulk, which leds to lower flotation recovery.展开更多

The results are: 1) the gel shows obvious XRD diffraction peaks, which is different from common Al gels and their oxalate precipitations; 2) the peak of Al-O stretch vibration of Al13-oxalate complexes at 810 cm-1 indicates that the gel was formed directly by the complexes, and the characteristic peaks of IR and solid-state NMR respectively occur at 725 cm-1 and ～6.1×10-5 chemical shift, which are respectively assigned to (Al-O)Td vibration and (Al-O)4 tetrahedron, suggesting that the gel has a unique Keggin structure; 3) Al13 polyoxocation can directly form gel with oxalate, even in a high-pH environment (=7.8). This finding provides new evidence for the universality of Al13 in natural environments. Through chemical analysis, the chemical formula of the gel was determined to be AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12(C2O4)7/2.展开更多

The catalytic performance of MoS2 photocatalyst obtained at different reaction temperatures was studied, meanwhile the effects of different concentrations and different pH on degradation rate of methylene blue(MB) were investigated. The results show that those prepared photocatalyst samples are of nanometer scale, which exhibits better photocatalytic activity. When preparing MoS2 photocatalyst, the higher temperature of the hydrothermal reaction, the greater the photocatalytic performance will be, and the crystallinity can be higher as well. As for degrading MB, the higher the concentration of MB is, the worse the degradation effect will be. The prepared photocatalyst was observed to show better degrading performance for MB solution under acidic condition, when pH was taken into consideration.展开更多

The two kinds of quaternary ammonium salts [RN(CH3)3] with different chain lengths, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) were used as collectors for kaolinite in different particle size fractions (0.075–0.01 mm, 0.045–0.075 mm, 0–0.045 mm). The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite have been further explained based on crystal structure considerations by adsorption tests and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite in all different particle size fractions decreases with an increase in pH when DTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. The longer the carbon chain of QAS is, the higher the recoveries of coarse kaolinite (0.075–0.01 mm and 0.045–0.075 mm) are. But the flotation recovery of the finest kaolinite (0–0.045 mm) decreases with chain lengths of QAS collectors increasing, which is consistent with the flotation results of unsifted kaolinite (0–0.075 mm). It is explained by the froth stability related to the residual concentration of QAS collector. In lower residual concentration, the froth stability becomes worse. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, it's easy of CTAC to be completely adsorbed by kaolinite in the particle size fraction (0–0.045 mm), which led to lower flotation recovery. Moreover, it is interesting that the particle size of kaolinite is coarser, the flotation recovery is higher. The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite is rationalized based on crystal structure considerations. The results of MD simulations show that the (001) kaolinite surface has the strongest interaction with DTAC, compared with the (001), (010) and (110) surfaces. On the other hand, when particle size of kaolinite is altered, the number of basal planes and edge planes is changed. It is observed that the finer kaolinite particles size become, the greater relative surface area of edges is, and the more the number of edges is. It means that fine kaolinite particles have more edges to adsorb less cationic colletors than that of coarse kaolinite particles, which is responsible for the poorer floatability of fine kaolinite.展开更多

Based on the natural dropping dust ζ potential and the mass percentage of main mineral compositions in dust fall, we present two models (calculation method and hybrid method) for the zeta potential of atmospheric dust fall in pure water. The results illustrated that the natural dropping dust in Maiji town belongs to inhalable particles. The main mineral compositions and contents of the dust are quartz (57.08%), calcite (27.79%), albite (10.29%), muscovite (4.84%). Atmospheric dust fall in pure water is electronegativity and ζ potential decreased with increasing pH. There are some differences exist in the two modeling ways, but have a similar tendency. The zeta potential differences between natural dropping dust and modeling dust reflects the zeta potential contribution rate of main mineral particles in dust and the effect of trace polarity organic pollutants or other minerals.展开更多

The Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining is a difficult development and utilization of low-grade diatomaceous earth, which has not been effective utilized due to low economic value of traditional processes. The objectives of this paper are utilizing high organic matter content diatomite as waste resources and improving the comprehensive utilization ratio of mineral resources in Xianfeng coal mining areas. The high organic content diatomaceous earth was purified by the acid washing and then calcinations under N2 as a protective atmosphere and high temperature of 500 to 800 ℃. The organic matter was carbonized with the formation of amorphous complex of activated carbon and diatomaceous earth. The novel ternary composited diatomaceous earth was prepared by combining carbonation diatomaceous earth and magnetic nanomaterials. The absorption property of ternary composited diatomaceous earth was improved through the organosilane and polyacrylamide modification to meet the needs of practical application. Electron microscopy showed that magnetic precursor calcined under N2 as a protective atmosphere, the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles were coated with amorphous carbon, which improved chemical stability and compatibility with diatomaceous earth. The magnetic nanoparticles and amorphous activated carbon uniformly dispersed in a diatomaceous earth surface and within the pores, to form a stable magnetic nanoparticles - the amorphous active carbon - ternary complexes. The specific surface area and methylene blue adsorption test showed ternary composited diatomaceous earth performing much higher than conventional diatomite products, the novel diatomaceous earth with specific surface area of 55.79 m2/g, methylene blue adsorption capacity of 44.5 m2/g. MgFe2O4 and Co3O4-based superparamagnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth as an unique adsorbent has great application potential in organic pollutants and heavy metals pollution treatment of water. In addition, the CoFe2O4 based soft magnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth has potential applications in magnetic plastics, rubber functional filler fields. This study shows that the proposed technology is conducive to a substantial increasing economic value of the Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining, has a broad industrial application prospects.展开更多

The result showed that ANI monomer was intercalated into the spacing of CGO, and the CGO was well exfoliated into nanosheets while polymerization. Owing to π–π electron stacking effect between the PANI and the GOs, the electrical conductivity of GOs/PANI nanocomposites (0.47 S/cm), which basing on PANI as a matrix, improved in comparison with pure PANI nanowires (0.02 S/cm) and GO (2.5×10-5 S/cm), while the electrical conductivity of PANI/GOs nanocomposites, which basing on GOs as a matrix, was only 6.2×10-3 S/cm. And it also indicated that the mole ratio of APS, the concentration of HCl, other with the polymerization time, are also important influencing factors of the conductivity of nanocomposites.展开更多

The TiO2/montmorillonite composite samples were got after calculated at 700℃ and 1100 ℃. The results show that: when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g, the c axis of hydrated-titanium-oxide/ montmorillonite composite sample began to disorder, moreover, the crystal size of anatase is just 13.4nm in the TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample calculated at 700 ℃, and after calculated at 1100 ℃, the crystal size of anatase is 55.8 nm, and the relative content of anatase reaches the highest (55.7%). Compared with pure TiO2 nano-particle sample, TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample has a higher phase transition temperature from anatase phase to rutile phase and smaller crystal size of TiO2. Montmorillonite structure layer has a significant blocking effect on TiO2 phase transformation and grain growth, and the blocking effect reaches saturation when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g.展开更多

Effects of the crystallization temperature (850–1100 ℃) on crystallization behavior, microstructure, sintering character and chemical stability of the glass-ceramics samples were analyzed by means of DTA, XRD, SEM and other analytical methods. The results show that the main crystalline phase of as-prepared glass-ceramics after crystallization treatment is gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7). The species of crystalline phases keep the same, however, the main crystalline intensity, line shrinkage rate and bulk density increase first then decrease with the increasing of heat treatment temperature. Water absorption of the samples was reduced as the heat treatment temperature rising. The glass-ceramics display high performance crystallization properties and chemical stability. The optimized glass-ceramics with desired sintering character and chemical stability was obtained by crystallized at 1050 ℃.展开更多

The results showed that, there were significant difference in the cell death rate and extracellular LDH activity compared with the control group, and appeared a good linear relationship in certain concentration range. All mineral particle tested can induce the increase of TNF-α after incubation with mineral powders at 200 μg/mL for 3h merely, and significant increase of IL-6 for 24h, the results indicated the inflammatory reaction can be triggered by the exposure of KWC-Q4, KWC-Q3, Nano-SiO2, and KWC-M. The micronucleus test result showed the MNF (Micronucleus frequency) listed as Nano-SiO2>KWC-Q3>KWC-Q4. There is no significant increase of KWC-M compared with the control group, maybe resulted from its high cell death rate at low concentration. The comet assay confirmed the genotoxicity of all samples tested, the DNA damage: KWC-M > Nano-SiO2 > KWC-Q4 > KWC-Q3.展开更多

文摘Effectively separating bastnaesite from calcium-bearing gangue minerals(particularly calcite)presents a formidable challenge,making the development of efficient collectors crucial.To achieve this,we have designed and synthesized a novel,highly efficient,water-soluble cationic collector,N-dodecylisopropanolamine(NDIA),for use in the bastnaesite-calcite flotation process.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations identified the amine nitrogen atom in NDIA as the site most susceptible to electrophilic attack and electron loss.By introducing an OH group into the traditional collector dodecylamine(DDA)structure,NDIA provided additional adsorption sites,enabling synergistic adsorption on the surface of bastnaesite,thereby significantly enhancing both the floatability and selectivity of these minerals.The recovery of bastnaesite was 76.02%,while the calcite was 1.26%.The NDIA markedly affected the zeta potential of bastnaesite,while its impact on calcite was relatively minor.Detailed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)results elucidated that the―NH―and―OH groups in NDIA anchored onto the bastnaesite surface through robust electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions,thereby enhancing bastnaesite's affinity for NDIA.Furthermore,in situ atomic force microscopy(AFM)provided conclusive evidence of NDIA aggregation on the bastnaesite surface,improving contact angle and hydrophobicity,and significantly boosting the flotation recovery of bastnaesite.

文摘To address the hazardous by-product of zinc smelting and resource utilization of jarosite residue,this study applies an electric field-assisted hot acid treatment to completely recycle iron(Fe).This innovative approach aims to enhance the leaching efficiency of Fe from jarosite residue.The introduction of an electric field changes the charge distribution on the surface of the particles to enhance ions and electrons exchange and promotes the collision between particles to strengthen reaction kinetics.Based on the above,the leaching efficiency of Fe in jarosite under sulfuric acid attack has improved observably.The result shows that Fe leaching efficiency reaches 98.83%,which is increased by 28%under the optimal experimental conditions:current density of 30 mA·cm^(-2),H_(2)SO_(4) concentration of 1.5 mol·L^(-1),solid-liquid ratio of 70 g·L^(-1),temperature of 80℃ and time of 12 h.Leaching kinetics calculations show that the apparent activation energy is 16.97 kJ·mol^(-1) and the leaching of jarosite residue is controlled by a mixture of chemical reaction and diffusion,as well as the temperature and concentration of the leaching solution have an influence on leaching.This work provides a feasible idea for the efficient leaching of Fe from jarosite residue.

文摘Powder quartz(PQ)/nano-TiO2composite was prepared by a mechanochemical method. Based on as-prepared PQ/nano-TiO2composite, we prepared interior paints and investigated the degradation efficiency of formaldehyde(DEF). Scanning electron microscopy showed that nano-TiO2got well dispersed by the adding of PQ. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the mass ratio of 4:1 was a relatively good proportion for the most production of PQ/nano-TiO2composite. Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry showed that the peak position of Ti-O-Si bond varied with the milling time. At the early stage, no characteristic peak of Ti-O-Si bond was observed, while at the later stage, new peaks at 902 cm-1and 937 cm-1appeared. Meanwhile, PQ/nano-TiO2composite-based interior paint exhibited significant DEF of 96.3% compared to that consisting of sole nanoTiO2of 92.0% under visible light illumination. As an abundant mineral resource, PQ would make interior paints with HCHO purifying effect much more efficient and cheaper.

文摘Porous ceramics were prepared with spodumene flotation talings(SFT),kaolin and low-melting point glass(LPG)powder,whose pores were formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)).LPG was used to reduce the sintering temperature of porous ceramics and kaolin was used to realize the adsorption to methylene blue(MB)of porous ceramics.The average flexural strength,compressive strength,apparent porosity,water absorption and maximum MB adsorption capacity were 5.60 MPa,4.66 MPa,52.27%,44.32%and 0.7 mg/g,respectively.Moreover,the results of orthogonal experiments present that the sintering temperature and the dosage of H_(2)O_(2)had great influence on the mechanical properties and apparent porosity of porous ceramics,respectively.The main reason for the improvement of mechanical properties of porous ceramics was that LPG gradually became soft with increasing the sintering temperature,which made the mineral particles adhere to each other closely.Kaolinite was not completely converted into metakaolin at 550℃,which might be the main reason why porous ceramics had adsorption properties.

文摘In this study,ceramics was prepared by slip casting(no pressure was used during shaping step)and atmospheric pressure sintering with low-melting point glass(LPG)powder as the binding material to facilitate the transformation of spodumene flotation tailings(SFTs)into ceramics at lower temperatures.The influence of sintering temperature and mass ratio of LPG on the mechanical properties(flexural strength and compressive strength)of ceramic materials was studied by orthogonal test.The results showed that when the mass ratio of LPG powder was higher than or equal to 20 wt%and the sintering temperature was higher than or equal to 550℃,mutual adhesion between the sample particles was realised and consequently the ceramic materials could be prepared with good mechanical properties(the maximum flexural strength=19.55 MPa,the maximum compressive strength=42.25 MPa,average porosity=24.52%,average apparent density=1.66 g/cm^(3),and average water absorption=14.79%).The sintered ceramics were characterized by XRF,XRD,optical microscopy analysis,SEM,TGA-DSC and FT-IR.The formation of liquid phase at high temperature may lead to the mutual bonding between particles,which might be the main reason for the improvement of mechanical properties of ceramic materials.Overall,SFTs were successfully sintered at low temperature to prepare ceramic materials with good mechanical properties,which are crucial for energy conservation and environmental preservation.

文摘Phosphorus(P) species in surface sediments from a shallow,hypertrophic lake,Lake Dianchi,China,were investigated by P fractionation and ^(31)P nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy during a regional algal bloom.In addition,their potential contributions to the overlying water were also evaluated.Labile fractions of P extracted by NH_4C1,bicarbonate dithionite and NaOH ranged from 340.6 to 1,725.8 mg kg^(-1),accounting for20.5%-67.2%of the total P.A two-step extraction method refinement of P recovery was performed before the^(31)P NMR analysis.Recovery rates of sedimentary TP and organic P,by combining EDTA pretreatment and NaOH or mixed reagents,ranged from 31.8%to 69.3%and from19.8%to 51.7%.^(31)P NMR results showed that ortho-P and monoester-P were the most abundant P components in the sediment extractable P of sediments,followed by diester-P and pyro-P.Spatial distribution of the sum of ortho-P,diester-P and pyro-P detected by P NMR corresponded well with the labile P concentration determined by fractionation.Both exhibited a significant positive correlation with the total P in the water column,suggesting that internal loading may be an important source of P for the lake ecosystem.Biogenic P other than ortho-P may contribute to phytoplankton growth,with the relative proportion being 4.4%-18.7%.The release of labile P fractions fueled algal bloom,and the decay of organic matter,following the bloom events,consumed oxygen and elevated the pH value.This co-dependence might lead to a vicious cycle.Transformation mechanisms of various P species remain ambiguous and are worthy of further investigation.

文摘The flotation behaviors of decyltrimethylammonium (103C), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) on kaolinite of different particle size fraction were studied. The adsorbed amount and adsorption isotherms of collectors on kaolinite were determined for painstaking investigation into the adsorption of quaternary amines at kaolinite-water interface by ultraviolet spectrophotometer methods. The flotation results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite of different particle fraction increases with an increase in pH when 103C, DTAC, TTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. Particle size of kaolinite has a strong effect on flotation. The flotation recovery of fine kaolinite decreases with the carbon chain of quaternary ammonium salts collectors increasing, while coarse kaolinite is on the contrary. The adsorbed amount tests and adsorption isotherms show that adsorbed amount increases when the particle size of kaolinite increases or when the carbon chain length of quaternary ammonium salts increases. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, the longer the hydrocarbon chain, the more probable to be absolutely adsorbed by fine kaolinite particles and then the lower the collector concentration in the bulk, which leds to lower flotation recovery.

文摘In this study, the Al13-oxalate gel synthesized from Al13 solution was characterized by XRD, FTIR and MAS 27Al NMR. The results are: 1) the gel shows obvious XRD diffraction peaks, which is different from common Al gels and their oxalate precipitations; 2) the peak of Al-O stretch vibration of Al13-oxalate complexes at 810 cm-1 indicates that the gel was formed directly by the complexes, and the characteristic peaks of IR and solid-state NMR respectively occur at 725 cm-1 and ～6.1×10-5 chemical shift, which are respectively assigned to (Al-O)Td vibration and (Al-O)4 tetrahedron, suggesting that the gel has a unique Keggin structure; 3) Al13 polyoxocation can directly form gel with oxalate, even in a high-pH environment (=7.8). This finding provides new evidence for the universality of Al13 in natural environments. Through chemical analysis, the chemical formula of the gel was determined to be AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12(C2O4)7/2.

文摘Rare earth element is an important strategic metal,but the supply of high purity rare earth ores is growing slowly,which is in sharp contradiction with the rapidly growing demand.Froth flotation has been confirmed to be an effective method to separate bastnaesite from its gangue minerls.However,the traditional collectors are facing serious problems in flotation separation of minerals,requiring the addition of excess depressant and regulator in the flotation process.Herein,we proposed and synthesized novel Gemini hydroxamic acids Octyl-bishydroxamic acid(OTBHA),Decyl-bishydroxamic acid(DCBHA)and Dodecyl-bishydroxamic acid(DDBHA)as the collectors in bastnaesite-barite flotation system.The effect of different carbon chain lengths on the molecular properties were explored by density functional theory(DFT)calculations.DCBHA possessed a stronger reactivity compared with OCBHA and DDBHA.The flotation results verified the consistency of the computational calculation about the performance prediction of Gemini hydroxamic acids.Compared with OCBHA and DDBHA,DCBHA displayed superior collecting affinity toward bastnaesite,and did not float barite.Zeta potential results showed that the presence of DCBHA increased the potential of bastnaesite,while it had almost no effect on barite,indicating DCBHA had a stronger affinity for bastnaesite.Then,Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyses indicated that the adsorption mechanism was due to two hydroxamate groups of DCBHA co-anchored on bastnaesite surface by forming five-membered hydroxamic―(O―O)―Ce complexes.In addition,atomic force microscopy(AFM)clearly observed that DCBHA uniformly aggregated on bastnaesite surface,which increased surface contact angle and improved the hydrophobicity of bastnaesite.

文摘The hydrothermal method was used to prepare MoS2 photocatalyst with the raw materials of MoO3 and KSCN, and the prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The catalytic performance of MoS2 photocatalyst obtained at different reaction temperatures was studied, meanwhile the effects of different concentrations and different pH on degradation rate of methylene blue(MB) were investigated. The results show that those prepared photocatalyst samples are of nanometer scale, which exhibits better photocatalytic activity. When preparing MoS2 photocatalyst, the higher temperature of the hydrothermal reaction, the greater the photocatalytic performance will be, and the crystallinity can be higher as well. As for degrading MB, the higher the concentration of MB is, the worse the degradation effect will be. The prepared photocatalyst was observed to show better degrading performance for MB solution under acidic condition, when pH was taken into consideration.

文摘Electrolytic manganese residue leachate(EMRL)contains plenty of Mn^(2+) and NH_(4)^(+)-N,and phosphogypsum leachate(PGL)contains large amounts of PO_(4)^(3-)-P and F^(-).Traditional methods of EMRL and PGL discharge could seriously damage the ecological environment.In this study,an innovative method for cooperative removal Mn^(2+),NH_(4)^(+)-N,PO_(4)^(3-)-P,F^(-)from PG and POFT was studied.The result showed that Mn^(2+),PO_(4)^(3-)-P and F^(-)were mainly removed in forms of Mg_(3)Si_(4)O_(10)(OH)_(2),Mn_(3)O_(4),Mn_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),Mg_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),CaSO_(4)·2H_(2)O,MnF_(2),MnOOH and Ca_(2)P_(2)O_(7)·2H_(2)O,when LG-MgO was used to adjust the pH value of the system to 9.5,and the volume ratio of EMRL and PGL was 1:4,as well as reaction for 1 h at 25℃.NH_(4)^(+)-N was mainly removed by struvite precipitate,when the molar ratio of N:Mg:P was 1:3:2.4.The concentrations of Mn^(2+),NH_(4)^(+)-N and F^(-)were lower than the integrated wastewater discharge standard.The concentration of PO_(4)^(3-)-P decreased from 254.20 mg/L to 3.21 mg/L.This study provided a new method for EMRL and PGL cooperative harmless treatment.

文摘Aluminum organic coprecipitates play important roles in the transport of oxyanions in soil environment.A new polynuclear aluminum organomineral precipitate(Al13-oxalate precipitate) was prepared to investigate the adsorption behavior of arsenate and phosphate on noncrystalline aluminum precipitates.Important thermodynamic parameters for adsorption reaction were evaluated using macroscopic adsorption data and equations.The result showed that,the adsorption reaction basically is a diffusion process.FTIR spectroscopic studies have provided evidence for the formation of two different types of complexes in substrate,protonated bidentate and deprotonated bidentate complexes at pH 4 and pH≥6,respectively.The classic competitive adsorption and XPS studies both indicated that phosphate has stronger chemical interaction with substrate than arsenate.The findings of XPS studies revealed that the precipitate substrate can act as Lewis acid when adsorbing oxyanions.
文摘Effects of particle size and chain length on flotation of quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) onto kaolinite have been investigated by mico-flotation tests. The two kinds of quaternary ammonium salts [RN(CH3)3] with different chain lengths, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) were used as collectors for kaolinite in different particle size fractions (0.075–0.01 mm, 0.045–0.075 mm, 0–0.045 mm). The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite have been further explained based on crystal structure considerations by adsorption tests and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite in all different particle size fractions decreases with an increase in pH when DTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. The longer the carbon chain of QAS is, the higher the recoveries of coarse kaolinite (0.075–0.01 mm and 0.045–0.075 mm) are. But the flotation recovery of the finest kaolinite (0–0.045 mm) decreases with chain lengths of QAS collectors increasing, which is consistent with the flotation results of unsifted kaolinite (0–0.075 mm). It is explained by the froth stability related to the residual concentration of QAS collector. In lower residual concentration, the froth stability becomes worse. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, it's easy of CTAC to be completely adsorbed by kaolinite in the particle size fraction (0–0.045 mm), which led to lower flotation recovery. Moreover, it is interesting that the particle size of kaolinite is coarser, the flotation recovery is higher. The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite is rationalized based on crystal structure considerations. The results of MD simulations show that the (001) kaolinite surface has the strongest interaction with DTAC, compared with the (001), (010) and (110) surfaces. On the other hand, when particle size of kaolinite is altered, the number of basal planes and edge planes is changed. It is observed that the finer kaolinite particles size become, the greater relative surface area of edges is, and the more the number of edges is. It means that fine kaolinite particles have more edges to adsorb less cationic colletors than that of coarse kaolinite particles, which is responsible for the poorer floatability of fine kaolinite.
文摘In order to know the particle size distribution and mineral compositions of dust in Maiji town, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, size distribution and physical compositions of atmosphere natural dropping dust have been analyzed. Based on the natural dropping dust ζ potential and the mass percentage of main mineral compositions in dust fall, we present two models (calculation method and hybrid method) for the zeta potential of atmospheric dust fall in pure water. The results illustrated that the natural dropping dust in Maiji town belongs to inhalable particles. The main mineral compositions and contents of the dust are quartz (57.08%), calcite (27.79%), albite (10.29%), muscovite (4.84%). Atmospheric dust fall in pure water is electronegativity and ζ potential decreased with increasing pH. There are some differences exist in the two modeling ways, but have a similar tendency. The zeta potential differences between natural dropping dust and modeling dust reflects the zeta potential contribution rate of main mineral particles in dust and the effect of trace polarity organic pollutants or other minerals.

文摘Xianfeng large-scale lignite mining area, symbiotic diatomaceous earth mining area is the second largest diatomaceous earth mining in China with high organic matter content. The Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining is a difficult development and utilization of low-grade diatomaceous earth, which has not been effective utilized due to low economic value of traditional processes. The objectives of this paper are utilizing high organic matter content diatomite as waste resources and improving the comprehensive utilization ratio of mineral resources in Xianfeng coal mining areas. The high organic content diatomaceous earth was purified by the acid washing and then calcinations under N2 as a protective atmosphere and high temperature of 500 to 800 ℃. The organic matter was carbonized with the formation of amorphous complex of activated carbon and diatomaceous earth. The novel ternary composited diatomaceous earth was prepared by combining carbonation diatomaceous earth and magnetic nanomaterials. The absorption property of ternary composited diatomaceous earth was improved through the organosilane and polyacrylamide modification to meet the needs of practical application. Electron microscopy showed that magnetic precursor calcined under N2 as a protective atmosphere, the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles were coated with amorphous carbon, which improved chemical stability and compatibility with diatomaceous earth. The magnetic nanoparticles and amorphous activated carbon uniformly dispersed in a diatomaceous earth surface and within the pores, to form a stable magnetic nanoparticles - the amorphous active carbon - ternary complexes. The specific surface area and methylene blue adsorption test showed ternary composited diatomaceous earth performing much higher than conventional diatomite products, the novel diatomaceous earth with specific surface area of 55.79 m2/g, methylene blue adsorption capacity of 44.5 m2/g. MgFe2O4 and Co3O4-based superparamagnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth as an unique adsorbent has great application potential in organic pollutants and heavy metals pollution treatment of water. In addition, the CoFe2O4 based soft magnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth has potential applications in magnetic plastics, rubber functional filler fields. This study shows that the proposed technology is conducive to a substantial increasing economic value of the Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining, has a broad industrial application prospects.
文摘The novel high-performance nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene oxide sheets (GOs) was synthesized via in situ polymerization in the presence of Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium Bromide intercalated graphite oxide (CGO), basing on PANI and GOs as a matrix respectively. The result showed that ANI monomer was intercalated into the spacing of CGO, and the CGO was well exfoliated into nanosheets while polymerization. Owing to π–π electron stacking effect between the PANI and the GOs, the electrical conductivity of GOs/PANI nanocomposites (0.47 S/cm), which basing on PANI as a matrix, improved in comparison with pure PANI nanowires (0.02 S/cm) and GO (2.5×10-5 S/cm), while the electrical conductivity of PANI/GOs nanocomposites, which basing on GOs as a matrix, was only 6.2×10-3 S/cm. And it also indicated that the mole ratio of APS, the concentration of HCl, other with the polymerization time, are also important influencing factors of the conductivity of nanocomposites.
文摘The hydrated-titanium-oxide/montmorillonite composite samples were prepared using a hydrolysation- intercalation composite method by controlling the amount of TiOSO4·2H2O. The TiO2/montmorillonite composite samples were got after calculated at 700℃ and 1100 ℃. The results show that: when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g, the c axis of hydrated-titanium-oxide/ montmorillonite composite sample began to disorder, moreover, the crystal size of anatase is just 13.4nm in the TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample calculated at 700 ℃, and after calculated at 1100 ℃, the crystal size of anatase is 55.8 nm, and the relative content of anatase reaches the highest (55.7%). Compared with pure TiO2 nano-particle sample, TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample has a higher phase transition temperature from anatase phase to rutile phase and smaller crystal size of TiO2. Montmorillonite structure layer has a significant blocking effect on TiO2 phase transformation and grain growth, and the blocking effect reaches saturation when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g.
文摘The glass-ceramics was prepared from coal fly ash, limestone and Na2CO3 by sintering processes. Effects of the crystallization temperature (850–1100 ℃) on crystallization behavior, microstructure, sintering character and chemical stability of the glass-ceramics samples were analyzed by means of DTA, XRD, SEM and other analytical methods. The results show that the main crystalline phase of as-prepared glass-ceramics after crystallization treatment is gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7). The species of crystalline phases keep the same, however, the main crystalline intensity, line shrinkage rate and bulk density increase first then decrease with the increasing of heat treatment temperature. Water absorption of the samples was reduced as the heat treatment temperature rising. The glass-ceramics display high performance crystallization properties and chemical stability. The optimized glass-ceramics with desired sintering character and chemical stability was obtained by crystallized at 1050 ℃.
文摘In this study A549 cell viability, extracellular activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–α and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were investgated after incubation with quartz (KWC-Q4 and KWC-Q3), Nano-SiO2, and KWC-M, the micronucleaus test and comet assay was carried out to evaluate the genotoxicity. The results showed that, there were significant difference in the cell death rate and extracellular LDH activity compared with the control group, and appeared a good linear relationship in certain concentration range. All mineral particle tested can induce the increase of TNF-α after incubation with mineral powders at 200 μg/mL for 3h merely, and significant increase of IL-6 for 24h, the results indicated the inflammatory reaction can be triggered by the exposure of KWC-Q4, KWC-Q3, Nano-SiO2, and KWC-M. The micronucleus test result showed the MNF (Micronucleus frequency) listed as Nano-SiO2>KWC-Q3>KWC-Q4. There is no significant increase of KWC-M compared with the control group, maybe resulted from its high cell death rate at low concentration. The comet assay confirmed the genotoxicity of all samples tested, the DNA damage: KWC-M > Nano-SiO2 > KWC-Q4 > KWC-Q3.
