Characterization of chromate conversion coating on AA7075‐T6 aluminum alloy

Chromate conversion coatings (CCCs) on AA7075‐T6 were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, focused ion beam sectioning and scanning transmission electron microscopy with nano‐electron dispersive spectroscopy line profiling. The thickness and composition of the CCC was different at different locations on the heterogeneous microstructure of AA7075‐T6. The coating formed on the matrix phase was much thicker than that formed on the coarse Al–Cu–Mg, Al–Fe–Cu and Mg–Si intermetallic particles. Nano‐electron dispersive spectroscopy line profiling indicated that the coating on the Al–Fe–Cu particles was similar to the CCC formed on the phase matrix, primarily a chromium oxide. However, the coatings on the Al–Cu–Mg and Mg–Si particles were mixed Al/Mg/Cr oxide and Mg oxide, respectively. The growth of CCC followed a linear‐logarithmic kinetic rate law. The observations of this study support the sol‐gel model of CCC formation. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of arsenic sorbent by the reaction of magnesium hydroxide with aqueous iron(III) chloride solution

The reaction of magnesium hydroxide with a concentrated aqueous solution of iron(III) chloride yields a mixture of magnesium–iron layered double hydroxide and iron oxide–hydroxide in the akaganeite form. The content of these phases depends on the Mg/Fe atomic ratio in the starting reactant mixture. Iron oxide–hydroxide is the major reaction product at the Mg/Fe atomic ratio in the interval 1.5–1.75, and layered magnesium–iron layered double hydroxide, at Mg/Fe = 3–4. The ability of the synthesized products to take up As(III) from aqueous solutions was studied. These sorbents allow the arsenic concentration to be decreased from 3–5 mg L^–1 to values below MPC (0.01 mg L^–1).     

Creating mixed Fe/Al coatings on planar gamma-Al2O3 surfaces

Insufficient understanding of the interactions of reactive phases (e.g., Fe and Al oxides) with minerals, other reactive phases and sorbing species has made predicting and modeling metal sorption on natural sediment surfaces difficult. This work develops a method to create mixed Fe/Al planar oxide surfaces by coating well-characterized planar gamma-Al2O3 with ferric iron. The objective is to closely control the Fe/Al ratio as well as the distribution of Fe on the planar surface. Effects of starting Fe(III) concentration, reaction time and number of coating sequences were examined using XPS and ToF-SIMS. No observable trend was seen in Fe/Al ratios by varying the starting Fe(III) concentration or reaction time. For both 4- and 14-day reactions, lower concentrations of Fe(III) produced oxide phases with a homogeneous distribution of Fe at the surface as detected by ToF-SIMS. ToF-SIMS Fe elemental maps of the oxide phases resulting from the highest Fe(III) concentration showed areas of localized Fe deposition. A sequential coating procedure allowed for a closer control of the concentration and spatial distribution of Fe(III) in the resulting oxide phase. This work provides methodology that can be used to create Fe/Al oxide phases whose Fe/Al content can be controlled for use in subsequent sorption studies to better understand the effects of mixed phase oxides on metal ion uptake.     

Some aspects of "chemical" interferences in atomic-absorption spectroscopy

Studies on the mutual chemical interferences in the atomic-absorption spectroscopy of Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr, Ti, Zr, Hf, Fe, as simple salts and metallocenes, show that the results can be interpreted in terms of formation of mixed oxides of two elements, non-volatility of the mixed oxide compound, and the crystal structure of the mixed oxide compound.     

Solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for analysis of high-purity tungsten trioxide and high-purity tungsten blue oxide

A solid sampling ETAAS method for the direct determination of Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni and Zn in high-purity tungsten trioxide and tungsten blue oxide powders using a modern spectrometer with transversely heated graphite tube and a solid sampling system is described. The extremely high background caused by the vaporizing tungsten oxides could be eliminated by the reduction to tungsten metal using hydrogen as purge gas during pyrolysis. Quantification of all elements was performed using calibration curves measured with aqueous standard solutions. The analyte contents determined were between 0.033 (Cu) and 12.6 (Fe) μg/g for tungsten trioxide and between 0.001 (Co) and 0.5 (Na) μg/g for tungsten blue oxide. The accuracy was checked by comparing the results with those obtained by ETAAS in analysis of HF/HNO₃ sample digests and by other methods. Extremely low limits of detection being between 0.07 (Mg, Na, Zn) - 2 (Ni) and 0.01 (Mg, Na, Ni) - 1.7 (Fe) ng/g for tungsten trioxide and tungsten blue oxide, respectively, could be achieved due to almost complete freedom of blank and unusually high applicable sample amounts (5–15 mg for tungsten trioxide and 5–70 mg for tungsten blue oxide).     

A complementary and synergistic effect of Fe-Zn binary metal oxide in the process of high-temperature fuel gas desulfurization

57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy was used to investigate the evolution of Fe-Zn binary metal oxide sorbent in the process of high-temperature fuel gas desulfurization. The results of phase analyses show that Fe-Zn binary metal oxide sorbent is rapidly reduced in hot fuel gas and decomposed to new phases of highly dispersed microcrystalline elemental iron and zinc oxide, both of which become the active desulfurization constituents. A complementary and synergistic effect between active iron acting as a high sulfur capacity constituent and active zinc oxide acting as a deep refining desulfurization constituent exists in this type of sorbent for hot fuel gas desulfurization.     

Determination of impurities in nuclear fuel element components by neutron activation analysis

Neutron activation analysis methods for the determination of impurities in zirconium cladding material and uranium oxide are described. Detection limits for the elements Al, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Hf, Fe, Mn, Ni, W and U in zirconium are below that required by the ASTM B 352-79 standard. The method has been tested on the NIST SRM 360a Zircaloy-2 from which the elements Na, Mg, Al, Ca, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Eu and U have been detected. The values for Cr, Fe, Ni and Cu are compared with the certified values. A method for the pre-irradiation separation of the elements Mg, Na, Al, K, Sc, Ca, V, Mn, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Rb, Zr, Cd, Cs, REE and Hf from uranium has been developed. A neutron activation analysis method for the determination of those elements in uranium is described. The method is tested by the analysis of the IAEA reference sample SR-54/64. The elements Al, Mn, V, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni and Fe have been detected and the results compared with the certified values.     

Surface and bulk cation distribution of the spinel system ZnxMg1−xFe2O4

Zn_xMg_1-xFe₂O₄ mixed oxide spinels (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. Bulk and surface characterization of these ferrites were carried out by different techniques. The ratios Zn/Fe and Mg/Fe determined by PIXE and AAS were nearly as expected from the synthesis mixture, i.e. following the substitution model. XRD shows only a spinel structure (fcc) with increasing lattice parameter as x increases from 0 to 1. The bulk ratios of tetrahedral to octahedral sites occupied by Fe cations measured by NGR are in good agreement with the theoretical bulk stoichiometry. LEIS results indicate a Mg substitution by Fe cations at the surface. Only octahedral sites are proposed at the surface. The transition from inverse to normal spinel was follow through NGR-spectra occurring at x=0.4.     

Synthesis of Ni／Mg／Al Layered Double Hydroxides and Their Use as Catalyst Precursors in the Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes

Ni/Mg/Al layered double hydroxides(LDHs) with different n(Ni) : n(Mg) : n(Al) ratio values were prepared via a coprecipitation reaction. Then Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxides were obtained by calcination of these LDHs precursors. Carbon nanotubes were produced in the catalytic decomposition of propane over the Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxide catalysts. The quality of as-made nanotubes was investigated by SEM and TEM. The nanotubes were multiwall with a high length-diameter ratio and appeared to be flexible. The catalytic activities of these mixed oxides increased with increasing the Ni content. The Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxide with the highest Ni content [ n( Ni)/n( Mg)/n(Al) = 1/1/1 ] showed the highest activity and the carbon nanotubes grown on its surface had the best quality.

铁氧体吸附剂的穆斯堡尔谱解析及其反应吸附脱硫性能(英文)

运输燃料中的含硫化合物依然是空气污染的主要源头.随着人们环保意识日益增强,世界各国对燃料油标准特别是硫含量提出了越来越严格的要求.为了应对燃料油的无硫化趋势,探索新型脱硫技术去除油品中的含硫化合物成为研究热点.吸附脱硫技术(ADS)能够选择性地脱除汽油中的含硫化合物,而不影响其中的烯烃含量,从而避免了加氢精制过程中烯烃饱和导致的辛烷值降低问题,成为目前成熟的清洁油品生产技术本文采用微波辅助燃烧技术,将一定化学计量比的金属硝酸盐和尿素混合物快速燃烧反应,成功合成一系列铁氧体吸附剂(MgFe_2O_4,NiFe_2O_4,CuZnFe_2O_4,ZnFe_2O_4,CoFe_2O_4).以含有噻吩的正庚烷(总含硫量3000 mg/L)为汽油模型,在固定床反应器中500 oC反应条件下探索了所合成铁氧体吸附剂的吸附脱硫性能.结果表明,铁氧体吸附脱硫活性大小为:MgFe_2O_4NiFe_2O_4CuZnFe_2O_4ZnFe_2O_4CoFe_2O_4.其中MgFe_2O_4较其他铁氧体具有更高的吸附脱硫性能.这是由于Mg-Fe合金化程度低,而且掺杂的Mg降低了Fe与S之间的相互作用,从而显著提高了吸附脱硫性能.此外,Mg作为一种典型的碱金属可在一定程度上显著促进噻吩分解.X射线衍射和穆斯堡尔谱作为敏感的结构和组成检测手段,广泛用于解析铁氧体吸附剂在吸附脱硫过程中的结构和相态变化.通过穆斯堡尔谱成功解析了铁氧体中Fe的存在形式及其化合态.对新鲜铁氧体吸附剂、吸附脱硫后的吸附剂以及氧化再生的吸附剂进行监测对比,发现在吸附过程中铁氧体被部分硫化成Fe1-xS和双金属硫化物.在空气中经高温(500 oC)处理可成功实现铁氧体吸附剂再生.本文通过对铁氧体吸附剂的结构解析和性能测试,为新型吸附脱硫剂开发提供了理论依据.     

Effects of Magnesium and Ferric Ions on Crystallization of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate Under the Simulated Conditions of Wet Flue-gas Desulfurization

The influences of magnesium and ferric ions in their different ratios on the rate of gypsum crystallization were studied under the conditions similar to those of wet flue-gas desulfurization（WFGD）. The results show that addition of both Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ increased induction time and decreased the growth efficiency up to 50% compared with the baseline（without impurities） depending on the concentration and the type of impurity. The effects of Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ on the surface energy and the rate of nucleation were estimated by employing the classical nucleation theory. The surface energy decreased by 8% and 14% with the addition of 0.02 mol/L magnesium or ferric ions, respectively, compared to the baseline. Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ made the growth rate of the （020）, （021） and （040） faces of gypsum crystal a much greater reduction, which leads to the formation of needle crystals compared to the baseline which favors the formation of plate or flakes. Furthermore, an edge detection program was developed to quantify the effects of impurities on the filtration rate of gypsum product. The results show that the inhibition efficiency of the presence of 0.02 mol/L Mg^2＋ and Fe^3＋ on the filtration rate of gypsum crystal ranges from 22% to 39%.     

介孔铁铝/蒙脱土复合材料：解离柱撑制备、结构及催化羟基化性能

利用极稀悬浮液中蒙脱土的解离作用并结合柱化技术过程，制备了介孔结构的铝铁/蒙脱土复合材料(Fe-Al/mmt)；并采用粉末X射线衍射、氮等温吸脱附、傅立叶红外光谱、紫外可见光漫反射光谱及苯酚催化羟基化反应表征了其结构和性能。结果显示，铁铝聚合前驱液中铁/铝比影响复合材料中蒙脱土的解离程度，且仅当低铁/铝比时(即Fe/(Fe+Al)物质的量的比介于0.05～0.3)，嵌入解离的蒙脱土片层间的混合铁铝物种呈现能耐温350 ℃的热稳定性；氮等温吸脱附分析反映出这种解离的蒙脱土堆积结构呈现介孔特征，孔径分布窄，介于2.0～2.3 nm；红外分析表明材料表面具有L酸和B酸位，并且L酸位量与嵌入解离的蒙脱土结构中的混合铁铝物种相关；由于结构中混合铁铝物种的存在及相应的Si-O → Fe、Al-O → Fe间的电子跃迁，Fe-Al/mmt材料在紫外区呈现宽泛的能量吸收特征。这些结果说明，由于混合铁铝物种嵌入于解离的蒙脱土片层堆积结构中，形成了“卡片屋”式介孔结构。实验条件下，Fe/(Fe+Al)物质的量的比为0.3的Fe-Al/mmt呈现较佳的催化羟基化性能，苯酚转化率为36.7%，二酚产物选择性32.3%；并且初步表明铝掺杂后，通过铁铝比和表面酸性的调整，材料的部分选择氧化性能可以得到改善。     

镁助剂改性Pd/Al_2O_3甲烷催化燃烧催化剂:Mg/Al物质的量比对催化剂载体及活性物种形成的影响

本文研究了系列不同含量镁助剂改性的Pd/Al_2O_3催化剂的甲烷催化燃烧反应。研究表明,随着镁添加量的增加,载体由Al_2O_3转变为尖晶石型MgAl_2O_4,进一步增加Mg/Al物质的量比至3∶1时,形成了Mg(Al)O_x固溶体;催化剂中活性相Pd物种以金属Pd,PdO_x或Pd-载体复合氧化物形式存在,各物种的相对含量以及Pd?PdO间的转化能力存在一定的差异。PdO_x物种表现为具有较高的低温活性,而金属Pd和Pd-载体复合氧化物的高温活性较好。当Mg/Al物质的量比为1∶3时,催化剂的Pd?PdO转化能力最强,表现出了最高的甲烷催化燃烧反应活性。     

高血压患者血清中八种金属元素的

通过对48名高血压患者和52名正常健康人进行血清中八种金属元素的检测,探讨了人体必需金属元素的含量变化是否与患高血压疾病有直接的关系。采用离心分离的方法处理样品,用火焰原子吸收分光光度法检测样品中钙、镁、钾、钠、锌、铜、铁和锰的水平含量。结果表明,患高血压组血清Na、Mg、Zn、Fe、Mn的水平含量均高于健康对照组,其中Na、Mn两组间比较差异显著（P＜0．05）,Zn、Fe两组间比较差异非常显著（P＜0．01）,Mg两组间比较差异无显著性（P＞0.05);患高血压组血清Na／K比值均高于健康对照组,Ca/Mg、Cu/Zn比值均低于健康对照组。检测的八种金属元素在人体内的含量多少与患高血压疾病有一定的关系。提示适当增补体内的Ca、K、Cu和Mg含量,减少Na的过多摄入,科学控制Zn、Fe、Mn的增加,注意体内Na/K、Ca/Mg和Cu/Zn比值的平衡关系,降低Na/K比,提高Cu/Zn比,补Ca的同时一定要注意适当补充Mg,保持体内各元素间的相互依赖关系,有利于高血压病的预防和治疗。     

Adsorption of phosphate from seawater on calcined MgMn-layered double hydroxides

Adsorptive properties of MgMn-3-300 (MgMn-type layered double hydroxide with Mg/Mn mole ratio of 3, calcined at 300 degrees C) for phosphate were investigated in phosphate-enriched seawater with a concentration of 0.30 mg-P/dm3. It showed the highest phosphate uptake from the seawater among the inorganic adsorbents studied (hydrotalcite, calcined hydrotalcite, activated magnesia, hydrous aluminum oxide, manganese oxide (delta-MnO2)). The phosphate uptake by MgMn-3-300 reached 7.3 mg-P/g at an adsorbent/solution ratio of 0.05 g/2 dm3. The analyses of the uptakes of other constituents (Na+, K+, Ca(+, Cl-, and SO(2-)4) of seawater showed that the adsorbent had a markedly high selectivity for the adsorption of phosphate ions. Effects of initial phosphate concentration, temperature, pH, and salinity on phosphate uptake were investigated in detail by a batch method. The phosphate uptake increased slightly with an increase in the adsorption temperature. The adsorption isotherm followed Freundlich's equation with constants of logK(F)=1.25 and 1/n=0.65, indicating that it could effectively remove phosphate even from a solution of markedly low phosphate concentration as well as with large numbers of coexisting ions. The pH dependence showed a maximum phosphate uptake around pH 8.5. The pH dependence curve suggested that selective phosphate adsorption progresses mainly by the ion exchange of HPO(2-)4. The study on the effect of salinity suggested the presence of two kinds of adsorption sites in the adsorbent: one nonspecific site with weak interaction and one specific site with strong interaction. The effective desorption of phosphate could be achieved using a mixed solution of 5 M NaCl + 0.1 M NaOH (1 M = 1 mol/dm3), with negligible dissolution of adsorbent. The adsorbent had high chemical stability against the adsorption/desorption cycle; it kept a good phosphate uptake even after the repetition of the seventh cycle.     

Metal content in southern Spain wines and their classification according to origin and ageing

Young and aged wines from two viticole zones in the Andalusian province of Córdoba (southern Spain) were analysed for their content in Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and Na, K, Al and Sr by flame atomic emission spectrophotometry. Significant differences in mean content were found for Na, Mn, Mg, Fe and Zn between wines from Montilla–Moriles and Villaviciosa. Linear discriminant analysis using those variables gave 97.9% recognition ability and 95.7% prediction ability. Cluster and principal component analysis show some differences in wines according to geographical origin and to the ageing of wines. Significant differences between young and aged wines were found in the mean content for Mg, K, Sr, Zn and Mn, obtaining 93.62% recognition ability and prediction ability by using linear discriminant analysis and leave-one-out cross-validation test, respectively. Finally, linear discriminant analysis could also be able to classify the samples according to their provenance and to their ageing simultaneously, obtaining 93.6% of the wines correctly classified.
