甲醇乳化柴油分散特性的研究

利用显微摄像技术及算术统计的方法表征了甲醇乳化柴油分散相-甲醇的平均粒径。研究了甲醇乳化柴油分散相（甲醇）的粒径分布随高速分散器转子转速、乳化时间、乳化剂用量和甲醇的质量分数等参数的变化。结果表明,甲醇乳化柴油分散相的平均粒径随转速、乳化剂用量的增加而减小,但随甲醇含量的增加而增大;当乳化时间为2min和转子转速为5×2800r/min,乳化剂的质量分数为5%和甲醇的质量分数为10%时,甲醇乳化柴油中分散相存在最佳的分散度,其值为16μm。

Analysis of some Elements in Fuel Oil by using Neutron Capture Gamma Ray Spectroscopy

The analysis of some elements in fuel oil was done by using neutron capture gamma ray spectroscopy. The gamma rays emitted after the reaction of (n, γ) from the fuel oil atoms bombarded with the thermal neutrons emitted from a ²⁵²Cf source were investigated in the energy interval 0 … 10 MeV. The impurity elements in the sample were determined.     

Recent Advances in the Use of Black TiO2 for Production of Hydrogen and Other Solar Fuels

Black TiO₂ has emerged as one of the most promising photocatalysts recently discovered. The reason behind its catalytic activity is considered to be due to the presence of defects and Ti³⁺ species at the surface of black TiO₂ nanostructures, which are crucial for its diverse applications. Moreover, disordered/crystalline surface layers and bulk regions have been identified and appear to influence the intrinsic properties of the material. Here, we present the latest studies on the use of black TiO₂ for metal free hydrogen production, as well as for CO₂ photoreduction and N₂ photofixation. After highlighting the structure/property relations, we conclude with some critical questions and suggest further topics of research in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of light absorption in black TiO₂, especially towards solar fuels production.     

Processing of lignocellulosic polymer wastes using microwave irradiation

Lignin and mixed lignocellulosic natural polymer wastes have been accumulated in landfills over the past hundred years. These wastes should be processed to produce added- value chemicals and materials. This mini-review presents a brief literature survey related to state-of-the-art methods developed recently by the world research community to solve the problem of rational conversion of lignocellulosic polymer wastes, including production of hydrogen, synthesis gas, phenols, and monomers. The focus is made on microwave and plasma technologies used for lignocellulosic wastes processing.     

Solution combustion synthesis,energy and environment: Best parameters for better materials

Solution combustion synthesis (SCS) is a worldwide used methodology for the preparation of inorganic ceramic and composite materials with controlled properties for a wide number of applications, from catalysis to photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, from heavy metal removal to sensoristics and electronics. The high versatility and efficiency of this technique have led to the introduction of many variants, which allowed important optimization to the prepared materials. Moreover, its ecofriendly nature encouraged further studies about the use of sustainable precursors for the preparation of nanomaterials for energy and environment, according to the concept of circular economy. On the other hand, the large variety of expressions to define SCS and the often-contradictory definitions of the SCS parameters witnessed a scarce consciousness of the potentiality of this methodology. In this review article, the most important findings about SCS and the selection criteria for its main parameters are critically reviewed, in order to give useful guidelines to those scientists who want to use this methodology for preparing materials with improved or new functional properties. This review aims as well (i) to bring more clarity in the SCS terminology (ii) to increase the awareness of the SCS as a convenient tool for the synthesis of materials and (iii) to propose a new perspective in the SCS, with special attention to the use of ecofriendly procedures. Part of the review is also dedicated to precautions and limitations of this powerful methodology.
