Effect of separators on the self-discharge reaction in nickel-metal hydride batteries

The effects of separators on the self-discharge behavior and the suppression of self-discharge by a sulfonated polyolefin separator were investigated with test cells. The experimental results indicate that a sulfonated polyolefin separator effectively suppresses the self-discharge reaction in nickel-metal hydride batteries. It is also found that a sulfonated polyolefin sheet does not necessarily need to be sandwiched by positive and negative electrodes to act as a separator; it can be placed anywhere within a cell to suppress the self-discharge reaction. The self-discharge reaction is considered to be suppressed by trapping redox shuttle substances, especially nitrogen-containing compounds, by the separator.

Vapor generation – atomic spectrometric techniques. Expanding frontiers through specific-species preconcentration. A review

We review recent progress in preconcentration strategies associated to vapor generation techniques coupled to atomic spectrometric (VGT-AS) for specific chemical species detection. This discussion focuses on the central role of different preconcentration approaches, both before and after VG process. The former was based on the classical solid phase and liquid–liquid extraction procedures which, aided by automation and miniaturization strategies, have strengthened the role of VGT-AS in several research fields including environmental, clinical, and others. We then examine some of the new vapor trapping strategies (atom-trapping, hydride trapping, cryotrapping) that entail improvements in selectivity through interference elimination, but also they allow reaching ultra-low detection limits for a large number of chemical species generated in conventional VG systems, including complete separation of several species of the same element. This review covers more than 100 bibliographic references from 2009 up to date, found in SCOPUS database and in individual searches in specific journals. We finally conclude by giving some outlook on future directions of this field.     

Application experiment and numerical simulation analysis of oil–water separator with two-oriented corrugated coalescence plate

The new structure of two-oriented corrugated plate is developed in an oil–water separator. The surface of the corrugated plate is modified so that one side is provided with a hydrophobic property and the other side is provided with a hydrophilic property. The effect of feed flow rate and composition on the separation efficiency of the separator is analyzed by experiments. A three-dimensional model of the separator is established for simulation by using the fluent software. The separation effect is characterized by the maximum concentration and thickness of the two constituents. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The feed composition and feed flow rate can be worked together in the coalescence process. Both in the experiment and in the simulation, the concentration of the outlet of this polynode separator can reach more than 99% in the treatment of oil-bearing rate from 30% to 60% and inlet flow rate at 800?L/h～2000?L/h, which confirms the high separation efficiency of the device structure. At the same time, it also can be concluded that the lower oil phase concentration is suitable for larger inlet flow, while higher oil phase concentration is more applicable for lower flow rate in the appropriate range.     

Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Cationic Surfactants in Environmental Samples using a Continuous Post-Column Ion-Pair Extraction Detector with a Sandwich Phase Separator

Abstract

A new detection technique is described for the quantitative analysis of cationic surfactants by HPLC via post-column ion-pair formation. A new sandwich type phase separator, as part of the extraction detector, was successfully introduced. The method was used to determine ditallowdimethylammonium chloride (DTDMAC) in various environmental samples. Detection limits of DTDMAC in river water were about 2 μg/1 (60 ng absolute; S/N = 5) and 10 ng/1 (260 pg absolute; S/N = 5), using methyl orange and 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene-2-sulphonate (DAS) as ion-pairing reagents, respectively. The environmental concentration of DTDMAC found on random samples from two Belgian rivers range from 30 to 40 μg/1. The reproducibility of the determination of DTDMAC in river water was 4.2% (RSD) (n = 20).

Research Progress toward Room Temperature Sodium Sulfur Batteries: A Review

Lithium metal batteries have achieved large-scale application, but still have limitations such as poor safety performance and high cost, and limited lithium resources limit the production of lithium batteries. The construction of these devices is also hampered by limited lithium supplies. Therefore, it is particularly important to find alternative metals for lithium replacement. Sodium has the properties of rich in content, low cost and ability to provide high voltage, which makes it an ideal substitute for lithium. Sulfur-based materials have attributes of high energy density, high theoretical specific capacity and are easily oxidized. They may be used as cathodes matched with sodium anodes to form a sodium-sulfur battery. Traditional sodium-sulfur batteries are used at a temperature of about 300 °C. In order to solve problems associated with flammability, explosiveness and energy loss caused by high-temperature use conditions, most research is now focused on the development of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. Regardless of safety performance or energy storage performance, room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries have great potential as next-generation secondary batteries. This article summarizes the working principle and existing problems for room temperature sodium-sulfur battery, and summarizes the methods necessary to solve key scientific problems to improve the comprehensive energy storage performance of sodium-sulfur battery from four aspects: cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator.     

二维材料修饰隔膜抑制锂硫电池穿梭效应策略

锂硫电池具有高理论比容量( 1675 mAh /g) 和高能量密度( 2600 Wh /kg),被认为是极具应用潜力的电池体系,因此被广泛研究和关注。然而硫的导电性差、利用率低以及多硫化物的穿梭效应等问题使得锂硫电池的循环性能不理想。为了克服穿梭效应的影响,近年来很多研究工作集中在功能隔膜的设计制备研究方面,通过修饰的隔膜抑制穿梭效应,提高Li-S电池循环稳定性。本文总结了二维(2D)材料修饰隔膜方面的最新研究进展,并对未来的研究方向提出了思考并进行了展望。     

Performance assessment of an inline horizontal swirl tube cyclone for gas-liquid separation at high pressure

The application of swirl tube cyclone for gas-liquid separation is attractive due to its small size and weight. However, very scarce information on the performance of the swirl tube cyclone especially at high operating pressure emulating actual field condition was published in journals. Performance assessment was usually done at a low operating pressure using either air-water, air-fine particle mixtures or dense gas such as SF6 . This paper fills the existing gaps and reports the initial findings on the performance assessment of a horizontal swirl tube cyclone for gas-liquid separation operating at a flow rate of 5 MMSCFD at 40-60 bar operating pressure.
