微氧化烧结制备掺杂Y2O3的SiC陶瓷及含镉模拟废水处理

采用了微氧化烧结制备了不同Y₂O₃质量分数（0%、2%、4%、6%）的多孔SiC陶瓷，通过对陶瓷的晶体结构、微观形貌、物理性能和Cd²⁺的去除率测试发现：添加了Y₂O₃的SiC陶瓷出现了较多的第二相Y₂SiO₇、Y₅Si₃C_0.5，随着Y₂O₃的质量分数增加逐渐升高，主相的衍射峰的强度有降低。扫描电子显微镜测试发现，SiC陶瓷的尺寸在2.5 μm，Y₂O₃引入后，SiC陶瓷的晶粒尺寸降低，高温烧结时液相的含量增加，熔体粘度降低，晶粒结合更加紧密，Y₂O₃的引入提高了多孔陶瓷的体积密度，Y₂O₃质量分数为6%SiC的体积密度最大为2.21 g/cm³。热导率随着Y₂O₃质量分数的增加呈现出先升高后降低的趋势。金属Cd²⁺的过滤测试表明：随着Y₂O₃质量分数增加，Cd²⁺的残留质量浓度、膜通量和去除率先降低后升高，当掺杂质量分数为4%时，Cd²⁺残留质量浓度最低为0.042 mg/L，膜通量达到了最大值572 L/（m²·h），去除率最大为99.95%，相比未掺质量分数杂体系的去除率提高了0.14%。随着溶液pH值的逐渐增大，金属Cd²⁺的残留质量浓度逐渐降低、去除率逐渐升高，pH≥9时最终均趋于稳定。综合来看，多孔SiC陶瓷的助烧剂Y₂O₃最佳掺量为4%。

Investigation of surface and thermogravimetric characteristics of carbon-coated iron nanopowder

Demand for high-density press and sinter components is increasing day by day. Of the different ways to improve the sinter density, the addition of nanopowder to the conventional micrometer-sized metal powder is an effective solution. The present investigation is aimed at studying the surface chemistry of iron nanopowder coated with graphitic carbon, which is intended to be mixed with the conventional iron powder. For this purpose, iron nanopowder in the size range of 30 nm to submicron (less than 1 micron) was investigated using thermogravimetry at different temperatures: 400°C, 600°C, 800°C, 1000°C, and 1350°C. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) were used for characterizing the powder as well as samples sintered at different temperatures. The presence of iron, oxygen, carbon, chromium, and zinc were observed on the surface of the nanopowder. Iron was present in oxide state, although a small metallic iron peak at 707 eV was also observed in the XPS spectra obtained from the surface indicating the oxide scale to be maximum of about 5 nm in thickness. For the sample treated at 600°C, presence of manganese was observed on the surface. Thermogravimetry results showed a two-step mass loss with a total mass loss of 4 wt.% when heated to 1350°C where the first step corresponds to the surface oxide reduction.

(Sm0.5Gd0.2Nd0.3)2(Hf0.3Ce0.7)2O7复合氧化物的热物理性能

为寻求新型热障涂层用陶瓷材料,本文采用高温固相烧结法制备了(Sm_0.5Gd_0.2Nd_0.3)₂(Hf_0.3Ce_0.7)₂O₇复合氧化物。利用XRD分析了其晶体结构,SEM分析其显微组织,膨胀仪测试其热膨胀性能,激光热导仪测试其热扩散系数。结果表明,成功制备了具有单一萤石晶体结构的(Sm_0.5Gd_0.2Nd_0.3)₂(Hf_0.3Ce_0.7)₂O₇复合氧化物。其显微组织结构致密,晶界清晰无其他相存在。由于复杂的元素组成和较大的原子量,其热导率明显低于7YSZ和Sm₂Ce₂O₇。其较低的热膨胀系数则归因于B位离子较小的离子半径,但其热膨胀系数依然满足热障涂层的要求。     

Nitrogen uptake of nickel free austenitic stainless steel powder during heat treatment—an XPS study

In austenitic stainless steel nitrogen stabilizes the austenitic phase, improves the mechanical properties and increases the corrosion resistance. Nitrogen alloying enables to produce austenitic steels without the element nickel which is high priced and classified as allergy inducing. A novel production route is nitrogen alloying of CrMn‐prealloyed steel powder via the gas phase. This is beneficial as the nitrogen content can be adjusted above the amount that is reached during conventional casting. A problem which has to be overcome is the oxide layer present on the powder surface which impedes both the sintering process and the uptake of nitrogen. This study focuses on whether heat treatment under pure nitrogen is an appropriate procedure to enable sintering and nitrogen uptake by reduction of surface oxides. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (EDS) are used to investigate the surface of powdered FeMn19Cr17C0.4N heat treated under nitrogen atmosphere. The analyses showed reduction of iron oxides already at 500 °C leading to oxide‐free metallic surface zones. Mn and Cr oxides are reduced at higher temperatures. Distinct nitrogen uptake was registered, and successful subsequent sintering was reached. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

煤催化气化条件下不同煤种煤灰烧结行为研究

选取9类典型煤种,利用压差法测定烧结温度的实验装置,结合灰渣的XRD分析结果,考察了添加K基碱金属催化剂、不同煤种灰成分对烧结温度的影响。结果表明,碳酸钾催化剂的添加,明显降低高铁钙含量的WJT煤的灰熔点及烧结温度,碱金属K化合物极易同煤中Fe、Ca的矿物质反应生成低温共融物进而加剧煤灰的熔融结渣。不同煤种烧结温度的差异与煤灰中硅、铝、铁、钙含量密切相关。铝、硅含量高的煤灰烧结温度较高,而铁、钙含量高的煤灰烧结温度相对较低。碱金属K催化剂的添加加剧了煤灰的烧结结渣,而钙、铁的存在会加速硅铝酸盐间的反应生成低温共融物进而加速灰熔融。各煤种烧结温度的变化与其灰成分在CaO-SiO₂-Al₂O₃、FeO-SiO₂-Al₂O₃三元相图上的位置相吻合。
