基于冷原子吸收分光光度法的热解析-低温等离子体脱汞技术研究

研究含汞土壤的修复问题,采用热解析和低温等离子体综合技术探究新途径,调整温度、添加剂、时间等因素来判断脱汞效果并探究其不同形态,分析工艺过程废料的内部联系,并对废气处理进行分析实验。结论如下：(1)通过改良技术的BCR连续萃取法,得出研究区汞的形态主要为有机结合态(53%)。之后依次是氧化物结合态(33%)、酸可提取态(8%)、残渣态(6%)。(2)温度对热解析程度影响较大。在500℃以上的热解析条件下,土壤中的汞浓度不足1.5 mg·kg-1。(3)当选用400℃的解析温度时,40 min汞去除总体完成。在低于1 700 mg·kg-1的浓度下,汞去除率随着土壤中的含量的增大而减小。(4)氯化钙对于热解析的促进作用最强,柠檬酸、升华硫也有一定作用,硫化钠对于汞去除形成阻滞。(5)低温等离子体的最佳状态是电源设置电压为22 kV,频率为660 Hz。整个系统的汞去除程度可达近90%。     

激光诱导Ni等离子体特性的研究

以Nd·YAG激光器的二倍频输出作为激发源,获得了激光诱导Ni等离子体的发射光谱,基于发射光谱,对等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度进行了测量,其典型值分别为3 714 K,4.67×1016 cm-3。测量了等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度的空间分布,发现沿垂直于激光传播方向的径向,随到中心点距离的增加,等离子体辐射的强度减小,但线型和线宽不变,表明等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度沿径向均匀分布。沿激光传播方向,随到样品表面距离的增加,等离子体辐射强度、电子激发温度和电子密度先增加后降低,在距样品表面1.5 mm处,达到最大值。采用激光诱导击穿光谱技术进行相关探测时,收集距离样品表面1.5 mm处的发射谱,有利于提高探测灵敏度。     

Variation of gamma radiation shielding properties with incident photon energy and penetration depth for WC/Al composites

In this work, we examined the usefulness of the WC_x/Al_100?x composites (x?=?10, 20, 50, 80 wt. %) for gamma-ray shielding materials. The mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), effective atomic number (Z_eff), electron density (N_e) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) and exposure buildup factor (EBF) for WC_x/Al_100?x composites have been calculated by theoretical approach using XCOM program within the energy range 1?keV–100?GeV, 10 keV–1?GeV, 10 keV–1?GeV and 0.015?MeV–15?MeV, respectively. The results showed that both the values of mass attenuation coefficient and Z_eff of the WC_x/Al_100?x composites tend to increase with the increase of the WC concentration. For the energy region below 3?MeV, the WC₈₀/Al₂₀ composite was found to possess superior gamma-ray shielding effectiveness due to its higher values of both mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number, and lower values of both EABF and EBF values. However, for the energy region above 3?MeV, the EBF and EABF values of the WC/Al composites are directly proportional to their Z_eff values, leading to the lowest EBF and EABF values of the WC₁₀/Al₉₀ composites.     

Tris‐amidoximate uranyl complexes via η2 binding mode coordinated in aqueous solution shown by X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory methods

The present study sheds some light on the long‐standing debate concerning the coordination properties between uranyl ions and the amidoxime ligand, which is a key ingredient for achieving efficient extraction of uranium. Using X‐ray absorption fine structure combined with theoretical simulation methods, the binding mode and bonding nature of a uranyl–amidoxime complex in aqueous solution were determined for the first time. The results show that in a highly concentrated amidoxime solution the preferred binding mode between UO₂²⁺ and the amidoxime ligand is η² coordination with tris‐amidoximate species. In such a uranyl–amidoximate complex with η² binding motif, strong covalent interaction and orbital hybridization between U 5f/6d and (N, O) 2p should be responsible for the excellent binding ability of the amidoximate ligand to uranyl. The study was performed directly in aqueous solution to avoid the possible binding mode differences caused by crystallization of a single‐crystal sample. This work also is an example of the simultaneous study of local structure and electronic structure in solution systems using combined diagnostic tools.     

Fluorescent Carbon Dots as Cost-Effective and Facile Probes for Caffeic Acid Sensing via a Fluorescence Quenching Process

Caffeic acid (CA), a familiar color stabilizing reagent, has aroused general concern due to its uncontrolled addition, and thus the detection of CA is increasingly important. In our report, the bright carbon dots (CDs) were prepared via hydrothermal treatment with urea and citric acid act as raw material and their characteristics were discussed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and so on. Impressively, the strong emission of the as-prepared CDs (Quantum Yield: 24.3%) decreased sharply upon a full reaction with the added CA. Hence, we first present an improved strategy for determining CA based upon the quenching of the strong emission of CDs. In this strategy, 0.79–100.0 µmol L^??1 caffeic acid could be simply detected, and a detection limit of 0.24 µmol L^??1 was allowed. Additionally, CA in red wine samples can be successfully detected by this method and the exploration of the quenching mechanism of the CA-CDs system was done.
