The catalyst
used in fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) units of refineries after several
recovery cycles in regeneration units, reduces its activity and it is partially
substituted by new catalyst in the process. As it has a high silicon and aluminum
oxides content, the pozzolanic properties of a Brazilian FCC spent residual
catalyst, used in different substitution degrees to cement, were evaluated
by three thermal analysis techniques during the early stages of hydration
of a type II Portland cement. NCDTA curves show in real time that the residual
catalyst, accelerates the stages of cement hydration. TG and DSC curves of
respective pastes after 24 h of hydration evidence the pozzolanic activity
of the waste, respectively, by the lower water mass loss during the dehydroxylation
of the residual calcium hydroxide and by the lower dehydroxylation endothermal
effect. Within the analyzed period, the higher is the cement substitution
degree, the higher is the pozzolanic activity of the residual catalyst. 相似文献
The fate and transport of toxic metal ions and radionuclides in the environment is generally controlled by sorption reactions.
The extent of sorption of divalent metal cations is controlled by a number of factors including cosorbing or complexing. In
this work, the effects of pH, humic acid HA/Co(II) addition orders, ionic strength, concentration of HA, and foreign cations
on the Co(II) sorption on γ-Al2O3 in the presence of HA were investigated. The sorption isotherms of Co(II) on γ-Al2O3 in the absence and presence HA were also studied and described by using S-type sorption model. The experimental results showed
that the Co(II) sorption is strongly dependent on the pH values, concentration of HA, but independent of HA/Co(II) addition
orders, ionic strength, and foreign cations in the presence of HA under our experimental conditions. The results also indicated
that HA enhanced the Co(II) sorption at low pH, but reduced the Co(II) sorption at high pH. It was hypothesized that the significantly
positive influence of HA at low pH on the Co(II) sorption on γ-Al2O3 was attributed to strong surface binding of HA on γ-Al2O3 and subsequently the formation of ternary surface complexes such as ≡S-OOC-R-(COO−)xCo2−x. Chemi-complexation may be the main mechanism of the Co(II) sorption on γ-Al2O3 in the presence of HA. 相似文献
Structures of Charge-Perturbed or Sterically Overcrowded Molecules. 16. Tetracyanoethylene Sodium Dimethoxyethane The Single crystal structure of [(NC)2C? C(CN)2?·Na⊕(H3CO? CH2CH2? OCH3)]∞ reveals two formula units within the triclinic (P1 ) unit cell. The tetracyanoethylene radical anions are arranged along parallel double layers, which are shifted relative to each other, and in between which are interspersed the sodium counter cations and their dimethoxyethane ligands. The distances within the double layers amount to 300 pm and the ones between them to 385 pm. The six-fold coordinated Na⊕ centers are surrounded by four radical anions with contact distances Na…?N between 250 and 254 pm as well as by a twofold solvent ligand with Na…?O of 238 and 241 pm. Due to the electron transfer to the acceptor molecule, its (NC)2C-halves twist by 8° and the bond lengths of the N?C? C subunits, bent by each 3°, are shortened up to 2 pm. The structural parameters are compared to those of the analogous potassium salt [TCNE?K⊕DME], of the dianion , of the sodium salts [(NC)3C?Na⊕]∞ as well as [(NC)2C? C(CHCH)2? C(CN)2?Na⊕]∞ and, in addition, are discussed based on geometry-optimized MNDO calculations. 相似文献
In this study, a syringe was filled with silica gel loaded with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, for the separation and preconcentration of copper, cadmium and chromium prior to their determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) in seawater. For this purpose, a syringe was filled with 0.5 g of modified silica gel and the sample solution was drawn into the syringe and ejected back again. The analyte elements were quantitatively retained at pH 5. Then, the elements sorbed by the silica gel were eluted with 2.0 M of HCl and determined by GFAAS. At optimum conditions, the recovery of Cu, Cd and Cr were 96-98%. Detection limits (3delta) were 6.6, 7.5 and 6.0 micro g L(-1) for Cu, Cd and Cr, respectively. The elements could be concentrated by drawing and discharging several portions of sample successively but eluting only once. Cu, Cd and Cr added to a seawater sample were quantitatively recovered (>95%) in the range of the 95% confidence level. The method proposed in this paper was compared with a column technique. Optimum experimental conditions, reproducibility, precision and recoveries of both techniques are the same, but the syringe technique is much faster, easier and more practical than the column technique. It is a portable system and allows one to make the sorption process in the source of sample. In addition, the risk of contamination is less than in the column technique. 相似文献
The adsorption/desorption process of borate was studied at Pt(111) in acidic solution by cyclic voltammetry. A so-called butterfly
wave in the cyclic voltammogram of Pt(111) in HClO4 shifted to negative direction upon the addition of boric acid with the disappearance of its sharp spikes. The shift in potential
was found to be −57 mV with a tenfold increase of boric acid concentration. This illustrates that this anomalous wave is due
to borate adsorption/desorption by a one-electron transfer process. The borate adsorption/desorption wave was observed to
shift by −63 mV/pH. At pH>3, the anomalous wave splits forming two separate waves, depending on the pH and the scan rate.
The appearance of two waves is assigned to the change in the adsorption mode of borate or the participation of OH in the adsorption
process. 相似文献
Interactions and binding sites of the solvent molecules chloroform and ethanol to bis(acetylacetonate)oxovanadium(IV) (VO(acac)2) complexes in (frozen) solutions have been investigated by pulsed electron nuclear double resonance, sum peak electron spin
echo envelope modulation and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy. The experimental proton hyperfine coupling data
of coordinating solvent molecules have been interpreted using quantum chemical calculations (density functional theory). Experimental
and computed hyperfine couplings indicate that ethanol coordinates to vanadium in the equatorial plane of VO(acac)2 and chloroform interacts via hydrogen bonding to oxygens of the acac ligands. 相似文献
Inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of an N-H group in pyrazole complexes was studied using ligands with two different groups at pyrazole C-3 and C-5. At C-5, groups such as methyl, i-propyl, phenyl, or tert-butyl were present. At C-3, side chains L-CH(2)- and L-CH(2)CH(2)- (L = thioether or phosphine) ensured formation of chelates to a cis-dichloropalladium(II) fragment through side-chain atom L and the pyrazole nitrogen closest to the side chain. The significance of the ligands is that by placing a ligating side chain on a ring carbon (C-3), rather than on a ring nitrogen, the ring nitrogen not bound to the metal and its attached proton are available for hydrogen bonding. As desired, seven chelate complexes examined by X-ray diffraction all showed intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the pyrazole N-H and a chloride ligand in the cis position. In addition, however, intermolecular hydrogen bonding could be controlled by the substituent at C-5: complexes with either a methyl at C-5 or no substituent there showed significant intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, which were completely avoided by placing a tert-butyl group at C-5. The acidity of two complexes in acetonitrile solutions was estimated to be closer to that of pyridinium ion than those of imidazolium or triethylammonium ions. 相似文献
Orientation control of perovskite compounds was investigated by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets.
An aqueous suspension of oxide nanosheets was prepared by the exfoliation of a layered compound of KCa2Nb3O10 oxide grains. A seed layer composed of (TBA)Ca2Nb3O10 nanosheets (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) was formed on a glass substrate by simply dip coating it in the suspension. Two kinds
of perovskite compounds, LaNiO3 (LNO) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) with a preferred orientation of (00l) were successfully grown on this seeded glass substrate. In this study, the relation between lattice mismatch and electrical
properties is investigated. A large, oriented PZT film with a size of 5 ×4 cm shows an improved P-E hysteresis behavior by
use of this orientation control. 相似文献
This work introduces and compares approaches for estimating rare-event probabilities related to the number of edges in the random geometric graph on a Poisson point process. In the one-dimensional setting, we derive closed-form expressions for a variety of conditional probabilities related to the number of edges in the random geometric graph and develop conditional Monte Carlo algorithms for estimating rare-event probabilities on this basis. We prove rigorously a reduction in variance when compared to the crude Monte Carlo estimators and illustrate the magnitude of the improvements in a simulation study. In higher dimensions, we use conditional Monte Carlo to remove the fluctuations in the estimator coming from the randomness in the Poisson number of nodes. Finally, building on conceptual insights from large-deviations theory, we illustrate that importance sampling using a Gibbsian point process can further substantially reduce the estimation variance.
