Application of atmospheric pressure microwave plasma source for production of hydrogen via methane reforming

In this paper, results of hydrogen production via methane pyrolysis in the atmospheric pressure microwave plasma with CH₄ swirl are presented. A waveguide-based nozzleless cylinder-type microwave plasma source (MPS) was used to convert methane into hydrogen. The plasma generation was stabilized by a CH₄ swirl having a flow rate of 87.5 L min^-1. The absorbed microwave power was 1.5–5 kW. The hydrogen production rate and the corresponding energy efficiency were 866 g (H₂) h^-1 and 577 g (H₂) kWh^-1 of microwave energy absorbed by the plasma, respectively. These parameters are better than our previous results when nitrogen was used as a swirl gas and much better than those typical for other plasma methods of hydrogen production (electron beam, gliding arc, plasmatron).

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of Nd:YAG–CO2 Double-Pulse Laser-Induced Iron Plasmas

Double-Pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of iron using both Nd:YAG and TEA–CO₂ lasers has been investigated to better understand mechanisms of signal enhancement. The signal dependence on the delay between the two laser pulses shows an enhanced signal when the CO₂ laser pulse interacts with the sample before the Nd:YAG pulse. Signal kinetics and a simple model of sample heating by the CO₂ pulse show that the enhancement during the first 700 ns is due primarily to sample heating. Images of the sample surface after ablation as well as time-integrated pictures of the plasma suggest that particles are ejected from the surface during the first microseconds after the arrival of the CO₂ pulse and provide fuel for the subsequent plasma created by the Nd:YAG laser.     

微波场中T型分子筛的合成及晶化研究

研究了微波场中T型分子筛的结晶过程。考察了微波加热体系中合成参数如合成时间、溶胶组成、反应压力和模板剂用量对分子筛晶化的影响。微波加热的主要优点是减少合成时间,无模板剂的溶胶在普通加热条件下的晶化时间需要120 h,而在微波场中则仅需要20～25 h。另一方面,由于微波的快速加热特性促进了稳定相钙十字沸石的生成,从而减小了次稳定相T型分子筛的结晶区间。在未添加模板剂条件时,100 ℃下微波水热合成T型分子筛的结晶区间为：20≤n_SiO2/n_Al2O3≤22和0.31≤ n_M2O/n_SiO2≤0.33(其中M₂O=Na₂O+K₂O, n_Na/n_K=3和n_M2O/n_SiO2=11.70)。在普通加热和微波加热合成体系中,添加模板剂均能扩大结晶区间,同时还可以进一步减少合成时间。     

Evidence of 13 hybrid fluoroaluminates in the composition space diagram of the Al(OH)3–tren–HF–ethanol system

Thirteen phases are now evidenced in the composition space diagram of the Al(OH)₃–tren–HF–ethanol system at 190 °C. Solvothermal syntheses are performed under microwave heating. Six new organic–inorganic fluorides crystallise and their structures are determined: (H₃O)·[H₄tren]₂·(AlF₆)₃·6H₂O (P-1, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(AlF₅(H₂O))₃·8H₂O (C2/c, Z = 8), [H₃tren]₄·(AlF₆)₂·(Al₂F₁₁)·(F)·10H₂O (P2₁/n, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈)·3.5H₂O (P6₃, Z = 2), [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈) (P-1, Z = 1), and [H₃tren]₄·(Al₈F₃₅)·(OH)·H₂O (P-1, Z = 1). The existence domains are approximately located for all phases. Tren amine is tetraprotonated at high HF concentration, otherwise it is triprotonated. A protonated water cluster, H₃O⁺(H₂O)₆, appears in (H₃O)·[H₄tren]₂·(AlF₆)₃·6H₂O while a new Al₄F₁₈ unit, found in [H₃tren]₂·(Al₄F₁₈), is evidenced; it results from corner and edge sharing association of four AlF₆ octahedra. Finally, the structure of [H₃tren]₄·(Al₈F₃₅)·(OH)·H₂O revealed the largest known fluoroaluminate polyanion, built from eight vertex sharing AlF₆ octahedra, (Al₈F₃₅)¹¹⁻.     

[H3tren] templated iron fluorides; synthesis, crystal structures and Mössbauer studies

The hydrothermal synthesis, using tris-(2-ethylamino)amine (tren) as a template, and the crystal structures of three new hybrid iron fluorides, (H₃O)₂·[H₃tren]₂·(FeF₆)₂·(FeF₅(H₂O))·2H₂O (I), [H₃tren]₂·(FeF₆)₂·(FeF₂(H₂O)₄)·8H₂O (II) and [H₃tren]₂·(FeF₆)·(F)₃·H₂O (III), are reported. I, II, and III are triclinic (P-1), monoclinic (P2₁/c) and orthorhombic (I222), respectively. The structure of I is built up from isolated FeF₆ and FeF₅(H₂O) distorted octahedra separated by triprotonated [H₃tren]³⁺ cations, disordered H₃O⁺ cations and H₂O molecules. In II, Fe^IIIF₆ and neutral [Fe^IIF₂(H₂O)₄] octahedra form, together with [H₃tren]³⁺ cations, infinite (100) layers separated by extra water molecules. The structure of III consists of isolated and disordered FeF₆ octahedra, fluoride anions F⁻ connected to [H₃tren]³⁺ cations and extra fluoride anions F⁻ disordered with H₂O molecules. All [H₃tren]³⁺ cations have a “spider” type conformation. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer characterization shows that +III valence state can only be considered for iron cations in I and III and preliminary Mössbauer results are consistent with the presence of both +II and +III valences for iron cations in II, in agreement with the crystallographic results.     

Synthesis and characterization of Eu-doped hydroxyapatite through a microwave assisted microemulsion process

Europium doped hydroxyapatite (Eu:HAp) nanosized particles with multiform morphologies have been successfully prepared via a simple microemulsion-mediated process assisted with microwave heating. The physicochemical properties of the samples were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and the kinetic decays, respectively. The results reveal that the obtained Eu:HAp particles are well assigned to the hexagonal lattice structure of the hydroxyapatite phase. Additionally, it is found that samples exhibit uniform morphologies which can be controlled by altering the pH values. Furthermore, the samples show the characteristic ⁵D₀–⁷F_1–4 emission lines of Eu³⁺ excited by UV radiation.
