The uncoated and CaCO3-coated LiMn204 materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electrochemical tests. XRD and SEM results indicated that CaCO3 particles encapsulated the surface of the LiMn204 without causing any structural change. The charge-discharge tests showed that the specific discharge capacity fade of pristine electrode at 25 and 55℃ were 25.5% and 52%, respectively. However, surface modified cathode shows 7.4% and 29.5% loss compared to initial specific discharge capacity at 70th cycle for 25 and 55~C, respectively. The improvement of electrochemical performance is attributed to suppression of Mn2＋ dissolution into electrolyte via CaCO3 layer.展开更多

CaCO3 composite particles were prepared by the precipita- tion reaction of sodium carbonate with calcium chloride solution in the presence of silk sericin. The as-prepared samples were collected at different reaction time to study the crystallization process of CaCO3 by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results showed that silk sericin significantly affected the morphology and crystallographic polymorph of CaCO3. With increasing the reaction time, the crystal phase of CaCO3 transferred from calcite dominated to vaterite dominated mixtures, while the morphology of CaCO3 changed from disk-like calcite crystal to spherical vaterite crystal. These studies showed the potential of silk sericin used as a template molecule to control the growth of inorganic crystal.展开更多

Silica content was reduced to less than 13g in the concentrate so that it became satisfactory for use in the paper or rubber industries. The limestone sample was crystalline and constituted primarily of calcite that contained quartz, feldspar, pyroxene, and biotite as gangue minerals. Quartz is the major silicate gangue whereas feldspar, pyroxene, and biotite exist in minor to trace quantities. Traces of pyrite were also observed within the sample. A reverse flotation process was adopted where the silicate gangue minerals were floated using two different commercial cationic collectors： Chem-750 F or Floatamine-D. The studies clearly suggest it is possible to produce a limestone concentrate assaying around 96-97% CaCO3 containing less than 1 % Si02. The effect of feed flow rate, percent solids, froth depth, and wash water on the grade and recovery of the CaC03 concentrate is discussed.展开更多

The results indicate that, the new phases, i.e., C3A·0.5CaCO3·0.5Ca（OH）2·11.5H2O and C3A·CaCO3·11H2O are found in this system due to the activity of CaC03; the formation of C4AH13 and C2AH8 is prohibited and the generation of C3AH6 is delayed in the early hydration process. C3A·0.5CaCO3·0.5Ca（OH）2.11.5HEO is not stable and will be totally transferred within 24 h; C3A·CaCO3.11H2O exists stably once formation, and its flake-like crystalline phases in the early hydration transform to long rod shape, and to finally fine-needle at 28 d.展开更多

Through combined analysis of organic carbon isotope and CaCO\-3 content, the law of paleoclimatic evolution of the Hongzuisi section is obtained. There were climatic changes from 10 ka to about 0.1 ka over the last 15 ka. Among these cycles, the cycle of several ka is most remarkable. The result indicates that functional spectral analysis is helpful for paleoclimatic study, which can provide useful information about paleoclimatic reconstruction and future forecast.展开更多
