Microstructural characterization showed that the primary M_7C_3 carbide network contained a substantial content of manganese, in agreement with the microsegregation of manganese calculated by Thermo-Calc using the Scheil–Gulliver module. The dissolution of primary carbides caused the solute supersaturation of austenite and subsequent precipitation of fine M_(23)C_6 carbides in the austenite matrix for aged specimens. During prolonged aging, the carbide size increased with increasing time because of the coarsening process. A time–temperature–precipitation diagram for M_(23)C_6 carbides was calculated using the Thermo-CalcPRISMA software; this diagram showed good agreement with the experimental growth kinetics of precipitation. The fine carbide precipitation caused an increase in hardness; however, the coarsening process of carbides promoted a decrease in hardness. Nanoindentation tests of the austenite matrix indicated an increase in ductility with increasing aging time.展开更多

In this work, the synthesis of red, white and blue light emitting composite powders of Al2O3:Eu3+@SiO2 were successfully synthesized by the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of TEOS as the raw precursor of silica matrix on the Al2O3:Eu3+ surface. With the aim to change the CIE coordinates different weight ratios of Al2O3:Eu3+/SiO2 powders from 13Al/87Si to 5Al/95Si were prepared. Besides, various excitation wavelength from 280 to 340 nm was used in order to change the ratio intensity;Ired/Iblue, between the red emission coming from the 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions and the blue band of silica matrix. Chemical evolution of the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TEOS were conducted by FTIR spectroscopy. The results indicate that from 500°C a complete TEOS to SiO2 transformation is carried out.展开更多

Eight alloy compositions were prepared and homogenized at 350 °C for 180 h, and their Rockwell 'B' hardness was subsequently measured. All the specimens were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and metallographically prepared for observation by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results of the present work indicated that the hardness of both alloys(as-cast and homogenized) increased with increasing Al and Cu contents; this increased hardness is likely related to the presence of the θ and τ′ phases. A regression equation was obtained to determine the hardness of the homogenized alloys as a function of their chemical composition and processing parameters, such as homogenization time and temperature, used in their preparation.展开更多

Samples of sinter with different contents of Cu, S, As and Sb were equilibrated under reducing atmosphere （p（CO）/p（CO2）=2.45） at 1573 K in a tube furnace and slowly cooled. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis （SEM-EDS）. There were five immiscible phases：slag （CaO, FeO and SiO2）, matte （S, Cu and Fe）, speiss （As, Fe and Cu）, Cu-Sb phase and lead bullion （Pb, Ag, Sb, Cu, etc）. The results showed that Cu and Sb promote silver losses during the process since they form a liquid solution with higher silver solubility than liquid bullion. Sulfur and arsenic react with copper to form the matte and speiss phases, respectively. The effect of S and As is to reduce the amount of Cu-Sb alloy and then the silver losses from the bullion.展开更多

Ceramic powders were obtained under hydrothermal conditions of autogenous pressure in the presence of a nonionic surfactant. The production of pure and well-crystallized Li2 SiO3 using very short reaction times at low temperatures was shown by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses. Synthesized Li2SiO3 particles were nanocrystalline and exhibited different morphologies and specific surface areas depending on the synthesis conditions. Additionally, the capability of selected Li2SiO3 samples to absorb H20 and CO2 was evaluated via thermogravimet- ric analyses by varying the temperature, carrier gas, and water vapor concentration. Li2SiO3 particles exhibited interesting textural and morphological characteristics that make them suitable for use as a CO2 absorbent and which suggest that they also have the potential to be used in other applications.展开更多

文摘As-cast HK40 steel was aged at 700, 800, or 900℃ for times as long as 2000 h. Microstructural characterization showed that the primary M_7C_3 carbide network contained a substantial content of manganese, in agreement with the microsegregation of manganese calculated by Thermo-Calc using the Scheil–Gulliver module. The dissolution of primary carbides caused the solute supersaturation of austenite and subsequent precipitation of fine M_(23)C_6 carbides in the austenite matrix for aged specimens. During prolonged aging, the carbide size increased with increasing time because of the coarsening process. A time–temperature–precipitation diagram for M_(23)C_6 carbides was calculated using the Thermo-CalcPRISMA software; this diagram showed good agreement with the experimental growth kinetics of precipitation. The fine carbide precipitation caused an increase in hardness; however, the coarsening process of carbides promoted a decrease in hardness. Nanoindentation tests of the austenite matrix indicated an increase in ductility with increasing aging time.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was performed on the samples, as well as Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), to characterize the material properties for its application.
文摘Rare earths have been extensively developed in recent years, however, new hosts allow high excitation and emission efficiency, in this sense, gadolinium vanadate has been extensively studied and in previous works it has been widely used in down conversion systems. Because of the strong absorption of the VO4</sub> groups and efficient energy transfer from GdVO4</sub> to lanthanide ions, in this work its up-conversion properties were studied when is co-doped with Yb3+</sup>, X3+</sup> where X = Tm, Er and Ho. The powders synthesized presented a high crystallinity and a rounded morphology and exhibit a high luminescence when are excited with IR radiation.
文摘The synthesis of the thenoyltrifluoroacetone compound doped with terbium, dysprosium and europium encapsulated in a silica matrix (TTA:Tb:Dy:Eu@SiO<sub>2</sub>) were performed by the sol-gel method. The precursors to obtain the vitreous phase (SiO<sub>2</sub>) were: Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Si, 98%, Aldrich), and ethyl alcohol (CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH, 99.5%, Meyer), distilled water and 0.05 ml of hydrochloric acid (HCl, Meyer). The sample with molar ratio 20:80 TTA:Tb:Dy:Eu@SiO<sub>2</sub> has the best emission intensity. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shown that silica encapsulated samples decompose at lower temperatures than pure TTA:Tb:Dy:Eu luminescent material. Fourier Transform Infrared (IR-TF) shown the characteristic Si-O-Si bands that are presented at a wavelength of 1049, 853 and 440 cm<sup><span style="color:#4F4F4F;font-family:-apple-system, "font-size:16px;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;">-</span>1</sup> confirming that the luminescent material is encapsulated in a silica matrix, finally X-ray diffraction (XRD) shown that TTA:Tb:Dy:Eu@SiO2 composite is amorphous.
文摘A silver removal process was carried out on a Pb-Ag alloy through zinc powder injection of three different sizes （3.55, 44.4 and 734.8μm） with a top submerged lance using nitrogen as carrying gas. The higher silver removal was obtained for the zinc powder size of 44.4μm, while the lowest silver removal efficiency was attained for the smaller particle size. The AgZn phase was detected in the slag for the 44.4 and 734.8μm particle sizes by XRD, which was in agreement with SEM-EDS analysis. Experimental behavior was explained according to the melting and residence time of the injected particles.

文摘Polymeric nanoparticles of poly(methyl methacrylate)were obtained by emulsion polymerization techniques in a proce ss of two stages.The particles were functionalized with acrylic acid,curcumin,and fumaramide and three series of polymeric particles were obtained.The incorporation of functional groups was confirmed by Fourier transform-infrared spectrosocopy(FT-IR)and ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis)methods.The spherical morphology of particles with an average diameter of 100 nm was observed by scartning electron microscopy(SEM).The polymeric materials were used for recovery of[Eu]from synthetic solutions.The nanoparticles show excellent chelation capacity to trap rare-earth ions,because they recover more than 85%of[Eu]at pH of 2.The images of SEM after extraction process show arrays between particles with larger average particle sizes to 1.5 um.In addition,the particles have a good stripping capacity,exceeding 50%of it,maintaining their homogeneity in morphology and good stability in dispersion for the recovery and stripping processes.A pseudo-second model order is obtained for the extraction and stripping processes while the best results of stripping process are obtained at pH of 6.
文摘Experimental studies on phase equilibria and liquidus temperature in the PbO-ZnO-CaO-SiO2-＂Fe2O3＂ system,with the mass ratios of CaO/SiO2=1-1.6 and Fe/SiO2= 1.3-1.7,and 40% PbO and 8% ZnO,were carried out between 1273 and 1573 K.Slags were equilibrated at 1273 to 1573 K and cooled rapidly by quenching.The XRD and SEM-EDS results showed that the slag compositions are in the franklinite primary phase field.Calcium and lead silicates are formed between 1373 and 1473 K.The Ca/Pb silicate and magnetoplumbite phases are partially formed by an incongruent reaction.The experimental and thermodynamical results showed that the liquidus increased by increasing CaO/SiO2 mass ratio and decreasing Fe/SiO2 mass ratio.

文摘In this paper,the synthesis,structural evolution,and dielectric properties of BaTiO_(3)solid solutions codoped with rare earth elements(Gd^(3+)and Eu^(3+))prepared using the solid-state reaction method are presented.Chemically pure precursor powders of BaCl_3,TiO_(2),Gd_(2)O_(3),and Eu_(2)O_(3)were mixed in stoichiometric proportions,ground in an agate mortar before being uniaxially pressed at 250 MPa and sintered at 1300℃in air atmosphere for 6 h to obtain Ba_(1-3x)Gd_(2x)Ti_(1-3x)Eu_(4x)O_(3)(x=0,0.0015,0.01 and0.1).X-ray diffraction(XRD)and Rietveld's refinement results reveal the crystal phase ferroelectric tetragonal BaTiO_(3)for the samples with x=0,0.0015 and 0.01,as well as a consistent increment in the lattice parameters caused by the doping.The solubility limit of Gd^(3+)and Eu^(3+)in the BaTiO_(3)structure is reached for the sample with x>0.01,and the orthorhombic Eu_2TiO_(5)and monoclinic BaTi_(2)O_(5)secondary phases were identified.The Raman results show the characteristic peaks of ferroelectric tetragonal BaTiO_(3)around 716 cm^(-1)(LO of A1 symmetry),515 cm^(-1)(TO of A1 symmetry),and 305 cm^(-1)(B1).The maximum relative permittivity measured at 1 kHz was recorded to be 6151.8 for the sample with x=0.0015,and a decrease in the Curie temperature to 105℃with respect to the undoped sample was observed.The punctual microanalysis for the samples with x=0.0015,0.01,and 0.1 reveals grains composed of Ba,Ti,O,Gd,and Eu homogeneously distributed in the BaTiO_(3)structure.The Ba/Ti ratios for samples with x=0.0015,0.01 and 0.1 are 2.86,2.91,and 0.68,respectively,indicating substitution at the Ti site for samples with x=0.0015 and 0.01 and a substitution at the Ba site for the sample with x=0.1.

文摘The effect of a homogenizing treatment on the hardness of as-cast Zn–Al–Cu alloys was investigated. Eight alloy compositions were prepared and homogenized at 350 °C for 180 h, and their Rockwell 'B' hardness was subsequently measured. All the specimens were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and metallographically prepared for observation by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results of the present work indicated that the hardness of both alloys(as-cast and homogenized) increased with increasing Al and Cu contents; this increased hardness is likely related to the presence of the θ and τ′ phases. A regression equation was obtained to determine the hardness of the homogenized alloys as a function of their chemical composition and processing parameters, such as homogenization time and temperature, used in their preparation.
文摘In this study, the synthesis of LiCo<sub>1-X</sub>Sm<sub>X</sub>O<sub>y</sub> powders (X = 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, and 0.1) by the sol-gel method and the influence of Sm on their structural and morphological properties is reported for the first time. The results of x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show that LiCoO<sub>2</sub> powders synthesized at temperatures up to 700°C present a characteristic hexagonal crystalline phase of the α-NaFeO<sub>2</sub> type (space group R-3m), revealing a shift in the (0 0 3) Bragg reflection, which reflects the presence of Sm in the crystalline structure. The morphology was spheroidal and, on average, 122 nm in size. Based on the data obtained, LiCo<sub>1-X</sub>Sm<sub>X</sub>O<sub>y</sub> powders (X = 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, and 0.1) show promise as a material for use in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries.

文摘An experimental study was carried out to estimate the effect of the lead impurities on the silver distribution in the phases formed in the lead blast furnace. Samples of sinter with different contents of Cu, S, As and Sb were equilibrated under reducing atmosphere （p（CO）/p（CO2）=2.45） at 1573 K in a tube furnace and slowly cooled. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis （SEM-EDS）. There were five immiscible phases：slag （CaO, FeO and SiO2）, matte （S, Cu and Fe）, speiss （As, Fe and Cu）, Cu-Sb phase and lead bullion （Pb, Ag, Sb, Cu, etc）. The results showed that Cu and Sb promote silver losses during the process since they form a liquid solution with higher silver solubility than liquid bullion. Sulfur and arsenic react with copper to form the matte and speiss phases, respectively. The effect of S and As is to reduce the amount of Cu-Sb alloy and then the silver losses from the bullion.
文摘A series of lithium metasilicate （Li2SiO3） powder materials has been successfully synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal route using lithium hydroxide and tetraethyl-orthosilicate-derived sol precursors. Ceramic powders were obtained under hydrothermal conditions of autogenous pressure in the presence of a nonionic surfactant. The production of pure and well-crystallized Li2 SiO3 using very short reaction times at low temperatures was shown by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses. Synthesized Li2SiO3 particles were nanocrystalline and exhibited different morphologies and specific surface areas depending on the synthesis conditions. Additionally, the capability of selected Li2SiO3 samples to absorb H20 and CO2 was evaluated via thermogravimet- ric analyses by varying the temperature, carrier gas, and water vapor concentration. Li2SiO3 particles exhibited interesting textural and morphological characteristics that make them suitable for use as a CO2 absorbent and which suggest that they also have the potential to be used in other applications.
