This paper investigated the effect of additional sulfide and thiosulfate on Q235 carbon steel corrosion in alkaline solutions. Weight loss method, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with EDS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical measurements were used in this study to show the corrosion behavior and electrochemistry of Q235 carbon steel. Results indicate that the synergistic corrosion rate of Q235 carbon steel in alkaline solution containing sulfide and thiosulfate is larger than that of sulfide and thiosulfate alone, which could be due to redox reaction of sulfide and thiosulfate. The surface cracks and pitting characteristics of the specimens after corrosion were carefully examined and the corrosion products film is flake grains and defective. The main corrosion products of specimen induced by S2−and S2O32-are FeS, FeS2, Fe3O4, and FeOOH. The present study shows that the corrosion mechanism of S2−and S2O32-is different for the corrosion of Q235 carbon steel.
Dissolution behavior of high titanium bauxite was investigated. The effect of several factors on dissolution of alumina and titanium dioxide were examined. The experimental results showed that the titanium dioxide dissolution rate was 9.82% and alumina relative dissolution rate was 88.83% under the best dissolution conditions for dissolution temperature of 240°C, lime add volume of 4%, and alkali concentration of 220g/L.
A novel process of solid-oxide-oxygen-ion conducting membrane (SOM) technique has been investigated to produce Ta metal directly from Ta2O5 in molten CaCl2. The sintered porous Ta2O5 pellet was employed as the cathode while liquid copper, saturated with graphite powder and encased in a one-end-closed yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ) tube, acted as the anode. The particle sizes and porosity of the cathode pellets are important factors that have significant impact on the electrolysis process. The optimal experimental conditions is pellet sintering and electrolytic temperature 1100°C, cell voltage 3.5V, electrolysis time 2h.
Aiming at the research and develop of high sulfur bauxite, the salt discharge experiment in sodium aluminate seeded precipitation mother liquor had been studied. The results proved that, in the evaporation process, Na2Ok concentration should be controlled in 300-320g/l to prevent Al (OH)3 from precipitation. The additive amount of Na2SO4 had a great influence on the precipitate of Na2CO3, Na2SO4 and Al (OH)3. The precipitation rate increased with the increasing of Na2SO4 content. All things considered, salt discharge effect was better when Ns was 4.5~5g/l.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
