Alkali desulfurization of petroleum coke is an important technology, can improve the performance of the final products of petroleum coke, while reducing air pollution. This paper studied the conditions for desulfurization of calcined petroleum coke using NaOH solid powders. The experimental results show that, the grain size in the range of experiment did not seem to influence desulphurization. With the increase of temperature, adding alkali coke ratio, reaction time, desulfurization of petroleum coke rate increased. In the alkali coke ratio of 2, the reaction temperature is 500°C, the reaction time is 2 h, the desulfurization of petroleum coke ratio reached 98.1%. Desulfurization of petroleum coke rate by prolonging the reaction time, to a certain extent, maintains the same level of lowing alkali coke ratio.
Metallic nanowires have been widely studied in various fields due to its special properties such as electronic, optical and chemical. Conventional methods for the preparation of Cu nanowires are usually not accessible by using porous alumina templates due to restriction on using two-step anode oxidation, sputtering Au film, etc. In this paper, the porous alumina template was prepared by one-step anodization. An Al sheet was employed as cathode instead of a valuable Pt or graphite electrode. The Al substrate of alumina template was removed by using the concentrated hydrochloric acid/ethanol solution instead of a heavy metallic salt solution of SnCl4, HgCl2 or CuCl2 used in documents. Cu nanowires were prepared in the porous alumina template by electro-deposition with moving cathode. Some of Cu nanowires were neatly assembled together to form a hemispherical structure and were protected from oxidation. The operations can reduce the cost and simplify the operation.
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.
