Cobalt separation from waste mobile phone batteries using selective precipitation and chelating resin

Separation of cobalt from mixed-waste mobile phone batteries containing LiCoO₂ cathodic active material was investigated using selective precipitation and chelating resin. Cobalt was recovered from the active powder materials containing 47 % Co oxide together with Mn, Cu, Li, Al, Fe, and Ni oxides. The metal ions were leached sufficiently using 4 M HCl. The metal ions detected spectrophotometrically were removed from the leaching solution by selective precipitation at pH 5.5, with cobalt loss of 27.5 %. Conditions for achieving a recovery of Co in the filtrate by chelating resin were determined experimentally by varying the pH and time of the reaction, as well as the initial resin-to-liquid ratio. The cobalt was efficiently determined by absorption spectrometry at λ _max 510 nm. Chelating polyamidoxime resin was synthesized by polymerization of acrylonitrile and followed by amidoximation reaction. Physically cross-linked gel of polyacrylonitrile was made by a cooling technique.     

富里酸对重金属在沉积物上吸附及形态分布的影响

以连续碱提取法获得的乌梁素海沉积物中的富里酸为基础,以原状沉积物和去除有机质沉积物为吸附剂,开展了富里酸对重金属在沉积物上吸附行为和形态分布的影响实验研究.结果表明,有机质的去除和富里酸的添加对沉积物吸附重金属均有一定影响;未添加富里酸条件下,有机质的去除对Cu~(2+)影响最大,可导致沉积物对Cu~(2+)的吸附率下降17.85%;随富里酸添加量的增加,2种沉积物对重金属离子的吸附率均逐渐降低,下降速率表现为Cu~(2+)?Cd~(2+)Zn~(2+)Pb~(2+);当富里酸添加量超过5%时,富里酸逐渐成为影响重金属离子吸附率下降的主导因素;随富里酸添加量的增加,原状沉积物和去除有机质沉积物中重金属的形态分布均有明显变化,添加富里酸增加了体系中H~+的浓度,H~+能够置换碳酸盐结合态金属,使碳酸盐结合态金属从沉积物中释放出来,从而导致重金属的碳酸盐结合态与富里酸添加量呈显著负相关,重金属的有机硫化物结合态含量与富里酸添加量呈显著正相关,Cd因亲有机性较弱,其有机硫化物结合态的含量最低且变化幅度最小.     

Organophosphorus pollutants (OPP) in aquatic environment at Damietta Governorate, Egypt: implications for monitoring and biomarker responses

The study was carried out from spring 1999 to spring 2001 to monitor the residue levels of organophosphorus pollutants (OPP) in aquatic environment of the drainage canal surrounding a pesticide factory at Damietta Governorate. Water, sediment, and fish samples were collected at six different seasonal periods. OPPs were analyzed by GLC and confirmed using GC-MS. Chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, malathion, diazinon, pirimiphos-methyl and profenofos were detected in most samples. Chlorpyrifos was dominant in all water and sediment samples. It was ranged from 24.5 to 303.8 and 0.9 to 303.8 ppb in water and sediment samples, respectively. Diazinon level was slightly similar to chlorpyrifos in fish samples. Data based on the grand total concentration of OPP showed that the most polluted samples were collected either at spring 1999 or autumn 2000. They were 675.5 and 303.8 ppb in water samples and 43.0 and 52.2 ppb in fish collected at spring 1999 and autumn 2000, respectively. The obtained results are in parallel to that found in case of cholinesterase activity where the activity of both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) was declined at these seasonal period. The activity levels of AChE and BuChE were found to be 77.18% and 59.67% of control at spring 1999 and 78.62% and 85.80% of control, at autumn 2000, respectively. Thus, AChE and BuChE could be used as biomarkers for tracing and biomonitoring OPP pollution.     

40.5kV真空灭弧室内部电场强度分布的仿真分析

40.5 kV/2.5 kA/63 kA真空灭弧室作为363 kV/5 kA/63 kA快速断路器串联模块的子单元,研究其内部电场强度分布以确保其绝缘性能,对于整套快速断路器装置的安全可靠运行尤为重要。根据实际参数搭建了40.5 kV真空灭弧室的基本模型,利用Ansoft 有限元计算仿真软件搭建了40.5 kV真空灭弧室的仿真模型,进行了电场强度分布的仿真计算,得到了灭弧室中的动触头台阶倒角区域、动触头倒角区域、静触头台阶倒角区域、静触头倒角区域的电场强度最大,最有可能发生击穿的结论。提出了通过改变台阶倒角和触头倒角以改善电场分布进行优化设计的建议,并利用Ansoft 仿真软件进行改变台阶倒角值和触头倒角值后的仿真计算,得到了触头台阶处倒角取值2mm、动静触头倒角2mm或3mm的设计较优,只设置1个触头片时触头倒角取值3 mm设计较优。
