Catalytic oxidation of CO over Pt/Fe3O4 catalysts: Tuning O2 activation and CO adsorption

• Strong metal-support interaction exists on Pt/Fe₃O₄ catalysts. • Pt metal particles facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies on Fe₃O₄. • Fe₃O₄ supports enhance the strength of CO adsorption on Pt metal particles. The self-inhibition behavior due to CO poisoning on Pt metal particles strongly impairs the performance of CO oxidation. It is an effective method to use reducible metal oxides for supporting Pt metal particles to avoid self-inhibition and to improve catalytic performance. In this work, we used in situ reductions of chloroplatinic acid on commercial Fe₃O₄ powder to prepare heterogeneous-structured Pt/Fe₃O₄ catalysts in the solution of ethylene glycol. The heterogeneous Pt/Fe₃O₄ catalysts achieved a better catalytic performance of CO oxidation compared with the Fe₃O₄ powder. The temperatures of 50% and 90% CO conversion were achieved above 260°C and 290°C at Pt/Fe₃O₄, respectively. However, they are accomplished on Fe₃O₄ at temperatures higher than 310°C. XRD, XPS, and H₂-TPR results confirmed that the metallic Pt atoms have a strong synergistic interaction with the Fe₃O₄ supports. TGA results and transient DRIFTS results proved that the Pt metal particles facilitate the release of lattice oxygen and the formation of oxygen vacancies on Fe₃O₄. The combined results of O₂-TPD and DRIFTS indicated that the activation step of oxygen molecules at surface oxygen vacancies could potentially be the rate-determining step of the catalytic CO oxidation at Pt/Fe₃O₄ catalysts. The reaction pathway involves a Pt-assisted Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism.

不同种植模式下添加伊利石对污染土壤的修复

为了探究伊利石与种植模式在重金属污染修复中的应用效果,采用室内盆栽试验,测定了植物的生理生化指标和土壤、植物的重金属含量,评价了不同种植模式下植物对重金属的吸收富集能力。结果表明,添加伊利石可以显著提高土壤pH,枸骨(Ilex cornuta var.fortunei)与绿萝(Epipremnum aureum)间作模式有利于提高土壤的有机质含量,提高枸骨抗逆性。添加1%(质量分数)伊利石后,各处理Pb有效态含量显著低于空白对照,而Zn有效态含量无显著性差异。枸骨与绿萝间作模式下,土壤有效态Zn含量显著高于绿萝单种,而与枸骨单种无显著差异。间作模式下,绿萝地上部Pb含量高于单种107.92%,而地下部Pb较单种显著降低19.69%。因此,枸骨与绿萝间作可显著提高绿萝对Pb的转运能力。     

塔段连接对多塔悬索桥中间钢桥塔极限承载力的影响∗

以泰州长江公路大桥为工程背景,通过有限元法研究塔段连接对多塔悬索桥中间钢桥塔极限承载力的影响。考虑中间钢桥塔的几何、材料非线性及塔段连接的接触非线性影响,采用ANSYS建立该桥局部塔段为板壳单元的多尺度有限元模型,计算并对比在两种典型加载方式下该模型与杆系有限元模型的钢桥塔极限承载力结果。研究表明:两种加载方式下,桥塔的破坏模式基本一致,表现为材料不连续的上塔柱节段局部形成塑形铰而使桥塔成为机构;多尺度有限元模型与杆系模型获得的荷载位移曲线基本一致,而多尺度模型的极限承载力稍高,且差异在2%以内,可认为塔段连接不是桥塔结构的薄弱点,其对其极限承载力的影响可以忽略。

Policy Windows, Policy Change, and Organizational Learning: Watersheds in the Evolution of Watershed Management

Employing in-depth, elite interviews, this empirical research contributes to understanding the dynamics among policy windows, policy change, and organizational learning. First, although much of the research on agenda setting—how issues attract enough attention that action is taken to address them—has been conducted at the national scale, this work explores the subnational, regional scale. With decentralization, regional-scale environmental decision-making has become increasingly important. Second, this research highlights the role of policy windows and instances of related organizational learning identified by natural resources managers. Having practitioners identify focusing events contrasts with the more typical approach of the researcher identifying a particular focusing event or events to investigate. A focusing event is a sudden, exceptional experience that, because of how it leads to harm or exposes the prospect for great devastation, is perceived as the impetus for policy change.

Estimating plant-available nitrogen release from manures, composts, and specialty products

Recent adoption of national rules for organic crop production have stimulated greater interest in meeting crop N needs using manures, composts, and other organic materials. This study was designed to provide data to support Extension recommendations for organic amendments. Specifically, our objectives were to (i) measure decomposition and N released from fresh and composted amendments and (ii) evaluate the performance of the model DECOMPOSITION, a relatively simple N mineralization/immobilization model, as a predictor of N availability. Amendment samples were aerobically incubated in moist soil in the laboratory at 22 degrees C for 70 d to determine decomposition and plant-available nitrogen (PAN) (n = 44), and they were applied preplant to a sweet corn crop to determine PAN via fertilizer N equivalency (n = 37). Well-composted materials (n = 14) had a single decomposition rate, averaging 0.003 d(-1). For uncomposted materials, decomposition was rapid (>0.01 d(-1)) for the first 10 to 30 d. The laboratory incubation and the full-season PAN determination in the field gave similar estimates of PAN across amendments. The linear regression equation for lab PAN vs. field PAN had a slope not different from one and a y-intercept not different than zero. Much of the PAN released from amendments was recovered in the first 30 d. Field and laboratory measurements of PAN were strongly related to PAN estimated by DECOMPOSITION (r(2) > 0.7). Modeled PAN values were typically higher than observed PAN, particularly for amendments exhibiting high initial NH(4)-N concentrations or rapid decomposition. Based on our findings, we recommend that guidance publications for manure and compost utilization include short-term (28-d) decomposition and PAN estimates that can be useful to both modelers and growers.
