CO is a primary component of basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG) and can be used for producing fuel and various value-added chemicals. It can be typically obtained from steel mill gases via separation. Herein, suitable bed operation configurations for vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) were determined based on the desired CO product purity (PURCO,...

This work evaluates the impact of different organic acids on the corrosion sensitivity and stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) of NiCrMoV steam turbine steel. For all organic acids, potentiodynamic measurements shows linear relationships between corrosion rate and hydrogen proton concentration between pH 2.4 and 3.9. For solutions with the same pH, i.e...
Lattice-strained Bi2S3 with 3D hierarchical structures are prepared through a top-down route by a topotactic transformation. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirm the lattice spacing is expanded by prolonged sulfuration. Performance studies demonstrate that Bi2S3 with the largest lattice expansion (Bi2...

MoS2 nanoflowers are favored for their potential in the production of elemental sulfur due to abundant surface area and good catalytic performance for reducing SO2. A novel synthetic strategy of porous Al2O3 supported on the MoS2 with nanoflower structure was proposed. The effects of preparation concentration, calcination atmosphere, and Al2O3 cont...

In this work, a series of novel rubber seed shell-derived N-doped ultramicroporous carbons (NPCs) were prepared by one-step high-temperature activation (500-1000 degrees C), using melamine as the nitrogen source and KOH as the activator. The effects of the melamine dosage and the activation temperatures on the surface chemical properties (doped N c...
