Formation of nano-crystalline corrosion products on Zn-Al alloy coating exposed to seawater

Hot dip Zn-Al alloy coating performs better than hot dip galvanized coating and 55% Al-Zn-Si coating as well with regard to general seawater corrosion protection. A characterization of the corrosion products on Zn-Al alloy coating immersed in dynamic aerated seawater has been performed mainly based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for morphological analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique for crystalline phase identification. The XRD and TEM analyses showed that the corrosion products mainly were typical nanometer Zn4CO3(OH)(6).H2O, Zn-5(OH)(8)Cl-2 and Zn6Al2CO3(OH)(16). 4H(2)O microcrystals. This probably is connected to the co-precipitation of Zn2+ and Al3+ ions caused by adsorption. Zn-Al alloy coating being suffered seawater attacks, AI(OH)(3) gel was first produced on the coating surface. Zn and Al hydroxides would co-precipitate and form double-hydroxide when the concentration of adsorbed Zn2+ ions by the newly produced gel exceeded the critical degree of supersaturation of the interphase nucleation. However, because the growth of the crystals was too low to keep in step with the nucleation, a layer of nano-crystalline corrosion products were produced on the surface of the coating finally.

Study on growth factors of intermetallic layer within hot-dipped 25% Al-Zn alloy coating on steel

25%Al-Zn alloy coating performs better than hot dip galvanized coating and 55%Al-Zn-Si coating with regard to general seawater corrosion protection. This study deals with the interfacial intermetallic layer's growth, which affects considerably the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of 25%Al-Zn alloy coatings, by means of three-factor quadratic regressive orthogonal experiments, The regression equation shows that the intermetallic layer thickness decreases rapidly with increasing content of Si added to the Zn-Al alloy bath, increases with rise in bath temperature and prolonging dip time. The most effective factor that determined the thickness of intermetallic layer was the amount of Si added to Zn-Al alloy bath, while the effect of bath temperature and dip time on the thickness of intermetallic layer were not very obvious.

KEL-TI介质的地震波场响应与成像方法研究

To deal with the problems in multi-component converted seismic wave exploration in coal fields, the wave propagating features and imaging methods of multi-component converted waves in coal measure strata are researched in this thesis firstly. The relations between viscoelasticity and anisotropy in coal measure strata are analyzed to build KEL-TI model, and which seismic wave propagating and attenuating features are researched. The disadvantages of converted wave imaging methods based on common converted point gather are analyzed and constant velocity no NMO converted wave imaging method based on common scattering point gather is put forward, according to Huygens-Fresnel principle, which applicabilities in the elastic isotropic, elastic TI and KEL-TI situations are discussed. To different model simulation data, the common scattering point gathers’ and stacked profiles’ features are analyzed. The results show that the method can image compressional waves and converted waves with high precision. Secondly, the resolution enhancing theories and methods of converted wave are researched by Rayleigh wave suppressing, converted wave static correction and poststack inverse-Q filtering. 1) The polarization filter is designed by the instantaneous polarization information of seismic waves, and the Rayleigh wave suppressing method is researched. From the spectrum analysis before and after filtering, it can be derived that the amplitudes are kept relatively. 2) To constant velocity no NMO converted wave imaging method, the static correction method based on common equivalent offset point gather is put forward and tested to the actual converted waves. 3) The relation between equivalent quality factor of converted wave, compressional wave quality factor and the ratio of compressional to shear wave velocity is derived. The compressional wave quality inversion method by first arrivals of none-offset VSP is researched, and which is then transformed to the equivalent quality factor to perform inverse-Q filtering of actual converted waves. The result has shown that the method can recover the high frequency energy of converted waves. At last, the theories and methods researched in this thesis are practiced to the 3D3C seismic exploration in Guqiao coal mine in Huainan and achieve good results.

Epoxidation of cyclohexene on Ti/SiO2 catalysts prepared by chemical grafting TiCl4 on deboronated silica xerogel

Ti/SiO2 (or Ti/de[B]SiO2) catalysts were prepared by grafting deboronated silica xerogel with gaseous TiCl4. Using TBHP as oxidant, the Ti/de[B]SiO2 catalyst shows both catalytic activity and selectivity in epoxidation of cyclohexene better than 80%, and the activity can be comparable with that of Ti-beta. The catalytic activity of Ti/de[B]SiO2 strongly depends on the content of B of support precursor, and the pretreatment temperature of the support. IR studies show that the sites in the deboronated silica xerogel to react with TiCl4 are not only the silanol nests, but also the defect sites produced during the deboronation.
