The electronic microstructures of E-Al82Cu18 and Al2Cu alloy sheets were characterized by a field-emission scanning electron microscope equipped with an X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (JEOL, JSM-6700F, 8 kV) and a field-emission transmission electron microscope (JEOL, JEM-2100F, 200 kV). The metallographic microstructure of E-Al82Cu18 alloy was observed on a confocal laser scanning microscope (OLS3000, Olympus) after a chemical etching in a Keller solution. X-ray diffraction measurements of all specimens were performed on a D/max2500pc diffractometer with a Cu Kα radiation. Raman spectra were measured on a micro-Raman spectrometer (Renishaw) at the laser power of 0.5 mW, in which the laser with a wavelength of 532 nm was equipped. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was conducted on a Thermo ECSALAB 250 with an Al anode. Charging effects were compensated by shifting binding energies based on the adventitious C 1s peak (284.8 eV). O2 concentrations and Cu/Al ion concentrations in electrolytes were analyzed by portable DO meter (az8403) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES, Thermo electron), respectively.

Soil Sampling and Nutrient Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Soil samples in each plot were randomly taken using a 3-cm diameter soil core in the plots at a depth of 0-10 cm in mid-August each year. Three-core soils were combined to one soil sample. Soil samples were thoroughly mixed, air-dried and sieved through a 2 mm mesh for measuring soil pH and the concentrations of exchangeable ions. Soil NH 4 + -N and NO 3 --N concentrations were measured using fresh soils. Soil NH 4 + -N and NO 3 --N concentrations were analyzed with a continuous flow analyzer (Seal XY-2, Australia) after extraction of 2 M KCl at the ratio of 1:5 (w/v). For determination of soil pH, 6 g of air-dried soil was shaken with 15 ml CO 2 -free deionized water for a minute, and equilibrated for an hour to determinate pH with a pH meter (HANNA, PH211, Italy). Exchangeable of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and K + in soil were extracted by 1M NH 4 OAc (pH 7.0) at a 1:10 ratio (w/v) for 30 min. The exchangeable Mn 2+ , Fe 3+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ in soil were extracted with a extracting agent (pH 7.3) consisted of 5 mM diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), 10 mM CaCl 2 and 0.1 M triethanolamine (TEA) in 1:2 ratio (w/v) for 2 h. The extraction solution was filtered to determine the concentration of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , K + , Fe 3+ , Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ by ICP-OES (Thermo Electron Corporation, USA).

The HT powders were synthesized by the sol-gel method, as previously described [34 (link)]. Briefly, TEOS, ethanol, and HNO3 were mixed in a certain ratio and stirred to hydrolyze for 0.5 h. Then Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Ca(NO3)2·4H2O were added to the clarified solution after complete hydrolysis and stirred thoroughly for 4 h. The mixed solution was sealed at 60 °C for 36 h to form a gel, which was then dried at 120 °C for 72 h. The dried gel obtained was calcined at 1250 °C for 4 h. The SrCSi powders were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation [35 (link)]. All powders were milled for 8 h in a planetary ball mill (Chishun Sci&Tech Co., China) with a certain percentage of ethanol solution as a medium to obtain ultrafine particle-size powders (<5 μm). X-ray diffraction (XRD, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES; Thermo, UK) were used to verify the phase and elemental composition (calcium, strontium, silicon) of the synthesized powders.

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was employed to determine the selenite concentration in each sample as described by Nawaz et al. [59 (link)] with slight modifications. Briefly, 10 mL of bacterial culture was sampled every 6 h from each culture, followed by centrifugation at 12,000× g for 20 min. After centrifugation, the bacterial cells and elemental selenium were collected as a pellet for subsequent Se0 content analysis. The supernatant was passed through a 0.22 μm filter. After that, 300 μL of the supernatant was mixed with 3 mL of HNO3, left overnight, and passed through the 0.22 μm filter again. The samples were then diluted to the appropriate selenium concentration and subjected to ICP-OES analysis.

Comprehensive Characterization of Acid Recovery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The determination of the composition was undertaken via potentiometric alkalimetry for measuring the free acid content, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES), coupled with optical emission spectroscopy (both Thermo Fischer Scientific GmbH, Bremen, Germany), was used for measuring the metallic ion concentration by the method of a calibration curve. Standard samples had concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1; 5, 10, and 100 ppm. Chloride anions were measured using the isotachophoresis method on an Agrofor device (JZD Odra, Krmelín, Czech Republic).
The main parameters measured during the acid-recovery experiments were electrical conductivity, density, volumetric flow, and mass flow. Electrical conductivity was determined using a TetraCon 925/LV-P probe (Xylem Analytics WTW, Weilheim, Germany) connected to a WTW 3430 Multimeter (Xylem Analytics WTW, Germany). Density was measured with a portable hand-held Densito 30PX density meter (Mettler Toledo, Chiyoda, Japan). A KERN 572 balance (Kern & Sohn GmbH, Balingen, Germany), cylinder, and a timer were used to determine the mass flow.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
