The electrochemical behavior of Zr(IV) on a molybdenum (Mo) electrode in a KF-AlF 3 -Al 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 molten salt system was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and chronopotentiometry (CP). The reduction process of Zr(IV) was found to follow a two-step, two-electron transfer mechanism: Zr(IV)+2e − →Zr(II) and Zr(II)+2e − →Zr(0). The reduction process was quasi-reversible and controlled by diffusion. Al-Zr alloys were successfully obtained on Mo and liquid aluminum electrodes by potentiostatic electrodeposition . Flower-like AlZr 3 and irregular granular Al 3 Zr were obtained on the Mo electrode, which were mainly attributed to the electrochemical co-reduction of Al(III) and Zr(IV) in the molten salt. Three Al-Zr alloy phases, Al 3 Zr , Al 3 Zr 2, and Al 2 Zr, were obtained on the liquid aluminum electrode, among which Al 3 Zr was dominant in the product, followed by Al 3 Zr 2 .

To investigate the effect of the chemical composition of a metal–organic crosslinker on the performances of fracturing fluid in high-temperature conditions, four zirconium (Zr) crosslinkers and one aluminum–zirconium (Al-Zr) crosslinker with a polyacrylamide were used. The crosslinkers possessed the same Zr concentration, but they differed in component amounts and the order of the addition of the crosslinker components, leading to different chemical compositions in the crosslinkers. The fracturing fluids prepared by different tested crosslinkers were compared in terms of properties of rheological behavior, sand-carrying ability, microstructure, and gel breaking characteristics. The results showed that the fracturing fluids prepared by zirconium lactic acid, ethanediamine, and sorbitol crosslinkers offered the slowest viscosity development and highest final viscosity compared to the zirconium lactic acid crosslinker and the zirconium lactic acid and ethanediamine crosslinker. The zirconium sorbitol, lactic acid, and ethanediamine crosslinker exhibited a faster crosslinking rate and a higher final viscosity than the zirconium lactic acid, ethanediamine, and sorbitol crosslinker; the crosslinker showed crosslinking density and crosslinking reactivity, resulting in more crosslinking sites and a higher strength in the fracturing fluid. The Al-Zr-based crosslinker possessed better properties in temperature and shear resistance, viscoelasticity, shear recovery, and sand-carrying ability than the Zr-based crosslinker due to the synergistic crosslinking effect of aluminum and zirconium ions. The tertiary release gelation mechanism of the Al-Zr-based fracturing fluid achieved a temperature resistance performance in the form of continuous crosslinking, avoiding the excessive crosslinking dehydration and reducing viscosity loss caused by early shear damage. These results indicated that the chemical compositions of metal–organic crosslinkers were important factors in determining the properties of fracturing fluids. Therefore, the appropriate type of crosslinker could save costs without adding the additional components required for high-temperature reservoirs.

The cBN, Zr, and Al powders were mixed to synthesize PcBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) tool material under high-temperature, ultra-high-pressure conditions. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the phase composition and microstructure of the tool material. The mechanical properties and microstructural trends of the tool material at various temperatures were investigated. Research indicates the formation of new phases in the PcBN material following high-temperature and ultra-high-pressure sintering. However, there is no significant difference in the types of formed new phases, all of which consist of BN, ZrB 2 , ZrN, and AlN. The sintering density of the tool material was higher at 1500 °C and 1600 °C, and the mechanical properties improved with increasing sintering temperature . The highest number of tool processing parts made of PcBN tool material synthesized at 1600 °C is 232.

The synthesis of an Al–Zr master alloy in KF–AlF 3 –ZrO 2 molten salt by combining aluminothermic reduction and molten salt electrolysis processes was studied. The effects of reduction parameters such as stirring, reaction time, Al/ZrO 2 mass ratio and temperature on the Zr content and Zr recovery rate were studied and optimized. Under the optimal conditions of stirring, reaction time of 4 h, Al/ZrO 2 mass ratio of 3 and temperature of 960 °C, an Al–Zr master alloy can be obtained with a Zr content of 6.78 wt% and Zr recovery rate of 29.85%. The characterization results of the alloy show that the main phases contain Al and Al 3 Zr. And the Al 3 Zr appears as long rod-shaped or tetragonal shapes, which influenced by the Zr content and cooling rate. In addition, the reduced molten salt is electrolyzed to further extract Zr from the molten salt. The results show that the Zr remaining in the molten salt is completely recovered with a Zr recovery rate up to 94.72%. This two-step process is feasible for the large-scale extraction of Zr in molten salts to produce Al–Zr master alloys.

In this paper, a novel type of adsorbent was prepared by loading Al/Zr onto carboxymethyl starch sodium to generate CMS–Al, CMS–Zr or CMS–Al–Zr. The adsorbents were tested for removal of fluoride by batch adsorption experiments under various conditions. It was found that CMS–Al–Zr performed well over a considerably wide pH range of 4–10. The adsorption process could be described by a Langmuir isotherm model and Lagergren pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity for CMS–Al–Zr (60.61 mg g−1) was higher than CMS–Al (51.44 mg g−1) and CMS–Zr (40.23 mg g−1) due to synergistic interactions between Al and Zr. SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR and XPS studies revealed the Al/Zr loading process and mechanism of fluoride adsorption. The results showed that the metal complex was coordinated to the –COO group of CMS through ion exchange of sodium during the loading process.

Chrome-free eco-leather manufacture is inevitable in sustainable development of the leather industry. Herein, oxidized sodium lignosulfonate (OSL) was prepared using H 2 O 2 and CuSO 4 catalyst as a biomass-derived tanning agent. H 2 O 2 oxidation of OSL breaks the aliphatic side-chain β -O-4′, β -5′, and β - β ’ linkages, transforms the adjacent phenolic hydroxyl group and methoxy group on the benzene ring into carboxyl groups and reduces the colority. OSL120 (120% H 2 O 2 , M w 1498) containing moderate carboxyl (6.27 mmol/g) and phenolic hydroxyl (0.18 mmo/g) appropriately coordinates with aluminum–zirconium salts (AZ), thereby promoting the uniform penetration of OSL–AZ complexes into the leather matrix. Moreover, OSL120 provides essential hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds interactions with collagen to form a rigid multi-point crosslinking network among collagen fibers. Thus, chrome-free tanned leather shows natural flesh color and shrinkage temperature up to 89.5 ℃, and crust leather with satisfactory physical properties are achieved. This work gives new insights into the low-carbon leather manufacture with lignin-based tanning system and provides a novel approach for the resource utilization of sodium lignosulfonate.

N ickle (Ni)-rich layered oxides as promising candidate of high-capacity cathode materials have aroused extensive concern primarily regarding their higher specific capacity. However, the major hurdle of Ni-rich cathodes (Ni content ≥0.7) is their poor cycling stability, which often suffers from the release of oxygen, structural degradation and increased impedance during cycling, especially at high voltage or high temperature. Herein, we demonstrated a feasible solid phase method for easy industrialization based on the Al 3+ /Zr 4+ co-doping in LiNi 0.72 Co 0.05 Mn 0.23 O 2 (A X Z Y -NCM) single-crystal cathode. The optimized A 0.5 Z 0.5 -NCM single-crystal material exhibited greatly enhanced structural and thermal stability. XRD refinement results indicated that both Al 3+ and Zr 4+ were mainly located in transition metal (TM) sites, strengthening the layered structure through strong M-O bonds and inhibiting cation mixing. In-situ XRD revealed that the synergistic rivet effect of Al/Zr co-doping alleviates anisotropic lattice stress-strain during charge/discharge process. Accordingly, the A 0.5 Z 0.5 -NCM cathode can output a high initial capacity of 177.3 mAh g −1 at 1 C, and captured a more desirable capacity retention of 85.10 % than that of U-NCM (74.33 %) at 1 C over 200 cycles. Even at a high voltage of 4.5 V, its capacity retention can still reach 82.37 %, significantly surpassing the unmodified U-NCM (31.0 %). The above results demonstrated that well-designed dual doping is highly effective for strengthen structure stability and cycling performance of Ni-rich cathodes.

This work addresses the manufacturing of a pioneering chrome-free tanning agent, consisting of ‘Al–Zr-oligosaccharides’ produced from biomass. First, a microwave-assisted AlCl3–H2O2–H2O reaction system was used for the simultaneous degradation and oxidation of hemicellulose in corncob. The obtained aqueous solution containing ‘Al-oligosaccharides’ was then combined with Zr to produce water-soluble ‘Al–Zr-oligosaccharides’. These species behaved as a ‘Trojan horse’, allowing the uniform and controlled penetration of Al and Zr into the leather, avoiding their accumulation on the surface. The effects of the reaction temperature and the AlCl3 and H2O2 concentrations used during the synthesis were systematically analyzed. Increases in the temperature and AlCl3 concentration improved the hemicellulose conversion, while the use of high H2O2 concentrations augmented the amounts of –CHO/–COOH functionalities in the oligosaccharides, with both phenomena being paramount for the efficient formation of ‘Al–Zr-oligosaccharides’. However, more severe reaction conditions led to the formation of an undesirable species, negatively influencing the tanning performance and chromaticity of the tanning agent. Given this, these parameters were optimized, and it was found that it is possible to convert up to 72 wt% of the hemicellulose present in corncob into an ‘advanced Trojan horse tanning agent’ contained in a colorless water solution, conducting the synthesis at 129 °C with a solvent comprising 56 mM AlCl3 and 2.6 vol% H2O2. The application of this solution for leather tanning provided leather with a shrinkage temperature as high as 87 °C, thus meeting the restrictive requirements of the leather industry. Therefore, these results are a landmark achievement in this field and represent a step forward to a sustainable and renewable leather industry.

In this work, polymeric aluminum zirconium chloride (PAZC), a defluoridating flocculant, was prepared using calcium aluminate and zirconium tetrachloride as the main materials, and its defluoridation performance was evaluated. At pH 7 and PAZC dosage (Zr) of 50 mg•L −1 , the flocculation and defluorination rates of PAZC in simulated fluorinated wastewater with initial fluoride ion concentrations of 10, 8, and 5 mg•L −1 were 90.90%, 89.38%, and 92.2%, respectively, and the residual fluoride ion concentration in the solution was reduced to 0.91, 0.85, and 0.39 mg•L −1 , respectively. The degree of the effects of the same concentration of anions on the flocculation and fluoride removal performance of PAZC was in the order of SiO 3 2− >PO 4 3− >CO 3 2− >NO 3 − >Cl − >SO 4 2− . Characterization results indicated that PAZC was a polymer containing hydroxyl bonds of zirconium–aluminum metal ions, and the surface of PAZC had a tight, dense, porous nature. Under optimum flocculation conditions, the average particle size of the flocs obtained after fluoride removal by PAZC flocculation was 2.54 μm, and the flocculation mechanism was dominated by adsorption, electro-neutralization, and ion exchange when the dosage of the PAZC was 40–50 mg•L −1 and the pH was 5–7. It is proved that the composite flocculant PAZC has good application prospects and can provide guidance for the treatment of actual fluorine-containing wastewater.

A novel type of inorganic polymer coagulant, polyaluminum zirconium silicate sulfate (PAZS), was synthesized via co-polymerization. In the treatment of kaolin-humic acid synthetic water, it was found to be most effective when Si/(Zr + Al) = 1, OH/(Al + Zr) = 0.1, and Al/Zr = 3. Through CCD design, zeta potential and floc analysis, PAZS showed excellent coagulation and sedimentation performance in an experimental pH range of 3∼8. The prepared composite coagulant PAZS was characterized by FTIR , XRD, and SEM. Results indicate that PAZS is a highly polymerized complex with rough folded surfaces. The adsorption bridging effect and charge characteristics enabled PAZS to function in an acidic environment. The findings from the research conducted indicate that PAZS is a promising coagulant for efficient water treatment .
