摘要:
Nanoscale particles, particle coatings/particle arrays and corresponding consolidated materials are described based on an ability to vary the composition involving a wide range of metal and/or metalloid elements and corresponding compositions. In particular, metalloid oxides and metal-metalloid compositions are described in the form of improved nanoscale particles and coatings formed from the nanoscale particles. Compositions comprising rare earth metals and dopants/additives with rare earth metals are described. Complex compositions with a range of host compositions and dopants/additives can be formed using the approaches described herein. The particle coating can take the form of particle arrays that range from collections of disbursable primary particles to fused networks of primary particles forming channels that reflect the nanoscale of the primary particles. Suitable materials for optical applications are described along with some optical devices of interest.

IN AN OPERATION WHEREIN SELENIUM VALUES ARE RECOVERED FROM PELLETIZED SELEMIUM-CONTAINING MATERIALS INVOLVING HEATING PELLETIZED SELENIUM-CONTAINING MATERIALS IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR SO AS TO VOLATILIZE THE SELENIUM FROM SAID PELLETIZED SELENIUM-CONTAINING MATERIALS IN THE FORM OF SELENIUM DIOXIDE, IMPROVED RESULTS ARE OBTAINED BY EMPLOYING AN APPARATUS WHEREIN A MASS OF PELLETIZED SELENNIUM-CONTAINING MATERIAL IS MAINTAINED STATIC WITHIN A ROASTING ZONE AND PREHEATED AIR EMPLOYED TO HEAT THE MASS OF PELLETIZED SELENIUM-CONTAINING MATERIALS IS PASSED
DOWNWARDLY THROUGH SAID MASS OF PELLETIZED SELENIUMCONTAINING MATERIALS MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 1350*F. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN THE RANGE ABOUT 1-6 HOURS SUFFICIENT TO VOLATILIZE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE SELENIUM FROM SAID PELLETIZED SELENIUM-CONTAINING MATERIALS AND THEREUPON DISCHARGING THE RESULTING SUBSTANTIALLY DESELENIZED PELLETIZED MATERIAL FROM SAID ROASTING ZONE.

The present invention is directed to an electroconductive thick film paste composition comprising Ag and a Pb-free bismuth-tellurium-oxide both dispersed in an organic medium. The present invention is further directed to an electrode formed from the paste composition and a semiconductor device and, in particular, a solar cell comprising such an electrode. The present invention is also directed to the bismuth-tellurium oxide that is a component of thick film pastes.

摘要:
A process for separately recovering platinum group metal values, nickel values and copper from nickel-copper-iron sulphidic matte containing platinum group metals includes leaching ground matte at atmospheric pressure in acidic nickel-copper sulphate solution at a temperature in the range of from about 75.degree. to about 105.degree. C. and at a pH below about 4 initially under oxidizing conditions and subsequently under neutral or non-oxidizing conditions to cause dissolution of nickel and iron, precipitation of copper as a copper sulphide and precipitation of dissolved platinum group metals. The copper, nickel and platinum group metal containing solids are separated from the nickel and iron containing sulphate solution and are leached in acidic nickel-copper sulphate solution under pressurized oxidizing conditions at a temperature of from about 120.degree. to about 180.degree. C. to cause dissolution of nickel and copper with minor dissolution of platinum group metals. The platinum group metal containing solids are separated from the nickel and copper containing sulphate solution, and copper is electrowon from the nickel and copper containing sulphate solution under conditions to cause cathodic deposition of copper without significant deposition of nickel. Spent nickel and copper containing electrolyte solution which also contains minor amounts of dissolved platinum group metals is recycled to the atmospheric leach and pressure leaching steps.
摘要:
A method for the removal and recovery of selenium from a urethane solution containing selenium compounds, which may be in the form of inorganic selenium and/or organoselenium compounds, which comprises contacting the selenium-containing urethane solution at a suitable temperature with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and recovering the selenium from the resulting selenium compound enriched aqueous phase in a form suitable for reuse in the preparation of urethanes, the deselenized urethane remaining in the hydrocarbon and/or organic phase.
