We examined the effects of crystallinity and crystal morphology on surface hydroxyl concentration of goethite using four kinds of goethite samples prepared by aging a hydrous ferric oxide (ferrihydrite) at different temperatures ranging from 4 to 70?°C. These samples were analyzed with the following methods: powder X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analyzer, atomic force microscopy, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The first three analyses showed that the goethite aged at lower temperature has lower crystallinity, smaller particle size and lower aspect ratio. The ATR-FTIR analysis revealed that the OH-stretching band of goethite aged at 4?°C moves to slightly higher wavenumber than those of the samples aged at higher temperatures. Their XPS analyses demonstrated that variation in the concentration of surface hydroxyl group ranges from 6.6 (nm^?2) for the sample aged at 4?°C to 7.7 (nm^?2) for the sample aged at 70?°C. Considering the analytical depth of the XPS (~5?nm), photoelectrons are emitted from the uppermost layers of the analyte. Hence, XPS results are interpreted to reflect variations in the morphology of fine crystals (<100?nm thick). The morphology of the present goethites can be characterized by their aspect ratio, in other words, the degree of development of (110)–(110) intersection edges at which protons preferentially accumulate. This variation in the concentration of surface hydroxyl group revealed by XPS analysis offers experimental evidence for the effects of crystallinity and morphology on the surface chemical properties of goethite.  相似文献   

A new high-stress undrained ring-shear apparatus and its application to the 1792 Unzen–Mayuyama megaslide in Japan

Sassa and others in the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, developed a series of undrained ring-shear apparatus to physically simulate landslide initiation and motion, from DPRI-3 (Sassa 1992) to DPRI-7 (Sassa et al., Landslides 1(1):7–19, 2004). The maximum undrained capacities in the DPRI series ranged from 300 to 650 kPa. Sassa and others in the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) have developed a new series of undrained ring-shear apparatus (ICL-1and ICL-2) for two projects of the International Programme on Landslides (IPL-161 and IPL-175). Both projects are supported by the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development Program (SATREPS) of Japan. ICL-1 was developed to create a compact and transportable apparatus for practical use in Croatia; one set was donated to Croatia in 2012. ICL-2 was developed in 2012–2013 to simulate the initiation and motion of megaslides of more than 100 m in thickness. The successful undrained capacity of ICL-2 is 3 MPa. This apparatus was applied to simulate possible conditions for the initiation and motion of the 1792 Unzen–Mayuyama megaslide (volume, 3.4?×?10⁸ m³; maximum depth, 400 m) triggered by an earthquake. The megaslide and resulting tsunami killed about 15,000 people. The Unzen Restoration Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) of Japan systematically collected various papers and reports and published two summary leaflets: one in English in 2002 and an extended version in Japanese in 2003. Samples were taken from the source area (for initiation) and the moving area (for motion). The hazard area was estimated by the integrated landslide simulation model LS-RAPID, using parameters obtained with the ICL-2 undrained ring-shear apparatus. The estimated hazard area agrees reasonably with the landslide moving area reported in the Ministry leaflets.  相似文献   

Relationship between surface morphology and chemical composition of spheroidal carbonaceous particles within sediment core samples recovered from Osaka Bay,Japan

Spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) are produced by the high-temperature combustion of fossil fuels and are emitted to the atmosphere. Previous studies are divided regarding whether SCPs derived from the combustion of various fossil fuels can be identified based on their surface morphologies and chemical compositions. In this study, we examined the surface morphology and chemical composition of SCPs in sediment core samples collected from Osaka Bay, Japan, with the aim of evaluating the usefulness of SCPs morphology in identifying their origin. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations reveal three distinct surface morphologies: (1) smooth, (2) rough and irregular, and (3) convoluted and layered. According to a morphological classification scheme proposed previously, the former two morphologies correspond to coal-derived carbon particles, whereas the latter corresponds to oil-derived carbon particles. In terms of the chemical compositions of the particles with different morphologies, as analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy, linear discriminant analysis reveals that the two fuel types can be distinguished. An overall success rate of >90% of reference of morphologically classified material correctly assigned to two groups that are chemically different each other, indicating a relationship between surface morphology and chemical composition. This result suggests that morphological characterization based on conventional SEM observations is useful in identifying the source fuel of SCPs.  相似文献   

Monte Carlo study on distortion of the space-dimension in COBE monopole data     

Minoru Biyajima  Takuya Mizoguchi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2014,350(1):317-323

A concise explanation of studies on distortion of space-time dimension is briefly introduced. Second we obtain the limits (i.e., bounded values) of the dimensionless chemical potential μ, the Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) effect y and distortion of the space-dimension ε by Monte Carlo (MC) analysis of the parameter set (T, d=3+ε, μ, and y) in cosmic microwave data assuming that the SZ effect is positive (y>0). In this analysis, the magnitude of the space-dimension d with distortion of the space-dimension ε is defined by d=3+ε. The limits of μ and y are determined as |μ|<9×10^?5 (2σ) (μ=(?3.9±2.6)×10^?5 (σ)), |y|<5×10^?6 (2σ) (y=(2.0±1.4)×10^?6 (σ)), while the distortion of the space-dimension is |ε|<6×10^?5 (2σ) (ε=(?0.78±2.50)×10^?5 (σ)). The magnitudes of these three estimated limits are ordered as . The estimated limit of |y|<5×10^?6 appears to be related to re-ionization processes occurring at redshift z _ri ～10. We also present data analysis assuming a relativistic SZ effect.  相似文献   

The spatial and temporal distributions of spheroidal carbonaceous particles from sediment core samples from industrial cities in Japan and China     

Eri Hirakawa  Akiko Murakami-Kitase  Takamoto Okudaira  Jun Inoue  Hideo Yamazaki  Shusaku Yoshikawa 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,64(3):833-840

Spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) are produced by the high-temperature combustion of fossil fuels and emitted in to the atmosphere. The distribution and concentration of SCPs in sediments have been used as a proxy for the distribution of pollutants emitted to the atmosphere. However, the effect on the distribution of SCPs due to industrial activity at nearby industrial cities is yet to be quantified. To clarify the origin of SCPs of ~20 μm in size that are preserved in sediments, we evaluated the abundance, surface morphology, and chemical composition of SCPs in sediment core samples recovered from industrial cities in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagasaki) and China (Beijing), with the cities being located at least ~500 km away from each other. Vertical profiles of SCP concentration in sediment cores from the Japanese cities and Beijing are different, reflecting the contrasting industrial histories of the two countries. The SCPs from different cities show contrasting morphological and chemical characteristics, suggesting that ~20 μm SCPs in sediments from the industrial cities could represent the local combustion history in detail, as the influx of local SCPs is dominant at such sites.  相似文献   

Strain localization in soft rock—a typical rate‐dependent solid: experimental and numerical studies     

A. R. Bhandari  J. Inoue 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2005,29(11):1087-1107

Strain localization developing inside soft rock specimens is examined through experimental observation and numerical simulation. In the experimental study, soft rock specimens are sheared at different strain rates under plane strain conditions and deformation and strain localization characteristics are analysed. Transition of localization mode from highly localized mode for higher strain rate to distributed and diffused mode of strain localization for lower strain rates was observed. In the numerical study, simulations of plane strain compression tests are carried out at different strain rates by using an overstressed‐type elasto‐viscoplastic model in finite element computations. The role of strain rates on setting gradients of strain fields across shear band is clarified. The probable mechanism for transition of localization mode is discussed.

He,Ne and Ar in peridotitic and eclogitic paragenesis diamonds from the Jwaneng kimberlite,Botswana—Implications for mantle evolution and diamond formation ages     

Masahiko Honda  David Phillips  Jeff W. Harris  Takuya Matsumoto 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2011,301(1-2):43-51

We have undertaken helium, neon and argon step-heating, isotopic analyses of eleven polycrystalline diamonds of known peridotite/eclogite paragenesis from the Jwaneng kimberlite pipe, Botswana. In contrast to the findings of crustal noble gases in framesites from the same kimberlite pipe (Honda et al., 2004. Unusual noble gas compositions in polycrystalline diamonds: preliminary results from the Jwaneng kimberlite, Botswana. Chem. Geol. 203, 347–358.), the Jwaneng polycrystalline diamonds appear to contain similar noble gas isotopic compositions (particularly Ne) to those representing a mantle source for MORBs. This implies that the Jwaneng polycrystalline diamonds may have formed in recent times, possibly close to the time of kimberlite emplacement at ~ 235 Ma. In contrast, Jwaneng framesites could be as old as gem diamonds (mineral inclusion ages of ~ 2.9 Ga). Furthermore, the data indicate that the sub-continental mantle lithosphere in the region has heterogeneous Ne isotopic compositions, or that these compositions changed over time from crustal Ne (as observed in the framesites) to MORB-like (as observed in the polycrystalline diamonds).  相似文献
