Micropollutants are found in all water sources, even after thorough treatments that include membrane filtration. We have developed swellable di-sulfide covalent organic polymers (COPs) with great affinity towards cationic textile micropollutants.
The microstructure, microhardness, and oxidation resistance of ternary model Ni-13Al--2Y (at.%) and Ni-11Al-4Y (at.%) superalloys were studied in detail. The microstructures of alloys consisted of primary γ-Ni dendrites and residual eutectic. The Ni17Y2 intermetallic and γ-Ni were the major constituents of the eutectic phase mixture. The microhardness value of Ni-11Al-4Y alloy was higher than that of Ni-13Al-2Y alloy because of the higher amount of relatively harder eutectic. With increasing Y concentration from 2 to 4 at.%, the mass gain, oxide scale thickness, and oxidation rate remarkably increased. For both alloys, the oxide scale was comprised of three layers: NiO as a surface layer, Al2O3 as an inner layer in the metal/oxide interface, and mixed Al/Y oxides as an internal layer. Although the studied alloys exhibited fairly good scale adherence in conjunction with almost no important scale spallation, they exhibited faster oxidation kinetics along with higher mass gains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
