Jing-Hong Li, You-Wei Gan, Jun-Xian Chen, Rui-Biao Lin, Yisi Yang, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen, Xiao-Ming Chen
Separating acetylene from carbon dioxide is important but highly challenging due to their similar molecular shapes and physical properties. Adsorptive separation of carbon dioxide from acetylene can directly produce pure acetylene but is hardly realized

Effects of hydrogen on the evolution of 4130 steel microstructure as a result of tensile loading

July 12, 2024
