Li3Mg（2x）V（2-2x）（PO4）3/C（x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2） composites were synthesized by carbothermic reduction,using a self-made MgNH4PO4/MgHPO4 compound as Mg-doping agent.X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscope（SEM）,electrochemical performance tests were employed to investigate the effect of Mg doping on Li3V2（PO4）3/C samples.The results showed that a proper quantity of Mg doping was beneficial to the reduction of charge transfer resistance of Li3V2（PO4）3/C compound without changing the lattice structure,which led to larger charge/discharge capacity and better cycle performance especially at high current density.Li3Mg（2x）V（2-2x）（PO4）3/C sample with x=0.05 exhibited a better performance with initial charge/discharge capacity of146/128 mA·h/g and discharge capacity of 115 mA·h/g at 5C,while these two figures were 142/118 mA·h/g and 90 mA·h/g respectively for samples without Mg doping,indicating that a proper amount of doped Mg can improve the electrochemical performance of LVP sample.All of these proved that,as a trial Mg dopant,the synthesized MgNH4PO4/MgHPO4 compound exhibited well doping effect.
The removal of tungsten(W)and vanadium(V)from molybdate solutions was studied using the poly hydroxyl chelating resin D403in batch and column experiments.The batch experiments indicated that tungsten and vanadium could be preferentially adsorbed by the D403resin for4h in molybdate solution at a pH of approximately9.25.Separation factors,αVMo andαWMo,wereabove45and18,respectively,when the molar ratios of Mo/V and Mo/W in the solution exceeded40.Elution tests illustrated that vanadium and tungsten could be easily eluted from the resin with1mol/L sodium hydroxide solution in only1h.To further explore the sorption mechanism of the resin,the experimental equilibrium isotherm data of the three metals fitted well with the Freundlich model.The column experiments confirmed the adaptability of the D403resin in the production of sodium molybdate with a removal rate of tungsten surpassing90%and that of vanadium of99.4%.
