Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing functional layers, in particular wear protection and/or anti-corrosion layers, on the surfaces of workpieces. The aim of the invention is to provide possibilities for producing functional layers on workpiece surfaces, wherein a wide variety of functional layers can be produced easily, flexibly and cost-effectively and no influence of the actual workpiece material is triggered. In the method according to the invention, a film-shaped preliminary product formed of a polymer, with metal particles being embedded in said product, is positioned with respect to a surface region of a workpiece to be provided with a functional layer and brought in contact with the surface. Subsequently, the surface is irradiated with a laser beam or electron beam, while simultaneously performing a relative movement of the workpiece and laser or electron beam. During the irradiation, organic components of the preliminary product are thermally decomposed and the metal is at least partially melted, whereby the functional layer is formed. The thermal decomposition starts prior to the melting.

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal powder mixture and particularly advantageous uses of such a metal powder mixture. It is common to use such metal powder mixtures made of metal and metal alloy powders in order to be able to produce active agents with a certain alloy composition. The aim of the invention is to provide a metal powder mixture, by means of which a material may be obtained that is formed from a metal alloy subsequent to a heat treatment in a cost-effective manner, in that the individual alloy- or metal-forming components (alloy and element powders) are distributed in a more homogenous manner. In a second aspect the invention seeks to reduce the maximum temperature required for the production of the material during heat treatment. The metal powder mixture is formed from at least two different powder fractions. A first metal is contained in the first powder fraction, wherein the beginning of a phase conversion takes place in conjunction with the further alloy components contained therein at a temperature that is at least 200 K lower than the beginning of the melting of a material to be formed from the metal powder mixture by means of heat treatment. The first powder fraction has a mean particle size of less than 45 μm. A second powder fraction is formed with a second metal, and has a mean particle size of less than 10 μm.

RECOVERY OF MOLYBDENUM FROM MOLYBDENUM BEARING SULFIDE MATERIALS BY BIOLEACHING IN THE PRESENCE OF IRON

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of recovering molybdenum from a molybdenum bearing sulfide material. The material is contacted with a leaching solution in the presence of iron compounds and mesophilic or thermophilic iron oxidizing microorganisms and subsequently, a leaching process is performed by controlling the molar ratio of dissolved ferric iron to dissolved molybdenum. Preferably, a high amount and molar excess of dissolved iron is used. The presence of high concentrations of ferric iron in bioleach solutions allows iron-oxidizing microorganisms to grow and oxidize iron and bioleach molybdenite at dissolved Mo concentrations as high as 4.4 g/L. Organic metabolites were not required for protecting cells from Mo toxicity. Maximum dissolution rates depend on reactor configuration, with agglomerated material simulating heap leaching of almost 1% Mo/day, but up to 10.2% Mo/day in suspension/stirred reactor configurations, with rate highly dependent on temperature within the range of 25°C to 40°C. The ultimate extent of Mo removal from the molybdenum bearing sulfide material is 89%. Finally, molybdenum is recovered from a leach residue of the leaching process.

Abstract

The invention relates to electroluminescent light-emitting devices, characterized in that they contain at least one conductive polymer layer as electrode, thereby preventing an extended use of a transparent oxide or a metal layer. The combination of said layer with a doped thin layer made of oligomers (small-molecules) is particularly advantageous. According to the invention, the construction of organic electroluminescent light-emitting devices is considerably simplified, and the production process can be performed in a more efficient manner. A feature of the invention is the utilization of the high conductivity of the polymer layer and the extraordinary smoothing properties of the polymer/oligomer combination as a functional layer. Due to the high transparency, the layer combination can be used as an electrode in an organic light diode or as a separately contactable intermediate electrode in a pile of organic materials. Due to the good interface properties, this functional layer has a considerable advantage over other formulations with regard to increased efficiency and service life.

Abstract

A process for producing an aqueous dispersion which contains a conductive polymer ingredient and is capable of forming a thin conductive film excellent in transparency and conductivity; and an aqueous dispersion obtained by the process. The process comprises a step in which a 3,4-dialkoxythiophene is polymerized in an aqueous medium in the presence of a polyanion with the aid of an oxidizing agent. In this step, the oxidizing agent is added by dropping a solution or dispersion of the oxidizing agent into the reaction mixture. Alternatively, the concentration of alkali metal ions in the reaction mixture in the polymerization step is kept at 400 ppm or lower.
