The resultant material possesses highly ordered mesoporous structure with large surface area, uniform pore size, excellent thermal stability, quick magnetic response, and desirable acids resistance, confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), N_2 adsorption/desorption experiments, powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD), and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). Detailed U(VI) sorption test indicated that this material is indeed an effective U(VI) sorbent with fast sorption kinetics of less than 2 h, large sorption capacity of 160 mg/g at p H 5.0±0.1, and desirable selectivity towards U(VI) ions over a range of competing metal ions. The absorbed U(VI) can be easily desorbed by 0.01 mol/L or more concentrated HNO_3 solution, and the reclaimed sorbent can be reused with no obvious decrease of sorption capacity even after 4 sorption-desorption cycles. The present results suggest the vast opportunities of this kind of magnetic composite on the solid-phase extraction of U(VI).展开更多

We define an imaging signal-to-noise ratio called SNRtranwhere only the object’s transmission region is used to evaluate the imaging quality and it can be applied to ghost imaging(GI) with any random pattern. Both the values SNRtran GIof GI and SNRtran CIof conventional imaging in photon shot noise cases are deduced from a simple statistical analysis. The analytical results, which are backed up by numerical simulations, demonstrate that the value SNRtran GIis related to the ratio between the object’s transmission area Aoand the number density of photons illuminating the object plane Io, which is similar to the theoretical results based on the first principle of GI with a Gaussian speckle field deduced by B. I. Erkmen and J. H. Shapiro [in Adv. Opt. Photonics 2, 405–450(2010)]. In addition, we also show that the value SNRtran CIwill be larger than SNRtran GIwhen Ao is beyond a threshold value.展开更多
