Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for TiO2 Nanotube Array Films by Codoping with Tungsten and Nitrogen by Min Zhang, Juan Wu, DanDan Lu, Jianjun Yang

“…The mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to (i) increasing number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of TNAs after the hydrothermal treatment, (ii) a strong W-N synergistic interaction leads to produce new states, narrow the band gap which decrease the recombination effectively, and then greatly increase the visible light absorption and photocatalytic activity; (iii) W ions with changing valences in all codoped samples which are considered to act as trapping sites, effectively decrease the recombination rate of electrons and holes, and improve the photocatalytic activity.…”

Study on the Ground Movement in an Open-Pit Mine in the Case of Combined Surface and Underground Mining by Zhenwei Wang, Gaofeng Song, Kuo Ding

“…The results show the following: (1) the failure of the competent strong roof creates an inverse arch-shaped rock block structure, which compacts the loose rock fragments in the caved zone; (2) a bed separation occurs above the inverse structure at the top of the disturbed strata configuration and extends upward with the face advance until it approaches the continuous bending zone; (3) more intensive strata movement and ground damages are produced by the large-scale multiseam mining operations, while regular and more distinct strata zones in the disturbed configuration are identified for less intensive single-seam mining; and (4) the intensive and massive underground mining activities increase the slope strata movement at the surface mining side. …”
