A new process for extracting vanadium by direct calcification using the heat of molten vanadium slag by Qu J.-W., Zhang T.-A., Lv G.-Z., Chen Y.

“…When the mass ratio of Ca to V was 0.75, under the optimal acid leaching conditions (particle size of calcified vanadium slag less than 0.075 mm, leaching temperature 90 ℃, H2SO4 concentration 200 g.L-1, liquid-to-solid ratio 6:1 ml.g-1, leaching time 60 min, and stirring speed 300r.min-1), the leaching rate of vanadium from calcified vanadium slag could exceed 90%. The new process not only saved energy and reduced emissions, but also reached the average level of the existing vanadium extraction process.…”

Aggregation‐induced circularly polarized luminescence and delayed fluorescence enabled by activating high‐level reverse intersystem crossing by Ke Wang, Xinwen Ou, Xiaofei Niu, Zhenghao Wang, Fengyan Song, Xiaobin Dong, Wu‐jie Guo, Hui‐Qing Peng, Zujin Zhao, Jacky W. Y. Lam, Jianwei Sun, Hongkai Wu, Shu‐Yan Yu, Fei Li, Ben Zhong Tang

“…Circularly polarized delayed fluorescence was found to be enabled by activating high‐level reverse intersystem crossing (hRISC). The anti‐Kasha phosphorescence at 77 K proves that the exciton has a large population in the high‐lying triplet state T2, which allows the effective hRISC process to cross back to the singlet state S1 and emit delayed fluorescence. …”
