Abstract: Disclosed are a grain boundary and surface-loaded noble metal catalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof. The noble metal is dispersed at the grain boundary and surface of alumina and/or a rare earth manganese-zirconium composite oxide to form a multiphase interface, which achieves the following beneficial technical effects: firstly, the multiphase interface has a larger steric hindrance and a stronger anchoring effect, which can inhibit the migration, agglomeration, and growth of the noble metal at high temperatures, increase the high-temperature stability and catalytic performance of the noble metal, and reduce the usage of the noble metal; secondly, the multiphase interface exhibits a synergistic catalytic effect, which can reduce the activation energy of lattice oxygen and increase the quantity of active oxygen, thereby enhancing the NO oxidation and low-temperature catalytic activity.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for interactive pose-based graphic effects. The method includes receiving an image including at least one object having a pose, the pose defined by an orientation and a position of the object within the image. A set of key joint data that represents the orientation and position of one or more points of interest associated with the object is generated. A vector representation of the set of key joint data is created for classifying one or more additional images that each include a candidate pose. One or more additional images are received. A match is detected between one of the candidate poses in the one or more additional images and the pose by comparing the vector representation of the set of key joint data to the candidate pose. A visual effect is generated based on the match.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide with a core-shell structure and a preparation method thereof, a catalyst system using the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide, a catalytic converter for purifying tail gas by using the catalyst system, and application of the catalyst system or the catalytic converter in motor vehicle exhaust purification, industrial waste gas treatment or catalytic combustion. In the present invention, the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide with a core-shell structure oxygen storage material is prepared by a step-by-step precipitation method. On the one hand, yttrium and a part of zirconium and cerium are precipitated on a cerium-zirconium surface, where the post-precipitation of yttrium is to segregate yttrium ions (Y3+) on a grain boundary surface, thus reducing lattice surface energy, pinning the grain boundary surface, making the migration of the grain boundary surface difficult, controlling the growth of grains.

Abstract: A process for pretreating organic extractants and its product and application in SX separation of rare earth. The pretreating method is that extractant and rare earth solution are mixed with powder or slurry of alkaline earth metal compound containing magnesium and/or calcium to realize pre-extraction, or the organic extractant are mixed with rare earth carbonate slurry to realize pre-extraction. When rare earth ion in aqueous phase is extracted into organic phase, the exchanged hydrogen ions enter into aqueous phase and dissolve the alkaline earth metal compound or the rare earth carbonate which helps to keep the acidity equilibrium of the system. The obtained organic extractant loaded with rare earth is used for unsaponificated SX separation of rare earth. With this method, there is no need to saponificate organic extractant with liquid ammonia or alkali, and there is no ammonia-nitrogen wastewater produced. So separation cost decrease at a large scale and a lot of the cost to treat the three wastes is cut.
