    In this study,the Reynolds-Averaged-Navies-Stokes(RANS)model combined with the Cross Viscosity Equation is applied to the soft turbulence region(Ra =5×105~4×107)and hard turbulence region(Ra>4×107)of Rayleigh-Bénard convection(RBC). The relation curves between heat transport(Nusselt number)and other parameters,as well as flow pattern changes of RBC are obtained with different Rayleigh number and the concentration of the polymer additive. The simulations show that the presence of polymer additive can lead to an enhancement of the heat transfer with larger effect area in the hard turbulence region than in the soft turbulence region. It is also shown that the shorter reversal cycles with higher reversal frequencies occur in the soft turbulence region,and the symmetric vortices in the diagonal corner of enclosed space are reduced accordingly.

    The optimization of water-using network in a complete batch process system with multiple contaminants was studied in this paper. A superstructure of water-using network and the NLP(non-linear programming)mathematical model are constructed,and the quantity of flow in each water-using process is limited between the minimum and maximum in order to accelerate convergence. In this study,storage tanks are used to bridge the time gap. First,the key contaminant in each water-using process was ascertained,and then the superstructure was simplified by eliminating the reuse and recycle of the water resource with maximum concentration of the key contaminant. Second,the model is solved by GAMS(General Algebra Model System),and then the minimum fresh water and waste water discharge are gained as well as the number and volume of central storage tanks. Third,the optimized water-using network is obtained. Two examples in literature are solved to illustrate the validity and advantages of the proposed approach,which requires fewer cycle periods of calculation and smaller number of central storage tanks than before.

    In order to understand the characteristics of high-speed water jet impact zone and effect of material crushing,the research on water cushion in impact zone and influence of material crushing has been conducted according to the theoretical analysis,numerical computation and high pressure water jet smash experiment results obtained from a self-designed afterward mixing facility with coal as main crushing material. The result shows that there is a water cushion with about 10 times of r0 in the range of target body impact area of high-speed water jet. The water cushion of the jet impact zone is unfavorable for the crushing. There is certain effect on the crushing efficiency especially  on the reduction of the low size fraction level product with increased resistance of water cushion. It is more efficient without increased resistance of water cushion. Research about increased resistance of water cushion to the reduction mechanism of water jet impact zone provides certain theory and design reference to the research practice on water jet crushing technology and equipment.

    The numerical simulation of gas-solid two phase flow field was performed for the improved feeding pipe of superfine classifier SCX based on the two-phase flow theory. The distribution regularities of gas-solid two-phase flow in the feeding pipe were obtained by analyzing the distribution of the pressure,velocity,turbulent kinetic energy of the gas phase,and the particle concentration distribution of the solid phase. Numerical results show that the radial gradient of the pressure,velocity and turbulent kinetic energy of the gas phase reduce,and the channel flow phenomena weakened by installing guide vanes. Guide vanes can impede the lateral movement of solid particles and change the particle trajectory,thus particle concentration distributions are evenly distributed,facilitating the subsequent classification.

    In this study,wheat stalk was pretreated using dilute sulphuric acid and then pyrolyzed under microwave irradiation to produce bio-oil. The products were extracted with cyclohexane,ethyl acetate,methanol and tetrahydrofuran sequentially,and the extraction solutions were analyzed with GC/ MS. The results showed that only a small number of bio-oil components existed,so it easy to separate the high added-value chemicals from the bio-oil. The relative content of 5,6-dihydropyran-2-one in the extractive by cyclohexane was 45.0%,and the relative content of furfural in all of the bio-oil was 45.6%. In addition,the relative content of acids in the bio-oil was 16.0 %,which demonstrated that the bio-oil cannot be used as fuel oil directly due to its high acid content.

    ZrO2 doped Pd/Al2O3 catalyst,in which H2PdCl4 and Zr(NO3)4 were used as a precursor and an added component respectively,was prepared. Different two step impregnation methods were used for catalyst preparation,and its catalytic activity on anthraquinone hydrogenation was investigated in different reaction conditions. It was found that the catalytic activity was influenced by the preparation methods. When the support with ZrO2 was calcinated appropriately,the load of Pd was 0.3% and reduction temperature was blow 300 ℃,the catalyst activity is about 20% higher than that of catalyst without ZrO2. The structure,specific surface area,surface topography and interaction in the components of catalyst were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),BET surface area,X ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and temperature-programmed reduction(TPR) respectively. The promotion of catalytic properties is attributed to the ZrO2 which could enhance the heat stability of Al2O3,improve the interaction in the components and make Pd diffused on the surface of catalyst.

    Micro/mesoporous ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite molecular sieves were prepared with commercial ZSM-5 zeolite as silica-alumina sources by the treatment of aqueous NaOH solution and with further hydrothermal crystallization using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMAB)as a structure-directing agent. The influence of various parameters,especially the temperature of the treatment and/or that of the crystallization processes on the crystallization and the morphology of the micro/mesoporous composites has been investigated. The obtained composite materials were further prepared to become catalysts and their catalytic performance on the dehydration of ethanol was carefully illustrated. The results show that micro/mesoporous ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite can be successfully obtained by a two-step method and the optimal condition is that ZSM-5 zeolite was firstly treated at 110 ℃ in a 2.0 mol/L aqueous NaOH solution for 20 h and further crystallized under 110℃ for 20h. H-type catalysts were prepared by ion exchange of the prepared micro/mesoporous ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite with NH4NO3 solution. They show wonderful catalytic performance on the dehydration of ethanol. The conversion of ethanol and the selectivity of ethylene is up to 99% and 96% respectively when the reaction temperature ranges from 240 to 255 ℃ under 0.5 h-1 weight hourly space velocity(WHSV)of ethanol.

    The effects of adding La2O3 to Ni/γ-Al2O3-cordierite structured catalysts on their performance of the hydrogenation reaction of m-dinitrobenzene to m-phenylenediamine were investigated. The Ni catalysts modified by La2O3 were prepared by a coating method and an impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by BET,XRD,TPR and XPS. It was found that the active components of the catalyst before and after adding La2O3 were in the form of NiAl2O4 ,the forms of NiAl2O4 and Ni,respectively. Adding La2O3 to the catalysts could increase the quantity of the easily reduced Ni,and further improved the catalytic activity. Although adding La decreased the surface areas of the catalysts,the pore structure was improved. The catalyst activity depended on the contents of La2O3. Ni/γ-Al2O3-cordierite structured catalysts with La2O3 of 3% exhibited better catalytic activity and selectivity.

    Three kinds of well studied α/β compounded nucleating agents(NAs),phosphate/amide,sorbitol/amide,and phosphate/carboxylate were selected to investigate their influence on the crystallization kinetics,crystallization morphologies,and mechanical proprieties of isotactic polypropylene(iPP). It can be summarized the key factor of affecting the α/β compounded NAs is the crystallization temperature(TC). The NA with higher TC plays a leading role in the crystallization process. Competitive nucleation will occur when the difference of TC between two NAs is not pronounced. According to this rule,the optimization method for compounding α and β NAs can be developed. An example of adjusting the stiffness and toughness of isotactic polypropylene based on different of α/β compound nucleating agents was employed.

The structure of the hydrogels was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The swelling ratio of these hydrogels had sensitive respondence to the environmental pH value variation. Hydrogels composed of higher molecular weights KGM had bigger swelling ratio than those hydrogels composed of lower molecular weights KGM. The enzymatic degradation tests showed that the IPN hydrogels retain the enzymatic degradation character of KGM,and hydrogels composed of lower molecular weights KGM can release drug more stably.

    Ordered Fe-containing mesoporous carbon composite materials(Fe/OMC)have been synthesized via soft-templating routes by using triblock copolymer F127 as a template agent,resorcinol (R)-formaldehyde(F)as a carbon precursor,inorganic iron salts having complex reaction with phenols as a metal precursor in one-pot. The main strategy of this approach was to utilize the acidity self-generated from the hydrolysis of inorganic salts in the aqueous solutions as the catalyst for RF polymerization,where no addition of mineral acids was necessary. The resultant Fe/OMC materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction,Transmission electron microscopy. The influences of the aging time,the dosage of iron nitrate and the molar ratio of R/F on the structure of the obtained materials were investigated. Results show that the ordered mesoporous structure can be obtained under the synthetic condition of the aging time≥60 h,n(Fe)/n(R)=0.05—0.2,n(R)/n(F)=1/1.5—1/2.0. Moreover,a possible mechanism of the synthesis of Fe/OMC was proposed.

    Polyacrylamide grafted poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyvinylpyrrolidone semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels(PAAm-g-PEG/PVP)were designed and prepared via a simple free radical polymerization route initiated by a PEG-(NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 redox reaction technique. The swelling,and diffusion behavior as well as swelling kinetics were examined in various pH buffer solutions,and the structure and thermal properties were analyzed by Fourier transfer infrared spectra and thermal analysis system. The experimental results showed that the swelling ratios and diffusion mode of the PAAm-g-PEG/PVP hydrogels depended on the pH value of buffer solutions. The equilibrium swelling values were reduced with the increasing of pH values,which agreed with maximal theoretical water contents S∞ fitted by swelling kinetic data. The swelling behavior of the PAAm-g-PEG/PVP hydrogels might be controlled and modulated by PEG with different molecular weights.

    The paper is about the cyclization reaction of dichloropropanol preparing epoxy chloropropane in a micro-channel reactor. The influence of reaction temperature,the ratio of two materials,thedetention time on the yield of epoxy chloropropane are studied. The optimal parameters for reaction process are obtained as 50 ℃ reaction temperature,1∶1.2 for the ratio of dichloropropanol and NaOH,45 s detention time,20% weight concentration of sodium hydroxide solution,under which the yield of the epoxy chloropropane can reach up to 95.2%. The STC in micro-channel reactor is more than 100 times of that in a regular reactor. Comparing with traditional technological process,this new micro-channel reaction process makes the yield of epoxy chloropropane increased by 10% with less energy consumption,and the waste water discharge reduced by 45%.

    Antibiotics have been widely introduced into the environment. Their sorption/desorption behaviors control their transport,transformation and fate in the environment. Both soil organic matter and inorganic mineral have strong sorption to antibiotics. In this review,sorption mechanisms of antibiotic in inorganic minerals were focused on. The surface properties and structures of mineral(such as S—OH and 2∶1 and 1∶1)and the types of functional groups(such as —OH,—CHO,and —COOH)were highlighted. Ionic exchange and hydrophobic effect play a dominant role in the antibiotic adsorption in inorganic minerals. The effect of pH,ionic strength,and dissolved organic matter in antibiotics sorption were discussed,and viewpoints regarding antibiotics sorption were compared. Future research directions were also discussed.

    The technology using methanol-toluene binary solvent mixtures to recover urea and fatty acids from urea inclusion compounds was chosen as the best method through comparative experiments among five kinds of processes. The recovered yields of fatty acids and urea were 99.12% and 99.46% respectively,when the ratio of urea inclusion compounds - methanol - toluene was 1∶3∶3(g∶mL∶mL). Recovered fatty acids was analyzed using FT-IR,GPC and GC-MS. FT-IR spectroscopy identified the structure of recovery material,finding that both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were contained. Relative molecular weight of recovery fatty acids was 443 with a content of 93.92%. Six kinds of fatty acids were identified and content of UFAs(93.96%)were detected in recovery fatty acids via GC-MS. In recovered urea,long needle-like cylindrical crystal structure was observed using SEM,with a better crystallinity. Recovered urea reused for isolating PUFAs were investigated six times. The contents and yields of PUFAs purified by recovery urea were among 81%~89% and 60%~72% respectively,and the purity of UFAs was 100%.

    The process of flue gas purification with H2O2 for nitrogen oxide abatement has become a resource-economical and environment-friendly technology. The influences of H2O2 concentration,pH values,the initial concentration of NOx and temperature on the efficiency of denitrification were studied in a bubbling reactor. The feasibility of H2O2 matching different types of absorbent technology was also discussed in this paper and the optimal condition was achieved. The denitrification efficiency can be 43.96%,which were gained under the concentration of H2O2 50%,pH value about 3,the temperature about 363 K,the initial concentration of NOx about 450—500 mg/m3. The initial absorption efficiencies of 5% urea solution,slurry and water were 56.91%,51.77% and 50.12% respectively,where the flue gas was treated by 50% H2O2 solution. It was found that the efficiency declined with the time extended. Studies also showed that it could significantly slow the decline in the efficiency of denitrification when ethylenediamine was added in the urea solution.

    The study on simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification was carried out in a self-designed reactor using ammonia as the absorbent. The removal efficiency of SO2 was 100% and NOx removal rate was 72%. The condition for the absorption of SO2 and NOx was studied. It showed that SO32 concentration in the absorption solution is an important factor for desulfurization and denitrification. The combination of selective catalytic oxidation(SCO)and ammonia flue gas desulfurization were proposed. This method can be used to modify the existing ammonia flue gas desulfurization equipments to achieve simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification.

    Separation of synthetic titanium white waste liquor(H2SO4/FeSO4 system)by a self-made spiral wound diffusion dialysis module has been studied. Effects of H2SO4 and FeSO4 concentration,diffusion dialysis time,flow rate and flow rate ratio on the recovery of H2SO4 were investigated. The results showed that the spiral wound diffusion dialysis membrane module was an effective diffusion dialyzator. The acid recovery rate was more than 80% and the salt rejection rate was more than 90% when feed and water flow rate is 4.84 mL/(min?m2) and flow ratio of water to feed is 1. The recovered acid concentration was up to 70% of the acid concentration of titanium white waste liquor. Under the same operation condition,the spiral wound diffusion dialysis membrane module was more effective than the conventional plate-and-frame diffusion dialyzator.

    A new magnetic nanoadsorbent(Fe3O4@SiO2@CMC)was fabricated by coating silica from the hydrolysis of sodium silicate onto the surface of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles,and followed a covalent binding of high-deacetylated-degree carboxymethylated chitosan onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles via carbodiimide activation. The obtained magnetic nanoadsorbent(Fe3O4@SiO2@CMC)was characterized by TEM,IR,XRD and VSM. And the adsorption properties of the adsorbent for Cr(Ⅵ) ions were also investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capability was significantly affected by pH,and the adsorption capacity was best at pH=2;Moreover,with the distributions of Cr(Ⅵ) species under corresponding pH conditions,the adsorption mechanisms of Cr(Ⅵ) including both ion exchange and electrostatic gravitation were discussed. In addition,adsorption equilibrium data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to determine the adsorption potential. The results showed that the Langmuir isotherm was better relative to the Freundlich isotherm,and a maximum absorption capacity of 86.96 mg/g and a Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constant of 0.0174 L/mg at 298 K,pH 2 with volume of 5 mL.

    SRH liquid phase recycling hydrogenation technology takes the advantages of hydrogen,dissolved in liquid phase,to meet the hydrogenation reaction requirements,in which hydrogen concentration grads in the oil can act as the driving force for the reaction. SRH technology is characterized by its catalyst bed fully submersed in the liquid phase and close to isotherm operation as well as its high reaction efficiency and high target product yield. In addition,both the unit investment and operating costs are lower because of fewer high pressure devices adopted and less heat loss. The pilot plant results showed that SRH technology had strong adaptability to feed and can be applied to process different diesel under suitable process conditions. The products were also with good quality. Besides,the commercial application results from SRH diesel phase liquid recycling hydrogenation unit with capacity of 20×104 t/a in Chang-ling Refinery showed that:qualified 3# jet fuel can be produced using kerosene as feed;clean diesel with meeting national Ⅲ diesel specifications can be produced by blends of AGO,LCO as well as blends of AGO,CGO;clean diesel meeting national Ⅳ diesel specifications can be produced by AGO. Meanwhile,the longer stable running of this unit proves that SRH diesel products liquid recycling hydrogenation technology and key devices are mature and reliable.
