    Mixing in a stirred tank is a complicated unsteady turbulent process,which occurs in a confined space,and often with the strong processes of mass transfer,heat transfer and even chemical reaction. Many factors affect the stirring and mixing process in a stirred tank,making it difficult to analyze the process theoretically. This paper reviewed the development of flow measurement techniques used to study the stirring and mixing process in past several decades. Advantages of conventional measurement implements for the flow rate were discussed in detail. In addition,Particle image velocimetry (PIV),a new optical whole field velocity measurement technique was introduced in this paper. PIV has higher space- and time-resolution. PIV technique could have the advantages of obtaining 2D or 3D instant velocity fields,density field and temperature field of the mixing flow,and development of turbulent structure in the flow. Experimental studies using PIV can provide great help for building multi-phase flow model in the stirred tank,validating numerical simulated results and performing the optimal design of the stirred tank. In summary,the application of PIV should advance the research of chemical stirring and mixing technology.

    This paper reviewed the module types:shear enhancing mechanism,permeability characteristics and economic evaluation of rotary shear-enhanced membrane ?ltration process (RSEMF). The advantages and drawbacks of the process were analyzed. It is recommended that the application of laser surveying instrument and computational fluid dynamics should be adopted for flow field observation and shear enhancing mechanism analyzing,and the critical flux and speci?c energy consumed per m3 of permeate are useful to analyze the permeability and evaluate the advantages of RESMF. To improve the performances of RESMF,more researches that are detailed should be conducted to investigate shear rate enhancement,module structure simplification,effective membrane surface increase, speci?c energy consumption decrease and the system cost. In addition, development of new modules,treatment of special solution with high concentration and the integration of RESMF and other types of membrane modules should also be considered as important factors.

    Numerical simulation of three dimensional gas flow field in the corrugated plate packing was investigated using the Fluent software and RNG turbulence model. The results showed that, after the gas enters in the bottom of packing, most of the gas went through wave of the plate, with higher gas velocity and lower pressure drop; while only a small part of gas entered in the peak wave of corrugated plate, and then flow tortuously towards the outlet, with smaller velocity and higher pressure drop. The simulation value of dry plate pressure drop agreed well with the Billet model prediction and experiment data in different gas kinetic energy factors. For the ideal corrugated plate packing model, when the gas arrived to the tower wall, it would change direction to flow along the corrugated inclination of the adjacent plate; however, this type of packing would appear wall flow phenomenon in practical application. Research in this paper could be used in guiding the construction, modification and application of corrugated plate packing.

    In an S type vertical sieve tray fluidized bed, a study on cold model experiment of the behavior of gas-solid fluidization was carried out, using FCC catalysts and room air as the fluidizing medium. The impacts of parameters such as the gas velocity of tray hole, the solid circulation volume and the cap structure on the tray pressure drop and particle lift rate through caps were investigated, and particle lift rate through caps was measured with self-developed particle lift rate collector. The results showed that:the bed pressure drop increased with the gas velocity of tray hole and the cap bottom gap height increasing, and decreased with the tray hole diameter, the hole diameter and opening rate of caps increasing. Particle lift rate through caps increased with the increases of tray hole gas velocity, the solid circulation volume, the tray hole diameter and the cap bottom gap height, and decreased when the cap hole diameter increased to a certain point.

    In order to make further study on the electrohydrodynamic enhancement mechanisms of boiling heat transfer, the shape of boiling bubbles when departing wall in the nonuniform electric field was visually investigated with a high-speed camera. The bubble shape when departing the wall was observed in the nonuniform electric field. The bubbles leaving the wall were basically spherical in shape without the high voltage electric field. The bubbles leaving the wall were elliptical in shape in electric field. When electric field strength was increased, the bubble elongation along the field direction was more obvious. The growth of bubbles was mainly affected by the inertial force and surface tension control without electric field. When electric field was applied, the bubble force increased by the action of electric field force. Electrical stress in the equatorial direction compressed the bubbles in the polar axis direction tensile bubble. Under the action of the electric field, the bubbles were changed from spherical to ellipsoidal in shape. As the field strength increased, the bubble by electrical stress increased, the bubble detachment wall along the field direction of elongation became more obvious. When the voltagewas applied, the bubble detachment frequency increased with the field strength. When the electric field intensity was at 1.4 kV/mm, the bubble detachment frequency was as 1.85 times higher, compared to the situation without electric field. The experimental results showed that electric fields had obvious effects on the behavior of the bubbles.

    The water content of the feed gas in dehydration system for a natural gas purification plant located in northern Shaanxi was too high and product gas could not meet the national standard. In order to resolve the problem ChemCAD was used to simulate the whole process and analyze the main influence factors. The best optimized operating parameters were as follows:the circulation quantity of TEG was 6.16m3/h, the temperature of feed gas was 33℃. Some professional software containing FRI, HTRI, Pipe Flow Expert and so on were used to optimize the relevant key equipment and pipelines after system transformation. The calculation result demonstrated that hydrodynamic parameters of TEG contactor would satisfy the operation requirement. The duty of jacketed pipe exchanger was deficient. The contrast analysis result showed that the selection of an efficient plate heat exchanger to replace the jacketed pipe exchanger in service was an economical and reasonable optimization method. The bundle finning ratio of feed gas precooler needed to be increased to improve heat transfer in order to be qualified for the specified heat demand. The above conclusions provided a reliable theoretical proof for dehydration system optimization and valuable reference for the same types.

    Br?nsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids are a novel type of catalysts which combine the characters of the Br?nsted-Lewis solid acids and the ionic liquids. Three characteristics of the B-L acidic ionic liquids are summarized in this paper based on the advance of synthetic route, characterization methods and applications of them nowadays. First, the B-L acidic ionic liquids make it possible that a step-by-step reaction is completed in one pot, in which B acid and L acid were added separately in different steps. Furthermore, a synergetic effect of B and L acid sites enhances the catalytic performance, which makes the B-L acidic ionic liquids raise the substrate conversion or product selectivity. The last but not the least, the B-L acidic ionic liquids have better performance in mass transfer and diffusion than B-L solid acids. These above features make the B-L acidic ionic liquids become a competitor of traditional acid catalysts, which reveals that the B-L acidic ionic liquids have good development prospects in industrial catalysis field.

    Lithium rich Li1.2Ni0.17Co0.07Mn0.56O2 cathode materials for lithium ion batteries were synthesized by three different methods:a spray-drying method, a co-precipitation method and a solid-state reaction method. Electrochemical tests show that the sample prepared by the spray-drying method presents the best cycling performance with discharge capacity of 153.4 mA?h?g-1 at 1 C rate. No degradation was observed after 50 cycles. While the samples prepared by the co-precipitation method and the solid-state reaction method delivered the capacity of 133.5 mA?h?g-1 and 123.6 mA?h? g-1, respectively, after 50 cycles under 1 C rate charge-discharge. The results of ICP measurements indicate that only the composition of the sample prepared by the spray-drying method can exactly consist with the formula Li1.2Ni0.17Co0.07Mn0.56O2. Furthermore, FSEM observation shows that the sample by spray-drying method has smaller particle size with even particle size distribution, which would benefit its electrochemical performance.

    Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH),a hemoprotein reductase,or in older notation,triphosphopyridine nucleotide is one of the most abundant redox cofactors in the metabolic network. It is the main electron donor in anabolism and is mainly used in the biosynthesis of biomass precursors. As an important branch of metabolism engineering,cofactor engineering changes the NADPH regeneration pathways and rebuilds the components of metabolic products. In this paper,we introduce the pathways in which NADPH is generated and reviewed the strategies to operate NADPH,including overexpression of enzymes,deletion of genes associated with NADPH metabolism or introduction of heterogeneous NADPH metabolic pathways. More attention should be focused on deeper understanding of the interplay between the operation of NADPH and central carbon metabolic networks in the future.

    Six pinonic acid esters were synthesized from one-pot ozonolysis reaction using α-pinene and alcohol as raw materials, dichloromethane as solvent, and decomposition of the prepared ozonide by acetic anhydride (AA) with triethylamine (TEA) as catalyst. The influences of acetic anhydride quantity, triethylamine quantity, reaction time and reaction temperature were investigated. The synthesis conditions were optimized by orthogonal experiment. The optimized conditions were as follows:nAA/nα-pinene = 3.0∶1, nTEA/nα-pinene = 0.75∶1, time and temperature 60 min and 30 ℃ respectively. The yields of six pinonic acid esters were above 60%. The structures of the six pinonic acid esters were identified and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. This method was a convenient and efficient way to synthesize pinonic acid esters, which had such advantages as simple operation, mild conditions and high yields.

    The current situations about lubricant biodegradation of mineral lubricant,synthetic lubricant and vegetable lubricant were summarized in this paper,with a highlight of the diversity of lubricant. The main aspect of the lubricant study is focused on the development and evaluation of degradable lubricant. However,environmental friendly treatment of nonrenewable lubricant had less attention in current research. The current work of nonrenewable lubricant is mainly focused on the biodegradability research. However,improving strains and constructing multiple colonies aiming at promoting the ability and efficiency could be more effective ways of lubricant degradation. Developing an efficient,economical and applicative biodegradation technique would be the goal of future research. Synthetic lubricant and vegetable lubricant with high potential of biodegradability would be valuable in research and application.

    Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an acutely poisonous pollutant,which might damage human health and atmospheric environment. The HCN-containing exhaust gases are commonly released to the air from nitrogen-containing fuel combustion,chemical processing,metallurgy,and vehicle exhaust emissions. This paper reviewed the recent progress of HCN removal technologies,including absorption,adsorption,combustion,catalytic oxidation and catalytic hydrolysis. The principle,applications,advantages and disadvantages of HCN removal were also analyzed. For high concentration HCN-containing exhaust gases,absorption and combustion have the advantages of high removal efficiency and simple purification processes. The decyanation agents of other processes are normally active at high temperatures,and the regeneration is relatively complicated. However,the secondary pollution is low compared to adsorption and combustion processes; therefore,it could have advantages in precise decyanation. The combined application of various removal technologies in the future can not only remove HCN effectively,but also recover and utilize high concentration CO which can be used as a raw material gas in chemical industry. Even though the combined applications may still have some obstacle,such as relatively high cost and difficulties in control technology,it is still a new development trend with bright prospects for HCN removal.

    In this study,automatic sulfur determination analyzer (XK-5000) was used to investigate loading behavior of sulfur- containing model compounds on the different carriers (active carbon,active alumina and silicon dioxide),the effects of solvents on the absorption ability,and sulfur release behavior of those compounds during combustion process. Results showed that XK-5000 appeared higher repeatability and stability for the sulfur determination; the absorption ability of active carbon to 2-methylthiophene and phenyl sulfide was better than that of active alumina and silicon dioxide; while acetone can promote sulfur compounds absorption on all those carriers,however the effect on active alumina is the most remarkable; the sulfur release rate of phenyl sulfide faster than 2-methylthiophene during combustion process.

    The silicone rubber products blooming has been characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as well as time of flight-mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). The blooming is found to be tripolymer and tetrapolymer of diphenyl silandiol, a kind of structural control agent in the rubber. There is more tripolymer than tetrapolymer in the bloom. The bloom is the same as the impuries in GRC but the impuries in GRC are not the main source resulted in the blooming. It may be resulted from the difference of granularity of GRC materials according to the results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and laser diffraction particle analyzer. The bigger GRC grains are more inlcined to dehydrate and self-polymerize, then resulting in blooming.
