    Ammonia alcohol cogeneration is one of the pillar categories in chemical industry,the value of flow calculations and analysis has important practical significance for the improvement of existing production processes and environment protection. This article adopts Japanese LIME evaluation system to convert the environmental damage caused by ammonia waste (SO2,CO2,NH3,etc.) to the monetary damage value. At first,the loss was identified by the calculation of value stream to make the hidden losses apparent. According to resource flow consumption and the principle of technical and economic feasibility,by the comprehensive utilization of dualistic evaluation composed of internal cost loss based on accounting principles and the cost of environmental damage based on the assessed monetary value of damage by pollutants,different improvement programs were proposed. Then “economic- environmental” cost-effectiveness comparative assessment was implemented. As indicators of circular economy performance evaluation and basis for improving production processes,resource value flow accounting system can provide a set of analysis,diagnosis and evaluation methods for circular economy of the ammonia industrial development.

    Citric acid is an important organic acid and one of the largest amounts of fermentation products in the world. In the paper,it is comprehensively synopsized for the principles,advantages and disadvantages about the liquid-liquid extraction and liquid membrane extraction. The current development of two systems and problems need to be solved now are discussed in detail. They have little pollution,high extraction efficiency and low cost,but they are all easy to emulsify due to emulsifiers,proteins,polysaccharides contained in fermentation broth,meanwhile liquid membrane extraction method is complicated. Based on these shortages,ionic liquid applied to the citric acid extraction system is proposed. And the idea ensures the extraction keep its advantages,but also overcome its emulsification,while ion liquid can be recycled,which will increase its energy-efficiency,and reduce the cost of separation.

    Coarse cohesive particles have been widely used in petroleum,chemical and food industries,but the particle bond behavior would influence production efficiency. The granular flow and fluidization behavior of coarse cohesive particles were summarized,along with the measures to improve the fluidization characteristics. The bonding mechanism,in which the main inter-particle forces were liquid bridge forces and solid bridge forces,was reviewed. According to experimental and numerical studies,amount of moisture,liquid viscosity and temperature could influence the dynamic properties of coarse cohesive particles,and consequently industrial production. Besides,improvement measures of the fluidization characteristics,such as higher gas velocity,equipment modification,were commented. The analysis showed that liquid bridge forces have been researched more systematically and comprehensively,while the bonding mechanism of coarse cohesive particles with solid bridge forces as the main inter-particle forces should be further studied. As with the advance of high performance computing technology,combining the discrete element method with new models of inter-particle forces will be the main and important method to study the granular flow and fluidization behavior of coarse cohesive particles.

    The GE-EOS model is a new idea to calculate and predict the phase equilibria with respect to the traditional methods of equation of states and activity coefficient models. The GE-EOS models are classified based on different reference states. This paper gives a summary of advantages and disadvantages of the classical models. The Huron-Vidal mixing rule,which is the first GE-EOS model,needs to refit the parameters of activity coefficient models. The Wong?Sandler mixing rule introduces the second virial coefficient,and has a good theoretical basis. The MHV1 and MHV2 mixing rules can use existing parameters of activity coefficient models directly. The LCVM type mixing rules eliminate the difference of combinatorial terms between the equation of state and activity coefficient model,so that they have excellent performance to predict phase equilibria of asymmetric system. There are three methods to improve the GE-EOS models,which are improving the equation of states,amending the activity coefficient models and expanding the paremeter tables. In order to meet the needs of application,GE-EOS models for asymmetric system will be an important direction.

    Decanter centrifuges have been widely used for the separation of solid-liquid mixtures with high solid concentration. The real-time monitoring of the flow field inside the centrifuge is believed to be difficult because of its complexity in structure and closed operation at high speed of rotation. RNG k-ε turbulent model and MRF method based on the FLUENT software of computational fluid dynamic technology were used in this research to simulate the pressure field in the centrifuge. Results showed that the differences between simulated and theoretical hydraulic pressure caused by the lag of liquid rotation increased with increase in rotational speed. The static pressure and dynamical pressure increased with radius,and the gradient of static pressure was greater than that of dynamical pressure. The static pressure increased along the drum axis from the inlet to liquid discharge port,while the dynamical pressure decreased gradually. It could be used as guidance for researching the performance of decanter centrifuges.

    By using the unreacted-core shrinking model,a kinetic model of gas-solid reaction in GE gasifier was developed. The mass and heat balances in the gasifier based on the “small compartment model” were established. The modeling results were compared with literature values,and the error of main gas mole fraction of gasification outlet was less than 2%,showing that modeling results were in agreement with reported values. The effects of oxygen to coal ratio and coal slurry concentration on syngas content,temperature and cold gas efficiency were analyzed. CO concentration increased and H2 concentration decreased with increasing oxygen to coal ratio,meanwhile CO2 concentration stayed constant. Cold gas efficiency increased firstly,and then declined in the range of 74%-79%. CO concentration increased,and H2,CO2 concentration decreased with increasing coal slurry concentration,but cold gas efficiency changed little. The profiles of syngas concentration and temperature distribution were studied at oxygen to coal ratio of 0.95 and coal slurry concentration of 55%. When gasifier height was less than 0.5m,the reaction between C and O2 occured rapidly,and when O2 was consumed completely,temperature decreasesd.

    In order to study boiling transfer enhancement mechanism,with water as working medium,the boiling bubble behavior under the influence of electric field was investigated. High-speed video camera was used to observe the growth process of bubble produced by direct heating with different heat flow densities and electric field intensities and the shape of escaping bubble,cycle and ratio of length to diameter of bubble were analyzed. The experimental result and related qualitative analysis were used to explain EHD enhancement of boiling heat transfer mechanism. Electric field had a significant effect on the behavior of bubble. The bubble was stretched along the direction of electric field intensity. The ratio of length to diameter of bubble increased with increasing heat flow density and electric field intensity. The cycle of bubble decreased with increasing heat flow density and electric field intensity. Synergy of electric field and thermal field synergy helped to reduce bubble residence time and consequently the thermal resistance between heat source and fluid,indicating the effect of boiling heat transfer enhancement.

    Air exhaust from separator is useful for increasing separation efficiency,but less used in industries. Experimental research and numerical simulation on uniflow type multicyclones were performed with air exhaust from side seam. Air extraction could increase multicyclones efficiency in some low concentration area and higher air extraction flow rate resulted in higher efficiency. But air extraction decreased efficiency when concentration was high,and higher air extraction flow rate led to lower efficiency. Calculation results showed that air exhaust decreased axal velocity in the separation space,increased tangential velocity of free vortex and decreased radial velocity near the wall. All the calculation results could well explain the experimental results. High concentration of water led to more active water film,which reduced separation efficiency.

    The influences of two sides horizontal jet on the fluidization characteristics of three different-sized particles were studied by using a two-dimensional conical fluidized bed with the size of 160 mm × 300(20) mm× 30 mm (height × width × thickness) and cone angle of 60°. The critical fluidization curve showed that pressure drop increased rapidly with increasing flow rate and decreased slightly after reaching a maximum. On the other hand,the hypothesis of “boiling core” was proposed based on experimental observations,and the change of flow rate with variation of bed height when the particles reached an incipient fluidization state was deducted. Based on the hypothesis,the calculation equation of maximum voltage drop was deducted according to the Ergun equation,and the calculation results showed that the calculated values were slightly higher than the experimental values. In addition,the minimum fluidization velocity of the two-dimensional conical fluidized bed increased with increasing particle size,but increased slightly with increasing filler volume.

    Effects of dissolution time,dissolution temperature,the concentration of sodium citrate and the addition amount of citric acid on dissolution behaviors of PbSO4 and PbO in sodium citrate solution were investigated. The results showed that PbO dissolution rate reached 51.16% after dissolving for 0.5 h,and with the increase of dissolution time,PbSO4 dissolution rate first increased and then decreased. PbSO4 dissolution rate increased and PbO dissolution rate decreased 37.98% with the increase of dissolution temperature,however,both of them increased when increasing the concentration of citric sodium. With the increase of citric acid addition,PbSO4 dissolution rate decreased to 6.39%,by contrast,PbO dissolution rate obviously increased,reached 97.32%. The results have provided basic data and theoretical support for new technology of recovering lead from used lead-acid battery with citric acid - sodium citrate solution.

    Biomass are known for its disadvantages,including high water content,low energy density,difficulty in comminuting into small particles and expensive transportation. However,pretreatment is one of the most effective ways to improve the quality of biomass pyrolysis products. The purpose of biomass pretreatment is to optimize certain features of biomass,such as hardness,particle size,density,composition,and chemical properties,to obtain more and higher quality of bio-oil in its pyrolysis liquefaction process. To improve the pretreatment technology with higher economic efficiency,the study onbiomass pretreatment technologies are reviewed in this paper. Many methods for high quality bio-oil have been discussed. In this review,the pretreatment technology,such as drying methods,acid hydrolysis,torrefaction,hydrothermal and biological methods,are analyzed in focus. Among them,drying methods and torrefaction have the potential in comparison. But the current study are still insufficient,we need to seek new pretreatment technology with lower cost,higher yield and less pollution. Suggestions on the development of pretreatment technology are also included. At present,the single biomass pretreatment methods have their defects,the combination of different pretreatment methods is the important direction in future research,in which the structural characteristics and composition of raw material properties are properly combined.

    Coal char samples,partly burnt with CO2 under different temperatures,were prepared using a Thermogravimetric Analysis(TG). The physic-chemical property was analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis(FTIR). The release regularity and the forming characteristic of the gas were investigated in the TG coupled with a FTIR spectrometer. It was observed that the pore structure of char increased with the precipitation of volatile until the collapse deformation. The cracking and reforming of functional group of char mainly take place at 320— 850 ℃. The lignite has been completely gasified at 850 ℃. Alkane gas is mainly released out in the stage of pyrolysis. It was mainly generated by the cracking and reforming of C—H functional groups of methyl,methylene,methoxy. CO was mainly generated by the cracking and reforming of C—O—(C) of oxygen functional groups,such as carboxylic,and CO2 participated in the gasification of char.

    There are mainly three kinds of catalysts used for producing N-phosphonomethyl glycine by air (oxygen) catalytic oxidation:activated carbon,noble metal and transition metal catalysts. The research progress of these catalysts and their relative merits for applications in N-phosphonomethyl glycine synthesis are summarized and analyzed in this paper. Activated carbon catalysts are low cost and can be simply prepared,but they possess short working life and leave too much formaldehyde as by-product. Noble metal catalysts have long operation life and the obtained product is high yield with good quality,but the catalysts are high cost and difficult to be prepared and regenerated. Transition metal catalysts belong to homogeneous catalysts and can be easily separated from products but with low yield. Hence,to address the domestic problems faced by glyphosate enterprises,catalysts,which are low cost,environmental friendly and easily prepared and regenerated,with high activities are urgently required.

    The new methods of preparation of copper-based catalyst by coprecipitation in recent years are presented. The use of non-thermal effect of microwave radiation,ultrasonic cavitation effect and micromixing effect under high-gravity environment can effectively control the size of catalyst grain and improve its dispersion. Also microwave radiation and ultrasonic radiation promote the substitution of Cu and Zn,accelerate precursor phase transition,and strengthen the interaction of Cu-ZnO. Coprecipitation- ammonia evaporation eliminates the negative impact of precipitant with cations. Coprecipitation deposition on various carriers has different unique performances. Liquid-phase preparation significantly improves the stability of the catalyst in slurry reactor. Gel-network-coprecipitation realizes the modulation of catalyst grain size. Through the application of new technology,the preparation of copper-based catalyst with larger surface area,more active species,medium size and high dispersion,stronger interaction and good stability is the development trend in this field.

After eliminating the influence of internal and external diffusion,the intrinsic reaction kinetics of 1-butene and H2S on P2O5-MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst was studied. The effects of reaction temperature,1-butene partial pressure and H2S partial pressure on reaction rate were investigated under the conditions of 120—180 ℃ and 0.2 MPa. The catalytic mechanism of reaction of 1-butene and H2S on the P2O5-MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst was discussed. The intrinsic reaction mechanism of 1-butene and H2S on P2O5-MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst was dual site mechanism. 1-butene and H2S were co-adsorbed on the catalyst surface to react and form sec-butyl mercaptan and the surface reaction step was the rate-limiting step. According to the dual site mechanism the rate of reaction was derived: Pre-exponential factor k0=3.3×109,activation energy Ea=60.78 kJ/mol.

    N-methyl-N,N-didodecyl chitosan (TMC) was synthesized. The obtained chitosan derivative was characterized by FTIR,EA and solubility method. N-methyl-N,N-didodecyl chitosan self-assembled vesicles were prepared by the ethanol injection method. Zeta potential of the vesicles ranged from 39.5 mV to 49.5 mV,particle diameter ranged from 50 nm to 100 nm,diameter distribution ranged from 0.17 to 0.26,and the vesicles were very stable for a period of 30 days. The Langmuir behavior of TMC indicated that the lower the pH,the easier the self-assembly. Different pH values of preparation medium had a large effect on the particle size and drug release behavior of the vesicles. However,different pH values of release medium had little effect on the drug release behavior.

    Using non-crystal starch (N-NS) as raw material,sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) and Octenyl Succinic Anhydride (OSA) as modification agents,non-crystal cross-linked octenyl succinic anhydride starch ester (N-1-COSAS) was synthesized by one-step process. The properties of N-1-COSAS,such as degree of substitution,combined phosphorus,intrinsic viscosity,transparency,apparent viscosity and blue value,were comparatively studied by the product synthesized by three-step process (N-3-COSAS) to analyze their similarities and differences. The functional groups,morphology,crystal structure and thermostability of the products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the degree of substitution,combined phosphorus and intrinsic viscosity for N-1-COSAS were greater than those by N-3-COSAS. The new absorption peak at 1600 cm–1 appeared in the FT-IR spectrum of the two starch esters demonstrated that the esterification reaction were occurred in both processes. The results of XRD indicated that the dispersion degrees of the peaks in N-1-COSAS and N-3-COSAS were similar to those of N-NS but the crystallinities of N-1-COSAS and N-3-COSAS were lower than that of NS. The particle surfaces of N-1-COSAS and N-3-COSAS were rougher than that of N-NS. Moreover,thermostabilities of N-1-COSAS and N-3-COSAS were better than that of N-NS.

    Separation of cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl acetate by thin-film evaporation/molecular distillation coupled technology was studied. Based on the experimental results of separating cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl acetate by molecular distillation,a novel separation method by thin-film evaporation/molecular distillation was investigated. For separation of cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl acetate with the coupled method,the effect of reflux ratio was discussed firstly. Then,the mixtures with different mass fractions of cinnamaldehyde were separated at various evaporator temperatures under the optimum reflux ratio of 2∶1. The content of cinnamaldehyde in distillate obtained by thin-film evaporation/molecular distillation was generally higher than that obtained by molecular distillation only for the same mixtures,which indicated higher separation efficiency of thin-film evaporation/molecular distillation coupled technology than molecular distillation in the case of separating materials with similar volatilities.

    CHF3 is a potent greenhouse gas with global warming potential of 14 800 times higher than that of CO2. Therefore,it plays a very important and critical role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. As CHF3 is produced with relatively high purity,it is very beneficial to realize resource utilization rather than high-temperature incineration which is currently used by industry. This review summarizes the research on the resource utilization of waste CHF3 gas. Via high-temperature pyrolysis (>700℃),CHF3 can be converted to C2F4 (TFE,tetrafluoroethylene) and C3F6 (HFP,hexafluoropropylene) selectively. The presence of a suitable catalyst can significantly improve the conversion of CHF3 and the yields of C2F4 and C3F6. Reaction of CHF3 with CH4 leads to the formation of CH2=CF2 (VDF,vinylidene fluoride),making it an alternative route for the resource utilization of CHF3. The major shortcoming of this route is its various by-products. CF3I can be synthesized via reaction of CHF3 with I2 which is another attractive process. As a fire-extinguishing agent and refrigerant,the cost of CF3I is relatively high compared with other substitutes. In addition,CF3I is widely used as trifluoromethyl reagent. It is reported that CHF3 can be directly used as trifluoromethyl reagent in the presence of complicated catalysts under harsh conditions and with high cost. This route is still under preliminary exploration in the laboratory and has a long way to commercial application.

    With the development of biological technology in recent years,it is possible that concentrated wastewater can be treated with biological process as a result of successfully cultivating,domesticating salt-tolerant bacteria. However,it is very difficult for a large amount of concentrated wastewater to be effectively treated by biological process due to the limitation of environmental adaptability of salt-tolerant bacteria. The decrease of COD and separation of inorganic salts from concentrated wastewater are ultimate goals. Only under this condition,a much larger amount of water be recovered. Different sources and formation mechanisms of concentrated wastewater were introduced. At the same time, the formation of high-salt wastewater during the treatment of chemical wastewater was analyzed. High-salt wastewater was generated after concentrated wastewater was treated by multi-effect evaporation or membrane distillation. The incineration and cooling crystallization processes can be used for treating high-salt wastewater. Because the crystallization of some soluble salts in high-salt wastewater is insensitive to the decrease of temperature,an evaporation-thermal crystallization process is advised for highly efficient separation of soluble salts from high-salt wastewater instead of the traditional evaporation-cooling crystallization process.

    In this paper the pollution situation of diethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) in water environments,such as surface water,drinking water,waste water and ground water,is introduced. DEHP is present widely in water environment,and the pollution level in some places of China,especially the industrial and densely populated areas,highly exceeds the average conditions overseas. The main pathways of DEHP pollution in soil,water and air include direct discharge of DEHP from manufacturers and release from daily use. Then the methods for removing DEHP from water are summarized,including adsorption,oxidation,and biodegradation. The mechanisms of above- mentioned methods are also summarized,and the biodegradation pathways of DEHP are analyzed. Finally extended studies on DEHP pollutions in various water environments are recommended. Further investigation of the mechanisms of DEHP transformation,degradation and its toxicology and the development of low-cost and efficient treatment methods are proposed.

    Methods to enhance the oxidation of ammonium sulfite are introduced in this paper. Hydrogen peroxide as an efficient and environment friendly oxidant was used to promote ammonium sulfite oxidation. In the experiment,the bubbling oxidation reactor was used to oxidize ammonium sulfite solution through air aeration or ozone aeration,and the oxidation rate of ammonium sulfite was measured with time. Compared with oxidation through air or ozone aeration,feeding hydrogen peroxide could remarkably increase ammonium sulfite oxidation rate,for example,through air aeration,when oxidation efficiency of 0.1mol/L ammonium sulfite solution reached 60%,reaction time was reduced by 50min and for 0.5mol/L ammonium sulfite solution under the condition of ozone aeration,reaction time was reduced by 30min. However the consumption of hydrogen peroxide was also quite high,resulting in rapid depletion of hydrogen peroxide. In addition,during the ammonium sulfite oxidation process fed by hydrogen peroxide,not all of hydrogen peroxide took part in the oxidation reaction,and the amount of hydrogen peroxide effectively utilized for oxidation became larger under the condition of ozone oxidation than air oxidation. For example,through ozone aeration,the mass fraction of hydrogen peroxide was 15% larger than that through air aeration in 0.5mol/L ammonium sulfite solution. There might be some synergistic effect between ozone and hydrogen peroxide in the ammonium sulfite oxidation process.
