The development of the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene，including catalytic dehydrogenation，oxidative dehydrogenation and dehydrogenation in the membrane reactor is summarized and analyzed. Although，catalytic dehydrogenation of propane has been commercialized，the performance of catalysts needs to be further improved. The development of low temperature and high selectivity catalysts is the key issue for propane oxidative dehydrogenation. Compared with the traditional dehydrogenation，the membrane reactor has its advantages in propane dehydrogenation. It can overcome the restriction of thermodynamic equilibrium and shift the reaction to the dehydrogenation direction. So，in the membrane reactor，the conversion of propane and the yield of propylene are very high. If the activity and stability of catalysts for propane dehydrogenation and the hydrogen perm-selectivity of the membrane reactor can be further improved，the membrane reactor is a promising method for the dehydrogenation of propane.

The water from the final clarifier of municipal waste water treatment was selected as original water containing micro concentration recalcitrant organic contaminants andthe captive test was conducted. The degradation effects of organic contaminants in the water，which was difficult to remove by biochemical process，were investigated with four methods：O3，O3/C，O3/UV and O3/UV/C. The results showed that besides improving the ozonation degradation of micro concentration organic contaminants and the utilization of ozone，ultraviolet light at 254nm wavelength and activated carbon had synergetic action on ozonation.

The utilization of ozone could be up to 91.4%. The influence of different radical scavengers on ozonation were investigated. The results showed that the ozonation degradation of organic contaminants in the water from the final clarifier was due to different kinds of radical reactions and hydroxide radical reaction played the most important role.

The changes of preferred orientation of PAN-based carbon fibers during continuous high temperature graphitization and hot stretching graphitization were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the degree of preferred orientation within PAN-based carbon fibers increased with the increasing heat treatment temperature (HTT) and the ratio of hot stretching，respectively. Both in high temperature graphitization and in hot stretching graphitization the fiber’s tensile modulus increased with increasing preferred orientation，but the values of preferred orientation (Z) determined by XRD were different for the same value of modulus. The relationship between microstructure and modulus showed that tensile modulus did not only depend on the preferred orientation，but also related to the crystallite size. In addition，even after heat treated to 3 000 ℃，the fiber’s preferred orientation (Z) was only 14.71°，indicating the fiber’s turbostratic layers were still not highly aligned.
