    The cavern formation in pseudoplastic fluid exists widely in stirred tank under laminar flow conditions,which is extremely harmful for mass and heat transfer in pseudoplastic fluid,and is an evident for shear- thinning rheological properties. Three mathematical models for predicting the cavern dimensions are spherical model,cylindrical model and toroidal model. Moreover, the progress of the current researches in cavern shape and dimensions development with different impellers is reviewed. These researches have indicated that the cylindrical model(EN model)is better representation of cavern shape and dimensions development in pseudoplastic fluid versus Reynolds number, and the cavern boumdary velocity was determined as 0.01 Utip at the meantime. The study on the cavern development and flow characteristics in pseudoplastic fluid by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)approach is a certain trend.

    The flow-induced vibration of tube bundles in heat exchangers seriously affects the operation safety. This paper presents the research progress in the field of vibration mechanism of tube bundles in recent years. Due to vibration damage,the average service life of heat transfer tube is only half of its design life. Based on the systematic analysis,the corresponding anti-vibration measures are proposed. As the design trend of heat exchanger is to get large-scale and high-spead shell-side flow the flow-induced vibration of tube bundles stands out as one of the decisive factors to extend the service life of heat exchanger. This paper pointed out that the future research should be focused on the reason of flow-induced vibration of tube bundles,and the more effective protective measures should be proposed,which is of some significance to the actual design of heat exchanger.

    In order to achieve the surface preparation techniques that promoted the formation of dropwise condensation heat transfer,Ni-P coating on carbon steel by electroless plating,and its condensation heat transfer performance were studied. The results showed that complete dropwise condensation was achieved on the surface of Ni-P electroless coating,the heat flux and heat transfer coefficient was 3 to 5 times higher than the values calculated by Nusselt film theory. Meantime,it was found that the amorphous of coating was the main reason for promoting the formation of dropwise condensation heat transfer. The co-existence state of dropwise and filmwise was obtained when the coating was crystallized by heat treatment.

    In this paper,a study of precoat filtration with cellulose filter aid added to high viscosity materials is presented. Different precoat filtration conditions greatly affect the filtration performance of a precoat cake layer. Specific resistance,compressibility coefficient and porosity of cellulose cake layer were studied by changing precoat pressure and concentration. Experimental results show that the specific resistance of cellulose precoat layer increases as pressure drop increases and decreases as concentration increases;the porosity of cellulose precoat layer decreases as pressure drop increases and increases as concentration increases;the compressibility coefficient of cellulose precoat layer increases as concentration increases. Cellulose filter aid is moderately compressible material. The cellulose precoat layer has high porosity. The results provide a reference for engineering applications of precoat filtration with cellulose added to high viscosity materials.

    Proton exchange membrane fuel cells require the CO content in hydrogen-rich fuel feed less than 10 ?L/L. CO preferential oxidation is an effective method for the deep removal of CO. A fixed bed reactor for CO preferential oxidation was designed and developed. The influence of catalyst loading pattern,CO space velocity and O2 to CO molar ratio on reactor performance was experimentally investigated. The experimental results showed that a three-layers loading of catalyst diluted by γ-Al2O3 powder favored the reactor performance. The outlet CO concentration was reduced to 7 ?L/L when the O2 to CO molar ratio was 2.8. The outlet CO concentration was maintained less than 10 ?L/L and the catalyst bed temperature distribution was uniform during a 20-hours continuous operation of the reactor.

    The atomized droplet size distribution of pressure swirl nozzle was obtained through Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence(PLIF)method in different liquid flows. The theoretical droplet size distribution was predicted using the three parameter maximum entropy model,which was constrained by average droplet size. The predictive distribution was fitted with the experimental result,and the general expression of generalized gamma function parameter α was obtained with the different liquid flows. Then,the characteristics and laws of droplet size distribution were summarized through the fitted model. The results show that the fitted model can well predict the number distribution and was not affected by small droplets. With the increase of liquid flow,droplet size distribution range becomes narrow,peak droplet size reduces linearly and the percentage of peak droplet size increases linearly.

    Due to the need for environmentally sustainable energy sources,lignocellulosic biomass is considered as raw material in the production of bioethanol used as liquid fuel. Bamboo,with cellulose and hemicellulose as its main components,is a kind of fast growth and cheap renewable resource for bioethanol production. At present,three critical steps are mainly focused on in the research on bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass,which are pretreatment,enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. And the efficiency and the energy cost of the pretreatment technology are crucial limitations to bioethanol production. Based on the review of key techniques for the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass,especially pretreatment for bamboo,the chemical composition and the structure of bamboo,advantages and disadvantages of various physical,chemical and biological pretreatments,along with the latest pretreatment methods,were analyzed. The power requirement of mechanical comminuting pretreatment is relatively high depending on the final particle size and the biomass characteristics. Though steam explosion pretreatment has gained great interest,its main problem is the lack of industrial scale equipment. Chemical pretreatment easily leads to environment pollution. The main drawbacks of biological method are its long pretreating cycle and low hydrolysis rate obtained in most biological materials compared to other technologies. The use of ionic liquids as solvents for the pretreatment of lingocellulosic biomass has recently indicated efficient effect. Therefore,further research is needed to improve the economics of ionic liquids pretreatment before they can be applied at industrial scale. A very balanced and intelligent combination of pretreatment process has to be selected to maximize the efficiency of bioethanol production. And we believed that with the unceasing research work,the bioethanol production from bamboo will be competitive economically and environmental friendly in the future.

    Polypyrrole modified Nafion membranes(PPy/Nafion)are prepared by FeCl3 oxidation methods. In addition,Co is chemically reduced on the cathode side of the modified membrane to prepare Co-PPy/Nafion membrane. The thermal stability,methanol penetrability and proton conductivity of Nafion membranes and the modified membranes are studied by TG,CV and AC impedance. Results show that PPy/Nafion and Co-PPy/Nafion have better thermal stability and low methanol permeation than Nafion membrance. Membrane-electrode-assemblies(MEAs)for a DMFC are fabricated by using Nafion membranes,PPy/Nafion and Co-PPy/Nafion respectively,with PtRu/C as an anode catalyst and Pt/C as a cathode catalyst. It is found that the modification of Nafion membrane with Co-polypyrrole can improve the performance of MEA to a great extent when the cell is operated at higher methanol concentrations and higher discharging current densities.

    Ni-SDC as the anode materials for SOFC,the products in the preparation process and in 5% H2S-N2 was studied thermodynamically. The results show that the products of NiO-SDC sintered at 800 ℃ and reduction at 850 ℃ were consistent with the results of thermodynamic analysis. Compared with the XRD spectrums of Ni-SDC before and after exposure in 5% H2S-N2 at 800 ℃ for 12 h,Ni was converted to NiS2,which consented to the conclusion of thermodynamics. Compared with the Raman spectrums of Ni-SDC and SDC before and after exposure in 5% H2S-N2 at 800 ℃ for 12 h,a conclusion can be drawn that the main peaks is not changed but the intensity is diminished,the possible reason is the formation of Ce—O—S when the anode is exposed in a high concentration H2S.

    Anion exchange membrane is the key of alkaline direct methanol fuel cell (ADMFC). A series of quarternized hydroxyethylcellulose(QHEC)and quaternized poly (vinyl alcohol)(QPVA) blend anion exchange membranes were produced by mixing QPVA and QHEC at different ratios,hot crosslinked and characterized. The morphology of the blend membranes showed that its structure was compact and uniform.TG-DSC showed that the blend membranes were stable below 300 ℃. The conductivity of the composite membrane increased with the content increasing of quaternized poly(vinyl alcohol)and temperature. It was between 2.0×10-2 s/cm and 7.8×10-2 s/cm. The QHEC membrane has good impediment effect to the methanol and the lowest methanol permeability of QHEC membrane was 2.49×10-6 cm2/s at 20 ℃. With the increase of QPVA contents,the methanol permeability of blend membranes would increase slightly.

    2-phenylethanol(2-PEA)is an aromatic alcohol with rose fragrance,which has been widely used as an essence component in fine chemical and food industries. Compared with the low quality 2-PEA by chemical synthesis and the low yield and high price 2-PEA by plant extraction,2-PEA production by microbial conversion has been increasingly valued,but the product inhibition of 2-PEA to microbes is a problem. In situ product removal(ISPR)techniques can effectively improve 2-PEA yield by reducing product inhibition. The progress of ISPR techniques used in 2-PEA production by microbial conversion was introduced including the extraction,adsorption and membrane-based pervaporation and penetration extraction. The combination of ISPR techniques,high-efficient fermentation process and strain screening for high yield,the development of relatively simple instruments and post-processing techniques are suggested to be the research focus,so as to significantly improve the yield of 2-PEA and realize the industrialization of 2-PEA production by microbial conversion.

    An environmentally friendly synthesis approach of glycerol carbonate with low glycerol residue was evaluated by using glycerol and urea as raw materials. The effects of catalyst structure and reaction condition on the conversion of glycerol were investigated. The results showed that the zinc sulfate calcined at 390 ℃ for 3 h had the highest activity. The glycerol content in product can be reduced by the combination of batch reaction of glycerol with urea and then with dimethylcarbonate,by which the glycerol content in the glycerol carbonate is lower to 0.6%,and the synthesis cost of glycerol carbonate is reduced as well.

    The H2S adsorption breakthrough time and breakthrough capacity of industrial activated carbons which were untreated,modified by NaOH,Na2CO3,Fe(NO3)3,Cu(AC)2 impregnant respectively,and treated by oxidation sulfur bacteria biofilm were compared under the same condition. The results indicated that the activated carbon modified by NaOH was significantly better than any other modifier under the same condition. Compared with the modifier at different concentration of NaOH,the activated carbon modified by 20% NaOH had the best effect on the removal of hydrogen sulfide. The breakthrough time and the breakthrough capacity were 78.25 mg/g and 2000 min above respectively. After the oxidation sulfur bacteria biofilm was formed on the modified activated carbon,which had certain effect on the removal of hydrogen sulfide. The saturated activated carbon modified by NaOH can be regenerated by oxidation sulfur bacteria biofilm,and achieve 100% on the removal of hydrogen sulfide. The activated carbon treated by oxidation sulfur bacteria biofilm has a good effect on the removal of hydrogen sulfide.

    Researches on the precipitation of calcium and magnesium from seawater have been carried out using CO2. The precipitation in the seawater,Mg-free seawater and Ca-free seawater system have been studied at pH value between 8.0 and 9.0. It was found that the removal rate of calcium can reach 90% when the pH value is between 8.0 and 9.0. Meanwhile,the removal rate of magnesium can reach 10% to 60%. In the Mg-free seawater system,the removal rate of calcium can reach 99% when the pH value is between 8.0 and 9.0. In the Ca-free seawater system,there is no precipitation between pH 8.0 and 8.3. The removal rate of magnesium can reach 60% when the pH value is between 8.5 and 9.0. The precipitated solids were characterized using X ray diffraction(XRD)analysis. The results show that they consist of CaCO3·H2O at pH 8.0,of CaCO3·H2O and MgCO3·3H2O between pH 8.3 and 9.0 in the seawater system. In the Mg-free seawater system,the precipitated solids consist of CaCO3. In the Ca-free seawater system,the precipitated solids consist of MgCO3·3H2O.

    In this study,a biological removal process using a combination recirculating system of hydrolyze–acidification was used to treat digested piggery wastewater. The transformation of volatile fatty acids(VFAs)and nitrogen under different cycle ratio conditions for this recirculating system were investigated. The results showed that formic acid,acetic acid and propionic acid give main contribution of VFAs in hydrolysis process. The concentration of formic acid was very low or undetected,and the proportion of acetic acid and propionic acid in organic acids were high. The species and concentrations of organic acids on 1/3 cycle ratio were higher than these under other two conditions. The relationship between COD and organic acids contents,COD and acetic acid,COD and propionic acid were linear. The good efficiency for nitrogen removal was obtained at 1/3 cycle ratio with the lowest NH3-N and NO3--N concentrations in treated effluent of 3.57 mg/L and 48.60 mg/L,respectively.

    A long-term continuous experiment of simulated wastewater was carried out using A2/O process and effect of influent loading and reflux ratio on the removal efficiency of nitrification was investigated at low MLSS of (1500±200) mg/L. The results show that the influent loading increases gradually from 5.03 gCOD/(gMLSS·d)to 10.05 gCOD/(gMLSS·d)and removal efficiency of COD is higher than 95% when influent loading is changed by adjusting influent flow rate. Removal efficiency of NH4+-N increases from 69.59% to 95% and removal efficiency of TN increases from 53.53% to 80%,respectively. Furthermore,when influent loading is enhanced to 20.31 gCOD/(gMLSS·d),removal efficiencies of NH4+-N and TN decrease to 50% and 40%,respectively. The influent loading increases from 10.05 gCOD/(gMLSS·d) to 124.11 gCOD/(gMLSS·d) when influent loading is changed by adjusting influent COD. Removal efficiencies of COD and NH4+-N are all higher than 90% and removal efficiency of TN increases gradually from 70% to 80%,respectively. When the reflux ratio of mixture is 300%,200% and 100%,respectively,removal efficiencies of COD and NH4+-N are less affected by reflux ratio. Removal efficiencies of COD and NH4+-N are higher than 90% and 95%,respectively. And meantime,removal efficiency of TN drops with the increasing reflux ratio,which is greatly influenced by reflux ratio. When the internal reflux ratio is 100%,removal efficiency of TN reaches the highest and it is higher than 80%.

    In this paper,the 1st stage hydrogenation production of cracking C9 gasoline from Dushanzi Petrochemical Company is used as raw material and industrial equipment conditions was simulated. The results of stability and 1000 h activity of LY-C9-B and contrast-catalyst show that bromine value of LY-C9-B product is much lower and the bed temperaturing is 5 ℃ higher than that of contrast-catalyst even when inlet temperature of LY-C9-B is 10—15 ℃ lower than that of contrast-catalyst. The results indicated that desulphurization effect of LY-C9-B is better than that of contrast-catalyst. Thus,comprehensive properties of LY-C9-B are superior to contrast-catalyst. Meanwhile,the hydrogenation products of LY-C9-B can be used as solvent oil after cutting. The catalyst shows a predictable industrial application prospect.
