    In the field of multiphase flow,the research on heavy oil-water flow has become the focus but it is still in its infancy. The advances in study on heavy oil-water flow at home and abroad were introduced and analyzed from three aspects in this paper,that is,phase inversion,flow pattern transition and pressure drop. In the aspect of phase inversion,the mechanism and influence factors of heavy oil-water flow were described by experts at home and abroad. In terms of flow pattern transition,the factors affecting the transition of stratified flow and dispersed flow were introduced. In the aspect of pressure drop,the factors that affected the pressure drop of stratified flow,dispersed flow and annular flow were analyzed.In addition,the present calculation model and the accuracy of pressure drop prediction were discussed. Furthermore,the paper also focused on the problems in the research of heavy oil-water flow and pointed out two important developments in the future. First,the relevant parameters needed to be revised when the experimental results were applied to the actual pipeline. Second,the influence of the curved pipe on the flow pattern transition and phase inversion of heavy oil-water flow needs to be further studied,which was of great significance to the safety and economic operation of pipeline.

    The transesterification of dimethyl carbonate(DMC)and phenol to diphenyl carbonate(DPC)is considered as a clean production route,and this route is usually carried out through two steps. However,in the second step the disproportionation of methyl phenyl carbonate(MPC)usually cannot react thoroughly,which,to a certain degree,have deeply limited the production of the target product DPC. Therefore,the disproportionation of MPC is a key step to synthesize DPC in the transesterification reaction from DMC and phenol and further research of it is of great significance. The reaction thermodynamic,dynamics,catalysts and the synthesis process of the disproportionation of MPC are mainly reviewed. Problems on dynamics and equilibrium constraint of the disproportionation are discussed in details. The proper way to break the equilibrium constraint is to reduce the distillation pressure in the disproportionation and the high selectivity of DPC relies on the property of the catalyst. The main research of the catalyst are supposed to be directed to heterogeneous catalyst. Finally,the perspective and evaluation of domestic researches are given.

    Boiling is widely used in industries,such as the large scale integrated circuit cooling,CPU cooling,energy storage and so on. Porous metal is rapidly becoming a new hot spot in the field of boiling enhancement because of its high specific surface area,excellent thermal conductivity as well as a dense potential bubble nucleate sites. Coupled with wettability modification,porous surfaces can greatly improve the critical heat flux(CHF),easily control the boiling from disorderly to orderly. This review focused on the effects of porous surface and wettability on boiling heat transfer performance and heat transfer mechanism,which involves in porous sizes,shapes,nucleation site distribution and wettability. This paper also discussed the model evolution of boiling heat transfer; the Kandlikar series CHF model based on the Zuber formula was analyzed. Microlayer evaporation and transient conduction are considered as the main mechanism to enhance nucleate boiling. Micro/nano porous with local wettability can improve boiling heat transfer,which could be a potential new research idea.

    As an important protective layer of petroleum refinery installations,gas detectors can greatly improve the detection efficiency and reduce the loss if they are placed in a reasonable position. From the perspective of minimizing leakage risks,a quantitative optimization method of gas detectors placement was proposed. Several external factors of leakage diffusion process were quantified to calculate the scenarios occurrence probability,leakage consequence and risks. According to the failure mode and redundancy structure,a minimal risk p-median problems(MRPMP-UVCVaR)optimization model was demonstrated,as well as unavailability,voting effects and Conditional-Value-at-Risk(CVaR) was considered. Particle swarm optimization(PSO)was used to solve the model. The applicability of the methodology was shown in a case study and the results were compared with the original scheme,improving the design of detection systems on a risk-oriented basis. Future work including the research of the experimental validation and multi-objective optimization will be taken to improve the practicability of the optimization model.

    Thermo-physical properties of aqueous solutions of potassium perfluorooctanoate(PFOK),with mass fractions of 0.02%,0.05%,0.1%,0.2%,0.5%,were tested respectively. It was found that significant changes in a little amount of PFOK could lead to surface tension of water,viscosity followed,while the specific heat,density,thermal conductivity and other parameters of water were less affected. An experimental study on characteristics of the pulsating heat pipe(PHP),with the inner diameter of 2.5mm of copper pipe,using water of different surface tensions and viscosities was carried out. The results showed that promotion of heating power on startup time is obvious if the heating power input is no more than 60W. Change laws of startup time and thermal resistance with the effect of surface tension present "W" type image due to the increment of viscosity. Besides,the effect of surface tension and viscosity on the thermal resistance is decreased with the increase of the heating power.

    Large inclination upward pipe is common in hilly terrain area. In this paper, flow patterns were obtained and gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure fluctuations in the upward pipe were measured using an indoor experiment apparatus. Six flow patterns were observed during the experiment. Both time domain,PDF(probability distribution function),CDF(cumulative distribution function)and PSD(power spectral density)characteristic values of the pressure fluctuation under different superficial gas velocity as well as superficial liquid velocity and angle were obtained. Results showed that,due to the expansion of the gas and the inertia of the slug in the large inclination,the pressure value of the pressure sensing point would be lower than the higher point during the blowout of severe slugging. The characteristics of time domain,PDF,CDF and PSD characteristic values of the pressure fluctuation under different superficial gas velocity,superficial liquid velocity and angle were compared and analyzed,which can be used to identify flow patterns and provide reference for selection of equipment and the security operation of pipelines. Distributions of PDF showed single-peak and dual-peak. The slope,knee,and distribution of CDF were different for different flow patterns. Distributions of PSD showed single-peak,dual-peak,triple-peak,multi-peak and no-peak. The period and the value of pressure fluctuation of severe slugging increase with the angle augmented.

    In process industry,many existing heat exchanger networks have huge energy recovery potential due to the unreasonable network structure. Therefore,it is necessary to retrofit those heat exchanger networks. This paper combined the exchanger reassignment strategy with the stage-wise superstructure. The exchanger reassignment strategy was improved further to make full use of existing heat exchangers. Meanwhile,more economic option was chosen by comparing the additional heat transfer area cost and the new heat exchanger cost when an existing heat exchanger was reused,ensuring a lower investment cost under the same energy-saving. A MINLP (mixed integer nonlinear programming) model to retrofit the heat exchanger network was built based on the stage-wise superstructure. The model considered the tradeoff among the additional heat transfer area cost,the new heat exchanger cost and the utility saving by retrofit. The retrofit of heat exchanger network was solved by genetic algorithm(GA). In a case study,the utility cost was reduced more than 60% and the retrofit profit would be 1.49×107$/a. The total annual cost of the retrofit network was 1.290×107$/a,which was 31.2% and 9.2% lower than the literatures,respectively. The utility cost was 42.4% and 17.0% lower than the literatures. A better retrofit result was achieved by the method proposed in this work.

    In order to investigate hydrate plugging processes and mechanisms,a high pressure flow loop was newly designed and constructed where hydrate plugging experiments were performed in natural gas + diesel oil + water systems for a range of water cuts(30%-100%)and initial liquid flow rates(1600-2400kg/h). Based on the experimental data of hydrate morphology and flow parameters,hydrate formation and distribution characteristics in the flow loop were analyzed and two hydrate plugging types together with the corresponding hydrate plugging mechanisms were proposed. For hydrate plugging type Ⅰ,the plugging process can be divided into four stages. Formation and growing of a hydrate deposition layer is the governing plugging mechanism. For hydrate plugging type Ⅱ,it can also be divided into four stages. Liquid stratification and the sharp increase in viscosity is the governing plugging mechanism. In addition,silt-like hydrates and flocculent-like hydrate deposition layer were observed in hydrate plugging typeⅠwhile slurry-like hydrates with no obvious deposition layer were observed in hydrate plugging typeⅡ.

    In order to improve the comprehensive performance of tube,heat transfer and resistance characteristics of a new type of sinusoidal tube were studied by numerical simulation using water as working fluid. The simulation indicated that secondary flow is caused by the periodic structure of the sinusoidal tube,which in turn strengthens fluid mixing,and reduces thermal boundary layer. As a result,heat transfer resistance is reduced and heat transfer enhanced. The measured data were compared with the simulation ones. Total heat transfer coefficient of the sinusoidal tube increased to 24.7%-58.4% than that of the straight tube, with the Re from 5000 to 28000. Under the same conditions,pressure drop in the sinusoidal tube was slightly larger than the straight tube. The difference between the two was 22%-38%. At the same time,resistance coefficient of the two tubes decreases as Re increases while the sinusoidal tube decreases more rapidly. When the Re number is larger than 13000,the resistance coefficient increment of sinusoidal tube is less than 20%. Considering the total heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop,heat transfer performance of the sinusoidal tube is better.

    The reaction of using carbide slag and magnesium chloride as raw material to precipitate magnesium hydroxide in normal temperature was studied. The result showed that the impurity of carbide slag suppressed the secondary nucleation,resulting in the growth of magnesium hydroxide and bigger particle size. The nucleation of magnesium hydroxide was heterogeneous which was easy to take place due to the free energy of nucleation. The growth kinetics was modeled,and the results showed when the concentration of Mg2+ was higher than that of Ca2+,the growth rate was of no relevance to the concentration,while when the concentration of Mg2+ was lower than that of Ca2+,the growth rate increased with the increase of the concentration of Ca2+,indicating that the increase of the concentration of CaCl2 could promote the growth of magnesium hydroxide.

    A numerical calculation was attempted based on a high-pressure 1.5-stage steam turbine with rotor labyrinth seal. The variation of leakage vortex system in shroud exit cavity and the effect of main flow mixing with leakage flow on the aerodynamic characteristics of downstream stator were analyzed. Besides,the related losses generated by leakage flow were calculated. Results showed that there were large differences between main flow and leakage flow in the circumferential velocity and radial velocity. Main flow was deflected at the rotor blade exit when it mixed with the leakage flow,which led to the negative angles of incidence on the subsequent stator and the decrease of the stage efficiency. The mixing loss was the main part among the related losses generated by leakage flow. The tip clearance directly affected the size of backflow vortex which was closely related to the kinetic energy dissipation of leakage flow. Therefore,during the structure design process of the blade tip seal,it is necessary to reduce the tip clearance,enhance the disturbance of leakage flow in seal cavity,and decrease the velocity difference between leakage flow and main flow to improve the economy of steam turbine.

    The current R22 alternative refrigerants are mainly R410A,R417B,etc.Their ODP is 0,but their GWP is relatively high,which is a transitional alternative.This study presents an investigation of the properties of low GWP ternary mixed refrigerant R1234ze(E)/R134a/R32(abbreviation NC01). The mixing mass ratio was 17%/33%/50% according to the REFPROP9.0. This software was used to analyze the environmental,thermal and circulatory properties of NC01. The ODP of NC01 is 0,GWP is 755,which is 57 percent lower than R22. Performance parameters such as critical temperature,critical pressure,saturation pressure and COP are similar to R22,and the volumetric heating capacity is higher than R22. An experimental study is performed in the water source heat pump unit.The resultsare compared with R22. Results showed that when the cold inlet water is 12℃ to 23℃,the new mixed medium's exhaust gas temperature is 2℃ to 3.6℃ higher than that of R22,corresponding pressure ratio is high 8.6%-14.8% than R22,heating capacity is 5%-11% higher than that of R22,the COP is about 4.5% lower than the average R22,the heating rate increased by 9% than that of R22. When the cold water inlet temperature is higher than 23℃,COP value is higher than R22. Finally,the results of the experiment are compared with the theoretical calculation,and the two fit well. This study provide reference for the research of the similar mixture replacing R22.

    The purpose of the study was to research the effects of various extractants on the solubility and the selectivity of aromatics from coal-derived naphtha. Using liquid-liquid extraction technology,the composite extractants were obtained for removing aromatics of the low aromatic naphtha. Firstly,considering the selective coefficient(S) and the partition coefficient(K) of C6,C7,C8 aromatics in the coal-derived naphtha system with the five extractants,the main extractant dimethyl suifoxide(DMSO)was optimized. Secendly,the LLE data of the composite extractants and the low aromatic simulate oil prepared by the methyl cyclohexane and toluene systems were measured based on the main extractant DMSO supplemented with DMF,sulfolane,NFM or TEG. The experimental data were correlated by the hand correlation,and the auxiliary extractant DMF was proved to be more appropriate. Finally,the aromatic removal rate and the yield of solvent oil were served as indexes. The study explored the effects of composite extractant DMSO+DMF on removal of aromatics from coal-derived naphtha. The results showed that after five stages counter-current extraction under the optimized process conditions,the composite extractant DMSO+10%DMF had good effects on the removal of aromatics from coal-derived naphtha. The distribution coefficient of the aromatics from coal-derived naphtha was up to 0.215 and the maximum selectivity coefficient was 9.96. The total aromatic content decreased from 12.36% to 1.30%,reaching the standard of aromatic content in 120 solvent oil.

    Hot gas filtration with raw syngas was continuously tested for 100 hours on a pilot scale purification system,the influence of biomass type,after-burning and back blow on pressure drops and temperatures of dust filter were studied,and the concentrations of gas component,tar and dust in the raw syngas and purified syngas were analyzed. It was found that compared with filtration with syngas from wood chip gasification,the pressure drop of the filter increased by 1200-1500Pa while filtration with syngas from co-gasification of pellet(25%mass)and wood chip(75%)the optimal temperature of filter was 450-550℃;after-burning with air was a more effective way to decrease the filter pressure drop than back blowing with N2. The optimal flow rate of after-burning air was 10-12m3/h when the flow of syngas was 260-400m3/h;and the filter pressure drop remained at around 1200Pa. It was concluded that the pilot filtration system could continuously and stably run for 100 hours. The dust content in purified syngas was as low as 10-40mg/m3. The dust and tar removal efficiency was 92.3% to 99.8% and 31.0% to 92.5%,respectively. The filtration did not reduce the concentration of combustiblegases in purified syngas significantly.

    Lignin is the most abundant natural aromatic polymer on earth. It is also a major byproduct of pulp and papermaking industry and lignocellulose biorefinery. Pyrolysis is one of the most promising ways to utilize lignin for production of fuels and chemicals. However,the pyrolysis characteristics of lignin products are greatly dependent on the isolation methods. In present work,five lignin products were isolated from sugarcane bagasse by organic acid,alkaline,and oxidative pretreatments,respectively,namely acetic acid lignin(AAL),acetosolve lignin(AsL),milox lignin (ML),peracetic acid lignin(PAAL)and alkaline lignin(AL). The pyrolysis of these isolated lignins was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). As indicated by TGA,all of the lignin products showed four stages of weight losses,namely water removal,glass transition,pyrolysis to small molecules and slow coking. The pyrolysis kinetics was analyzed by Coats-Redfern method. The results indicated that the pyrolysis process could be described as a second-order reaction in temperature range of 200-700℃ for PAAL,and 200-700℃ for the other four lignins. The activation energies were determined as 33.33kJ/mol,36.36kJ/mol,31.10kJ/mol, 24.74kJ/mol and 36.93kJ/mol for AAL,AsL,ML,PAAL and AL,respectively.

    The permeability of the porous media in the presence of hydrate is one of the key parameters that affect the production potential of natural gas from hydrate reservoirs.The permeability of porous media depends on the percentage of porosity occupied by hydrate.It is of great significance to study the effect of hydrate saturation on permeability.In this study, a gas tank was used to precisely control the amount of injected methane gas to the core sample,and the permeability to water was measured by varying the methane hydrate saturation (0~35%)in porous media made of quartz sand,with an average particle size of 333.21μm.It was found that the permeability gradually decreased with an increasing hydrate saturation,which was consistent with previous studies.For hydrate saturation less than 10%,the solid hydrate had significant effect on blocking the pore space of the porous media,and the permeability tended to drop sharply.However,for the hydrate saturation more than 10%,the rate of permeability gradually decreased.Comparing the experimental results with those predicted by the empirical permeability correlation with the Masuda permeability model[K=K0(1-SH)N),where N is integer],it was found that a value of N=13 fitted the experimental data better.

    Mo/Mn-TiO2 oxides catalysts have been prepared by impregnation method and employed to selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia(NH3-SCR)on a laboratory fixed-bed. Experimental results of NO removal showed that,in the temperature range of 160-440℃,the dopping of Mn alone can significantly improved the catalytic activity of denitrification,and the NO conversion efficiency was more than 90% between 160-280℃,which shifted the active temperature window to the low temperature observably. With the further doping of Mo,there were different degrees of drop on the NO conversion rate in the temperature of 120-200℃,but the NO conversion rate can be further improved at 240-440℃;The de-NOx activity decreased with the increase of SO2 concentration on Mn-TiO2 catalyst,and the SO2 resistance dropped more sharply at lower reaction temperature. However,the resistance to SO2 poisoning was greatly improved after the addition of Mo,and the efficiency of de-NOx is still more than 90% at 240℃ when the SO2 concentration was below 0.05%. BET,EDX,H2-TPR,XRD and XPS were used to characterize the pore structure,surface elements distribution,reaction activity and the morphology of the catalyst systematically,and the mechanism of de-NOx and SO2 resistance of Mo/Mn-TiO2 catalyst was clarified.

    Due to the recycling difficulty and low activity of the catalyst during the preparation of styrene oxide,a new catalyst of gold nanoparticles stabilized by polymeric ionic liquid with thermoregulated biphasic function was synthesized,which has favorable properties of ‘mono-phase under high temperature, bi-phase under low temperature’,good stability and efficient catalytic ability. The results of catalyzing epoxidation of styrene showed that the catalyst has rather high catalytic activity with small loss and is easy to recycle. The conversion of styrene was up to 97.8%, while the selectivity of styrene oxide was 81.9%.

    Cu-ZnO-ZrO2(molar ratio CuO:ZnO:ZrO2=5:4:1) catalysts were prepared using different precipitants(NH3·H2O、NaHCO3、Na2CO3)by concurrent-flow co-precipitation method. XRD,XPS,H2-TPR and CO2-TPD were used to characterize the physico-chemical properties of the catalysts,and the catalysts activity were evaluated in a high temperature and high pressure micro-reactor. The influences of different precipitants on the catalyst precursors and catalysts component structure,CuO-ZnO interaction for methanol synthesis through carbon dioxide hydrogenation were studied. Results show that the influence of different precipitants on the physico-chemical properties and activity of catalysts was very great. When the precipitants of NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 were used,they was helpful to produce aurichalcites in catalyst precursors,which,after calcination,were effective to prevent the growth of CuO particles,and to improve the dispersion of the metal copper oxide,increase the metal surface basic sites,enhance CuO-ZnO interaction,and raise the catalysts activity. More aurichalcites were produced in the catalyst precursors by using NaHCO3 as the precipitant,and the particle size of the CuO was 8.6nm,the copper specific surface area was 15.38m2/g,the dispersion degree of copper was 11.9%,the selectivity of methanol was 42.29%,the yield of methanol was 0.094g/(gcat·h),and the catalyst activity was the highest.

    The catalysts of Ru-Zn(5%NaOH),Ru-Zn(H2O),Ru-Zn(0.035mol/L ZnSO4) and Ru-Zn(0.145mol/L ZnSO4) were prepared by H2 reduction in 5% NaOH,distilled water,0.035mol/L ZnSO4 and 0.145mol/L ZnSO4 using a co-precipitation method. The activities of the catalysts for selective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene were in the order of:Ru-Zn(5%NaOH) > Ru-Zn(H2O) > Ru-Zn(0.035mol/L ZnSO4)≈Ru-Zn(0.145mol/L ZnSO4),but their selectivities to cyclohexene were in the inverse order. The reason is that the reduction media could influence the composition and texture properties of the Ru-Zn catalysts,and further affects their catalytic performance. The Ru-Zn(H2O) catalyst gave the highest cyclohexene yield among these catalysts,suggesting that the distilled water was the best reduction medium. The specific surface of Ru-Zn(H2O) catalysts decreased with the increase of the reduction temperature,and the activity of the catalysts was lowered. Meanwhile,the particle sizes of the Ru-Zn catalysts increased resulting in the decrease of numbers of the corner sites and the edge sites on the catalysts suitable for hydrogenation of cyclohexene to cyclohexane. Thus the selectivity to cyclohexene increased with the increase of the reduction temperature. The Ru-Zn(H2O) catalyst reduced at 100℃ gave a cyclohexene yield of 58.1%.

    In this paper the different methods,such as ambient solid-state method and homogeneous precipitation method,were used to prepare the precursor of zinc oxide sorbent. The effects of reaction temperature and oxygen concentration on the in-situ regeneration of zinc oxide sorbent were investigated on the thermal balance device. Shrinking core model was employed to describe the kinetics of in-situ regeneration process of the precursor. The result showed that when the regeneration conversion rate was less than 80%,the regeneration reaction was mainly controlled by surface chemical reaction. When the regeneration conversion rate was higher than 85%,the regeneration reaction was mainly controlled by intra-particle diffusion. According to Arrhenius equation,the pre-exponential factors and activation energies of chemical reaction of the apparent reaction rate constant were 4.45m/s,43.12kJ/mol for ambient solid-state method and 1.01m/s,65.76kJ/mol for homogeneous precipitation method,respectively. The effective diffusivity factor and apparent activation energy of internal diffusion of the ambient solid-state method were 5.42×10-2m2/s and 38.38kJ/mol,and those of homogeneous precipitation method were 1.29×10-3m2/s and 43.29kJ/mol,respectively.

    Olefins are important industrial chemicals,but the energy consumption in their production is very large. In this work,[M3(HCOO)6](M=Fe,Co,Ni)were synthesized using solvothermal method and characterized by XRD,N2-sorption,SEM. We studied the pore structure effect on their ethylene and propylene adsorption properties. In a fixed-bed gas separation apparatus,ethylene/propylene separation abilities of[M3(HCOO)6] series were studied under dynamic conditions. The results showed that the pore sizes in MOFs can be rationally tuned through metal substitution. Larger pore sizes will lead to higher ethylene and propylene adsorption capacities,but lower propylene/ethylene adsorption selectivity and separation efficiency. Smaller pore sizes will increase the propylene adsorption,thus improve their propylene/ethylene adsorption selectivity and separation ability. In this work,we show that metal substitution on[M3(HCOO)6] series can effectively increase the propylene/ethylene separation ability,and this strategy provides an idea for efficient separation of light hydrocarbons.

    The polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)composite ultrafiltration membrane was prepared using semi-interpenetrating polymer network(semi-IPN)method. According to the membrane properties and its structure observed by SEM,the best conditions for building PVA/PVDF semi-IPN structure by acetalation of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)and glutaraldehyde(GD)were that the addition of polyvinyl alcohol was 4.0%(mass percentage)and the ratio of glutaraldehyde to PVA was 0.5 in the casting solution. Performance of the semi-IPN structure composite membrane reached the best when the casting solution formula was PVDF/PVA/PVP/GD/NMP=16/4/3/2/75,with the flux=612.3L/(m2·h),the contact angle=48.3°,the BSA rejection=98.7%,the blasting pressure=1.0MPa,and the adsorption capacity of BSA 45.3μg/cm2. The composition and structure of the membrane were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and infrared analyzer(FTIR). After treating practical petrochemical wastewater for a month,the water flux was 144.4L/(m2·h),the removal rate of COD was 80.4%,and the turbidity removal rate was about 97.2%. Compared with the parameters of the membrane prepared by the formula without the semi-IPN structure,the PVA/PVDF composite membrane had larger water flux,enhanced hydrophilicity,higher anti-pollution and backwashing capacity and therefore the comprehensive performance of the membrane was increased significantly.

    Large quantities of slag dumped in the open are contributing to the absence of recovery and utilization of valuable metals as well as potential environmental pollution to water and soil arisen by heavy metal contamination. The mineralogical characteristics and researches on recovering valuable metals from typical copper slag produced by pyrometallurgical process were summarized in the present work. The advantage and limitation of outstanding treatment methods which are presently performed to dispose of the slag for the recovery of iron and copper contained were analyzed and discussed,such as mineral separation,hydrometallurgical extraction,pyrometallurgical impoverishment,high temperature oxidation and high temperature reduction,etc. The prospective trends were predicted. The analyzing results obtained showed that the slow cooling followed by flotation and hydrometallurgical extraction are high effective method for recycling of copper contained in the smelting slag with a high content copper. Especially the process of high pressure oxidative acid leaching has excellent application prospect as it can inhibit the leaching of iron. Mineral phase reconfiguration for utilizing resource is effective to recover copper and iron in the slag with low content of copper. The process that calcium oxide is added into the molten slag prior to modification and cooling slow followed by flotation and magnetic separation is prospective to be applied,as the reason that copper and iron contained in the slag can be effectively recycled,and that flotation tailings can be directly used in building materials industry.

    Nitrous oxide(N2O)is a potent greenhouse gas and can result in the destruction of the ozone layer. N2O emission from biological nitrogen removal in domestic wastewater treatment plant has aroused widely attention in recent years. To better understand the mechanism of N2O production in denitrification,this review concisely summarized the pathways of N2O production and the influencing factors affecting N2O production,such as carbon source,C/N ratio,electron acceptor,dissolved oxygen(DO),pH,solid retention time(SRT)and nitrous oxide reductase inhibitors. Previous investigation indicated that,in some cases,electron competition among the four reduction steps in denitrification could be the ultimate cause of N2O accumulation,and electron competition might cooperate with some other environmental factors,such as pH,to conduce the N2O accumulation. This review then gave an introduction on the techniques of using electron transfer inhibitors to manipulate the electron acceptor(s) involved in denitrification and using redox mediators to provide fast using electron donors in denitrification,and discussed the possibility of applying both techniques to study the electron competition process. Finally,this review proposed that studying the carbon oxidation process and the nitrogen reduction process separately could be a strategy to investigate the electron competition process. This review is conducive to reveal the key factors leading to N2O and other denitrification intermediates accumulation,and to provide operation strategies to reduce the N2O emission during denitrification in wastewater treatment plant.

    The factors affecting acid-catalyzed liquefaction of chitin were studied by single factor experiments. FTIR was used to examine the major functional groups of liquefied residues and products;SEM,XRD and TGA were employed to investigate the surface morphology,degree of crystallinity and thermostability of residues,respectively. A kinetic model was constructed and used to provide an insight into the relationship between reaction rate and residue content at different temperatures. The results indicated that a higher temperature,a larger catalyst dosage,or a longer reaction time was associated with a lower residue content. Kinetic studies revealed that a complex multistage reaction was involved in acid-catalyzed liquefaction of chitin,having an apparent activation energy Ea=34.5kJ/mol,a pre-exponential factor A=254.17s-1,a mean enthalpy of activation △Hr=30.86kJ/mol,and a mean entropy of activation △Sr=-210J/mol. The reaction on the whole was endothermic and its apparent reaction rate constant increased with raising temperature. The reaction system changed orderly with the input of external energy.

    To fight against global warming and control the CO2 emissions,several factors influencing the kinetics of CO2 adsorption during moisture swing technology are systematically analyzed to solve the problem of slow CO2 adsorption rate and poor kinetic performance under ultra-low CO2 atmosphere. The multiple influencing mechanisms of structure parameter,temperature and humidity on CO2 adsorption kinetics were studied through experimental analysis and theoretical model. Firstly,the CO2 adsorption membrane was prepared by phase inversion technique,and then the porous and heterogeneous membrane with controllable structure and adjustable functional groups was obtained after optimization and screening,through which the reversible adsorption of CO2 was realized. In light of the complex mass transfer steps of CO2 adsorption for heterogeneous adsorbents,the traditional Shrinking Core Model was modified to describe the CO2 adsorption process and all resistance during CO2 adsorption was obtained. Meanwhile,the effects of the structure parameters,temperature and humidity on total mass transfer coefficient and individual step(diffusion and reaction)were studied by experiments. The results showed that the product layer diffusion resistance dominated the total mass transfer during CO2 adsorption,indicating that the optimization of the adsorbent should focus on reducing product layer diffusion resistance.

    In order to reduce the cost of denitrification of thermal power units under the condition of satisfying the environmental emission standards,a calculation model of the denitrification cost for electricity generation was established for the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)denitrification system of a 350MW coal-fired unit. The cost of denitrification is divided into two parts:fixed denitrification cost for electricity generation and variable denitrification cost for electricity generation. The fixed denitrification cost for electricity generation includes depreciation cost,accounting cost,catalyst replacement cost,overhaul cost,labor cost,compensation price and other cost. The variable denitrification cost for electricity generation includes cost of electricity,cost of ammonia injection and cost of sewage. Taking denitrification cost for electricity generation as the evaluation index,the optimization model of denitrification system was established by using support vector machine and particle swarm coupling algorithm,and the whole load section was optimized for denitration system. The results show that the prediction model can accurately predict the denitrification cost for electricity generation,and the maximum correlation coefficient is 99.9011%,which is in accordance with the actual operation of the power plant. The amount of ammonia spray required after the model optimization is reduced to 0.1578t/h,and the denitrification cost for electricity generation is significantly reduced. The system economy is improved,which can be used to guide the economic operation of the power plant.

    Aiming to solve the problem that coking wastewater was not in proportion for carbon and nitrogen nutrients,abundant in poisonous components and difficult to be anaerobic treatment,self-developed novel biological fluidized bed with three phases was employed as high loading aerobic pretreatment method for the coking wastewater. The investigation mainly focused on the performance of the proposed aerobic reactor. Moreover,variation of critical organic components in aerobic biological process was analyzed by UV-Vis absorption spectrum and GC-MS methods. The main results could be listed as the following. When the influent average COD concentration is 4818.9mg/L, ambient temperature is between 28℃ to 33℃ degree,dissolved oxygen is in the range of 1.0mg/L to 1.5 mg/L and MLSS is about 8.0 g/L,then the organic loading of the reactor is in the range of 3.53 to 3.74kgCOD/(m3·d),and phenol,benzpyrole and phenylamine in wastewater can be efficiently degraded. Average removal ratio of COD,phenols and SCN-can be over 70%、99% and 80%,respectively. By significantly reducing concentration of poisonous organics such as phenols,SCN-,CN-,and so on,the inhibition bottleneck for subsequent anaerobic hydrolysis and aerobic nitrification processes can be relieved. The reason the preposition aerobic fluidized bed can act as a necessary guarantee for high efficient biological treatment for coking wastewater can be attributed to the enhanced mixing and mass transfer and high sludge concentration in the proposed reactor. Therefore,,because aerobic biological fluidized bed has good mixing and mass transfer efficiencies and high sludge concentration,employing it as a pretreatment biological unit process for toxic and refractory organic wastewaters together with high ammonium concentration has some technical advantages,or other,prepositioned aerobic biological fluidized bed is indispensable to guarantee highly efficient treatment of these wastewaters.

    A novel and efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst has been successfully prepared using co-precipitation method,in which the Fe2O3 particles were loaded onto the surface of opal. The catalyst was then used to degrade the Rhodamine B(RhB). The structural characterization of catalyst was analyzed by N2 adsorption,X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The COD(chemical oxygen demand)removal and the influencing factors of degradation effect were analyzed,such as pH,temperature,catalyst dosage,H2O2 dosage and initial dye concentration. The results showed that the decolorization rate of RhB and COD removal were 96.49% and 50.51% respectively under agitation after 120min treatment with pH of 2.5,reaction temperature 30℃,dosage of catalyst 0.15g/L,dosage of H2O2 9.0mmol/L and initial concentration of RhB 40.0mg/L. The first-order kinetic equation was fitted to the reaction process,and R2=0.98 under the optimal condition,which indicated that the reaction process obeys the first-order kinetic equation. The decolorization rate of RhB was still higher than 85% when the catalyst used for 5 times,which proved that the catalyst has a good reusability. Finally,the reaction process was analyzed and a possible photocatalytic mec hanism was proposed.

    The photocatalysts of x%Ce-TiO2/SiO2(x=0,0.1,0.3,0.5,0.8,1,mass fraction)were prepared with Si(OC2H5)4,Ti(OC2H5)4 and Ce(NO3)3·6H2O as precursors via a sol-gel method. The XRD date showed that thermal stability of TiO2 can be improved by introducing Cerium and SiO2 into it,and phase transformation from anatase to rutile can be inhibited effectively. The analysis results of XPS and FTIR showed that chemical bonds are formed between TiO2 and SiO2 by the appearance of Si-O-Ti and Si-O-Si bonds in 0.3% Ce-TiO2/SiO2. The result of SEM and BET showed that 0.3%Ce-TiO2/SiO2 has smaller particle size,more uniform size distribution and larger specific surface area(194.98m2/g) than pure TiO2. The Rh B was used as the target pollutant,and effects of cerium content on photodegradation efficiency of Ce-TiO2/SiO2 were studied under the condition of ultraviolet light and visible light irradiation. The results showed that the TiO2 10% SiO2 and 0.3% Ce has the best photo-degradation performance. The degradation efficiency could reach to 99% and 78% after reaction for 30min under the ultraviolet light and 180min visible light irradiation,respectively. Compared to P25(8%),the removal rate(41%)of TOC of 0.3%Ce-TiO2/SiO2 showed higher degaradation of phenol.
