    This paper first summarized the features of static mixing technology. The recent progress of researches on statistical characteristics of pressure fluctuation signals (PFS) and velocity field,multi-fractal,and chaotic mixing,were mainly described. The experiment results showed that the relationship between the maximums of pressure fluctuations and the inlet flow rates can be described by a quadric equation and the power amplitude follows power-law attenuation as the frequency increased. The chaotic advection were generated and field synergy between velocity and temperature gradient can be effectively improved by the coupled secondary flow derived from the free vortex in the internal wall and the forced vortex in the bulk zones. In the end,the intensification impacts of flow division,flow reversal and radial mixing of the twisted-leaves in the static mixer on formation of CO2 hydrate were summarized as well. Finally,the mixing mechanism of the multiphase fluid in the static mixer could be further interpreted based on the integration of CFD,mapping approach and LIF,PIV,PFS tools.

    A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation,consisting of a homogeneous multiphase model,VOF method and SST turbulence model,was performed to investigate the influence of the flow in orifice pan liquid distributor on the uniformity of outflow through orifices. Firstly,a deviation from the standard value (flow rate of outflow through single orifice) was proposed to evaluate the uniformity of outflow through orifices. The influence of the flow in distributor on the outflow through orifices was quantified by the value of the deviation. Subsequently,based on the simulated results and the concept of the flow region in front of the orifices,it was found that the non-uniformity of the outflow through orifices was caused by the non-uniformity of the flow in distributor. Finally,the structure of the orifice pan liquid distributor was optimized by changing feed pipe positions. The simulated results showed that the liquid distribution performance was improved because the large-scale maldistribution was avoided when the feed positions were changed.

    The performance of passive direct methanol fuel cell can be greatly influenced by the removal of the carbon dioxide produced from catalyst layer diffusion layer and the anode channel. The study of gas-liquid two-phase flow behavior taking place in the anode channel is necessary for the optimization of the passive direct methanol fuel cell. A volume of fluid model was used to simulate the formation of bubbles in the rest methanol solution under various conditions. Experiments of visualization were conducted to validate the results. The results showed that portrait of bubble was elongated with buoyancy and surface tension,bubble tail was cut under the sheer force of liquid. The inclination angle may get bubble detachment more easily. Bubbles were able to merge with gas rate increasing. Bubbles detachment could form a chain in high methyl concentration solution. The results help to design and optimize the diffusion layer.

    Gas-solid flow behavior of a 65 t/h high-low bed CFB has been simulated using Eulerian-Eulerian model (EEM) with kinetic theory of granular flow by Fluent,a commercial CFD software. RNG k-ε per phase turbulence model,Gidaspow drag model and Schiller-naumann drag model were adopted to evaluate the governing equations. The comparative study with regard to single size particle model and different particle model based on EEM was performed. The diameter of particles in single size particle model was unique,while three kinds of diameter in different particle models were set to achieve the size distribution. Gas-solid flow characteristics were obtained for solid velocity,pressure,solid volume fraction. The calculated pressure was compared with the measured data. The results showed that the Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase model can predict preferably the gas-solid flow behavior. The conclusion of numerical study provided theory basis for the optimization design,operation and large-scale of high-low bed CFB.

    With the catalysis of hydrochloric acid,benzaldehyde was continuously synthesized from benzal chloride in a micro-channel reactor. The effects of temperature,catalyst starting concentration,reactant mole ratio,and residence time on the hydrolysis reaction were investigated. At optimized reaction condition i.e.,20% catalyst starting concentration,140 ℃,n(hydrochloric acid)∶n(benzal chloride)=15∶1 and residence time of 370 s,the conversion of hydrolysis of benzal chloride reaches 69.2%,with a benzaldehyde selectivity (GC) beyond 99.9%. Compared to traditional industrial techniques,this makes the process continuously and time effectively. With hydrochloric acid as the catalyst,it avoided the pollution to final product caused by traditional metal catalyst residues.

    The characteristics and kinetics of pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis of the cellulose and lignin were investigated using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The TG/DTG curves show that the pyrolysis process of lignin alone has two different temperature zones; the rapid pyrolysis of cellulose happens in the temperature zone of 300—380 ℃; mutual inhibition occurs in co-pyrolysis at the low content of cellulose (≤40%),and synergistic effect appears at the high content of cellulose(≥60%). The results of kinetics analysis testify that the process of pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin can be described with a first order reaction model. The activation energy(E) increases with the content of cellulose increasing further,but its value is always lower than the activation energy of linear additivity(Ec),which partly illustrates that synergistic effect happens in the process of co-pyrolysis.

    Based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD), a traditional straight parallel flow channel was equipped with a sloping baffle and a flow weir to improve the uniformity of electrolyte distribution and to investigate the fluid flow behavior for all-vanadium reodx flow battery. The hydrodynamics characteristics of vanadium electrolyte in sectional form multi-channel of serpentine flow channel was discussed. The numerical simulation results showed that the sectional form multi-channel of serpentine flow channel can not only keep the good uniformity of electrolyte distribution,but also be able to reduce flowing resistance and pump consumption. In addition,it can optimize the distribution of electrolyte concentration and improve the battery efficiency by choosing the appropriate flow rate of electrolyte and more uniformity of electrolyte distribution.

    Copper-zinc catalysts prepared by co-precipitation and physical mixing were characterized by TPR,XRD and N2O adsorption-decomposition techniques to analyze the roles of ZnO and Cu in the dehydrogenation of sec-butanol (SBA). The studies suggested that Cu0 were active sites and ZnO was provided with the properties of dispersion and anti-sintering of Cu species. ZnO could effectively disperse Cu species and prevent Cu0 from sintering because (CuZn)x(OH)y(CO3)z(x=1,5;y=2,6;z=1,2) precursor was formed in catalyst preparation and highly dispersed CuO-ZnO solid solution was shaped after calcination. Optimum Cu/Zn molar ratio was also studied for the dehydrogenation tests of SBA. Cu/Zn molar ratio at 1∶1 exhibited excellent reactivity. Conversion of SBA and yield of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) reached 80.54% and 76.04%,respectively,under atmospheric pressure,at reaction temperature 240 ℃ and weight space velocity 17.5 h?1. The dehydrogenation activity of copper-zinc catalyst was not in linear relationship with Cu0 surface area,indicating that dehydrogenation of SBA could be a structure-sensitive reaction.

    Selective hydrogenation of butadiene in C4 mixture to produce 1-butene on Pd-Ag/Al2O3 catalyst was studied. The test results showed that selectivity of 1-butene produced from 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation was closely related to both inlet 1,3-butadiene concentration and H2/butadiene mole ratio. Under the conditions of inlet temperature 40 ℃,pressure 1.0 MPa,liquid space velocity 40h?1,when inlet butadiene concentration was more than 2.6%,selectivity of 1-butene maintained at more than 66%;when inlet butadiene concentration was less than 2.6%,selectivity of 1-butene began to decline as isomerization reaction was intensified. When inlet butadiene concentration was less than 1.0%,outlet 1,3-butadiene concentration could be reduced to less than 1.0×10-5. With the increase of H2/butadiene mole ratio,1-butene selectivity declined linearly when inlet butadiene concentration was between 0.50% and 0.85%,indicating that excess H2 with respect to butadiene was an important reason for isomerization and hydrogenation reactions of butene. H2-TPR and XPS results showed that Pd-Ag alloy was formed during catalyst reduction.

    Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is of great importance not only for the environment but also for the resource and economic benefit. Development of cathode materials for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide and researches on these electrode materials in aqueous,organic and ion-liquid media are reviewed in this paper,and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. In aqueous media,adequate H+ is provided for the CO2 hydrogenation reaction with a comparatively easy process,but the product shows less obvious promise for fuel use. In organic solution,high efficiency is achieved while reaction mechanism follows complicated pathways. Ion-liquid is a new research field with a much lower overpotential for CO2? formation,nevertheless the products are much more complex and difficult to separate. A prospect for further developments in this field is presented,requiring deeper research on composite material and reaction interface.

    Preparation of chlorogenic acid (CGA) imprinted polymer based on the surface imprinting technique was carried out by using nano-TiO2 as sacrificial support with CGA as template,MAA, EGDMA and AIBN as functional monomer,cross-linker and initiator,respectively. Structural characterization was performed by FTIR and SEM analysis. Static adsorption of the template on the polymers was investigated. The results indicated strong adsorption capability and higher adsorption selectivity (relative selectivity coefficient of 3.353) for the hollow molecularly imprinted polymer (H-MIP) toward the template molecule. Freundlich model was shown better than Langmuir model to describe isotherm adsorption behavior of H-MIP toward the template. This H-MIP also revealed good adsorption capability when it was utilized in solid phase micro-enrichment of chlorogenic acid from the methanol extract of Eucommia ulmoides.

    In order to study the application of emulsion explosives in synthesizing nanosized ceria,emulsion explosives,in which Ce(NO3)3?6H2O and NH4NO3 acted as the main oxidant,were prepared by detonation method. The detonation velocity of emulsion explosives with different content of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O was measured. Their exothermal character was tested by Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC). Results indicated that the detonation velocity of emulsion explosives was significantly affected by the content of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O and the content was suggested to be no more than 50% for emulsion explosives in detonation synthesis. The heat output and the exothermic rate of emulsion base depended on the content of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O in emulsion explosives,which should be kept within 30%—50% in detonation synthesis. The content of Ce(NO3)3?6H2O in emulsion explosives was 40%,the nano ceria size was about 70nm,and crystal form was cubic.

    A novel polyamine microsphere was prepared using inverse emulsion as the templet. In the W/O emulsion of aqueous solution of polyethylenimine(PEI)/ liquid paraffin,glutaraldehyde (GA),the crosslinking agent,was added in a dropwise feeding mode. After the droplets coalescence,the crosslinking reaction happened at the interface of the emulsion droplets,and the polyamine microspheres were obtained. The microsphere is entirely spherical and shows a smooth outer surface. The size distribution of the microspheres ranges 0.37~4.29 ?m. The average particle size of the obtained miscrosheres is 1.44 ?m. The isoelectric point of the microsphere is 10.6. The analysis of TGA and DTG on the microspheres indicates that crosslinking significantly improves the decomposition temperature of PEI. The investigation results of protein adsorption demonstrates that the microspheres can selectively adsorb lipase from a mixture of lipase,cellulase,?-amylase,and pectinase. The maximum adsorption capacity of the microsphere for the lipase tested is 127.8 mg/g.

    Sodium alginate microspheres are traditional sustained releasing materials;gel strength enhancement and capillary porosity increment are effective ways to improve their sustained releasing ability. Atomic adsorption spectrometry along with micro appearance characterization and swelling experiments are used to explore the feasibility of sustained releasing of Cu2+ of sodium alginate/palygorskite microspheres. Palygorskite improves the gel strength of the microspheres as well as their sustained releasing ability. Comparing with the sodium alginate microspheres,the composite ones prepared with proposed method had better adsorption ability (from 91.82% to 94.60%). In addition,the cumulative releasing percentage within 2 hours decreased from 66.35% to 22.78%. Thus,palygorskite/sodium alginate composite microspheres can be an ideal carrier for long term sustained releasing drugs.

    Furfural is a highly versatile and key derivative used in the manufacture of a wide range of important chemicals. However,it is also associated with low yield,energy-intensive and negative environment impact in conventional process for producing furfural. Current mainstream techniques (Quaker Oats,Agrifuran,Petrole-chimie,Escher Wyss and Rosenlew) for furfural production are reviewed;the mechanism and kinetics of hydrolysis of hemicelluloses into furfural are analyzed. The equipment up to date and alteration for furfural production are also discussed. Besides,new furfural manufacturing-processes are analyzed by optimizing solvent,catalyst,separation and heat-up. In order to minimize the impact of furfural production to environment,the research on new green catalyst and solvent system should be more emphasized.

    Radical scavenging ability of a novel intramolecular complex antioxidant towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH?) free radical was studied by uv-vis spectrophotometer,and compared with that of antioxidant BHT and antioxidant 1076. Results showed that the radical scavenging ability of the novel intramolecular complex antioxidant was superior to that of commercial antioxidants BHT and 1076. The scavenging ability increased with the increase of the concentration of the antioxidant,and the scavenging ability increased first and then kept constant afterwards. Temperature has little influence on the reaction rate,which showed that activation energy was lower and this reaction can proceed rapidly at room temperature. The antioxidation performance for polyethylene was evaluated by melt flow rate and oxidation induction time. Results also showed that the antioxidant ability of the synthesized complex antioxidant was superior to the commercial antioxidant BHT and 1076.

    This study was aiming at investigating the effects of ozonation-activated carbon technology on membrane fouling mitigation in membrane bioreactor (MBR). The results from the short-term experiment showed that power activated carbon (PAC) would improve the efficiency of ozone. When the ozone dosage was more than 0.25 mg/(gSS),the filterability of mixed liquor would deteriorate. Analysis of residual ozone in the effluent indicated that PAC would benefit to maintain the constant ozone concentration in the bulk solution. The introduction of ozonation-activated carbon technology into the MBR system would be beneficial to the system because membrane fouling could be controlled in long-term experiment. The microbial activity was somewhat inhibited,however,the effluent quality of the system was affected at a minimal level. Ozonation-activated carbon could reduce the protein and carbohydrate fractions in the soluble microbial products (SMP). The amount of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB) and the protein fractions in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were also decreased obviously by ozonation-activated carbon technology. These findings indicated the feasibility of using ozonation-activated carbon technology to control MBR membrane fouling.

    The reaction kinetics of straw catalytic gasification was investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Also the catalytic gasification of char from co-gasification of petroleum coke and biomass was studied. A modified random pore model was used to correlate the relationship between gasification rate and carbon conversion rate. The apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factors of biomass with different catalysts were obtained. The results indicated that the gasification activity of biomass semi-char with catalysts was enhanced apparently. The catalytic activity order of different chars was found to be K-char>Ca-char> Mg-char>raw-char>acid washing-char. The increase of the gasification rate of petroleum coke blended with biomass indicated that the gasification reaction is enhanced by biomass char. The apparent activation energy order of different chars in gasification is K-char

    Cellulose was extracted from furfural residue by the Milox three-stage method with formic acid and hydrogen peroxide as agents,which was combined with cooking and bleaching of alkaline hydrogen peroxide,and the totally chlorine-free bleaching process was accomplished in the separation of cellulose and lignin from furfural residue. The effects of formic acid dosage,hydrogen peroxide dosage,reaction temperature and time on the extraction efficiency were discussed. The results showed that when the appropriate dosage of formic acid and hydrogen peroxide were 80ml and 14ml respectively,the first-stage reaction at the temperature of 80 ℃ for 2.5 hours,the second-stage reaction at 95 ℃ for 2.5 hours and the third-stage reaction at also 80 ℃ for 2.5 hours after filtering and adding the new equal agents to the filtrate,the cellulose yield was 41.92%,the content of extracted cellulose was 85.09% and the lignin content was 3.22%. The results excels the others and the practical value of furfural residue may be more improved.

    Dissolution and regeneration of cellulose from zoysia japonica in 1-ally-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl) by the activation of NaOH with different concentrations was studied. Component analysis of lignocellulose content in activated zoysia japonica suggested that activation could improve cellulose content and the structure and crystalline were destroyed to certain degree,i.e.,alkali activation could improve the reactivity of AMIMCl and zoysia japonica. It reached optimal when NAOH concentration was 10%. The chemical structure of the original and regenerated zoysia japonica was analyzed by NMR,XRD and FT-IR,which suggested that AMIMCl had a good solubility for cellulose in activated zoysia japonica. As an environmentally friendly solvent,AMIMCl could be easily recycled and reused.
