    The synthesis of ethylene glycol from syngas via hydrogenation of oxalate is a novel non-oil route to obtain bulk chemicals. Due to the “deficient oil,lean gas,rich coal” energy structure in China,research on the technology bears a realistic and strategic significance. This paper introduces recent research on Cu-based catalyst applied in the hydrogenation of oxalate to EG and presents a discussion on the influences of support and additive on the activity and selectivity of catalyst. An insight was made on the catalyst structure and the formation mechanism of copper valence states,as well as its influences on catalytic performance. The internal diffusion and shaping process of the catalyst have also been discussed and analyzed in this paper. Moreover,the paper introduces the progress in scaling up and engineering of the process. Developing new catalyst with high activity and mechanical strength has been proposed as one important subject for the hydrogenation of oxalate. Furthermore,the application of irregular shape catalyst may tackle the engineering problem of the higher bed resistance of catalyst. Finally,developing thermal stable Cu-based catalyst is suggested to be one of the important aspects of this subject.

    Vapor-liquid equilibrium data of the systems were measured at 101.3 kPa with ethanol-DMC,DMC-furfural and ethanol-DMC-furfural in a solvent ratio of 1∶1. It was shown that furfural can enlarge the relative volatility of ethanol and DMC,and the azeotropic point disappeared when mole fraction of furfural reached 0.25,indicating the feasibility of separating the ethanol-DMC mixture using extractive distillation with furfural as the solvent. Aspen Plus software was used to simulate the continuous extractive distillation processes of ethanol-DMC separation,and the single-column continuous extractive distillation process was preferred than the double-column process.

    The properties of gas-solid two-phase flow in spouted bed with conical 60°and cylindrical diameter 0.44 m were studied. Influences of air velocity in spouted height of fountain,particle concentration,and particle velocity were also investigated. The results showed that the relationship between fountain and air velocity was linear with a linear coefficient of 0.9997. The particle volume fraction was big and decreased with the increase of radial distance in the center of the fountain. It decreased with the increase of height in the fountain and then increased at a certain point of the fountain height. The particle volume fraction decreased gradually with air velocity increase. The decreasing particle volume fraction depended on the air velocity increase. Particle velocity decreased with the fountain height increase. It increased with the increase of air velocity. And the increasing particle velocity also depended on the air velocity increase.

    A device was designed to measure the solubility of CO2 in the aqueous amine in this research. The following data were obtained,carbon dioxide solubility in 2 mol/L aqueous DEA at 308 K、318 K、328 K、358 K under CO2 partial pressure of 0—150 kPa. Meanwhile,mixtures of additives such as DETA,MDEA,AEE as well as SG and aqueous DEA were compounded and the solubility of CO2 in such mixtures were measured. The molar ratio of DEA and the additive in the mixture was 3∶1 and the total concentration of the amine remained at 2 mol/L. The results showed that elevating the partial pressure of CO2 may contribute to the increase of the solubility in the aqueous DEA,and the temperature played a reverse role. Impacts of different additives on the solubility of CO2 was presented to be DETA > AEE > SG > MDEA.

    Four chelating resins were selected to compare their static adsorption and desorption on Fe2+ in the organic amine desulfurization liquid. D751 chelating resin showed high selectivity and good desorption property. Static sorption experiments were carried out to study the adsorption equilibrium of Fe2+ on D751 chelating resin at different temperatures,and the adsorption mechanism was discussed by using FI- IR. The experimental results showed that the adsorption behavior of Fe2+ on D751 resin could be well described by either Langmuir or Freundich isotherm and the negative value of ΔG and the positive value of ?S showed that the adsorption was a spontaneous process with increasing entropy,and the increase of temperature would benefit the adsorption process. Ion exchange and chelating adsorption were responsible for the removal of Fe2+ by FI-IR.

    The iron oxide adsorbent,which was modified by aluminum oxide,was prepared by coprecipitation method,and the adsorbents were characterized by specific surface area (BET) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of preparation conditions and adsorption conditions on the performance of adsorbents in the removal of H2S were studied using a fixed adsorption bed. The experimental results showed that:the adsorption capacity of the iron oxide for the removal of H2S was improved significantly by aluminum oxide introduction. The absorbent with iron oxide to aluminum oxide mass ratio of 1∶0.5,and the CTAB mass fraction of 2%,calcination temperature of 500 ℃,was found to be the best. At the gas velocity of 20 mL/min,and adsorption desulfurization temperature of 80℃,the desulfurization rate and penetrate sulfur capacity reached 99.3% and 105mg/g,respectively. Compared with unmodified iron oxide,the penetrate sulfur capacity of the aluminum oxide modified iron oxide was improved by 49.8 mg/g.

The comparative research with paraffin-base heavy oil was conducted on raw material properties,technological conditions of reaction,product distribution and properties with the use of raffinate oil as feed for FCC reaction. Experimental results indicated that raffinate oil had a fine FCC performance and its suitable reaction conditions were as follows:Catalyst to oil 6.0,reaction temperature 520 ℃,weight hourly space velocity 12.0 h?1.Compared with heavy oil,liquid yield of raffinate oil increased 1.69 % and coke yield increased by 0.02 %. Under the same conditions of catalyst to oil 5.0,reaction temperature 500 ℃,weight hourly space velocity 14.4 h?1,liquid yield of raffinate oil increased by 0.19 % and coke yield increased by 2.55 %. Octane value of FCC gasoline from raffinate oil was the same as heavy oil while cetane value of diesel was 3.7 lower and its regenerated catalysts has a lower degree of deactivation. Raffinate oil could completely replace heavy oil as FCC feedstock.

    A series of Cu/Zn/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method and modified via the addition of different amounts of Pr as rare-earth promoter. The influence of Pr2O3 amount on the structure of Cu/Zn/ZrO2 catalyst was investigated by using XRD,H2-TPR and CO2-TPD. The catalytic performances of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over Cu/Zn/ZrO2 catalysts modified by five different amounts of Pr promoters were tested in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. The results showed that the addition of rare-earth promoter of Pr could obviously enhance the surface alkalinity of catalyst,promote dispersion of the active component efficiently and stabilize the active center of the catalyst. Optimum catalytic activity was obtained over Cu/Zn/ZrO2 catalyst with a Pr2O3 content of 3%.

    Form-stable phase change materials were prepared by taking low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene/octene copolymer (POE) as the cladding material and paraffin wax as phase change material respectively. SEM,DSC and rheological curve were used to analyze and characterize the blends. SEM showed completely different morphology for the two systems. DSC indicated that the more the paraffin wax,the greater the latent heat. The latent heat of POE/paraffin wax blend was greater than that of LDPE/paraffin wax blend. Rheological properties showed that paraffin wax improved the storage modulus of the matrix in its solid state. In LDPE/paraffin wax system,LDPE formed a continuous phase,but as the melting temperature of POE was very close to paraffin wax,we could not distinguish which one was continuous from the rheological curve.

    Time-temperature indicator (TTI) is a novel means to monitor the security of some host products such as food and vaccines,which can record the course and reflect the remaining shelf life of these host products by time-temperature accumulative effects of physical and chemical change,thus solving the problem of shelf life is not a real-time monitoring indicator of host product quality. The latest advances in TTIs were reviewed;their kinds,working principles,preparations and applications were expounded. Kinds of TTIs were divided into diffuse type,polymerization reaction type and enzyme reaction type by their indicating principle. The diffusion-type indicator is carried by the flow of molten material directions,polymerization type is for the carbon-carbon triple bond polymerization reaction and the molecular conformation change induced color change to play the time-temperature indicator effects,enzyme reaction type indicator is through the starch with enzyme color reaction to time temperature indicator. Preparation methods are divided into physical,chemical and physical chemical method. Applications choice is also discussed.

    The current situation of recovering cutting slurry waste was reviewed in this paper. Most recovery methods only consider recovering PEG and SiC,neglecting the more valuable silicon in the cutting slurry waste. The research progress of physical method,chemical method and indirect recovery for silicon was introduced. The current physical method such as physical settlement,heavy liquid separation,froth flotation,electrophores is separation,electric separation,high temperature treatment were also described. The chemical separation based on the differences of chemistry stability between SiC and Si were summarized. Their characteristics,advantages and disadvantages were compared. Due to the difficulties in recovering silicon on a large scale by those technologies,intensive research is still required in order to improve the yield and purity of silicon,reduce cost,and improve the work environment.

    The absorption of CO2 in the flue gas by alkanolamine solution was simulated using the Aspen Plus software. The amount of absorbent,load of lean liquid and reboiler heat duty were used to evaluate the decarbonization process,and the absorptions and desorptions of different alkanolamines were compared. The results showed that the CO2 removal rate increased with the absorbent amount and absorber progression,and lower flue gas CO2 concentration can improve the removal rate. The increase in lean liquid load reduced the absorbent absorption capacity. The minimum regeneration heat consumption was under the condition of αlean=0.08 at the same CO2 removal rate. The reboiler total duty increased with the increasing of the CO2 recovery,but the specific heat consumption first dropped and then increased slightly. The specific heat consumption obtains a minimum value around the CO2 recovery of 80%. The absorption capacities of various alkanolamine solutions were PZ > MEA > DEA≈AMP > MDEA,degeneration capacities were PZ > AMP > MEA. These solutions should be mixed to achieve the best results in absorption and desorption.

    There is plenty of formic acid existing in wastewater discharged from industrial production. One flow passage system of electrodeionization was designed for formic acid waste-water treatment. According to “I-U” and “pH-U” characteristic curves,the influences of the ion exchange membrane types,the ion exchange resin types,the ratio of resins,the flow rates and the operational parameters on separation performance were investigated. The results show that the optimal performance could be achieved when the EDI stack consisted of heterogeneous membrane,100% gel-type anion resin filled in dilute compartment and the flow rate of dilute stream was 2.5 L/h. The concentration of formic acid has less impact on energy consumption and the change of dilute compartment solution concentration was basically the same. When the concentration of formic acid in dilute compartment was 1.00%,EDI stack could achieve higher current and lower power consumption. The study results can guide the industrial electrodeionization design for formic acid wastewater treatment.

    In order to reduce the on-line membrane fouling resistances of the precoated dynamic membrane treating the emulsified oil wastewater,a coupling process of precoated dynamic membrane with Fenton reagent for treatment of oily wastewater was studied. Impacts of Fe2+/H2O2 ratios,pH values and operation temperatures on membrane fouling degree were investigated. The results showed that the addition of Fenton reagent obviously reduced the on-line membrane fouling resistances and removed the contaminants from the solution and surface of dynamic membrane. The optimal ratio of the CH2O2/CFeSO4 was about 1,and the steady permeate flux was over 3 times more than that without the Fenton reagent. The Fenton reagent performed better to reduce the membrane fouling in acidic conditions. The highest level of the steady flux of membrane was obtained at pH 3. The optimum operating temperature was 312 K. Under conditions at higher temperatures,the steady flux of membrane was in a low level despite the high initial flux. The reduction extent of the Fenton reagent on the on-line membrane fouling resistance reduced as the oil concentration increased. The oil retention ratio was less than 1% with adding and not adding Fenton reagent.

    Utilization of RFCC slurry oil has been limited by the content of solid impurity. How to resolve this problem is critical for subsequent production. Considering domestic catalytic slurry oil,Jinzhou Design Institute adopted the unique two-stage filtering technology of Pinfu Co.Ltd,and the majority of solid particles and asphaltene could be filtered by the first-stage filter. For the second-stage filter,metal powder-sintered filter elements with surface coating greatly improved opening efficiency and through flow and also the effect of backflush on filter elements. Offline washing of filter elements promised that filter elements could be reused after a work cycle. The content of solid particles in slurry oil after filtering was lower than 0.01 percent,which improved the quality of slurry oil produced.
