    This paper reviewed several methods of separating and recovering BF3 complexes,including adsorption,extraction,adsorption,subsidence and cracking. SiO2 and metallofluoride can be easily produced in adsorption method,which suited to small-scale applications. In extraction method,the cheaper and less poisonous alcohols are superior to hydrofluorocarbons as the extraction reagents. Highly corrosive acids can be generated in the adsorption method;therefore,this method has been phased out. Subsidence method consumes large amounts of energy and is appropriate to small-scale applications. Four technologies of the cracking method were introduced in more detail in this paper,including flash-evaporation,flash-complexing ,distillation-phase separation and cracking-gas/liquid separation technology. The designed technology combining vacuum distillation with BF3 complexing was able to achieve high cracking rate,high BF3 separating and recovery rate.

    This paper introduced research developments in heat transfer enhancement and tube fouling prevention in the rotational flow tube. New technologies mainly include tube tension,surface groove,and compound heat transfer enhancement. Tube insertion can break boundary layer and achieve online anti-scaling and descaling automatically,however it is difficult to maintain constant heat exchanger efficiency due to normal wear on the wall. Surface groove can achieve heat transfer enhancement in and out of the tube,it also has relatively low fluid resistance,but the manufacturing process is complex. Compound heat transfer enhancement has high heat transfer capacities and the advantages of various heat transfer technologies,and its overall performances can be higher than one kind of technique. Thus compound heat transfer enhancement can be a prospective technology for future applications.

    In order to discuss the characteristics of the flow field in the Multiple impinging stream reactor,the flow field of the two nozzles opposed imping stream reactor and four nozzles opposed imping stream reactor under the different conditions were simulated by Fluent software. The import velocities were set as 5 m/s、10 m/s、15 m/s、20 m/s and 25 m/s. The simulation results showed that the average of flow velocity and the fluctuation of pressure increased to 4.1 times and 16.2 times,and the velocity gradient and the average of amplitude of pressure increased to 5.0 times and 25.4 times when the import velocity increased from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. The comparison of the two reactors indicated that greater average of velocity gradient and higher average of volatility of pressure were generated in the four nozzles opposed imping stream reactor. Both values were 1.2 times of that in the two nozzles opposed imping stream reactor,indicating that both shear force field and pulsation were more powerful in the four nozzles opposed imping stream reactor,more favorable for turbulent mixing within the reactor.

    An experiment of pyrolysis for oil shale sludge from Huadian and Wangqing at certain heating rates (5 ℃/min,10 ℃/min,20 ℃/min,40℃/min) was conducted using a thermogravimetric analyzer. And pyrolysis mechanism of oil shale sludge was investigated by analyzing through the gas separation characteristics. Results showed that three stages were involved in the process of oil shale sludge pyrolysis. First stage characterized moisture and lightweight components dissolution (20—180 ℃ ); in the second stage (180—360 ℃),was that heavy components volatilized steadily,which was research focus of the dynamics;in the third stage (360—600 ℃) semicoke carbonized and mineral substances reduced in weight. Researches showed that K2CO3 could effectively reduce the temperature of oil sludge’s pyrolysis and improve production rate of oil. However,Al2O3 not only had no obvious catalysis on the pyrolysis of oil shale sludge but also inhibited the process. The generated organic macromolecular degraded due to heat,resulting in the break of carbon-carbon bond of macromolecules’ side chain and the production of smaller molecules paraffin and unsaturated hydrocarbon. In the condition of low pressure and high temperature,the chain scission tended to happen at the end of carbon chain,causing the number of smaller molecule hydrocarbon to increase.

    Using air as gas working fluid and with liquids of different surface tensions (pure water,0.01% SDS solution,0.5% SDS solution,ethanol) as working fluids,a visualization experiment was conducted to study the split of annular flow through a T-junction with a rectangular cross section (100 μm×800 μm). The results showed that the liquid preferentially enters the side branch. Liquid taken off mainly concentrated in 0.25—0.65 and gas taken off mainly concentrated in 0.1—0.8. The rate of increase of liquid taken off become bigger with increase of gas taken off. It was found that the liquid taken off of annular flow decreases with an increase of superficial liquid velocity at a certain superficial gas velocity. When the superficial liquid velocity is certain,there is very little effect of inlet gas flow rate on the liquid taken off. We also found that the decrease in liquid surface tension make the liquid taken off increase. When the present data were compared to those from other diameter junctions,it is seen that the phase split characteristics of the annular flow is very dependent on pipe size.

    Pressure swing distillation process with heat integration was proposed for separation of the ethanol-toluene mixture because of its pressure sensitivity. Vapor-liquid equilibria(VLE)data for the toluene-ethanol mixture were measured using a VLE recirculating still. The experimental data verified that NRTL model can be successfully applied to VLE prediction of this system. The optimum simulation was performed using the RadFrac pattern of Aspen Plus and NRTL equation,aiming at minimizing the energy consumption at fixed purities of ethanol and toluene. Due to relatively low boiling point of ethanol-toluene mixture,high-low pressure columns were selected. The optimal process parameters such as the total number of theoretical plate,reflux ratio,feeding position,operating pressure and circulating ratio were specified by using optimizing analysis. The obtained purities and the yields of the products were more than 99.9%. The results showed that pressure swing distillation process with heat integration can save 49% of energy compared with traditional pressure swing distillation.

    Based on Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model,the gas-liquid co-current flow of the sieve tray type packing was simulated by CFX. The simulation results showed that the pressure loss through single sieve tray agreed well with the manufacturer,s performance data under smaller kinetic energy factor. The characteristics of velocity and pressure distribution in the flow field were analyzed and the results showed that the mixing of gas and liquid attributed to entrainment by jets;the pressure at the bottom of packing decreased due to vortex and the pressure on the top increased because of jet impinging. The study of pressure drop of sieve tray type packing with various structures indicated that the sieve tray hole diameters and the liquid flow rates were important factors of pressure drop. With smaller hole diameters the influence of liquid flow rate on pressure drop was stronger. When projection of upper floor sieve holes intersected with lower floor sieve holes reduced the pressure drop of single sieve tray effectively. When the liquid flow rate increased,two packing pressure drop curves of various distances between sieve trays intersected at one point. When the gas flow rate was lower than the intersection point,the distance between trays became narrower and the pressure drop on the tray increased. The results showed the opposite while the gas flow was higher than the intersection point.

    This research focused on the investigation of comprehensive heat transfer enhancement performances of the tube inserted with helical blade rotors with grooves. A 60% Glycerin solution was used as tube-side working fluid in transition region. In order to ensure the reliability of the experimental results,plain tube validation experiments were carried out with the Reynolds numbers ranging from 2800 to 6200. Meanwhile,the effects of rotor diameters on heat transfer enhancement performance of the rotors were investigated. The results showed that the Nusselt number of the rotors inserted tube was about 60%—200% higher than that of the plain tube under the same Reynolds numbers condition;the friction factor of the rotors inserted tube was about 16%—32% higher than that of the plain tube;the PEC values were obtained between 1.56 and 2.79. In addition,the Nusselt number,friction factor and PEC values of the rotors inserted tube increased with the increasing rotor diameter. This was because larger diameters of the rotors contribute to a stronger effect of swirling and thinning the boundary layer.

    Experiments of nucleate pool boiling heat transfer and physical properties of aqueous solutions were conducted with different surfactant additives,which included two ionic surfactants,sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB),and two nonionic surfactants,Triton X-114 and Triton X-100. The influences of molecular structures and physical properties of surfactant additives on boiling heat transfer were investigated. The results showed that the boiling heat transfer enhancements were related to the molecular weight and ionic natures of surfactants. The boiling heat transfer coefficients of ionic surfactant SDS and CTAB solutions showed an inverse molecular weight dependence presented as h~M ?0.22,but no such relationships for the nonionic surfactants. Under the same dynamic surface tensions and heat flux,the differences of boiling heat transfer characteristics of SDS and CTAB solutions were mainly affected by molecular weight and contact angle,and Triton X-114 and Triton X-100 solutions were affected by concentrations,EO group numbers,and cloud point and dynamic viscosity.

    Azeotropic distillation technology was used to treat industrial mixed-alcohol wastewater coming from ammonia synthesis. Using this technology and taking a feasible azeotropic agent,the distillation experiment of 1-propanol-water azeotrope system was conducted in batch distillation column. The operating condition of treating industrial mixed alcohol waste water was optimized. The results indicated that using this technology and taking cyclohexane as azeotropic agent,1-propanol in raw material could be purified from 20%~40% to ≥95%,and cycloihexane entrainer at the tower top could be purified to ≥97%. This technology greatly reduced equipment investment and energy consumption. The experimental results showed that using azeotropic distillation for separation of 1-propanol - water azeotrope system could be reliable and practicable.

    Shale oil condensation and recovery by oil washing in China has not been developed and applied successfully,so an oil washing technology for condensation and recovery of oil-gas from oil shale retorting was proposed and process simulation was conducted by using software PRO/II. Simulation results showed that the proposed oil washing process was effective for shale oil condensation and recovery,and oil-gas was separated into gas,gasoline,diesel,and heavy oil. However bottom temperature of oil washing tower was low and heat recovery was limited. For improving energy matching and enhancing heat recovery,system optimization was conducted in this study. Heat recovery rate was improved by 14.63% and high grade heat energy was obtained after process optimization. Energy matching was also more reasonable. The optimal value of gasoline reflux flow rate of 3100 kg/h in oil washing tower was recommended by analyzing simulation results.

    Hydrogen production coupled with the electrochemical treatment of organic wastewater at the anode was investigated. Phenol,glucose,starch were used to investigate the degradation of organic matter,hydrogen production,and their relationship. The results indicated that degradation of organic matter was different due to the structure and properties of organic matter and hydrogen production changed as well. Meanwhile,degradation of phenol was effective,and hydrogen production volume and rate were higher than glucose and starch. Kinetic study of phenol showed a first order model,and the reaction constants at 5 V and 10 V were 0.01498 h?1and 0.1202 h?1 respectively,which increased with the increase of voltage. These results could provide theoretical foundations for rational treatments of different organic wastewaters.

    Protein-based bioplastics (PBBs),as a novel family of biodegradable plastics,have attracted increasing attentions thanks to their noticeable advantages in that they could be biodegraded completely and used by consumers in an environmentally friendly manner. However,PBBs are prone to be brittle under stress and their mechanical properties are inferior to their synthetic counterparts,which severely limits the commercialization of PBBs. Fortunately,numerous methods have been applied to overcoming these obstacles and have been found to be,in most cases,effective and successful. This paper summarizes four methodologies for improvement of mechanical properties of PBBs,namely protein denaturation,biofiber reinforcement,blends with synthetic/natural degradable polymers,and nanocomposites. Firstly,different factors influencing protein denaturation are analyzed,including pH value,addition of urea,inorganic salt,and cross-linking agents. Then,both the efficiency of mechanical properties improvement by incorporating natural plant fiber into protein matrix and the related fiber dispersion and compatibility between them are introduced. Next,the reinforcement efficiency of nano-sized fillers (nano whiskers/crystals,layered silicates,carbon nanotubes or grapheme) for mechanical enhancement is introduced. Finally,the future research trends are presented:① Controllable design of PBBs with combined and balanced properties such as biodegradable and mechanical properties,and the extension of service life;② Value-added applications with desired functions,and ③ Exploring new protein resources.

    The dispersion mechanism of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) modified zero-valent iron (ZVI) particles in quartz sand was studied. Influences of porous medium,flow rate on transport were also investigated. The results showed that dispersion mechanism of CMC modified ZVI particles followed the DLVO model. Potential barrier increment brought by electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance had positive correlation with CMC concentration,promoting the dispersion of ZVI. Zero valent iron particles modified with 500% CMC (mass ratio of CMC to ZVI) were fully dispersed as observed from SEM and light absorbance decreased by 31% in 90 minutes. Influenced by interaction energy between ZVI and quartz sand,filling medium adsorption sites and shear force,transport ability had positive correlation with CMC dosage,and increased with bigger medium size and higher fluid velocity.

    By one-pot technique,the copolymerization of styrene with ethylene promoted by CpTiCl3/I4/Zn catalytic system to produce the star-like hydroxyl functionalized S-E block copolymers was investigated via sequential monomer addition strategy in the present of methylaluminoxane(MAO) as cocatalyst for the coordination polymerization stage. The effect of temperature,time,ethylene pressure and the ratio of Al/Ti in mol on the polymerization performance was discussed. Independently from the feed composition,basic S-E block copolymer was obtained,together with aPS,from which the former was separated by solvent extraction. The CHCl3-soluble product was determined by GPC,DSC,and 13C NMR. The DSC result showed that the copolymer featured a glass transition temperature (Tg= 84 ℃) which attributed to the Tg of aPS domain and melting temperature (Tm=112 ℃) which attributed to the Tm of PE domain. The block structure of the aPS-b-PE copolymer was further confirmed by 13C NMR,these results indicated that the PS segment was amorphous and the PE one was crystalline.

    Synthetization of nicotine imprinted polymer (MIP)-derivatized silica monolithic column was carried out based on in situ polymerization on the surface of macroporous silica gel-chemically modified as the matrix. Structural characterization was performed by FTIR,SEM,and the total pores and microspores volume were measured though size exclusion chromatography. In HPLC system,chromatographic condition was tested. Frontal analysis was utilized for producing absorption isotherm for the MIP monolithic column. Additionally,adsorption thermodynamic behavior of the MIP was studied. The result showed that selectivity factors of nicotine were 4.31 and 2.95 relative to 8-hydroxyquinoline and pyridine respectively,and the optimized chromatographic conditions was pH=7.5. Freundlich model was shown better than Langmuir model to describe isotherm adsorption behavior of MIP monolith toward nicotine with a heterogeneity index of 0.841. Thermodynamic analysis indicated a spontaneous exothermic process for the adsorption of template on the MIP monolithic column.

    In this article,various synthesis routes and research results for glyphosate are introduced. The aminoacetic acid route and the iminodiethanoic acid route of glyphosate are reviewed in details. The IDA-air (oxygen) catalytic oxidation route using hydrocyanic acid as raw materials is the most advanced synthesis route for glyphosate and used widely abroad owe to the low price of hydrocyanic acid. In China,there is no appropriate source of hydrocyanic acid so far,the aminoacetic acid-dialkyl phosphite route still is the main synthesis routes and the IDA route for glyphosate is the second,but the IDA route will become the most primary route as soon as the production technology of hydrocyanic acid gets breakthrough in the future. At last,some new synthesis routes for glyphosate with atom economy are introduced briefly,such as biological catalysis method and photochemical method,which are expected to get breakthrough in the future.

    The treatment technologies of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash have mainly two categories:solidification/stabilization and extraction separation. The solidification/ stabilization technology mainly includes cement solidification,thermal treatment,chemical stabilization,and hydrothermal treatment. The characteristics of each technology was reviewed and compared in this paper. The extraction separation technology mainly includes biological/chemical extraction and supercritical fluid extraction. The cement solidification has the advantage of low cost,but the increase of solidification body volume can be a big concern. The thermal treatment technology does not increase the solidification body volume,but it has a high energy consumption and cost. The chemical stabilization technology is highly stable,synchronous solidification of several heavy metals is a challenge for this technology. The reaction conditions for biological/chemical extraction are relatively mild,but this technology is not cost effective either. The recycling of heavy metals can be achieved in the supercritical fluid extraction technology which requires high operational conditions and equipment maintenance. Considering the moderate requirements on operation and equipment maintenance and the high level of harmless and product recycling,the hydrothermal treatment technology could have a greater potential for future applications in the treatment of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash.

    The mesh size of 75 μm of micro-dispersion rotating disc column was used to purify wet-process phosphoric acid with the system of TBP+kerosene/phosphoric acid/water. The effects of rotate speed,volume flow,phase ratio on the extraction and re-extraction of phosphoric acid with the content of 55% were studied. Results showed that the extraction rate increased with the increase of rotate speed and phase ratio,and decreased with the increase of volume flow. Under the optimum conditions of rotate speed of 250 r/min,volume flow of 56.62 L/(m2?min),phase ratio of 4,and the extraction rate can be as high as 55%. The re-extraction rate was improved with the improvement of rotate speed,fell with the raise of phase ratio and volume flow. Under the best re-extraction conditions of rotate speed of 300r/min,volumetric flow of 56.62 L/(m2?min) phase ratio of 6,the re-extraction rate could be up to 85%. Non-dimensional expression for the volumetric mass transfer coefficient can be expressed asKXa=1.53×10?3p?0.28135Fr0.344493W/D,and the simulation matched the experimental results. The application of this model could provide a good experimental basis for industrial scale-up design and optimization.

    Polypropylene matrix composites (PPMC) filled with recycled fiberglass powder (RFGP) from waste printed circuit boards (WPCB) were prepared by melt blending method in this research. The effects of surface modification,size fraction and content of the RFGP on the mechanical properties of the PPMC were investigated based on the results of mechanical properties and impact fracture surface morphologies of the PPMC. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of the PPMC can be significantly improved by adding the RFGP pretreated with KH-550 silane as a coupling reagent into polypropylene. And the PPMC with coarse fraction of the RFGP showed better mechanical properties than PPMC with fine fraction. Moreover,the increment of mechanical properties of the PPMC increased with the increase of RFGP content in the beginning and then decreased. When the modified RFGP content was 30% and the size fraction was 180—450 μm,the maximum increment of flexural modulus,flexural strength,tensile strength and impact strength of the PPMC was 68.4%,31.2%,25.9% and 41.4%,respectively.
