    To replace petrochemical products,coal is processed into a clean,efficient energy. The conversion is an important strategy for solving the gap between petroleum supply and demand,realizing coal cleaning utilization and guaranteeing energy security. In this paper,the heating mechanism,typical features and advantages of microwave are described. Research progress of microwave pyrolysis technology for coal is reviewed. A new possible route for processing coal by grade and clean utilization is proposed. Compared to other pyrolysis technologies,microwave pyrolysis technology could produce better coal tar,which is more suitable for producing chemical products as well as gasoline and diesel fuel. Coal gas produced by microwave has higher purity and is rich in hydrogen and methane. Microwave pyrolysis technology could be integrated with electric power plant or steel works,which is favorable to high-efficiency utilization of resources. Combining microwave pyrolysis with existing petroleum refineries,could optimize processing and utilization of products.

    The research progress of liquid-liquid two-phase flow in microchannels in recent years was reviewed from flow patterns,mass transfer and application. The observation and design of flow regimes and the examination of the effects of various factors on the flow patterns are two major parts in the study of liquid-liquid two-phase flow pattern. However,the universal flow regime and flow pattern transition lines have not been proposed. The methods of the liquid-liquid two-phase mass transfer research consist of experimental study and numerical simulation. Both methods mainly focus on the research of droplet flow,slug flow and parallel flow. And compared with the qualitative research, the quantitative research of mass transfer is relatively scarce. The application of liquid-liquid two-phase flow is mainly used in the extraction,material synthesis,biological crystallization,etc. Furthermore,the further research of liquid-liquid two-phase ?ow patterns,mass transfer and application were prospected. And in order to promote the industrialization process of liquid-liquid two phase flow, we need undertake in-depth research into two aspects. One is the combination of experimental study and numerical simulation, the other is the extension of its application research.

    Aiming at the drawbacks with algae solution stratify and low density algae cells in the traditional raceway pond,this research designed a V-shape transparent flow guide groove to increase the surface-to-volume ratio and guide the flow,and simulated the influence on the velocity field distribution by the surface gradient of groove,solution depths and air inlet velocity using CFD method. The results showed that in the presence of airlift with the flow guided groove,the mixing area was expanded to the areas near lateral zones on both sides of the raceway pond,and formed a vertical flow cycle between the adjacent layers. The mixing and lighting conditions of the microalgae solution were improved,and the residence time of the carbon dioxide in the solution was also increased. The optimal design parameters were tan?=0.1,d=0.3 m,vair?in=0.1 m/s. Under the optimal conditions,the velocity field distributed evenly,and the mean velocity was suitable for preventing the wall attachment effects and sediment of the algae. In addition,the equipment energy consumption was relatively low.

    Microscopic force between hydrate particles and agglomeration of particles are critical for steady flow of hydrate slurry. This paper investigates common equipments used in researching microscopic force and agglomeration of particles,including focused beam reflectance measurement probe,particle video microscope probe,high pressure differential scanning calorimetry and micromechanical force apparatus. Measurement with micromechanical force apparatus and theoretical study have proved that the dominant adhesion force between hydrate particles is capillary bridge force,which is the main factor causing agglomeration of particles. Force balance model is used to study agglomeration of hydrate particles and calculate critical agglomeration size. This paper also summarizes agglomeration mechanisms of hydrate particles proposed by prior researchers with emphasis on physical model of contact induced-shear limited mechanism which is based on population balance model. This mechanism can well describe dynamics process of hydrate particles agglomeration. Further research and definition of microscopic forces between hydrate particles and agglomeration will have great significance for oil and natural gas transportation,and confirming influence of anti-agglomerant on natural gas hydrate particles agglomeration will be a focus of future research.

    The effect of different types of acidic dopant namely,sulfuric acid (H2SO4),dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) and compounded acids (H2SO4+DBSA) on the morphology and properties of polyaniline (PANI) films polymerized on gold-plated PET substrates by cyclic voltammetry was investigated. SO42? and DBSA? could incorporate into PANI molecular chains in the polymerization progress. PANI doped with H2SO4 had high conductivity but poor stability in air,while PANI doped with macromolecules DBSA had high stability in air but poor conductivity. Compared with single acid,compounded acids doping could improve not only the characteristics of cyclic voltammogram of PANI in acid solution,but also its stability in air while maintaining high electrical conductivity of PANI.

    The copper chromite black pigment (CuCr2O4) with spinel structure was successfully prepared by solid phase calcinations method at high temperature using copper oxide and chromium oxide as raw materials. The crystal structure,morphology and grain size of the CuCr2O4 were determined by XRD,SEM and the particle size analyzer respectively. The influence of processing parameters,such as the mixing process,the time of ball milling,calcination temperature and time of the precursor,on the crystal structure and grain size of the CuCr2O4 were studied in detail,and the effect of its tinting strength was systematically discussed by adding modifiers. The results show that high energy ball milling can effectively control the grain size and homogenization of particles in the pigment,and the tinting strength of pigment was greatly improved with the presence of NiO and CoO modifiers. The CuCr2O4 with strong tinting strength and particle size distribution uniformity was synthesized under the condition of ball milling for 10 minutes and calcination at 900 ℃ for 3 hours.

    In this paper,hemicelluloses/carbon nanotube composite hydrogels was designed and successfully prepared via free-radical polymerization route initiated by (NH4)2S2O8-Na2SO3 redox systems. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of the MAA/HC ratio,the amount of carbon nanotubes and pH on the swelling ratio of prepared hydrogels were investigated,and the experimental data were fitted using the swelling kinetic equations. The results showed that the swelling ratio decreased with the increase of MAA/HC ratio and the amount of carbon nanotube. The swelling ratio increased as the pH value of the solutions increased (pH≤11),and decreased when the pH was beyond 11. The entire swelling process could be described by the Schott second-order kinetics model.

    N,N-didodecylethylenediamine was prepared via nucleophilic substitution by using ethylenediamine and 1-bromododecane. The effect of reaction conditions on the synthesis of N,N-didodecylethylenediamine was investigated experimentally. The results show that the yield of N,N-didodecylethylenediamine is 45.5% under the following reaction conditions:the molar ratio of 1-bromododecane to ethylenediamine was 2.4∶1,and the reaction was effected for 8 h at reflux temperature. The chemical structures of the prepared compounds were characterized by FTIR,1H-NMR spectra and elemental anal. New application of N,N-didodecylethylenediamine as additives in lubricants was explored. The tribological properties of the N,N-didodecylethylenediamine as additives in PEG 400 were evaluated using a four-ball tester. The results show that the PB value of PEG 400 could be increased from 696 N to 862 N when the adding weight percent of N,N-didodecylethylenediamine is 2%.

    An efficient,environmentally safe and low-cost novel water-based cleaning agent was successfully developed for the heavy oil foulant in kitchen ventilator. Based on the orthogonal experiment with 7 factors and 3 levels of L18 (37),the optimal ingredients and their mass percentage of the cleaning agent are as follows:a certain anionic surfactant F 4%,APG 3.5%,AEO-91%,LAS 0.5%,sodium citrate 1%,triethanolamine 3%. Detergency of the cleaning agent and the commercial multi-purpose cleaning agent for kitchen were comparatively studied with dilution ratio of (0-10)∶1 at the temperatures of 10℃ and 30℃,respectively. It was found that the former has much higher decontamination rate than that of the latter,and its decontamination rate is still more than 90% with dilution ratio of 10∶1. The as-prepared cleaning agent from cheap industrial raw materials is applicable in a wide temperature range,with excellent comprehensive cleaning performance and simple preparation process,and shows a good application prospect.

    The potassium ferrate is a new high efficient-green water treatment agent. In order to explore the economic and efficient preparation technique,the potassium ferrate was preparated by the oxidation reaction with calcium hypochlorite as the raw material. The influence of reaction time and temperature,the amount of calcium hypochlorite,recrystallization temperature and alkalinity on yield was investigated. The structure of potassium ferrate was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results show that the yield of potassium ferrate is more than 75% when reaction temperature is 25℃,reaction time is 40 min,ecrystallization temperature is 0℃ and the calcium hypochlorite dosage is 1.2 times to the theoretical value. Infrared spectroscopy structure characterization of the product indicated that the synthesized product is potassium ferrate,and it’s feasible that used calcium hypochlorite instead of sodium hypochlorite to preparate the potassium ferrate.

    Fly ash is a solid pollutant generated during coal combustion. Utilization of fly ash would help reduce the environmental burden and enhance economic benefit. This paper reviewed the mechanism of fly ash formation in coal combustion,physical and chemical changes at high temperature. The composition,structure and morphology of fly ash were analyzed and the applications of fly ash were also discussed. Fly ash has been used as a low-cost adsorbent for adsorption of NOx,SOx,Hg,gaseous organic compounds and CO2 in flue gas,and heavy metals,P,F,organic compounds in waste water. The unburned carbon played an important role in the adsorption process and the adsorption capacity of fly ash can be remarkably increased with physical and chemical modifications. Fly ash has been proven to be a promising and high efficient adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants. Future research on fly ash for preparing molecular sieve applications in pollution control was proposed.

    In this work,the research progress in HCl removal technology using Ca-based sorbents was summarized. The dechlorination characteristics of various Ca-based sorbents and different methods to improve sorbent performance were introduced. The influence of Ca/Cl molar ratio,reaction temperature,particle size,reaction atmosphere on the dechlorination of Ca-based sorbents was also discussed. The research emphases should be focused on the mechanism of dechlorination reactions and the solutions to key problems,such as low dechlorination efficiency. In addition,the necessity of HCl removal was discussed in the process of biomass gasification reforming for the hydrogen production coupling with CO2 capture using Ca-based sorbents. The possible effect of HCl on cyclic CO2 capture by Ca-based sorbents was proposed. Furthermore,the competitive reaction rules and interaction mechanisms between HCl and CO2 with Ca-based sorbents and their cooperative control method should be investigated. It is significantly important to simultaneously capture CO2 and HCl in the biomass gasification reforming for hydrogen production.

    Based on the fouling prevention and anti-corrosion effect of online evaluation experiment in water treatment,the influence of the electromagnetic field on fouling resistance and typical water quality parameters was investigated. The relationship between typical water quality parameters and fouling resistance was quantitatively expressed using the correlative degree analysis and balanced adjacent degree. The results showed that in the forming process of fouling on the surface of heat exchangers in electromagnetic field,conductivity,dissolved oxygen,and turbidity were higher than contrast experiments and the pH value was lower. The analysis of the variation of water quality parameters showed that the water quality parameters correlated to the fouling in electromagnetic field. Conductivity had greatest impact on the fouling resistance of the heat exchangers,and pH had the least influence. Conductivity,turbidity,dissolved oxygen were more suitable for constructing the mathematical model of water quality parameters and fouling resistance. This method provided the experimental and theoretical basis for the suitable selection of mathematical model of water quality parameters and fouling resistance,mechanism of electromagnetic anti-fouling technology and effective measures for fouling prevention.

    This paper presented the dynamic simulation of an experimental facility of shell-and-tube recirculating cooling water. Under the experimental conditions of the constant water temperature and velocity,simulate the fouling situation in the stainless steel tube was simulated at the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron bacteria in recirculating cooling water system. The relevance between water quality parameters and fouling formation,such as Fe2+ concentration,COD and the total number of bacteria was obtained. The results showed that sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron bacteria were the main reasons of the fouling resistance increase. Iron bacteria provided anaerobic conditions for the breeding of sulfate-reducing bacteria,accelerating the formation of bio-fouling,and the interaction among various parameters codetermined the feature of bio-fouling. Analysis of water quality parameters showed that the concentrations of Fe2+ and sulfate directly affected the number of iron bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria,thereby affecting the amount of wall slime. In addition,pH,COD and ammonia were also closely related to other bio-fouling formation factors,such as SRB and IB breeding metabolism.

    Preconditioning is an important process in the seawater desalination. Traditional seawater desalinization uses quartz sand as the filter material,which has disadvantages of low velocity jamming,and short filtration period. This paper investigated seawater filtration process using fiber ball and comet fiber filter. The results showed that turbidity of effluent was below 5.0 NTU with quartz sand particle size 0.45—0.6 mm at seawater velocity of 15 m/h. When the velocity of seawater was increased to 20 m/h,filtration period was shorted to 2 hours because of the rapid increase of head loss. At velocity of 20 m/h,stable effluent quality and the filtration cycle was as high as 50 h. With the large surface area,low resistance and large pollution-carrying capacity,fiber filter material performed more effectively in seawater purification.

    In order to improve the treatment efficiency of wastewater,the functional strains were isolated and strained when glucose,soluble starch,sodium acetate,edible oil,glycine and bovine serum albumin were applied as the sole carbon and energy source,respectively. The microbial agent was constructed based on the further combination and the bioaugmentation performance of the microbial agent was investigated in the lab-scale SBRs. The dominant function strains obtained were the glucose metabolism bacteria P1 and P3,the soluble starch metabolism bacteria K2 and K4,the sodium acetate metabolism bacteria C2 and C3,the edible oil metabolism bacteria Z1 and Z2,the bovine serum albumin metabolism bacteria N1 and N3 and the glycine metabolism bacteria G1 and G4,respectively. The optimal mixing ratio of the functional flora was Z∶P∶G∶K∶N∶C=2∶3∶5∶1∶4∶2. Compared with the system without bioaugmentation SBR,removal efficiencies of COD,TOC,NH4+-N and TN in the sewage of bioaugmented system with the microbial agent and activated sludge were improved by 31.82%,16.71%,56.06% and 70.56%,respectively. The bioaugmentation technology improved significantly the performance and stability of the biochemical processing system as well as the biodiversity and the resistance to shock loadings by dosing the microbial agent.

    Chromium(Ⅵ) is one of the important pollutants in water resources with strong oxidation and migration abilitys. In this paper,the performance of removing chromium(Ⅵ) and its fixation by hematite (α-Fe2O3) was studied. Addition of hematite,adsorption time,chromium(Ⅵ) solution concentration and pH value of the solution would affect the removal of Cr(Ⅵ). Adsorption thermodynamic and kinetic calculations showed that removal of chromium(Ⅵ) mainly depended on adsorption,which was surface adsorption and particle diffusion. Cr(Ⅵ) could be fixed by roasting hematite after adsorption,thus reducing its migration. No desorption occurred with roasting above 800 ℃. XRD,SEM characterization indicated?that no new phase appeared after hematite absorbed Cr(Ⅵ),instead Cr(Ⅵ) was enclosed in hematite through surface shrinkage and densification. With maximum adsorption capacity of 4.80 mg/g and producing no secondary pollution,hematite is a kind of good environmental friendly mineral materials for fixing pollutants.

    Supercritical water gasification of lignite and sediment (independent and co-gasification) for hydrogen production were investigated in a batch autoclave under different conditions,including different feedstocks. The effect of different mixed ratio,i.e. 1∶9,2∶8,3∶7,4∶6,5∶5,on hydrogen production were also investigated. The results indicated that the gasification of sediment is a process with a rich composition of hydrogen,high recovery of gaseous products but low gasification yields;meanwhile,the gasification of lignite is one with high carbon gasification efficiency and high gasification yields. Although the gaseous yields of lignite gasification were lower than that of sediment,it was increased to 834 mL/g under co-gasification. The obvious synergistic effect on carbon gasification efficiency and hydrogen production were observed in co-gasification process. Carbon gasification efficiency and hydrogen yield were 3.12% and 55 mL/g respectively,higher than that in terms of average value. The optimal ratio existed in co-gasification;when it is beyond 3∶7,carbon gasification efficiency declined. Therefore,co-gasification under optimal ratio not only could achieve effective sediment disposal,but also obtain high gaseous yields about 350 mL/g H2 and 113 mL/g CH4.

    The utilization efficiency of phosphate fertilizer in the whole life of plant is only 10%—25%. By analyzing the research progress in the literatures,it indicates that the phosphorus is easily fixed in soils,including adsorption fixation and chemical reaction fixation. The amount of phosphorus fixed is determined by the content of calcium carbonate,iron oxide,aluminum oxide,clay and the initial concentration of phosphorus in soils. Most of phosphorus is fixed in adsorption fixation in early period,which lasts several hours to tens of hours. In later period,chemical reaction fixation occurs mainly and lasts a few months to a few years,which results in phosphorus unavailable to plants. The dynamics of the entire fixation period can be described by Elovich equation. For reducing the amount of phosphorus fixed,an efficient way is to reduce the concentration of phosphorus in soils. By using the fixation data from the red soil in Shenxian (in Zhejiang province,China),together with the research data on the phosphorus uptake of cole,the release,the fixation and the plants uptake of phosphorus are quantitatively analyzed. The calculation result based on the established mathematical model indicates that the consumption amount of fertilizer can be greatly reduced and utilization efficiency can be increased by fertilizing the mixed DAP and controlled released DAP,compared with that by fertilizing DAP only.

    Lead paste from spent lead-acid battery was produced by hydrometallurgy process in citric acid solution. The small size of lead citrate,the precursor of the process made it difficult to be filtered from the liquid mixture. The crystallization process of lead citrate was controlled by ultrasound. The products were characterized by means of XRD,TG-DTA and SEM before and after the treatment of ultrasound. The results indicated that morphology of lead citrate changed from crystal flakes to columnar with draw ratio about 8∶1,and the length of crystal ranged from 20 μm to 50 μm. The crystal size of lead citrate before ultrasound treatment is less than 5 μm. Therefore,ultrasound treatment can efficiently control the crystal morphology of lead citrate resulting in improvement of the filter performance of lead citrate precursor and the conversion ratio of lead paste in hydrometallurgical processes.
