    Lithium isotopes(lithium-6 and lithium-7),as important raw materials required in the development of nuclear energy,play a great role in energy,environment,defense-national security,and other fields. The chemical exchange methods for lithium isotopes separation include amalgam exchange process,solvent extraction,chromatography and membrane method. The separation mechanisms,advantage and disadvantage of various lithium isotopes separation methods,have been systematically analyzed,classified and summarized in this paper. The results indicated that lithium isotope separation is related to the bond effect of complexing agent and lithium ionic in the chemical exchange separation system;and lithium amalgam exchange process will be replaced by other non-mercury separation systems due to environmental concerns. In addition,the lithium isotopes separation methods of using solvent extraction,ion exchange chromatographic and membrane are very promising,which all are relatively effective separation. Based on the summarization of the current research progresses,the future researches on the separation of lithium isotopes are highlighted,such as the design and synthetics of new chelating agent,the combination of different separation process and the separation mechanism in different experiment condition.

    Tung oil with conjugated fatty acids and diisooctyl maleate were employed as raw materials to study the synthetic process of C22-tricarboxylic diisooctyl-monomethyl ester and conversion rate calculation of D-A reaction of methyl eleostearate and diisooctyl maleate. Three test methods were used including analysis of yield,gel chromatography,and ultraviolet. The test results showed that all three methods can be used to evaluate the progress of D-A reaction. However,the yield measurement was least accurate. The gel chromatography was the most precise to calculate conversion rate. The UV method could calculate the 270nm absorption reaction progress but the calculation results was too high. The UV method was able to use the band absorption characteristics to judge the reaction type effectively. Combining the analytical results from the gel chromatography and UV concluded that the optimum technological conditions were:the molar ratio of tung oil methyl ester to diisooctyl maleate is 1:1,the reaction temperature is 220℃,reaction time is 5h,and the conversion of tung oil methyl ester can be up to 97.4%.

    Air storage chamber is the main gas storage device in the AA-CAES,and its properties have important impact on the variation of the air temperature and pressure. To describe the thermal variation of air during the operation process and accurately explore the influence of the thermodynamic properties on the system performance,a model of diabatic storage chamber with constant wall temperature was established in this paper. The results show that the designed chamber had the energy storage efficiency of 0.58 and has the energy storage density of 1.59kW·h/m3. The overall performance of the air storage chamber in the operation process is exothermic. Highest energy storage efficiency was obtained with the adiabatic model,and the energy storage density reached maximal under the constant temperature model. However the system performance parameters were lower in the actual operation,so the thermal properties of the air storage chamber need to be optimized. The energy storage efficiency can be improved by increasing the amount of energy storage and power released. It was found that the change of storage power had greater effect on storage efficiency.

    After the components of high-temperature Fisher-Tropsch C8-cut was determined by chromatography-mass spectrum,the azeotropic distillation was carried out to remove the oxygenates from high-temperature Fisher-Tropsch C8-cut. PRO-Ⅱ was applied to simulate the distillation process by NRTL thermodynamic method. The separation process of the azeotropic distillation with ethanol/water solution as solvent was established. The effect of water content, theoretical stage number and feed stage number on the separation effect was investigated so as to get the best operational parameter for azeotropic distillation tower. Then,a bench-scale distillation column was used to verify the simulation for value by high-temperature Fisher-Tropsch C8-cut. The result showed that the oxygenates at the top was not detected and the mass fraction of the 1-octene at the bottom is less than 0.1%. The best operational parameters were as follows:water content in solvent was about 14% with the theoretical stage number of 30,the feed stage number of 17 and the solvent ratio of 1.2:1. The experimental data matched well with those of the simulation.

    Constrained by technical problems such as ice barrier,the production method of ice slurry is currently difficult to guarantee the large scale steady production. In order to improve the current method and apparatus,a new dynamic ice slurry making apparatus named spiral scraping ice slurry generation was developed. It combines the supercooled ice-making method and scraping ice-making method. Taking glycol solution as the ice-making solution,the performance of the new apparatus was analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. The results showed that the new apparatus runs steadily and can be easily operated. The ice slurry as product has good flowability,with the maximum ice packing factor of 13.684%. The ice crystal particles in ice slurry distributes uniformly,and generally present as strip or oblate,with an average area of between 10-9m2 and 10-8m2. The IPF of the ice slurry would increase over time firstly and then decrease,and finally it would keep stable at a constant value. Decreasing the flow of ice-making solution or reducing the initial inlet temperature of the coolant would shorten the initiation time of apparatus producing ice slurry and increase the IPF of ice slurry. While increasing the flow of ice-making solution or accelerating the rotary speed of spiral slicker would make the ice crystal particles in ice slurry smaller.

    Gas-liquid flow technology was applied to enhance air-gap membrane distillation in seawater desalination. Modified hydrophobic tubular ceramic membrane was adopted in the process and sodium chloride aqueous solution was used as the model seawater in the present experimental study. Effects of solution temperature,solution concentration and gas flow rate on permeate fluxes were examined. Results showed that flux improvement efficiencies for deionized water and sodium chloride solution are 30.36% and 28.57%,respectively,after the formation of two-phase flow by gas piping in the membrane pipe. As the solution temperature is raised,the flux increases significantly and is 12%-44% higher than that without gas piping. As the solution concentration is increased,the flux decreases gradually. With the increase in the gas flow rate,the flux increases before 40 L/h,and then decreases slightly. When volume gas holdup is 0.5,the enhanced effect of two-phase flow is the best under the experimental conditions. Two-phase flow patterns were observed with a high-speed camera,which explained the experimental results well. This fundamental research would establish the foundation for further exploring enhancing methods of membrane distillation in seawater desalination.

    Currently,the ways to handle industrial waste salt is single. The treatment has not achieved good results. To solve these problems,a fluidized-bed was used to treat industrial waste salt. A self-made fluidized-bed was used to fluidize industrial waste salt. Gas-solid fluidized bed pressure fluctuation signal was detected. The relations between fluidization number and fluidized bed pressure fluctuations were studied. The effects of temperature on the critical fluidized velocity were described and correlations of critical fluidized velocity and temperature were proposed. Bubbles generated in the process of fluidization were studied,and morphology and size were discussed. A method to study material fluidization effect was introduced. Using improfile function,particles mixing from three-dimensional space was transformed into a function. The degree of back-mixing was described by strength and time. The industrial waste salt bed collapsing process was also described. In conclusion,fluidized-bed can handle industrial waste salt by comparing organics on the surface of waste salt via SEM.

    Wet compression used in R32 refrigeration system can reduce compressor discharge temperature effectively,but its impacts on system performance need more studies. Based on the theoretical analysis of cycle thermodynamic calculation,this paper studies the variation trends of R32 refrigeration system parameters under different operating conditions for seeking the optimal of suction refrigerant. Utilizing the frequency conversion rolling rotor compression refrigeration cycle test bench,a series of experiments were done by changing the electronic expansion valve and compressor's frequency. Theoretical analysis shows that,when compressor sucks vapor-liquid mixed refrigerant,the system shows better performance than that with superheat suction refrigerant;when the suction refrigerant transforms from superheating vapor to two-phase flow with little liquid,the discharge temperature rapidly reduces,cooling capacity and COP increase firstly and then decrease. When compressor suction refrigerant quality ranges from 0.90 to 0.93,the theoretical maximum COP exists. Experimental results showed that,when the suction refrigerant quality ranged from 0.96 to 1.0,cooling capacity was improved by 5%-10% over conventional refrigeration applications that the control superheat degree was at 5℃. Meanwhile,the discharge temperature decreased by 8%-16%,COP increased about 5%-8%,and system pressure ratio was decreased,and system performance reached the optimum state.

    Mixing flammable and explosive powder at a low packing ratio has great significance for safety mixing. Research on mixing characteristics of rotary drum at a low packing ratio has not been reported yet. A gas-solid three-phase flow model was built to simulate the mixing progress of two kinds of powder in rotary drum at low packing ratio. Syamlal-O'Brien formula was used to compute the force between the particle and the air and Syamlal-O'Brien-Symmetric formula for the force between particles. The weighted components proportion variance was used to evaluate the uniformity of the mixture. Calculation results showed that the rotary drum at a low packing ratio exhibits high efficiency mixing characteristics and excellent mixing uniformity. Changing powder packing ratio,rotating speeds,numbers and length of the fins,several preliminary simulation were investigated and calculation results was analyzed. Finally,experiment of a 1000mm-diameter rotary drum at a low packing ratio was carried out. The distributions of the particle when they flowed past the fins were recorded and the samples were analyzed by chemical. The accuracy of the calculation results was verified by the experiment data,proving the accuracy of the gas-solid three-phase flow model. Rotary drum at a low packing ratio is safe for flammable and explosive powder and has a good prospect in industrial production.

    Recent years,with the continuous decline of consumption diesel to gasoline ratio and increasingly stringent of environmental regulations,it is a great challenge to the refineries how to produce high-value products from low-value light cycle oil(LCO). LCO has the characteristics of high density,high content of aromatic hydrocarbon and low content of hexadecane. It's difficult to produce clean diesel through conventional hydrogenation technology from LCO. This paper described the mechanism and technical characteristics of producing more gasoline of high octane content through hydrogenation from LCO,systematically discussed the research progress of relevant technologies employed by well-known petroleum companies worldwide,such as LCO unicracking technology developed by UOP,MAK-LCO technology jointly developed by Mobil-Akzo-Kellogg,FD2G technology developed by FRIPP,RLG,and LTAG technology developed by RIPP. Using optimal combination of catalyst and novel process,heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be directly converted into high octane gasoline blending component of a single ring aromatic hydrocarbon. The results indicate that the technology of producing more gasoline of high octane content from LCO is flexible,and it can produce 35%-65% high octane content gasoline according to requirements of market,reduce the ratio of diesel to gasoline and increases additional value of LCO products. This technology has an extremely broad prospect of commercial applications.

    In this paper,Aspen Plus was used to simulate Fushun type retort for oil shale processing using a user-defined model with gasification kinetics of Fortran subroutines to replace Gibbs reactor.The accuracy of results was verified by comparing document of the experimental data and simulation of the data,which indicated that the results were in good agreement.Meanwhile,the effects of the air volume as well as saturation of feeding air on the gas component,the calorific value of the gas,the gasification efficiency and the thermal efficiency were systematically studied.The results showed that the increase of gasification temperature could decrease H2 and CH4 fractions and promote the generation of CO. Furthermore, the high temperature gasification would lead to a decrease of heating value. The increase of the air volume could raise the gasification efficiency and the thermal efficiency(ηw)as well as the thermal efficiency(ηd). Because the excess air may cause oil firing,it was suggested that the air volume was best in the range of 7.38×104-8.61×104m3/h. The gasification temperature declined linearly when the saturation of feeding air increased. When the saturation of feeding air maintained 90℃,the thermal efficiency(ηw)reached the maximum value of 37.08%.But considering the reasonable operation in the actual process,the saturation of air of 80℃ was recommended.

    The visualization experiments of natural gas hydrate formation on suspended gas bubble surfaces were carried out under the condition of initial temperature of 275.2K. The influence of impurities on the nucleation time,growth time and growth shape of natural gas hydrate were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that the distilled water and tap water had little effect on hydrate nucleation time and growth time,but the hydrate film formed on the surfaces of the gas bubble in the distilled water was relatively smooth,dense and tends to crack,but the crack would be quickly filled with new hydrate crystals. There were many holes cannot form hydrate on the hydrate film of gas bubbles because of the tap water contains many impurities. Aqueous solution with SDS significantly reduced the nucleation time and growth time of the hydrate formation on the suspended gas bubble surfaces,improved the rate of hydrate formation and had a great influence on the hydrate growth morphology. The natural gas hydrate crystals formed on the suspended gas bubble surfaces in the aqueous solution with SDS were darker and the texture was more smooth and dense under the same driving force conditions.

    Replacing the N2 in carrier gas with CO2 would lower N2 level in the product gas which is good for CO2 capture. However,the lower O2 diffusivity in CO2 would affect char reactivity,thus gasifier operation performance. To clarify the effect of carrier gas on gasification performance of a two-stage entrained-flow coal gasifier,a modified char reaction model is proposed by combining the shrinking core model with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic rate expression which considers the inhibitive effect of CO on char gasification reaction. The predictions of the flow,temperature,species distributions are provided and the results consiste with the operating data. In addition,at two coal feed rates of the 2nd stage(3817kg/h,11104kg/h),the effect of carrier gas(N2,CO2) on the gasifier operating performance is evaluated by comparing with the distributions of carbon conversion efficiency (CCE),gas temperature and species mole fractions in the gasifier. The results indicate that in the injection region of the 1st stage,the substitution of CO2 for N2 results in decreases in the gas temperature and CCE due to the lower O2 diffusivity in CO2. And the enhanced char-CO2 reaction caused by the increased CO2 has only a minor effect on CCE. Above the injection region of the 1st stage,the O2 diffusion effect is weaken due to lower O2 concentration,and the enhanced char-CO2 reaction increases CCE. Meanwhile,the results also confirmed that replacing the N2 in carrier gas with CO2 results in an increase in CO formation and a decrease in H2 formation.

    In order to study the effect of process conditions on the loop system of methanation equipment,the kinetics model of multi-stage adiabatic methanation reactor loop system was established using the Aspen Plus,in which the kinetics equations were embedded using Fortran. The simulation results had been verified with actual operating data. The results showed that the recycle ratio significantly affected the exit temperature,hotspot locations,and the exit CO2 and CH4 contents in all reactors,but it had little impact on CH4 purity in the final product gas. Hotspot location moved backward as feed flowrate increased,while exit temperature,exit gas components and CH4 purity were hardly affected by the feed flowrate. As feed temperature increased,both exit temperature and exit CO2 content increased,while exit CH4 content decreased and CH4 purity decreased slightly. The H/C ratio significantly influenced the exit gas composition and CH4 purity. It also affected the exit temperature of the 4th reactor,but not for 1st,2nd and 3rd reactors. The CH4 content in the final product gas increased first,then decreased as the H/C ratio increased from 2.8 to 3.2. The H/C ratio of 3 was concluded as the optimum value for methanation system.

    Furfural and its derivatives are widely used as raw materials in industries of resins,pharmaceuticals,pesticides,petrochemicals,and renewable energy. The development of furfural synthesis appears especially important currently as the utilization of renewable resources has attracted great attention worldwide. Acid catalysts play critical roles in improving the yield of furfural. In this review we summarized the advances in conversion of biomass to furfural by using different types of catalysts(mineral acids,organic acids,Lewis acids,solid acids),and discussed their problems as well. Then,we gave a prospective on potential approaches for the furfural production in efficient,economic and green ways. Integrating furfural production with biorefinery industries,integrating new manufacturing processes with new catalyst system and strengthening industry-study-research cooperation are suggested as the future development ways for furfural enterprises.

    SSZ-13 and SAPO-34 are excellent zeolites for the catalyzation of MTO(methanol to olefins,MTO). From the respects of acidity,coke deposition,hydrocarbon pool species and the MTO reaction pathway,the differences of acid strength and acid site density between SSZ-13 and SAPO-34 and their effects on catalytic performance in MTO process are discussed. The catalyzation mechanism and the deactivation mechanism of SSZ-13 and SAPO-34 are also reviewed. It is found that although SSZ-13 and SAPO-34 have the same CHA framework topology,the acidity of SSZ-13 is stronger than that of SAPO-34,which is more favorable to produce carbonium ions. Compared with the paring mechanism,the side-chain methylation mechanism is more predominant and the methylation rate for SSZ-13 is approximately 3 orders of magnitude higher than that for SAPO-34. There are also some differences in the rate and nature of coke formation,which are influenced greatly by temperature. Therefore,from the perspective of the catalysts,controlling the acid strength and acid site density reasonably,developing a new type of structure that can prevent catalyst deactivation and preparing a typical catalyst of high yield of ethylene or propylene will be the future trend of research. Regarding the reaction mechanism,for SSZ-13 and SAPO-34,the formation of active intermediate compounds, their further transformation and the evolution of active species to coke species should be further studied. In addition,direct observation of the carbonium ions of high reactivity during the reaction of MTO is a great challenge.

    A Kegin structure molybdovanadophosphoric heteropolyacids(PMoV-HPAs) was developed and used as the catalyst for one-pot synthesis of 2,5-diformyfuran(2,5-DFF) from fructose with oxygen as the oxidant under environmentally benign conditions. Mesoporous silica was prepared to be the carrier. The TEM mapping and other characterizations showed that the PMoV-HPAs was successfully supported on mesoporous silica. With DMSO as the solvent,the optimal reaction temperature was 120℃ and the best mass ratio of catalyst/fructose/DMSO was 1:10:100. In order to prevent the oxidation of fructose in the initial stage,the first one hour of the reaction was protected by nitrogen under atmospheric pressure,and the acidic site(H) offered by the PMoV-HPAs promoted the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF). During the next three hours,the metallic site(V) catalyzed the aerobic oxidation of 5-HMF to 2,5-DFF under atmospheric pressure of oxygen and finally a maximum yield of 48.4% for 2,5-DFF was achieved. In addition,H4PMo11VO/SiO2 could be reusable after 5 cycles without significant loss of activity,and it can achieve the best activity after impregnated again.

    NiMnO3 perovskite catalysts supported on cordierite honeycomb were synthesized by the citric acid method using Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and Mn(NO3)2. The effect of the coating on the catalytic performance of VOCs in catalytic combustion was investigated. These catalysts were characterized by XRD,SEM,BET,and H2-TPR. The results indicate that the different coating has different effects on the NiMnO3 perovskite catalysts. The Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 coating helps to improve carrier's specific surface area and the active ingredient's high temperature stability,and the load is more uniformly dispersed,while the grain size becomes smaller. At the same time,the synergistic effect between Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 coating and NiMnO3 perovskite catalysts can improve the Redox cycle rate of the reaction,and further improve the catalytic performance of the catalysts.

    The electrolyte for vanadium redox battery was prepared using chemical reduction method with vanadium pentoxide as raw materials. The conversion rate,reducing rate and electrochemical properties of electrolyte prepared by oxalic acid,ascorbic acid,tartaric acid,citric acid,hydrogen peroxide,formic acid,and acetic acid were compared. It was found that oxalic acid had higher conversion rate,higher reducing rate,and better electrochemical activity. The reaction kinetics analysis indicated that the reaction of oxalic acid reduction is exothermic reaction,and could proceed spontaneously at room temperature. The parameters of preparation process was optimized,under the conditions of n(H2C2O4):n(V2O5)=1:1,reaction temperature 90℃,reaction time 100min and n(H2SO4):n(V2O5)=5:1,the conversion rate and reducing rate reached 94.8% and 93.55%,respectively. The electrochemical analysis of electrolyte showed that the electrolyte prepared by oxalic acid could inhibit the oxygen evolution reaction. It also showed that the mass transfer and charge transfer process and reaction rate were improved. Using oxalic acid as reducing agent could prepare electrolyte efficiently in lower temperature,and the prepared electrolyte has good electrochemical properties and stability.

The powders are then pressed into tablets and calcined to prepare separators for conducting lithium ions. The effects of pressure, sintering temperature and the thickness on the ionic conductivities are studied. The phases and features of the membrane are investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The ionic conductivities are measured by AC impedance spectra. Optimal conditions referenced to fabricate the membrane are as follows:the pressure is 10.0MPa;the sintering temperature is 900℃ and the thickness is 0.500mm. The prepared membrane is employed to separate the cathode and the anode electrolytes apart,where lithium ions can freely pass through whereas other ions cannot. In this way we successfully assemble a rechargeable Cu-Zn battery. The working voltage of the resulting battery is 0.800-1.50V,and the charge capacity remains over 99% of its original capacity after 100 cycles,which shows a good cyclic stability.

    It is of extensive interest in developing a simple,selective,sensitive and rapid approach for anions sensing,as anions play a significant role in biological systems and environment. A simple and sensitive detection method based on the deoxycholic acid modified silver nanoparticles has been developed for the determination of H2PO4- in aqueous solution. The deoxycholic acid modified silver nanoparticles were synthesized by reduction method with sodium borohydride. The research indicates that those Ag NPs allowH2PO4- to be visually detected with high selectivity because of the hydrogen bonding interaction between H2PO4- and the ligand. Moreover,the assay method showed a linear response range of 6×10-7-6×10-6mol/L for H2PO4- with colorimetric detection limit being 7×10-7 mol/L,which allows the method to be applied for the colorimetric detection of H2PO4-.

    Surface organic magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles were prepared by one-step double precipitation method with surfactant and using magnesium chloride hexahydrate as raw material and sodium hydroxide as precipitant. Moreover,the settlement property of the magnesium hydroxide slurry were improved. The oil absorption and contact angle were selected as parameters to characterize the effect of surfactant on the modified magnesium hydroxide and its slurry's settlement property. The particle size and molecular structure were characterized by laser particle size analyzer(LPSA) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR),respectively. Experimental results indicated that the magnesium hydroxides modified by different surfactant were different. Among the surfactants,OA was the best for the modification of magnesium hydroxide,because the oil absorption and contact angle were significantly increased,and the settlement property was improved after OA modification. FTIR results indicated that OA had indeed been bonded on the surface of magnesium hydroxide.

    ZIF-8 was calcined in nitrogen,and the calcined samples were characterized by XRD,FESEM,BET,and HRTEM. The adsorption and photocatalytic properties of the calcined samples were tested through the removal of methylene blue. The results showed that the structure and morphology of ZIF-8 were maintained when the calcination temperature was less than 500℃. When the temperature reached 600℃,ZIF-8 began to decompose,the Zn in the structure changed to ZnO,and the complex ZnO@C was formed. Unfortunately,the photocatalytic activity of ZnO@C was not high,because the formed ZnO was covered by C,which reduced tits contact with methylene blue molecules. With the further increase of the temperature,porous carbon of graphite structure was formed. The higher the calcination temperature,the more the particles' agglomeration and blocks of large particle size were formed by the aggregation of nano-sized particles. The increase of calcination temperature also led to the increases of specific surface area and the number of mesoporous and large pores of the calcined samples. The methylene blue removal experiments showed that the removal efficiency was significantly increased with the increase of carbonization temperature. The removal efficiency of porous carbon formed by carbonization at 1000℃ was better than that of commercial activated carbon,which is mainly because the former had the surface area and larger pore size.

    Vitamin K3 (VK3),an important intermediate for the synthesis of vitamin K,medicine and feed additive,can be obtained only by the artificial synthesis. β-methylnaphthalene (β-MN) can be directly oxidized to VK3 by green method but with many difficulties. Research on the catalytic oxidation of low-cost β-MN to VK3 by different oxidants,such as hydrogen peroxide,oxidizing salt and oxygen,is reviewed in this paper. The review is focus on the catalytic oxidation reactions using green oxidant,hydrogen peroxide. The latest research results on gas phase oxidation,electrolytic oxidation and microwave oxidation are mentioned. Due to the simple operation and low energy consumption,liquid-phase oxidation and gas phase oxidation should be the first choice for industrial production of VK3. Although the study on microwave oxidation is still at the early stage,the high-efficient and green microwave oxidation has drawn great attention. Finally,some suggestions for future synthesis of VK3,such as preparation of catalyst,selection of oxidants and solvents,are suggested.

    Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was successfully applied to study the synergistic effect of Pd/Al2O3 and Novozyme 435 on the dynamic kinetic resolution of 1,1,1-trifluoroisopropylamine(TFPA). The variables taken into consideration were reaction temperature,substrate concentration,the Pd/Al2O3 amount,and the Novozyme 435 amount. Experiments were designed and analyzed based on Box-Behnken principle. A statistical model was used to evaluate the influence of the variables on the conversion and enantiomeric excess(ee). It was found that the interaction between the Novozyme 435 and Pd/Al2O3 was a significant parameter that affected TFPA conversion. The optimum conditions for RSM were:reaction temperature of 50℃,TFPA concentration of 0.5mol/L,10g/L of Novozyme 435,and 5g/L of Pd/Al2O3.

    With the further development of urbanization and industrialization in China,tremendous waste was generated every year. It is necessary to find a suitable way of waste disposal. This paper presented the survey of the waste globally and in China,general ways of waste disposal,especially discussed the current applications of alkyl polyglycosides(APG)for waste in waste-water treatment,food and agriculture. The feasibility of industrial application is addressed. Anaerobic digestion,as an effective WTE(waste-to-energy) approach for waste disposal,is the future's trend and direction. APG is fully biodegradable and has no harm to the environment. As a surfactant,APG can strongly enhance the solubilization and hydrolysis of organic waste and accelerate the progress of anaerobic digestion,thus can be applied to industrialization progress of anaerobic waste disposal. The technology of anaerobic digestion has been comprehensively used in the developed countries in Europe,America and Asia,but the adoption in China is relatively slow. Thus,some suggestions were proposed for the future's development of APG as a scientific and economic way to protect the environment.

    The inhibition performance and adsorption mechanism of lauryl imidazoline sulfuric ester on the A3 steel surface have been studied using weight loss method,contact angle test,atomic force microscope,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The film-forming mechanism on the A3 steel surface was also discussed. The results indicated that LIMS molecules adsorption film could inhibit the corrosion of A3 steel significantly. Inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of mass concentration. The inhibition efficiency was above 90% at a mass concentration of 800mg/L at the temperature range of 298-318K. LIMS could form adsorbed film on metal surface,it was from hydrophobic film of long chain alkyl and strong effect between N,S,O and metal surface. Contact angle of film-forming steel surface increased with the mass concentration of LIMS. The contact angle was up to 103.51°. The higher the contact angle was,the higher the density of the adsorption film was.

    A non-phosphorus and sulfur-free triazine derivative lubricant additive 2,4-bi(N,N-bihydroxyethylamino)-6-hydroxyl-sym-triazine(named as CDDA)was synthesized using cyanuric chloride and diethanol amine as raw materials. Another non-phosphorus and sulfur-free triazine derivative lubricant additive 2,4-bimorpholinyl-6-hydroxyl-sym-triazine(named as CMDA)was synthesized using CDDA as raw material. The structure of CDDA and CMDA were characterized by FTIR,elemental analysis and ESI-MS. The solubilities of CDDA and CMDA in water were tested and their thermal stabilities were studied by thermal analysis. The friction reducing,anti-wear and load-carrying capacities of CDDA and CMDA in water were investigated by four-ball testing. The surface morphology and the elemental composition of the tribofilms wereinvestigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),respectively. The results revealed that the synthetic products were the target compounds CDDA and CMDA. They were completely dissolved and had good soluble properties in water. The decomposition temperature of CMDA and CDDA ranged from 278.26℃ to 460.15℃,and from 110.46℃ to 457.58℃,respectively,the thermal stability of CMDA was better than that of CDDA. CDMA exhibited better tribological performances than CDDA under different experimental conditions of test loads and additive concentrations. The excellent tribological property of CMDA may be due to the nitrogen heterocyclic structure and more heterocyclic structure in its molecule,which plays an important role in extreme pressure and anti-wear of boundary lubrication.

    Adsorption has become a prevailing technique to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environment due to its low cost,easy operation and easy recovery. This paper reviewed the latest development of adsorption mechanism and the commonly used adsorbents for PAHs. The adsorption mechanisms including π-π interaction,acid-base theory,π-complexation and hydrophobic interaction have been well illustrated. Then we summarized the research progress on adsorbents,such as bio-materials,soil,carbon materials and mesoporous materials,etc. The influence of the material modification on the adsorption capacity was discussed from the perspective of adsorption mechanism. Furthermore,we analyzed the pros and cons and the applications of these adsorbents,which may provide a direction for the exploration of efficient adsorbents for the removal of PAHs. However,the main challenge is that the adsorbents are difficult to recycle and reuse and easy to produce secondary pollution,which is also the major obstacle for the large-scale industrial applications. Therefore,the development,modification,and recycling usage of novel and high-efficiency adsorbents,and the understanding of the underlying adsorption and regeneration mechanisms will be the main research directions for PHAs removal.

    Preparation of calcium carbonate can achieve high value-added utilization of carbide slag,which is important to the sustainable development of chemical engineering of carbide. Preparation method,especially the process of leaching and carbonation were introduced. The progress in producing calcium carbonate with carbide slag as well as its surface modification and crystal controlling were reviewed. In leaching-carbonization method,ammonium chloride acting as leaching agent is recyclable,CO2 from waste gas can be used as carbonation agent,which is considered to have great potential and prospects. In preparation of calcium carbonate,surface modification of nano-calcium carbonate can be made as well. Calcium carbonate with different crystals and amorphous can be achieved through crystal control. Utilization of carbide slag in preparation of calcium carbonate shows the trend of elevation of added value. Study in the future should focus on the improving of circulative technic and deepen the study on ultra-fining,surface modification and crystal controlling of calcium carbonate in the utilization of carbide slag.

    Experimental studies on the mercury release characteristics under O2/CO2 atmosphere were carried out in a vertical tube furnace device. The effects of 21%O2/79%N2 and 21%O2/79%CO2 atmospheres,different O2 and CO2 concentrations on the Hg0(g) release were investigated. The experimental results show that the mercury mass balance ratio is 83.75%-114.1%,verifying the accuracy of the experimental results. (g) concentration under O2/N2 atmosphere is higher than that under O2/CO2 atmosphere at 250-400℃. Under O2/CO2 atmosphere,Hg0(g) release amount is slightly higher than that under O2/N2 atmosphere at 400-600℃. With the O2 concentration increasing,the release amount of the Hg0(g) reduces,which indicates that O2 can enhance Hg0(g) oxidation. Hg0(g) concentration changes little when CO2 increases from 0 to 30%. However,Hg0(g) release amount increases with the rise of CO2 from 30% to 50%. This may be because high CO2 concentration inhibits Hg0(g) oxidation.

    Oxygen-enriched combustion experiments of oily sludge in the horizontal tube furnace were studied. Trace element content in ash was measured by using AFS-933 atomic fluorescence meter. The migration characteristics of trace elements Hg,As,Pb and Zn was investigated at different temperature and atmosphere(including O2/CO2 and air atmospheres). The results showed that Hg release rate is close to 100% at the temperature above 500℃.The change of combustion temperature and atmosphere has little effect on the release of Hg. In O2/CO2 atmosphere,As,Pb and Zn release rate increases with combustion temperature increase,and the release rate increases from 35%,22%,15% to 65%,40%,16.5%,respectively. Pb release rate increases from 34% to 46% with the increase of oxygen concentration. As release rate decreases from 53% to 20% with the increase of oxygen concentration. Zn release rate first increases and then decreases with the increase of oxygen concentration from 14% to 19% and then to 15%. As,Pb,Zn release rate in air atmosphere is greater than that in 21%O2/79%CO2 atmosphere at the same temperature,and the release rate decreases from 54.5%,38%,17% to 53%,34%,14%,respectively.

    Forced oxidation is a main slurry oxidation method in wet flue gas desulfurization(WFGD),and there exists a series problems,such as deposition and slagging in WFGD system、inadequate oxidation and per-oxidation. Based on the nature of redox reaction in slurry oxidation process,this paper puts forward pH and oxidation reduction potential(ORP)dual control strategy to solve the above problems. The response for pH and ORP in calcium sulfite oxidation process was experimentally study of under heterogeneous conditions. the mechanism of response to the occurrence was analyzed in-depth. The results indicated that both pH and ORP showed a non-linear change characteristic in the oxidation process. pH determined by concentration of SO32- ions,tends to gradually reduce from alkaline to neutral pH monitoring data reflects the actual concentration of the SO32- ions. There is a revulsion in the ratio of ORP changes,and the time of the revulsion is accordance well with the platform of the oxidation rate. Calcium sulfite oxidation occurred mainly in the first two stages of potential changes,and the dissolved oxygen accumulates and saturates in the next two stages. ORP turns out subsequently steady after a short-term rise,which demonstrates calcium sulfite oxidation reaching a stable stage. The results provide an effective theoretical basis for pH and ORP oxidation dual control in WFGD.
