温度和水蒸气流量对烟秆高温气化的影响

利用上吸式固定床反应器,对烟秆进行了水蒸气气化实验,在617~1 435℃的温度范围内研究了温度及水蒸气流量对气化特性的影响。结果表明,当气化温度低于917℃时,升高温度可同时促进均相和非均相产氢反应的进行,产氢率随着温度升高而迅速上升。当温度上升到917℃时,非均相反应已进行得足够充分,潜在产氢率达到最大值,碳转换率超过0.8。当温度超过917℃后,温度升高对产氢的影响主要体现为促进均相反应进行,产氢率上升变缓。温度达到1 327℃时,均相反应速率足以使气体在反应器内反应完全,因而升高温度不再有助于提高产氢率,产氢率最大值为0.97m~3/kg。水蒸气流量增加能够促进气化产氢反应与水蒸气扩散,同时会缩短气体停留时间、降低局部温度,因此,随着水蒸气流量增加,产氢率先升高后降低,在917℃时烟秆气化的最佳水蒸气流量为15.7 g/min。结果可以为生物质高温气化制氢的研究提供参考。

A kinetic study of anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures

The kinetics of the anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater (OMW) was studied in the mesophilic and thermophilic ranges of temperature. Two completely mixed continuous flow bioreactors operating at 35 degrees C and 55 degrees C and with an average biomass concentration of 5.45 g VSS litre(-1) were used. The thermophilic reactor worked satisfactorily between hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 10 to 40 days, removing between 94.6 and 84.4% of the initial chemical oxygen demand (COD). In contrast, the mesophilic reactor showed a marked decrease in substrate utilization and methane production at a HRT of 10 days. TVFA levels and the TVFA/alkalinity ratio were higher and close to the suggested limits for digester failure. The yield coefficient for methane production (1 CH(4) STP g(-1) COD(added)) was 28% higher in the thermophilic process than in the mesophilic one. Macroenergetic parameters, calculated using Guiot's kinetic model, gave yield coefficients for the biomass (Y) of 0.18 (mesophilic) and 0.06 g VSS g(-1) COD (thermophilic) and specific rates of substrate uptake for cell maintenance (m) of 0.12 (mesophilic) and 0.27 g COD g(-1) VSS.day(-1) (thermophilic). The experimental results showed the rate of substrate uptake (R(s); g COD g(-1) VSS.day(-1)), correlated with the concentration of biodegradable substrate (S(b); g COD litre(-1)), through an equation of the Michaelis-Menten type for the two temperatures used.

Woody biomass and RPF gasification using reforming catalyst and calcium oxide

This study focused on steam gasification and reforming of waste biomass using a reforming catalyst. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the durability of a commercial Ni reforming catalyst and the effect of CaO on the reforming behavior, and to clarify detailed factors of catalytic performance, as well as the effect of operating parameters on the characteristics of produced gas composition. Moreover, catalyst regeneration was carried out and the behavior of catalytic activity based on gas composition was investigated. Using a fluidized bed gasifier and a fixed bed reformer, gasification and reforming of waste biomass were carried out. Commercial Ni-based catalyst and calcined limestone (CaO) were applied to the reforming reaction. Temperature of the gasifier and reformer was almost 1023 K. Ratio of steam to carbon in the feedstock [mol mol⁻¹] and equivalence ratio (i.e., ratio of actual to theoretical amount of oxygen) [-] were set at about 2 and 0.3, respectively. The feed rate of the feedstock into the bench-scale gasifier was almost 15 kg h⁻¹. The results of waste biomass gasification confirmed the improvement in H₂ composition by the CO₂ absorption reaction using the reforming catalyst and CaO. In addition, CaO proved to be especially effective in decreasing the tar concentration in the case of woody biomass gasification. Catalytic activity was maintained by means of catalyst regeneration processing by hydrogen reduction after air oxidation when woody biomass was used as feedstock.     

Kinetics and mechanism of color removal of methylene blue with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by some supported alumina surfaces

The catalyzed kinetics of the oxidative mineralization of the cationic dye methylene blue, phenothiazonium, 3,7-bis(dimethylamino)-chloride, with hydrogen peroxide were studied both in buffered and unbuffered solutions. The supported alumina catalysts used were in the form of copper(II), cobalt(II), manganese(II), and nickel(II)-ions. Also, some copper(II)-complexes were used, e.g. copper(II)-ammine ([Cu(amm)4]2+), copper(II)-ethylenediamine ([Cu(en)2]2+) and copper(II)-monoethanolamine ([Cu(mea)2]2+). The reaction is first order with respect to methylene blue. On the other hand, the order with respect to hydrogen peroxide is concentration range dependent. This range depends strongly on the catalyst used. At lower [H2O2], the order was 1 which then decreases with increasing [H2O2] passing through 0 at the maximum rate and finally becomes negative. This phenomenon is parallel to the formation of a colored intermediate on the surface of the catalyst. This suggests that the intermediate has an inhibiting effect on the rate of color removal. Moreover, the rate of the reaction was found to be strongly dependent on the pH of the solution and its ionic strength. It increases with increasing both pH and the concentration of added potassium chloride. Also, the rate of reaction is inhibited in presence of sodium dodecylsulfate anionic surfactant. The repeated use of the different catalysts showed that their catalytic activities are almost unaffected. A reaction mechanism was proposed with the formation of free radicals as reactive intermediates.     

Human health risk assessment of organochlorines associated with fish consumption in a coastal city in China

Food consumption is an important route of human exposure to organochlorines (OCs). In order to assess the potential health risks associated with these contaminants due to fish consumption, five species of fish were collected from a local market in Zhoushan City, an island in the East China Sea. Dioxin-like compounds, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/ dibenzofurans, in the fish samples were screened by H4IIE-luc cell bioassay, and the concentrations of specific organochlorines were measured by gas chromatograph-electron capture detector (GC-ECD). The bioassay results indicated that concentrations of dioxin-like compounds in the fish samples were below detection limit (0.64 pg/mL). The concentrations of OC pesticides and PCBs ranged from 0.67 to 13 and 0.24 to 1.4 ng/g wet wt., respectively. Significantly, concentrations of p,p'-DDE in fish meat were comparatively high (average 3.9 ng/g wet wt.) compared with the other OC pesticides. The daily fish consumption, based on a dietary survey conducted among 160 local healthy residents, was determined to be 105 g/person. The relevant cancer benchmark concentrations of HCB, dieldrin, chlordane, DDTs and PCBs were 0.36, 0.04, 1.6, 1.7, and 0.29 ng/kg per day, respectively, based on the local diet. The hazard ratios (HRs), based on non-cancer endpoints were all less than 1.0, while the HRs based on cancer were greater than 1.0 for certain contaminants based on the 95th centile concentration in fish tissue.     

Mechanisms of molecular product and persistent radical formation from the pyrolysis of hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is considered to be one of the major, potential molecular precursors for semiquinone-type radicals in the combustion of complex polymeric and oligomeric structures contained in biomass materials. Comprehensive product yield determinations from the high-temperature, gas-phase pyrolysis of hydroquinone in two operational modes (rich and lean hydrogen conditions) are reported at a reaction time of 2.0s over a temperature range of 250-1000 degrees C. Below 500 degrees C, p-benzoquinone is the dominant product, while at temperatures above 650 degrees C other products including phenol, benzene, styrene, indene, naphthalene, biphenylene, phenylethyne, dibenzofuran and dibenzo-p-dioxin are formed. Hydrogen-rich conditions initially inhibit hydroquinone decomposition (below 500 degrees C) but promote product formation at higher temperatures. The decomposition process apparently proceeds via formation of a resonance stabilized p-semiquinone radical. Detailed mechanisms of formation of stable molecular species as well as stable radicals are proposed.     

The chemical exploitation of nickel phytoextraction: An environmental, ecologic and economic opportunity for New Caledonia

Herein, we explore the outlines of an innovative method based on the chemical recovery of metal-rich biomass produced in phytoextraction technologies. Taking advantage of the adaptive capacity of some New Caledonian plants to hyperaccumulate Ni²⁺ cations in their aerial parts, this technique is based on the direct use of metals derived from plants as “Lewis acid” catalysts in organic chemistry. Metallic cations contained in New Caledonian nickel hyperaccumulators are recovered through a simple cost-effective process and serve the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts used in synthetic transformations allowing access to molecules with high added-value. The design of all processes is in line with the principles of green chemistry; it is adapted to the new economic constraints; it offers a new relevant outlet for metal-rich biomass; and it represents an alternative to non-renewable mineral materials.
