Feasibility study of decomposing methane with hydroxyl radicals

Coal-mine gas disaster is one of the most serious coal-mine disasters in China. The main component of coal-mine gas, methane is chemically stable and very difficult to be degraded by conventional methods. Hydroxyl radical (OH), due to strong oxidizing ability and high electro-negativity, is the primary degradation source of atmospheric methane. In the present study, methane degradation using hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton’s reagent, Fe²⁺/H₂O₂, has been carried out in the self-designed bubbling reactor. The effects of H₂O₂ concentration, dosage of FeSO₄·7H₂O and initial pH value on methane removal efficiency were investigated respectively. It has been found that the optimal reaction conditions were 100 mM of hydrogen peroxide, 2.00 mM of ferrous ion and initial pH value of 2.5. Under optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of methane reached 25% after 30 min. The preliminary experimental results unambiguously demonstrate that the degradation of methane using hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton’s reagent is feasible.

Destruction of methylene blue by mediated electrolysis using two-phase system

The destruction and colour removal of methylene blue were carried out by mediated electrochemical oxidation using cerium(IV) mediator in nitric acid medium using two-phase system and was applied for oxidation of organic compound. Organic compounds and mediator were taken in the organic and aqueous phases respectively. The influence of organic solvent type, cerium(III) concentration, dye concentration, stirring speed and temperature were investigated in order to find the optimum conditions of the system to check the removal of COD and colour in the organic phase. The decolourisation followed the pseudo-first order reaction for electrochemically oxidized cerium(IV). The maximum colour removal efficiency of 95% was achieved within 45 min in dichloromethane solvent system. The COD removal efficiency and colour removal rate were increased with increase in temperature and stirring speed.     

New method for acrylic acid recovery from industrial waste water via esterification with 2-ethyl hexanol

Acrylic acid (AA) is an important component for the production of acrylate polymer. In a typical acrylic manufacturing unit, waste water contains AA in a range of 4–15 wt.% contributes to the high values of chemical oxygen demand. Due to the toxicity of AA to the aquatic organism, this wastewater should be treated before it is discharged to the environment. The waste water could be evaporated before sending to the incineration which was neither economic feasible nor environmental friendly. Esterification of wastewater containing carboxylic acid with alcohol could be a promising method to recover the acid by converting it to ester while purifying the wastewater. In the present study, recovery of AA via esterification with 2-ethyl hexanol (2EH) was investigated. The model industrial wastewater with various concentration of AA (10–100% w/w) was reacted with 2EH to produce 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate (2EHA) in the setups with total reflux and continuously water removal. These Amberlyst-15 (ion exchange resin) catalyzed reactions were carried out under the mass transfer resistance free region. The performance of both systems was compared. The yield for the reactions of the AA solutions with the AA concentrations of 30–80% was enhanced significantly when the reactions were carried out using the second setup. The kinetic data of the esterification of dilute AA was well described by the Eley–Rideal (ER) kinetic model incorporated with a correction factor to consider the catalyst fouling effect and pseudo-homogeneous (PH) kinetic model for the AA polymerization. The findings have shown the potential of recovering AA from the waste water stream via esterification. The concentrated AA solutions or larger amount of inhibitor should be adopted to prevent the catalyst fouling by the deposition of poly-acrylic acid on the catalyst surface.     

基于遗传算法的支持向量机预测有机物自燃点的研究

根据定量构效关系(QSPR)原理,研究自燃点(AIT)与其分子结构间的内在定量关系。以265种有机化合物作为样本集,随机选择238种作为训练集,27种作为测试集,用遗传算法(GA)进行变量选择,分别建立多元线性回归(MLR)模型和支持向量机(SVM)模型研究有机物的自燃点与其分子结构间的关系。通过分析,发现造成模型预测效果不佳的原因是试验数据本身存在问题。通过对2个模型的比较,结果为GA-SVM模型明显优于GA-MLR模型,说明自燃点与其分子结构间具有很强的非线性关系。

The recovery of anionic azo dyes namely Congo red (CR), methyl orange (MO) from acidic aqueous solutions using tri-octyl amine (TOA) as an extractant has been investigated. The percentage of extraction of MO and CR increases with an increasing TOA concentration. The anionic dyes were extracted from aqueous solution at pH 2.0 ± 0.1. The extracted dye has been back extracted into aqueous solutions using sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase obtained after the stripping of dyes was washed with dilute sodium hydroxide solution to neutralize any sulphuric acid trapped or adhered to the solvent and then with distilled water. This solvent was reused in succeeding extraction of dyes. The influencing parameters were; the effect of diluents, effect of extractant concentration, effect of pH, effect of interference study, effect of equilibrium time, various stripping reagents and stripping phase ratio. The characterization studies such as UV and IR spectra of extracted and stripped MO and CR was also studied.

Risk of serious injury of occupants involved in frontal crashes of cab-over-type trucks

Objectives: Truck vehicles (TVs) have a different structure and stiffness than non-TVs and are used commercially for transporting goods. This study aimed to analyze whether truck occupants have a greater risk of serious injury than those of other types of vehicles.

Methods: Crash data were obtained from the Korean In-Depth Data Analysis Study (KIDAS) for calendar years 2011–2016. Vehicles involved in frontal crash were included and classified into TVs and non-TVs (passenger cars and sports utility vehicles). We compared the demographic characteristics and serious injuries by body region between the 2 groups and analyzed factors that contributed to the serious injury severity from frontal crashes.

Results: The analysis was based on 884 occupants; 177 (20.0%) were in TVs and 707 (80.0%) were in non-TVs. Non-TVs had more frontal airbags deployments than TVs (50.9% vs. 3.4%, P <.01). TV occupants were 4.8 times more likely to have a serious lower extremity (LE) injury (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.820; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.407–9.653) and 2.5 times to have a serious abdominal injury (AOR = 2.465; 95% CI, 1.108–5.487) compared to non-TV occupants.

Conclusions: Truck occupants had more serious LE and abdominal injuries than those of other types of vehicles in frontal crashes. Structural improvement and legislative efforts to develop safety systems are necessary to improve the safety of truck occupants.     

Evaluating the Brazilian zero tolerance drinking and driving law: Time series analyses of traffic-related mortality in three major cities

Objective: A zero tolerance alcohol restriction law was adopted in Brazil in 2008. In order to assess the effectiveness of this intervention, the present study compares specific mortality in 2 time series: 1980–2007 and 2008–2013.

Methods: Data on mortality and population were gathered from official Brazilian Ministry of Health information systems. Segmented regression analyses were carried out separately for 3 major Brazilian capitals: Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo.

Results: In 2 cities (Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro) there were no significant changes in mortality rate trends in 2 periods, 1980 to 2007 and 2008 to 2013, where the observed rates did not differ significantly from predicted rates. In São Paulo, a decreasing trend until 2007 unexpectedly assumed higher levels after implementation of the law.

Conclusion: There is no evidence of reduced traffic-related mortality in the 3 major Brazilian capitals 5.5 years after the zero tolerance drinking and driving law was adopted.     

Analysis of the influence of passenger vehicles front-end design on pedestrian lower extremity injuries by means of the LLMS model

Objective: This work aims at investigating the influence of some front-end design parameters of a passenger vehicle on the behavior and damage occurring in the human lower limbs when impacted in an accident.

Methods: The analysis is carried out by means of finite element analysis using a generic car model for the vehicle and the lower limbs model for safety (LLMS) for the purpose of pedestrian safety. Considering the pedestrian standardized impact procedure (as in the 2003/12/EC Directive), a parametric analysis, through a design of experiments plan, was performed. Various material properties, bumper thickness, position of the higher and lower bumper beams, and position of pedestrian, were made variable in order to identify how they influence the injury occurrence. The injury prediction was evaluated from the knee lateral flexion, ligament elongation, and state of stress in the bone structure.

Results: The results highlighted that the offset between the higher and lower bumper beams is the most influential parameter affecting the knee ligament response. The influence is smaller or absent considering the other responses and the other considered parameters. The stiffness characteristics of the bumper are, instead, more notable on the tibia. Even if an optimal value of the variables could not be identified trends were detected, with the potential of indicating strategies for improvement.

Conclusions: The behavior of a vehicle front end in the impact against a pedestrian can be improved optimizing its design. The work indicates potential strategies for improvement. In this work, each parameter was changed independently one at a time; in future works, the interaction between the design parameters could be also investigated. Moreover, a similar parametric analysis can be carried out using a standard mechanical legform model in order to understand potential diversities or correlations between standard tools and human models.     

Decolorization and degradation of acid dye with immobilized titania nanoparticles

This paper addresses the decolorization and degradation of acid dye by a heterogeneous photocatalytic process using immobilized nano-sized TiO₂ particles as the photocatalyst. Sackcloth fiber was used as a support to immobilize the nano-sized TiO₂ photocatalyst. The structural properties of the immobilized photocatalyst were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDX. UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy and the measurement of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) were also used for the process performance studies. The XRD results did not show significant changes in the structure of P25 as a consequence of the immobilization procedure. The formation of titania crystallites in the sackcloth fiber was confirmed by SEM/EDX. The photocatalytic activities of TiO₂-coated sackcloth fiber catalyst were evaluated using Acid Black 26 as a model organic contaminant and using UV-A radiation. Experimental results showed that after 60 min, the degradation of Acid Black 26 with the immobilized TiO₂ particles was higher than that with plain TiO₂. Based on the COD results, after 3 h, the TiO₂-coated sackcloth fiber effectively decomposed all of the organic compounds present in dye solution under the studied experimental conditions. The effects of the oxidant H₂O₂, initial dye concentration and pH on the photocatalytic degradation were also investigated. The presence of CO₃^2? as a dissolved inorganic anion had the highest inhibitory effect on the decolorization of the dye, when compared with the other anions investigated. Kinetics analysis indicates that the photocatalytic decolorization rate of Acid Black 26 can be described by a pseudo-first-order model.

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass in a Fluidized Bed Reactor: Influence of the Acidity of H-Beta Zeolite

Catalytic pyrolysis of pine biomass was carried out in a fluidized bed reactor at 450°C. The acidic catalysts used as bed material in the reactor were β-zeolites with varying silica to alumina ratio, thus having different acid strengths. Quartz sand was used as bed material in the non-catalytic experiment. The yield of the different product phases was clearly influenced by the zeolites acidity. The chemical composition of the bio-oil was dependent on the catalyst. Zeolites with stronger acidity formed less organic oil, and respectively more water and polyaro-matic hydrocarbons than less acidic zeolites.     

Theoretical and experimental studies on the thermal decomposition of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutyl phosphate

Ionic liquid, an organic molten salt, has efficient flame-retardant performance. Few researchers have attempted to study its flame-retardant mechanism. Moreover, thermal stability and pyrolysis products have a great impact on the flame retardancy. Therefore, this paper focused on the phosphate ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutyl phosphate ([Bmim][DBP]) and analyzed its thermal decomposition products and characteristics. The major bond energies of [Bmim][DBP] were calculated using B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p)//M06–2X/6–311++G(d,p) level. The experimental results show that the pyrolysis products were as followed: alkane or alkene with a carbon chain length of 1–4; imidazole and its derivatives; esters. Furthermore, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer were utilized to measure the gaseous products and solid phase products of [Bmim][DBP], which were obtained during thermogravimetric analysis. The results of theoretical and experimental analysis were highly consistent. Finally, the possible flame-retardant mechanism of [Bmim][DBP] was proposed.
