Explosions of carbon black and propane hybrid mixtures

Explosions of hybrid mixtures, i.e. mixtures containing more than one combustible phase, are not well understood. Most studies in this area involve mixtures of common dusts and gases, such as coal and methane, or polyethylene and ethylene. The present work focuses on explosions of carbon black particles, i.e. almost pure carbon with a very low content of volatiles: this makes the process of explosion less intense. However, addition of some quantities of combustible gases (here: propane) may sustain combustion processes. Another important issue is the fact that the carbon black particles are smaller in size than most dusts encountered in the process industry. The experiments were carried out in a 20-L explosion vessel and the analysis of the results focuses on the maximum explosion pressures and the maximum rates of pressure rise as a function of carbon black and propane concentrations. In addition, some samples of unburnt dust were collected and analysed with a scanning electron microscope and with thermo-gravimetric analysis.     

城市黑臭水体的产生原因及治理对策

在我国经济发展势头如此迅猛的背景下,城市污染问题日益严重。城市黑臭水体对城市生态环境造成严重影响,如果不能及时进行治理,则会对原有水生态循环系统造成破坏,影响城市居民正常生活。本文首先对城市黑臭水体产生原因进行分析,然后提出有效的治理对策。     

黑木耳废弃菌糠的热解及动力学分析

为有效利用黑木耳废弃菌糠,减轻废弃菌糠造成的环境污染,通过热重分析法(TGA)研究黑木耳废弃菌糠在热解过程中发生的物质变化,研究气体氛围、粒径和升温速率对菌糠热解特性的影响,并进行动力学分析.结果表明,菌糠的热解过程包括失水、微失重、快速热解和炭化四个阶段.气体氛围、粒径和升温速率对于黑木耳废弃菌糠热解试验均有影响:N2气氛下反应过程更加直接,活化能较低;粒径越小,失重速率越高,反应越充分;升温速率越低,活化能也越低.最终计算得出在N2气氛下升温速率10℃/min条件下,反应所需要的活化能E相对较小,为52.010 kJ/mol.     

长期施肥对黑土中Cu、Cd含量及其剖面分布的影响

以经过8个不同施肥处理的黑土样品为材料,研究长期不同施肥处理下,黑土中Cu、Cd含量的差异.采用原子吸收分光光度法和Tessier-连续提取法,研究黑土中全Cu、全Cd和有效Cu、有效Cd的含量差异.结果表明,有机肥的长期施用,会使土壤中Cu、Cd与有机质发生络合并使Cu、Cd在土壤表层累积;秸秆和氮磷钾(S NPK)化肥的长期配合施用,有利于作物对有效Cu和Cd的吸收,从而使Cu、Cd在土壤中没有明显积累;NP及NPK处理下,二铵、氯化钾肥对土壤中Cu、Cd积累的影响不明显.长期耕作不施肥(CK)处理时,因无外源Cu、Cd,以及作物对有效Cu、Cd的长期吸收,土壤中Cu、Cd含量低于不耕作不施肥(休闲)处理的.从垂直剖面上看,Cu、Cd主要积累在黑土表层,而表层以下不同施肥处理间Cu、Cd含量的差异和变幅不大.有机肥料能明显地向土壤中带入Cu、Cd,造成Cu、Cd在土壤表层的积累,并由于植物体的吸收对人体造成潜在危害,而其他化学肥料对土壤中Cu和Cd积累的影响不明显.本研究为人们的生产实践提供了施肥理论和依据,并且对土壤的污染防治也具有现实意义.     

The bicultural life experience of career-oriented black women

This study explores the bicultural life experience of black career-oriented women. Seventy-one women participated in a larger study on the life experiences of black women. Of this sample, 21 (29 per cent) of the women were identified as being career-oriented. Findings reveal that the women perceive themselves as living in two distinct cultural contexts, one black the other one white. The women compartmentalize the various components of their lives in order to manage the bicultural dimensions. In addition, they tend to have highly complex life structures to embrace both cultural contexts.     

Determinants of salaries earned: Comparisons of black and white healthcare managers

We develop and test a model of salaries attained for four groups of healthcare executives: white males (n=216); black males (n=124), white females (n=249) and black females (n=139). We show that blacks are not earning as much as whites and that females of either race are earning less than males. Three sets of predictors are evaluated: individual achievements; access to employment by certain types of healthcare organizations; and treatment within the employing organization. Individual attainments, such as years of experience, predict higher salaries in all four groups. Only black males benefit from having taken a specialized degree in healthcare management. Also, supervision of whites within the employing organization raises the salaries of all groups except white females. Hospital employment, and private-sector employment play only an indirect role in salaries achieved by blacks in this 1991 survey.     

Bonding and supportive relationships among black professional women: Rituals of restoration

In two-day assessment workshops 71 black professional women explored the kinds of supportive relationships they have formed with significant black women friends and the consequences of these supportive relationships for their growth and development. Findings show two major types of supportive relationships: (1) other-oriented relationships, in which participants' bonds with other black women emphasize the provision of support to the other, and (2) self-enhancing relationships, in which participants' bonds with other black women are reciprocal in nature or are oriented toward self. Within these two types of relationships, three main functions of support were found: (1) social companionship, (2) task help, and (3) supportiveness. Of these three functions, the receipt of supportiveness consisting of emotional support, high commitment to one another, and encouragement to tackle life's obstacles resulted in the highest levels of growth and development among the participants, thus most effectively validating and addressing their experience of bicultural stress.

活性黑对黄孢原毛平革菌锰过氧化物酶的影响

观察了活性黑KN-B(Reactive Rlack KN-B,RB KN-B)对黄孢原毛平革菌(Phanerochaete chrysosporium)锰过氧化物酶(MnP)酶活力和菌丝超微结构的影响以及黄孢原毛平革菌对RB KN-B的降解.于P.chrysosporium培养液MnP酶活达最高前,分别加入质量浓度为50 mg/L,200 mg/L,350 mg/L和500 mg/L的RB KN-B.分光光度法检测培养液MnP酶活,电镜观察菌丝超微结构的影响,紫外-可见光谱法检测培养液中RB KN-B的降解.结果显示,1)与对照组相比,50 mg/L RBKN-B组的MnP酶活力增强,200 mg/L、350 mg/L和500 mg/L组的MnP酶活力均显著低于对照组;2)电镜观察显示,经RB KN-B作用后,菌丝细胞膜受损,细胞内含物减少,胞质浓缩,出现质壁分离现象,500mg/L组有大量细胞解体;3)紫外-可见光谱扫描显示,RB KN-B经黄孢原毛平革菌降解,可见光波段最大吸收峰由598 nm移至525 nm和556 nm,峰值减小,紫外波段的吸收峰由315 nm移至352 nm.结果显示,黄孢原毛平革菌对RB KN-B的反应类似机体对不良环境因子的应激反应,经历了诱导、抑制及衰退的过程;RB KN-B对黄孢原毛平革菌菌丝细胞超微结构的损伤随RB KN-B浓度增高而增强,表明RBKN-B对MnP酶活的抑制与黄孢原毛平革菌结构受损密切相关;黄孢原毛平革菌对RB KN-B具有一定的降解能力,其中MnP作为关键酶起了重要的作用.

沈阳黑炭气溶胶浓度的观测研究分析

对2008年3月至2009年2月沈阳黑炭气溶胶(BC)质量浓度观测资料进行了研究分析.结果表明,沈阳黑炭质量浓度平均值为6.143 μg/m3,每小时平均质量浓度最大值达51.426 μg/m3.黑炭质量浓度日变化有明显的双峰特征,最高值一般出现在7:00-9:00和18:00-20:00,低值出现在2:00-4:00和13:00--15:00.黑炭质量浓度具有明显的季节变化,并且与近地层大气温度垂直梯度有着较好的对应关系.夏季黑炭平均质量浓度最低,最高值出现在1月份,这与冬季取暖和近地层经常出现逆温等有关.与国外城市和国内拉萨与西宁相比,沈阳黑炭质量浓度明显偏高,但与北京和西安的黑炭质量浓度大致相当.     

黑碳对土壤中农药呋喃丹吸附与解吸行为的影响

为了考察黑碳对土壤中呋喃丹吸附与解吸行为的影响,选取小麦秸秆,分别在250℃、450℃和850℃下制备黑碳,测定了黑碳的比表面积和孔体积;采用批处理振荡法测定了呋喃丹在人工添加黑碳土壤中的吸附-解吸行为.结果表明,随制备温度升高,黑碳的比表面积、孔体积和微孔率增大;人工添加黑碳的土壤对呋喃丹的吸附容量和吸附强度随黑碳添加量增加而逐步增加,吸附和解吸等温线的非线性也逐步明显.添加高温制备黑碳的土壤比添加低温制备黑碳的土壤吸附容量、吸附和解吸的非线性均增加.吸附农药的解吸迟滞作用与土壤中黑碳的质量分数密切相关,添加高温制备黑碳的土壤解吸迟滞现象明显.因此,土壤中添加黑碳在一定程度上保证了土壤使用的安全性.     

原位固化黑荆树皮对Cr(VI)吸附性能的研究

通过甲醛的交联作用使单宁分子在黑荆树树皮内形成相互交联的大分子,低成本地制成原位固化黑荆树皮,用于吸附溶液中的Cr(VI).结果表明,原位固化黑荆树皮对Cr(VI)的吸附量随体系pH值的增加而减小,随Cr(VI)初始浓度和温度的升高而增加.在284 K、吸附4 h条件下,pH＝1.96时原位固化黑荆树皮对Cr(VI)的吸附容量是pH＝5.10时的2.7倍; pH＝2.0时,Cr(VI)初始质量浓度从30 mg/L升高到120 mg/L,吸附容量由30.0 mg/g增大到100.1 mg/g; 溶液温度从284 K升高到298 K,吸附容量由76.2 mg/g增大到94.2 mg/g.原位固化黑荆树皮对Cr(VI)的吸附动力学可以用拟二级速度方程来描述.吸附前后的原位固化黑荆树皮红外谱图表明,Cr(VI)可能先被还原成Cr(Ⅲ),再与原位固化黑荆树皮中酚羟基螯合而被吸附.     

不同环境条件下黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附动力学特征

采集吉林省松源农田的黑土样品,研究四溴双酚A在黑土中的吸附动力学特征,并探讨了pH值、离子强度(CaCl_2)、温度等不同环境条件对吸附动力学的影响。结果表明,四溴双酚A在黑土中的吸附过程可以分为快速吸附阶段(0~4 h)和慢速吸附阶段(4~48h),并于48 h达到吸附平衡。黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附符合拉格朗日准二级动力学方程和内扩散模型,表明该吸附过程以化学吸附为主,而吸附过程的限速步骤为颗粒间扩散。pH值等环境条件对吸附有明显影响,当pH值在6~9时,随pH值降低,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快且平衡吸附量增加;离子强度(CaCl_2)为0.001 mol/L、0.01 mol/L、0.1 mol/L时,离子强度增大,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快但平衡吸附量减小;温度为15℃、25℃、35℃时,随着温度升高,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快且平衡吸附量增加。     

苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸特性研究

采用MIE-D1.2型最小点火能测试装置及20 L球型粉尘爆炸测试装置,对苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘的爆炸特性进行研究。结果表明,过74μm、58μm、47μm孔径筛的粉尘对静电火花敏感,其最小点火能表征值分别为610 mJ、361 mJ、201 mJ。随粉尘质量浓度增加,最小点火能呈现先减小后增加的规律。随粉尘粒径减小,最小点火能与粉尘质量浓度变化关系曲线向低粉尘质量浓度和低点火能量方向偏移,且对应的最敏感爆炸质量浓度从500 g/m~3降至200 g/m~3。随粉尘质量浓度增加,过147μm、74μm、47μm孔径筛的苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸压力及爆炸压力上升速率呈现先增加后减小趋势。在相同粉尘质量浓度下,中位径小于74μm的苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘,粉尘的爆炸压力增幅明显减小。苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸下限质量浓度为25 g/m~3,最大爆炸指数为14.636 MPa·m/s,爆炸危险等级划分为St1。     

Opening the black box: an experimental investigation of the mediating effects of trust and value congruence on transformational and transactional leadership

This experimental study examined the causal effects of transformational and transactional leadership and the mediating role of trust and value congruence on follower performance. A total of 194 student participants worked on a brainstorming task under transformational and transactional leadership conditions. Leadership styles were manipulated using two confederates, and followers' performance was evaluated via three measures—quantity, quality, and satisfaction. Results, based on path analyses using LISREL, indicated that transformational leadership had both direct and indirect effects on performance mediated through followers' trust in the leader and value congruence. However, transactional leadership had only indirect effects on followers' performance mediated through followers' trust and value congruence. Implications of these results for future research on leadership are provided. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

凝冰路面弯道路段停车视距计算方法

考虑到我国公路路线设计规范中停车视距计算未涉及弯道参数及路面凝冰引起的路面摩阻系数降低等严重危害车辆行驶安全的因素,以AASHTO模型为基础,通过分析弯道路段车辆行驶时的受力、路面摩阻系数、超高、圆曲线半径等因素推导了凝冰路面弯道路段停车视距计算模型,得出了最不利情况下凝冰路面弯道路段停车视距参考值。当路面发生凝冰现象时,若车辆以交通安全法规规定的冰雪路面最高车速30 km/h行驶,通过对比该行驶速度下凝冰路面弯道路段停车视距与我国规范规定的停车视距可知,没有发挥道路的最大通行能力。以现有道路设计采用的停车视距反算出在役路面发生凝冰现象时的安全行车控制速度,为凝冰路面弯道路段车辆安全行驶控制提供参考。
