不同热解条件下合成生物炭对铜离子的吸附动力学研究

为了揭示生物质炭对铜离子的吸附动力学特性,研究了以不同条件下合成的生物质炭作为吸附剂吸附铜离子的动力学过程.用生活中常见的玉米芯和龙爪槐为原材料,以限氧升温炭化法制备生物炭.表征了其结构和表面特征,又通过一系列批实验,研究不同热解温度(300、400、500、600和700℃)和不同热解时间(1、2、4、6、8 h)的玉米芯与龙爪槐生物炭对Cu~(2+)的吸附动力学特征与机理.结果表明,生物炭对Cu~(2+)的吸附动力学数据随时间的变化能很好的用准二级动力学方程进行拟合,可见生物炭对Cu~(2+)的吸附是复杂的,不是单一的单层吸附.同时用颗粒内扩散模型、班厄姆方程和Boyd外扩散模型进行分析,结果表明颗粒内扩散不是两种生物炭吸附铜离子的唯一速率控制步骤,液膜扩散和颗粒内扩散均在吸附过程中起到重要影响,且液膜扩散是主要的限速因素.     

Emotional appeal in recruitment advertising and applicant attraction: Unpacking national cultural differences

We investigated the impact of the type of emotional appeal (ego‐focused vs. other‐focused) used in recruiting advertisements on applicant attraction to firms through two experimental studies across three countries (the United States, China, and Singapore). In Study 1, we made a traditional cultural comparison between the United States and China, whose dominant cultural values are characterized by individualism and collectivism, respectively. We found applicants in the United States were more strongly attracted to firms whose recruiting advertisements were based on an ego‐focused emotional appeal, while applicants in China were more attracted to firms that used ads with an other‐focused emotional appeal. Study 2 was conducted in bicultural Singapore. We primed bicultural applicants to be either the individualistic or collectivistic aspect of their cultural heritage. Applicants with individualist priming were attracted to recruiting advertisements with an ego‐focused emotional appeal, whereas applicants with collectivist priming were attracted to advertisements with an other‐focused emotional appeal. In addition, both studies revealed that a job applicant's regulatory focus (promotion vs. prevention) mediated the influence of national culture on the relationship between type of emotional appeal and applicant attraction to firms. Practical implications and suggestions for future research also are discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于非对称流场流分离技术的纳米银分离监测方法

以纳米银(AgNPs)作为典型的纳米颗粒物,利用非对称流场流分离技术构建纳米颗粒物的分离监测方法。制备了柠檬酸盐稳定的AgNPs分散液,采用透射电镜、紫外可见分光光度计、Zeta电位分析仪对AgNPs分散液进行了表征。结果表明,AgNPs半径多数小于10 nm,最大吸收波长为400 nm,Zeta电位为-42.56 m V。采用非对称流场流分离仪对AgNPs进行粒径分离,得到UV-Vis信号谱图,并收集得到半径小于10 nm、10~30 nm、30~50 nm、50~70 nm、70~100nm范围的AgNPs颗粒,结合电感耦合等离子体质谱仪测定每个粒径范围内AgNPs的质量浓度。结果表明,该方法重现性良好,AgNPs在半径小于10 nm的范围内达到了UV-Vis吸收峰值,响应信号最高为0.022 5~0.027 5 V,表明半径小于10 nm的AgNPs浓度较高。半径小于10 nm、10~30 nm、30~50 nm、50~70 nm、70~100 nm范围内AgNPs的质量浓度分别为(1 021.86±61.74)μg/L、(323.23±45.83)μg/L、(72.90±32.14)μg/L、(44.64±9.28)μg/L、(39.12±5.04)μg/L,回收率为43.96%±0.84%。     

光学迷宫对飞机货舱感烟探测器响应性能的影响

针对飞机货舱火灾的探测延迟性问题,探讨了光学迷宫对点型光电感烟探测器响应性能的影响,实验研究了点型光电感烟探测器在有、无迷宫两种情况下烟雾探测的响应过程,对比分析了不同烟量时迷宫的作用,并提出探测器迷宫结构的改进设计思路。实验结果表明,在探测器响应过程中,有光学迷宫的探测器烟雾浓度波动幅度较小,迷宫对烟气有滞留作用,提高了探测器的稳定性;但迷宫会使探测腔室的烟雾浓度明显滞后且低于腔外,增大了探测器的迟滞时间,烟雾浓度较低时这种迟滞影响更为明显,严重影响货舱火警探测器的灵敏度。     

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in background surface soils from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), China: occurrence,sources, and inventory

Purposes  

Very few data for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were available in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), one of the most developed and urbanized region in China. In this study, Chongming Island, located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, was selected as background area to investigate the occurrence, sources, and inventory of PBDEs.     

Plot-scale spatiotemporal variations of CO2 concentration and flux across water–air interfaces at aquaculture shrimp ponds in a subtropical estuary

Human activities have increased anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, which are believed to play important roles in global warming. The spatiotemporal variations of CO₂ concentration and flux at fine spatial scales in aquaculture ponds remain unclear, particularly in China, the country with the largest aquaculture. In this study, the plot-scale spatiotemporal variations of water CO₂ concentration and flux, both within and among ponds, were researched in shrimp ponds in Shanyutan Wetland, Min River Estuary, Southeast China. The average water CO₂ concentration and flux across the water–air interface in the shrimp ponds over the shrimp farming period varied from 22.79?±?0.54 to 186.66?±?8.71 μmol L^?1 and from ??0.50?±?0.04 to 2.87?±?0.78 mol m^?2 day^?1, respectively. There was no remarkable difference in CO₂ concentration and flux within the ponds, but significantly spatiotemporal differences in CO₂ flux were observed between shrimp ponds. Chlorophyll a, pH, salinity, air temperature, and morphometry were the important factors driving the spatiotemporal patterns of CO₂ flux in the shrimp ponds. Our findings highlighted the importance and spatiotemporal variations of CO₂ flux in the important coastal ecosystems.

Kinetic study of the removal of dimethyl phthalate from an aqueous solution using an anion exchange resin

Phthalate acid esters are becoming an important class of pollutants in wastewaters. This study addresses the kinetics of removal of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) using the anion exchange resin D201-OH from an aqueous solution. The effects of various factors on the removal rate and efficiency were investigated. An overall initial removal rate (OIRR) law and a pseudo first-order kinetic (PFOK) model were also developed. The internal diffusion of DMP within the resin phase of D201-OH is the rate-controlling step. Optimization of the particle size and pore structure of the resin D201-OH, the DMP concentration, and the reaction temperature can improve the DMP removal rate. The hydrolysis reaction of DMP catalyzed by D201-OH indicates an overall reaction order of 1.76, a value that is between the first order and the second order. The apparent activation energy of the reaction is 34.6 kJ/mol, which is below the homogeneous alkaline hydrolysis activation energy of 44.3 kJ/mol. The OIRR law can quantify the initial removal rate under different conditions. The results also show that the theoretical DMP removal efficiency predicted by the PFOK model agrees well with the experimentally determined values. Our research provides valuable insights into the primary parameters influencing the kinetic process, which enables a focused improvement in the removal or hydrolysis rate for similar processes.
