Properties of pyrolytic chars and activated carbons derived from pilot-scale pyrolysis of used tires

Used tires were pyrolyzed in a pilot-scale quasi-inert rotary kiln. Influences of variables, such as time, temperature, and agent flow, on the activation of obtained char were subsequently investigated in a laboratory-scale fixed bed. Mesoporous pores are found to be dominant in the pore structures of raw char. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surfaces of activated chars increased linearly with carbon burnoff. The carbon burnoff of tire char achieved by carbon dioxide (CO2) under otherwise identical conditions was on average 75% of that achieved by steam, but their BET surfaces are almost the same. The proper activation greatly improved the aqueous adsorption of raw char, especially for small molecular adsorbates, for example, phenol from 6 to 51 mg/g. With increasing burnoff, phenol adsorption exhibited a first-stage linear increase followed by a rapid drop after 30% burnoff. Similarly, iodine adsorption first increased linearly, but it held as the burnoff exceeded 40%, which implied that the reduction of iodine adsorption due to decreasing micropores was partially made up by increasing mesopores. Both raw chars and activated chars showed appreciable adsorption capacity of methylene-blue comparable with that of commercial carbons. Thus, tire-derived activated carbons can be used as an excellent mesoporous adsorbent for larger molecular species.

鄱阳湖流域水化学环境参数的变化特征

分别于2010年2月和7月,对鄱阳湖湖区和入湖河流的pH、TDS以及主要离子浓度进行了测定,分析了主要离子组成的时空变化特征及其影响机制。结果表明,鄱阳湖流域水体属于弱矿化度软水,Ca2+是湖水和河水的主要阳离子,分别占阳离子总数〖JP〗的5935%、4989%;HCO-3是湖水和河水的主要阴离子,分别占阴离子总数的5337%、5937%,水质类型为Ca-HCO-3型水;主要离子组成和TDS浓度具有明显的季节和沿程变化特征,这与降雨季节性变化以及不同水系的地质背景有关;从河流水系上游至湖区的水化学特征依次为HCO-3型、HCO-3-SO2-4和SO2-4型。从水化学控制机制上看,鄱阳湖丰水期受大气降水作用和地质条件影响显著,而枯水期降雨量大大减少,主要受岩石风化、蒸发沉淀作用和人为输入的影响。除此之外,SO2-4型水的增加与长江干流酸化以及丰水期长江顶托倒灌现象有密切关系     

基于MODIS数据的安徽区域日蒸散量估算与分析

蒸散的估算在区域能量平衡和水资源研究中具有重要意义,遥感技术发展促进了区域蒸散的研究。利用安徽省气象资料、MODIS数据产品及GIS背景信息,基于SEBAL模型,按1 km空间分辨率进行了面尺度的安徽省日蒸散量估算,并在GIS空间分析模块的支持下对不同土地覆盖类型的日蒸散量进行统计分析。结果表明：遥感估算的蒸散量与利用Penman Monteith公式计算的蒸散量比较,两者之间具有较好的相关性,遥感蒸散估算值整体偏小,不同土地利用类型的日蒸散量间差异显著。遥感蒸散估算方法在安徽省具有一定的实用性,需优化模型参数,以提高其进一步技术推广的前景     

棉花耐涝相关种质资源遗传多样性分析

为了解棉花耐涝相关种质资源的遗传多样性,选用均匀分布于棉花全基因组的145对引物,从中筛选出44对SSR引物对48份涝相关种质资源进行遗传多样性分析。结果表明,44对SSR引物在48份材料中共检测出170个等位基因变异,平均每个位点有386个。其中耐涝材料的位点多态信息含量(PIC)、每个位点的有效等位基因数(Ne)、基因型多样性(H′)分别为0632、1710 4和0393 7,涝敏感材料的PIC、Ne、H′分别为0628、1721 6和0399 4。耐涝材料和涝敏感材料的Jaccard相似性系数分别在0462~0925和0398~0845之间,遗传相似性系数总体平均值接近,但耐涝材料的变化幅度更大。用类平均法(UPGMA)聚类将48份材料分成2个类群。其中,第Ⅰ类包含39个品种,第Ⅱ类包含9个品种。大多数材料之间的遗传相似性系数较高,表明陆地棉耐涝相关种质资源遗传基础狭窄。本结果可为棉花耐涝育种亲本选配和相关机理研究提供基础资料

Study on dust–gas coupling pollution law and selection of optimal purification distance of air duct during tunneling process

During the excavation of high gas mine, gas and dust often exist at the same time. In order to ensure that the gas concentration remains within a safe range and minimize the risk of workers’ pneumoconiosis, we simulated the interaction mechanism of airflow, gas, and dust, explored the pollution law of gas and dust, and obtained the optimal purification distance (L_p) by the CFD method. The reliability of the numerical simulation was verified by field measurements. Firstly, the properties of the gas and dust affected the structure of the airflow field. At the same time, the change in the airflow field affected the concentration distributions of the gas and dust. During the diffusion process, some high-risk regions in which the gas or dust concentrations exceeded 0.80% or 200 mg/m³, respectively, were discovered. Moreover, we have found that the airflow velocity in the top region of the tunnel and at the intersection corner between the cutting face and tunnel wall was the main factor affecting the purification effects. When L_p = 5–8 m, the gas concentration remained below 0.50%. When L_p = 6 m, the dust concentration reached a minimum of 287.5 mg/m³. Therefore, the optimal purification distance was determined to be 6 m; in which case, the gas and dust concentrations decreased by 32.84% and 47.02%, respectively.

     

Mn-Ce复合金属氧化物催化氧化甲苯性能

通过等体积浸渍法制备了一系列Mn-Ce/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂, 并考察不同CeO₂负载量对MnO₂/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂催化氧化甲苯性能的影响。利用XRD、N₂吸脱附曲线、TEM、H₂-TPR、XPS和O₂-TPD等方法表征催化剂比表面积、表面形貌及氧化还原性能。结果表明,CeO₂的负载一定程度上降低了MnO₂/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的比表面积, 且催化剂仍保持介孔结构。CeO₂的存在增加了催化剂表面的化学吸附氧含量,其良好的储放氧能力促进了Mn³⁺向Mn⁴⁺的转化;Mn和Ce之间存在较强的协同作用, 与MnO_x相邻的CeO₂更容易打开Ce—O键释放活性氧, 加速氧化还原进程,Mn_0.6Ce_0.4/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂T₁₀和T₉₀与MnO₂/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂相比分别降低20和40 ℃。本研究可为VOCs催化氧化技术中低成本金属催化剂的开发提供参考。

A model for evaluation of the phytoavailability of trace elements to vegetables under the field conditions

Currently, several single extraction methods are used for the evaluation of the phytoavailability of metals using pot experiments. A systematic comparison, however, is lacking. It is especially true for the field studies. This study was to investigate the phytoavailability of trace elements to vegetables grown on metal-contaminated soils under the field conditions. All soils collected were typical calcareous soils in northern China. Four frequently used methods using CaCl2, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), CH3COOH, and water as extractants were compared for phyto-availability. The concentrations of metals extracted by these four extraction methods ranged from 3.42 to 815, 1.51- 6965, 0.732-24473, 0.688-7863, 0.246-685, 1.99-5337 0.203-4649 ng/g for Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb and REEs, respectively. Simple correlation analysis indicated that a significant correlation (Cr: r = 0.5411**; Zn: r = 0.6352**; Cd: r = 0.6979**; Pb: r = 0.5537** and REEs: r = 0.5185** -0.6684**) was observed between the CaCl2-extractable metals in soil solution and that in Chinese cabbage. In addition, soil pH, organic matter (OM), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) also affect the phytoavailability. An empirical model was developed to express the combined effect of soil properties on the phytoavailability. The stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the phytoavailability of trace elements strongly correlated with the extractable fraction by CaCl2, total metal concentration in soils, and soil pH, OM, CEC. This model can describe approximately 75-95% of the variability of metal uptake and the r2 values ranged from 0.741** to 0.954**, which were much better than the single correlation analysis. For celery and cole, a strong correlation was obtained for Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd, La, Ce, Pr and Nd. For spinach and Chinese cabbage, however, a positive correlation was only observed for 1 and 3 metals, respectively. Generally, the developed empirical model can integrate the combined effects of soil properties, extractable metal fractions in soil solutions and plant species on the phytoavailability of metals to vegetables in the field conditions.
