Influence of supports on photocatalytic degradation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide

The photocatalytic degradation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in aqueous suspensions with the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) under UV irradiation was examined. The effects of different supporting materials mixed physically with TiO2 were studied to achieve maximum degradation efficiency. Among the three supports, namely activated carbon (AC), silica (SiO2 ) and zeolite (ZSM-5), all exhibited paramount efficiency for degradation of phenol and 4-CP and was better than TiO2 alone. The optimum concentration was found to be 50 mg for all supporting materials. The efficiency order of the three supports was as follows: AC > ZSM-5 > SiO2 , respectively. Whilst, the degradation of phenol and 4-CP was improved from 70.6% to 87.6% and 80.6% to 89.7%, respectively, within 120 min photocatalysis in the presence of optimal amount of AC. The degradation was also comparatively enhanced in the presence of cheaper rice husk and the activity was closed to ZSM-5 and lower than AC.     

甲烷催化还原NOx中Co基/分子筛催化剂的助剂和载体优化

采用共浸渍法制备了系列Co基/分子筛催化剂,在固定床催化反应器中考察了不同催化剂在甲烷催化还原NO_x中的催化行为,优化了Co基/分子筛催化剂的助剂和载体,并通过催化表征手段阐明了其构效关系.结果表明,Fe和SAPO-34分别作为优化助剂和载体制备得到的Co-Fe/SAPO-34催化剂具有最高的催化活性,在450℃时,NO_x的最大转化率可以达到52.7%.CO_2对Co-Fe/分子筛催化剂活性无明显抑制作用,H_2O对催化剂的活性抑制是可逆的,SO_2对催化剂活性抑制作用明显.Co-Fe/SAPO-34催化剂表面钴物种以CoO和Co(OH)_2为主,Co-Fe/ZSM-5催化剂表面钴物种则以Co_3O_4和Co(OH)_2为主,Co-Fe/Beta催化剂则可能以CoO、Co Al2O_4和Co_3O_4为主.各Co-Fe/分子筛催化剂表面Fe~(2+)/Fe~(3+)含量比依次为Co-Fe/ZSM-5(3.98)Co-Fe/SAPO-34(0.52)Co-Fe/Beta(0.43).活性组分钴物种的形态和合适的Fe~(2+)/Fe~(3+)含量比对Co-Fe/分子筛催化剂上甲烷催化还原NO_x至关重要.Co-Fe/分子筛催化剂上CH_4-SCR反应机制为:NO在Br?nsted酸位上吸附氧化成NO~+,同时CH_4在Br?nsted酸位上吸附活化成—C=O和—COO等活性物种,生成的NO~+在Co2+和Fe~(3+)等催化活性位上转化成硝酸盐等中间产物,中间产物硝酸盐与活化物种(—C=O和—COO)反应生成N_2和CO_2.

在南京仙林地区采集大气PM₁,分析PM₁的磁学参数及其中重金属浓度的季节差异,以PM₁中重金属浓度为输出目标,以气象因子、PM₁浓度和磁学参数作为输入变量,采用支持向量机构建重金属磁学诊断模型.结果显示,PM₁的年均浓度为26.31μg·m^-3,PM₁和其中绝大部分重金属如：As、Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn等的平均浓度在冬季最高,其次为春季,夏季和秋季较低.PM₁中磁性矿物以亚铁磁性矿物为主,低频磁化率在冬季最高,春季最低,饱和等温剩磁和硬剩磁在夏季最高,秋季最低.主成分分析表明,PM₁中重金属与磁性矿物之间的来源具有一定差异,且同时受到气象因素的影响.当模型输入变量加入了磁学参数时,支持向量机对每个重金属模拟的训练和验证相关系数R值均有所提高,且均>0.8.其中,对As、Pb、Zn的模拟训练和验证R值均>0.85,同时误差也较低.大气颗粒物磁学特征可用于对其中重金属浓度进行模拟,不...     

Combining payment for crop damages and reward for productivity to address wildlife conflict

Conflict caused by wild herbivores damaging crops is an almost universal problem in conservation. We designed and implemented a game-theory-based system for supporting farmers whose crops were being heavily damaged by wild herbivores. In this community-operated system, farmers self-report their production, which is endorsed by neighboring farmers. The average deficit in production is compensated for by a payment that is directly proportional to the average deficit in production of the group and to the individual farmer's productivity. As a result, farmers are compensated for the average damage (support) and rewarded for individual productivity (reward) (i.e., support cum reward [SuR]). The design of the game is such that only honest reporting gives maximum returns. Farmers who underreport receive less payment because the SuR amount is proportionate to their self-reported productivity. The endorsing farmers, in their own self-interest, prevent overreporting. The system involves multiple game situations, the combined result of which is a stable strategy based on honesty and hard work. In 2 villages along the western boundary of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in central India, we tested the system with 75 farmers over 6 crop seasons. After a few initial attempts to cheat, honesty prevailed throughout the group. Average crop productivity increased 2.5-fold, in spite of damage, owing to increased effort by farmers. Apart from wildlife conflict resolution, the model offers a promising alternative to crop insurance and a potential behavioral green revolution in agriculture.

深基坑桩锚支护体系的受力变形研究及优化设计

桩锚支护体系是近年来随着基坑工程的发展而发展起来的一种新型支护结构,因其工程适用性强而被广泛地运用于岩土工程施工中。但是目前有关基坑桩锚支护体系的理论研究往往无法满足现场施工技术的改进,很多以诸多假定为前提的计算模型并不能真实地反映基坑桩锚支护结构与土层之间的关系,以及桩锚支护体系本身的受力和变形特征等。本文以武汉市东湖春树里基坑支护工程项目为例,对该工程深基坑桩锚支护体系的结构受力及变形状况进行了ANSYS有限元数值模拟和分析,同时运用混合遗传算法研究分析了基坑支护相关的参数和约束条件,并对该基坑桩锚支护体系的结构进行了优化设计。
