An Investigation of Thermal Decomposition Behavior of Hazelnut Shells

Turkey has a drastic potential in terms of biomass energy and it would be of utmost importance for our energy mix if this huge amount of energy is to be utilized. Thermochemical conversion is the most dominant one among the energy conversion processes. The carbonization process is the key point in determining the kinetic parameters of the fuels utilized. Thereafter, the kinetic parameters obtained from carbonization would be utilized in designing the thermochemical conversion equipments. In this study, the thermal decomposition behavior of hazelnut shells was investigated via dynamical thermogravimetry (TG) under N₂ atmosphere. In order to determine the effects of heating rate and gas flow rate, the experiments were performed in four different heating rates of 5, 20, 50, and 100 K/min and two different nitrogen flow rates of 50 and 100 cm³/min. As the heating rate was increased, peak temperature was increased, maximum temperature shifted to the right (higher T zones) and the maximum rate of weight loss was increased. In addition, lignin decomposition temperature interval was decreased whereas; cellulose decomposition temperature interval was increased. Increasing the heating rate from 5 to 20 K/min, hemicellulose decomposition temperature interval was increased. Total weight loss was slightly increased by the increase of gas flow rate. Kinetic parameters were calculated according to Coats Redfern method. It was found that activation energies of thermal decomposition reactions of hazelnut shell varied between 1.30 and 32.19 kJ/mol.     

麻疯树种子油生命周期的经济、环境与能量效率

要成为化石能源的有效替代品，生物燃料必须能提供净能量收益，能产生环境效益，具有经济效率，且在大量生产的情况下不引起粮食危机。麻疯树作为第二代生物柴油的重要原料作物，在国内得到大力推广，但实际效率尚不清楚。基于将麻疯树种子油与化石柴油直接混合使用的技术选择，利用生命周期评估法分析了麻疯树种子油生命周期的经济、环境和能量效率。结果表明：（1）在当前产量和生产技术水平下，生产和使用麻疯树种子油的财务净现值为负，要促进麻疯树种子油的生产，需要每年为种子生产者提供8817 元/hm2以上的补贴，为榨油厂商提供268 元/L的补贴；（2）生产和使用每升麻疯树种子油可减少约13 kgCO2当量的温室气体排放，固碳价值为补贴生产提供了部分经济依据，但是仅考虑种子油和固碳的价值时，生产和使用麻疯树种子油尚不具有经济可行性；（3）当仅考虑种子油的能量产出时，只有当种子产量达到795 kg/hm2以上才具有能量效率；当把树枝和果壳等所包含的生物质能计算在内时，在较低种子产量的情况下，也具有显著的能量效率。敏感性分析表明，随着麻疯树种子产量的增加，财务净现值趋于下降，但是种子油的成本下降，减排温室气体的贡献和能量效率都增加。最后，基于麻疯树种子油的生命周期分析，提出了提高经济、环境和能量效率的途径。〖

白果壳遗态Fe/C复合材料对水中磷的吸附特征

为研究PBGC-Fe/C-G（白果壳遗态Fe/C复合材料）对水中磷的吸附特征,以PBGC-Fe/C-G为吸附剂,对吸附剂投加量、溶液体系pH、初始磷质量浓度、温度和吸附剂粒径为影响因素进行静态吸附试验分析,并结合SEM、EDS、XRD和FT-IR等手段对吸附前、后材料进行表征,以揭示PBGC-Fe/C-G的吸附除磷机制.结果表明:①当初始磷质量浓度 < 10 mg/L、吸附剂投加量为0.2 g/（50 mL）、溶液为酸性（pH=3）、反应温度为45℃、吸附剂粒径 < 0.149 mm时,吸附效果最佳,吸附量达1.62 mg/g.②准二级动力学模型和Freundlich吸附等温模型能较好地模拟PBGC-Fe/C-G对磷的吸附过程.③热力学结果显示,ΔG < 0、ΔS>0和ΔH>0,说明PBGC-Fe/C-G对磷的吸附过程是自发、熵增的吸热过程.研究显示,PBGC-Fe/C-G吸附除磷主要通过配位作用、静电引力、等电荷离子交换和物理作用4种协同完成,其中Fe活性位与磷酸根离子的配位反应为主要的反应过程.      

温度、酸碱度和盐离子浓度对curcin紫外光谱和荧光光谱的影响

将麻疯树核糖体失活蛋白curcin在不同温度、酸碱度和Na Cl浓度下进行孵育,测定其紫外光谱和荧光光谱的变化,对影响其结构稳定性的因素进行初步探究。研究结果显示,curcin对温度和p H变化相对敏感。当温度上升到70℃后,紫外吸收明显增加,在348nm时新增一个明显的荧光激发峰。极端p H值对curcin结构影响同样较大,特别是当p H值为11时,在348nm处新增荧光激发峰。上述现象表明,温度和酸碱度的改变可能导致curcin中含色氨酸的疏水核心结构出现暴露在外的变性过程。Curcin对上述两个因素的敏感性提示其稳定性还有待提高,才能满足蛋白质药物开发的需求。     

Life improvement programme of producer gas–biodiesel operated dual fuel engines

Biomass fuels have attracted an increase in interest due to the alarming rise in global greenhouse gases and the rapid rise of petroleum prices. Energy security on a sustainable basis can come only with the responsible use of home-sourced resources and not from imported fossil fuels such as coal or crude petroleum products. Partial combustion of biomass in the downdraft gasifier generates producer gas that can be used as the sole fuel or as a supplementary fuel for internal combustion engines. A dual fuel mode of operation, in which producer gas is used as a supplementary inducted fuel along with injected pilot fuels of Honge or Jatropha biodiesels, can be a promising alternative to diesel only usage. Two different carburettors were designed and fabricated to facilitate gas entry at 45° and 90° to the engine cylinder. The engine was experimentally optimised using Honge or Jatropha biodiesels–producer gas combinations with respect to maximum pilot fuel savings in the dual fuel mode operation, optimum air and gas mixing with different tested carburettors. The performance, combustion and emission characteristics of these dual fuel combinations were compared at different load conditions. The results showed that biodiesels of Honge or Jatropha oils–Producer gas combinations with carburettor of 90° gas entry resulted in better performance.

简析近年噪声环境影响评价中出现的错误预测模式

分析了环评中噪声源置于厂房内预测厂区内外噪声的错误模式,指出这些模式只能计算出不反映实际声场分布的同心族圆的等声级线,对环评工作毫无意义.其根本错误在于将壳体组合结构的整体隔声能力当作其各部位的实际隔声能力,而且忽略客观实际环境、甚至无视厂房存在所致.     

Investigation of acetaminophen adsorption with a biosorbent as a purification method of aqueous solution

ABSTRACT

Pharmaceutical compounds are considered emerging environmental pollutants that have a potential harmful impact on environment and human health. In this study, the spiky green horse-chestnut shell was used for the biosorption and removal of acetaminophen from aqueous solution. It was analysed how the parameters, like contact time, pH, mass of biosorbent and temperature, influence the effectiveness of acetaminophen removal from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium was quickly achieved after 10?min (～60%). The amount of acetaminophen adsorption slightly increased with the increase of the mass of biosorbent, and for example for an aqueous solution containing 10?mg/L of acetaminophen adsorption was increased from 62% to 81%. The promising results obtained at pH ranged between 2 and 9, which shows that the adsorption of acetaminophen did not depend on the pH and it may be a consequence of the predominant microporous sorbent and its surface charge. The result is better correlated to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model of type 2 (r ²?=?0.9992) than pseudo-first-order. A sorption mechanism of acetaminophen on biosorbent was also proposed. The sorption of acetaminophen over biosorbent is mainly preceded by hydrophilic interactions between hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in pharmaceutical molecules and hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of biosorbent.
