Effects of different pretreatment methods on the enzymatic hydrolysis of oak shell

Sawtooth Oak (Quercus acutissima) shells were used as a renewable and low-cost agricultural residue for bioethanol production for the first time. The efficiency of H₂SO₄, NaOH, steam explosion and the combination of these methods was compared in terms of delignification, saccharification efficiency and yield. The structural features of samples were characterized by SEM, XRD and FTIR. Results show H₂SO₄/steam explosion resulted in the highest hemicellulose reduction (98.5%) and cellulose recovery yield (99.9%). NaOH /steam explosion resulted in the highest delignification level (31.5%). Steam explosion exhibited the highest enzymatic digestibility of 98.8% and total product yield of glucose of 84.8%, an increase of 130.8% and 98.1% than that of untreated oak shell, respectively, which seemed to be the most effective for improving enzymatic saccharification. The results of structural features showed the structure and surface of shells were changed that is in favor of the following enzymatic hydrolysis.     

Application of cupuassu shell as biosorbent for the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solution

The cupuassu shell (Theobroma grandiflorum) which is a food residue was used in its natural form as biosorbent for the removal of C.I. Reactive Red 194 and C.I. Direct Blue 53 dyes from aqueous solutions. This biosorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption curves. The effects of pH, biosorbent dosage and shaking time on biosorption capacities were studied. In acidic pH region (pH 2.0) the biosorption of the dyes were favorable. The contact time required to obtain the equilibrium was 8 and 18 h at 298 K, for Reactive Red 194 and Direct Blue 53, respectively. The Avrami fractionary-order kinetic model provided the best fit to experimental data compared with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and chemisorption kinetic adsorption models. The equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Radke-Prausnitz isotherm models. For both dyes the equilibrium data were best fitted to the Sips isotherm model.

金沙江干热河谷地区不同含油量麻疯树种子的差异性

根据金沙江干热河谷地区麻疯树种子的含油量,将麻疯树种子分为组Ⅰ(26%~30%)、组Ⅱ(30%~34%)、组Ⅲ(34%~38%)、组Ⅳ(38%~42%).该地区种子体积介于1.544~1.680 cm3之间;其中组Ⅱ的种子最大(1.680 cm3),组Ⅳ的种子最小(1.544 cm3).组Ⅱ种子的百粒重同样为最高(69.367 g),组Ⅲ的种子最轻(62.313 g).出仁率从低到高依次为:组Ⅰ(61.752%)<组Ⅲ(63.352%)<组Ⅱ(64.132%)<组Ⅳ(65.192%).百粒种子产油量从组Ⅰ到组Ⅳ逐渐升高(17.731~25.342 g).1H-NMR图谱分析发现,各组种子之间的脂肪酸组成无明显差异,而脂肪酸成分的含量存在显著差异.种子的发芽势、发芽率和发芽指数随含油量的增加而升高,种子的吸胀速率则相反.种子含油量与种子大小的相关性不显著,与种子质量、出仁率、种子产油量、脂肪酸组成、发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数和吸胀速率之间则都有着极显著的相关性.图3表4参30     

壳体厚度对传爆药慢速烤燃响应的研究

针对传爆药在制造、存贮、运输及实战环境中可能会遭受意外的热刺激,本文通过壳体厚度对传爆药慢速烤燃响应特性的影响的实验研究,来检测弹药对意外刺激的敏感程度和发生反应时的剧烈程度,并对实验结果进行了分析。实验以钝化RDX为主装药,以45#钢为壳体,利用自行设计的慢速烤燃试验系统对其进行试验。结果表明：在相同装药条件下,随着壳体厚度的增加,单位时间内传热量减少,体系升温速率减慢,炸药的烤燃时间随之增加,热爆炸延滞期增长;同时,随着壳体厚度的增加传爆药发生慢速烤燃反应的温度升高,热敏感程度降低,热安定性也随之提高。另外,在相同装药条件下,壳体厚度对慢速烤燃响应的剧烈性也有很大得影响。烤燃反应的剧烈程度随着壳体厚度的增大而减小。     

Mercury removal using ground and calcined mussel shell

We determined mercury retention on calcined and ground mussel shell, in presence and absence of phosphate, using batch and stirred flow chamber experiments. In batch experiments the calcined shell exhibited higher Hg adsorption, with good fitting to Freundlich equation （R^2： 0.925-0.978）; the presence of phosphate increased Hg adsorption; mercury desorption was 13% or lower, diminishing up to 2% under the presence of phosphates. In stirred flow chamber experiments calcined shell retained more Hg than ground shells （6300 vs. 4000-5200 μmol/kg）; Hg retention increased an additional 40% on calcined shell and up to an additional 70% on ground shells when phosphates were present; mercury desorption was quite similar in all shell types （20%-34%）, increasing up to 49%-60% in ground shells when phosphates were present. The higher Hg adsorption on calcined shell would be related to its calcite and dolomite concentrations; mercury-phosphate interactions would cause the increase in Hg retention when phosphates are present. Data on Hg desorption suggest that Hg retention was not easily reversible after batch experiments, increasing in the stirred flow chamber due to convective flow. Calcined and ground mussel shells could be recycled removing Hg from water, with the presence of phosphates in solution improving efficacy.     

Stimulated Biodegradation of Crude Oil in Soil Amended with Periwinkle Shells

The potential of periwinkle shell (PS) in enhancing the microbial break down of crude oil spilled in soil were studied. The results revealed that the counts of crude oil degrading bacteria in oil-polluted soil fortified with PS were higher than the counts in unfortified soil. The rates and total extent of crude oil biodegradation in the soil were stimulated by the amendment. About 43.4 percent of crude oil was degraded in unfortified soil after 16 days as compared to 70.1 percent oil biodegradation, which occurred in PS fortified soil during the same period. These values were significantly (P>0.05) different from each other. Amendment of the soil with PS also raised the pH of the soil from acidic to alkaline range. The crude oil degrading microorganisms identified in PS amended soil were of the genus Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Acinetobacter, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Mucor and Rhizopus. Similarly, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Mucor, Aspergillus and Penicillium were identified as crude oil degrading microorganisms in unamended soil. The bacteria formed either stable or unstable emulsions, suggesting that the organisms produce surface-active agents (biosurfactants) during the biodegradation process. The results of this study indicate that PS can be used in reclaiming oil-polluted soil.

天然和热活化蛏子壳粉对污染土壤中Cd赋存形态的影响

为实现对Cd污染农田土壤的安全利用,通过室内培养试验,阐明天然蛏子壳粉、600℃热活化蛏子壳粉和800℃热活化蛏子壳粉在不同添加比例下对外源污染棕壤土中Cd赋存形态随时间变化的影响.结果表明,土壤pH随蛏子壳粉添加量的增加而增加,且不同蛏子壳粉在同一添加比例下随培养时间延长呈平稳下降趋势,但都明显高于对照.在整个培养期间,可交换态Cd呈现先升高后降低的趋势,同时各处理不同程度地提高了碳酸盐结合态、铁锰结合态、有机结合态和残渣态Cd的含量.培养60 d后,各处理组对Cd形态转化的贡献率为800℃热活化蛏子壳粉>600℃热活化蛏子壳粉>天然蛏子壳粉,且三者使土壤中可交换态Cd含量分别降低了52.0%~67.1%、40.7%~45.7%、33.6%~43.6%.由土壤pH与土壤可交换态Cd含量的相关性分析表明,在培养5 d时,二者呈显著负相关关系,其余时期均呈极显著负相关关系.土壤pH是影响重金属离子发生吸附、解吸、络合和共沉淀的重要因素.研究显示,蛏子壳粉对污染土壤中Cd在有效性和形态转化方面起到一定的积极作用,从而为Cd污染土壤的修复利用提供了新的思路.
