Decomposition of NaBH4 with self-regeneration of carbon-supported CoCl2 catalyst

In this study, economically favorable CoCl₂ catalysts at four different amounts were supported on activated carbon (AC) for NaBH₄ dehydrogenation. Supported catalyst could achieve hydrogen release for 2,060 cycles, which is equivalent to 103 days of uninterrupted operation. Slow and continuous hydrogen release was observed in all experiments. Even 1 g of NaBH₄ can carry 1.2 L of hydrogen, and in hydrolysis process, it liberates 2.5 L of hydrogen that indicates the decomposition of water. EDX analysis and reverse burette measurements show that CoCl₂ could be homogeneously distributed on and permanently joined to the support surface. Kinetic investigation of the dehydrogenation reaction fits zero order kinetics, and activation energy was calculated to be 48 kJ/mol.     

不同挂膜方式生物滴滤塔处理含H2S恶臭气体简

采用菌剂挂膜,活性污泥挂膜和自然挂膜3种不同方式形成生物滴滤塔,考察挂膜方式对生物滴滤塔去除H₂S恶臭气体的影响。结果表明,当进气H₂S浓度为5 mg/m³时,菌剂挂膜、活性污泥挂膜、自然挂膜形成的生物滴滤塔出气H₂S浓度分别为15.7~17.4、11.6~14.8和15.0~15.9 μg/m³;塔内压降分别为3~4 mm水柱、6 mm水柱和4~5 mm水柱;喷淋后滤出液中硫酸根的浓度分别为14、22和17 mg/L,硫的转化率分别为45%、60%和50%。当进气H₂S浓度增大至7 mg/m³时,3个塔经过7 d的调整后,均能达到稳定状态,稳定后3个塔中出气H₂S浓度和压降基本没变,喷淋后滤出液中硫酸根浓度依次增大至25、31和30 mg/L左右。采用活性污泥挂膜形成的生物滴滤塔处理H₂S的能力比菌剂挂膜和自然挂膜的高。     

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems using methanolysis of sodium borohydride as a hydrogen source with cobalt catalysts

Constant hydrogen generation via a hydrogen generator is evaluated from the methanolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) using Co/Al₂O₃ and MnO_x/Al₂O₃ catalysts. Chemical borohydrides coupled with catalysts can be used for compact storage and to create efficient generation systems. Thus, we first report the catalytic activity of MnO_x/Al₂O₃, which is synthesized using the simple wet-impregnation method, for the methanolysis reaction. The results indicate that both catalysts can effectively accelerate the methanolysis reaction and provide constant hydrogen generation rates. Thus, we integrate this hydrogen generation system into a proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack (PEMFC) to determine whether it can be used as a portable power supply. As a result, this fuel cell system operates at 40 W for 1 hr using the hydrogen source supplied from the catalytic methanolysis reaction.     

An empirical study on the public perception and acceptance of hydrogen energy in Taiwan

In this study, we extract factors by using factor analysis and then adopt them in a regression analysis to investigate the public perception and acceptance of hydrogen energy in Taiwan. Six reliable factors were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis of 29 5-point Likert-type items. Our regression results show that the public perception of hydrogen energy as a green energy, public belief in domestic hydrogen industries being able to conform to international safety standards, and public perception of the cost advantage of hydrogen gas over petroleum have significantly positive effects on support for the development of hydrogen energy in Taiwan. While people have a high level of concern about the safety of hydrogen and its associated technologies, the unsafe perceptions of hydrogen and its associated technologies have no significant effects on their support. In particular, public belief in domestic hydrogen industries being able to conform to international safety standards is a powerful factor that enhances support for hydrogen energy development.     

Comparison of different pre-treatment methods for enriching hydrogen-producing bacteria from intertidal sludge

Batch tests of cultivations were conducted to analyze influences of pre-treatment methods (heat–shock, acid, and alkaline) on hydrogen production. The hydrogen yields of the pre-treated samples were significantly higher than those without pre-treatment. Heat–shock pre-treatment yielded maximum hydrogen (75.5 ± 4.0 mL/g sucrose_removed), and had the highest sucrose removal efficiency (81.20 ± 1.23%). Heat–shock pre-treatment produced more ethanol and acetate (80.44 ± 0.55% of the total soluble metabolites), which belonged to ethanol-type fermentation. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles showed that pre-treatment methods affected the composition of microbial communities. The results showed that pre-treatment methods play a key role in the hydrogen production process of marine hydrogen-producing microflora.

改性活性炭对石煤提钒废水中低浓度NH3-N和V等的吸附

为研究石煤提钒离交尾水的深度处理技术,利用质量分数为1%、5%和10%的过氧化氢溶液对ZWY15型活性炭进行改性,得到3种改性活性炭即1%AC、5%AC和10%AC;探讨其对该废水中低浓度的NH3-N、V等的吸附效果。实验结果表明:AC或改性AC的加入可使废水的碱度升高,随着吸附时间及吸附剂投加量的增加,升高幅度增大,且不同改性AC对废水碱度提高的幅度不同;相较于未改性活性炭,过氧化氢改性活性炭对V的吸附效果明显提高,去除率最大可提高30%,对NH3-N的去除率提升约11%;当投加量为60 g/L时,10%AC可使废水中V的浓度降低至1.88 mg/L,此时废水中Cr、Cd和Zn的浓度分别降低至0.006、0.010和0.036 mg/L,均低于《钒工业污染物排放标准》(GB26452-2011)所规定的排放限值。     

介孔分子筛SBA负载CuO纳米颗粒去除H2S

采用超声波辅助浸渍法制备了一种新型SBA-15负载CuO纳米颗粒的复合介孔材料(SC),使用氮吸附、XRD、透射电子显微镜、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱、X射线光电子能谱等方法对SC进行了表征。并考察了SC对H2S的去除效果。研究结果表明:SC仍为介孔材料,超声处理会使CuO纳米颗粒更均匀地分散在主体材料孔道内;SC具有六角形长程有序性,说明辅以超声处理的浸渍方法可维持介孔材料的高度有序性;CuO纳米颗粒主要存在于载体孔道内;脱硫反应后的试样(SC-E)仍保留六角形特征,与SC相比介孔有序性降低;当Cu质量分数为3.23%时,SC的H2S穿透吸附量高达278mg/g。
