Energy-efficient modification of reduction-melting for lead recovery from cathode ray tube funnel glass

Lead can be recovered from funnel glass of waste cathode ray tubes via reduction melting. While low-temperature melting is necessary for reduced energy consumption, previously proposed methods required high melting temperatures (1400 °C) for the reduction melting. In this study, the reduction melting of the funnel glass was performed at 900–1000 °C using a lab-scale reactor with varying concentrations of Na₂CO₃ at different melting temperatures and melting times. The optimum Na₂CO₃ dosage and melting temperature for efficient lead recovery was 0.5 g per 1 g of the funnel glass and 1000 °C respectively. By the reduction melting with the mentioned conditions, 92% of the lead in the funnel glass was recovered in 60 min. However, further lead recovery was difficult because the rate of the lead recovery decreased as with the recovery of increasing quantity of the lead from the glass. Thus, the lead remaining in the glass after the reduction melting was extracted with 1 M HCl, and the lead recovery improved to 98%.     

The performance of solar powered desiccant dehumidifier in India: an experimental investigation

The regeneration and adsorption of desiccant wheel for producing the dry air was experimentally investigated. The air needed for regeneration was heated in an evacuated tube solar collector with surface area 4.44 m². The desiccant wheel is regenerated at the temperature in the range of 43.9–72.6°C. The regeneration and adsorption performances are affected by the regeneration temperature, wheel rotation, air flow rate (process and regeneration) and ambient conditions. By comparing the adsorption and regeneration performance at different air flow rate and constant rph, it was found that maximum adsorption and regeneration rates are obtained at air flow rate of 210.789 kg/h. Regeneration temperature directly affects the effectiveness of the desiccant wheel. Maximum desiccant wheel effectiveness of regeneration sector and adsorption sector is obtained at air flow rate of 105.394 kg/h. The regeneration performance of desiccant wheel with evacuated tube solar air collector is suitable for the Indian climate.

Two- and three-dimensional ultrasound in malformations of the medullary canal: report of four cases

A comparison between two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography was made in four fetuses diagnosed with neural tube defect (NTD) in the first half of pregnancy. 3D ultrasonography (orthogonal and multiplanar systems) proved to be an excellent complement to 2D, particularly when using orthogonal planes. When using the 3D multiplanar surface imaging system, excellent images of the malformations can be rapidly obtained. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

水中粪大肠菌群测定方法的比较研究分析——酶底物法与多管发酵法

用酶底物法与多管发酵法分别检测地表水和污水同组样品。应用t-检验：成对双样本均值分析的统计方法比较两种检测手段测定结果的相关性。结果表明,酶底物法与多管发酵法用于水中粪大肠菌群检测,测定结果具有强相关性,但统计学意义上有差异。在置信度95%时此差异能被接受。酶底物法操作简便、快速、结果稳定,满足环境监测技术要求,可用以评价水质微生物污染程度。
