Application of response surface methodology for the optimization of biodiesel production from yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil

In the present study, response surface methodology (RSM) involving central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the reaction parameters of biodiesel production from yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil during the single-step transesterification process. A total of 30 experiments were designed and performed to determine under the effects of variables on the biodiesel yield such as methanol to oil molar ratio (2:1–10:1), catalyst concentration (0.2–1.0 wt.% NaOH), reaction temperature (50–70°C), and reaction time (30–90 min). The second order polynomial model was used to predict the biodiesel yield and coefficient of determination (R²) was found to be at 0.9818. The optimum biodiesel yield was calculated as 96.695% from the model with the following reaction conditions: 7.41:1 of methanol to oil molar ratio, 0.63 wt. % NaOH of catalyst concentration, 61.84°C of reaction temperature, and 62.12 min of reaction time. It is seen that the regression model results were in agreement with the experimental data. The results showed that RSM is a suitable statistical technique for optimizing the reaction parameters in the transesterification process in order to maximize the biodiesel yield.     

环境空气中微生物监测结果的影响因素研究

空气中微生物附着在雾霾颗粒物上,随呼吸进入人体危害健康,是多种疾病的致病因素,故而快速准确的监测出区域空气微生物的数量,对于后续采取防控措施具有积极意义.在国家没有出台相关监测技术标准的情况下,通过设置不同采样时间、培养时间,获取了不同实验条件下的监测结果,分析不同组别数据结果的差异性,得出细菌采样时间3~5 min,培养48h比较合适,霉菌采样时间3 min,培养72h即可的实验结论.这样既保证了采集到绝大部分微生物,同时能够尽快的得到空气中微生物菌落数量,对相关监测方法的进一步研究具有参考价值.     

Transesterification of Caesalpinia eriostachys seed oil using heterogeneous and homogeneous basic catalysts

Caesalpinea eriostachys seed oil, as a source of triglycerides with potential application for biodiesel production in Mexico is introduced. Its lipid profile obtained by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed saturated and unsaturated glycerol esters as the constituents. Therefore, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalyzed transesterification reactions were assayed employing ZnAl hydrotalcites and KOH, as the catalysts, respectively. The transesterification reactions yielded 59% for Zn/Al(2), 79% for Zn/Al(4), and 90% for KOH, depicting typical behavior, as in biodiesel production data from literature, where Zn-Al hydrotalcites or KOH were assayed. The caloric, density, viscosity values, and fatty acid methyl esters profile from reaction products were concordant to EN 14214, suggesting C. eriostachys as a promising feedstock for biodiesel production.     

板式生物滴滤塔高效净化硫化氢废气的研究

采用营养液分层喷淋、pH分别在线控制(pH 2.5、 4.5、 6.5)的板式生物滴滤塔(plate type-biotrickling filter, PTBTF)净化H₂S废气,考察PTBTF于挂膜启动及稳定运行阶段对H₂S的降解性能.结果表明,PTBTF系统在14 d内即完成挂膜,对浓度为188.6mg·m^-3的H₂S去除率达到100%;在进口浓度100～1000mg·m^-3、空床停留时间(EBRT)28～4 s的条件下,H₂S的去除率可达到99%以上;当H₂S去除率≥90%时, PTBTF系统的最大去除负荷随EBRT(3.3～6 s)的增加而增大,EBRT 6 s的最大去除负荷达到1019.0g·(m³·h)^-1;上、中、下3层填料对H₂S的去除负荷随进口H₂S负荷的波动呈显著变化;通过荧光染色观察填料上的细胞数,发现在挂膜阶段微生物数量增长明显,第125 d上层、中层和下层填料上的菌落数(以干填料计)分别达到了1.29×10⁷、 5.47×10⁸和1.07×10⁹个·g^-1;采用扫描电镜观察填料表面的生物膜,可见上填料层和下填料层的优势菌分别为杆菌和丝状菌;利用变性梯度凝胶电泳初步揭示了系统运行过程中生物群落的演替规律;通过对产物的分析,确定该PTBTF系统降解H₂S后主要产生SO^2-₄和单质硫.
