Vacuum promotes metabolic shifts and increases biogenic hydrogen production in dark fermentation systems

The successful operation of any type of hydrogen-producing bioreactor depends on the performance of the microorganisms present in the system. Both substrate and partial gas pressures are crucial factors affecting dark fermentation metabolic pathways. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of both factors on hydrogen production using anaerobic granular sludge as inoculum and, secondly, to study the metabolic shifts of an anaerobic community subjected to low partial gas pressures. With this goal in mind, seven different wastewater (four synthetic media, two industrial wastewater, and one domestic effluent) and the effect of applying vacuum on the systems were analyzed. The application of vacuum promoted an increase in the diversity of hydrogenproducing bacteria, such as Clostridium, and promoted the dominance of acetoclastic- over hydrogenotrophic methanogens. The application of different media promoted a wide variety of metabolic pathways. Nevertheless, reduction of the hydrogen partial pressure by application of vacuum lead to further oxidation of reaction intermediates irrespective of the medium used, which resulted in higher hydrogen and methane production, and improved the COD removal. Interestingly, vacuum greatly promoted biogenic hydrogen production from a real wastewater, which opens possibilities for future application of dark fermentation systems to enhance biohydrogen yields.

Comparative study on the efficiency and environmental impact of two methods of utilizing polyvinyl chloride waste based on life cycle assessments

Two processes of utilizing polyvinyl chloride （PVC） waste, an incineration process and a vacuum pyrolysis process, for energy conversion were compared to determine their efficiency and environmental perfor- mance. We carried out a life cycle assessment with each of the two processes to evaluate their environmental impact and defined the goals and limits of our remit. As well, we established an inventory of PVC waste from incineration and vacuum pyrolysis based on process analysis, data collection and calculations. The results show that electrical power output per unit mass of PVC waste in the incineration process was twice as high as that of the vacuum pyrolysis process. Incineration had a larger total environmental impact potential than vacuum pyrolysis. The total environmental impact potential of PVC waste from incineration was three times higher than that from vacuum pyrolysis. Incineration of PVC disposed 300 ng. 100 kgI of dioxins and vacuum pyrolysis 98.19 ng- 100 kgI of dioxins. As well, we analyzed the data for their uncertainty with results quantified in terms of three uncertainties： basic uncertainty, additional uncertainty, and computational uncertainty. The coefficients of variation of the data were less than 25% and the quality of the inventory data was acceptable with low uncertainty. Both PVC waste disposal processes were of similar quality and their results comparable. The results of our life cycle impact assessment （LCIA） showed considerable reliability of our methodology. Overall, the vacuum pyrolysis process has a number advantages and greater potential for development of PVC disposal than the incineration process.     

UV185+254nm辐照下MnOx-TiO2分解甲醛与臭氧的机理

为提高185nm真空紫外光下甲醛与副产物臭氧的分解效率,以MnOx-TiO2复合催化剂取代TiO2光催化剂,发现甲醛与臭氧的转化率分别从44.7%和38.7%提高到77.5%和96.8%.研究比较了真空紫外光下和暗态下(加臭氧)甲醛与臭氧在MnOx-TiO2催化剂上的分解性能,及UV254nm下光催化分解甲醛的效率.结果表明,真空紫外光下气相活性氧物种的氧化与MnOx表面的臭氧催化氧化过程是甲醛分解的主要途径,而MnOx-TiO2上光催化氧化甲醛效率很低;副产物臭氧主要于MnOx表面活性位上由热催化分解.用真空紫外光辐照MnOx-TiO2催化剂,可提高MnOx催化分解臭氧的稳定性.     

SO2在水和有机溶剂中的化学形态及其脂/水分配系数：SO2生理学研究新模式

为了探讨内源性SO2生理作用和毒理作用的化学机制,采用真空减压法、超声波法、通气法、光谱扫描法及摇瓶法等对SO2在水和有机溶剂中的化学形态及其脂/水分配系数进行了研究.研究结果表明:1)气态SO2不仅易溶于水,而且更易溶于有机溶剂;2)SO2在水和有机溶剂中的溶解主要是物理性溶解,其主要以SO2分子状态存在于溶液中,在饱和溶液中90%以上是以自由分子状态存在,在较低浓度下也有50%左右以自由分子状态存在;3)SO2的脂/水分配系数仅为0.16～0.20,使存在于生物膜(脂相)系统的内源性SO2很容易进入水相并转化为亚硫酸盐,这将导致其在组织细胞内的半寿期很短,这符合信号分子的特征.由此结论:1)以SO2生理盐水溶液作为SO2供体,可作为研究内源性SO2生理作用和毒理作用的新模式;2)内源性SO2在组织细胞内的失活途径是:SO2→SO32-/HSO3-→SO42-.此外,论文认为亚硫酸钠和亚硫酸氢钠混合液并不能作为"SO2供体"用以处理生物组织.

气体密度和初压对炸药爆炸压力衰减的影响

为研究气体密度和初压对爆炸压力的影响,以球形装药为例,在LS-DYNA中模拟不同气体密度、环境初压和真空度条件的TNT炸药爆炸,分析空气冲击波的形成过程和衰减规律。研究结果表明：在爆炸初期冲击波的波阵面位于爆炸产物边界,产物压力与冲击波压力存在强耦合作用;随着爆炸产物自身压力下降,其膨胀速度减慢,冲击波开始与爆炸产物分离,当产物中心压力下降为环境初压时,冲击波与爆炸产物彻底分离,其后以空气冲击波的形式独立传播。降低气体密度可以通过抑制冲击波形成,大幅降低爆炸压力;减小环境初压则通过加快冲击波的衰减速度,也可以在一定程度上降低爆炸压力。相较于单独改变密度和压力,提高真空度对冲击波压力的减小效果更好;近真空环境下无法形成空气冲击波,爆炸压力衰减速度快。
