Strength and durability characterization of pelletized coal–biomass household briquettes

Increase in waste sludge disposal is always seen as a problem from the point of production industry. However, it is clear that the reuse and recycle of sewage sludge could be a serious economic input. The most important action should be to determine the sludge characterizations and direct the producers towards appropriate reuse and recycling opportunities. In this study, reuse method was examined to produce coal briquette, which will constitute an example for waste sludge. In order to make use of the waste sludge, five different coal briquette samples were produced by mixing powdered coal and bitumen together with waste sludge, at different ratios. The overall results indicated that the sample named CB3 having 70% powdered coal, 20% waste sludge, and 10% bitumen was found to be the optimum coal briquette among the other samples produced. The proximate analysis of the optimum briquette sample was carried out according to the Turkish standards and regulations and it was found out that the produced briquette coal can have commercial value with a gross calorific value of 30.03 MJ/kg and 7.30% ash content.     

基于复杂网络的园区循环经济系统演化规律研究

对工业园区进行循环化改造,是发展循环经济、实现可持续发展的重要途径,而建立总体性、系统化的评价方法则是衡量循环化改造水平的理论支撑。现有的循环经济评价体系,在评价的系统性角度略显不足。因此,本研究以评价园区循环经济系统的演化水平为根本目标,探索系统演化的一般规律。在方法上,以复杂网络为基础模型,以江苏省某循环经济产业园区盐化工产业集群为研究对象,以集群循环化改造的4个阶段为时间尺度,以产业项目为节点,以项目间的资源、能源再循环关联为边,构建了园区循环经济系统演化的复杂网络模型,并从度分布、介数分布、聚集系数、平均路径长度、网络直径、度度相关和度介相关角度对网络特性进行了分析。结果显示:1伴随系统演化,网络的平均度分布呈现递增趋势,网络平均路径长度由2.02提高到3.58,网络直径由4提高到9,物质和能源再循环水平逐渐充分;2介数分布、度度相关和度介相关分析结果表明,伴随演化,园区循环经济系统复杂网络以优势项目为中心,项目地位存在支配、从属异构性的特征逐渐呈现;3较小的聚集系数、较短的平均路径长度和服从泊松分布的度分布特征表明,园区循环经济系统复杂网络是一个E-R随机网络。基于以上结论,未来在园区循环化改造评价中,可将网络平均度分布、平均路径长度等网络参数和表征异构性的网络结构熵纳入系统性指标中。同时,在新的工业园区开展循环化改造伊始,积极谋划,主动引导园区形成良性产业结构,避免被已有产业结构的短期效应锁定。     

基于灰色模型和模糊神经网络的综合水质预测模型研究

水质状态变化趋势预测研究对水资源管理和维护具有重要的现实意义。提出了一种将灰色模型和模糊神经网络相结合的水质预测模型。首先基于改进的灰色模型预测出水体中各理化因子在未来一段时间内的指标变化,然后采用T-S模糊神经网络对各单因子的预测值进行数据融合,构建水质变化综合趋势预测模型,预测出下一时间段的水质整体状态指标。实验表明,这种方式用来预测湖泊水质变化趋势具有可行性;与BP网络模型相比,基于T-S模糊神经网络系统的模型具有预测精度高、模型系统稳定等优越性。     

磁性纳米γ-Fe2O3/SiO2去除水中亚甲基蓝

以纳米γ-Fe₂O₃为磁性介质制备了磁性纳米γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂,并将其用于水中亚甲基蓝的吸附。表征结果显示：制备的γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂呈不规则核壳结构,平均粒径为38 nm,比表面积为74.35 m²/g,比饱和磁化强度为55 A·m²/kg。实验结果表明：γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂对亚甲基蓝的吸附适宜在中碱性条件下进行,4 h即可达吸附平衡;在初始亚甲基蓝质量浓度为180 mg/L、γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂加入量为2 g/L、初始溶液pH为7.0、吸附温度为298 K的条件下,吸附量最高为25.4 mg/g;共存金属离子会降低吸附效率,而少量的腐殖酸则会促进吸附;吸附过程符合准二级动力学方程,颗粒内扩散不是唯一的控速步骤;等温吸附满足Langmuir模型,该吸附是一个物理吸附过程;用乙醇洗涤的γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂重复使用4次时仍能保持约80%的原吸附量。

Patterns of preference and practice: bridging actors in wildfire response networks in the American Northwest

The roles of bridging actors in emergency response networks can be important to disaster response outcomes. This paper is based on an evaluation of wildfire preparedness and response networks in 21 large‐scale wildfire events in the wildland—urban interface near national forests in the American Northwest. The study investigated how key individuals in responder networks anticipated seeking out specific people in perceived bridging roles prior to the occurrence of wildfires, and then captured who in fact assumed these roles during actual large‐scale events. It examines two plausible, but contradictory, bodies of theory—similarity and dissimilarity—that suggest who people might seek out as bridgers and who they would really go to during a disaster. Roughly one‐half of all pre‐fire nominations were consistent with similarity. Yet, while similarity is a reliable indicator of how people expect to organise, it does not hold up for how they organise during the real incident.     

The social context of childcare practices and child malnutrition in Niger's recent food crisis

In 2004–05, Niger suffered a food crisis during which global attention focused on high levels of acute malnutrition among children. In response, decentralised emergency nutrition programmes were introduced into much of southern Niger. Child malnutrition, however, is a chronic problem and its links with food production and household food security are complex. This qualitative, anthropological study investigates pathways by which children are rendered vulnerable in the context of a nutritional 'emergency'. It focuses on household-level decisions that determine resource allocation and childcare practices in order to explain why practices apparently detrimental to children's health persist. Risk aversion, the need to maintain self-identity and status, and constrained decision making result in a failure to invest extra necessary resources ingrowth-faltering children. Understanding and responding to the social context of child malnutrition will help humanitarian workers to integrate their efforts more effectively with longer-term development programmes aimed at improving livelihood security.     

Recycling and Reusing Heat Energy During the Production of Powdery Phospholipid

The temperature is 56.5℃when acetone gas is rectified during the production of powdery phospholipid. If heat exchanger is added, heat energy that is reclaimed can be used by other heaters. On the basis of exchange hot water （51℃） 4m3 every minute, a factory with the productivity of powdery phospholipid being 10 ton a day can save 533.2 ton standard coal which is equivalent to 746.48 ton common coal. If this technique of saving energy and reducing emission could be widely used in correlative industries of all over the country, economic benefits will be prominent.     

Optimal water quality monitoring network design for river systems

Typical tasks of a river monitoring network design include the selection of the water quality parameters, selection of sampling and measurement methods for these parameters, identification of the locations of sampling stations and determination of the sampling frequencies. These primary design considerations may require a variety of objectives, constraints and solutions. In this study we focus on the optimal river water quality monitoring network design aspect of the overall monitoring program and propose a novel methodology for the analysis of this problem. In the proposed analysis, the locations of sampling sites are determined such that the contaminant detection time is minimized for the river network while achieving maximum reliability for the monitoring system performance. Altamaha river system in the State of Georgia, USA is chosen as an example to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The results show that the proposed model can be effectively used for the optimal design of monitoring networks in river systems.     

Thiolsulfonate functionalized polystyrene resin： Preparation and application in the isolation and identification of electrophilic mutagens

A new approach for isolation and identification of elecrtophilic mutagens from complex matrix was developed.Thiosulfonic anion was immobilized onto polystyrene beads and used as separation media.Potassium polystyryl-thiosulfonate,prepared from polystyryl- sulfonyl chloride and KHS,was observed to selectively react with model electrophilic mutagens such as alkyl halides,α-chloroketones andα-chloroesters to produce polystyryl-thiosulfonic esters.After separation from other nonreactive organic compounds,the beads then reacted with ethanethiol to produce unsymmetrical ethyl disulfides which are easily detected by GC/MS.For one mutagenic compound,only one unsymmetrical disulfide was found to contain its structure part.Thus,the structure of the parent mutagens could be deduced from that of the unsymmetrical disulfides.The degree of functionaiization of the potassium polystyryl-thiosulfonate resin was 1.11 mmol/g.Its reactivity was discussed and its recycling method was reported here.
