LV Jing, FU Meng, QIN Na, DONG Bin

Frontiers in Energy 2008, Volume 2, Issue 3,   Pages 339-343 doi: 10.1007/s11708-008-0045-y

Abstract: The heat transfer characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide in a horizontal tube with water in the vertical cross flow form were experimentally investigated. The results indicate that the changes of inlet pressure, mass flow rate, and cooling water flow rate have major effects on heat transfer performance. The variations of Reynolds number and Prandtl number were obtained in counter flow and vertical cross flow. The four conventional correlations for convection heat transfer of supercritical carbon dioxide were verified by the experimental data in this study and the correlation agree with this experimental condition was determined.

Yixin Zhang, Lu Zhou, Liqing Chen, Yang Guo, Fanhui Guo, Jianjun Wu, Baiqian Dai

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 518-527 doi: 10.1007/s11705-020-1926-9

Abstract: The coal fly ash produced by gasification is estimated to be over 80 million ton per year in China by 2021. It has mainly been disposed as solid waste by landfill. There is lack of study focused on its utilization. In this paper, the coal fly ash produced by gasification was at first analyzed and then applied to synthesize zeolite as an adsorbent. The effects of synthesis conditions on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of zeolite were investigated. The results from X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope indicated that the crystallinity of the synthesized zeolite is the most important factor to affect the CEC. When the synthesized zeolite with the highest CEC (275.5 meq/100 g) was used for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) was found to be 17.924 mg/g. The effects of pH, contact time and initial concentration on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were also investigated. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms can be well described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively.

Performance and synergistic effect of phenolic and thio antioxidants in ABS graft copolymers

Gongsheng LI, Xuhong GUO, Wang NA, Diancheng HAO, Mingyao ZHANG, Huixuan ZHANG, Jun XU

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2011, Volume 5, Issue 1,   Pages 26-34 doi: 10.1007/s11705-010-0531-8

Abstract: The synergistic effect of phenolic and thio antioxidants on the stabilization of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) graft copolymers has been studied. Three commercial antioxidants Irganox245, Irganox1076 and dilauryl thiodipropionate (DLTP) were selected. Formulations based on hindered phenols and secondary antioxidant DLTP were prepared. Stabilization was monitored in terms of changes in the functional groups (oxidation products), tensile properties and yellowness index. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) were also used to assess the stability. The results indicated that the combination of Irganox245 and DLTP showed much better stabilization effect than the individual components due to the strong synergistic effect. Only weak synergism could be observed in the formulation that contained Irganox1076 and DLTP. Irganox1076 and Irgnox1076/DLTP exhibited similar behaviors between antioxidants with the highest and lowest efficiencies.

Modified landfill gas generation rate model of first-order kinetics and two-stage reaction

Jiajun CHEN , Hao WANG , Na ZHANG ,

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2009, Volume 3, Issue 3,   Pages 313-319 doi: 10.1007/s11783-009-0025-4

Abstract: This investigation was carried out to establish a new domestic landfill gas (LFG) generation rate model that takes into account the impact of leachate recirculation. The first-order kinetics and two-stage reaction (FKTSR) model of the LFG generation rate includes mechanisms of the nutrient balance for biochemical reaction in two main stages. In this study, the FKTSR model was modified by the introduction of the outflow function and the organic acid conversion coefficient in order to represent the in-situ condition of nutrient loss through leachate. Laboratory experiments were carried out to simulate the impact of leachate recirculation and verify the modified FKTSR model. The model calibration was then calculated by using the experimental data. The results suggested that the new model was in line with the experimental data. The main parameters of the modified FKTSR model, including the LFG production potential (), the reaction rate constant in the first stage (), and the reaction rate constant in the second stage () of 64.746 L, 0.202 d, and 0.338 d, respectively, were comparable to the old ones of 42.069 L, 0.231 d, and 0.231 d. The new model is better able to explain the mechanisms involved in LFG generation.

Promoting effect of Zr on the catalytic combustion of methane over Pd/γ-Al

Hongbo NA,Tianle ZHU,Zhiming LIU,Yifei SUN

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2014, Volume 8, Issue 5,   Pages 659-665 doi: 10.1007/s11783-013-0613-1

Abstract: The effect of Zr on the catalytic performance of Pd/γ-Al O for the methane combustion was investigated. The results show that the addition of Zr can improve the activity and stability of Pd/γ-Al O catalyst, which, based on the catalyst characterization (N adsorption, XRD, CO-Chemisorption, XPS, CH -TPR and O -TPO), is ascribed to the interaction between Pd and Zr. The active phase of methane combustion over supported palladium catalyst is the Pd /Pd mixture. Zr addition inhibits Pd aggregation and enhances the redox properties of active phase Pd / Pd . H reduction could effectively reduce the oxidation degree of Pd species and regenerate the active sites (Pd / Pd ).

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 4,   Pages 569-574 doi: 10.1007/s11783-011-0335-1

Abstract: A sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) with three dimensional floating biocathode (FBC) was developed for the electricity generation and biodegradation of sediment organic matter in order to avoid negative effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion in aqueous environments on cathode performance and search cost-effective cathode materials. The biocathode was made from graphite granules with microbial attachment to replace platinum (Pt)-coated carbon paper cathode in a laboratory-scale SMFC (3 L in volume) filled with river sediment (organic content 49±4 g·kg dry weight). After start-up of 10 days, the maximum power density of 1.00W·m (based on anode volume) was achieved. The biocathode was better than carbon paper cathode catalyzed by Pt. The attached biofilm on cathode enhanced power generation significantly. The FBC enhanced SMFC performance further in the presence aeration. The SMFC was continuously operated for an over 120-day period. Power generation peaked within 24 days, declined gradually and stabilized at a level of 1/6 peak power output. At the end, the sediment organic matter content near the anode was removed by 29% and the total electricity generated was equal to 0.251 g of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removed.

Frontiers of Engineering Management   Pages 582-594 doi: 10.1007/s42524-021-0151-7

Abstract: Safety is one of the most critical themes in any large-scale railway construction project. Recognizing the importance of safety in railway engineering, practitioners and researchers have proposed various standards and procedures to ensure safety in construction activities. In this study, we first review four critical research areas of risk warning technologies and emergency response mechanisms in railway construction, namely, (i) risk identification methods of large-scale railway construction projects, (ii) risk management of large-scale railway construction, (iii) emergency response planning and management, and (iv) emergency response and rescue mechanisms. After reviewing the existing studies, we present four corresponding research areas and recommendations on the Sichuan–Tibet Railway construction. This study aims to inject new significant theoretical elements into the decision-making process and construction of this railway project in China.

Abatement of mixed volatile organic compounds in a catalytic hybrid surface/packed-bed discharge plasma reactor

Lianjie Guo, Nan Jiang, Jie Li, Kefeng Shang, Na Lu, Yan Wu

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2018, Volume 12, Issue 2, doi: 10.1007/s11783-018-1017-z

Abstract: In this study, post plasma-catalysis degradation of mixed volatile organic compounds (benzene, toluene, and xylene) has been performed in a hybrid surface/packed-bed discharge plasma reactor with Ag-Ce/ g-Al O catalyst at room temperature. The effect of relative air humidity on mixed VOCs degradation has also been investigated in both plasma-only and PPC systems. In comparison to the plasma-only system, a significant improvement can be observed in the degradation performance of mixed VOCs in PPC system with Ag-Ce/ g-Al O catalyst. In PPC system, 68% benzene, 89% toluene, and 94% xylene were degraded at 800 J·L , respectively, which were 25%, 11%, and 9% higher than those in plasma-only system. This result can be attributed to the high catalytic activity of Ag-Ce/ g-Al O catalyst to effectively decompose O and lead to generating more reactive species which are capable of destructing the VOCs molecules completely. Moreover, the presence of Ag-Ce/ g-Al O catalyst in plasma significantly decreased the emission of discharge byproducts (NO and O ) and promoted the mineralization of mixed VOCs towards CO . Adding a small amount of water vapor into PPC system enhanced the degradation efficiencies of mixed VOCs, however, further increasing water vapor had a negative impact on the degradation efficiencies, which was primarily attributed to the quenching of energetic electrons by water vapor in plasma and the competitive adsorption of water vapor on the catalyst surface. Meanwhile, the catalysts before and after discharge were characterized by the Brunauer-Emment-Teller and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Removal of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) by sepiolite-supported nanoscale zerovalent iron

Rongbing FU,Na MU,Xiaopin GUO,Zhen XU,Dongsu BI

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2015, Volume 9, Issue 5,   Pages 867-878 doi: 10.1007/s11783-015-0800-3

Abstract: Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) synthesized using sepiolite as a supporter was used to investigate the removal kinetics and mechanisms of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209). BDE-209 was rapidly removed by the prepared sepiolite-supported nZVI with a reaction rate that was 5 times greater than that of the conventionally prepared nZVI because of its high surface area and reactivity. The degradation of BDE-209 occurred in a stepwise debromination manner, which followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The removal efficiency of BDE-209 increased with increasing dosage of sepiolite-supported nZVI particles and decreasing pH, and the efficiency decreased with increasing initial BDE-209 concentrations. The presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a cosolvent at certain volume fractions in water influenced the degradation rate of sepiolite-supported nZVI. Debromination pathways of BDE-209 with sepiolite-supported nZVI were proposed based on the identified reaction intermediates, which ranged from nona- to mono-brominated diphenylethers (BDEs) under acidic conditions and nona- to penta-BDEs under alkaline conditions. Adsorption on sepiolite-supported nZVI particles also played a role in the removal of BDE-209. Our findings indicate that the particles have potential applications in removing environmental pollutants, such as halogenated organic contaminants.

Reprogramming of the pig primordial germ cells into pluripotent stem cells: a brief review

Qijing LEI, Qin PAN, Shuai YU, Na LI, Shulin CHEN, Kuldip SIDHU, Jinlian HUA

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2019, Volume 6, Issue 1,   Pages 28-32 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2018222

Abstract:

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are regarded as unipotent cells that can produce only either spermatogonia or oocytes. However, PGCs can be converted into the pluripotent state by first dedifferentiation to embryonic germ cells and then by reprogramming to induce them to become pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These two stages can be completely implemented with mouse cells. However, authentic porcine iPSCs have not been established. Here, we discuss recent advances in the stem cell field for obtaining iPSCs from PGCs. This knowledge will provide some clues which will contribute to the regulation of reprogramming to pluripotency in farm species.

Ruixia SHEN,Chunyan TIAN,Zhidan LIU,Yuanhui ZHANG,Baoming LI,Haifeng LU,Na DUAN

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2015, Volume 2, Issue 3,   Pages 266-275 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2015064

Abstract: Algal blooms have become a worldwide environmental concern due to water eutrophication. Dianchi Lake in Yunnan Province, China is suffering from severe eutrophication and is listed in the Three Important Lakes Restoration Act of China. Hydrothermal liquefaction allows a promising and direct conversion of algal biomass into biocrude oil. In this study, algal samples were collected from Dianchi Lake after a separation procedure including dissolved air flotation with polyaluminum chloride and centrifugation during four months, April, June, August and October. The algal biochemical components varied over the period; lipids from 0.7% to 2.1% ash-free dry weight (afdw), protein from 20.9% to 33.4% afdw and ash from 36.6% to 45.2% dry weight. The algae in June had the highest lipid and protein concentrations, leading to a maximum biocrude oil yield of 24.3% afdw. Biodiversity analysis using pyrosequencing revealed different distributions of microbial communities, specifically in April (89.0%), June (63.7%) and August (84.0%), and in April (2.2%), June (12.0%) and August (1.0%). This study demonstrated remarkable temporal changes in the biochemical composition and biodiversity of algae harvested from Dianchi Lake and changes in biocrude oil production potential.

Kaifeng RAO, Na LI, Mei MA, Zijian WANG

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2014, Volume 8, Issue 1,   Pages 69-78 doi: 10.1007/s11783-013-0502-7

Abstract: Effluents from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) have been reported to have a broad spectrum of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). The majority of studies have focused on the occurrence of estrogenic activity, while ignoring nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) pathways. In the present study, a battery of in vitro yeast bioassays and a cell bioassay, including antagonistic and agonistic effects on estrogen receptor (ER), androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor (PR), estrogen-related receptor (ERR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), were conducted to evaluate the removal efficiencies of EDCs by different treatment processes of a WWTP located in Beijing. Estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, anti- androgenic, anti-progesteronic, anti-ERR and the activation of AHR activities were detected in samples from all treatment processes and the receiving water. The concentration of estrogenic contaminants with estradiol (E ) equivalent concentrations ranged from 0.82 × 10 to 3.54 × 10 g E -EQ·L . The concentration of anti-estrogenic contaminants with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) equivalent concentrations ranged from 1.24 × 10 to 2.36 × 10 g 4-OHT-EQ·L . The concentration of anti-androgenic contaminants ranged from 2.21 × 10 to 3.52 × 10 g flutamide-EQ·L . The concentration of anti-progesteronic contaminants ranged from 3.15 × 10 to 2.71 × 10 g RU486-EQ·L . The concentration of anti-ERR contaminants ranged from 7.09 × 10 to 6.50 × 10 g 4-OHT-EQ·L . The concentration of AHR activators ranged from 1.7 × 10 to 3.4 × 10 g TCDD-EQ·L . These processes including secondary clarifier, coagulation, as well as coal and sand filtration could eliminated 67.2% of estrogenic contaminants, 47.0% of anti-estrogenic contaminants, 98.3% of anti-androgenic contaminants, 88.4% of anti-progesteronic contaminants, 65.4% of anti-ERR contaminants and 46.9% of AHR activators. WWTP effluents contain multiple receptor disruptors may have very complex adverse effects on exposed organisms.
