Research on process modeling and simulation of spent lead paste desulfurization enhanced reactor

In the reaction process of carbonate desulfurization lead paste,the produced PbCO_(3) is easily wrapped in the outer periphery of PbSO_(4) to form a product layer,hindering the mass transfer process.Therefore,it is necessary to break the PbCO_(3) product layer.In this work,the rotor stator-reinforced reactor was selected as the enhanced desulfurization reactor for the purpose of breaking the PbCO_(3) product layer and promoting mass transfer.The breakage process of the PbCO_(3) product layer generated during the PbSO_(4) desulfurization was modeled.Computational fluid dynamics simulation to the rotation conditions was carried out to theoretically analyze the fluid flow characteristics of PbSO_(4) slurry and the wall shear stress affecting the breakage of PbCO_(3) product layer.By optimizing the rotation conditions,the distribution ratio of effective rotor wall shear stress range achieved 96.1%,and the stator wall shear stress range reached 99.15%under a rotation of 2000 r·min^(-1).The research work provides a reference for analysis of the mechanism of product layer breakage in the PbSO_(4) desulfurization process,and gives a clear and intuitive systematic study on the fluid flow characteristics and wall shear stress of the desulfurization reactor.

A cell wall invertase modulates resistance to fusarium crown rot and sharp eyespot in common wheat

Fusarium crown rot(FCR) and sharp eyespot(SE)are serious soil-borne diseases in wheat and its relatives that have been reported to cause wheat yield losses in many areas. In this study, the expression of a cell wall invertase gene, TaCWI-B1,was identified to be associated with FCR resistance through a combination of bulk segregant RNA sequencing and genome resequencing in a recombinant inbred line population. Two biparental populations were developed to further verify TaCWI-B1 association with FCR resistance.Overexpression lines and ethyl methanesulfonate(EMS) mutants revealed TaCWI-B1 positively regulating FCR resistance. Determination of cell wall thickness and components showed that the TaCWI-B1-overexpression lines exhibited considerably increased thickness and pectin and cellulose contents. Furthermore, we found that TaCWI-B1 directly interacted with an alphagalactosidase(TaGAL). EMS mutants showed that TaGAL negatively modulated FCR resistance. The expression of TaGAL is negatively correlated with TaCWI-B1 levels, thus may reduce mannan degradation in the cell wall, consequently leading to thickening of the cell wall. Additionally, TaCWI-B1-overexpression lines and TaGAL mutants showed higher resistance to SE;however, TaCWI-B1 mutants were more susceptible to SE than controls.This study provides insights into a FCR and SE resistance gene to combat soil-borne diseases in common wheat.

Identify the contribution of vehicle non-exhaust emissions:a single particle aerosol mass spectrometer test case at typical road environment

A single particle aerosol mass spectrometer(SPAMS)was used to accurately quantify the contribution of vehicle non-exhaust emissions to particulate matter at typical road environment.The PM_(2.5),black carbon,meteorological parameters and traffic flow were recorded during the test period.The daily trend for traffic flow and speed on TEDA Street showed obvious“M”and“W”characteristics.6.3 million particles were captured via the SPAMS,including 1.3 million particles with positive and negative spectral map information.Heavy Metal,High molecular Organic Carbon,Organic Carbon,Mixed Carbon,Elemental Carbon,Rich Potassium,Levo-rotation Glucose,Rich Na,SiO_(3) and other categories were analyzed.The particle number concentration measured by SPAMS showed a good linear correlation with the mass concentrations of PM_(2.5) and BC,which indicates that the particulate matter captured by the SPAMS reflects the pollution level of fine particulate matter.EC,ECOC,OC,HM and crustal dust components were found to show high values from 7:00–9:00 AM,showing that these chemical components are directly or indirectly related to vehicle emissions.Based on the PMF model,7 major factors are resolved.The relative contributions of each factor were determined:vehicle exhaust emission(44.8%),coal-fired source(14.5%),biomass combustion(12.2%),crustal dust(9.4%),ship emission(9.0%),tires wear(6.6%)and brake pads wear(3.5%).The results show that the contribution of vehicle non-exhaust to particulate matter at roadside environment is approximately 10.1%.Vehicle non-exhaust emissions are the focus of future research in the vehicle pollutant emission control field.

Brake wear-derived particles:Single-particle mass spectral signatures and real-world emissions

Brake wear is an important but unregulated vehicle-related source of atmospheric particulate matter(PM).The single-particle spectral fingerprints of brake wear particles(BWPs)provide essential information for understanding their formation mechanism and atmospheric contributions.Herein,we obtained the single-particle mass spectra of BWPs by combining a brake dynamometer with an online single particle aerosol mass spectrometer and quantified real-world BWP emissions through a tunnel observation in Tianjin,China.The pure BWPs mainly include three distinct types of particles,namely,Bacontaining particles,mineral particles,and carbon-containing particles,accounting for 44.2%,43.4%,and 10.3%of the total BWP number concentration,respectively.The diversified mass spectra indicate complex BWP formation pathways,such as mechanical,phase transition,and chemical processes.Notably,the mass spectra of Ba-containing particles are unique,which allows them to serve as an excellent indicator for estimating ambient BWP concentrations.By evaluating this indicator,we find that approximately 4.0%of the PM in the tunnel could be attributable to brake wear;the real-world fleet-average emission factor of 0.28 mg km
1 veh
1 is consistent with the estimation obtained using the receptor model.The results presented herein can be used to inform assessments of the environmental and health impacts of BWPs to formulate effective emissions control policies.

Impacts of methanol fuel on vehicular emissions:A review

The transport sector is a significant energy consumer and a major contributor to urban air pollution.At present,the substitution of cleaner fuel is one feasible way to deal with the growing energy demand and environmental pollution.Methanol has been recognized as a good alternative to gasoline due to its good combustion performance.In the past decades,many studies have investigated exhaust emissions using methanol-gasoline blends.However,the conclusions derived from different studies vary significantly,and the explanations for the effects of methanol blending on exhaust emissions are also inconsistent.This review summarizes the characteristics of CO,HC,NO_(x),CO_(2),and particulate emissions from methanol-gasoline blended fuels and pure methanol fuel.CO,HC,CO_(2),particle mass(PM),and particle number(PN)emissions decrease when methanol-blended fuel is used in place of gasoline fuel.NO_(x) emission either decreases or increases depending on the test conditions,i.e.,methanol content.Furthermore,this review synthesizes the mechanisms by which methanol-blended fuel influences pollutant emissions.This review provides insight into the pollutant emissions from methanol-blended fuel,which will aid policymakers in making energy strategy decisions that take urban air pollution,climate change,and energy security into account.
