Treatment of Practical Dye Wastewater Using a Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge System Combined with a Sequencing Batch Reactor System

Synthetic dyes are substances that are relatively stable and difficult to degrade in wastewater treatment plants using normal physical,chemical or / and biological treatment. The present work explored the synergistic effect of non-thermal plasma( NTP) and biological wastewater treatment technologies on practical dye wastewater degradation by establishing a double dielectric barrier discharge( DDBD) system combined with a sequencing batch reactor( SBR) system. The biodegradation and degradation efficiency of the DDBD-SBR system was investigated. The investigation results indicated that the DDBD technology was effective in treating the practical dye wastewater as a pre-treatment process. After a 10-min treatment,although the total organic carbon( TOC) removal efficiency was not so significant, the decolouration and the biodegradation were improved greatly. The microbial toxicity test revealed that the sample after degradation became less toxic than the original dye,which demonstrated the treatment had a significant effect on the reduction of toxicity. In addition,the SBR technology remedied the defects of DDBD treatment and improved TOC removal efficiency noticeably. The hybrid DDBD-SBR system made full use of the advantages of the individual technologies and exhibited an efficient capability for practical dye wastewater treatment.

Electron transport in electrically biased inverse parabolic double-barrier structure

A theoretical study of resonant tunneling is carried out for an inverse parabolic double-barrier structure subjected to an external electric field. Tunneling transmission coefficient and density of states are analyzed by using the non-equilibrium Green＇s function approach based on the finite difference method. It is found that the resonant peak of the transmission coefficient, being unity for a symmetrical case, reduces under the applied electric field and depends strongly on the variation of the structure parameters.

Low frequency noise in asymmetric double barrier magnetic tunnel junctions with a top thin MgO layer

Low frequency noise has been investigated at room temperature for asymmetric double barrier magnetic tunnel junctions（DBMTJs）, where the coupling between the top and middle CoFeB layers is antiferromagnetic with a 0.8-nm thin top Mg O barrier of the CoFeB/MgO/CoFe/CoFeB/MgO/CoFe B DBMTJ. At enough large bias, 1/f noise dominates the voltage noise power spectra in the low frequency region, and is conventionally characterized by the Hooge parameter αmag.With increasing external field, the top and bottom ferromagnetic layers are aligned by the field, and then the middle free layer rotates from antiparallel state（antiferromagnetic coupling between top and middle ferromagnetic layers） to parallel state. In this rotation process αmag and magnetoresistance-sensitivity-product show a linear dependence, consistent with the fluctuation dissipation relation. With the magnetic field applied at different angles（θ） to the easy axis of the free layer,the linear dependence persists while the intercept of the linear fit satisfies a cos（θ） dependence, similar to that for the magnetoresistance, suggesting intrinsic relation between magnetic losses and magnetoresistance.

Numerical Methods for Discrete Double Barrier Option Pricing Based on Merton Jump Diffusion Model

As a kind of weak-path dependent options, barrier options are an important kind of exotic options. Because the pricing formula for pricing barrier options with discrete observations cannot avoid computing a high dimensional integral, numerical calculation is time-consuming. In the current studies, some scholars just obtained theoretical derivation, or gave some simulation calculations. Others impose underlying assets on some strong assumptions, for example, a lot of calculations are based on the Black-Scholes model. This thesis considers Merton jump diffusion model as the basic model to derive the pricing formula of discrete double barrier option;numerical calculation method is used to approximate the continuous convolution by calculating discrete convolution. Then we compare the results of theoretical calculation with simulation results by Monte Carlo method, to verify their efficiency and accuracy. By comparing the results of degeneration constant parameter model with the results of previous models we verified the calculation method is correct indirectly. Compared with the Monte Carlo simulation method, the numerical results are stable. Even if we assume the simulation results are accurate, the time consumed by the numerical method to achieve the same accuracy is much less than the Monte Carlo simulation method.

A novel double dielectric barrier discharge reactor with high field emission and secondary electron emission for toluene abatement

Dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)has been extensively investigated in the fields of environment and energy,whereas its practical implementation is still limited due to its unsatisfactory energy efficiency.In order to improve the energy efficiency of DBD,a novel double dielectric barrier discharge(NDDBD)reactor with high field emission and secondary electron emission was developed and compared with traditional DDBD(TDDBD)configuration.Firstly,the discharge characteristics of the two DDBD reactors were analyzed.Compared to TDDBD,the NDDBD reactor exhibited much stronger discharge intensity,higher transferred charge,dissipated power and gas temperature due to the effective utilization of cathode field emission and secondary electron emission.Subsequently,toluene abatement performance of the two reactors was evaluated.The toluene decomposition efficiency and mineralization rate of NDDBD were much higher than that of TDDBD,which were 86.44%-100%versus 28.17%-80.48%and 17.16%-43.42%versus 7.17%-16.44%at 2.17-15.12 W and 1.24-4.90 W respectively.NDDBD also exhibited higher energy yield than TDDBD,whereas the overall energy constant k_(overall)of the two reactors were similar.Finally,plausible toluene decomposition pathway in TDDBD and NDDBD was suggested based on organic intermediates that generated from toluene degradation.The finding of this study is expected to provide reference for the design and optimization of DBD reactor for volatile organic compounds control and other applications.

Double ferromagnetic metal/semiconductor schottky barrier confined quasi-ballistic transport channel as spin polarizer

Spin polarizer is one of the most important devices for the newly developing field of spintronics,which may revolute the popular information techniques.Here we present a phenomenal model for a novel spin polarizer,which utilizes two back to back ferromagnetic metal/semiconductor Schottky barriers to define a semiconductor transport channel whose length is less than the spin decoherence length of the host semiconductor.Along this channel,conducting electrons move diffusively in momentum space while they keep ballistic motion in spin space.Across the channel,electrons suffer a spin dependent tunneling,which establishes spin polarization along the channel.

Modes splitting in graphene-based double-barrier waveguides

The graphene-based double-barrier waveguides induced by electric field have been investigated. The guided modes can only exist in the case of Klein tunneling, and the fundamental mode is absent. The guided modes in the single-barrier waveguide split into symmetric and antisymmetric modes with different incident angles in the double-barrier waveguide. The phase difference between electron states and hole states is also discussed. The phase difference for the two splitting modes is close to each other and increases with the order of guided modes. These phenomena can be helpful for the potential applications in graphene-based optoelectronic devices.

Transport properties through double-magnetic-barrier structures in graphene

We study electrons tunneling through a double-magnetic-barrier structure on the surface of monolayer graphene. The transmission probability and the conductance are calculated by using the transfer matrix method. The results show that the normal incident transmission probability is blocked by the magnetic vector potential and the Klein tunneling region depends strongly on the direction of the incidence electron. The transmission probability and the conductance can be modulated by changing structural parameters of the barrier, such as width and height, offering a possibility to control electron beams on graphene.

Solid-state resonant tunneling thermoelectric refrigeration in the cylindrical double-barrier nanostructure

A solid-state thermoelectric refrigerator with a cylindrical InP/InAs/InP double-barrier heterostructure is proposed. Based on the ballistic electron transport and the asymmetrical transmission, we derive the expressions of the performance parameters of this refrigerator. The cooling rate rather than the coefficient of performance is affected by the area of the inner cylinder. Then through the numerical simulation, a triangular cooling rate region is found with respect to the chemical potential and bias voltage; further, that it is because of the small full width at half maximum of the transmission resonance and the linear relationship between the energy position of resonance and the bias voltage. These tunable results might supply some guide to the cooling in tiny components or devices.

Controlling the collision between two solitons in the condensates by a double-barrier potential

We present an analytical solution of two solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a double-barrier potential by using a multiple-scale method. In the linear case, we find that the stable spots of the soliton formation are at the top of the barrier potential and at the region of barrier potential absence. For weak nonlinearity, it is shown that the height of the barrier potential has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamical properties. Especially, in the case of regarding a double-barrier potential as the output source of the solitons, the collision spots between two dark solitons can be controlled by the height of the barrier potential.

Silica-Based Nanocoating Doped by Layered Double Hydroxides to Enhance the Paperboard Barrier Properties

Paperboard is an environment-friendly multi-layer material widely used for packaging applications. However, for food packaging paperboard lacks essential barrier properties towards oxygen and water vapor. Conventional solutions to enhance these barrier properties (e.g. paperboard film coating with synthetic polymers) require special manufacturing facilities and difficult the end-of-life disposal and recycling of the paperboard. Paperboard coating with silica-based formulations is an eco-friendly alternative hereby disclosed. Silica-nanocoatings were prepared by sol-gel synthesis, with or without the addition of Zn(2)-Al-NO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs), and applied on the surface (ca 2 g/m2) of industrial paperboard samples by a roll-to-roll technique. The physicochemical features of silica-nanocoatings were studied by FTIR-ATR, SEM/EDS, XRD analysis and surface energy measurements. The barrier properties of uncoated and silica-coated paperboard were accessed by water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and oxygen permeability (Jo2) measurements. The best barrier results were obtained for paperboard coated with a mixture of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), with and without the incorporation of LDHs.

Two-Dimensional Simulation of Spatial-Temporal Behaviors About Period Doubling Bifurcation in an Atmospheric-Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge

As a spatially extended dissipated system, atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharges （DBDs） could in principle possess complex nonlinear behaviors. In order to improve the stability and uniformity of atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharges, studies on tem- poral behaviors and radial structure of discharges with strong nonlinear behaviors under different controlling parameters are much desirable. In this paper, a two-dimensional fluid model is devel- oped to simulate the radial discharge structure of period-doubling bifurcation, chaos, and inverse period-doubling bifurcation in an atmospheric-pressure DBD. The results show that the period-2n （n = 1, 2... ） and chaotic discharges exhibit nonuniform discharge structure. In period-2n or chaos, not only the shape of current pulses doesn＇t remains exactly the same from one cycle to an- other, but also the radial structures, such as discharge spatial evolution process and the strongest breakdown region, are different in each neighboring discharge event. Current-voltage characteris- tics of the discharge system are studied for further understanding of the radial structure.

Critical Length of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Based Oscillators

The critical lengths of an oscillator based on double-walled carbon nanotubes(DWCNTs)are studied by energy minimization and molecular dynamics simulation.Van der Waals(vdW)potential energy in DWCNTs is shown to be changed periodically with the lattice matching of the inner and outer tubes by using atomistic models with energy minimization method.If the coincidence length between the inner and outer tubes is long enough,the restoring force cannot drive the DWCNT to slide over the vdW potential barrier to assure the DWCNT acts as an oscillator.The critical coincidence lengths of the oscillators are predicted by a very simple equation and then confirmed with energy minimization method for both the zigzag/zigzag system and the armchair/armchair system.The critical length of the armchair/armchair system is much larger than that of the zigzag/zigzag system.The vdW potential energy fluctuation of the armchair/armchair system is weaker than that of the zigzag/zigzag system.So it is easier to slide over the barrier for the armchair/armchair system.The critical lengths of zigzag/zigzag DWCNTbased oscillator are found increasing along with temperature,by molecular dynamics simulations.

双重预防机制(“双预”)是当前国内危化品领域正在广泛推行的一种风险管控系统,但目前缺乏底层和运行层面的理论架构,更缺乏以根因分析(RCA)结果来指导实施“双预”的方法工具,为此,提出“主-次”屏障理论与事件与原因因素分析(ECF)相结合的可视化主-次屏障(VPSB)模型。ECF作为一种典型的RCA技术,由特定主/次屏障失效模式组成灾害事件的致因路径,为VPSB建模提供可视化框图。应用该模型对英国石油BP公司的Texas爆炸中的典型事故场景进行隐患识别和RCA,获得“双预”相关管理措施的具体失效模式,通过与美国化学品安全委员会(CSB)和英国石油(BP)公司对该事件的调查结果对比,发现CSB和BP公司将人的不安全动作作为直接原因开展深层次的原因分析,将关注点放在了人的管理上,并将根本原因宏观地总结为安全主管失职和操作工违规作业,而VPSB模型则关注的是对重大事故隐患本身和工艺过程的管理,用描述具体的次屏障失效模式来突出管理系统存在的根本性问题,其中,在机械完整性管理上的问题最多,且主要是由于管理措施未被合规执行。这为企业优化“双预”的相关工作内容提供了重点整改方向和可操作性建议。

采用电弧离子镀(AIP)技术在CoCrNiAlY-YSZ-LaMA双陶瓷涂层表面沉积一层Al镀层,利用XRD、SEM和EDS等微尺度分析表征方法,全面解析涂层在大气暴露过程中的高温氧化行为。研究结果表明,未镀铝LaMA层在氧化过程中发生严重体积收缩,导致纵向微裂纹萌生和扩展。这些微裂纹成为氧气向内部扩散的通道,导致涂层呈现持续氧化增重趋势、TGO快速生长和严重的元素扩散,并最终加剧涂层断裂失效。但镀铝涂层样品表现出更好的高温抗氧化性能与结构稳定性,高温氧化过程中,表面Al镀层与氧气发生原位反应生成致密Al2O3屏障层,有效阻止或延迟氧气内部渗透,使TGO缓慢生长,其氧化增重从20h时的8.59mg/cm^(2)略微上升到80h时的9.46mg/cm^(2)。本研究结果为双陶瓷热障涂层的延寿设计与界面热生长应力调控开辟出全新技术途径和理论视野。
