Characterization and Application of the Makoua Clay in the Chemical and Bacteriological Depollution of Gutter and Well Waters of Brazzaville

In this work, the authors made aquatic filters according to the formulation “clay stabilized at 4% of cement mixed with 4% of kambala sawdust and 10% of white sand” then heated to 1050°C to decontaminate the waters of gutters and wells. The authors carried out geotechnical, geochemical, thermal, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy that analyzed the clay material. Geotechnical analyzes have shown that this material is made up of 22% thin sand, 22% of silt, and 56% of clay with 26 plasticity index. The geochemical analysis showed the presence of trace elements shared out as follows: 3% of alkaline metals, 24% of alkaline earth metals, 46% of transition metals, 10% of metal, 16% of lanthanides, 1% of actinides. The most abundant trace elements are barium (19%), vanadium (12%), chromium (11%) and zinc (9%). The thermal and microscopic analyzes revealed the kaolinitic nature of materials. The chemical depollution studies have shown elimination yields of 50% - 52.38% of sulphates;77.33% - 85.19% of phosphates;34.85% - 88.49% nitrates;91.3 - 100 of sulphides;The removal of bacteriological pollution are 92.8% - 98% of total germs;94% - 97% of total coliform and 95% - 98% of E. coli.

Total Peritoneal Gutter Removal versus Random Peritoneal Biopsy in Cases of Ovarian Cancer

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer among women and the seventh most common cancer overall. Every year, an estimated 200,000 cases and 125,000 deaths related to ovarian cancer are reported around the world. It is most common in high-resource countries, with an incidence rate of 9.3 per 100,000 women. Ovarian cancer is detected at an advanced stage in about 70% of instances, and only 30% of women with such cancers live for more than 5 years. Although only around 20% of ovarian cancers are limited to the ovaries at diagnosis, patients with localized disease have a 5-year survival rate of more than 90%. Peritonectomy is a crucial part of the surgical treatment for ovarian cancer. Visual inspection and palpation are not reliable methods for determining the extent of tumour involvement. The majority of gynecologic oncologists are suspicious about the benefits of a full peritonectomy, concerned about the benefits and hazards. They believe that the tumor’s fundamental biology, not surgical aggressiveness, dictates the tumor’s resectability. The aim of this work was primarily to compare the differences between total peritoneal gutter removal and random peritoneal biopsy in cases of early ovarian cancer. A secondary aim of this work is to show ability of total peritoneal gutter removal in relation to that of random peritoneal biopsy to detect positivity of metastasis in the histopathological specimens. Patients and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 130 patients with early ovarian cancer in El-Shatby hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University. For each patient, we took random and total peritoneal biopsy and compared between them regarding technique, timing, post-operative complications, and histopathological results. Inclusion criteria: all age group, suspected ovarian cancer using IOTA score, absence of nodules in the peritoneal gutter using CT and any case that needs staging laparotomy for ovarian cancer. Exclusion criteria: presence of gross peritoneal disease in the gutter and CT features of advanced ovarian cancer (peritoneal deposits, omental cakes, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenopathy). All cases will be subjected to the followings: history taking, clinical examination, suspicious ovarian mass using IOTA score, tumor markers, CT staging, staging laparotomy and random and total peritoneal biopsies will be collected from the same case and sent to the lab of pathology for histopathological examination and the results will be compred regarding positivity of metastasis. Results: Random peritoneal biopsy showed positive metastasis in 6 (4.6%) cases and free in 124 (95.4%) cases while total peritoneal gutter removal showed positive metastasis in 19 (14.6%) cases and free in 111 (85.4%) with Chi-square test was 7.479 and P value was 0.004 which is statistically significant. 108 (97.3%) cases had negative random peritoneal biopsy and negative total peritoneal gutter removal, 3 (2.7%) cases had positive random peritoneal biopsy and negative total peritoneal gutter removal, 16 (84.2%) cases had positive total peritoneal gutter removal and negative random peritoneal biopsy & 3 (15.8%) cases had positive total peritoneal gutter removal and positive random peritoneal biopsy with Chi-square test 6.311, FEp 0.04 and Kappa test 0.183 (0.012) which is statistically significant with poor strength of agreement. Conclusions: Modified total peritoneal gutter removal is a safe, fast and easy technique compared to random peritoneal biopsy and even to traditional peritonectomy procedure with high detection rates of peritoneal involvement with sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 87.5% and it is recommended to be done as a routine alternative to random peritoneal biopsy and even to traditional total gutter removal in all cases of ovarian malignancies for diagnostic and therapeutic values.

Indispensable gutter layers in thin-film composite membranes for carbon capture

Industrial thin-film composite(TFC)membranes achieve superior gas separation properties from high-performance selective layer materials,while the success of membrane technology relies on high-performance gutter layers to achieve production scalability and low-cost manufacturing.However,the current literature predominantly focuses on the design of polymer architectures to obtain high permeability and selectivity,while the art of fabricating gutter layers is usually safeguarded by industrial manufacturers and appears lackluster to academic researchers.This is the first report aiming to provide a comprehensive and critical review of state-of-the-art gutter layer materials and their design and modification to enable TFC membranes with superior separation performance.We first elucidate the importance of the gutter layer on membrane performance through modeling and experimental results.Then various gutter layer materials used to obtain high-performance composite membranes are critically reviewed,and the strategies to improve their compatibility with the selective layer are highlighted,such as oxygen plasma treatment,polydopamine deposition,and surface grafting.Finally,we present the opportunities of the gutter layer design for practical applications.

南方某高铁主站房屋面虹吸雨水排水系统研究

南方某高铁站作为华南地区核心交通枢纽,承担繁重的客运任务。站房作为高铁站的主体建筑,该建筑面积较大,屋顶设计坡度较小,雨水排放存在一定压力。更为严重的是,在遇到雨水天气时,由于倾斜角度不够大,雨水可能会倒灌而进入室内,引发安全隐患。为解决这一问题,该站房采用了2套独立的虹吸雨水排水系统。本文以主站房屋面虹吸系统设计为基础,深入分析天沟挡水板的设计参数和汇水系统的整体结构;通过在屋面结构最低点处,计算校核管道系统的水力,系统地分析不同节点压力值、水头损失对虹吸系统运行维护的影响。同时,针对排水系统中可能存在的问题,提出可行性建议。以期为其他高铁站的屋面排水系统设计提供理论支撑,推动虹吸雨水排水系统的深入研究,以应对不同环境条件下的雨水排放问题。

地沟油脂肪酸捕收剂对异极矿的浮选机制研究

为了探究天然脂肪酸类捕收剂直接浮选异极矿替代传统硫胺法浮选的可行性,采用尿素包合法分离提纯地沟油中的天然脂肪酸用作异极矿浮选捕收剂,借助异极矿浮选试验确定适宜的分离参数及地沟油脂肪酸捕收剂浮选异极矿的行为规律。通过Zeta电位、FT-IR和XPS等分析检测手段揭示地沟油脂肪酸捕收剂在异极矿表面的作用机理。结果表明,当尿素和混合脂肪酸的质量比为1∶1时,经尿素包合法分离制备的地沟油不饱和脂肪酸捕收剂(DG-N)具有优异的浮选性能。在捕收剂DG-N质量浓度为200 mg/L、矿浆pH值为6~10、搅拌转速为200 r/min、充气量为80 mL/min的条件下,单泡浮选管浮选异极矿的回收率超过95%。Zeta电位和FT-IR分析结果表明,异极矿与捕收剂DG-N作用后表面Zeta电位值显著降低,作用后的FT-IR谱图中出现了明显的捕收剂DG-N特征峰,且异极矿表面Si-O和Zn-O键的红外波数发生了明显偏移,表明捕收剂DG-N在异极矿表面发生了吸附。XPS分析结果表明,吸附前后Zn 2p、O 1s、C 1s和Si 2p元素含量和化学态发生了变化,说明了捕收剂DG-N在异极矿的表面吸附过程涉及化学作用。机理研究表明地沟油捕收剂DG-N与异极矿表面存在强烈的化学作用,克服了静电斥力吸附在异极矿表面,从而使异极矿疏水上浮。研究结果可为地沟油制备浮选捕收剂和脂肪酸直接浮选异极矿提供有益的理论依据。

溃堤洪水在有压雨水管网街区演进的试验研究

溃堤洪水在有压雨水管网街区的演进过程十分复杂,城市街区建筑物及雨水管网改变了洪水的演进规律,影响了街区排涝的水力特性。本文基于典型城市街区建立了包括房屋、人行道及雨水管网在内的概化水槽模型,测量了不同溃堤洪水在典型城市街区演进过程中的街区水深、雨水管网流量及压强,探究了不同蓄水高度、前池进口流量对街区水位波动变化及有压雨水管网下泄流量的影响。溃堤洪水在水槽侧壁、房屋的作用下形成了大面积的水跃,并且在房屋建筑物附近出现了薄层状水片,水跃区域伴随着洪水演进过程先是在人行道处发生横向的迁移合并,再是在街区道路的纵向方向上逐渐耗散直至消失,街区水位在100 s后基本稳定,从上游至下游呈“先增大、再减小”的变化趋势。溃堤洪水在街区演进过程中,不同蓄水高度对有压雨水管网的泄流量影响相较于不同前池进口流量更加显著,街区上游雨水口的峰值流量在最大蓄水高度条件约为最大前池进口流量的1.5倍。研究结合街区水位及有压雨水管网压强采用欧拉数对短管淹没出流公式的泄流系数进行了率定,修正后的理论计算值的误差由32%降低至2%,能够较好地反映出街区雨水口的泄流能力。研究成果不仅能为数学模型提供翔实的验证资料,还可为城市洪涝治理提供理论指导。

基于明沟集水井的肥槽降排水改进措施

随着建筑地下结构开挖深度越来越大,肥槽积水导致的问题愈发明显。为了将肥槽积水有效外排,首先介绍基于明沟集水井进行肥槽降排水的原理,然后指出该方法在当前应用中存在的缺陷,即难以将坑底的积水排尽。剩余积水将引发防水施工困难、外墙脚手架底部锈蚀和坑底垃圾清理困难的问题。最后,提出了两点改进措施:一是将肥槽底板做成斜坡,以保证剩余积水流入明沟;二是制作混凝土三棱柱预制块,以保证斜坡上的脚手架的稳定性。结果表明,改进措施不仅可以很好地解决肥槽坑底积水排不尽的问题,而且具有不增加施工成本的优点。
