The foaming phenomenon has a strong impact on operation of the process unit. The salt impurities are the main reason for causing the foaming of MDEA solution, so the full analysis of salt impurities is necessary. A method for comprehensive analysis of salt impurities in MDEA solution used in desulfurization process was established. Anions and non-metallic cations of MDEA solution were determined by different conditions of ion chromatograph, respectively. Metallic cations of the solution were detected by atomic absorption spectrophotometer with the N2O-C2H2 flame absorption. The analytical results of salt impurities in the desulfurization solution can provide a theoretical basis for an accurate analysis of the factors affecting the foaming of MDEA to unveil further control measures.展开更多

A process patent for ZnO2 synthesis has been granted in United States of America （US Patent number 8,715,612; May 2014）, South Africa, Bangladesh, and India. The ZnO2 nanomaterial was capped with polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP） to control the particle size. The PVP capped ZnO2 nanomaterial （PVP-ZnO2） before and after adsorption of cyanide was characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractorneter, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrom- etry. The remaining concentration of cyanide after adsorption by PVP-ZnO2 was determined using ion chromatograph. The adsorption of cyanide over PVP-ZnO2 was also studied as a function of pH, adsorbent dose, time and concentration of cyanide. The maximum removal of cyanide was observed in pH range 5.8-7.8 within 15 rain. The adsorption data was fitted to Langmuir and Fruendlich isotherm and it has been observed that data follows both the isotherms and also follows second order kinetics.展开更多
