Alternatives to chromium oxide containing refractories have gained interest due to health concerns related to the formation of soluble chromium compounds over long storage periods of refractory wastes. Super-ground reactive alumina can replace chromium oxide in purging plug refractories and this paper discussed the new reactive alumina E-SY 88 in comparison to chromium oxide in a typical purging plug castable. The mixing behaviour, wet castable properties, as well as cured, dried, and fired properties at different temperatures up to 1 600 ℃ were compared. In addition, the hot modulus of rupture, creep behaviour, thermal shock resistance and slag corrosion resistance were tested. The microstructure after slag corrosion was investigated by SEM. The results prove that E-SY 88 is an economically viable technical alternative to chromium oxide in purging plug refractories.展开更多

The computations reveal that, in most cases, the spiral flow can purge the residual water in the inclined pipe indeed while the axial flow may induce back flow of the water, just as predicted in the experiments presented by Horii and Zhao et al. In addition, the effects of various initial conditions on water purging were studied in detail for both the spiral and axial flow cases.展开更多

In this study, it is proposed that the purge gases of methanol production unit, which are approximately15.018 t·h^(-1) in the largest methanol production complexes in the world, can be recycled to the reactor and utilized for increasing the production rate. Purge gas streams contain 63% hydrogen,20% carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide as reactants and 17% nitrogen and methane as inert. The recycling effect of beneficial components on methanol production rate has been investigated in this study. Simulation results show that methanol production enhances by recycling just hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide which is an effective configuration among the others. It is named as Desired Recycle Configuration(DRC) in this study. The optimum fraction of returning purge gas is calculated via one dimensional modeling of process and Response Surface Methodology(RSM) is applied to maximize the methanol flow rate and minimize the carbon dioxide flow rate. Simulation results illustrate that methanol flow rate increases by 0.106% in DRC compared to Conventional Recycle Configuration(CRC) which therefore shows the superiority of applying DRC to CRC.展开更多

In the present study, the sensitivity to photodynamic inactivation of 3 leukemic cell lines was compared with their counterpart normal hematopoietic cells. After mouse leukemic L1210 cells were treated with a preparation of hematoporphyrin derivatives, YHpD, 10 μg/ml for 1 hr. and irradiated with blacklight (peak wavelength 395 nm, light intensity 0.6 mW/cm2) for 5 minutes, the survival rate of clonogenic cells decreased to <10%, while that of bone marrow granulocyte macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) in DBA/2 mice remained at nearly normal level (>80%). Similar results were obtained when human leukemic HL-60 cells were compared with human CFU-GM and mouse leukemic L615 cells with CFU-GM in 615 strain mice. It is suggested that hematoporphyrin photoradiation may be useful for Iselectively killing leukemic cells in bone marrow.展开更多

In this paper, the appropriate purge and trap conditions of PCP are determined: the trapped sorbent is TenaxGC; the purge gas is pure nitrogen and purge flow is 40ml/min; the purge time is 30min. A series of standard PCP water samples 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000ppb are analyzed in order to obtain standard curve, and the linear regressive equation obtained is Y=109.65X-687.72, which correlation coefficient r is 0.9949. The precision of the method is determined with 0.5ppb PCP water sample, and the standard deviation measured is 3%. The detection limit for PCP is 0.2ppb.展开更多
