The experimental factors in aqueous solutions including persulfate concentration, Fe2+ concentration, pH and ionic strength level were discussed. It is demonstrated that, aniline degradation rate increases with increasing persulfate concentration, but much more ferrous ion inhibits the aniline degradation. When the aniline concentration is 0.10 mmol/L, the maximum aniline degradation occurs at the S2O82- to Fe2+ molar ratio of 250/5 at pH 7.0. In the pH range of 5.0-8.5, increasing pH causes higher aniline degradation. What's more, the increase of ionic strength in solution causes inhibiting in the reaction. Produced intermediates during the oxidation process were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology. And degradation pathways of aniline were also tentatively proposed.展开更多

EL31410 at various temperatures was investigated. In order to study the effect of temperature on elastase fermentation, different cultivation temperatures, ranging from 39 ℃ to 28 ℃, were evaluated in shake flask. The result indicated that 37 ℃ was best for cell growth at earlier stage; while maximum elastase activity was obtained when the cells were cultivated at 30 ℃. This result was verified by batch fermentation in 5-L bio-reactor under 37 ℃ and 30 ℃ temperature, respectively. The specific cell growth rate at 37 ℃ was higher than that at 30 ℃ during earlier stage of cultivation. The maximum value [5.5 U/(h-g DCW)] of elastase formation rate occurred at 24 h at 30 ℃ compared to 4.6 U/(h-g DCW) at 30 h at 37 ℃. Based on these results, two-stage temperature shift strategy and oscillatory temperature cultivation mode were evaluated in the next study. When compared to single temperature of 37 ℃ or 30 ℃, both two-stage temperature shift strategy and oscillatory temperature strategy improved biomass but did not yield the same result as expected for elastase production. The maximum biomass (both 8.6 g/L) was achieved at 30 h at 37 ℃, but at 42 h using two-stage temperature cultivation strategy. The highest elastase production (652 U/ml) was observed at 30 ℃ in batch process. It was concluded that cultivation at constant temperature of 30 ℃ was appropriate for elastase production by Bacillus sp. EL31410.展开更多

Central composite design (CCD) and response surface method-ology were applied to optimize the medium constituents. A central composite design was used to explain the combined effect of three medium constituents, viz, glucose, K2HPO4, MgSO47H2O. The strain produced more elastase in the completely optimized medium, as compared with the partially optimized medium. The fitted model of the second model, as per RSM, showed that glucose was 7.4 g/100 ml, casein 1.13 g/100 ml, corn steep flour 0.616 g/100 ml, K2HPO4 0.206 g/100 ml and MgSO47H2O 0.034 g/100 ml. The fermentation kinetics of these two culture media in the flask experiments were analyzed. It was found that the highest elastase productivity occurred at 54 hours. Higher glucose concentration had inhibitory effect on elastase production. At the same time, we observed that the glucose consumption rate was slow in the completely optimized medium, which can explain the lag period of the highest elastase production. Some metal ions and surfactant additives also affected elastase production and cell growth.展开更多

The effects of Sur- face tension, surfactant concentration, foam/solution height ratio and air flow rate on the separation performance were investigated, and the results showed that good en- richments and recoveries can be achieved for bovine serum albumin operated at el- evated pressures. Especially the size of bubbles generated by the stainless steel sparger was smaller at higher pressures which is favorable to the foam separation process. Furthermore, the separation mechanism of bovine serum albumin operated at elevated pressure was also discussed.展开更多

It has a storage vessel at the top and products leave the column at the bottom. The batch stripper is favourable to separate mixtures with a small amount of light components by removing the heavy components as bottom products. In this paper, we are presenting a shortcut procedure based on our earlier work for design and simulation of the inverted batch distillation column, which is equivalent to the Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland procedure for continuous distillation. Given a separation task, we propose to compute the minimum number of stages(Nbmin) and the minimum reboil ratio(Rbmin) required in a batch stripper,which are the stages and reboil ratio required in a hypothetical inverted batch distillation column operating in total reboil ratio or having an infinite number of stages, respectively. Then, it is shown that the performance of inverted batch columns with a finite number of stages and reboil ratios could be correlated in Gilliland coordinates with the minimum stages Nbmin and the minimum reboil ratio Rbmin.展开更多

The reaction behavior of pyrrole as a simple model compound of nonbasic nitrogen compounds found in petroleum residua was studied in supercritical water with a batch type reactor. The reaction was carried out at temperatures of 698-748 K and at various pressures under an argon atmosphere. The chemical species in the aqueous products were identified by GCMS (gas chromatography mass spectrometry) and quantified using GC-FID (gas chromatography flame ionization detector). The effect of temperature and reaction time on the conversion process of pyrrole is presented. Under supercritical water conditions, pyrrole underwent successful decomposition in water into its derived compounds. The conversion of pyrrole could approach 81.12 wt% at 723 K and 40 MPa within 240 min of reaction time. The decomposition process was accelerated with the existence of water at the same temperature. Ultimate analysis of solid products was also conducted using a CHN analyzer. The process investigated in this study may form the basis for an efficient method of nitrogen compound decomposition in future.展开更多

To facilitate the implementation of NMPC in batch processes, we propose a real-time updated model predictive control method based on state estimation. The method includes two strategies: a multiple model building strategy and a real-time model updated strategy. The multiple model building strategy is to produce a series of sim-plified models to reduce the on-line computational complexity of NMPC. The real-time model updated strategy is to update the simplified models to keep the accuracy of the models describing dynamic process behavior. The me-thod is validated with a typical batch reactor. Simulation studies show that the new method is efficient and robust with respect to model mismatch and changes in process parameters.展开更多

A modified Gompertz kinetic model was applied to estimate the maximum concentration of algae and the growth rate at different conditions. A peak cell productivity of 21.91 mg·L^-1·day^-1 (dry biomass) was determined using commercial nutrient media (F/2, part A and part B) and modified Zarrouk medium at an air flow rate of 3 L·L^-1·min^-1. Using the commercial media at high concentrations yielded high biomass concentrations. The results of the modified Gompertz kinetic model indicated that the highest growth rate was 0.118 g·L^-1·day^-1. This growth rate was determined for S. platensis cultivated using 0.399 mL·L^-1 of the commercial media. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the parameters (temperature, pH, and chitosan dose) that affect the efficiency of the flocculation of S. platensis. An optimum flocculation of 98.7% was determined at a pH, temperature, and chitosan dose of 5.5, 30℃, and 75 mL·L^-1, respectively.展开更多

Laboratory-scale batch reactors were maintained at 10 ℃ and 20 ℃ for 25 days with dairy manure substrate. Five treatments included inoculum (control inoculum; inoculum only [CI]), manure (control manure; substrate only [CM]), and 3I:1S, II:IS, and 1I:3S. E. coli decreased in all treatments, while Enterococci decreased in only a few treatments. Treatment 1 I: 1S achieved highest E. coli decrease at 20 ℃ (3.11 log); CM showed highest E. coli decrease at 10 ℃ (2.33 log). The 1I:3 Streatment showed highest decrease of Enterococci at 20 ℃ (1.82 log), whereas CM had highest, but less substantial, decrease at 10 ℃ (0.49 log). These decreases may be the result of environmental conditions, namely substrate limitation for E. coli, and, increased VFA (volatile fatty acid) levels for Enterococci. Lower I:S showed higher levels of indicator organisms; less stable conditions with more acidic pH, higher VFAs, and lower biogas production. Results suggest II:IS is ideal for starting a digester at 20 ℃, whereas 3I:1S appears optimal for 10 ℃, Overall, I:S influenced chemical parameters and fecal indicators during batch psychrophilic anaerobic digestion of manure.展开更多

The results provided basis for using TIBs in rapid propagation of plantlets via tissue culture.展开更多

The TIB method and the conventional method for the micropropagation of strawberry seedlings were compared in terms of explant propagation coefficient, seedling fresh weight,contents of anthocyanins and chlorophyll, and photosynthetic characteristics. The results showed that an inoculation density of 40 explants/L was suitable for the micropropagation of ’Benihope’ strawberry seedlings in the TIB. The propagation coefficient, fresh weight, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration coefficient, and the contents of total anthocyanins and chlorophyll of seedlings micropropagated in the TIB were significantly higher than those of the seedlings micropropagated by the conventional method. In conclusion, the TIB method was superior to the conventional method in the micropropagation of strawberry seedlings.The negative reciprocity did not occur between anthocyanins and chlorophyll in strawberry seedlings cultured under forced ventilation such as TIB.展开更多

The interaction of cesium(I), Cs(I), with sericite could provide useful data for the study of soil erosion or mass water movement utilizing the natural radioactive Cs. In this study sericite and activated sericite were used to assess their suitability in the attenuation of Cs from the aquatic environment under both batch and column experiments. The surface morphological studies indicated that a disordered and heterogeneous surface structure was exhibited by the activated sericite, whereas the native sericite exhibited a compact and layered structure. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) specific surface area results indicated a significant increase in the surface area due to the activation of sericite. The batch reactor data collected for various parametric studies revealed that an increase in p H(from 2.0 to 8.0) and sorbate concentration(from 10.0 to 100.0 mg L-1) apparently favored the attenuation of Cs(I). The timedependent sorption data revealed that Cs(I) uptake was very rapid, and it achieved its saturation value within just 50 min of contact.The kinetic modeling studies indicated that the uptake of Cs(I) followed a pseudo-second-order rate equation; hence, the attenuation capacity of these solids for Cs(I) was estimated to be 0.858 and 4.353 mg g-1for sericite and activated sericite solids, respectively.The adsorption isotherm modeling data showed a reasonably good applicability of the Freundlich model than the Langmuir model.The effect of background electrolyte concentrations(0.001 to 0.1 mol L-1) of Mg(NO3)2indicated that the presence of this electrolyte could not significantly affect the percent removal of Cs(I) by activated sericite. Furthermore, the fixed-bed column reactor operations were performed to obtain the breakthrough data, which were fitted well to the Thomas non-linear equation. Therefore, the loading capacity of Cs(I) was estimated to be 1.585 mg g-1at the initial influent Cs(I) concentration of 30.0 mg L-1at p H 5.0.展开更多

Transient temporal oscillations were observed in the four catalyzed systems when the reactions were conducted in a stirred batch reactor. The induction time was prolonged by the presence of ferroin, but it was shortened in the Ce(Ⅲ)- and Mn(Ⅱ)-catalyzed systems. On the other hand, the number of peaks was significantly decreased in the presence of ferroin. The development of oscillatory behaviour was found to be more sensitive to the ratio of bromate and 4-aminophenol concentration than to their absolute concentrations. The reaction rates of 4-aminophenol with Ce(IV) and 4-aminophenol with ferritin were measured directly by spectroscopic methods in a sulfuric acid medium.展开更多

文摘The aniline degradation by persulfate activated with ferrous ion (Fe2+ ) was investigated in batch reactor at ambient temperature. The experimental factors in aqueous solutions including persulfate concentration, Fe2+ concentration, pH and ionic strength level were discussed. It is demonstrated that, aniline degradation rate increases with increasing persulfate concentration, but much more ferrous ion inhibits the aniline degradation. When the aniline concentration is 0.10 mmol/L, the maximum aniline degradation occurs at the S2O82- to Fe2+ molar ratio of 250/5 at pH 7.0. In the pH range of 5.0-8.5, increasing pH causes higher aniline degradation. What's more, the increase of ionic strength in solution causes inhibiting in the reaction. Produced intermediates during the oxidation process were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology. And degradation pathways of aniline were also tentatively proposed.
文摘The production of elastase by Bacillus sp. EL31410 at various temperatures was investigated. In order to study the effect of temperature on elastase fermentation, different cultivation temperatures, ranging from 39 ℃ to 28 ℃, were evaluated in shake flask. The result indicated that 37 ℃ was best for cell growth at earlier stage; while maximum elastase activity was obtained when the cells were cultivated at 30 ℃. This result was verified by batch fermentation in 5-L bio-reactor under 37 ℃ and 30 ℃ temperature, respectively. The specific cell growth rate at 37 ℃ was higher than that at 30 ℃ during earlier stage of cultivation. The maximum value [5.5 U/(h-g DCW)] of elastase formation rate occurred at 24 h at 30 ℃ compared to 4.6 U/(h-g DCW) at 30 h at 37 ℃. Based on these results, two-stage temperature shift strategy and oscillatory temperature cultivation mode were evaluated in the next study. When compared to single temperature of 37 ℃ or 30 ℃, both two-stage temperature shift strategy and oscillatory temperature strategy improved biomass but did not yield the same result as expected for elastase production. The maximum biomass (both 8.6 g/L) was achieved at 30 h at 37 ℃, but at 42 h using two-stage temperature cultivation strategy. The highest elastase production (652 U/ml) was observed at 30 ℃ in batch process. It was concluded that cultivation at constant temperature of 30 ℃ was appropriate for elastase production by Bacillus sp. EL31410.
文摘An efficient culture medium producing a bacterial elastase with high yields was developed further following preliminary studies by means of response surface method. Central composite design (CCD) and response surface method-ology were applied to optimize the medium constituents. A central composite design was used to explain the combined effect of three medium constituents, viz, glucose, K2HPO4, MgSO47H2O. The strain produced more elastase in the completely optimized medium, as compared with the partially optimized medium. The fitted model of the second model, as per RSM, showed that glucose was 7.4 g/100 ml, casein 1.13 g/100 ml, corn steep flour 0.616 g/100 ml, K2HPO4 0.206 g/100 ml and MgSO47H2O 0.034 g/100 ml. The fermentation kinetics of these two culture media in the flask experiments were analyzed. It was found that the highest elastase productivity occurred at 54 hours. Higher glucose concentration had inhibitory effect on elastase production. At the same time, we observed that the glucose consumption rate was slow in the completely optimized medium, which can explain the lag period of the highest elastase production. Some metal ions and surfactant additives also affected elastase production and cell growth.
文摘Experiments were conducted to obtain the values of the Sauter bubble size, enrichment and recovery of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a semi-batch col- umn fitted with a stainless steel sparger at elevated pressure. The effects of Sur- face tension, surfactant concentration, foam/solution height ratio and air flow rate on the separation performance were investigated, and the results showed that good en- richments and recoveries can be achieved for bovine serum albumin operated at el- evated pressures. Especially the size of bubbles generated by the stainless steel sparger was smaller at higher pressures which is favorable to the foam separation process. Furthermore, the separation mechanism of bovine serum albumin operated at elevated pressure was also discussed.

In this paper, we are presenting a shortcut procedure based on our earlier work for design and simulation of the inverted batch distillation column, which is equivalent to the Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland procedure for continuous distillation. Given a separation task, we propose to compute the minimum number of stages(Nbmin) and the minimum reboil ratio(Rbmin) required in a batch stripper,which are the stages and reboil ratio required in a hypothetical inverted batch distillation column operating in total reboil ratio or having an infinite number of stages, respectively. Then, it is shown that the performance of inverted batch columns with a finite number of stages and reboil ratios could be correlated in Gilliland coordinates with the minimum stages Nbmin and the minimum reboil ratio Rbmin.

文摘S. platensis (Spirulinaplatensis) algae were grown in batch reactors at 30 ± 1℃ with a continuous illumination of 50 ±2 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 using different growth media and air flow rates. A modified Gompertz kinetic model was applied to estimate the maximum concentration of algae and the growth rate at different conditions. A peak cell productivity of 21.91 mg·L^-1·day^-1 (dry biomass) was determined using commercial nutrient media (F/2, part A and part B) and modified Zarrouk medium at an air flow rate of 3 L·L^-1·min^-1. Using the commercial media at high concentrations yielded high biomass concentrations. The results of the modified Gompertz kinetic model indicated that the highest growth rate was 0.118 g·L^-1·day^-1. This growth rate was determined for S. platensis cultivated using 0.399 mL·L^-1 of the commercial media. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the parameters (temperature, pH, and chitosan dose) that affect the efficiency of the flocculation of S. platensis. An optimum flocculation of 98.7% was determined at a pH, temperature, and chitosan dose of 5.5, 30℃, and 75 mL·L^-1, respectively.

Laboratory-scale batch reactors were maintained at 10 ℃ and 20 ℃ for 25 days with dairy manure substrate. Five treatments included inoculum (control inoculum; inoculum only [CI]), manure (control manure; substrate only [CM]), and 3I:1S, II:IS, and 1I:3S. E. coli decreased in all treatments, while Enterococci decreased in only a few treatments. Treatment 1 I: 1S achieved highest E. coli decrease at 20 ℃ (3.11 log); CM showed highest E. coli decrease at 10 ℃ (2.33 log). The 1I:3 Streatment showed highest decrease of Enterococci at 20 ℃ (1.82 log), whereas CM had highest, but less substantial, decrease at 10 ℃ (0.49 log). These decreases may be the result of environmental conditions, namely substrate limitation for E. coli, and, increased VFA (volatile fatty acid) levels for Enterococci. Lower I:S showed higher levels of indicator organisms; less stable conditions with more acidic pH, higher VFAs, and lower biogas production. Results suggest II:IS is ideal for starting a digester at 20 ℃, whereas 3I:1S appears optimal for 10 ℃, Overall, I:S influenced chemical parameters and fecal indicators during batch psychrophilic anaerobic digestion of manure.

文摘In this study, we employed a temporary immersion bioreactor(TIB)system for the micropropagation of strawberry seedlings. The TIB method and the conventional method for the micropropagation of strawberry seedlings were compared in terms of explant propagation coefficient, seedling fresh weight,contents of anthocyanins and chlorophyll, and photosynthetic characteristics. The results showed that an inoculation density of 40 explants/L was suitable for the micropropagation of ’Benihope’ strawberry seedlings in the TIB. The propagation coefficient, fresh weight, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration coefficient, and the contents of total anthocyanins and chlorophyll of seedlings micropropagated in the TIB were significantly higher than those of the seedlings micropropagated by the conventional method. In conclusion, the TIB method was superior to the conventional method in the micropropagation of strawberry seedlings.The negative reciprocity did not occur between anthocyanins and chlorophyll in strawberry seedlings cultured under forced ventilation such as TIB.
文摘Vibration training is more and more extensively applied to the field of strength training. It, as a beneficial supplement to the traditional strength, is able to improve specific strength or the strength of weak positions, for the purpose of achieving the muscle strength development in an all-round way. In this paper, the anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics foundations for vibration training to increase muscle strength are mainly analyzed, and then the principle of vibration training to increase muscle strength is further expounded, and also the increase of muscle strength is discussed from the aspects such as vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, vibration posture, vibration intermittent time, and vibration mode, so as to clarify the domestic and foreign progress of the study on vibration training.

文摘Sericite is mica-based natural clay that is annealed at 800 ℃ for 4 h, followed by acid activation using 3.0 mol L-1HCl at 100℃. The interaction of cesium(I), Cs(I), with sericite could provide useful data for the study of soil erosion or mass water movement utilizing the natural radioactive Cs. In this study sericite and activated sericite were used to assess their suitability in the attenuation of Cs from the aquatic environment under both batch and column experiments. The surface morphological studies indicated that a disordered and heterogeneous surface structure was exhibited by the activated sericite, whereas the native sericite exhibited a compact and layered structure. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) specific surface area results indicated a significant increase in the surface area due to the activation of sericite. The batch reactor data collected for various parametric studies revealed that an increase in p H(from 2.0 to 8.0) and sorbate concentration(from 10.0 to 100.0 mg L-1) apparently favored the attenuation of Cs(I). The timedependent sorption data revealed that Cs(I) uptake was very rapid, and it achieved its saturation value within just 50 min of contact.The kinetic modeling studies indicated that the uptake of Cs(I) followed a pseudo-second-order rate equation; hence, the attenuation capacity of these solids for Cs(I) was estimated to be 0.858 and 4.353 mg g-1for sericite and activated sericite solids, respectively.The adsorption isotherm modeling data showed a reasonably good applicability of the Freundlich model than the Langmuir model.The effect of background electrolyte concentrations(0.001 to 0.1 mol L-1) of Mg(NO3)2indicated that the presence of this electrolyte could not significantly affect the percent removal of Cs(I) by activated sericite. Furthermore, the fixed-bed column reactor operations were performed to obtain the breakthrough data, which were fitted well to the Thomas non-linear equation. Therefore, the loading capacity of Cs(I) was estimated to be 1.585 mg g-1at the initial influent Cs(I) concentration of 30.0 mg L-1at p H 5.0.

文摘Temporal oscillations of the bromate-4-aminophenol system have been studied in the presence of four different catalysts: tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(Ⅱ) sulfate (ferroin), Ce(Ⅲ), Mn(Ⅱ), and Fe(Ⅱ). Transient temporal oscillations were observed in the four catalyzed systems when the reactions were conducted in a stirred batch reactor. The induction time was prolonged by the presence of ferroin, but it was shortened in the Ce(Ⅲ)- and Mn(Ⅱ)-catalyzed systems. On the other hand, the number of peaks was significantly decreased in the presence of ferroin. The development of oscillatory behaviour was found to be more sensitive to the ratio of bromate and 4-aminophenol concentration than to their absolute concentrations. The reaction rates of 4-aminophenol with Ce(IV) and 4-aminophenol with ferritin were measured directly by spectroscopic methods in a sulfuric acid medium.
