The process is simulated by employing the equilibrium stage model RadFrac and plug flow model Rplug in Aspen Plus. Experiments are also carried out in a lab-scale to evaluate the process. The results show that at the molar ratio of water to methyl acetate about 4.0-5.0 in the feed stream and the volume ratio of distillate to feed MA above a critical value, the side product contains more than 80% (by mass) (MeOH) and less than 2% (by mass) MA, while the bottom contains more than 46% (by mass) acetic acid (HAc) and less than 0.5% (by mass) methanol with almost complete conversion of MA. Compared with the old catalytic distillation process we proposed before, this process can cut down 47.6% energy consumption and a distillation column.展开更多

The effects offormulation parameters and process variables, including primary carbonate size, binder content, impeller speed, and operating temperature, were correlated to the properties ofthe product granules. Design ofexperiment and analysis ofvariance were combined to analyze the experimentaldata, and results showed that larger granule sizes with fewer fine particles can be obtained by employing higher binder contents and larger sodium carbonate sizes. The shear force ofthe impeller can extensively break oversized granules. The binder content exerted a contrasting effect on the flowability ofgranules formed with two kinds ofsodium carbonate, likely because ofdifferences in the liquid saturation ofthe solids. The dissolution rate determined by in-line size analysis showed that high binder contents were beneficialto dissolution performance, and the relationships between Hunter color and tested parameters were evaluated. The results ofthis work can be used as a reliable guidance for process controland optimization in powder detergent manufacturing.展开更多

Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three g roups: Group A (n=6) received no operation; Group B (n=48) received only laminec tomy (sham); and Group C (n=48) received both laminectomy and traumatic injury ( SCI model). The SCI animal models were made by using an modified Allens weight -drop device (50 g.cm) on T_ 12 . Rats were sacrificed at 0.5 ,1,3,6,12,24 hours after injury. The levels of free iron involved in spinal cord segm ents at different time points were measured by bleomycin assay. The malondialdeh yde (MDA) was also measured by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA). Results: After SCI in Group C,the level of free iron showed a significant increase at 0.5 hour compared to Groups B and A,restored to th e control level at 6 h; the level of MDA was increased at 0.5 hour,peaked a t 3 hours,returned to the control level at 12 hours; the concentrations of free iron and lipid peroxidation in injured rats were significantly and positively c orrelated at 0.5 -3 hours. Conclusions: After SCI the levels of free iron are increased qu ickly and might be a major contributor to lipid peroxidation in injured spinal c ord.展开更多
