The packing material diameter was examined according to each one, but in general it was varied between 0.1-5.0 mm. The reaction temperature was varied in the range of 700-900 ℃, the reaction time from 10 to 50 min and flow rate of carrier gas from 0 to 60 mL/min. The process parameters listed above （factors） were used to evaluate the syngas production yield （response）. Also, syngas properties such as composition and heat value were evaluated. The experiments were carried out according to a 23 factorial design plus three central points. At last, a technical-economical analysis is carried out to examine the feasibility of syngas production from glycerol pyrolysis considering not only feedstock, catalyst and energy required costs but also conventional procedures used nowadays to produce syngas such as water electrolysis and natural gas catalytic reform.展开更多

Effects of reac- tion conditions, such as temperature, catalyst to oil ratio and weight hourly space velocity, were investigated. Hydrocarbon composition of gasoline was analyzed by gas chromatograph. Experimental results showed that conversion of cycle oil was low on account of its poor crackability performance, and the effect of reaction conditions on gasoline yield was obvi- ous. The paraffin content was very high in gasoline. Based on the experimental yields under different reaction conditions, a model for prediction of gasoline and diesel yields was established by radial basis function neural network （RBFNN）. In the model, the product yield was viewed as function of reaction conditions. Particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithm with global search capability was used to obtain optimal conditions for a highest yield of light oil. The results showed that the yield of gasoline and diesel predicted by RBF neural network agreed well with the experimental values. The optimized reac- tion conditions were obtained at a reaction temperature of around 520 ~C, a catalyst to oil ratio of 7.4 and a space velocity of 8 h~. The predicted total yield of gasoline and diesel reached 42.2% under optimized conditions.展开更多

The immobilization conditions and characterization of the immobilized enzyme were investigated. The immobilization of laccase was successfully realized when 3.0 mL of 1.25 mg/mL of laccase at a pH value of 4.0 reacted with 0.15 g of ceramic-chitosan composite support(CCCS) at 4 ℃ for 24 h. The immobilized enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at pH 3.0. The optimal temperatures for immobilized enzyme were 25 ℃ and 50 ℃. The K_m value of immobilized laccase for ABTS was 66.64 μmol/L at a pH value of 3.0 at 25 ℃. Compared with free laccase, the thermal, operating and storage stability of immobilized laccase was improved after the immobilization.展开更多

Hydrocarbon-degrading microbial communities with high tolerance to and high degrading ability of crude oil were obtained from the soil contaminated with crude oil in the Yellow River Delta. Then, the microbial cells were immobilized in sodium alginate （SA） beads and sodium Mginate-diatomite （SAD） beads. The biodegradation of crude oil in soil by immobilized cells was compared with that by free cells at three inoculation concentrations, 1× 104 colony forming units （cfu） kg-^（-1）（low concentration, L）, 5 × 104 cfu kg^（-1） （medium concentration, M）, and 1× 105 cfu kg^（-1） （high concentration, H）. At 20 d after inoculation, the maximum degradation rate in the immobilized systems reached 29.8% （SAD-M）, significantly higher （P 〈 0.05） than that of the free cells （21.1%）, and the SAD beads showed greater degradation than the SA beads. Moreover, both microbial populations and total microbial activity reached significantly higher level （P 〈 0.05） in the immobilized systems than free cell systems at a same initial inoculation amount. The scanning electronic microscope （SEM） images also confirmed the advantages of the immobilized microstructure of SAD beads. The enhanced degradation and bacterial growth in the SAD beads indicated the high potential of SAD beads as an effective option for bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated soils in the Yellow River Delta.展开更多
