In this work, the kinetics, isotherms of Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(V[) adsorption and their removal by SPR were investigated. The results show that the removal percentages of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) increase with increasing SPR dosage and temperature and decrease with increasing SPR particle size and the initial concentration of chromium ions. However, the influence of pH value on the Cr(Ⅵ) removal differs from that of the Cr(Ⅲ) removal. The Cr(Ⅵ) removal percentage decreases with increasing pH values, while the Cr(Ⅲ) removal percentage increases with increasing pH value. The adsorption kinetics of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) well fits with pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm can well describe the adsorption phenomena of chromium ions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.567 mg/g for Cr(Ⅵ) and 3.446 mg/g for Cr(Ⅲ). Moreover, SPR reveals higher adsorption capacity for Cr(Ⅲ) than that for Cr(Ⅵ), which implies that SPR has more potential application for Cr(Ⅲ)-containing wastewater treatment than that for Cr(Ⅵ)-containing wastewater treatment.展开更多

Up to 90% of the initial CODcr was removed by wet air oxidation(WAO) at 270℃ with stoichiometric oxygen supply, while at temperature of 200℃, the CODcr removal rate was found to be 80%. Similar results were obtained by Promoted WAO (PWAO) and wet peroxide oxidation(WPO) at a lower temperature of 150℃. Reaction temperature was found to have a significant effect on the oxidation performance for all the methods. Initial solution pH was observed to play a significant role in PWAO and WPO where H2O2 was employed. Comparison of WAO, CWAO(catalytic wet air oxidation), PWAO and WPO shows that the rate of CODcr removal increases in the order: WAO, CWAO, PWAO and WPO.展开更多

A two-liter autoclave batch reactor was used for the experiments. The range of operating temperature examined was between 150 and 290℃, and partial pressure of oxygen ranged from 0.375 to 2.25 MPa standardized at 25℃. Variations in Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD) and Total Organic Carbon(TOC) were monitored during each experiment and used to assess the performance of the process. Experimental results showed that WAO can be an efficient method for the treatment of desizing wastewater. Furthermore, Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation (CWAO) was applied to reduce the reaction temperature and pressure in WAO process. A higher COD removal ratio was achieved under more mild reaction condition with the aid of CWAO. A mathematical model was also proposed to simulate the WAO process of desizing wastewater, in which three distinct kinetics steps were considered to describe the degradation of starch. The model simulations were in well agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

The toxicity metal is dependent on its chemical form and therefore removal of metal is more meaningful than the estimation of its concentrations. In this study, the batch experiments were carried out under 30℃ to study the effect of pH, initial Cr concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time on the removal of Cr (lII). The maximum adsorption efficiency (99%) was observed when 1.5 g of pond mud was used for removal ofCr (Ⅲ) from test solution containing 150 mg·Cr / 100 ml. The optimal pH and contact time recorded during the study were 6 and 10.0, respectively.展开更多

The EtOAc extract was found to be the best antioxidant (IC50 = 0.4408 mg/mL) and tyrosinase inhibitor (IC50 = 1.6340 mg/mL) comparing to vitamin C (1C50 = 0.0011 mg/mL) and kojic acid (IC50 = 0.0244 mg/mL), respectively, and the highest ferulic acid content (4.450 ±0.0077 ppm). This fraction was further column chromatographed and antioxidant activity was archived (IC50 = 0.075 mg/mL) as well as tyrosinase inhibitory effect (IC50 = 0.042 mg/mL) in addition to ferulic acid (45.310 ± 0.0115 ppm). Ferulic acid in paper mulberry was compared. Reflux with H2O gave the highest ferulic acid content (37.848 ± 1.2470 ppm) followed by a mixture of MeOH and H2O (2.002 ± 0.0370 ppm) and MeOH (1.185 ± 0.0320 ppm), respectively. The reflux H2O was partitioned with EtOAc that extracted most of ferulic acid (256.678 ± 0.3760 ppm) and left less in the aqueous layer (9.408 ± 0.2820 ppm).展开更多

In this research, a review of existing grout penetration models in Japan and foreign countries and a trial analysis are conducted with a goal of describing the gout penetration with accuracy on site. Specifically, the applicability of the model developed by Gustafson & Stille to the laboratory penetration tests was studied. The results show that the calculated values from the Gustafson & Stille model agree well with values of laboratory penetration tests.展开更多
