CeO2-based catalysts offer an exciting potential for advances in hydrogen halide recovery that enables a high efficiency of halogen-based processes for activation of small molecules. This review provides an overview of recently developed ceria-based catalysts in the context of polymer industry(polyvinyl chloride, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates) and activation of light hydrocarbons for natural gas upgrading. In addition, mechanistic insight and the challenges of ceria catalysts are provided, aiding the design of future catalytic materials and applications.展开更多

This research work is experimental study on removal low concentration NOx of flue gas by using solid absorbents. The experiment result shown that denification rate by modified activated carbon is higher than that of modified zeolite and rectorite. Average denitrification rate is 65.47% and maximum denitrification rate is 95.82% for activated carbon; average denitrification rate is respectively as 43.29% and 36.18%, maximum denitrification rate is respectively as 87.51% and 79.47% for modified zeolite and rectorite. Experiment results indicated that NO adsorption process of activated carbon can be described by Freudlich adsorption mode, K=0.143 and n=2.842 and Freudlich adsorption isotherm equation is： q = 0.143MO^0.3519.展开更多

Others have shown that the structure and geometric parameters of the air distributor have a significant influence on the experimentally observed fluidization quality. In this study we used a sintered metal distributor (SMD) in the ADMFB separator and study its effect on the fluidization quality. The results show that for the same open area ratio (OAR), a smaller aper- ture in the SMD will provide improved fluidization quality. If aperture size is held constant bigger open area ratios result in improved fluidization quality. And, the fluidization quality also improves when the pressure drop across the SMD increases. A model relating distributor pressure drop and the geometric parameters of the SMD is also proposed.展开更多

A method for water aeration and the installation used to implement it are described and the associated advantages regarding the reduction in the level of eutrophication are highlighted. The hydraulic installation for improving the quality of water from lakes, basins, reservoirs or slow flowing rivers was designed and tested in our hydraulics laboratory during a research project. It is floatable, environmentally friendly, and energetically autonomous, being powered by photovoltaic panels, which together with rechargeable batteries can assure a continuous operation. This installation could also be used in early stages of wastewater treatment. Experimental results regarding the performance curves of the hydraulic installation are also presented.展开更多
