It is shown that homogeneous activation mechanism could explain this absorption process. The absorption rate coefficients of carbon dioxide into MDEA aqueous solution blended with DEA, PZ or DEA+PZ were compared with each other. The results demonstrated that the different activation effect of DEA, PZ and DEA+PZ on the carbon dioxide absorption comes from the difference in CO2 combination rate, transport of PZ and DEA to MDEA and the regeneration rate of PZ and DEA.展开更多

In addition, changes in the initial concentration of CO2 used in the closed- box model were made by adjusting the CO2 supply system, and a CD-7 multi-function parameter instrument was employed to monitor and record the changes of O2 and CO2 concentration in the closed-box model. Results indicate that the oxygen generation rate of KO2 oxygen plates, the oxygen generation efficiency, and the carbon dioxide absorption rate decrease when there is an increase in the pressure used to mold the oxygen plates, but those values increase when the initial CO2 concentration increases. When the initial concentration of CO2 in the dosed-box model is 3.5% and the forming pressure is 10 kN, the average oxygen generation rate of 15 g KO2 oxygen plate is 11.88 ×10^-3 L/min, the oxygen generation efficiency is 80.3%, and the average CO2 absorption rate is 11.0 × 10^-3 L/min. Compared with the condition where the initial CO2 concentration is 1.5%, the results show that average oxygen genera- tion rate of oxygen plates increases by 88,9%, the oxygen generation efficiency increases by 88.9%, and the CO2 absorption rate increases by 100%.展开更多

Ammonia is often removed by conventional technologies such as pack tower aeration, biological treatment or adsorption as ammonium ion onto zeolites. In many cases, conventional methods are very costly and inefficient, and therefore there is a need for an alternative separation technique for more efficient removal of ammonia from wastewaters. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of combination of ozonation and absorption through membrane processes to remove ammonia from wastewater using NHSW （natural hot spring water） as absorbent. Experimental results show that hollow fiber membrane contactor has potential application for ammonia removal from wastewater. Operating variables such as time and pH of absorbent solution are found to remarkably influence the removal process efficiency.. Based on experimental results ozonation can improve ammonia removal efficiency through hollow fiber membrane contactor.

The main absorption peaks at 491 nm and 562 nm, the weak infrared absorption band with a peak at 650 nm and the strong UV absorption band below 300 nm were observed. The refractive index is discussed by using Fresnel＇s equation. In particular, the Sellmeier equation was determined in the visible region by means on non-conventional method based on the measurement of refraction by using UV-visible spectroscopy. The refractive indices decreased from 3.71 to 1.28 with wavelength in the range 400-800 nm.展开更多

The FGD byproduct in this novel technique is sodium thiosuffate （Na2S2O3 · 5H2O, Hypo） which can be used as chemical raw material. Optimal operating parameters about this technique have been determined. In order to enhance productive efficiency of sodium thiosulfate, EDTA disodium additive is added into absorption solution to prevent oxidation of sodium thiosulfate. Its optimal concentration is 0. 02 wt. %. The pH value of absorption solution is set in the range of 5 ~ 6.5. Experimental results show that SO2removal efficiency averagely reach 98.72 %. The highest productive efficiency of sodium thiosulfate reaches 83.24 %. The sodium thiosulfate formed during FGD can be separated from saturated absorbent by filtration, concentration and crystallization. The filtrate after separating sodium thiosulfate will be reused as SO2 absorbent by replenishing some fresh sodium sulfide.展开更多

Herein, defective CeO2x with hetero- geneous structure was synthesized by high-energy laser melt- ing, where a large amount of oxygen vacancies and Ce3~ could be introduced, leading to improved visible light absorption, narrowed bandgap and room temperature ferromagnetism. Moreover, this laser melted CeO2x exhibits significantly en- hanced low-temperature oxidation behaviors than the coun- terpart prepared by normal hydrogen-reduction. This unique redox performance could be attributed to the intragranular diffusion at the boundaries of assembled nanocrystallites. This method paves a new way for introducing unique multi-func- tions in oxide ceramics.展开更多
