The semi-coke from the coal industry was suitably modified by treating it with phosphoric acid, with a thermal activation process. The objective of the process optimization is to reduce the chemical oxygen demand （COD） and NH4＋-N in the methyltin mercaptide industrial effluent. The process variables considered for process optimization are the semi-coke dosage, adsorption time and effluent pH. The optimized process conditions are identified to be a semi-coke dosage of 80 g/L, adsorption time of 90 min and a pH value of 8.34. The ANOVA results indicate that the adsorbent dosage and pH are the significant parameters, while the adsorption time is insignificant, possibly owing to the large range of adsorption time chosen. The textural characteristics of modified semi-coke were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption isotherm. The average BET surface area of modified semi-coke is estimated to be 915 mE/g, with the average pore volume of 0.71 cm3/g and a average pore diameter of 3.09 nm, with micropore volume contributing to 52.36%.展开更多

The transport flux and selectivity of Cu(Ⅱ) are determined by optimizing composition and structure of carriers and plasticizers. The results show that the hydrophobic modification of 2-aminomethylpyridine derivatives can boost the selective transport of copper ions in PIMs and membrane stability. In the optimum composition of 30 wt.% PVC, 30 wt.% AME, and 40 wt.% NPOE, the initial flux of Cu(Ⅱ) is 5.8×10^(−6) mol·m^(−2)·s^(−1). The FT-IR and XPS spectra identify that the alkyl amine functional groups of AME involve in the transport of copper chloride species. The SAXS analysis demonstrates that the generated micro-channels in PIMs induced by the hydrophobic modification of 2-aminomethylpyridine derivatives can contribute to the enhanced Cu(Ⅱ) flux.展开更多

Each of them needs different cement contents that might not be suitable for other properties. Typically, high cement content is desirable for durability, but not for shrinkage and cracking issues on the surface. Thus, improving durability with low cement content while complying with other requirements is an ideal aim, which may be achieved by pozzolanic supplementary products. Pozzolans contribute in hydration reactions and optimise cement consumptions in favour of durable and low shrinkage products. In this paper, the mixes of nano-silica and fly ash are considered to investigate their effect on strength, durability and shrinkage of modified CRB （crushed rock base） material. In the end, the benefits and features of nano-silica as a pozzolanic material will be focused and discussed more for effective cement consumption in soils.展开更多
