In this paper,using the discrete element method(UDEC),numerical simulation was carried out to investigate deformation features and the failure mechanism of the steep rock slope under mining activities and rainfall. A steep rock slope numerical model was created based on a case study at the Wulong area in Chongqing city,China. Mechanical parameters of the rock mass have been determined by situ measurements and laboratory measurements. A preliminary site monitoring system has been realized,aiming at getting structure movements and stresses of unstablerock masses at the most significant discontinuities. According to the numerical model calibrated based on the monitoring data,four types of operation conditions are designed to reveal the effect of mining excavation and extreme rainfall on the deformation of the steep rock slope.展开更多

The desorption activation energies of the water vapor on virgin and modified silica gels were estimated by using the Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) technique. The interactions between the water and the virgin and modified silica gels were discussed. Results showed that the thermodynamic parameters and desorption activation energy of water vapour on the silica gels increase with decreasing pore size and increasing the surface hydrophilic properties. The desorption activation energy of virgin and modified silica gels was found to increase with increasing the thermodynamic parameters. The larger the adsorption parameters and the desorption activation energy were, the interactions between water and virgin and modified silica gels were.展开更多

In overcoming this problem, the spent AC can be regenerated by means of biological approach. Bioregeneration is the phenomenon in which through the action of microorganisms, the adsorbed pollutants on the surface of the AC will be biodegraded and this enables further adsorption of pollutants to occur with time elapse. This review provides the challenges and perspectives for effective bioregeneration to occur in biological activated carbon(BAC)column. Owing to very few reported works on the bioregeneration rate in BAC column, emphasis is put forward on the recently developed models of bioregeneration kinetic in batch system. All in all, providing potential solutions in increasing the lifespan of AC and the enhancement of bioregeneration rate will definitely overcome the bottlenecks in spent AC bioregeneration.展开更多

The reaction mechanisms of desulfurization and denitrification by microwave irradiation were analyzed based on the measurement of reaction products. Thermodynamic parameters for desulfurization and denitrification by thermal-carbon reduction were predicted according to the principles of thermodynamics. The experimental results indicated that the desulfurization and denitrification reaction processes include three reaction stages: slow reaction zone, transitional zone and rapid reaction zone. In high temperature zone, activation energies for the reduction of SO2 and nitrogen monoxide (NO) are 30.69 and 24.06 kJ mo1-1, respectively. This study shows that microwave can effectively enhance the removal of pollutants through its heating effect and the induced catalysis.展开更多
