The purpose is to obtain pyrolysis characteristics and kinetic parameters of medical waste. The experimental results indicate that the pyrolysis behavior of the MTT sample is in agreement with its main ingredient of PVC, appearing two stair stepping stages. The influence of the additives in MTT on pyrolysis behavior was also revealed, which could improve MTT pyrolysis at lower temperature in the first stage, and cause obvious unsmoothness and asymmetry of the second DTG peak. Four n-order kinetic models of Coats-Redfern, Ozawa, Kissinger and Freeman-carroll were used to get the kinetic parameters. Furthermore, a novel ＂two-step four-reaction model＂ was established to simulate the whole continuous process. The different methods and the kinetic parameters thus obtained were discussed and compared with each other in literatures. The reasons of deviation among kinetic values were tried to be elucidated. The new established model could more satisfactorily describe the pyrolysis process of MTT, being more mechanistic and conveniently serving for the engineering.展开更多

Some of these new developments are a direct response to environmental regulation. Sulfur oxides （SOx-SO2＋SO3） emitted from fluid catalytic cracking units （FCCU） are one of the most hazardous atmospheric pollutants, which may cause serious environmental problems such as the formation of acid rain and the destruction of the ozone layer. Thus, great attention has been focused on the SOx removal from FCC in last few years. The present papers will focus on the spinel material studies include three samples they were prepared by acidic method, solid solution MgAl2O4, solid solution with cerium10%Ce/MgAl2O4, iron mixed spinel with cerium 10%Ce/MgAl2-xFeO4.MgO and two samples solid solution with cerium introduce by vanadium as second co-catalyst prepared by basic method, 1% V/10%Ce/MgAl2O4.MgO were tested in TGA for oxidation half cycle to study some parameters effect on performance of SOx additives in TGA under condition similar to those of FCC units. Thermogravimetry analysis experiments have been used to demonstrate the pick-up and release of sulfur oxides in the development of additives for SOx control in the FCCU.展开更多
