The start-up and performance of the reactor was investigated in the Process. of .artificial glucose wastewater treatment. With the wastewater recycle ratio of 2.5 ： 1, the recycled wastewater with biogas could mix sludge and wastewater in the JBILAFB reactor completely. The start-up of the JBILAFB reactor could be completed in less than 70 d through maintenance of hydraulic retention time （HR^I＂） and stepwise increase of feed total organic carbon （TOC） concentration. After the start-up, with the volumetric TOC loadings of 14.3 kg·m ^-3·d^-1, the TOC removal ratio, the effluent pH, and the volatile fatty acids （VFA）/alkalinity of the JBILAFB reactor were more than 80%, close to 7.0 and less than 0.4, respectively. Moreover, CH4 was produced at more than 70% of the theoretical value, The reactor exhibited high stability under the condition of high volumetric TOC loading. Sludge granules in the JBILAFB reactor were developed during the start-up and their sizes were enlarged with the stepwise increase of volumetric TOC loadings from 0.8 kg.m^-3.d ^-1 to 14.3 kg.m^-3.d^-1. Granules, an offwhite color and a similar spherical shape, were mainly comprised of global-like bacteria. These had good methanogenic activity and settleability, which were formed probably through adhesion of the bacteria. Some inorganic metal compounds such as Fe, Ca, Mg, Al, etc. were advantageous to the formation of the granules.展开更多

The influences of process parameters, such as sintering temperature, cell voltage, and electrolysis time, on the electrolysis process were examined to investigate the mechanism of alloy formation. The composition and morphology of the products were analyzed by XRD and SEM, respectively. The electrochemical property of TiMn2 alloy was investigated by cyclic voltammetry measurements. The results show that pure TiMn2 can be prepared by direct electrochemical reduction of mixed TiO2/Mn02 pellets at a voltage of 3.1 V in molten calcium chloride of 900 ℃ for 7 h. The electro-deoxidation proceeds from the reduction of manganese oxides to Mn, which is reduced by Ti02 or CaTiOB to form TiMn2 alloy. The cyclic voltammetry measurements using pow- der microelectTode show that the prepared TiMn2 alloy has good electrochemical hydrogen storage property.展开更多

Zn（HBTC）（4,4＇-bipy）.3DMF was synthesized for the first time using both a solvothermal and microwave method, and subsequently characterized by various physicochemical methods. The structure of M（HBTC）（4,4＇-bipy）.3DMF consisted of honeycomb grid layers of M2＋ ions and BTC units, which were further linked by the 4,4＇-bipy pillars to form a three-dimensional highly porous framework. All the MOFs displayed excellent synergistic catalytic properties with alkyl ammonium halides（TBAX） in the solventless fixation of CO_2 with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates. The catalytic activities of these MOFs followed the trend Zn Co Ni,which was explained by the acid-base bifunctional properties. The microwave-synthesized Zn（HBTC）（4,4＇-bipy）.3DMF material exhibited physical, chemical, and catalytic properties that were similar to those of the catalyst obtained using a conventional solvothermal synthesis. The scope of various parameters, including recyclability, was studied, and a plausible reaction mechanism was suggested.展开更多
