Through analyzing particular pollutants in the samples collected from one petrochemi- cal enterprise in northwestern China, the sources of particular pollutants were discussed. The test results showed that con- centrations of particular pollutants in different sites were remarkably different. Results showed that the sampling sites with higher concentrations of particular pollutants, including toluene, xylenes, NH3 and H2S, were located at the boundary of the petrochemical enterprise. Instead, the concentrations of NMHC in the ambient air sampling sites were higher than those at the boundary of the petrochemical enterprise. The sampling sites with higher concentrations of particular pollutants were located in the area that was close to the petrochemical enterprise. The results obtained from the Pearson correlation co- efficients analyses, the factor analyses, and x^2-tests of the particular pollutants had revealed that NH3, H2S, toluene and xylenes at all sampling sites came from the same source, while NMHC might come from some other sources besides the petrochemical enterprise.展开更多

One of them is that the SVM is very sensitive to outliers or noises because of over-fitting problem. In this paper, a fuzzy support vector regression (FSVR) method is presented to deal with this problem. Strategies based on k nearest neighbor (kNN) and support vector data description (SVDD) are adopted to set the fuzzy membership values of data points in FSVR.The proposed FSVR soft sensor models based on kNN and SVDD are employed to predict the concentration of 4-carboxy-benzaldehyde (4-CBA) in purified terephthalic acid (PTA) oxidation process. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method indeed reduces the effect of outliers and yields higher accuracy.展开更多

Cracking and polymerization of the tar occur simultaneously at the proximity of inverse diffusion flame. Experimental study has been performed to clarify the effect of hydrogen concentration on soot formation and the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In the present study, hydrogen concentration is controlled by the small amount of hydrogen addition to the oxidizer. The main results are as follows. Soot formation is suppressed by the small amount of hydrogen addition. The suppression of soot formation is caused by higher concentration of hydrogen. Carbon yield increases by hydrogen addition since carbon content in the undetectable components by the integrated gas chromatograph decreases. In addition, the increase in carbon yield is caused mainly by the increase in carbon monoxide stemmed from reforming of high-boiling components.展开更多

Because the application of calorimetry does not depend upon knowledge of concentration profiles, it has the advantage over other real-time analyses. Estimated kinetic parameters were compared with the ones obtained with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy （FTIR）. The chosen reaction was ethyl benzoate saponification performed in homogeneous reaction medium, although it is known as heterogeneous reaction. Thus, the rate expression was developed where no mass transfer is considered. The reaction was carried out in a MettlerTM RCI reaction calorimeter.展开更多

The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 10.0% （w/w） ion-pair, 45.0% DOP （w/w） and 45.0% PVC （w/w）. The electrode showed a Nemstian response （with a slope of 58.70 mV decade-1） for the concentration range of 4.2 × 10-5-1.0 ×10-2 mol/L. It illustrates a relatively fast response time in the whole concentration range （-15 s） in a pH range of 3.0-7.5. The selectivity coefficients were determined in relation to several inorganic and organic species. DAP is determined successfully in pure solutions and in biological fuids using the standard additions and petentiometric titrations methods.展开更多

This study was aimed to investigate the usage of synthesized thiourea compounds to inhibit the growth of Oscillatoria sp. in Kenyir lake, Terengganu, Malaysia. The inhibition effects of four eco-friendly alkoxyl thiourea derivatives compounds named as N-（（4-（decyloxy）phenyl）carbamothioyl）-4-methyl benzamide, N-（（4-（decyloxy）phenyl）carbamothioyl）-4-nitro benzamide, 4-chloro-N-（（4-（decyloxy）phenyl）carbamothioyl） benzamide and N-（（4-（decyloxy）phenyl）carbamothioyl） benzamide were examined onto the growth culture of Oscillatoria sp. These compounds were tested in 30 mL of Oscillatoria sp. cultures with different concentration of 16 μg·mL-1, 18 μg·mL-1, 20 μg·mL-1, 24 μg·mL-1 and 28 μg·mL-1respectively. The treatment flasks were supplied with an aerator for 24 hours under continuous illumination at 25 ℃. Chlorophyll-a concentration were extracted to calculate the inhibition percentage of each treatment. Overall, all these compounds showed inhibition effects towards the growth of Oscillatoria sp., with the highest inhibition of 37% by N-（（4-（decyloxy）phenyl）carbamothioyl）-4-methyl benzamide at the concentration of 18μg·mL-1. The methyl group that attach to the synthesized compound may contribute to the effectiveness of the compound which act as an algae inhibitor. However, extensive studies still need to be conducted in order to investigate the mechanism on how this compound reacts with Oscillatoria sp..展开更多
