Modification of activated carbons was carded out by impregnating activated carbon with organosilane/methanol-containing solutions. The breakthrough curves of formaldehyde in the packed beds of original and modified activated carbons were measured, respectively, at relative humidity of 30%, 60%, and 80%. Temperature-programmed desorption （TPD） experiments were used to estimate the activation energy for desorption of formaldehyde from the activated carbon. Results showed that the relative humidity had strongly influence on breakthrough curves of formaldehyde in the packed beds. The higher the relative humidity of gas mixtures through the packed beds was, the smaller the breakthrough time of formaldehyde became. The use of organosilane compounds to modify surfaces of the activated carbon can enhance the interaction between formaldehyde and the surfaces, and as a result, the breakthrough times of formaldehyde in the packed beds of the modified activated carbon were longer than that in the packed bed of the unmodified activated carbon.展开更多

The relative phosphine resistance of two strains of Cryptolestesferrugineus （Stephens） was measured by the method of knockdown at 2 mg/L of phosphine. The insects were exposed to the five inert dust on filter paper inside petri dishes for 1 day at 30 ±1℃and 65 ±1% relative humidity. Then, the adults were held for 4 days with food at the same conditions without inert dust in surface bioassay. Also, they were placed in 25 ±1℃ and 65 ±1% relative humidity in grain bioassay. In surface bioassay, two strains （JXCF and YYCF） ofCryptolestesferrugineus （Stephens） were susceptible to the five inert dust at 0.08 g/m2 and 0.1 g/m2. G-3 appeared the most effective treatment against both strains, since its efficacy was 3-6 times higher than the other four inert dust tested. YYCF strain was more susceptible than JXCF, with 1-4 times higher mortality level. This research indicated that inert dusts were effective on phosphine-resistance Cryptolestesferrugineus （Stephens） populations.展开更多
