Products of carbothermic reduction of Fe-Cr-O and Fe-Cr-Ni-O systems

The reduction behaviors and characteristics of products of the Fe-Cr-O system （FeCr2O4 and Fe2O3＋Cr2O3） and Fe-Cr-Ni-O system （Fe2O3＋Cr2O3＋NiO） under various conditions were studied. The results show that more Fe-Cr or Fe-Cr-Ni solution and less residual carbon content were obtained at higher temperatures and lower initial molar ratio of C to O （nC：nO）. The degree of reduction was highly dependent on both time and temperature, and the residual carbon content greatly increased with increasing nC：nO at each temperature. The products generated during the carbothermic reduction of the Fe-Cr-O system were examined using X-ray diffraction （XRD）. A scanning electron microscope （SEM） coupled with energy dispersive spectrometer was used to observe the microstructure and the distribution of elements in the various phases of the final reduction products of the Fe-Cr-O and Fe-Cr-Ni-O.

Effects of Propionate on Streptolydigin Production and Carbon Flux Distribution in Streptomyces lydicus AS 4.2501

To achieve higher antibiotic streptolydigin productivity through metabolic regulation, propionate was fed during the fermentation of Streptomyces lydicus AS 4.2501. The effects of propionate feeding on streptolydigin production and intracellular fluxes were investigated. The highest streptolydigin production yield of 95.10mg·L-1 was obtained when 2mmol·L-1 of sodium propionate was added at 60h of cultivation into shake-flask culture. This yield is 23.06% higher when compared to that of a batch culture without propionate supplementation. It was also found that when propionate was added, much more organic acids were excreted. Metabolic flux analysis was per-formed and it demonstrated that the carbon fluxes of the pentose phosphate pathway and the anaplerotic reaction were significantly increased after propionate feeding. The carbon flux from pyruvate to acetyl-CoA was determined to be 24.7, which was 12.27% higher than that in the batch culture. This study indicated that the glu-cose-6-phosphate and pyruvate nodes were potential bottlenecks for increasing streptolydigin productivity. Potential targets and strategies that could be manipulated through genetic and process engineering to increase the production of streptolydigin were also suggested.

The spatial distribution of commuting CO_2 emissions and the influential factors:A case study in Xi'an,China

As the transport sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, the effect of urbanization on transport CO2 emissions in developing cities has become a key issue under global climate change. Examining the case of Xi＇an, this paper aims to explore the spatial distribution of commuting CO2 emissions and influencing factors in the new, urban industry zones and city centers considering Xi＇an＇s transition from a monocentric to a polycentric city in the process of urbanization. Based on household survey data from 1501 respondents, there are obvious differences in commuting CO2 emissions between new industry zones and city centers： City centers feature lower household emissions of 2.86 kg CO2 per week, whereas new industry zones generally have higher household emissions of 3.20 kg CO2 per week. Contrary to previous research results, not all new industry zones have high levels of CO2 emissions; with the rapid development of various types of industries, even a minimum level of household emissions of 2.53 kg CO2 per week is possible. The uneven distribution of commuting CO2 emissions is not uniformly affected by spatial parameters such as job-housing balance, residential density, employment density, and land use diversity. Optimum combination of the spatial parameters and travel pattern along with corresponding transport infrastructure construction may be an appropriate path to reduction and control of emissions from commuting.

Distribution of stable carbon isotope in coalbed methane from the east margin of Ordos Basin

The commercial recovery of methane from coal is well established in the coalbed methane(CBM) blocks at the east margin of Ordos Basin, China. CBM forms with various carbon isotopic ratios(δ13CPDB) due to the carbon isotopic fractionation in biogenical or thermogenical processes. Based on the geologic evolution of coalbed reservoir and studies on the characteristics of δ13 CPDB values distributed spatially(e.g., horizontal CBM well location area, vertical coal burial zone, coal rank, etc.) and temporally(e.g., geologic evolution history), we explored the formation mechanism of carbon isotopic of methane. The relatively low δ13 CPDB values are widely distributed along the research area, indicating a trend of "lighter-heavier-lighter" from north to south. From a combination analysis of the relationship between δ13 CPDB and the relative effects, the essential aspects in determining CBM carbon isotope being light in the study area are: the genesis of secondary biogas in the north; water soluble effects in the active hydrodynamic areas in the middle; desorption fractionation effect promoted by tectonic evolution in the south; and the sudden warming hydrocarbon fractionation accelerated by magmatic event in particular areas(e.g., Linxian).

Fine-scale spatial distribution of soil organic carbon and its fractions after afforestation with Pinus sylvestris and Salix psammophila in a semiarid desert of China

Afforestation is helpful to improve soil functions and increase soil organic carbon(SOC)sequestration in semiarid deserts.However,the fine-scale(around a single plant)spatial distribution of SOC and its liable organic carbon(LOC)fractions after afforestation in semiarid deserts are poorly understood.Pinus sylvestris and Salix psammophila afforested on shifting sandy land(Sland)were selected to quantify fine-scale(at 20,80,150 and 240 cm away from the trees)spatial distribution of SOC and its LOC fractions in the southeast edge of Mu Us Desert,China.The results showed that the afforested S.psammophila and P.sylvestris significantly increased SOC,total nitrogen,dissolved organic carbon,microbial biomass carbon and readily oxidized organic carbon(ROOC).At 20 cm distance,SOC storage of P.sylvestris was 27.21%higher than S.psammophila in 0-100 cm soil layers,and SOC storage of S.psammophila at 80 and 150 cm distances was 5.50%and 5.66%higher than P.sylvestris,respectively.Compared with Sland,SOC storage under S.psammophila and P.sylvestris significantly increased by 94.90%,39.50%,27.10%and 18.50%at 20,80,150 and 240 cm distance,respectively.ROOC accounted for 14.09%and 18.93%of SOC under S.psammophila and P.sylvestris,respectively.Our results suggest that afforestation can promote SOC accumulation at different distances from the plants,and that P.sylvestris allocates more organic matter to the closer soil compared with S.psammophila(<80 cm from the tree).
