Multi-functional forward osmosis draw solutes for seawater desalination

Forward osmosis(FO), as one of the emerging desalination technologies, has the potential to produce fresh water from a variety of water sources by utilizing the osmotic pressure gradient across a semi-permeable membrane.Draw solution, as an essential component of any FO process, can extract water molecules from seawater or wastewater. An ideal draw solution should meet three essential requirements, namely high osmotic pressure, low reverse flux, and facile regeneration mechanism. The selection of proper draw solutes is especially critical for an energy-efficient FO process since the energy consumption mostly arises from the separation or regeneration of the draw solution. Recently, we developed a few multi-functional FO draw solutes, mainly aiming to enhance the FO water flux and to explore facile re-concentration methods. This review summarizes these draw solutes,including Na^+_- functionalized carbon quantum dots, thermoresponsive copolymers, hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles, and thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticles.

A study of particles penetration in sieving process on a linear vibration screen

This paper presented an investigation of particle collision and penetration using the discrete element method to understand the motion of particles and improve theoretical treatment in the sieving process. The process progressively was divided into looseness, stratification, collision, and penetration. Particle penetration has a direct effect on the screening performance. The penetration probability was defined, and the mathematical relationships between particle penetration and vibration parameters were established using the least squares method. To obtain the ideal penetration probability for materials the amplitude and frequency should preferably be near 3.0 mm and 25 Hz, respectively. The vibration direction angle has only a slight effect on penetration. The stage of the screening process from 0.1 to 0.7 s is the primary region for collision and penetration. This paper focused on the sieving process to more fully understand how particle collision and penetration influence the screening efficiency.

Research on anti-contact fatigue performance of grease containing nano SbSbS_4 particles

Effects of nano SbSbS4particles on contact fatigue life of a steel ball were evaluated on a self-made ball-rod contact fatigue tester. The anti-fatigue mechanisms of SbSbS4 additive were analyzed by means of SEM and EDAX. It was shown that, when the grease contained SbSbS4, contact fatigue life was improved compared with that of base grease. Nanoparticle absorption action, nanoparticle infiltration action, and extreme pressure and anti-friction performance, explained why SbSbS4 increased the contact fatigue life of the steel ball tested.

Influence of green tea polyphenols on mitochondrial permeability transition pore and Ca^2＋ transport

The authors investigated the influence of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) on the liver mitochondria permeability transition pore (PTP) opening through mitochondria swelling and change of mitochondria membrane potential. The data showed that GTPs had obvious protective effect on the Ca 2+-induced PTP opening in a dose-dependent manner detected by mitochondria swelling. The results were obtained by measuring the change of mitochondria membrane potential through Rh 123. Further experiments were conducted to examine the detailed influence of GTPs on Ca 2+import and export of mitochondria. The results showed that GTPs had remarkably inhibitory effect on the Ca 2+-induced Ca 2+ import in mitochondria; and that they could accelerate Ca 2+-release from mitochondria. Our data provide an alternate interpretation of the potent protective function of GTPs on cell against apoptosis.

Computational Simulation of Hypervelocity Penetration Using Adaptive SPH Method

The normal hypervelocity impact of an Al-thin plate by an Al-sphere was numerically simulated by using the adaptive smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ASPH) method. In this method, the isotropic smoothing algorithm of standard SPH is replaced with anisotropic smoothing involving ellipsoidal kernels whose axes evolve automatically to follow the mean particle spacing as it varies in time, space, and direction around each particle. Using the ASPH, the anisotropic volume changes under strong shock condition are captured more accurately and clearly. The sophisticated features of meshless and Lagrangian nature inherent in the SPH method are kept for treating large deformations, large inhomogeneities and tracing free surfaces in the extremely transient impact process. A two-dimensional ASPH program is coded with C++. The developed hydrocode is examined for example problems of hypervelocity impacts of solid materials. The results obtained from the numerical simulation are compared with available experimental ones. Good agreement is observed.

A particle mapping transportation algorithm was proposed on the basis of the particle-in-cell method.The particles with rectangular influence domains were employed in the transportation algorithm to reduce the numerical fluctuations.Based on the error analysis in the process of particle motion computation,a prediction-correction algorithm was introduced to improve the computational accuracy.Furthermore,the performance of the particle mapping transportation method was evaluated by using the rotation,the slotted disk and the shear advection tests,and the results were compared with other interface reconstruction methods.Finally,the hemispherical projectile penetration into a steel target was numerically simulated.The results showed that the proposed method produced less numerical fluctuations and exhibited clear material interfaces,which indicated that it is accurate and effective.

Particle Size Influence on the Effective Permeability of Composite Materials

The energy method, which estimates the effective permeability of composite material is proposed. We approximate the effective static magnetic permeability by energy method and Maxwell-Garnett method for spherical particles dispersing system. Considering the effect of the interface layer between the medium and the particle, we study the nanoparticles embedded in a medium exactly. The interface layer property plays a significant factor for the effective permeability of the composite material in which nano-sized particles embedded.
