A T-type rectangular microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of 408μm was used. Operating parameters, i.e. temperature, pressure and molar ratio of MEA to CO2 were studied. Under 3 MPa pressure, the mole fraction of CO2 in gaslphase could decrease from 32.3% to 300×10-6 at least when gas hourly space velocity ranged from 14400 to 68600 h- and molar ratio of MEA to CO2 was kept at 2.2. In particular, the effects of temperature on CO2 absorption flux, mass transfer driving force, gas-liquid contact time and en- hancement factor were analyzed in detail and found that mass transfer enhancement by chemical reaction was a crucial factor for the orocess of CO9 absorotion.展开更多

In this study, polyaniline adsorbent was synthesized by chemical oxidation to remove tannic acid in aqueous solutions. The adsorption amount of tannic acid varied greatly with pH of solution and strong adsorption was at pH 5.8-6.7. Coexisting cations, such as Na＋, K＋, and Ca2＋, can enhance the adsorption of tannic acid on poly- aniline, which may be contributed to the electrostatic interaction between tannic acid and polyaniline. The adsorp- tion process could be well described by Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity was 117.65 rag.g〈 at 35℃and pH 6.0. The thermodynamic parameters calculated from the adsorption isotherms indicate that the ad- sorption of tannic acid is spontaneous and endothermic process. The polyaniline saturated with tannic acid can be desorbed in alkaline solution and regenerated adsorbent can be used repeatedly with high adsorption capacity, which implies that polyaniline adsorbents have a great potential in water purification for the removal of tannic acid.展开更多

It is demonstrated that these methods are available for the steady-state model, which may be expressed as a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) with two-point boundary values. This method makes it possible not only to obtain the concentration profiles for MDEA system, but also to reveal the effect of CO2 interfacial concentration on the enhancement factor. With this numerical simulation, the mass transfer process with multicomponent diffusion and reactions can be better understood.展开更多

The swelling equilibria for both gels were obtained in aqueous solution of ethanol with concentration ranging from 0 to 100%(by mass) at 25℃. The swollen gel in water shrank first with the addition of a small amount of ethanol and then reswelled with further addition of ethanol showing not only a discontinuous volume phase transition but also a typical reentrant phenomenon. A thermodynamic model based on the UNIQUAC with the 'free-volume' contribution was applied to correlate and predict the swelling behavior of the poly(NIPAAM)-gels in ethanol-water mixture.展开更多

The main influencing factors and adsorption mechanism for two typical metal ions, Cr3＋ and Fe3＋, were investigated. The adsorption performance primarily depends on the initial concentration of metal ions, pH value and temperature, and the chelation action between N atoms of PEl-cell and metal ions plays an important role. Under dynamic adsorption conditions, the saturation adsorption of polyethyleneimine-cellulose is 83.98 mg.g-1 for Cr（Ⅲ） and 377.19 mg-g-1 for Fe（Ⅲ）, higher than report- ed data and that of unmodified cellulose. The adsorption can be well described with second-order kinetic equation and Freundlich adsorption model, and AH, AG and 5 of the adsorption are all negative. With 5% HCI as eluent, the elution ratio of Cr（Ill） and Fe（llI） achieved 99.88% and 97.74% at 313 K, respectively. After the porous PEI-cell was reused 6 times, it still presented satisfactory adsorption performance. Above results show the advantages such as easily-acquired raw material, high efficiency, stable recycling oerformance and biodegradability.展开更多

To alleviate the matching problems between the layer permeability and the injected polymer molecular weight, a molecular weight adjusting device with porous medium was designed on the basis of mechanical degradation principle. In terms of four variables （polymer concentration, pore diameter, length of shear component and flow rate ）, the theological behavior of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide （HPAM） solu- tion flowing through the device was investigated in detail. The change of these variables is able to control the shear rate of HPAM solutions through ceramic foam, and achieve the desired degree of shear degradation and the final theological parameters-viscosity loss, viscoelasticity and pressure drop. Therefore, a linear relationship between viscosity loss and shearing rate was established so as to obtain the targeted viscosity easily. Field tests in the Daqing Oil Field showed that the polymer molecular weight could drop 20% to 50%. In a word, the results could guide the industrial application of the novel device and the further study of polymer degradation flowing through the porous medium.展开更多

The preparation process was carried out through graft copolymerization of acrylamide onto cellulose, using ceric ammonium nitrate as an initiator. Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm and characterization poly acrylamide-grafted cellulose formation. Batch experiments of Cu（Ⅱ） ions adsorption on the grafted cellulose adsorbent were performed. Effects of initial pH of the solution, contact time and initial Cu（Ⅱ） concentration on the adsorption of Cu（Ⅱ） were studied. The maximum adsorption of Cu（Ⅱ） ion on grafted cellulose is observed 90 mg/g at the initial pH of 6. Equilibrium time was reached within 3h. Kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order equations. The data fitted very well to the pseudo-second-order rate expression. The equilibrium data for adsorption isotherms of these metal ions on grafted cellulose were obtained using the Langmuir and Freundlich models and the Langmuir model was obtained to be in better correlation with the experimental data. The results showed that acrylamide-g-cellulose developed in this study could be an economical and effective adsorbent for application in removal of copper ion from water and waste waters.展开更多

Electrochemical properties of the PTAm layer were characterized in three aqueous electrolytes of sodium chloride （NaCl）, sodium tetrafluoroborate （NaBF4）, and sodium hexafluorophosphate （NaPF6） to optimize its activity as an organic cathode. The counter anion species significantly affected the capacity and the cycle performance of the PTAm layer. The PTAm layer in the presence of BF4？ displayed quantitative redox capacity beyond 1 μm layer thickness and maintained the discharging capacity of 110 mAh g-1 （97% vs. the calculated capacity） even after 1000 cycle charging/discharging, which could be ascribed to its appropriate affinity to the aqueous electrolyte without any dissolution into the electrolyte. A totally organic-based rechargeable cell was fabricated using PTAm and poly（N-4,4＇-bipyridinium-N-decamethylene dibromide） as the cathode and the anode, respectively, and the aqueous electrolyte of NaBF4. The cell gave a plateau voltage at 1.2 V both on charging and discharging and an excellent charging/discharging cyclability of ＆gt;2000 with high coulombic efficiency of ＆gt;95%.展开更多

In this work, the thermodynamics of CO_2 in aqueous solution of N-methyldiethanolamine(MDEA) and piperazine(PZ) is studied by the electrolyte non-random two liquids(NRTL) model. The chemical equilibrium constants are calculated from the free Gibbs energy of formation, and the Henry's constants of CO_2 in MDEA and PZ are regressed to revise the value in the pure water. New experimental data from literatures are added to the regression process. Therefore, this model should provide a comprehensive thermodynamic representation for the quaternary system with broader ranges and more accurate predictions than previous work. Model results are compared to the experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE), speciation and heat of absorption data, which show that the model can predict the experimental data with reasonable accuracy.展开更多
