The reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure and CO2/CH4 ratio > 2. The Hougen-Watson rate models were fitted to experimental data assuming the disso ciative adsorption of methane as the rate-determining step. The reaction rate showed an effective reaction order of about unity for CH4. The apparent activity energy was found to be 104 kJ·mol-1. Therefore the kinetic reaction parameters were determined and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed.展开更多

Demineralization of the char samples was performed by treating them with 10% nitric acid for 10 min in a CEM Discover microwave reactor. The gasification of the chars, and corresponding demineralized chars, in a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere was conducted in a Netzsch STA 409Cl31F tempera- ture-programmed thermogravimetry apparatus. The effects of charring temperature and demineralization on the gasification reactivity of chars were systematically investigated. The results show that a char formed at a lower temperature is more reactive except for demineralized char formed at 1100℃, which is less reactive than char formed at 1200℃. Demineralization decreases the char reactivities toward gasification with CO2 to a small extent.展开更多

The catalysts were prepared by using the wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by a series of physico-chemical characterization techniques such as BET surface area, thermo-gravimetric (TG), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, the amount of carbon deposits on the surface of the catalysts and the type of the carbonaceous species were discussed by TG. It was found that the bimetallic Pt-Ru/7-A1203 catalysts exhibit both superior catalytic activity and remarkable stability by comparison of monometallic catalysts. During the 500 h stability test, the bimetallic catalyst showed a good performance at 800 ~C in CO2 reforming of CH4, exhibiting an excellent anti-carbon performance with the mass loss of less than 8.5%. The results also indicate that CO2 and CH4 have quite stable conversions of 96.0 % and 94.0 %, respectively. Also, the selectivity of the catalysts is excellent with the products ratio of CO/H2 maintaining at 1.02. Furthermore, it was found in TEM images that the active carbonaceous species were formed during the catalytic reaction, and well-distributed dot-shaped metallic particles with a relatively uniform size of about 3 nm as well as amorphous carbon structures were observed. Combined with BET, TG, TEM tests, it is concluded that the selected bimetallic catalysts can work continuously in a stable state at the high temperature, which has a potential to be utilized for the closed-loop cycle of the solar thermochemical energy storage in future industry applications.展开更多

The presence of obesity and insulin resistance is strongly associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver and confers on it a greater risk of histologically advanced disease. There is a growing concern in the medical profession as the prevalence of this disease continues to rise in parallel with the rise in obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Treatment options are limited and dietary weight loss is often advised. Low fat diets are difficult to adhere to and recent studies have shown the potential of low carbohydrate diets for weight loss and improving insulin resistance. Thus far, no study has evaluated the effect of low carbohydrate diets on NAFLD. Future studies will be required to address this question and others with regards to the nutritional adequacy and long-term side effects of these diets.展开更多

The reforming reactions were conducted at 500-700℃ and atmospheric pressure using CO2/CH4/N2 with feed ratio of 17/17/2, at total flow rate of 36 mL/min. The catalytic performance was assessed through CH4 and CO2 conversions, synthesis gas ratio (H2/CO) and long term stability. Catalytic activity and stability tests revealed that addition of Mn improved catalytic performance and led to higher stability of bimetallic catalysts which presented better coke suppression than monometallic catalyst. In this work, the optimum loading of Mn which exhibited the most stable performance and least coke deposition was 0.5wt%. The fresh and spent catalysts were characterized by various techniques such as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, the temperature programmed desorption CO2- TPD, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, EDX, and infrared spectroscopy.展开更多

The approaches followed here include the chemical analyses for major ions chemistry and construction of hydrochemical maps of total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium (Na +), bicarbonate (HCO 3 -), and chloride (Cl -) ions. The hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in each aquifer and management consideration are discussed. Sources of major ions in groundwater are analyzed. The hydrochemical maps of important species are constructed. The relationship of groundwater to use is elaborated. High concentrations of the chemical and hydrochemical constituents and the occurrence of calcretes (CaCO 3) in upper zones suggest a long history of evaporation and increasing leachates.展开更多

The chickens were slaughtered and their muscles were collected at the ages of 4, 8, and 16 weeks so as to determine the IMF contents, as well as the expression levels of AMPK subunits, regulators of adipogenesis. In addition, the myosin heavy chains(My HCs) in thigh muscle tissues were also measured. The results showed that the IMF contents in 16-week old chickens were higher than those in 4 and 8-week-old chickens(P<0.05).The expression levels of fatty acid synthase(FAS) and fatty aicd translocase CD36(FAT/CD36) m RNA were increased significantly in samples collected at the ages of4 and 16 weeks(P<0.05). The expression levels of My HC IIa and IIb differed significantly among all the developmental stages(P <0.05). The AMPKα2, AMPKγ1,and AMPKγ3 m RNA levels were dramatically decreased with the increase of age(P <0.05). To examine the role of AMPK in adipogenesis regulation, the SV cells were cultured in an adipogenesis medium and treated with AICAR and Compound C respectively, the specific activator and inhibit of AMPK. The Compound C induced dramatically a greater expression of C/EBPβ, SREBP1 and PPARγ(P <0.05). In conclusion, the expression of AMPKα2, AMPKγ1, and AMPKγ3 m RNA is significantly correlated with the adipogenesis in skeletal muscle of chickens.展开更多

The influences of temperature, pressure and steam/carbon (S/C) on enhancement were taken into account. The results showed that the hydrogen mole fraction (dry basis) higher than 94% could be achieved using Li4SiO4, CaO, and HTC as CO2 acceptors at the operating conditions of 550~C and 0.1 MPa. When the reaction temperature varied from 500℃ to 600℃, the initial CO2 capture rates were HTC〉CaO〉Li4SiO4〉LizZrO3, and the saturation rates HTC〉CaO〉Li4SiOg〉Li2ZrO3. Increasing the reaction temperature would improve the CO2 capture rate and available CO2 capacity. For Li4SiO4, although the adsorbing rate increased as the operating temperature increased, the capacity almost did not change. At 550℃, increasing the working pressure could promote the enhancing factors of Li4SiO4,Li2ZrO3 and HTC. There was an optimal steam/carbon ratio between 2-4.5 such that all CaO, Li4SiO4, HTC and Li2ZrO3 would obtain the biggest enhancement for H2 production at the pre-breakthrough stage.展开更多

Carbonate cementation was heavily developed in Chang 6 sandbody, a facies of underwater distributary channel in delta front, of Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in Fuxian area, southern Ordos Basin, and the cementation is one of the major factors that affect quality of reservoir. Based on the macro-microcosmic petrology and geochemistry features, the genesis of densification of carbonate-cemented reservoir was systematically discussed. The carbonate cementation can be classified into endogenous and exogenous, and the essential differences between them are that they were formed in different fluids and in different diagenesis periods. With the aid of identification of thin sections, analyses on electron probe, trace and rare-earth elements, carbon and oxygen isotope, we propose that the endogenous fluid for cementation came from the rock itself during early diagenetic stage. The minerals related to endogenous fluid had good shapes. The reservoir property was enhanced with porosity increasing by 3%-8% because of later dissolution by endogenous fluid. The exogenous fluid might be water combining with CO 2 , likely released from organic matter-rich mudstone. Calcite cement, in form of substrate cementation, was precipitated from the fluid and filled in the remaining pores of sandstones in late diagenetic stage as variations of physical and chemical conditions. The exogenous cement reduced rock porosity, damaged reservoir property, affected some oil enrichment, and seriously caused Chang 6 reservoir densification. Some of the dense layers that formed on top of sandbody could have served as diagenetic traps, and thus the exogenous cementation area could be favorable for oil exploration.展开更多

文摘Five Shenfu char samples were prepared from Shenfu raw coal at different temperatures (950, 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1400℃) using a muffle furnace. Demineralization of the char samples was performed by treating them with 10% nitric acid for 10 min in a CEM Discover microwave reactor. The gasification of the chars, and corresponding demineralized chars, in a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere was conducted in a Netzsch STA 409Cl31F tempera- ture-programmed thermogravimetry apparatus. The effects of charring temperature and demineralization on the gasification reactivity of chars were systematically investigated. The results show that a char formed at a lower temperature is more reactive except for demineralized char formed at 1100℃, which is less reactive than char formed at 1200℃. Demineralization decreases the char reactivities toward gasification with CO2 to a small extent.

The results showed that the hydrogen mole fraction (dry basis) higher than 94% could be achieved using Li4SiO4, CaO, and HTC as CO2 acceptors at the operating conditions of 550~C and 0.1 MPa. When the reaction temperature varied from 500℃ to 600℃, the initial CO2 capture rates were HTC〉CaO〉Li4SiO4〉LizZrO3, and the saturation rates HTC〉CaO〉Li4SiOg〉Li2ZrO3. Increasing the reaction temperature would improve the CO2 capture rate and available CO2 capacity. For Li4SiO4, although the adsorbing rate increased as the operating temperature increased, the capacity almost did not change. At 550℃, increasing the working pressure could promote the enhancing factors of Li4SiO4,Li2ZrO3 and HTC. There was an optimal steam/carbon ratio between 2-4.5 such that all CaO, Li4SiO4, HTC and Li2ZrO3 would obtain the biggest enhancement for H2 production at the pre-breakthrough stage.

文摘A series of Ce-promoted 6.7%Ni-containing mesoporous silica(Ce-Ni-Si O2)with varying Ce content(0.5%–4.8%)was prepared using the evaporation-induced self-assembly method.The characterization results showed that Ce and Ni species were homogeneously incorporated into the mesoporous silica matrix.The catalytic properties of these samples in the dry reforming of methane reaction revealed that the catalysts(e.g.,1.2%Ce-Ni-Si O2)containing highly dispersed small Ni particles exhibited excellent catalytic activity and long-term stability,which is attributed to the anchoring effect of the Ce and its ability to increase surface oxygen species concentration.

文摘Densification of reservoir is an important factor that restricts oil and gas exploration from low porosity and extra-low permeability reservoirs. Carbonate cementation was heavily developed in Chang 6 sandbody, a facies of underwater distributary channel in delta front, of Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in Fuxian area, southern Ordos Basin, and the cementation is one of the major factors that affect quality of reservoir. Based on the macro-microcosmic petrology and geochemistry features, the genesis of densification of carbonate-cemented reservoir was systematically discussed. The carbonate cementation can be classified into endogenous and exogenous, and the essential differences between them are that they were formed in different fluids and in different diagenesis periods. With the aid of identification of thin sections, analyses on electron probe, trace and rare-earth elements, carbon and oxygen isotope, we propose that the endogenous fluid for cementation came from the rock itself during early diagenetic stage. The minerals related to endogenous fluid had good shapes. The reservoir property was enhanced with porosity increasing by 3%-8% because of later dissolution by endogenous fluid. The exogenous fluid might be water combining with CO 2 , likely released from organic matter-rich mudstone. Calcite cement, in form of substrate cementation, was precipitated from the fluid and filled in the remaining pores of sandstones in late diagenetic stage as variations of physical and chemical conditions. The exogenous cement reduced rock porosity, damaged reservoir property, affected some oil enrichment, and seriously caused Chang 6 reservoir densification. Some of the dense layers that formed on top of sandbody could have served as diagenetic traps, and thus the exogenous cementation area could be favorable for oil exploration.
