Biosorption isothermal data could be well simulated by both Langmuir and Freundlich models.Langmuir simulation of the biosorption showed that the maximum uptake of cadmium was 40.5 mg/g(0.36 mmol/g)in the optimal conditions,which was higher than many other adsorbents,including biosorbents and activated carbon.In addition,the reusability results showed that after five times of sorption and desorption process,the sorption capacity of R.cohnii could still maintain nearly 80%,confirming its practical application in cadmium treatment.Fourier transform infrared spectrum revealed that carboxyl,amino and hydroxyl groups on biosorbent R.cohnii surface were responsible for the biosorption of cadmium.展开更多

The regularity of the variation in the amounts of adsorption by coals under variable temperature and pressure and 30 ℃ isothermal conditions are compared and the adsorption characteristics of coal under the composite effect of temperature and pressure were obtained. The adsorption test and data processing method of coal under variable temperature and pressure are presented and the effect of the mechanism of temperature and pressure on the adsorption capacity of coal has been studied. The research results are of significant importance in the investigation of coalbed methane storage mechanism and for the prediction of the amounts of coalbed methane at various depths.展开更多

For the sake of seeking effective measurements to eliminate this bad effect of steam-cured condition on concrete, the water sorptivity and pore structure of steam-cured concretes exposed to different subsequent curing conditions were investigated after steam-curing treatment. The capillary absorption coefficient and porosity of the corresponding concretes were analyzed, and their mechanisms were also discussed. The results indicate that water sorptivity and pore structure of steam-cured concrete are greatly influenced by the curing condition used in subsequent ages. Exposure steam-cured concrete to air condition has an obviously bad effect on its properties and microstructures. Adopting subsequent curing of immersing steam-cured concrete into about 20℃ water after steam curing period can significantly decrease its capillary absorption coefficient and porosity. Steam-cured concrete with 7 d water curing has minimum capillary absorption coefficient and total porosity. Its water sorptivity is decreased by 23% compared with standard curing concrete and the porosity is 9.6% lower. Moreover, the corresponding gradient of water sorptivity and porosity of steam-cured concrete both decrease, thus mictostructure of concrete becomes more homogeneous.展开更多

It can be used to measure the isotherms under supercritical condition. The adsorption isotherms of phenol on activated carbons and polymeric adsorbents are estimated and compared respectively for the systems of 'phenol-activated carbon-supercritical fluid CO2' and 'phenol-polymeric adsorbent-supercritical fluid CO2'. The results show that the amount of phenol adsorbed on the activated carbons and the polymeric adsorbents under the supercritical condition is much less than that under the general condition, which can be utilized to develop a technology regenerating the activated carbon with supercritical fluid. Moreover, the effects of ethyl alcohol, used as the third component, on the isotherms of phenol on the activated carbons and polymeric adsorbents under the supercritical condition are also investigated.展开更多

Some variable parameters such as pH, reaction time and chitosan dosage were optimized. Under the optimum experiment condition, the effect of common ions on the adsorption of Cr （i.e., Na^＋, K^＋, Mg^2＋, Ca^2＋ for Cr（Ⅲ）, and Cl^-, NO3^-, SO4^2- for Cr（Ⅵ）） was also investigated. Furthermore, the sorption mechanism of Cr by chitosan was investigated by applying Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations to the data obtained. In addition, to confirm the characteristics of the chitosan, the surface morphology of the biomass was determined by SEM （scanning electron microscope） and specific surface area analyzer （N2-BET （Brunaeur, Emmet and Teller））. Consequently, the following matters have been mainly clarified： （1） chitosan can be an efficient sorbent for Cr （both Cr（Ⅲ） and Cr（Ⅵ））; （2） the effect of common ions on the adsorption ofCr （Cr（Ⅲ） and Cr（Ⅵ）） was not significant under this experimental conditions; （3） adsorption isotherms using the chitosan can be generally described by Langmuir isotherm more satisfactorily for Cr. The adsorption may have occurred mainly by monolayer reaction; （4） the rates of adsorption were found to conform to pseudo-second order kinetics.展开更多

For alkane mixtures,the n-heptane, the longest chain component in alkane mixtures, is preferentially adsorbed at low pressures, with its adsorption increasing and then decreasing as the pressure increases continuously while the n-pentane, the shortest chain component in alkane mixtures, is still adsorbed at high pressures; the adsorption of the longest chain component of alkane mixtures increases as the pore width and the porosity of PLMs increase.展开更多

Conclusions are as follows: 1) Upriver part of the wall-attaching jet's center streamline is in good accordance with parabola; 2) When both gas inlet pressure and outlet pressure as well as their ratio are not too high ( the outlet pressure is less than 10 MPa and the pressure ratio is less than 3), the center streamlines of the wall-attaching jet with the same pressure ratio coincide with each other very well, and the deflection degree of the center streamline decreases with rise of the pressure ratio; 3) The deflection degree of the jet's center streamline decreases with either broadening of nozzle's throat or rise of wall offset; 4) With rise of the pressure ratio, attachment distance of the jet increases, but the increase rate descends; 5) The attachment distance ascends with rise of either the nozzle's throat or the wall offset.展开更多

Then HaSiW12O40@MIL-100（Fe） was prepared by encapsulating H4SiW12O40 within the pores of MIL-100（Fe） to facilitate its recovery and reuse. The prepared H4SiW12O40@MIL-100（Fe） was characterized by means of FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, TG and then the catalytic performance was evaluated. The result showed that H4SiW12O40 was highly dispersed in the pores of MIL-100（Fe）, and both the Keggin structure of HaSiW12O40 and the crystal skeleton structure of MIL-100（Fe） could be effectively/preserved. Furthermore, H4SiW12O40@ MIL-100（Fe） showed excellent catalytic performance under the following reaction conditions： a molar ratio of aniline to formaldehyde = 5, a mass ratio of catalyst to formaldehyde = 1.2, a reaction temperature of 120 ℃ and a reaction time of 6 h. Under the above reaction conditions, the conversion of aniline was 41.1%, and the yield and selectivity of 4,4＇-MDA were 81,6% and 79.2%, respectively. Unfortunately, an appreciable loss in the catalytic activity of the recovered H4SiW12O40@MIL-100（Fe） was observed because of the blocking of the pores and the change of the acidity resulted from the adsorption of alkaline organics such as aniline and 4,4＇-MDA. The adsorbed alkaline organics could be cleaned up when the recovered catalyst was washed by methanol and DMF. Then the catalyst was effectively reused up to three cycles without much loss in its activity.展开更多

文摘A high performance composite membrane was prepared under the inspiration of bioadhesion principles for pervaporative dehydration of ethanol.Chitosan(CS)and polyacrylonitrile(PAN)ultrafiltration membranes were used as the active layer and the support layer,respectively.Guar gum(GG),a natural bioadhesive,was introduced as the intermediate bonding layer to improve the separation performance and stability of the fabricated CS/GG/PAN composite membranes.The contact angle of the GG layer was just between those of the CS layer and the PAN layer,minimizing the difference of hydrophilicity between the active layer and the support layer.The peeling strength of the composite membrane was significantly enhanced after the introduction of the GG layer.The effects of preparation conditions and operation conditions including GG concentration,operating temperature and ethanol concentration in feed on the pervaporation performance were investigated.The as-fabricated CS/GG/PAN composite membrane showed the optimum performance with a permeation flux of up to804 g·m-2·h-1and a separation factor higher than 1900.Besides,the composite membranes exhibited a desirable long-term operational stability.
