The O(^1Sj=0)+N2(XI∑g+) product channels were investigated by measuring images of the O(iSj=0) products. Vibrational states of N2(XI∑g+) products were fully resolved in the images. Product total kinetic energy releases (TKER) and the branching ratios of vibrational states of N2 products were determined. It is found that the most populated vibrational states of N2 products are v--2 and v--3. The angular anisotropy parameters (8 values) were also derived. The β values are very close to 2 at low vibrational states of the correlated N2 (X1 ∑g+) products at all three photolysis wavelengths, and gradually decrease to about 1.4 at v--7. This indicates the dissociation is mainly through a parallel transition state to form products at lower vibrational states, and the highly vibrational exited products are from a more bent configuration. This is consistent with the observed shift of the most intense rotational structure in the TKER as the vibrational quantum number increases.展开更多

The positions of more than 7300 lines of ^15N2^16O isotopologue were measured with a typical accuracy of 5.0×10-4 cm-1. The transitions were rovibrationally assigned on the basis of the global effective Hamiltonian model. The band by band analysis allowed for the determination of the rovibrational parameters of a total of 73 bands. 29 of them are newly reported and more rotational transitions have been observed for the others. The maximum deviation of the preidictions of the effective Hamiltonian model is up to 0.70 cm-1 for the ^15N2^16O species.展开更多

The catalysts prepared by hydrothermal method showed higher activity. Among the hydrothermal Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts, the catalyst with Nd/Co molar ratio of 0.01 had higher activity. 0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 catalyst was then impregnated by K 2CO 3 solution to prepare K-modified catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electrons microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H 2-TPR), and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O 2-TPD). The results show that Nd-Co 3O 4 and K-modified catalysts exhibit spinel structure. In contrast to bare Nd-Co 3O 4, the K-modified catalyst with higher activity is due to its weaker strength of Co-O bond and easier desorption of surface oxygen species. In addition, over 90% conversion of N 2O can be reached over 0.02K/0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 at 350 ℃ for 40 h under the co-presence of oxygen and steam in feed gases.展开更多
Five Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were obtained by treating Na-ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratio = 15) with aqueous solutions of differ- ent Cu precursors (CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4, Cu(CH3COO)2, and ammoniacal copper (II) complex ion)...Five Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were obtained by treating Na-ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratio = 15) with aqueous solutions of differ- ent Cu precursors (CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4, Cu(CH3COO)2, and ammoniacal copper (II) complex ion). After being pretreated in flowing He at 500 ℃ to form active Cu+, these catalysts exhibited quite different activities in cata- lytic decomposition of N2O. CZM-AC(II) (prepared by ammoniacal copper (II) complex ion) with 9.4 wt% Cu con- tent was the most active among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving almost complete N2I conversion at 400 ℃. CZM-CA (prepared using Cu( CH3COO)2 as the Cu precursor) with 2.8 wt% Cu content was the second most active catalyst among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving almost complete N2I conversion at 425 ℃. CZM-CC, CZM- CN, and CZM-CS prepared by using CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, or CuSO4 as the Cu precursor with similar Cu contents (≈1.7 wt%) were the least active among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving ca. 90% N2O conversion at 500 ℃. XRD, ICP, SEM, TEM, EDX-mapping, and CO-IR experiments were conducted to characterize relevant samples. The superior activity of CZM-AC(II) can be attributed to the high contents of total Cu+ and dimeric Cu+ among these samples. The influence of co-fed O2 or H2O on the catalytic performance of typical samples was also studied.展开更多

For single coal particle combustion, the majority of f-uel-N (65%-82%) is released as NOx, while only a little (less than 8%) fuel-N yields N20. But in labora- tory scale CFB, the conversion of fuel-N to N20 is increases, but the conversion of fuel-N to NOx is quite less than that of single coal particle combustion. This is because much char in CFB can promote the NOx reduction by in- creasing N20 formation. In full scale CFB, both of the conversion of fuel-N to NOx and the conversion of fuel-N to N20 are smaller than laboratory scale CFB.展开更多

Water regime in the rice-growing season was designed as the conventional irrigation (flooding/drainage cycle) and the permanent flooding. Wheat straw was incorporated with three rates of 0, 225 and 450 g m-2 into the paddy soil for each water regime just before rice was transplanted. N2O emission was measured by static chamber-gas chromatograph method. Results from the variance analysis indicated that the permanent flooding in rice-growing season markedly enhanced N2O emission in following wheat growing season (P=0. 003), and that the effect of straw application on N2O emission was distinguished between two water regimes. Under the conventional irrigation, incoporation of wheat straw reduced N2O emission in the following wheat growing season, while there were no significant differences in the emission for the straw application rates of 225 and 450 g m-2. No significant differences in N2O emissions were observed among the three rates of straw application for the permanent flooding regime. In addition, the seasonal variation of N2O emission was regulated by soil temperature and moisture. The daily N2O flux (Y, mg m-2 d-1) can be quantitatively described by soil temperature (T, ℃) and moisture (W, WFPS %) asY=A0+A1T+A2W+A3W2(n=23, R2 ≥0. 4159** )or y=C0+C1W+C2W2(n=23,R2≥0. 4074** ). Compared with the effect of soil temperature on N2O emission, soil moisture was an important factor regulating the seasonal pattern of N2O emission.展开更多

Aside others, the DLR Institute of Space Propulsion investigates a N20/C2I-I4 premixed green propellant. During the research activities, flashback from the rocket combustion chamber into the feeding system has been identified as a major challenge when using the propellant mixture. This paper shows the results of ignition experiments conducted in a cylindrical, optical accessible ignition chamber. During the ignition and flame propagation process, pressure, temperature and high-speed video data were collected. The high speed video data were used to analyze the flame propagation speed. The obtained propagation speed was about 20 rn/s at ignition, while during further propagation of the flame speeds of up to 120 m/s were measured. Additionally, two different porous materials as flame arresting elements were tested: Porous stainless steel and porous bronze material. For both materials Peclet numbers for flashback were derived. The critical Peclet number for the sintered bronze material was around 20, while for the sintered stainless steel the critical Peclet number seems to be larger than 40. Due to the test results, sintered porous materials seem to be suitable as flashback arresters.展开更多

The industrial generation of ozone is the classical application of the non-equilibrium air plasmas at the atmospheric pressure. A low temperature is needed because the ozone quickly decays at the high temperature. This study is based on a temporal kinetic model for the production of ozone. The chemical kinetics take into account 96 reactions with 19 species atomic and molecular created in the discharge. In this work, the model allows to calculate the temporal evolution of neutral, ionized and excited species concentrations in plasma. The results show the influence of the kinetic on the ozone production yield and on the gas heating by Joule effect.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to reveal the vertical distribution of N2O emission potential and its correlation with mineral nitrogen contents in reclaimed soils. Using a culture-based N2O emission assay, the N2O emission potentials of soil at various depths (0-450 cm) were investigated in two oil palm plantations in Sarawak, Malaysia, which had elapsed times of two years (E2Y) and 10 years (El 0Y) after deforestation, respectively. On the basis of the relationship between the vertical profiles of N2O emission potentials and the contents of mineralized nitrogen in the peat soils at various depths, the impact of land management on soil microbial communities was discussed. The peat soil at plantation site E2Y showed a trend of high N2O production in deep layers (200-400 cm), whereas the older plantation site E10Y showed considerably more active N2O emission in shallow soil (10-50 cm). N2O emission potentials among the soil microbial communities at different soil depths at the E10Y site showed positive correlations with NO3- and NH4+ contents, whereas, soils obtained from the E2Y site had N2O emission potentials that were inversely proportional to the contents of NO3-. This contrasting vertical correlation between N2O-emitting potentials and mineralized nitrogen contents in bulk soils suggests that active N2O emission in deep soil at the E2Y site has maintained the original carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of the peat soil, whereas at EIOY, such a regulatory system has been lost due to advanced soil degradation, leading to dynamic changes in the nitrogen cycle in shallow soil.展开更多

Ni and Cd is one of the important II-VI semiconducting materials with a direct band gap of 3.26 eV which finds applications in electrical conductivity and photo-catalysis. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by BET, UV-VIS, XRD, FE-SEM (EDAX) techniques. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) reveals crystallite size to be 23.22 nm which was calculated using Williamson-Hall (W-H) plot method. The energy of the band gap for CdS/NiS could be thus estimated to be 3.26 eV. The photocatalytic activity of the sample was evaluated by the degradation of textile dye methylene Blue (MB) in aqueous solutions under UV radiation. Hydrogen energy is regarded as a promising alternative in terms of energy conversion and storage. Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) was carried out in both visible light and UV light by using Hydrazine (N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O) in the presence of CdS/NiS nanocomposite. The synthesized photocatalyst shows applicable performance for kinetics of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) in Visible light and UV light. The decomposition of hydrazine (N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O) proceeded rapidly to generate free hydrogen rich gas through OH radical contact with CdS/NiS nanocomposite at room temperature. The rate of HER is limited by either proton adsorption onto an active site or evolution of formed hydrogen from the surface. A high Tafel slope is indicative of proton adsorption as the rate limiting step, while a lower Tafel slope (20 - 45 mV) indicates that the evolution of molecules hydrogen from the catalyst is rate limiting. In the present case the Tafel slopes for visible light 23.5 mV and 42.5 mV for UV light. Blank experiments show poor activity for HER <em>i.e.</em> 10.1 - 13.5 mV.展开更多

It is often used as a saturated two-phase fluid in these applications to take advantage of self-pressurization. Recent interest in using this oxidizer in regeneratively cooled engines requires a detailed heat transfer process analysis to the coolant, in order to quantify performance. Since the injection of N2O typically takes place in the two-phase region, our study focuses on heat transfer rates in this region, and extends the region to include superheated vapor. This analysis is critical for these cooling applications, because the exothermic decomposition nature of N2O also means that unchecked heating in the superheated region may result in a runaway reaction in the cooling passages. Furthermore, provided that sufficient heat transfer rates are available, N2O is expected to accelerate in the cooling passages due to Rayleigh flow effects much like those of a calorically perfect gas. The proximity of superheated N2O to its saturated vapor curve, at the conditions studied here, makes the suitability of a perfect gas model questionable, but that benchmarks is still useful. This paper presents the development of an experimental apparatus (a "Rayleigh tube"), specifically designed to study this problem, and test the analytical methods developed to model it. Since we focus on the development of the apparatus, the data presented were uses primarily calorically perfect gas surrogates, but the goal is to apply the apparatus and method to N2O. The design and construction of the Rayleigh tube is presented, along with preliminary results with perfect gases. Finally, we present preliminary results on heated N2O flow. Using a simple model for predicted dry-out point, we investigate where superheating may be expected to occur. We present estimates of critical heating and compare them to the heat required to achieve self-decomposition.展开更多

文摘We study the photodissociation dynamics of nitrous oxide using the time-sliced ion veloc- ity imaging technique at three photolysis wavelengths of 134.20, 135.30, and 136.43 nm. The O(^1Sj=0)+N2(XI∑g+) product channels were investigated by measuring images of the O(iSj=0) products. Vibrational states of N2(XI∑g+) products were fully resolved in the images. Product total kinetic energy releases (TKER) and the branching ratios of vibrational states of N2 products were determined. It is found that the most populated vibrational states of N2 products are v--2 and v--3. The angular anisotropy parameters (8 values) were also derived. The β values are very close to 2 at low vibrational states of the correlated N2 (X1 ∑g+) products at all three photolysis wavelengths, and gradually decrease to about 1.4 at v--7. This indicates the dissociation is mainly through a parallel transition state to form products at lower vibrational states, and the highly vibrational exited products are from a more bent configuration. This is consistent with the observed shift of the most intense rotational structure in the TKER as the vibrational quantum number increases.

文摘Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods to catalyze the decomposition of N 2O. The catalysts prepared by hydrothermal method showed higher activity. Among the hydrothermal Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts, the catalyst with Nd/Co molar ratio of 0.01 had higher activity. 0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 catalyst was then impregnated by K 2CO 3 solution to prepare K-modified catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electrons microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H 2-TPR), and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O 2-TPD). The results show that Nd-Co 3O 4 and K-modified catalysts exhibit spinel structure. In contrast to bare Nd-Co 3O 4, the K-modified catalyst with higher activity is due to its weaker strength of Co-O bond and easier desorption of surface oxygen species. In addition, over 90% conversion of N 2O can be reached over 0.02K/0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 at 350 ℃ for 40 h under the co-presence of oxygen and steam in feed gases.

文摘Five Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were obtained by treating Na-ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratio = 15) with aqueous solutions of differ- ent Cu precursors (CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4, Cu(CH3COO)2, and ammoniacal copper (II) complex ion). After being pretreated in flowing He at 500 ℃ to form active Cu+, these catalysts exhibited quite different activities in cata- lytic decomposition of N2O. CZM-AC(II) (prepared by ammoniacal copper (II) complex ion) with 9.4 wt% Cu con- tent was the most active among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving almost complete N2I conversion at 400 ℃. CZM-CA (prepared using Cu( CH3COO)2 as the Cu precursor) with 2.8 wt% Cu content was the second most active catalyst among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving almost complete N2I conversion at 425 ℃. CZM-CC, CZM- CN, and CZM-CS prepared by using CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, or CuSO4 as the Cu precursor with similar Cu contents (≈1.7 wt%) were the least active among these Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts, achieving ca. 90% N2O conversion at 500 ℃. XRD, ICP, SEM, TEM, EDX-mapping, and CO-IR experiments were conducted to characterize relevant samples. The superior activity of CZM-AC(II) can be attributed to the high contents of total Cu+ and dimeric Cu+ among these samples. The influence of co-fed O2 or H2O on the catalytic performance of typical samples was also studied.

文摘With focus on investigating the effect of combustor scale on the conversion of fuel-N to NOx and N20, experiments are carried out in three combustors, including single coal particle combustion test rig, laboratory scale circulating fluidized-bed boiler (CFB) and full scale CFB in this work. For single coal particle combustion, the majority of f-uel-N (65%-82%) is released as NOx, while only a little (less than 8%) fuel-N yields N20. But in labora- tory scale CFB, the conversion of fuel-N to N20 is increases, but the conversion of fuel-N to NOx is quite less than that of single coal particle combustion. This is because much char in CFB can promote the NOx reduction by in- creasing N20 formation. In full scale CFB, both of the conversion of fuel-N to NOx and the conversion of fuel-N to N20 are smaller than laboratory scale CFB.

文摘A split-plot experiment in a rice-winter wheat rotation system was performed to study the effects of water regime and wheat straw application in rice-growing season on N2O emission from following wheat growing season. Water regime in the rice-growing season was designed as the conventional irrigation (flooding/drainage cycle) and the permanent flooding. Wheat straw was incorporated with three rates of 0, 225 and 450 g m-2 into the paddy soil for each water regime just before rice was transplanted. N2O emission was measured by static chamber-gas chromatograph method. Results from the variance analysis indicated that the permanent flooding in rice-growing season markedly enhanced N2O emission in following wheat growing season (P=0. 003), and that the effect of straw application on N2O emission was distinguished between two water regimes. Under the conventional irrigation, incoporation of wheat straw reduced N2O emission in the following wheat growing season, while there were no significant differences in the emission for the straw application rates of 225 and 450 g m-2. No significant differences in N2O emissions were observed among the three rates of straw application for the permanent flooding regime. In addition, the seasonal variation of N2O emission was regulated by soil temperature and moisture. The daily N2O flux (Y, mg m-2 d-1) can be quantitatively described by soil temperature (T, ℃) and moisture (W, WFPS %) asY=A0+A1T+A2W+A3W2(n=23, R2 ≥0. 4159** )or y=C0+C1W+C2W2(n=23,R2≥0. 4074** ). Compared with the effect of soil temperature on N2O emission, soil moisture was an important factor regulating the seasonal pattern of N2O emission.

文摘Regarding the research on alternatives for monopropellant hydrazine, several so called green propellants are currently under investigation or qualification. Aside others, the DLR Institute of Space Propulsion investigates a N20/C2I-I4 premixed green propellant. During the research activities, flashback from the rocket combustion chamber into the feeding system has been identified as a major challenge when using the propellant mixture. This paper shows the results of ignition experiments conducted in a cylindrical, optical accessible ignition chamber. During the ignition and flame propagation process, pressure, temperature and high-speed video data were collected. The high speed video data were used to analyze the flame propagation speed. The obtained propagation speed was about 20 rn/s at ignition, while during further propagation of the flame speeds of up to 120 m/s were measured. Additionally, two different porous materials as flame arresting elements were tested: Porous stainless steel and porous bronze material. For both materials Peclet numbers for flashback were derived. The critical Peclet number for the sintered bronze material was around 20, while for the sintered stainless steel the critical Peclet number seems to be larger than 40. Due to the test results, sintered porous materials seem to be suitable as flashback arresters.

文摘Si2N2O ceramics were prepared using amorphous Si3N4 as the raw material and Li2CO3 as the sintering additive through vacuum multi-stage sintering.The influence of the Li2CO3 addition(0%,1%,2%,3%,and 5%,by mass)on the phase composition,the microstructure,the porosity,the mechanical properties,the dielectric constant and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the porous Si2N2O ceramics was investigated.The results reveal that a suitable addition of Li2CO3 can promote the generation of Si2N2O but excessive or inadequate Li2CO3 causes decomposition of Si2N2O ceramics.The prepared porous Si2N2O ceramics have good mechanical properties,good thermal shock resistance,and low dielectric properties,which have excellent potential for application in microwave sintering furnaces.
文摘The ozone occurs naturally in the atmosphere and presents a filter of protection, absorbing the radiations wavelengths lower than 310 nm. The industrial generation of ozone is the classical application of the non-equilibrium air plasmas at the atmospheric pressure. A low temperature is needed because the ozone quickly decays at the high temperature. This study is based on a temporal kinetic model for the production of ozone. The chemical kinetics take into account 96 reactions with 19 species atomic and molecular created in the discharge. In this work, the model allows to calculate the temporal evolution of neutral, ionized and excited species concentrations in plasma. The results show the influence of the kinetic on the ozone production yield and on the gas heating by Joule effect.
文摘Tropical peat swamp forest beds that have been reclaimed for agricultural use are generally an active source of nitrous oxide (N2O) efflux, however, the mechanism by which reclaimed tropical peat soils promote the emergence of N2O emitters in soil microbial communities remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to reveal the vertical distribution of N2O emission potential and its correlation with mineral nitrogen contents in reclaimed soils. Using a culture-based N2O emission assay, the N2O emission potentials of soil at various depths (0-450 cm) were investigated in two oil palm plantations in Sarawak, Malaysia, which had elapsed times of two years (E2Y) and 10 years (El 0Y) after deforestation, respectively. On the basis of the relationship between the vertical profiles of N2O emission potentials and the contents of mineralized nitrogen in the peat soils at various depths, the impact of land management on soil microbial communities was discussed. The peat soil at plantation site E2Y showed a trend of high N2O production in deep layers (200-400 cm), whereas the older plantation site E10Y showed considerably more active N2O emission in shallow soil (10-50 cm). N2O emission potentials among the soil microbial communities at different soil depths at the E10Y site showed positive correlations with NO3- and NH4+ contents, whereas, soils obtained from the E2Y site had N2O emission potentials that were inversely proportional to the contents of NO3-. This contrasting vertical correlation between N2O-emitting potentials and mineralized nitrogen contents in bulk soils suggests that active N2O emission in deep soil at the E2Y site has maintained the original carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of the peat soil, whereas at EIOY, such a regulatory system has been lost due to advanced soil degradation, leading to dynamic changes in the nitrogen cycle in shallow soil.
文摘CdS/NiS nanocomposites were synthesized by electrochemical method. Ni and Cd is one of the important II-VI semiconducting materials with a direct band gap of 3.26 eV which finds applications in electrical conductivity and photo-catalysis. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by BET, UV-VIS, XRD, FE-SEM (EDAX) techniques. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) reveals crystallite size to be 23.22 nm which was calculated using Williamson-Hall (W-H) plot method. The energy of the band gap for CdS/NiS could be thus estimated to be 3.26 eV. The photocatalytic activity of the sample was evaluated by the degradation of textile dye methylene Blue (MB) in aqueous solutions under UV radiation. Hydrogen energy is regarded as a promising alternative in terms of energy conversion and storage. Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) was carried out in both visible light and UV light by using Hydrazine (N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O) in the presence of CdS/NiS nanocomposite. The synthesized photocatalyst shows applicable performance for kinetics of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) in Visible light and UV light. The decomposition of hydrazine (N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O) proceeded rapidly to generate free hydrogen rich gas through OH radical contact with CdS/NiS nanocomposite at room temperature. The rate of HER is limited by either proton adsorption onto an active site or evolution of formed hydrogen from the surface. A high Tafel slope is indicative of proton adsorption as the rate limiting step, while a lower Tafel slope (20 - 45 mV) indicates that the evolution of molecules hydrogen from the catalyst is rate limiting. In the present case the Tafel slopes for visible light 23.5 mV and 42.5 mV for UV light. Blank experiments show poor activity for HER <em>i.e.</em> 10.1 - 13.5 mV.
文摘N2O represents a popular oxidizer for hybrid rocket motors for a variety of reasons, including safety, ease of access and self-pressurization. It is often used as a saturated two-phase fluid in these applications to take advantage of self-pressurization. Recent interest in using this oxidizer in regeneratively cooled engines requires a detailed heat transfer process analysis to the coolant, in order to quantify performance. Since the injection of N2O typically takes place in the two-phase region, our study focuses on heat transfer rates in this region, and extends the region to include superheated vapor. This analysis is critical for these cooling applications, because the exothermic decomposition nature of N2O also means that unchecked heating in the superheated region may result in a runaway reaction in the cooling passages. Furthermore, provided that sufficient heat transfer rates are available, N2O is expected to accelerate in the cooling passages due to Rayleigh flow effects much like those of a calorically perfect gas. The proximity of superheated N2O to its saturated vapor curve, at the conditions studied here, makes the suitability of a perfect gas model questionable, but that benchmarks is still useful. This paper presents the development of an experimental apparatus (a "Rayleigh tube"), specifically designed to study this problem, and test the analytical methods developed to model it. Since we focus on the development of the apparatus, the data presented were uses primarily calorically perfect gas surrogates, but the goal is to apply the apparatus and method to N2O. The design and construction of the Rayleigh tube is presented, along with preliminary results with perfect gases. Finally, we present preliminary results on heated N2O flow. Using a simple model for predicted dry-out point, we investigate where superheating may be expected to occur. We present estimates of critical heating and compare them to the heat required to achieve self-decomposition.
