Optimization of Preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L by Chemical Co-Precipitation and Its Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions

To address the serious pollution of heavy metals in AMD,the difficulty and the high cost of treatment,Fe_(3)O_(4)-L was prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method.Based on the single-factor and RSM,the effects of particle size,total Fe concentration,the molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)and water bath temperature on the removal of AMD by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared by chemical co-precipitation method were analyzed.Static adsorption experiments were conducted on Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)using Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared under optimal conditions as adsorbents.The adsorption properties and mechanisms were analyzed by combining SEM-EDS,XRD and FTIR for characterization.The study showed that the effects of particle size,total Fe concentration and the molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)are larger.Obtained by response surface optimization analysis,the optimum conditions for the preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L were a particle size of 250 mesh,a total Fe concentration of 0.5 mol/L,and a molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)of 1:2.Under these conditions,the removal rates of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+),and Pb^(2+)were 94.52%,88.49%,and 96.69%respectively.The adsorption of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared under optimal conditions reached equilibrium at 180 min,with removal rates of 99.99%,85.27%,and 97.48%,respectively.The adsorption reaction of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L for Cu^(2+)and Zn^(2+)is endothermic,while that for Pb^(2+)is exothermic.Fe_(3)O_(4)-L can still maintain a high adsorption capacity after five cycles of adsorption-desorption experiments.Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)mainly exist as CuFe_(2)O_(4),Zn(OH)2,ZnFe_(2)O_(4)and PbS after being adsorbed by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L,which is the result of the combination of physical diffusion,ion exchange and surface complexation reaction.

Study on Assessment of Mine Environments

Mine environmental evaluation is the key to mine environmental study. On the basis of the characteristics of the mine environmental problems, they are classified into （1） three wastes problem, （2） ground distortion, （3） contradiction among mine drainage, water supply, ecological environment, （4） desertification, and （5） soil erosion. The evaluation is the basis of mine environmental problem classification and investigation, mine environmental rehabilitation, and the information system constructed can be used for subsequent research of evaluation techniques. A synthetic assessment of the 5 kinds of mine environmental problems can be divided into single-factor or multi-factor synthetic assessments; while by the viewpoint of time, the mine environmental assessment can be classified as the historical assessment, the current status assessment and the forecasting assessment.

Recycle use of phosphorous mixer extractant to extract indium

The stripping and regeneration of the loaded organic phase of phosphorousmixer extractant (PPD) were studied. The mixed solutions (3 mol/L HCl +2 mol/L ZnC1_2) were used asthe stripping agent and more than 99 percent of indium can be stripped after three-stage strippingwhen the volume ratio of organic phase to stripping agent is 1:1. The organic phase can he recycledto use alter regeneration with HCl. The parallel contrast experiments with D_2EHPA (di-2-ethyl hexylphosphoric acid) were carried out under the same conditions. The results show that the mixerextractant has good reusability and the stripping and regeneration of PPD are superior to those ofD_2EHPA.

Treatment of the High Concentration Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEOs) Wastewater by Fenton Oxidation Process

The Fenton oxidation process was applied in the treatment of an actual high concentration nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEOs) wastewater. The effects of H2O2 dosage, molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+ (Fe2+ dosage), pH value and reaction time on the degradation of NPEOs were investigated. The orthogonal experiment indicated that the order of degree of influence on the COD removal was molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+, reaction time, dosage of H2O2, and initial pH. The single-factor tests were carried out to determine the optimal conditions, and the results were H2O2 dosage of 76.32 mmol/L, molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+ of 3, pH value of 5 and reaction time of 2 h. Under the optimum operation conditions, the COD removal efficiency was 85.6% and the effluent could be mixed with other wastewater into the large-scale biological treatment system.

Optimal flight parameters of unmanned helicopter for tea plantation frost protection

To determine proper flight parameters of an unmanned helicopter for tea plantation frost protection,field experiments were conducted to study the impact of flight height,speed and interval on airflow disturbance and temperature rise around tea canopies based on the analysis and simulation of frost protection with a certain helicopter.The relationship between temperature rise after flight and the above flight parameters was established through a regression orthogonal experiment,based on which the optimal combination of flight parameters was obtained through the single-factor golden section method.The results showed that wind speed around tea canopies decreased with the increase of flight height when flight speed was constant.There was a multivariate linear relationship between temperature rise and flight parameters,and the sequence of flight parameters’influence on frost protection effect was flight interval,flight height,flight speed.The optimal combination of flight parameters were flight height of 4.0 m,flight speed of 6.0 m/s and flight interval of 20 min.After the flight with the above parameters air temperature around tea canopies increased 1.6℃ when background thermal inversion strength was 3.8℃.

Model Integration: A Case Study of Integrative Computations of Hybrid Models to Assess Water Quality of River

Process integration method is used to establish a composite model to perform computations of hybrid models for water quality assessment of Haihe River, and a resolution is presented to clear the long-term obscurity about the differences between single-factor assessment(SFA) and multifactor assessment(MFA) of water quality in this paper. Symbolic models were introduced to describe the types and orders of computations involved in SFA and such MFAs as Nemerow comprehensive index(NCI) and fuzzy comprehensive assessment(FCA). Facilitated by paired t-tests, the composite model of absolute distance(AD) was established to test the differences between SFA and MFAs on four water quality indicators(WQI). Matlab(R14) programs for these models were developed to perform integrative computations on 3 217 batches of water data obtained from seven monitoring sites of Haihe River from 2008 to 2017. Paired t-tests show that results of our SFA model(SFA-4) are not significantly different(p=0.926) from that of SFA based on all WQI, however, extremely significantly different from results of NCI(p=0) and FCA(p=0). SFA-4 is proved by AD model to be farther away from FCA(AD-S→F=1.075) than from NCI(AD-S→N=0.634). More than proving the deduction of SFA≥NCI≥FCA in most cases(p=0.885), the results from AD show that MFAs approach SFA when surface water becomes good(SFA=1) or worst(SFA=6), whereas depart to the farthest distance from SFA when surface water becomes worse(SFA=3). To sum up, the integrative computations involved in AD model on the water data are effective and efficient(improved by 44.2%). Furthermore, AD model shows the differences between SFA and MFAs clearly.
