Interaction of ions in water system containing copper-zinc alloy for boiler energy saving

Copper-zinc alloy element for boiler energy saving was put in the intake of simulated boiler system to investigate the interaction and transfer of ions in water system both theoretically and experimentally.The fouling was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray detector(EDX).The results show that the transfer of calcium and magnesium ions in heat-transfer-surface-water system is affected by zinc ions dissolved from the alloy because of primary battery reaction.Some calcium ions of calcium carbonate crystal are replaced by zinc ions,the growth of aragonite crystal nucleus is retarded,and the transition of calcium carbonate from aragonite to calcite is hampered.

超临界燃煤锅炉“螺旋-垂直”水冷壁水动力计算研究

超临界大容量、高参数锅炉是我国燃煤发电的重要发展趋势,主流的超临界锅炉大多采用螺旋-垂直型水冷壁,但其水动力特性及流量分配引起的运行事故常有发生。针对某典型的螺旋-垂直型水冷壁,根据水动力流动网络系统,结合质量和动量守恒进行水动力建模计算。根据锅炉水冷壁结构划分了流量回路,设置了压力节点,分段进行了阻力系数和流量计算,螺旋管中阻力系数越大,流量越小;而垂直水冷壁中阻力系数最大的管路(81~90回路)流量最少,阻力最小值在50~55号回路,但是后墙的流量较多,导致流量最大值在第71号回路。对于流量最小的水冷壁管路,容易造成超温爆管等问题,可适当增加管径,在安装过程中避免较大的焊瘤,从而保证锅炉运行安全。

The diffusive fluxes of inorganic nitrogen across the intertidal sediment-water interface of the Changjiang Estuary in China

Ammonium and nitrate concentrations were analyzed in near-bottom water and pore water collected from ten stations of the intertidal flat of the Changjiang Estuary during April, July, November and February. The magnitudes of the benthic exchange fluxes were determined on the basis of concentration gradients of ammonium and nitrate at the near-bottom water and interstitial water interface in combination with calculations of a modified Fick＇ s first law. Ammonium fluxes varied from - 5.05 to 1.43 μg/（ cm^2·d） and were greatly regulated by the production of ammonium in surface sediments, while nitrate fluxes ranged from - 0. 38 to 1.36 μg/ （ cm^2·d） and were dominated by nitrate concentrations in the tidal water. It was found that ammonium was mainly released from sediments into water columns at most of stations whereas nitrate was mostly diffused from overlying waters to intertidal sediments. In total, 823.75 t/a ammonium-N was passed from intertidal sediments to water while about 521.90 t/a nitrate-N was removed from overlying waters to intertidal sediments. This suggests that intertidal sediments had the significant influence on modulating inorganic nitrogen in the tidal water.

Using irrigation intervals to optimize water-use efficiency and maize yield in Xinjiang,northwest China

Worldwide, scarce water resources and substantial food demands require efficient water use and high yield.This study investigated whether irrigation frequency can be used to adjust soil moisture to increase grain yield and water use efficiency(WUE) of high-yield maize under conditions of mulching and drip irrigation.A field experiment was conducted using three irrigation intervals in 2016: 6, 9, and 12 days(labeled D6, D9, and D12) and five irrigation intervals in 2017: 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days(D3, D6, D9, D12, and D15).In Xinjiang, an optimal irrigation quota is 540 mm for high-yield maize.The D3, D6, D9, D12, and D15 irrigation intervals gave grain yields of 19.7, 19.1–21.0, 18.8–20.0, 18.2–19.2, and 17.2 Mg ha^-1 and a WUE of 2.48, 2.53–2.80, 2.47–2.63, 2.34–2.45, and 2.08 kg m-3, respectively.Treatment D6 led to the highest soil water storage, but evapotranspiration and soil-water evaporation were lower than other treatments.These results show that irrigation interval D6 can help maintain a favorable soil-moisture environment in the upper-60-cm soil layer, reduce soilwater evaporation and evapotranspiration, and produce the highest yield and WUE.In this arid region and in other regions with similar soil and climate conditions, a similar irrigation interval would thus be beneficial for adjusting soil moisture to increase maize yield and WUE under conditions of mulching and drip irrigation.

Layer regrouping for water-flooded commingled reservoirs at a high water-cut stage

Layer regrouping is to divide all the layers into several sets of production series according to the physical properties and recovery percent of layers at high water-cut stage, which is an important technique to improve oil recovery for high water-cut multilayered reservoirs. Dif- ferent regroup scenarios may lead to different production performances. Based on unstable oil-water flow theory, a multilayer commingled reservoir simulator is established by modifying the production split method. Taking into account the differences of layer properties, including per- meability, oil viscosity, and remaining oil saturation, the pseudo flow resistance contrast is proposed to serve as a characteristic index of layer regrouping for high water-cut multilayered reservoirs. The production indices of multi- layered reservoirs with different pseudo flow resistances are predicted with the established model in which the data are taken from the Shengtuo Oilfield. Simulation results show that the pseudo flow resistance contrast should be less than 4 when the layer regrouping is implemented. The K-means clustering method, which is based on the objec- tive function, is used to automatically carry out the layer regrouping process according to pseudo flow resistances. The research result is applied to the IV-VI sand groups of the second member of the Shahejie Formation in the Shengtuo Oilfield, a favorable development performance is obtained, and the oil recovery is enhanced by 6.08 %.

Effects of Different NH_4^+/NO_3^- Ratio and Water Condition on Physiological Characteristics of Rice Seedlings

[Objective] This study aimed to further explore the dynamics of related physiological indexes of rice seedlings under different NH4＋ /NO3- ratio and different water condition. [Method] Under the hydroponic condition in laboratory, 3 NH4＋/NO3- ratios （0/100, 50/50 and 100/0） and 2 water conditions （＋PEG,-PEG） were designed for Fengliangyou 7203. [Result] The root-canopy ratio of rice seedlings increased under any of the NH4＋/NO3- ratios and water conditions. Under water stress, the root-canopy ratio of rice seedlings changed most greatly at the NH4＋/NO3- ratio of 0/ 100; the overall water potential of rice seedlings reached the lowest at the NH4＋/ NO3- ratio of 100/0; and the changes of water potential and xylem flow pH were relatively stable at the NH4＋/NO3- ratio of 50/50. Under the condition of no water stress, the growth of rice seedlings was best at the NH4＋/NO3- ratio of 50/50, followed by the NH4＋/NO3- ratios of 0/100 and 100/0. [Conclusion] This study will pro- vide a basis for understanding the relationship between water potential and xylem flow.

Water-Deficit Response Is Not Affected by Glutathione Deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana pad2-1 Plants

Changes in glutathione and ascorbate content, hydrogen peroxide and abscisic acid were studied in developing leaves in wild-type (Col-0) and glutathione-deficient mutant pad2-1 lines of Arabidopsis thaliana over a time period of 9 days of drought followed by re-watering. Glutathione deficient mutant (pad2-1) presents mechanisms of acclimation to water stress through the reduction of plant biomass and increase in endogenous concentrations of ascorbate and glutathione. These acclimation responses to stress appeared along with the first symptoms of stress and we suggest here that they are regulated by ABA and H2O2. Normally, wild type plants under conditions of stress require an initial response phase in which a decrease in antioxidants is observed before reaching acclimation through the increase in levels of antioxidants. pad2-1 is more sensitive to stress and reacts to it;however, it did not suffer more oxidative stress than Col-0 plants, even though pad2-1 had higher levels of endogenous H2O2 relative to wild-type. In both water stressed Col-0 and pad2-1 plants increases in ABA were observed, however, more sharply in wild-type stressed plants. Low levels of glutathione together with high levels of H2O2 may regulate endogenous ABA concentrations and could be related to the slow growth rates which were observed during the experiment. The results highlighted the double function of glutathione as an antioxidant and signal molecule and also, the different response patterns of wild-type and pad2-1 when faced with drought stress. The results bring new insights to the responses of pad2-1 under conditions of water stress.

Water and nitrogen transport characteristics of single-line interference infiltration under film hole irrigation with muddy water and fertilizer

Based on the experimental data,this study investigated the effect of sand content of muddy water on water and nitrogen transport characteristics of the single-line interference infiltration under film hole irrigation with muddy water and fertilizer.The relationship between the single-line interference infiltration parameters,the sand content,the wetting front movement distances,and the sand content were all established.The model of the cumulative infiltration volume of per unit film pore area,the vertical and horizontal wetting front movement distance of the free surface,and the wetting front movement distance of the interference center with sand content and infiltration time were proposed.Reveal the law of the change of soil water content and the distribution of NO_(3)^(-)-N content based on different muddy water sand content.The results indicate that at the same infiltration time,as the muddy water sand content increases,the cumulative infiltration volume per unit pore area decreases.The infiltration index of the free infiltration and the single-line interference vary little when the sand content increases,mainly are around 0.64 and 0.58.The relationship between infiltration parameters a,b and the sand content is linear function.At the same location,the more the sand content,the smaller the wetting front movement distance in free surface and the single-line interference surface,the less the NO_(3)^(-)-N content.

Isobaric Vapor–Liquid Equilibrium for tert-Butyl Alcohol + Water + Propane-1,3-Diol + 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride at 101.3 kPa

In this study, we used a mixture of organic liquid propane-1,3-diol and ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride([emim]Cl) as the entrainer to separate tert-butyl alcohol(TBA) + water. We measured the isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE) for the quaternary system TBA + water + propane-1,3-diol + [emim]Cl at 101.3 kPa, and found the VLE data to be well correlated with the nonrandom two-liquid model. These results show that the mixed solvent of propane-1,3-diol + [emim]Cl can increase the relative volatility of TBA to water and break the azeotropic point. We found no notable synergetic effect between them, and observed that the liquid mixed solvent of propane-1,3-diol and [emim]Cl had lower viscosity than [emim]Cl, which makes it a promising entrainer for separating the TBA + water azeotrope in industrial applications.

水冷壁高温腐蚀原因分析

通过宏观分析、显微组织观察、扫描电镜与能谱成分分析和X射线衍射分析,对某电厂水冷壁向火侧进行高温腐蚀原因分析。结果表明:由于该锅炉采用四角切圆燃烧方式导致水冷壁局部高温;复合空气分级低NO_(x)燃烧系统导致部分燃烧器区域处于贫氧还原性气氛,使烟气中CO+H_(2)S浓度过高;锅炉入炉煤硫份超过设计值较多,形成高浓度的H_(2)S和SO_(2);水冷壁向火侧腐蚀以硫腐蚀为主。针对该锅炉水冷壁高温腐蚀问题,给出以下建议:控制入炉煤硫份,降低煤中的硫元素含量,减少H_(2)S和SO_(2)浓度;燃烧优化调整,采用侧边风技术,向炉膛内通入空气,降低水冷壁高温腐蚀区域的还原性气氛浓度,增加局部含氧量;在高温腐蚀严重的区域,对其水冷壁管进行防高温腐蚀喷涂处理,以增强其抗高温腐蚀性能。
