One-Stage Technology for Production of Concentrated Ethylene Glycol-Water Solutions （Automotive Antifreeze）

The reactor unit for one-stage technology for production of concentrated ethylene glycol-water solutions is described.Such solutions could be useful for production of automotive antifreezes. The technology is based on the highly selective hydration ofethylene oxide in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst-anion-exchange resin in HCO3-/CO/3/2-_form. The mathematical model of reactor allowed evaluating of economical benefit in comparison with conventional method.

Topology Chemical Process Research on the Condensing and Growing Phase Multi Micro Oil Droplets Based on Hydrodynamics

The hydrodynamic research about the droplet condensing of the multi phase liquid state on the surface of the coal glass and water discusses the deepening process of convex shape curve and the formation of S shape, and puts emphasis on describing the diagram formation method of the later. In the induction period the active diagram of the micro droplet is decided by pH value forming as convex shape diagram or S shape diagram. When pH value is above 4.0, the damage of convex shape diagram cannot be recovered, in that case produce S shape activity diagram. When pH value is equal to or above 12.0, the hard surface with alkali liquid state loses adhesion, so that the micro droplet condensing of the multi phase liquid state stops completely. The research result shows that the water cleaning conditions of getting rid of the oil micro droplets can be decided by the pH value.

Influence of Pt/Pd state on ceria-based support in CO oxidation

Noble metal(M:Pt,Pd,PtPd) supported on ceria system catalysts were investigated.The oxidized and reduced forms of the active component were examined in CO oxidation.All catalysts become more active after a reduction pretreatment,which shifts the temperature of CO oxidation.Analysis of the data obtained from characterization techniques indicates that the strong interaction of metal ions with the support prevent the reduction of the initial MO_(x)to metallic M.The formation of M-ceria interfaces efficiently boosts the oxygen activation during CO oxidation,leading to the formation of chemisorbed O on M and the regeneration of the ceria lattice oxygen,thus greatly improving the catalytic performance.

Emulsification for castor biomass oil

The effect of the emulsifier formula on the stability of castor oil-water system was studied through compounding three groups of emulsifiers from the aspects of stability factor of absorbance,centrifuge stability,demulsification time in quiescence,appearance of the droplets,and viscosity.The best emulsifier formula for castor biomass oil was the composite formula of sorbitan monooleate and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate.Correlation exists between the stability of emulsion and the viscosity/particle size of the droplets,with better stability in the case of greater viscosity or narrower distribution of particle size in the emulsion of castor oil-water system.Methanol added to the castor oil-water system may decrease the viscosity of the emulsion.Comparing the castor oil-water emulsion with methanol-castor oil-water emulsion,the optimal hydrophilic and lipophilic balance(HLB)value based on castor oil-water system was acquired between 6.6 and 7.5,while the optimal HLB value based on the methanol-castor oil-water system was between 5.5 and 6.0.The optimal HLB value of methanolcastor oil-water system gradually moved to that of castor oil-water emulsion with adding more water.
