O2/CO2气氛添加CaCO3对徐州烟煤PM2.5排放的影响

采用管式炉研究了在O2/CO2气氛下添加CaCO3对PM2.5(空气动力学直径小于2.5,μm的颗粒物)排放特性的影响.试验采用荷电低压撞击器(ELPI)采集和分析燃烧后的PM2.5.结果表明,添加CaCO3是燃烧过程中影响PM2.5生成的重要因素.添加CaCO3后,生成PM1的数密度和质量浓度均降低,而PM1-2.5的数密度和质量浓度均略有增加,PM2.5粒径分布均呈双峰分布,峰值点分别出现在0.2,μm和2.0,μm左右.随着CaCO3添加质量分数的增加,PM2.5中的S、Pb、Cu、Na和K几种元素的浓度呈下降趋势.     

O2/CO2和O2/N2氛围下煤粉富氧燃烧数值模拟

在目前煤炭依然作为能源主体的背景下，控制燃煤污染物排放有着重要意义。基于CFD数值模拟，建立伴流燃烧器模型，控制燃料、氧化剂入口流量恒定，设计了O₂/CO₂、O₂/N₂氧化剂氛围中O₂浓度在21%～40%内的多种工况，对煤粉燃烧特性及燃烧产生的污染物进行了研究。分析了不同工况下煤粉燃烧的温度分布、燃烧速率、碳烟、NO_x的生成情况。结果显示，在O₂/CO₂、O₂/N₂两种氧化剂氛围中，随着O₂浓度的上升，煤粉燃烧温度升高、燃烧速率增大，碳烟生成量均增加，同等O2浓度条件下，O₂/CO₂氛围的煤粉燃烧温度和燃烧速率均高于O₂/N₂氛围，碳烟生成量小于O₂/N₂氛围，且O₂/CO₂...     

Adiabatic burning velocity of H2–O2 mixtures diluted with CO2/N2/Ar

Global warming due to CO₂ emissions has led to the projection of hydrogen as an important fuel for future. A lot of research has been going on to design combustion appliances for hydrogen as fuel. This has necessitated fundamental research on combustion characteristics of hydrogen fuel. In this work, a combination of experiments and computational simulations was employed to study the effects of diluents (CO₂, N₂, and Ar) on the laminar burning velocity of premixed hydrogen/oxygen flames using the heat flux method. The experiments were conducted to measure laminar burning velocity for a range of equivalence ratios at atmospheric pressure and temperature (300 K) with reactant mixtures containing varying concentrations of CO₂, N₂, and Ar as diluents. Measured burning velocities were compared with computed results obtained from one-dimensional laminar premixed flame code PREMIX with detailed chemical kinetics and good agreement was obtained. The effectiveness of diluents in reduction of laminar burning velocity for a given diluent concentration is in the increasing order of argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide. This may be due to increased capabilities either to quench the reaction zone by increased specific heat or due to reduced transport rates. The lean and stoichiometric H₂/O₂/CO₂ flames with 65% CO₂ dilution exhibited cellular flame structures. Detailed three-dimensional simulation was performed to understand lean H₂/O₂/CO₂ cellular flame structure and cell count from computed flame matched well with the experimental cellular flame.     

Oxidative steam reforming of ethanol over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts promoted by CeO2, ZrO2 and CeO2–ZrO2

Oxidative steam reforming of ethanol at low oxygen to ethanol ratios was investigated over nickel catalysts on Al₂O₃ supports that were either unpromoted or promoted with CeO₂, ZrO₂ and CeO₂–ZrO₂. The promoted catalysts showed greater activity and a higher hydrogen yield than the unpromoted catalyst. The characterization of the Ni-based catalysts promoted with CeO₂ and/or ZrO₂ showed that the variations induced in the Al₂O₃ by the addition of CeO₂ and/or ZrO₂ alter the catalyst's properties by enhancing Ni dispersion and reducing Ni particle size. The promoters, especially CeO₂–ZrO₂, improved catalytic activity by increasing the H₂ yield and the CO₂/CO and the H₂/CO values while decreasing coke formation. This results from the addition of ZrO₂ into CeO₂. This promoter highlights the advantages of oxygen storage capacity and of mobile oxygen vacancies that increase the number of surface oxygen species. The addition of oxygen facilitates the reaction by regenerating the surface oxygenation of the promoters and by oxidizing surface carbon species and carbon-containing products.     

Rh promoted and ZrO2/Al2O3 supported Ni/Co based catalysts: High activity for CO2 reforming,steam–CO2 reforming and oxy–CO2 reforming of CH4

Ni (2.5 wt%) and Co (2.5 wt%) supported over ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ were prepared by following a hydrolytic co-precipitation method. The synthesized catalysts were further promoted by Rh incorporation (0.01–1.00 wt%) and tested for their catalytic performance for dry CO₂ reforming, combined steam–CO₂ reforming and oxy–CO₂ reforming of methane for production of syngas. The catalysts were characterized by using N₂ physical adsorption, XRD, H₂–TPR, SEM, CO₂–TPD, NH₃–TPD, TEM and TGA. The results revealed that ZrO₂ phase was in crystalline form in the catalysts along with amorphous Al oxides. Ni and Co were confirmed to be in their respective spinel phases that were reducible to metallic form at 800 °C under H₂. Ni and Co were well dispersed with their nano-crystalline nature. The catalyst with 0.2% loading of Rh showed superior performance in the studied reactions for reforming of methane. This catalyst also showed good coke resistance ability for dry CO₂ reforming reaction with 3.8 wt% of carbon formation during the reaction as compared to 11.6 wt% carbon formation over the catalyst without Rh. The catalyst performance was stable throughout the reaction time for CH₄ conversions, irrespective of carbon formation with slight decline (～1%) in CO₂ conversion. For dry CO₂ reforming reaction, this catalyst showed good conversion for both CH₄ and CO₂ (67.6% and 71.8% respectively) with a H₂/CO ratio of 0.84, while for the Oxy-CO₂ reforming reaction, the activity was superior with CH₄ and CO₂ conversions (73.7% and 83.8% respectively) and H₂/CO ratio of 1.05.     

H2 and CH4 oxidation on Gd0.2Ce0.8O1.9 infiltrated SrMoO3–yttria-stabilized zirconia anode for solid oxide fuel cells

Strontium molybdate (SrMoO₃) as an electronic conductor was incorporated with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) to form an anode scaffold for solid oxide fuel cells. Gd_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.9 (GDC) nanoparticles were introduced by wet impregnation to complete the Ni-free GDC infiltrated SrMoO₃–YSZ anode fabrication. The effects of SrMoO₃ on the electrode conductivity and GDC infiltration on the catalytic activity were examined. A pronounced performance improvement was observed both on wet H₂ and CH₄ oxidation for the 56 wt.% GDC infiltrated SrMoO₃–YSZ. In particular, the polarization resistance decreased from 8 Ω cm² to 0.5 Ω cm² under wet H₂ (3% H₂O) at 800 °C with the introduction of GDC. Under wet CH₄ at 900 °C, a maximum power density of 160 mW cm⁻² was obtained and no carbon deposition was observed on the anode. It was found that the addition of H₂O in the anode caused an increase of electrode ohmic resistance and a decrease of open circuit voltage. Redox cycling stability was investigated and only a slight drop in cell performance was observed after 5 cycles. These results suggest that GDC infiltrated SrMoO₃–YSZ is a promising anode material for solid oxide fuel cells.     

O2/N2和O2/CO2气氛下煤半焦-生物质的混燃特性及影响因素

为掌握煤半焦与生物质在O₂/N₂和O₂/CO₂条件下的混燃特性及其影响因素,采用全自动物理化学吸附仪获得了煤半焦-生物质混合燃料的孔隙结构,采用热重实验分析了两种燃料的混燃特性和反应动力学,通过多元线性回归法研究了燃料比、比表面积与混燃特性参数之间的关系。结果表明,O₂/N₂气氛下,掺混生物质可改善煤半焦的着火、燃尽及综合燃烧特性;O₂/CO₂气氛下,掺混生物质能改善煤半焦的着火特性,但会延迟其燃尽。混燃的活化能在低温区和高温区有显著差异,生物质掺混比增大,两个温区的活化能都降低;两种气氛下,低温区的活化能相近,但O₂/CO₂气氛下高温区的活化能显著高于O₂/N₂气氛下的。O₂/N₂气氛下孔隙结构对燃烧特性的影响更显著,而O₂/CO₂气氛下...     

(La0.74Bi0.10Sr0.16)MnO3−δ–(Bi2O3)0.7(Er2O3)0.3 composite cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells

(La_0.74Bi_0.10Sr_0.16)MnO_3−δ (LBSM)–(Bi₂O₃)_0.7(Er₂O₃)_0.3(ESB) composite cathodes were fabricated for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells with Sc-stabilized zirconia as the electrolyte. The performance of these cathodes was investigated at temperatures below 750 °C by AC impedance spectroscopy and the results indicated that LBSM–ESB had a better performance than traditional composite electrodes such as LSM–GDC and LSM–YSZ. At 750 °C, the lowest interfacial polarization resistance was only 0.11 Ω cm² for the LBSM–ESB cathode, 0.49 Ω cm² for the LSM–GDC cathode, and 1.31 Ω cm² for the LSM–YSZ cathode. The performance of the cathode was improved gradually by increasing the ESB content, and the performance was optimal when the amounts of LBSM and ESB were equal in composite cathodes. This study shows that the sintering temperature of the cathode affected performance, and the optimum sintering temperature for LBSM–ESB was 900 °C.     

Li2CO3/Na2CO3/K2CO3及其混合熔融盐储热材料热物性分子动力学研究

对Li₂CO₃/Na₂CO₃/K₂CO₃及其二元和三元混合熔融盐的密度、比热容、黏度、热导率进行分子动力学模拟(MD),对比得出模拟结果与现有的实验数据和模拟值相近。结果表明：随着温度的升高,密度逐渐减小,离子之间的距离增加,导致对剪切应力的抵抗力变小,这说明单组分、二元和三元熔融盐黏度的负温度依赖性。对于熔融盐的热导率,单组分和二元熔融盐也呈现出负温度依赖性,而三元熔融盐趋势是随温度的升高呈上升状态。

基于介质阻挡放电理论设计一套低温等离子体(non-thermal plasmal,NTP)发生器。采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了钙钛矿催化剂La0.8K0.2MnO3(LKMO)和LaMnO3(LMO),并利用X射线衍射分析(X-ray diffraction,XRD)对其性能进行表征。通过柴油机台架试验,研究了NTP辅助LKMO和LMO催化对NOx的作用规律。研究结果表明:制备的催化剂形成了钙钛矿晶体结构,温度在200～350℃时,NTP辅助LMO只存在NO和NO2的吸附和脱附,而NOx总量未降低;在NTP辅助LKMO作用下,NOx浓度降低较明显,K元素的掺入提高了催化剂活性,且NTP提高了催化剂对NOx的去除效率。     

H2 and CO production over a stable Ni–MgO–Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst from CO2 reforming of CH4

Ni–Ce_0.8Zr_0.2O₂ and Ni–MgO–Ce_0.8Zr_0.2O₂ catalysts were investigated for H₂ production from CO₂ reforming of CH₄ reaction at a very high gas hourly space velocity of 480,000 h⁻¹. Ni–MgO–Ce_0.8Zr_0.2O₂ exhibited higher catalytic activity and stability (CH₄ conversion >95% at 800 °C for 200 h). The outstanding catalytic performance is mainly due to the basic nature of MgO and an intimate interaction between Ni and MgO.     

Enhanced hydrogen reversibility of nanoconfined LiBH4–Mg(BH4)2

This study shows the hydrogen desorption kinetics and reversible hydrogen storage properties of 0.55LiBH₄–0.45Mg(BH₄)₂ melt-infiltrated in different nanoporous carbon aerogels with different BET surface areas of 689 or 2660 m²/g and pore volumes of 1.21 or 3.13 mL/g. These investigations clearly show a significantly improved hydrogen storage capacity after four cycles of hydrogen release and uptake for bulk 0.55LiBH₄–0.45Mg(BH₄)₂ and infiltrated in carbon aerogel and the high surface area scaffold, where 22, 36 and 58% of the initial hydrogen content remain after four cycles of hydrogen release and uptake, respectively. Nanoconfinement in high surface area carbon aerogel appears to facilitate hydrogen release illustrated by release of 13.3 wt% H₂ (93%) and only 8.4 wt% H₂ (58%) from bulk hydride in the first cycle using the same physical condition. Notably, nanoconfinement also appear to have a beneficial effect on hydrogen uptake, since 8.3 wt% H₂ (58%) is released from the high surface area scaffold and only 3.1 wt% H₂ (22%) from the bulk sample during the fourth hydrogen release.     

O2/CO2气氛下生物质混煤燃烧SO2排放特性的实验研究

在水平管式炉上通过在线烟气分析仪研究了O2/CO2气氛下生物质混合比例、温度、燃烧气氛及氧浓度对生物质混煤SO2排放特性的影响规律。结果表明,O2/CO2气氛下,随着生物质混合比例的增大,生物质混煤SO2释放峰值减小,SO2排放完毕的时间减少,SO2的排放量降低;随着温度的升高,生物质混煤SO2的排放量增加。O2/CO2和O2/N2气氛下随着氧浓度的增大,生物质混煤SO2的排放量均增加。相同氧浓度时,O2/CO2气氛下生物质混煤SO2的排放量略小于O2/N2气氛下的情况,其降低幅度约为5%左右。     

Superior low-temperature hydrogen release from the ball-milled NH3BH3–LiNH2–LiBH4 composite

In the present study, we employed a multi-component combination strategy to constitute an AB/LiNH₂/LiBH₄ composite system. Our study found that mechanically milling the AB/LiNH₂/LiBH₄ mixture in a 1:1:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of LiNH₂BH₃ (LiAB) and new crystalline phase(s). A spectral study of the post-milled and the relevant samples suggests that the new phase(s) is likely ammoniate(s) with a formula of Li_2−x(NH₃)(NH₂BH₃)_1−x(BH₄) (0 < x < 1). The decomposition behaviors of the Li_2−x(NH₃)(NH₂BH₃)_1−x(BH₄)/xLiAB composite were examined using thermal analysis and volumetric method in a wide temperature range. It was found that the composite exhibited advantageous dehydrogenation properties over LiAB and LiAB·NH₃ at moderate temperatures. For example, it can release ∼7.1 wt% H₂ of purity at temperature as low as 60 °C, with both the dehydrogenation rate and extent far exceeding that of LiAB and LiAB·NH₃. A selectively deuterated composite sample has been prepared and examined to gain insight into the dehydrogenation mechanism of the Li_2−x(NH₃)(NH₂BH₃)_1−x(BH₄)/xLiAB composite. It was found that the LiBH₄ component does not participate in the dehydrogenation reaction at moderate temperatures, but plays a key role in strengthening the coordination of NH₃. This is believed to be a major mechanistic reason for the favorable dehydrogenation property of the composite at moderate temperatures.     

Reversible hydrogenation/dehydrogenation performances of the Na2LiAlH6–Mg(NH2)2 system

Complex hydrides and Metal–N–H-based materials have attracted considerable attention due to their high hydrogen content. In this paper, a novel amide–hydride combined system was prepared by ball milling a mixture of Na₂LiAlH₆–Mg(NH₂)₂ in a molar ratio of 1:1.5. The hydrogen storage performances of the Na₂LiAlH₆–1.5Mg(NH₂)₂ system were systematically investigated by a series of dehydrogenation/hydrogenation evaluation and structural analyses. It was found that a total of ∼5.08 wt% of hydrogen, equivalent to 8.65 moles of H atoms, was desorbed from the Na₂LiAlH₆–1.5Mg(NH₂)₂ combined system. In-depth investigations revealed that the variable milling treatments resulted in the different dehydrogenation reaction pathways due to the combination of Al and N caused by the energetic milling. Hydrogen uptake experiment indicated that only ∼4 moles of H atoms could be reversibly stored in the Na₂LiAlH₆–1.5Mg(NH₂)₂ system perhaps due to the formation of AlN and Mg₃N₂ after dehydrogenation.     

O2/CO2气氛下煤燃烧NOx排放特性的实验研究

利用管式电阻炉在O₂/CO₂气氛和O₂/N₂气氛下对煤粉燃烧过程中NO_x排放特性进行实验,研究在不同停留时间、炉内燃料/氧化学当量比、温度、氧浓度等因素对燃煤过程中NO_x放特性的影响,并对这两种燃烧方式下NO_x的排放特性进行对比。结果表明:在O₂/CO₂气氛下NO_x的生成量要远远低于O₂/N₂气氛下NO_x的生成量。随着停留时间的延长,NO_x沿程释放特性是先增大后减少。随着燃料/氧化学当量比的增加,NO_x排放浓度也呈现出先增加后降低的趋势。随着炉内温度的增加,2种气氛下NO_x的排放浓度均增加。随着氧浓度的提高,NO_x排放浓度增大。     

Metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells with in-situ sintered (Bi2O3)0.7(Er2O3)0.3–Ag composite cathode

Metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) containing porous 430L stainless steel support, Ni-YSZ anode and YSZ electrolyte were fabricated by tape casting, laminating and co-firing in a reduced atmosphere. (Bi₂O₃)_0.7(Er₂O₃)_0.3–Ag composite cathode was applied by screen printing and in-situ sintering. The polarization resistances of the composite cathode were 1.18, 0.48, 0.18, 0.09 Ω cm² at 600, 650, 700 and 750 °C, respectively. A promissing maximum power density of 568 mW cm⁻² at 750 °C was obtained of the single cell. Short-term stability was measured as well.     

Combustion,performance and emissions of a diesel engine with H2, CH4 and H2–CH4 addition

Experiments were conducted to investigate the combustion and emission characteristics of a diesel engine with addition of hydrogen or methane for dual-fuel operation, and mixtures of hydrogen–methane for tri-fuel operation. The in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate change slightly at low to medium loads but increase dramatically at high load owing to the high combustion temperature and high quantity of pilot diesel fuel which contribute to better combustion of the gaseous fuels. The performance of the engine with tri-fuel operation at 30% load improves with the increase of hydrogen fraction in methane and is always higher than that with dual-fuel operations. Compared with ULSD–CH₄ operation, hydrogen addition in methane contributes to a reduction of CO/CO₂/HC emissions without penalty on NO_x emission. Dual-fuel and tri-fuel operations suppress particle emission to the similar extent. All the gaseous fuels reduce the geometry mean diameter and total number concentration of diesel particulate. Tri-fuel operation with 30% hydrogen addition in methane is observed to be the best fuel in reducing particulate and NO_x emissions at 70 and 90% loads.     

Improved hydrogen storage performance of MgH2–NaAlH4 composite by addition of TiF3

In a previous paper, it was demonstrated that a MgH₂–NaAlH₄ composite system had improved dehydrogenation performance compared with as-milled pure NaAlH₄ and pure MgH₂ alone. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the hydrogen storage properties of the MgH₂–NaAlH₄ composite in the presence of TiF₃. 10 wt.% TiF₃ was added to the MgH₂–NaAlH₄ mixture, and its catalytic effects were investigated. The reaction mechanism and the hydrogen storage properties were studied by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature-programmed-desorption and isothermal sorption measurements. The DSC results show that MgH₂–NaAlH₄ composite milled with 10 wt.% TiF₃ had lower dehydrogenation temperatures, by 100, 73, 30, and 25 °C, respectively, for each step in the four-step dehydrogenation process compared to the neat MgH₂–NaAlH₄ composite. Kinetic desorption results show that the MgH₂–NaAlH₄–TiF₃ composite released about 2.4 wt.% hydrogen within 10 min at 300 °C, while the neat MgH₂–NaAlH₄ sample only released less than 1.0 wt.% hydrogen under the same conditions. From the Kissinger plot, the apparent activation energy, E_A, for the decomposition of MgH₂, NaMgH₃, and NaH in the MgH₂–NaAlH₄–TiF₃ composite was reduced to 71, 104, and 124 kJ/mol, respectively, compared with 148, 142, and 138 kJ/mol in the neat MgH₂–NaAlH₄ composite. The high catalytic activity of TiF₃ is associated with in situ formation of a microcrystalline intermetallic Ti–Al phase from TiF₃ and NaAlH₄ during ball milling or the dehydrogenation process. Once formed, the Ti–Al phase acts as a real catalyst in the MgH₂–NaAlH₄–TiF₃ composite system.
