Hydrogen Production from Catalytic Steam Reforming of Bio-Oils: A Critical Review

In the future, hydrogen will be an important energy carrier and industrial raw material. Catalytic steam reforming of bio-oils is a promising and economically viable technology for hydrogen production. However, during the reforming process, the catalysts are rapidly deactivated due to coke formation and sintering. Thus, maintaining the activity and stability of catalysts is the key issue in this process. Optimized operation conditions could extend the catalyst lifetime by affecting the coke morphology or promoting coke gasification. This article summarizes the recent developments in the field of catalytic steam reforming of bio-oils, focusing on the operation conditions, the properties of the catalysts, and the effects of the catalyst supports. The expected insights into the catalytic steam reforming of bio-oils will provide further guidance for hydrogen production from bio-oils.     

基于6Li+CdTe的新型中子探测器的优化设计研究

面对~3He气体资源严重短缺的国际形势,2018年基于~6Li+CdTe新型中子探测器方案被提了出来,其具备热中子探测效率高、γ灵敏度低及可与~3He气体中子探测器相比拟的特点,有很好的应用前景。本文分析~6Li+CdTe中子探测器的结构和工作原理,采用MCNP6软件对~6Li+CdTe中子探测器进行物理建模并且对其物理性能、结构参数、中子慢化体设计等进行模拟计算,并就该探测器在特殊核材料监测系统中的应用开展了探索研究。结果显示:CdTe吸收层的最佳厚度为10μm;当6层~6Li+CdTe的中子探测单元叠加时,~6Li转化层的最佳厚度为60μm,此时热中子探测效率超过50%;探测系统的尺寸达到4 m×32 cm时,可以满足特殊核物质监测的要求。整个模拟研究获得了探测器最佳工作参数以及辐射监测系统设计方案,对特殊核材料在线中子监测装置的实验研究具有指导意义。

Reconstructing gene regulatory networks with a memetic-neural hybrid based on fuzzy cognitive maps

Reconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) plays an important role in identifying the complicated regulatory relationships, uncovering regulatory patterns in cells, and gaining a systematic view for biological processes. In order to reconstruct large-scale GRNs accurately, in this paper, we first use fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs), which are a kind of cognition fuzzy influence graphs based on fuzzy logic and neural networks, to model GRNs. Then, a novel hybrid method is proposed to reconstruct GRNs from time series expression profiles using memetic algorithm (MA) combined with neural network (NN), which is labeled as MANN_FCM-GRN. In MANN_FCM-GRN, the MA is used to determine regulatory connections in GRNs and the NN is used to determine the interaction strength of the regulatory connections. In the experiments, the performance of MANN_FCM-GRN is validated on both synthetic data and the benchmark dataset DREAM3 and DREAM4. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of MANN_FCM-GRN and show that MANN_FCM-GRN can reconstruct GRNs with high accuracy without expert knowledge. The comparison with existing algorithms also shows that MANN_FCM-GRN outperforms ant colony optimization, non-linear Hebbian learning, and real-coded genetic algorithms.

     

芽孢杆菌Bacillus sp.dwc-2对模拟地下水中U(Ⅵ)的还原行为研究

在厌氧条件下研究了西南地区一种典型土壤微生物芽孢杆菌Bacillus sp.dwc-2对模拟地下水中U(Ⅵ)的还原行为，重点考察了时间、无机阴离子、腐殖酸（HA）及富里酸（FA）对还原的影响，并利用TEM、EDS、SAED和XPS对还原后的样品进行了表征。结果表明：在pH=7.0、c_NaHCO3=5 mmol/L和T=303 K条件下，Bacillus sp.dwc-2对U(Ⅵ)的还原率随时间的增加而增加，24 h内最大还原率为12.2%，此后则随时间的增加逐渐降低；HA和FA对U(Ⅵ)的微生物还原行为有一定影响，其中HA和FA浓度为25 mg/L时，U(Ⅵ)的还原在24 h最明显，其还原率分别为14.2%和16.2%，但随着HA和FA浓度的继续增加，因在U(Ⅵ)离子与HA、FA形成的配合物表面形成致密的腐殖层，抑制了电子的转移，阻止了U(Ⅵ)的还原。此外，研究表明HCO₃^-也会抑制U(Ⅵ)的还原。TEM-SAED和XPS分析证实了还原过程中U(Ⅳ)的存在。上述结果可为真实环境中微生物还原U(Ⅵ)提供基础数据和参考。

亲子乐园空调送风方式的数值模拟研究

大型综合室内亲子乐园属于高大空间,设有游乐设施和游戏的特殊性使得对空间的舒适性要求一致,但是送风气流遇阻严重,室内存在较多气流死角,影响室内空气质量和儿童健康。因此其空调设计不仅需要考虑温度、风速的空间均匀度,还要考虑各点的空气龄和PMV-PPD指标。以天津某亲子乐园为研究对象,利用scSTREAM软件对适用于该房间的辐射供冷加新风、置换通风、混合通风三种空调方式的送风效果进行数值模拟分析,从流场的均匀性、人员的热舒适性等方面对模拟结果进行探讨,研究结果表明辐射供冷加新风方式的空间均匀性和PMV指标最佳,混合通风方式的空气龄最小。

黏性土和纤维对风积沙改性土热膨胀特性的影响

风积沙改性土的热膨胀特性对评价风积沙改性土路基温度稳定性至关重要.通过在风积沙中掺入不同质量的水泥、黏性土或聚丙烯纤维制成不同配比的改性土,测试改性土的热膨胀系数,研究外加材料的掺入量对改性土热膨胀特性的影响.试验结果表明:改性土的平均线膨胀系数随着水泥掺入量的增加总体呈增大趋势,随着聚丙烯纤维掺入量的增加而减小,随着黏性土掺入量的增加而增大.聚丙烯纤维的掺入可有效降低改性土的热膨胀系数.研究成果可为进一步优化改性土提供研究方向,为高温差沙漠地区工程建设中风积沙改性土温度裂缝的控制提供试验依据.
