重水浓度与吸光度关系曲线类型研究

重水作为反应堆的慢化材料，其浓度直接影响反应堆的安全和性能。为研究其重水浓度与吸光度间的关系曲线类型，基于朗伯-比尔定律，从理论上推导出液态重水中某种水分子的红外吸收峰分别与0~2种其他水分子的红外吸收峰发生重叠时重水浓度与吸光度间的关系式，分情况对二者之间的关系曲线类型进行讨论。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪，测得浓度为0.015%~99.98%（摩尔比）的重水标准样品吸收光谱，对重水浓度和吸光度间的关系曲线类型进行验证，理论推导与实际吻合。研究表明，一般情况下，宽浓度范围内，重水浓度与吸光度间的关系曲线类型为二次曲线；窄浓度范围内，关系曲线类型为线性。特殊情况下，吸光度为定值或关系曲线类型为线性。     

Design of geocell reinforced roads through fragility modeling

Several studies have confirmed the geocell reinforcement system as potential road material. However, there is a wide gap between the number of research studies evaluating the geocell in the laboratory and those dealing with road design methods using the geocell. Due to this gap, the geocell system has not reached its full potential in highways. The present study proposes fragility modeling to design low volume roads by considering the geocell reinforced layer's modulus. A predictive model was developed to estimate the geocell layer's modulus using laboratory and finite element analysis results. The results indicate that geocell reinforcement reduces the stresses on the underlying road layers. The developed fragility approach is then used to examine three road designs for Texas's low volume road involving different geocell reinforced layers. The obtained fragility curves indicate the reliability of each of the three road designs against the traffic load and can thereby assist decision-makers in selecting the optimum design. By designing geocell reinforced roads via fragility modeling, highway officials will be able to integrate any uncertainties in the design inputs and check designs against road performance criteria such as rutting and fatigue cracking, and against decision criteria such as cost, emissions, etc.     

多氢酸酸化反应特征及动力学

利用自制多氢酸液XS-1进行静态岩粉溶蚀与岩心流动实验,通过SEM、ICP等实验考察了多氢酸的缓速性与预防二次沉淀性能,并研究了多氢酸与岩心反应动力学特性。结果表明,XS-1多氢酸液具有良好的缓速与预防二次沉淀性能,反应后残酸的极限浓度为0.296 1 mol/L,酸液有效作用时间为6~7 h。在该多氢酸体系下岩心渗透率提高至4.15倍,在此条件下以酸岩反应动力学参数模型建立动力学方程,反应速率比同条件下普通酸液小,进一步证明多氢酸具有一定的缓速性。     

Production of (S)-β-Nitro Alcohols by Enantioselective C−C Bond Cleavage with an R-Selective Hydroxynitrile Lyase

Hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL)-catalysed stereoselective synthesis of β-nitro alcohols from aldehydes and nitroalkanes is considered an efficient biocatalytic approach. However, only one S-selective HNL—Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL)—exists that is appropriate for the synthesis of (S)-β-nitro alcohols from the corresponding aldehydes. Further, synthesis catalysed by HbHNL is limited by low specific activity and moderate yields. We have prepared a number of (S)-β-nitro alcohols, by kinetic resolution with the aid of an R-selective HNL from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtHNL). Optimization of the reaction conditions for AtHNL-catalysed stereoselective C−C bond cleavage of racemic 2-nitro-1-phenylethanol (NPE) produced (S)-NPE (together with benzaldehyde and nitromethane, largely from the R enantiomer) in up to 99 % ee and with 47 % conversion. This is the fastest HNL-catalysed route known so far for the synthesis of a series of (S)-β-nitro alcohols. This approach widens the application of AtHNL for the synthesis not only of (R)- but also of (S)-β-nitro alcohols from the appropriate substrates. Without the need for the discovery of a new enzyme, but rather by use of a retro-Henry approach, it was used to generate a number of (S)-β-nitro alcohols by taking advantage of the substrate selectivity of AtHNL.     

磁场环境下铝电解熔融铝液成分激光诱导击穿光谱原位测量分析

铝电解车间具有高温、强磁、多粉尘等环境特点,当前生产过程中熔融原铝的成分检测主要是人工取样然后离线分析,化验过程及结果具有较大的滞后性,故将激光诱导击穿光谱(LIBS)技术应用于铝电解车间铝液成分原位、实时测量具有重要意义。实验采用Nd:YAG脉冲激光器,多通道光纤光谱仪和电感耦合器件(CCD)探测器组成的激光诱导击穿光谱测量系统对电流为400kA电解槽中熔融铝液的主要成分铁、硅进行了探测,对原铝中部分元素的特征谱线进行了归属分析。考察了激光能量在磁场环境下的衰减变化及谱线梯度变迁规律,结果表明,距离电解槽边缘约2m处激光能量衰减达最大。分析了磁场对测试系统的影响,并建立了定标曲线,铁和硅两种元素按照内标法建立的定标曲线拟合度分别为93.50%和97.10%,采用该模型进行了测试实验,并用国标GB/T 7999—2015中光电直读发射光谱(OES)测试的相关指标验证测试结果的重复性与允许差。实验证明,LIBS技术在电解铝行业在线检测方面具有较好的应用前景,但是测试的稳定性与重复性也是面临的一个重要问题。     

Reformate-enriched gasoline-ethanol blends: Volatility criteria and azeotrope formation

Four hydrocarbon-base gasolines (BG) were formulated from the local refinery streams; isomerate, reformate, and light naphtha. The formulations were enriched in reformate. Each of these BG formulations was blended with 10 vol% of anhydrous ethanol. From ASTM-D86 distillation data, eight distillation curves were constructed and the trend line equations of these distillation curves were developed. Also, the area under each distillation curve (AUDC) was calculated through calculus definite integration technique. Subsequently, the area due to azeotrope formation (ADAF) for each BG-ethanol blend was estimated. In this paper, the influence of increasing reformate proportions on the created positive azeotrope, was studied. Also the influence of increasing reformate proportions on vapor pressure, Temperature for the vapor-liquid ratio of 20, T50 and octane number was studied. The results show that the R² values of the distillation curve equations prove the reliability of the fits. Also, increasing reformate proportion in the fuel blend improves the octane number while increasing reformate proportion decreases the volatility of the fuel formulation.
