Feasibility of CANON process for treating nitrogenous wastewater containing heavy metals

The appearance of heavy metals in wastewater brings a major burden to wastewater treatment plants, due to the high toxicity to microorganisms. Several commonly used heavy metals, including Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were adopted to clear the individual and joint toxicity to the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process in six sequencing batch reactors. The obtained results suggested that the nitrogen removal performances were transiently inhibited, but rapidly recovered. The restoration period under the stress of Hg(II) and Pb(II) was shorter than that under Zn(II), Cd(II), and the joint heavy metals. During the long-term exposure, Cd(II) in 1mg L⁻¹ slightly inhibited the nitrogen removal, while Zn(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), and mixture showed a negligible impact on CANON process. The defense of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), the good adaptability of functional bacteria, and the inducement of resistant genera by heavy metals all contributed to the robustness and stability of CANON process. Therefore, it is feasible to treat nitrogenous wastewater containing low heavy metals using CANON process. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry     

Hetero-nanostructured metal oxide-based hybrid photocatalysts for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting – A review

This review is mainly focused on nanostructured metal oxide-based efficient photocatalysts for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting applications. Owing to their distinctive physical and chemical properties, metal-oxide nanostructures have attracted a wide research interest for solar power-stimulated water splitting applications. Hydrogen generation by solar energy-assisted water splitting is a clean and eco-friendly route that can solve the energy crisis and play a significant role in efforts to save the environment. In this review, synthesis strategies, control of morphology, band-gap properties, and photocatalytic application of solar water splitting using hierarchical hetero-nanostructured metal oxide-based photocatalysts, such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), and tungsten/wolfram trioxide (WO₃), are discussed.     

GH3535合金的表面改性

GH3535镍基合金的硬度仅为200HV左右,不能达到超高温熔盐液下轴承要求的400HV以上的硬度。为此,对GH3535合金进行了不同的表面改性处理,包括渗硼、喷丸预变形后渗硼和氮-硼复合渗。试验结果表明:960℃和980℃渗硼的GH3535合金的表面硬度约700HV0.1,渗层深度为0.10~0.12mm;预变形后渗硼的GH3535合金的表面硬度稍低于单一渗硼的合金,约为650HV0.1,但渗层深度比单一渗硼的合金增加了约0.02mm;氮-硼复合渗GH3535合金的表面硬度与单一渗硼的合金相当,约为700HV0.1,渗层深度达0.16mm。     

Recovery of vinyl chloride from by-streams of polyvinyl chloride production by TPSA in a multitubular adsorber

This work aims at developing an efficient and feasible adsorption-based separation process for the separation of vinyl chloride and nitrogen, on activated carbon, by employing a multitubular packed bed geometry, with adsorbent material inside the tubes. Using this geometry, a 2-dimensional mathematical model of a temperature pressure swing adsorption process was used to developed a 6-step three multitubular adsorbers system capable of separating and purifying an industrial scale gas stream of a 40:60% (v/v) vinyl chloride/nitrogen mixture into a 95% (v/v) vinyl chloride stream and a nitrogen stream with a vinyl chloride limit concentration of 8 ppm (w/w). The process reported energy consumption of 4.88 × 10⁶ J/kg_VCM and recovery capacity of 24.35 kg_VCM/(m³_unit h). The multitubular geometry enabled the use of lower adsorbent loads, shorter cycle times, and lower regeneration temperatures. An equivalent 1-dimensional model has also shown to satisfactorily estimate the performance of the current equipment.     

Survey of acceptor dopants in SrTiO3: Factors limiting room temperature hole concentration

Unintentional impurities often found in strontium titanate (doped or undoped) have hindered efforts to study individual impurities experimentally. To fill this gap, a computational survey of acceptor-type point defects of common intentional or unintentional impurities (Al, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, N, Na, Ni, and Zn) is presented. Utilizing defect formation energies from density functional theory using hybrid exchange correlation functionals in a grand canonical model of the defect chemistry, the equilibrium Fermi level (μ_e) was calculated as a function of processing conditions for pure SrTiO₃, SrTiO₃ individually doped with each impurity, and SrTiO₃ co-doped with Al and N. Above a certain concentration, each impurity reduced the maximum predicted hole concentration relative to the intrinsic case. Al, Mg, Zn, K, and Na exhibited similar trends and behaved more like ideal acceptors while N, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu were all unique and pinned μ_e near or above the mid-gap in most conditions. Al/N:SrTiO₃ also exhibited similar trends at 800°C for all Al/N ratios, but more variation at 25°C. Additionally, the behavior of Al:SrTiO₃ was not recovered until Al/N = 10⁴. This suggests that to achieve SrTiO₃ with free holes at room temperature, the concentration of most impurities must be controlled.

Analysis of nitrogen oxide emissions from modern vehicles using hydrogen or other natural and synthetic fuels in combustion chamber

The paper presents a calculated analysis of the equilibrium emission of nitrogen oxides on the exhaust of carburetor and diesel internal combustion engines. The temperature of fuel oxidation is assumed to be 1,400 °C while the pressure for carburetor and diesel engines is assumed to be 60 atm and 80 atm respectively. The studies have been carried out for natural and synthetic fuels such as hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, petroleum, diesel fuel and methane at the excess air coefficient corresponding to the fuel oxidation temperature of 1,400 °C. In the paper, the method for calculating the equilibrium composition based on the equilibrium constant and mass conservation equations has been applied. It is shown that with an increase in pressure from 1 atm to 60 atm for carburetor engines and up to 80 atm for diesel engines, the reaction of nitrogen dioxide formation may shift towards an increase in NO₂. The formation of NO may be not affected by the increase in pressure by virtue of the fact that the reaction proceeds without changes in the amount. It has been determined that NO is the major atmospheric pollutant. However, it would be advisable to use more extensively the fuels characterized by the lowest output of nitrogen dioxide (methane and methanol), since nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) related to the 2nd hazard class is appeared to be the most dangerous to humans. It has been revealed that the reduction in oxidation temperature using hydrogen as a fuel for electrochemical current generators may allow reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by more than an order of magnitude as compared to the best results for ICE.     

铝热还原制备高钛铁脱氧性能的研究

炉外铝热反应制备的高钛铁合金由于Al、O含量高，不能直接用于钢水精炼过程。本文研究了高铝高钛铁在钢液精炼过程中的热力学，以及高钛铁中铝和铁含量对钢液精炼过程的影响。结果表明：采用Ti和Al作为复合脱氧剂，在1873K当钢水中的aTi/aAl大于8时，脱氧产物为Ti2O3；但事实上，只有当液态钢中的aTi/aAl值高于10时，Ti2O3才会作为脱氧产物沉淀。采用高铝高钛铁作为脱氧剂，钢水中铝和钛的含量可以满足相关钢的成分要求。随着高钛铁含量的增加，精炼后的铸钢中夹杂物由硅酸盐转变为Ti-Al-Mn复合夹杂物；同时，在这些夹杂物周围形成径向针状铁素体，细化了钢的微观结构。实际系统中的aTi/aAl值为17.78（> 8），与理论结果一致。当钢液中的氧含量高时，控制钢水中aTi/aAl的值是至关重要的。     

One-pot synthesis of high N-doped porous carbons derived from a N-rich oil palm biomass residue in low temperature for CO2 capture

Porous carbon materials have been widely used for CO₂ adsorption, but their preparation was subject to conditions such as raw material cost, activator corrosion, and temperature. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbonaceous adsorbents were prepared in a low temperature region (400-550°C) by one-step composite nitrogen doping method, using low-cost oil residue as raw materials and less corrosive NaNH₂ as activator. The CO₂ adsorption performances of the prepared N-doped porous adsorbents were systematically explored. The results showed that optimal oil residue-derived carbonaceous adsorbent owned excellent amount of CO₂ adsorption up to 3.51 and 5.63 mmol/g at 298 and 273 K under 1 bar, respectively. It was discovered that the congenerous influences of porous structure, nitrogen content and V_n of the adsorbent affected their CO₂ adsorption performances under 1 bar. Importantly, these oil residue porous carbonaceous adsorbent also was verified owning fine selectivity of the CO₂ over N₂ (15.7), which attributed to its high V_n and nitrogen content. Furthermore, optimal sample OAC-500-2.5 owned medium Q_st (21-26 kJ/mol), which was beneficial practical application. This work may inspire new sparks on novel nitrogen-doped adsorbent with inexpensive precursor, low activation temperature and simple preparative tactic, indicating that the nitrogen-doped sample is promising in the practical situation of CO₂ adsorption.
