电子废弃物的生物代谢酸浸出(英文)

The revolution in information and communication technology has brought huge technical benefits and wealth,but has created a major global problem:the generation of vast amounts of electronic waste,or e-waste through product obsolesce.The challenge in managing e-waste will be in developing sustainable recycling technologies that are able to address the volume and complexity of this waste using cost effective and ecologically sensitive methods.In this study,the capability of microorganism metabolic acids in dissolving the metallic fractions from waste printed circuit boards was examined.Several factors were considered in the examination of the activity of the acids including secondary reactions,solution pH,temperature and the nature of ligands in solutions(or bioacid constituents).The leaching tests were conducted ex-situ,using synthetic organic acids.Leaching was performed for periods of up to 6 h at 70-90℃ and 1000 r·min-1.     

Growth and Corrosion Characteristics of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Ceramic Films Formed on AZ31 Magnesium Alloy

The growth characteristics of oxide ceramic films formed on AZ31 magnesium alloy with plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique in alkaline silicate solution were investigated. The composition, structure and morphology of the coatings were detected by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope and scanning electron microscope. The amount of dissolved magnesium in the electrolytes during PEO process was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. The results indicated that the growth process of PEO films had three stages when applied with constant voltage mode. In the first stage, the growth rate of PEO films was low, and concentrations of elements O, Mg and Si varied slightly. After sparking occurred (the second stage), the PEO films showed higher growth rate due to the high transfer rate of ions and electrons, and the existence of plasma reactions. When the growth rate tended to maintain stable with time, the third stage happened. PEO films exhibited different uniform and pitting-corrosion characteristics in different reaction stages. The films formed at 300 V for 30 min performed best corrosion resistance and the phase of ceramic films was mainly composed of MgSiO3 and forsterite Mg2SiO4.

A general research program,focusing on activated carbon fiber cloths(ACFC) and felt for environmental protection was performed.The objectives were multiple:(i) a better understanding of the adsorption mechanisms of these kinds of materials;(ii) the specification and optimization of new processes using these adsorbents;(iii) the modeling of the adsorption of organic pollutants using both the usual and original approaches;(iv) applications of ACFC in industrial processes.The general question was:how can activated carbon fiber cloths and felts be used in air treatment processes for the protection of environment.In order to provide an answer,different approaches were adopted.The materials(ACFC) were characterized in terms of macro structure and internal porosity.Specific studies were performed to get the air flow pattern through the fabrics.Head loss data were generated and modeled as a function of air velocity.The performances of ACF to remove volatile organic compounds(VOCs) were approached with the adsorption isotherms and breakthrough curves in various operating conditions.Regeneration by Joule effect shows a homogenous heating of adsorber modules with rolled or pleated layers.Examples of industrial developments were presented showing an interesting technology for the removal of VOCs,such as dichloromethane,benzene,isopropyl alcohol and toluene,alone or in a complex mixture.     

Structural optimization of a settler via CFD simulation in a mixer-settler

This work is aimed at optimizing a settler structure in a mixer-settler.Two different aspects have been considered.Firstly,the flowcharacteristics of a settler have been examined by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation with various agitation speeds of the mixer,as well as organic phase volume fractions ranging from 0.075 to 0.6.The aqueous and organic phase turbulent flow fields were measured by particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique to verify the CFD simulation.Two organic phases with different physical properties were assessed in the CFD simulation to simulate the liquid-liquid systems related to rare earth element extraction,i.e.,0.072 mol·L~(-1) P507/kerosene and 1.8 mol·L~(-1) P507/kerosene.Secondly,the CFD simulation was carried out in a settler equipped with baffles.The effects of number and location of the baffle in the settler on flow features and entrainments of the aqueous and organic outlet were analyzed.Meanwhile,different settler/mixer volume ratios were also examined.By analyses and comparisons,an optimal design for settler was proposed.CFD can provide a significant guidance to better mixer-settler design.     

Coagulation behavior of polyaluminum chloride:Effects of pH and coagulant dosage☆

Coagulation mechanisms of polyaluminum chloride (PACl) at various dosages were studied using a conventional jar test at different final and initial pH values during treating kaolin suspension. The optimal final pH and dosages for PACl were obtained based on residual turbidity and zeta potential of flocs. The coagulation zones at various PACl dosages and solution pH values were developed and compared with those of alum. It is found that the optimal mechanism under acidic condition is charge neutralization, while alkaline condition wil facilitate the coagulation of PACl. Both charge neutralization coagulation and sweep coagulation can achieve high coagulation efficiency under the alkaline condition ranging from final pH 7.0 to 10.0. Stabilization, charge neutralization destabilization, restabilization and sweep zones occur successively with increasing PACl dosages with the final pH values fixed at 7.0 and 8.0, but restabilization zone disappears at final pH 10.0. When the final pH is not controlled and consequently decreases with increasing PACl dosage, no typical sweep zone can be observed and the coagulant efficiency decreases at high PACl dosage. It seems that the final pH is more meaningful than the initial pH for coagulation. Charge neutralization coagulation efficiency is dominated by zeta potential of flocs and PACl precipitates. The charge neutralization and sweep coagulation zones of PACl are broader in the ranges of coagulant dosage and pH than those of alum. The results are helpful for us to treat water and wastewa-ter using PACl and to understand the coagulation process of PACl.

Further, greenhouse and field test were processed, and the test showed that the use of the toxin appeared to have the potential to be developed further as a bioherbicide system to control weedy grasses.     

氨基酸在非牛顿流体中的扩散

The amino acids are necessarily nutritious components, their diffusions in body fluid and blood that belong to typical non-Newtonian fluid are of virtual importance to control the diffusive process and help clinical treatment. In this article, a holographic interferometer has been adopted to measure the diffusivity of amino acids in non-Newtonian fluid with the use of real-time holographic interference technique. In order to prove the reliability of the experimental instrument, the diffusivities of sucrose aqueous solution at 298.15K were determined. The meas- ured result displays a satisfactory accuracy of the apparatus used. Furthermore, the diffusion coefficients of glynine, L-serine, L-threonine and L-valine in polyacrylamide （PAM） aqueous solution at 298.15K were measured, respec- tively. The experimental data were fitted by a newly proposed correlation equation based on Li＇s predictive model. The calculating results by the present model are at considerably good agreement with experimental values, and the maximum average deviation is only 0.5%.     

郁李仁（R）-醇腈酶高效催化乙酰基三甲基硅烷与丙酮氰醇不对称转氰

Highly efficient asymmetric transcyanation of acetyltrimethylsilane with acetone cyanohydrin in an aqueous/organic biphasic system catalyzed with （R）-oxynitrilase from defatted Prunus Japonica seed meal for the preparation of optically active （R）-2-trimethylsilyl-2-hydroxyl-propionitrile was successfully carried out for the first time. For better understanding of the reaction, various influential variables were examined with respect to the initial reaction rate, the substrate conversion and the product enantiomeric excess （e.e.）. Diisopropyl ether was found to be the best organic phase for this reaction among all the organic solvents tested. The optimal concentrations of Prunus Japonica seed meal powder, acetyltrimethylsilane and acetone cyanohydrin, volume ratio of aqueous phase to organic phase, buffer pH value and the reaction temperature were 34.5g·L^-1 and 14mmol· L^-1, 28mmol· L^-1, 13% （by volume）, 5.0 and 30℃, respectively, while the initial reaction rate, the substrate conversion and the product enantiomeric excess were 1.34 mmol·L^-1·h^-1, 99.0% and 99.0%, respectively. The comparative study demonstrated that silicon atom in substrate showed great effect on the reaction and acetyltrimethylsilane was a much better substrate for （R）-hydroxynitrile lyase from Prunus Japonica seed than its carbon analogue 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone.     

添加氨基芳香酸对铂催化烯烃硅氢加成反应的活性和选择性的影响

A series of aromatic acids has been tested as additives for the platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation of styrene with triethoxysilane. Both excellent conversion of styrene and selectivity in favor of the β-adduct were achieved using aminobenzoic acids as additive. Moreover, the use of 4-aminobenzoic acid led to significantly superior enhancement in both catalytic activity and selectivity among the tested aminobenzoic acids. Indeed, 100% conversion of styrene and 98.4% selectivity in favor of the β-adduct were obtained. Additionally, hydrosilylations of various alkenes with a variety of platinum catalysts have also been tested, and in each case the conversion of substrate and the selectivity of the β-adduct were promoted by using 4-aminobenzoic acid as additive.     

Role of Calcium Magnesium Aluminate in Carbon-containing Bricks for Steel Ladle

Calcium magnesium aluminate,with the commercial name of MagArmour,is a synthetic material consisting of 70 mass%Al₂O₃,20 mass%MgO and 10 mass%CaO,approximately.It is characterized by porous microstructure,intergranular aluminates phases and micro-crystalline spinel.Since globally launched in 2017,MagArmour has been successfully applied to various carbon-containing refractories serving for steel refining process.Lots of cases have demonstrated the role of MagArmour in enhancing the service life of carbon containing bricks for ladle lining.The benefits embody in formation of protective coating on hot surface,relief of drilling corrosion in joint positions,and elimination of grooves or cracks caused by mechanical stress concentration.In addition,MagArmour is effective in protecting graphite from deep oxidization so as to be capable of replacing the metallic or carbide anti-oxidants in carbon-containing bricks entirely.By means of chemical analysis and microstructural dissection,postmortem investigations on the used MgO-C bricks from both metal and slag zones of 120t steel refining ladle were conducted to clarify the working mechanism of MagArmour.The formation of protective coating on hot face is attributed to the dissolution of micro-crystalline spinel into contacting slag,which changes the slag chemistry so as to enhance viscosity.The improvement in corrosion/erosion resistance is highly related to the porous microstructure and dispersive aluminates.As well known,evaporation of Mg,Al and SiO,and/or internal migration,occurs in MgO-C bricks at elevated temperatures.The gaseous phases are absorbed by MagArmour particles due to the high surface area of porous microstructure and condense as corresponding oxides.These oxides react with the intergranular calcium aluminates forming liquid phase.With increasing temperature,the liquid phase seeps into the matrix under capillary force.The increased liquid amount improves the flexibility of the matrix and thus releases the internal stresses concentration resulting from mechanical stress and temperature gradient.Meanwhile,densification of the matrix microstructure occurs under the static pressure generated by liquid steel and molten slag,which blocks the channels of oxygen infiltration.     

Biogenic sulfuric acid attack on different types of commercially produced concrete sewer pipes

Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the degradation of low and high quality concrete under conditions simulating sewer pipes with and without bacteria. Small concrete samples were exposed to hydrogen sulfide, multiple species of bacteria found in corroding sewer pipes and artificial wastewater. Experiments without bacteria were used as controls. The corrosion rates of the concrete samples exposed to bacteria over 227 days were 0.08 mm/yr (millimeters per year) for the concrete from a domestic manufacturer with moderate strength and a lower water-cement ratio (Low-w/c) versus 0.208 mm/yr for the concrete samples from a foreign country with low strength and a higher water-cement ratio (High-w/c). The (Low-w/c) concrete was more resistant to the biodegradation even though a lower pH was attained for its bioactive systems. Experiments showed the influence of biogenic sulfuric acid production on short term corrosion rates.     

Effect of introduction of structural defects on protective ability of polyesters

Permeability of a polymer plays an important role in conferring the protective ability of organic coating to the steel surface against atmospheric corrosion. Although the relationship between structure of polymers and their permeability has been extensively studied in various applications like membranes, packaging, etc., such detailed study is lacking in the area of coatings. The systematic study of structure–permeability relationship of polymers in clear coatings can give guidelines in selecting the binder for the required application. This article deals with the effect of introduction of structural defects into a straight chain aliphatic polyesters on the protective ability of their clear coatings against corrosion. The mild steel panels coated with clear coatings based on the polyesters were exposed to humidity in humidity chamber. A novel technique of detecting the onset of corrosion was used instead of conventional methods that detect the failure of the coating due to corrosion. It was observed that even at 1–10% mole defect introduced by replacement of straight chain diols with branched diols, the protective ability of clear coatings was affected drastically.

Electrochemical characterisation of protective organic coatings for food packaging

A very common material for food packaging is steel, in the form of metallic containers (cans), in particular for beverage packaging. The corrosion degradation of the packaging must be carefully controlled, not only because the packaging integrity must be preserved, but also in order to avoid any significant contamination of the food or drink, compromising the flavour. In order to increase the coating performance and the food compatibility, new organic coatings are under development with very high protective properties, with the final aim to increase the shelf life of the product. An electrochemical characterisation is often used to study the protective performance of organic coatings on metal substrate for various applications. Some different coatings for food packaging were considered in the present study, including materials with different chemical composition and different pigments content. The protective properties were quantified using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, comparing the electrochemical substrate activity with electrochemical noise (EN) and scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) measurements. The influence of mechanical deformations on the protective properties was also investigated. The results obtained on the studied coatings confirmed the validity of the electrochemical approach and showed that, in general, the coatings containing pigments (TiO₂) have better performance than clearcoats, while comparing the different polymers, epoxy–phenolic coatings have a better corrosion protection than epoxy–melamine coatings.     

Experimental research and prediction of the effect of chemical and biogenic sulfuric acid on different types of commercially produced concrete sewer pipes

New equipment and procedures for chemical and microbiological tests, simulating biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion in sewerage systems, are presented. Subsequent steps of immersion and drying, combined with mechanical abrasion, were applied to simulate events occurring in sewer systems. Both chemical and microbiological tests showed that the aggregate type had the largest effect on degradation. Concrete with limestone aggregates showed a smaller degradation depth than did the concrete with inert aggregates. The limestone aggregates locally created a buffering environment, protecting the cement paste. This was confirmed by microscopic analysis of the eroded surfaces. The production method of concrete pipes influenced durability through its effect on W/C ratio and water absorption values. In the microbiological tests, HSR Portland cement concrete performed slightly better than did the slag cement concrete. A possible explanation can be a more rapid colonisation by microorganisms of the surface of slag cement samples. A new method for degradation prediction was suggested based on the parameters alkalinity and water absorption (as a measure for concrete porosity).     

Multicomponent-liquid-membrane permeation of organic acids

The parameters of lactic acid separation from fermentation broths by Emulsion-Liquid Membranes (ELMs) have been optimized. Using these parameters, lactic acid can be separated up to 90%, concentrated up to 3 times and cleared of most of its by-products. Only about 1% of glucose and amino acids is permeated together with the lactic acid. With these parameters, not only lactic acid but also other monocarboxylic acids can be separated, the better and faster the lower the pKa-value of the acid the fewer polar side groups it carries. When separating dicarboxylic acids, the mass transfer is hindered by the second carboxylic group. The smaller the distance between the two carboxylic groups, the slower is the separation of the acid. When several organic acids are separated from the same fermentation broth, their mutual influence is not very strong, at least when the concentrations of the acids are about 100 mmol/l. However, sulphuric acid which is added to the fermentation broth throughout permeation to maintain the broth at a constant pH, does exert a strong influence. In order to reduce the competition between the organic and sulphuric acids during permeation to a minimum, as little as possible sulphuric acid is used. However, a certain quantity of sulphuric acid is necessary to maintain the pH of the fermentation broth during permeation at 4.5, otherwise organic acid separation would become too slow.     

Effect of acid traces on hydrothermal sealing of anodising layers on 2024 aluminium alloy

The corrosion properties of hydrothermally sealed anodised 2024 aluminium alloy specimens in tartaric-sulphuric acid (TSA) and sulphuric acid (SA) are investigated using electrochemical techniques. A new mechanism is proposed to describe the improvements observed for the sealed porous layer grown in the mixed electrolyte. This mechanism involves the dissociation of the residual organic acid present inside the pores as a consequence of the pH increase during hydrothermal sealing (HT). Tartrate ions form chelate complexes with Cu(II) cations embedded in the oxide film. This results in a decrease in the heterogeneity of the film and consequently, better protective properties.     

Silica nanocontainers for active corrosion protection

Novel self-healing protective coatings with nanocontainers of corrosion inhibitors open new opportunities for long-term anticorrosion protection of different metallic materials. In this paper a new type of functional nanoreservoir based on silica nanocapsules (SiNC) synthesized and loaded with corrosion inhibitor 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) in a one-stage process is reported for the first time. Unlike conventional mesoporous silica nanoparticles, SiNC possess an empty core and shell with gradual mesoporosity, arising from the particular conditions of the synthetic route adopted, which confers significant loading capacity and allows prolonged and stimuli-triggered release of the inhibiting species. The kinetics of inhibitor release was studied at different pH values and concentrations of NaCl. The results show a clear dependence of the release profiles on corrosion relevant triggers such as pH and Cl(-) concentration. When SiNC loaded with MBT are dispersed in NaCl solution, there is a significant decrease of the corrosion activity on aluminium alloy 2024. More importantly, when SiNC-MBT is added to a conventional water-based coating formulation, the modified coating hampers corrosion activity at the metal interface, better than in the case of direct addition of corrosion inhibitor. Furthermore, self-healing is observed before and after artificially inflicting defects in the modified coatings. As a result, the developed nanocontainers show high potential to be used in new generation of active protective coatings.
