A bubbling fluidized bed reactor was used to study CO2 capture from flue gas by using a potassium-based solid sorbent, sorbKX35 which was manufactured by the Korea Electric Power
Research Institute. A dry sorbent, sorbKX35, consists of K2CO3 for absorption and supporters for mechanical strength. To increase initial CO2 removal, some amount of H2O was absorbed in the sorbent before injecting simulated flue gas. It was possible to achieve 100% CO2 removal for more than 10 minutes at 60°C and a residence time of 2 s with H2O pretreatment. When H2O pretreatment time was long enough to convert K2CO3 of sorbKX35 into K2CO3 · 1.5H2O, CO2 removal was excellent. The results obtained in this study can be used as basic data for designing and operating a large scale
CO2 capture process with two fluidized bed reactors.

Structural genomics initiatives are determining thousands of new protein structures. Many of these structures are of unknown function, and computational methods for the rapid determination of functional information from protein structure are needed. We present details of how functional information is obtained from the structure using THEMATICS (Theoretical Microscopic Titration Curves). THEMATICS is a computational procedure that gives information about chemical reactivity, based on solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equations for the electrical potential function. We show how anomalies in predicted titration curves are established. We show further that when residues with anomalous predicted titration curves form a cluster in physical space, these residues tend to be very highly conserved across species and such clusters are reliable predictors of the active site. Results are given for ten enzymes; detailed results are shown for the enzymes triosephosphate isomerase (from chicken), 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase (from E. coli), and papain (from papaya). 相似文献
Germplasm with shorter duration than that of the currently grown varieties is being generated to maximize productivity of irrigated rice. However, short-duration varieties often produce yields lower than the medium- and long-duration varieties. Experiments were conducted during the 1980–82 dry and wet seasons to increase productivity through the use of very early-maturing rices and the improved management of nitrogen (N) fertilizers.Results over three years showed that IR58 and IR9729-67-3 (growth duration 100 ± 5 days) yield as well as or higher than IR36 although earlier maturing. They generally had a higher productivity (kg ha–1 day–1) than IR36 (110 ± 5 days).Three years' data suggest that the improved timing of broadcast applications of urea in split doses increased grain yield comparable with the basal incorporation of slow-release sulfur-coated urea (SCU) or deep point-placement of urea supergranules (USG).Results on elite breeding lines showed that the early-maturing IR9729-67-3 produced higher protein yield ha–1 than longer duration varieties such as IR8 and IR42 in the dry season. Furthermore, contrary to earlier results, single basal incorporation of slow-release SCU increased the protein yield of rice by 53 kg ha–1 and deep point-placement of USG by 43 kg ha–1 over split application of prilled urea. 相似文献
A constitutive model for tensile behavior of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/clay nanocomposite foams was proposed. The elastic modulus of HDPE/clay nanocomposite was developed using micromechanics theory, and the modulus for foams was obtained by using representative volume element (RVE) concept. In order to describe the tensile behavior of the foams, a constitutive equation obtained from a viscoelastic model was proposed. The constitutive model was expressed in terms of microstructural properties of polymer, and physical properties of the foams. The effects of the material parameters and processing conditions on the foam morphologies and mechanical properties of HDPE/clay nanocomposite foams were investigated. Microcellular closed-cell nanocomposite foams were manufactured with HDPE, where the nanoclay loadings of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt% were used. The effect of clay loading and foaming conditions on the volume expansion ratio, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break was investigated. Except for the elongation at break, the mechanical properties were improved with nanoclay loading. The tensile experimental data of the foams were compared with the prediction by the theoretical model. It was demonstrated that the tensile behaviors of HDPE/clay nanocomposite foams were well described by the constitutive model. 相似文献
Male and female weanling rats that were born to dams fed a diet low in linolenic acid received diets of 15% lipids by weight
containing 45% elaidic acid (as trielaidin) and 8.5% or 0.1% linolenic acid for 10 weeks. Four other groups, in which palmitic
or oleic acid replaced elaidic acid in the diet, served as controls. The fatty acid profiles of several lipid classes were
determined in adipose tissue, adrenals, testes, heart and brain. Elaidic acid was incorporated into tissue lipids in varying
degrees, depending on the organ and on the lipid class. Feeding elaidic acid induced no changes in the polyunsaturated fatty
acid (PUFA) profiles of testes lipids but resulted in definite modifications of the PUFA patterns of heart phosphatidylcholine
(PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). In linolenic acid-deprived rats, arachidonic acid was decreased in PC and linoleic
acid was increased in both PC and PE; 22∶5n−6 was strongly depressed in both PC and PE. In linolenic acid-fed rats, 22∶6n−3
was decreased in PC and PE. These changes, on the whole, were more evident in females, and some also were observed in adrenal
cholesteryl esters but only slightly in brain phospholipids. the apparent inhibition of the biosynthesis of PUFA induced by
dietary elaidic acid appeared to be complex and of greater intensity in the n−6 fatty acid series than in their n−3 homologues. 相似文献
The pulsed arc discharge to the surface of wastewater was applied to the degradation of a textile azo dye (Acid Red 27). A
high-voltage electrode (discharging electrode) was vertically placed above the surface of the wastewater while the wastewater
itself was grounded. The pulsed arc discharge occurred between the tip of the discharging electrode and the surface of the
wastewater, producing various oxidative species. Oxygen was used as the working gas instead of air to prevent nitrogen oxides
from forming. The effect of several parameters on the chromaticity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was examined.
The results obtained showed that the chromaticity of the wastewater was completely removed by this process and the COD also
decreased significantly. It has been found that ozone formed in the gas phase mainly affects the removal of the dye. The contribution
of other effects such as ultraviolet light emission and OH radical formation during the arc discharge to the degradation of
the dye was found to be less than 15%. For the present reactor system, the optimum pH, pulse repetition rate and agitation
speed were found to be 3.0, 110 Hz and 300 rpm, respectively. 相似文献
Recent advances in deep learning have enabled robots to grasp objects even in complex environments. However, a large amount of data is required to train the deep-learning network, which leads to a high cost in acquiring the learning data owing to the use of an actual robot or simulator. This paper presents a new form of grasp data that can be generated automatically to minimize the data-collection cost. The depth image is converted into simplified grasp data called an irregular depth tile that can be used to estimate the optimal grasp pose. Additionally, we propose a new grasping algorithm that employs different methods according to the amount of free space in the bounding box of the target object. This algorithm exhibited a significantly higher success rate than the existing grasping methods in grasping experiments in complex environments.
