Coal liquefaction kinetics have been studied at very short reaction times (less than 250 seconds) in order to emphasize the initial underlying physical and chemical processes involved. These studies were made possible by the use of a continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR) which avoids the problems of slow heat up and cool down associated with the massive equipment required for running high-temperature and high-pressure liquefaction reactions. Preliminary physical (NMR and ESR) and chemical analytical results are presented on the coal liquids and reaction residues from Illinois No. 6 hv bituminous and Wyodak Black Thunder subbituminous coals.
ESR results showed that radical concentration in the solid residue changed during coal liquefaction. These changes were accompanied by changes in the NMR-derived aromaticity. The rate of decrease of organic-based radicals was different for Wyodak Black Thunder and Illinois No. 6 coals, perhaps indicating a different mechanism for the quenching of radicals in these bituminous and subbituminous coals. NMR spectra of the liquid products indicated that the initially produced material was relatively aromatic, and that subsequent products had lower aromatic content. This is consistent with secondary hydrogenation of the primary liquefaction products. Finally, the total oxygen contents of the coal residues decreased gradually during the first three minutes of coal liquefaction at 390°C. A corresponding decrease in the hydroxyl content of these residues was also noted. 相似文献
Summary The surface modification of low-density polyethylene(PE) by liquid phase photograft polymerization with acrylic acid(AA), acrylamide(AM) and glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) was described. The grafting of AA and AM was proved and characterized by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA). It was found that fully hydrophilic surface can be obtained in very short irradiation time. With ESCA and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy(ATR-IR), it can be confirmed that bifunctional monomer GMA was grafted onto the PE film surface. Through further reaction with GMA grafted film, heparin and protamine were immobilized onto the grafted film surface. 相似文献
A complete critical evaluation and thermodynamic modeling of the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of the MgO–Al2O3–CrO–Cr2O3 system at 1 bar total pressure are presented. Optimized equations for the thermodynamic properties of all phases are obtained which reproduce all available thermodynamic and phase equilibrium data within experimental error limits from 25°C to above the liquidus temperatures at all compositions and oxygen partial pressures. The optimized thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams are believed to be the best estimates presently available. The database of the model parameters can be used along with software for Gibbs energy minimization in order to calculate any type of phase diagram section. 相似文献
Methanol selective oxidation to formaldehyde over a modified Fe-Mo catalyst with two different stoichiometric (Mo/Fe atomic ratio = 1.5 and 3.0) was studied experimentally in a fixed bed reactor over a wide range of reaction conditions. The physicochemical characterization of the prepared catalysts provides evidence that Fe2(MoO4)3 is in fact the active phase of the catalyst. The experimental results of conversion of methanol and selectivity towards formaldehyde for various residence times were studied. The results showed that as the residence time increases the yield of formaldehyde decreases. Selectivity of formaldehyde decreases with increase in residence time. This result is attributable to subsequent oxidation of formaldehyde to carbon monoxide due to longer residence time. 相似文献
An infiltration method for preparing a boron carbide-aluminum (B4C-AI) composite was modified so as to reduce the processing temperature and time. Titanium metal and titanium-based compounds were added to B4C powders to enhance the wettability of the liquid aluminum on boron carbide skeletons. As expected, the time required for infiltration was significantly reduced on using the additives. Of these additives titanium metal was the most effective in facilitating aluminum infiltration. Another method, involving the heat treatment of boron carbide compacts at 1300°3C for 1 h before infiltration, was attempted, and a significant improvement was gained. These findings show that the treatment modified the surface condition of boron carbide powders via the removal of oxides. An additional attempt was made to increase the boron carbide content of the system by using a bimodal powder mixture. A maximum green density of 78% was achieved by mixing fine particle size and coarse particle size powders. The infiltrated boron carbide composites prepared using a bimodal powder with a preinfiltration heat treatment of the compacts exhibited promising mechanical properties, such as a Vickers hardness ( H V) of 11 Gpa and an indentation toughness ( K IC) in the range of 5–7.5 MPa·m1/2. 相似文献
The performance of a new type of CoMoS/Al2O3 catalyst, with added fluorine and prepared by sonochemical and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods, was investigated in the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). The catalyst, which was designed to contain optimum amounts of fluorine and cobalt, exhibited a higher activity, ca. 4.6 times higher activity particularly in the HDS of 4,6-DMDBT, than a fluorine-free catalyst prepared by a conventional impregnation method. The enhanced activity of the new catalyst can be attributed to the cumulative effects of individual factors involved in the catalyst preparation. That is, the use of a sonochemical synthesis led to a high dispersion of small MoS2 crystallites on the alumina, and the addition of the Co species to the catalyst by CVD caused a close interaction between the Co species and the MoS2 crystallites to produce numerous CoMoS species, which are the catalytically active species for HDS. The addition of fluorine increased the amounts of acidic sites in the catalyst, which promoted hydrogenation (HYD) route to a greater extent than the direct desulfurization (DDS) route in DBT HDS and both HYD and DDS routes to similar extents in the case of 4,6-DMDBT HDS. Accordingly, the addition of fluorine led to a greater increase in catalytic activity for 4,6-DMDBT HDS than for DBT HDS. 相似文献
The objectives of this research are to identify the membrane fouling potential due to different fractions of NOM and correlate
the physicochemical properties of NOM and membranes with the adsorption of humic substances on membrane and investigate the
mechanism of coagulation affecting UF, and find the optimum conditions of the combined of coagulation with UF membrane filtration
for NOM removal. For Nakdong river water, the humic acid fraction was the most reactive precursor fraction for the formation
of the ratio of THMFP/DOC (STHMFP) and TOXFP/DOC (STOXFP). The result of adsorption kinetics tests showed that hydrophobic
organics adsorbed much more quickly than hydrophilic organics on both membranes. Thus, hydrophobic compounds exhibited a preferential
adsorption onto membrane. In case of the effect of membrane properties on the adsorption of organic fractions, the adsorption
ratio (C1/Ce) was greater for the hydrophobic membrane than for the hydrophilic membrane regardless of the kind of organic fractions.
For combined coagulation with membrane process, flux reduction rate showed lower than the UF process alone. Also, the rate
of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was considerably greater than for the hydrophilic membrane. Applying the coagulation
process before membrane filtration showed not only reduced membrane fouling, but also improved removal of dissolved organic
materials that might otherwise not be removed by the membrane. That is, during the mixing period, substantial changes in particle
size distribution occurred under rapid and slow mixing conditions due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM
precipitates. Therefore, combined pretreatment using coagulation (both rapid mixing and slow mixing) improved not only dissolved
organic removal efficiency but also DBP (Disinfection By-Product) precursor's removal efficiency. 相似文献
