Transformation of the reabsorption characteristics of lignite treated by low and high temperature drying process

Abstract

The reabsorption characteristics of the lignite treated by low and high temperature drying process were addressed in the paper. The information about the moisture form, functional groups, effective water-filled porosities and equilibrium moisture content of the lignite before and after the drying process was investigated using Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and a self-made reabsorption device, respectively. The results show that the low drying temperature (140, 190, 230?°C, 10?min, N₂) has little impact on the effective water-filled porosities of the resulted samples, whereas it has a great influence on the main oxygen-containing functional groups, which amount firstly decreases and then increases with the drying temperature increasing. In the case of the lignite samples dried under high-temperature (600, 700, 800?°C, 30?s, N₂), the amount of the effective water-filled porosity of the sample decreases and the amount of oxygen-containing functional groups increases as the temperature increasing. The reabsorption capability of the high temperature dried sample is much lower than that of the sample treated under low drying temperature. The reabsorption characteristics of the low-temperature dried samples are affected by the amount of the oxygen-containing functional groups, while the effective water-filled porosity is main factor for the lignite samples derived from high temperature drying process. Moreover, the work gives a good evidence that the high-temperature drying process is an effective choose for lignite upgrading.     

An inventory analysis of rural pollution loads in China.

Rural pollution has attracted increasing attention over the past decade for its important consequences on surface and groundwater quality. This is particularly so in China due to the wide and effective control of industrial and municipal wastewater discharges over the past decade. Based on the discussion of rural activities in China, this paper develops a new method of inventory analysis through the definition of elementary unit (EU). This inventory analysis approach is then applied to estimate the total rural pollution loads of COD, TN and TP, as well as their spatial distributions in China. Further analysis is also conducted to investigate the correlations between rural pollution loads and agricultural production outputs, as well as population. It is found that China's agriculture is developing largely at the cost of environment quality, and a high population, as well as the increasing demand for agricultural products, is one of the dominant driving forces. The constructed EKC, which describes the relationship between rural pollution loads and agricultural income, also reveals that current agricultural development in China is mostly far from de-locked from the environmental problem.     

Performance study of iSCSI-based storage subsystems

iISCSI is emerging as an end-to-end protocol for transporting storage I/O block data over IP networks. By exploiting the ubiquitous Internet infrastructure, iSCSI greatly facilitates remote storage, remote backup, and data mirroring. This article evaluates the performance of two typical iSCSI storage subsystems by measuring and analyzing block-level I/O access performance and file-level access performance. In the file-level performance study, we compare file access performance in an NAS scheme with that in an iSCSI-based SAN scheme. Our test results show that Gigabit Ethernet-based iSCSI can reach very high bandwidth, close to that of a direct FC disk access in block I/O access. However, when the iSCSI traverses through longer distance, throughput relies heavily on the available bandwidth between the initiator and the target. On the other hand, the file-level performance shows that iSCSI-based file access (SAN scheme) provides higher performance than using NFS protocol in Linux and SMB protocol in Windows (NAS scheme). However, the advantage of using iSCSI-based file accesses decreases as the file size increases. The obtained experimental results shed some light on the performance of applications based on iSCSI storage.     

Experimental and modeling approaches of MR behaviors under large step strains

Rheological properties of MR fluids under large step strain shear are presented in this paper. The experiments were carried out using a rheometer with parallel-plate geometry. Under the large step strain shear, MR fluids behave as nonlinear viscoelastic properties, where the stress relaxation modulus, G(t, γ), shows a decreasing trend with step strain. The experimental results indicate that G(t, γ) obeys time-strain separability. Thus, a mathematical form based on finite exponential serials is proposed to predict MR behavior. In this model, G(t, γ) is represented as the product of a linear stress relaxation, G(t), and the damping function, h(γ), i.e. G(t, γ)=G(t) h(γ). G(t) is simply represented as a three-parameter exponential serial and h(γ) has a sigmoidal form with two parameters. The parameters are identified by adopting an efficient optimization method proposed by Stango et al. The comparison between the experimental results and the model-predicted values indicates that this mathematical model can accurately predict MR behavior.     

柯克亚油气田混合来源天然气的地球化学特征

柯克亚油气田是我国开发比较早的一个油气田,但由于受混源和其他因素的影响,对气源的认识众说纷纭。通过对天然气的地球化学特征的分析,并参照国内外关于甲烷、乙烷、丙烷碳同位素关系方面的资料,提出了如下看法:柯克亚天然气碳同位素相对较重,与塔里木盆地下古生界海相天然气的碳同位素组成区别较大;根据天然气40Ar/36Ar组成,柯克亚油气田的气源不是单一来源;柯克亚油气田绝大多数天然气的甲烷和乙烷碳同位素值关系符合Faber推断的 型有机质方程直线关系,说明有机质属于较好的有机质类型,或者是由原油裂解形成的天然气;除了K2井和K18井天然气成熟度较低以外,绝大多数天然气的成熟度大约在1.8%～2.2%之间,属于高过成熟气,但也混有一些成熟度在0.9%～1.2%的源岩形成的天然气;推测天然气主要来源于石炭系―二叠系源岩,而混有成熟度低的源岩形成的天然气则有可能来自侏罗系源岩。

岩石圈深部温度压力条件下褐煤与水的热模拟研究

在压力高达1—3GPa、温度为400—700℃的条件下，在密闭体系中进行了褐煤加水的模拟实验。分析了实验产物中液态烃的变化规律，并讨论了压力、温度及恒温时间对有机质演化的影响。实验结果表明，热模拟液态产物氯仿沥青“A”的有机碳含量为0．91％-2．55％，2GPa条件下其高峰值后移至700℃，说明高压抑制了液态烃的生成，同时压力升高有利于有机质降解产物的环化、聚合和芳构化。在400—600℃条件下，温度升高或恒温时间增长，OEP和Pr／Ph值均减小；而在700℃的恒温条件下，压力增高，OEP和Pr／Ph值均增大。说明有机质的成熟度与温度和加热时间成正相关，而压力增加抑制了有机质的成熟演化。在高压条件下，芳烃演化的主要趋势是甲基化作用，压力升高有利于甲基化反应和甲基重排。
