Treatment of methanol wastewater with two-stage and two-phase anaerobic process

The two-stage and two-phase anaerobic process (TSTP) composed of hydrolytic acidification reactor,first-order and second-order external circulation anaerobic reactors (EC) was taken to treat methanol wastewater. Test results show that TSTP process is quick start-up in 51 d, and the maximum VFA of hydrolytic acidification reactor effluent reaches 876 mg/L. Under the condition of volume loading of 6.56 kgCOD/m3·d, COD removal rate of the first-order EC reactor is about 85%, and under the condition of volume loading of 1.02 kgCOD/m3·d, COD removal rate of the second-order EC reactor is about 50%. When the inflow COD of TSTP process is between 7000-11000 mg/L, its effluent COD is lower than 600 mg/L. In the biological conversion process of methanol into methane,the production of acetic acids as an intermediate product can be ignored and the direct production of methane from methanol is predominant.

为了论证在防治浅层气地质工程灾害中预先采取的有控制性排气措施的合理性和必要性,借助非饱和水气两相渗流原理,研究浅层气藏在气体释放路径下的气水运移规律.采用数值方法描述排气井不同释放速率对地下浅层气藏中气水运移的影响.结果表明:气体释放速率对气藏中的气水运移和分布形态有显著影响,释放速率越快,"水锥"效应越明显;实际工程中需结合详勘数据,选取适宜的排气速率,实施控制性放气措施,避免过早发生淹井,导致气井快速失效;在气藏中的浅层气体释放完毕后,砂土中会残留部分以气泡形式存在的气体,施工过程中需引起重视.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of spouted bed: Influence of frictional stress, maximum packing limit and coefficient of restitution of particles

Following the previous article [Du, W., Bao, X., Xu, J., Wei, W., 2006. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of spouted bed: assessment of drag coefficient correlations. Chemical Engineering Science 61 (5), 1401-1420], this contribution describes the influences of the frictional stress, maximum packing limit and coefficient of restitution of particles on CFD simulation of spouted beds. Using the two-fluid method embedded in the commercial CFD simulation package Fluent 6.1, the spouting hydrodynamics of a cylindrical-conical spouted bed was simulated and verified with the experimental data of He et al. [He, Y.L., Lim, C.J., Grace, J.R., Zhu, J.X., Qin, S.Z., 1994a. Measurements of voidage profiles in spouted beds. Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering 72 (4), 229-234; He, Y.L., Qin, S.Z., Lim, C.J., Grace, J.R., 1994b. Particle velocity profiles and solid flow patterns in spouted beds. Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering 72(8), 561-568]. The results showed that, for coarse particles, the frictional stress is important only for the annulus computation and has no obvious effects on the hydrodynamics of the solids flow in the spout region. The specification of the maximum packing limit could significantly affect the properties of the pseudo-fluid phase of the particles by changing the radial distribution function. The strong dependence of the pseudo-fluid properties of the particle phase, such as pressure, bulk viscosity and shear viscosity, on the granular temperature accounts for the influence of the coefficient of restitution of particles on CFD modeling. The solids volume fraction at loose packing state is suitable for spouted bed simulations, and a pretest of the coefficient of restitution of particles must be conducted when no experimental datum is available.     

Diffusion of ellipsoidal granular particles in shear flow

The diffusion of nonspherical particles has not been well understood due to the complexity of their contact mechanics and self-organization of their orientations. We perform discrete element method simulations of monodisperse ellipsoids in a shear flow with Lees-Edwards boundary conditions to quantify the relation between the diffusion coefficient and the flow parameters. The results indicate that the particle aspect ratio strongly affects the diffusion coefficient by influencing the particle orientation and alignment. We develop a scaling law for the diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the flow direction, D_yy, which combines the influences of the shear rate , the solids fraction f, the effective particle diameter d_eff and the particle aspect ratio Z. We show that , where k_d is a dimensionless pre-factor, and a fit is obtained for the functional form of χ(f, Z). This scaling law will be useful in developing continuum transport models for applications.     

Modelling of a RDC using a combined CFD-population balance approach

In the present study we propose an extension of the Euler/Lagrangian approach for liquid-liquid two phase flows when the volume fraction of the dispersed phase is not small. The continuous phase velocity is obtained by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations augmented with the k-ε turbulence model. The motion of the dispersed phase is calculated by solving the equations of motion taking into account inertia, drag and buoyancy forces. The coupling between the phases is described by momentum source terms and the terms that account for turbulence generation by the droplets’ motion. Collision and breakage of the droplets are treated by a single particle Monte-Carlo stochastic simulation method. This method is based on a mass flow formulation and operator splitting technique. For validation of the numerical procedure the droplet size distribution and flow fields in a rotating disc contactor are calculated and compared with the existing experimental results.     

湿法磷酸固-液体系混沌混合与浸出强化行为

湿法磷酸浸出过程中，传统刚性搅拌桨的作用方式主要是剪切作用，容易形成对称性流场结构，降低搅拌效率。实验考察了桨叶类型、离底高度、搅拌速度、柔性钢丝绳长度、柔性钢丝直径对磷矿浸出率及最大Lyapunov指数(LLE)的影响。实验结果表明：刚柔组合桨通过刚-柔-流的耦合作用，改善流场的结构，提高了流体混沌混合效果。当搅拌转速225 r/min，浸出时间120 min，离底高度h=T/4，柔性钢丝绳直径d= 0.42r，柔性钢丝绳长度L=1.3T时，刚柔组合桨的最大Lyapunov指数达到0.09071，磷矿浸出率提高了10.8%。另外，在相同的功耗(P _v=9890 W/m³)条件下，刚柔组合桨使反应器内的悬浮均匀度和渣中磷含量分别降低了40.8%和17.67%，有效地改善了晶体的形貌，提高了磷石膏的过滤性能，强化了颗粒的混合与浸出。
