Surface modifications of activated carbon by gamma irradiation

Four commercial activated carbons with different chemical and textural characteristics were modified by gamma irradiation under five different conditions: irradiated in absence of water, in presence of ultrapure water, in ultrapure water at pH = 1.0 and 1000 mg L⁻¹ Cl⁻, in ultrapure water at pH = 7.5 and 1000 mg L⁻¹ Br⁻, and in ultrapure water at pH = 12.5 and 1000 mg L⁻¹ NO₃⁻. Changes in surface chemistry were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; pH of point of zero charge, total acidic groups and total basic groups, which were determined by assessment with HCl and NaOH; and textural changes were determined by obtaining the corresponding adsorption isotherms of N₂ and CO₂. Outcomes show that the activated carbon surface chemistry can be modified by gamma irradiation and that the changes depend on the irradiation conditions. Modifications in the sp² hybridization of the surface carbons suggest that the irradiated carbons undergo graphitization. Measurements of structural parameters indicate that the irradiation treatment does not modify the textural properties of the carbons. Finally, studies of pristine and irradiated activated carbons using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with the Kubelka–Munk function revealed a reduction in band gap energy in the irradiated carbons associated with an increase in sp² hybridization of the carbon atoms.     

Role of activated carbon on micropollutans degradation by ionizing radiation

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of the presence of activated carbon on the degradation of the triiodinated contrast medium diatrizoate (DTZ) by the simultaneous use of gamma radiation and activated carbon. Four commercial activated carbons (Ceca, Witco, Sorbo, and Merck) with different textural and chemical characteristics were used for this purpose. The percentage DTZ removal obtained was considerably higher with the gamma radiation/activated carbon (GM/AC) system than with radiolysis in the absence of activated carbon, and it depended on the specific activated carbon employed. First, we optimized the amount of activated carbon required to maximize the amount of DTZ removed by the GM/AC system (0.06 g). The degradation constants were higher with the GM/AC system than with radiolysis alone, evidencing a synergic effect that favors pollutant removal. This synergic effect is independent of the textural but not the chemical characteristics of the activated carbon, observing a higher synergic activity for carbons with a higher surface content of oxygen, specifically quinone groups. We also highlight that the synergic effect of the activated carbon requires adsorbent–adsorbate electrostatic interaction and is absent when this interaction is hindered.

QoS-Aware Composite Services Retrieval

For current service-oriented applications, individual web service usually cannot meet the requirements arising from real world applications, so it is necessary to combine the functionalities of different web services to obtain a composite service in response to users＇ service requests. In order to address the problem of web service composition, this paper proposes an efficient approach to composing basic services in case no any individual service can fully satisfy users＇ requests. Compared with the general strategies adopted in most previously proposed approaches where only the best composition solution is produced, the QoS-aware service composition approach is given and top k solutions in the framework are provided, rather than focusing on obtaining the best composition solution, since the presented approach allows more candidates that are likely to meet the requirements of the users. The approach is based on a succinct binary tree data structure, and a system,named ATC （Approach to Top-k Composite services retrieval） system is implemented. In ATC, Qos is taken into account for composite service, and a heuristic-based search method is proposed to retrieve top k composite service. Some extensive experiments are designed and two web service benchmarks are used for performance study. The experimental results snow that the proposed approach can assure high precision and efficiency for composite service search.

基于普吕克直线的多线结构光视觉传感器标定方法

针对多线结构光系统的快速标定,提出了一种基于普吕克直线的标定方法。传统的线结构光标定方法大多以单点的形式进行提取和坐标系转换,从而获得平面方程。然而单点数量较多会导致操作复杂,不适用于多线结构光的标定。为了解决这个问题,提出了一种新的标定方法,该方法在标定过程中全部采用普吕克矩阵的形式,而不是直接使用点特征。该方法有利于在摄像机坐标系下快速准确地获得光平面方程。同时设计了一种与该方法相对应的用于标定多线结构光的平面标定靶标。为了将一般直线转换为普吕克直线,将图像平面维度延展,定义了一个新的图像空间。为了对普吕克直线的坐标系进行转换,重新表达了基于普吕克直线的透视投影模型。基于普吕克空间中直线与平面的性质,对多条结构光线的普吕克矩阵进行合并即可高效地构造出线性的矩阵方程,从而进一步拟合出结构光平面方程。实验验证了所提方法并证明了校准精度的显著提高,当测试距离为1.8 m时,测量得到的三维点的RMS误差在0.08 mm之内。     

An experimental comparison of a graphite electrode and a gas diffusion electrode for the cathodic production of hydrogen peroxide

This work studies the production of hydrogen peroxide through the cathodic reduction of oxygen in acidic medium, by comparing the results obtained using a commercial graphite and a gas diffusion electrode. A low pH was required to allow the application of hydrogen peroxide generation to an electro-Fenton process. The influence of applied potential and the gas flow composition were investigated. The gas diffusion electrode demonstrates a higher selectivity for hydrogen peroxide production, without significantly compromising the iron regeneration, thus making its successful application to a cathodic Fenton-like treatment, possible. Unlike the graphite cathode, the gas diffusion cathode also proved to be effective in the air flow.     

Effects of calcining conditions of kaolinite on pore structures of mesoporous materials prepared by the selective leaching of calcined kaolinite

This paper describes the effects of calcining conditions of kaolinite on pore structures of the porous materials obtained from the selective leaching of calcined kaolinite using KOH solution. Mesoporous -Al₂O₃ was the predominant crystalline phase in the samples calcined in the temperature range between 950°C and 1050°C for 24 h. The mean specific surface area of these samples was approximately 250 m² · g^–1 and the mean total pore volume was approximately 0.8 ml · g^–1. The pore size distribution curves of these samples showed a sharp peak at around 2–3 nm pore radius. This peak was sharper for the sample calcined at 1000°C for 24 h. On the other hand, the pore sizes of the sample calcined at 1100°C for 24 h increased abruptly to 10–20 nm and this change corresponded to the formation of mullite in the sample. The pore sizes of the samples calcined at 1100°C varied with calcining time. The specific surface area and total pore volume decreased, the longer the calcining time of the samples, and this was correlated with an increase in the amount of mullite in the samples.
