Preparation and characterization of porous carbon beads and their application in dispersing small metal crystallites

Porous carbon beads were prepared by the pyrolysis of poly(vinylidene chloride) beads that were synthesized by suspension polymerization. After prolysis treatment at 180–300 °C under argon stream, the polymeric beads were further carbonized at 1000 °C for 3 h under argon stream to acquire porous carbon beads, of which the specific surface area was about 1000 m²/g, and pore size was mainly in the width range of 0.8–1.2 nm. The carbon structure and surface chemical composition characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, depended on the preparation temperature and the relations between them were examined. The characterization of the carbon beads by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy presented the morphological structure of the carbon beads surface and a global view of pores. The dispersion of nickel crystallites on the carbon beads surface was characterized by electron microprobe analysis. This study reveals that uniform surface morphological structure leads to the fine dispersion of metal crystallites.     

Posture variation among office workers when using different information and communication technologies at work and away from work

Office workers perform tasks using different information and communication technologies (ICT) involving various postures. Adequate variation in postures and muscle activity is generally believed to protect against musculoskeletal complaints, but insufficient information exists regarding the effect on postural variation of using different ICT. Thus, this study among office workers aimed to determine and compare postures and postural variation associated with using distinct types of ICT. Upper arm, head and trunk postures of 24 office workers were measured with the Physiometer® over a whole day in their natural work and away-from-work environments. Postural variation was quantified using two indices: APDF_(90-10) and EVA_(sd). Various ICT had different postural means and variation. Paper-based tasks had more non-neutral, yet also more variable postures. Electronics-based tasks had more neutral postures, with less postural variability. Tasks simultaneously using paper- and electronics-based ICT had least neutral and least variable postures. Tasks without ICT usually had the most posture variability. Interspersing tasks involving different ICT could increase overall exposure variation among office workers and may thus contribute to musculoskeletal risk reduction.

Carbonaceous adsorbents from sewage sludge and their application in a combined activated sludge-powdered activated carbon (AS-PAC) treatment

In this study, waste biological sludge is converted to an adsorbent by chemical activation with sulphuric acid. The adsorbent obtained is then applied to the aerated vessel of an activated sludge process treating glucose and phenol to improve the quality of the treated effluent. The sludge-based carbonaceous adsorbent was found to be mesoporous in nature, with a good adsorption capacity for large molecular weight compounds and limited removal efficiency for smaller molecules such as phenol. The addition of carbon, either sludge-based or commercial, enhanced phenol removal from 58% to 98.7% and from 87% to 93% the organic matter removal as measured by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) when operated with feed concentrations of 100 mg phenol/l and 2500 mg COD/l. No differences were found between the activated sludge-activated carbon bench scale continuous reactors operating with either commercial or sludge-based adsorbents in spite of the higher adsorption capacity of the former. It is suggested that powdered adsorbent bioregeneration in the combined AS-PAC system may be impaired by the obstruction of pores due to bacterial growth, the effect being more important for the commercial activated carbon with a narrower pore size distribution.
