EFFECT OF ESCAPE DEVICE FOR SUBMERGED FLOATING TUNNEL （SFT） ON HYDRODYNAMIC LOADS APPLIED TO SFT

This paper presents a potential approach to settle the problem of surviving major safety accidents in Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) that detachable emergency escape devices are set up outside SFT. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology is used to investigate the effect of emergency escape devices on the hydrodynamic load acting on SFT in uniform and oscillatory flows and water waves by numerical test. The governing equations, i.e., the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and standard turbulence equations, are solved by the Finite Volume Method (FVM). Analytic solutions for the Airy wave are applied to set boundary conditions to generate water wave. The VOF method is used to trace the free surface. In uniform flow, hydrodynamic loads, applied to SFT with emergency escape device, reduce obviously. But, in oscillatory flow, it has little influence on hydrodynamic loads acting on SFT. Horizontal and vertical wave loads of SFT magnify to some extend due to emergency escape devices so that the influence of emergency escape devices on hydrodynamic loads of SFT should be taken into consideration when designed.

Synthesis, structure and catalytic behavior of ytterbium complexes bearing a phenoxy（quinolinyl）amide ligand

Two ytterbium complexes stabilized by phenoxy(quinolinyl)amide ligand 3,5-Bu t 2 -2-OC 6 H 2 CH 2 N-8-C 9 H 6 N (L) were synthesized and characterized. Reaction of anhydrous YbCl 3 with 1 equiv. of LLi 2 in THF gave the ytterbium chloride [LYbCl(THF)] 2 (1) in 73% yield. A further reaction of complex 1 with equimolar of NaN(SiMe 3 ) 2 in THF afforded the unexpected heterobimetallic "ate"-complex L 2 YbNa(THF) 2 (2) via a ligand redistribution reaction. Complex 2 could also be prepared in high isolated yield by the reaction of anhydrous YbCl 3 with 2 equiv. of LNa 2 generated in situ. Both complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that complex 2 was an effective catalyst for the addition reaction of aromatic amines to carbodiimides.     

Optimization of parameters for cerium（III） biosorption onto biowaste materials of animal and plant origin using 5-level Box-Behnken design：Equilibrium,kinetic, thermodynamic and regeneration studies

Response surface methodology （RSM） employing 5-level Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the biosorption of cerium（III） onto biowaste materials of animal and plant origin viz. prawn carapace （PC） and corn style （CS）. Various process parameters viz. pH （A：3.0-9.0）, biomass dosage （B：0.05-0.35 g/L）, initial metal concentration （C：50-350 mg/L）, contact time （D：2-6 h） and temperature （E：20-60 ℃ were chosen for optimization. A log transformation was suggested by the Box-Cox plot in the present case. A low p-value of〈0.0001 validated the significance of the model. Maximum Ce（III） uptake of 218.3 mg/g for PC and 180.2 mg/g for CS was noted under optimum conditions. Among the equilibrium isotherms, Freundlich model was found to be the best fitted one suggesting a heterogeneous mode of biosorption on PC whereas Langmuir model showed the best fit suggesting homogeneous mode of cerium biosorption on CS. This was further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. Kinetic studies showed better applicability of pseudo-first order model suggesting physisorption as phenomena underlying the process. Film-diffusion was suggested by the non-linearity of the Boyd plot. Thermodynamic studies showed that the process was endothermic and spontaneous. FTIR analysis confirmed a major involvement of the participation of amide, amines, ketones and primary alcohol groups during Ce（III） biosorption. EDAX analysis confirmed the major participation of carbon group during Ce（III） biosorption. This was the first report on parameter optimization of Ce（III） biosorption onto biowaste materials using 5-level Box-Behnken experimental design which might be helpful for the recovery of Ce（III） from aqueous environment.
