Gyrotactic microorganisms bioconvection in combined convective magnetohydrodynamic Casson nanofluid flow over a vertically surfaced saturated porous media with variable viscosity

The current article focuses on mass and thermal transfer analysis of a two-dimensional immovable combined convective nanofluid flow including motile microorganisms with temperature-dependent viscosity on top of a vertical plate through a porous medium, and a model has been developed to visualize the velocity slip impacts on a nonlinear partial symbiotic flow. The governed equations include all of the above physical conditions, and suitable nondimensional transfigurations are utilized to transfer the governed conservative equations to a nonlinear system of differential equations and obtain numerical solutions by using the Shooting method. Numerical studies have been focusing on the effects of intricate dimensionless parameters, namely, the Casson fluid parameter, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Peclet number, bioconvection parameter, and Rayleigh number, which have all been studied on various profiles such as momentum, thermal, concentration, and density of microorganisms. The concentration boundary layer thickness and density of microorganisms increased as the Casson fluid parameter, Brownian and thermophoresis parameters increased, whereas the bioconvection parameter, Peclet number, and Rayleigh number increased. The thermal boundary layer thickness, concentration boundary layer thickness, and density of microorganisms all decreased. The velocity distribution decreases as the Peclet number, bioconvection, and thermophoresis parameters rise but rises as the Rayleigh number, Brownian motion parameter, and Casson fluid parameter rise. These are graphed via plots along with divergent fluid parameters.     

改性纳米TiO2光催化降解苯酚活性的研究

在装有紫外光的光催化反应器中，用锐钛型纳米TiO2为光催化剂，进行了苯酚水溶液的光催化降解性能的研究。考察了溶液的pH值、纳米TiO2用量、镍（Ni^2＋）掺杂量、苯酚的初始质量浓度等因素对苯酚水溶液光催化降解过程的影响。结果表明，在pH值为7时，苯酚水溶液的降解率达95％以上，强酸和强碱条件均不利于苯酚的降解。当TiO2用量为50mg，UV辐照40min时，200mL质量浓度为50mg／L的苯酚水溶液的降解率为96．3％；当TiO2用量为150mg，UV辐照60min时，200mL质量浓度100mg／L的苯酚水溶液的降解率为95．8％。镍掺杂增加了TiO2的光催化活性，用质量分数为10％的二氯化镍水溶液掺杂制备的复合光催化剂，苯酚水溶液的降解率比未掺杂时增加13．6％。     

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。

Modeling for local dynamic behaviors of phenol biodegradation in bubble columns

A coupled three-dimensional (3-D) model, combining hydrodynamics with biochemical reactions, was developed to simulate the local transient flow patterns and the dynamic behaviors of cell growth and phenol biodegradation by yeast Candida tropicalis in the bubble-column bioreactor, using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method. In order to validate this proposed model effectively, the validation of the local hydrodynamic characteristics of the gas-mineral salt solution (gas-liquid) two-phase system, with the phenol concentration of 1200 mg/L, and with the absence of cells, was performed in a square-sectioned bubble column bioreactor using the LDA system and conductivity probe. Furthermore, the validation of phenol biodegradation behaviors by yeast Candida tropicalis at different initial concentrations of phenol and cell was also carried out in the above bubble-column bioreactor. The results indicated that the model simulations had a satisfying agreement with the experimental data. Finally, the local instantaneous flow and phenol biodegradation features including gas holdup, gas velocity, liquid velocity, cell concentration and phenol concentration inside the bioreactor were successfully predicted in different-scale bubble columns by the proposed model. © 2006 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2006     

Comparison between photocatalytic ozonation and other oxidation processes for the removal of phenols from water

Photocatalytic ozonation (1O₃ + VUV + TiO₂), ozonation (O₃), catalytic ozonation (O₃ + TiO₂), ozone photolysis (O₃ + VUV), photocatalysis (TiO₂ + VUV) and photolysis (VUV) have been compared in terms of formation of intermediates, extent of, mineralization (TOC, COD, chloride, nitrate) and kinetics in the aqueous treatment of three phenols (phenol, p‐chlorophenol and p‐nitrophenol). In all cases, photocatalytic ozonation led to lower degradation times for chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon removal. Intermediates formed were similar in the different oxidation systems with some exceptions. They can be classified into three different types: polyphenols (resorcinol, catechol, hydroquinone), unsaturated carboxylic acids (maleic and fumaric acids) and saturated carboxylic acids (glyoxylic, formic and oxalic acids). First order kinetic equations have been checked for the oxidation processes studied in the case of the parent compound. Rate constants of these systems have also been calculated.
