An economic and energy-efficient CO2 separation from these gas streams is a prerequisite for sustainable industry contributions to the megatrends resource efficiency and globalization of technologies. One way of reducing operational expenditure for these separation processes is the development of better performing CO2 absorbents. Although a number of absorbents for the separation of CO2 from process gas streams exist, the need for the development of CO2 absorbents with an improved absorption performance, less corrosion and foaming, no nitrosamine formation, lower energy requirement and therefore less operational expenditure remains. Recent industrial activities have led to the development of novel high-performance CO2 scrubbing agents that can be employed in numerous industrial processes such as natural gas treatment, purification of syngas and the scrubbing of flue gas. The objective of this paper is to introduce these new high-performance scrubbing agents and to compare their performance with other state-of-the-art absorbents. It turned out, that the evaluated absorbents offer high cyclic capacities in the range of 2.4 to 2.6 mol CO2/kg absorbent and low absorption enthalpies (–30 kJ/mol) allowing for distinctive savings in the regeneration energy of the absorbent. Calculations with the modified Kremser model resulted in a reduction of the specific reboiler heat duty of 55%. Furthermore, the absorbents are less corrosive than standard amines as indicated by the measured corrosion rates of 0.21 mm/y versus 1.18 mm/y for a piperazine/methyldiethanolamine mixture. Based on new experimental results it is shown how substantial savings in operational and capital expenditure can be realized due to favorable absorbent properties. The novel high-performance CO2 system solutions meet recent industrial absorbent requirements and allow for more efficient or new CO2 separation processes.展开更多

The detection frequencies and concentrations of UVAs in 2016 were significantly higher than those in 2015.2-Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and homosalate (HMS) were the predominant UVAs in the sediment samples. The total UVA concentration range in sediment samples was 0.15–85.3 ng/g. The spatial distribution results showed that UVAs were concentrated in the northwest of Taihu Lake. The total organic carbon content may affect the fate of UVAs in sediments. Source analysis and correlation analysis showed that the following compounds had high proportions and significant correlations: 2-ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and HMS in 2015;and benzophenone-3, HMS, and benzyl salicylate in 2016. These results indicated the correlated compounds within each year had the same source. Ecological risk assessment results showed that UVAs in sediment from Taihu Lake may present a moderate risk to benthic organisms. The risk quotient of UVAs in 2016 was slightly higher than that in 2015. The seasonal pollution characteristics of UVAs and their comprehensive environmental risks should receive further attention.展开更多

文摘MEA aqueous solution is widely utilized as an absorbent in chemical absorption processes.However,it is challenged by many disadvantages,including low regeneration capacity and high energy consumption during regeneration.In this study,new no-aqueous MEA absorbents were prepared using alcohol ether organic solvents,including proprylene glycol monomethyl ether(PGME),ethylene glycol butyl ether(EGBE),poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether(NHD)and diethylene glycol monoethyl Ether(DGME).Then the performance of the absorbents was assessed through a series of experiments and based on the results,a comparison was made between the non-aqueous absorbents to the conventional absorbent(30%(mass)MEA aqueous solution).It was found that the organic solvent system presented a higher CO_(2)removal efficiency than the MEA-H_(2)O system in the first 350 s,with the maximum enhancement ranging from 5.16%to 14.36%.While NHD improved the CO_(2)loading but reduced the regeneration efficiency.Except for the MEA-NHD system,all the other no-aqueous absorbents possessed a better regeneration efficiency than the MEA aqueous solution,which offers them the potential for industrial application.According to the data from NMR and FTIR analysis,after CO_(2)absorption,the products in the MEA-EGBE and MEA-DGME systems were mainly found in the lower phase,the other phase was mainly organic solvents.Therefore,only the lower phase needs to be treated during desorption,with the upper phase being recycled directly,thus reducing energy consumption.The use of alcohol ether organic solvents can improve the CO_(2)capture performance of absorbents to a certain extent and enhance their regeneration ability,providing a new direction for the subsequent research of non-aqueous absorbents.
文摘The present paper renders a modeling and a 2D numerical simulation for the removal of CO_2from CO_2/CH_4gaseous stream utilizing sodium hydroxide(NaOH),monoethanolamine(MEA)and triethanolamine(TEA)liquid absorbents inside the hollow fiber membrane contactor.Counter-current arrangement of absorbing agents and CO_2/CH_4gaseous mixture flows are implemented in the modeling and numerical simulation.Non-wetting and partial wetting modes of operation are considered where in the partial wetting mode,CO_2/CH_4gaseous mixture and liquid absorbents fill the membrane pores.The deteriorated removal of CO_2in the partial wetting mode of operation is mainly due to the mass transfer resistance imposed by the liquid in the pores of membrane.The validation of numerical simulation is done based on the comparison of simulation results of CO_2removal using Na OH and experimental data under non-wetting mode of operation.The comparison illustrates a desirable agreement with an average deviation of less than 5%.According to the results,MEA provides higher efficiency for CO_2removal in comparison with the other liquid absorbents.The order for CO_2removal performance is MEAN Na OHN TEA.The influence of non-wetting and partial wetting modes of operation on CO_2removal are evaluated in this article as one of the novelties.Besides,the percentage of CO_2sequestration as a function of gas velocity for various percentages of membrane pores wetting ranging from 0(non-wetting mode of operation)to 100%(complete wetting mode of operation)is studied in this research paper,which can be proposed as the other novelty.The results indicate that increase in some operational parameters such as module length,membrane porosity and absorbents concentration encourage the removal percentage of CO_2from CO_2/CH_4gaseous mixture while increasing in membrane tortuosity,gas velocity and initial CO_2concentration has unfavorable influence on the separation efficiency of CO_2.

文摘The effect of the presence of trace SO_(2)in industrial flue gas on the amine-scrubbing-based absorption process for CO_(2)capture has been a matter of concern.This study aimed to investigate the effect of trace SO_(2)on the CO_(2)capture process using piperazine-based amine absorbents,focusing on SO_(2)-resistance capability,SO_(2)/CO_(2)absorption selectivity,and cyclic stability.The presence of trace SO_(2)not only restrains CO_(2)absorption,but also promotes the formation of carbamate within the piperazine-based amine absorbents.Remarkably,the incorporation of aminoethyl group in piperazine-based amine absorbents can enhance the SO_(2)-resistance capability by promoting the formation of carbamate,while piperazine-based amine absorbents with hydroxyethyl group can promote the formation of bicarbonate to reduce the SO_(2)-resistance capability.The work offers valuable insights into the efficient application of novel amine absorbents for CO_(2)capture from practical industrial flue gas.
文摘The CO2 separation from natural gas, syngas or flue gas represents an important industrial field of applications. An economic and energy-efficient CO2 separation from these gas streams is a prerequisite for sustainable industry contributions to the megatrends resource efficiency and globalization of technologies. One way of reducing operational expenditure for these separation processes is the development of better performing CO2 absorbents. Although a number of absorbents for the separation of CO2 from process gas streams exist, the need for the development of CO2 absorbents with an improved absorption performance, less corrosion and foaming, no nitrosamine formation, lower energy requirement and therefore less operational expenditure remains. Recent industrial activities have led to the development of novel high-performance CO2 scrubbing agents that can be employed in numerous industrial processes such as natural gas treatment, purification of syngas and the scrubbing of flue gas. The objective of this paper is to introduce these new high-performance scrubbing agents and to compare their performance with other state-of-the-art absorbents. It turned out, that the evaluated absorbents offer high cyclic capacities in the range of 2.4 to 2.6 mol CO2/kg absorbent and low absorption enthalpies (–30 kJ/mol) allowing for distinctive savings in the regeneration energy of the absorbent. Calculations with the modified Kremser model resulted in a reduction of the specific reboiler heat duty of 55%. Furthermore, the absorbents are less corrosive than standard amines as indicated by the measured corrosion rates of 0.21 mm/y versus 1.18 mm/y for a piperazine/methyldiethanolamine mixture. Based on new experimental results it is shown how substantial savings in operational and capital expenditure can be realized due to favorable absorbent properties. The novel high-performance CO2 system solutions meet recent industrial absorbent requirements and allow for more efficient or new CO2 separation processes.

文摘The occurrences and spatial distributions of eight organic ultraviolet absorbents (UVAs) were investigated in surface sediments from Taihu Lake, China. The detection frequencies and concentrations of UVAs in 2016 were significantly higher than those in 2015.2-Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and homosalate (HMS) were the predominant UVAs in the sediment samples. The total UVA concentration range in sediment samples was 0.15–85.3 ng/g. The spatial distribution results showed that UVAs were concentrated in the northwest of Taihu Lake. The total organic carbon content may affect the fate of UVAs in sediments. Source analysis and correlation analysis showed that the following compounds had high proportions and significant correlations: 2-ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and HMS in 2015;and benzophenone-3, HMS, and benzyl salicylate in 2016. These results indicated the correlated compounds within each year had the same source. Ecological risk assessment results showed that UVAs in sediment from Taihu Lake may present a moderate risk to benthic organisms. The risk quotient of UVAs in 2016 was slightly higher than that in 2015. The seasonal pollution characteristics of UVAs and their comprehensive environmental risks should receive further attention.

文摘Electromagnetic(EM)metamaterial absorbers(MMAs)with broadband absorption are of growing interest for applications such as stealth and EM interference mitigation.In this work,we present a novel 3D-printed MMA based on a fused annular microfluidic metaatom(FAMMA)architecture,designed for W-band absorption.The FAMMA structure features three kinds of orthogonally fused annual meta-atoms,forming a complex 3D microfluidic meta-atom with intricate architecture.Fabricated via high-precision micro 3D printing technology,the FAMMA-based MMA exploits the synergistic solid-liquid coupling effect of the unique three-dimensional orthogonal structure to achieve strong broadband absorption.Three representative FAMMAs with different geometric dimensions have achieved ultra-low reflection loss(RL of-42.1 dB),ultra-broadband effective absorption bandwidth(EAB of 31.3 GHz),and dual-band absorption(in 76.0-85.3 and 99.1-105.6 GHz),respectively.The underlying absorption mechanisms are elucidated by impedance matching theory and electromagnetic field distribution analyses.Application demonstrations show that the FAMMA-based MMA significantly suppresses radar echo power and renders metallic targets undetectable to both radar detector and radar imaging systems,highlighting its potential in stealth technology.Overall,this work establishes a new design concept for high-performance broadband millimeter wave MMAs,opening new avenue for future applications such as high-speed communication,through-wall sensing,and drone detection.

文摘A methodology for the reduction of radar cross section(RCS)of cambered platforms within the target airspace is presented,which utilizes a dual-polarized ultra-wide-angle artificial electromagnetic absorbing surface.By applying the theory of generalized Brewster complex wave impedance matching,five distinct unit cell designs are developed to attain more than95%absorption rate for dual-polarized incident waves within five angular ranges:0°-30°,30°-50°,50°-60°,60°-70°,and 70°-80°.To optimally reduce the RCS of a cambered platform,the five types of units can be evenly distributed on the surface based on the local incident angles of plane waves originating from the target airspace.As an illustrative example,the leading edge of an airfoil is taken into account,and experimental measurements validate the efficiency of the proposed structure.Specifically,the absorbing surface achieves more than 10 dB of RCS reduction in the frequency ranges from 5-10 GHz(about66.7%relative bandwidth)for dual polarizations.

文摘Materials exhibiting broadband nonlinear optical responses are critically important for ultrafast photonics applications,particularly as saturable absorbers(SAs)that facilitate broadband optical pulse generation.In this study,tea polyphenolpolyvinyl alcohol(TP-PVA)composite films are synthesized via a polymer embedding method and employed as SAs to initiate ultrafast pulse operation in fiber lasers.The TP-PVA SA film exhibits excellent broadband saturable absorption performance at wavelengths of 1.0μm,1.5μm,and 2.0μm,with modulation depths of 54.21%,41.41%,and 51.16%,respectively.Stable passively mode-locked pulses with pulse widths of 588 fs,419 fs,and 743 fs are generated in Yb-,Er-,and Tm-doped fiber lasers,respectively.This work confirms the effective performance of TP-PVA as a broadband SA,and establishes a foundation for the integration of novel and sustainable materials within ultrafast photonic systems.The approach paves the way for developing compact broadband ultrafast laser systems operating in the near-infrared spectral region.

文摘Though the formation of polysulfide is desirable,as it contributes to the capacity build-up,it must not leak into the electrolyte.The loss of polysulfide causes capacity fade,a change in the local chemistry of the electrolyte,and anode poisoning.Constant efforts are in progress to find suitable polysulfide-absorbing materials;however,the magical polysulfide absorber is yet to be discovered or developed.Experimental methods alone often fall short in accelerating the investigations may be due to the complex Nature of the testing.This review focuses on the importance of computational methods,particularly density functional theory(DFT),in screening suitable polysulfide absorbers.It highlights the critical role of anchoring materials in improving Na-S battery performance,including pristine and doped graphene,metal–organic frameworks,carbon Nanofibers,vanadium disulfide,MXenes,and metal sulfides.By examining adsorption energies,charge transfer mechanisms,and catalytic properties,this review provides insights into the design of advanced materials that can effectively immobilize polysulfides and enhance battery stability.The review aims to guide future research efforts toward the development of high-performance RT Na-S batteries through a comprehensive understanding of the polysulfide-absorbing materials.

文摘Since the view that the localized rail third-order bending mode can cause high-order polygonization(mainly 18-23)of high-speed train wheels was put forward in 2017,many scholars have attempted to link a connection between the localized rail bending modes and wheel polygonization phenomenon and polygonal wheel passing frequency.This paper first establishes a flexible track model considering the structural and parametric characteristics of fasteners,verifies the model by using vehicle tracking test data,then investigates the influence of fastener parameter matching on the localized rail bending modes,and obtains the following conclusions:(1)There is nearly a 1:1 mapping relationship between the localized rail bending modal frequency and polygonal wheel passing(PWP)frequency,which supports that the localized rail bending mode is one of the causes of wheel polygonization.(2)The iron plate of the fastener system plays a role of dynamic vibration absorber in the vehicle-rail coupled system,and the fastener parameters significantly influence the localized rail bending modal vibration.Finally,this paper proposes a design principle of a high-frequency vibration-absorbing fastener,which provides a feasible solution to mitigate the localized rail bending modal vibration and high-order wheel polygonization.Meanwhile,it points out that this measure may induce other high-frequency vibration problems,e.g.,aggravating modal vibration above 800 Hz.Further,this paper proposes a concept of differentiated arrangement of fasteners,suggesting that different high-frequency vibration-absorbing fasteners be installed in different sections of the whole line to make the localized rail bending modal frequency of the whole line disordered,thus disrupting and further mitigating the development of the wheel polygonization.

文摘The emergence of precision electronic devices and wearable electronic products urgently requires high-performance multifunctional electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbers to meet the applicability and versatility in various applications.Herein,a dual-network(DN)gel was successfully prepared using acrylamide and sodium lignosulphonate as the basic units by simple chemical cross-linking and physical cross-linking methods.Specifically,the hydrogel forms two types of cross-linking networks through metal coordination and hydrogen bonding.Benefiting from the combined effects of dipole polarization and conductivity loss,the gel achieves an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.74 GHz at a thickness of only 1.89 mm,demonstrating excellent EMW absorption performance.In addition,this unique structural configuration endows the EMW absorber with multifunctional features,such as remarkable tensile strength,good environmental compatibility,ultraviolet(UV)resistance,and excellent adhesion.Integrating multiple functional features into the EMW gels displays a broad application prospect in a variety of application scenarios.This research reveals the significance of DN structure design in the electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)performance of gel-based materials,providing a substantial foundation for the multifunctional design of gel-based absorbers.

文摘Ultraviolet absorbents(UVs)make up a group of industrial chemicals that is used in various consumer products and industrial applications.Due to their extensive production and usage,UVs have been detected in multiple environmental matrixes.Recently,UVs have garnered significant attention because of their probable adverse impacts on human health and the environment.This study examines UVs levels in sunscreens and isolation cosmetics and further assesses human exposure to UVs through the application of cosmetics.The total concentrations of nine UVs in 87 sunscreen and isolation cosmetic products ranged from 75.5 to 4.25×10^(4) ng/g.Among them,2-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl)benzotriazole(UV-P)and 2-hydroxy-4-(octoxy)benzophenone(UV-531)had the highest concentrations.Use of the EpiSkin model indicated rapid absorption and strong dermal penetration by UV-328 following 36 h of exposure with a cumulative absorption rate of 41.8%±2.82%.Other congeners are expected to be distributed in the dermal tissue and donor fluid.Furthermore,this study explored potential mechanisms implicating skin biochemical barriers in the metabolism and transport of UVs.The potential of UVs to act as substrates and inhibitors of P450 enzymes was assessed,and their metabolites were predicted.Molecular docking simulations demonstrated that UVs can significantly interact and bind with three transport proteins in skin:MDR1,OATP2B1,and OATP3A1.Daily UVs exposure through the skin was assessed,revealing that dermal absorption levels of UV-P in sunscreen sprays(4.66×10^(3) ng/(kg bw day))and sunscreens(6.01×10^(3) ng/(kg bw day))were close to or exceeded the reference dose(RfD)and therefore require more attention.

文摘The controllable synthesis of materials with the desired crystal structure and dimensionality is of great significance in material science.In this work we report the successful synthesis of amorphous and crystalline zinc silicates with different dimensionalities and well-defined shapes,including hollow spheres,nanowires and membranes.The structure-related absorption properties have been studied.A detailed study of their ability to remove Pb(Ⅱ),Cd(Ⅱ),Cr(Ⅲ),and Fe(Ⅲ)ions has been performed.The amorphous zero-dimensional(0-D)hollow spheres show the best removal ability for all the metal ions investigated.In particular,their absorption capacity for Pb(Ⅱ)ions is 129 mg/g,which is double the value reported for magnesium silicate hollow spheres.However,the removal abilities of crystalline one-dimensional(1-D)nanowires and two-dimensional(2-D)membranes are found to be dependent on the charge of the target metal ion.In general,nanowires show better removal capacity for trivalent ions,especially Fe(Ⅲ),while 2-D membranes exhibit better removal capacity for divalent ions.
