To achi...The massive stacking of the coal gangue (CG) in the coal mining process, discarded industrial zeolite waste (IZW) and agricultural corn straw (CS) has caused serious environmental pollution and resource waste. To achieve the recycling of solid waste, an economical method for synthesizing ultramarine blue pigment using a two-step calcination process of the CG/IZW/Na_(2)CO_(3)/S/CS with the mass rates of 1.50: 0.50: 2.50: 3.50: 1.00 (the first stage at 400℃ for 0.50 h and the second stage at 900℃ for 2.00 h) is proposed in this paper. The structure and composition of the synthesis ultramarine blue pigment were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman, as well as SEM technologies, and results showed it had a sodalite structure containing S_(3)^(−) and S_(2)^(−) radicals. Furthermore, SiO2 (1.20 mL of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the precursor and 4.50 mL of NH_(3)·H_(2)O as the catalyst) coated the synthesis ultramarine blue pigment (1.00 g) was successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique to improve the acid resistance of the pigment (pH=2.50-3.00). This new method of preparing ultramarine blue pigments not only achieves resource reuse at a low cost but also improves the acid rain resistance of the pigments.展开更多

In this work, Al(OH)3 was extracted from SAD through acid-leaching and alkali purification process. The as-obtained Al(OH)3 precipitation then was calcinated to synthesize porous γ-Al2O3 assisting by an agricultural waste biomass-corn straw as biotemplate. Effects of H2SO4 concentration, reaction temperature and time on the recovery of SAD were investigated. Furthermore, the dependence of calcination temperature on specific surface area, pore volume and content of porous γ-Al2O3 was analyzed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) were used to inspect the phase compositions and their contents, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to analyze the morphologies of the sintered porous γ-Al2O3. It was found that the highest recycle rate of aluminum from SAD was obtained under optimum conditions of 80°C, acid concentration of 1.6 mol/l, and reaction time of 5 h by acid process. The porous γ-Al2O3 with specific surface area, 261.22 m2/g and average pore diameter, 52.64 nm, was obtained under calcination at 850°C through mixing the as-obtained Al(OH)3 precipitation and corn straw.展开更多

In this study, the comprehensive energy and exergy performances (the absorbed energy, energy efficiency, absorbed exergy, and exergy efficiency) of the mass ratio (SiC to corn straw), microwave power, and reaction chamber volume were compared and analyzed. The effect of the mass ratio of SiC to corn straw on energy and exergy performances based on the experimental data was newly studied. Also, the parametric analysis of the microwave power and reaction chamber for the microwave heating process of corn straw assisted by SiC was conducted. The findings indicate that increasing the mass ratio of SiC to corn straw from 0 to 1 significantly improves performance metrics: final absorbed energy increased from 5466 J to 6195 J, energy efficiency from 9.1% to 20.7%, absorbed exergy from 1102 J to 1312 J, and exergy efficiency from 1.8% to 4.4%. Similarly, increasing microwave power from 400 W to 600 W enhanced final absorbed energy from 5752 J to 6195 J, energy efficiency from 11.1% to 20.7%, absorbed exergy from 1177 J to 1312 J, and exergy efficiency from 2.3% to 4.4%. Conversely, enlarging the reaction chamber from 100 mL to 300 mL resulted in decreases: final absorbed energy dropped from 5758 J to 5700 J, energy efficiency from 11.6% to 9.0%, absorbed exergy from 1122 J to 1118 J, and exergy efficiency from 2.3% to 1.8%. These results underscore the substantial influence of the mass ratio on energy and exergy performances, while indicating that the reaction chamber volume has a minimal impact on the performances.展开更多

文摘The massive stacking of the coal gangue (CG) in the coal mining process, discarded industrial zeolite waste (IZW) and agricultural corn straw (CS) has caused serious environmental pollution and resource waste. To achieve the recycling of solid waste, an economical method for synthesizing ultramarine blue pigment using a two-step calcination process of the CG/IZW/Na_(2)CO_(3)/S/CS with the mass rates of 1.50: 0.50: 2.50: 3.50: 1.00 (the first stage at 400℃ for 0.50 h and the second stage at 900℃ for 2.00 h) is proposed in this paper. The structure and composition of the synthesis ultramarine blue pigment were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman, as well as SEM technologies, and results showed it had a sodalite structure containing S_(3)^(−) and S_(2)^(−) radicals. Furthermore, SiO2 (1.20 mL of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the precursor and 4.50 mL of NH_(3)·H_(2)O as the catalyst) coated the synthesis ultramarine blue pigment (1.00 g) was successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique to improve the acid resistance of the pigment (pH=2.50-3.00). This new method of preparing ultramarine blue pigments not only achieves resource reuse at a low cost but also improves the acid rain resistance of the pigments.
文摘In the aluminum industry, secondary aluminum dross (SAD) is an inevitable solid residue, which usually contains 30 - 70 wt% Al2O3. In this work, Al(OH)3 was extracted from SAD through acid-leaching and alkali purification process. The as-obtained Al(OH)3 precipitation then was calcinated to synthesize porous γ-Al2O3 assisting by an agricultural waste biomass-corn straw as biotemplate. Effects of H2SO4 concentration, reaction temperature and time on the recovery of SAD were investigated. Furthermore, the dependence of calcination temperature on specific surface area, pore volume and content of porous γ-Al2O3 was analyzed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) were used to inspect the phase compositions and their contents, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to analyze the morphologies of the sintered porous γ-Al2O3. It was found that the highest recycle rate of aluminum from SAD was obtained under optimum conditions of 80°C, acid concentration of 1.6 mol/l, and reaction time of 5 h by acid process. The porous γ-Al2O3 with specific surface area, 261.22 m2/g and average pore diameter, 52.64 nm, was obtained under calcination at 850°C through mixing the as-obtained Al(OH)3 precipitation and corn straw.

文摘It is an important way for realizing sustainable development of sweet corn production to stabilize and improve soil fertility of cultivated land in sweet corn production region.Through the test of sweet corn straw directly returning to the field after 6seasons for 3years,the results showed that continuous single application of chemical fertilizer is not conducive to the stability of soil fertility and yield improvement,and implementation of straw returning could receive fertility,improve soil acidic conditions,and enhance the yield of sweet corn.Compared with before the test,the single application of chemical fertilizer increased soil available phosphorus,while the contents of soil organic matter,available nitrogen and available potassium decreased by 1.08,1.18 and 2.47mg/kg respectively,and the soil pH decreased by 0.15.Under the same fertilizer conditions,organic matter contents of single and double-season straw returning increased by 0.71 and 1.29g/kg,available nitrogen increased by 17.15 and 28.27mg/kg,available phosphorus increased by 0.96 and 1.73mg/kg,available potassium increased by 2.41 and 5.92mg/kg,the soil pH increased by 0.16 and 0.2.Compared with the single application of chemical fertilizer,the average yields of single and double-season straw returning increased by 7.5%and 11.8%,and their average income increased by 87.3and 117.1yuan of per mu(667m^2)respectively.

文摘The energy and exergy performances of the corn straw and Silicon Carbide (SiC) in the microwave heating process are crucial to sufficiently utilize crop residues for mitigating environmental pollution, promoting waste value, and improving farmer incomes. In this study, the comprehensive energy and exergy performances (the absorbed energy, energy efficiency, absorbed exergy, and exergy efficiency) of the mass ratio (SiC to corn straw), microwave power, and reaction chamber volume were compared and analyzed. The effect of the mass ratio of SiC to corn straw on energy and exergy performances based on the experimental data was newly studied. Also, the parametric analysis of the microwave power and reaction chamber for the microwave heating process of corn straw assisted by SiC was conducted. The findings indicate that increasing the mass ratio of SiC to corn straw from 0 to 1 significantly improves performance metrics: final absorbed energy increased from 5466 J to 6195 J, energy efficiency from 9.1% to 20.7%, absorbed exergy from 1102 J to 1312 J, and exergy efficiency from 1.8% to 4.4%. Similarly, increasing microwave power from 400 W to 600 W enhanced final absorbed energy from 5752 J to 6195 J, energy efficiency from 11.1% to 20.7%, absorbed exergy from 1177 J to 1312 J, and exergy efficiency from 2.3% to 4.4%. Conversely, enlarging the reaction chamber from 100 mL to 300 mL resulted in decreases: final absorbed energy dropped from 5758 J to 5700 J, energy efficiency from 11.6% to 9.0%, absorbed exergy from 1122 J to 1118 J, and exergy efficiency from 2.3% to 1.8%. These results underscore the substantial influence of the mass ratio on energy and exergy performances, while indicating that the reaction chamber volume has a minimal impact on the performances.

文摘Dry corn straw(DCS)is usually used in anaerobic digestion(AD),but fresh corn straw(FCS)has been given less consideration.In this study,the thermophilic AD of single-substrate(FCS and DCS)and co-digestion(straw with cattle manure)were investigated.The results show that when FCS was used as the single-substrate for AD,the methane production was 144 mL·g^(−1)·VS^(−1),which was 7.5%and 19.6%higher than that of single DCS and FCS with cattle manure,respectively.In addition,the structure of FCS was loose and coarse,which was easier to be degraded than DCS.At the hydrolysis and acidification stages,Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1,Clostridium_sensu_stricto_7 and Sporosarcina promoted the decomposition of organic matter,leading to volatile fatty acids(VFAs)accumulation.Methanosarcina(54.4%)activated multifunctional methanogenic pathways to avoid the VFAs inhibition,which was important at the CH_(4) production stage.The main pathway was hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis,with genes encoding formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase(K00200-K00203)and tetrahydromethanopterin Smethyltransferase(K00577-K00584).Methanosarcina also activated acetotrophic and methylotrophic methanogenesis pathways,with genes encoding acetyl phosphate(K13788)and methyl-coenzyme M reductase(K04480,K14080 and K14081),respectively.In the co-digestion,the methanogenic potential of FCS was also confirmed.This provides a scientific basis for regulating AD of crop straw.
