Then, the ECOMSED model was applied to predict the change scope of pH and the ecological influences on phytoplankton due to the acidic effluent from a programming power plant in Zhanjiang Bay. The experimental results in laboratory showed that the species of phytoplankton changed with pH in a rule of convex parabola, and the quantity of phytoplankton decreased linearly with the fall of pH. The results of pH numerical simulation indicated that the acidic effluent from the power plant flowed zonally with tide. When the pH value of surface seawater decreased from the back- ground value of 8.0 to 7.8, the extreme area influenced harmfully by the acidic effluent was near 30.70 km2, accounting for about 16.2% of the to- tal area of Zhanjiang Bay （190 km2）. The predict results of ecological impact showed that if the species and quantity of phytoplankton decreased by 5% in surface seawater, the corresponding extreme areas influenced harmfully by the acidic effluent were 0.40 and 10.81 km2, accounting respec- tively for 0.21% and 0.53% of the total area of Zhanjiang Bay. Moreover, around the outlet of the power plant where the pH value of seawater was near to 6.8, the species and quantity of phytoplankton decreased most. However, the corresponding influenced area was rather small, just about 0.15 km2, accounting for 0.08% of the total area of Zhanjiang Bay.展开更多

文摘This study explores a hydrogen-assisted mineral phase transformation process with synergistic desulfurization for the efficient recovery of iron from the high-pressure acid leach(HPAL)tailings of laterite nickel ore.HPAL tailings containing 51.50wt%iron and 2.09wt%sulfur present environmental challenges due to their sulfur content.Pre-treatment at 950℃ for 15 min successfully reduced the sulfur content to 0.295wt%and increased the iron grade to 57.66wt%.Further hydrogen-assisted mineral phase transformation at 520℃ for 30 min,using 40vol%hydrogen and a gas flow rate of 600 mL·min^(-1),resulted in a product with an iron grade of 61.00wt%and 90.11%iron recovery.The overall desulfurization rate reached 85.83%when wet scrubbing and limestone were used to capture the sulfur.This study demonstrates the efficiency of this hydrogen-assisted process for sustainable iron recovery and sulfur removal from laterite nickel ore tailings,with potential for industrial applications.

文摘In petroleum,mercaptan impurities generate malodorous fumes that pose risks to both human health and the environment,and leading to substandard oil quality.Lye desulfurization is a widely employed technique for eliminating mercaptans from oil.In traditional scrubber towers,lye and oil are poorly mixed,the desulfurization efficiency is low,and the lye consumption is high.To enhance washing efficiency,a droplet micromixer and corresponding fiber coalescence separator were developed.By optimizing the structure and operating parameters,more effective mixing and separation were achieved,and both caustic washing and desulfurization were enhanced.The proposed mixer/separator outperforms the industry standard by reducing the caustic loading by 30%and offers superior economic and engineering performances.The results of this study offer a direction for designing and optimizing a mercaptan removal unit to enhance the scrubbing effectiveness and decrease expenses to achieve more efficient and green production process.

文摘The oxidation characteristics of sulfite and thiosulfate were examined by using thermodynamic calculations and simulated desulfurization solution experiments to investigate their difference.Subsequently,a new multistage oxidation method using oxygen−ammonium persulfate was presented and applied to the oxidation of a real desulfurization solution.The results show that the concentrations of thiosulfate and sulfite in the real desulfurization solution decrease from 48.76 and 61.76 g/L to 2.24 and 0.02 g/L,respectively,and the ammonium sulfate products obtained are white with uniform particles.In addition,compared with ammonium persulfate alone,the multistage oxidation method can reduce the ammonium persulfate addition by 37.56%and treatment cost by 28.13%.

文摘With the acceleration of industrialization,the pollution problem of sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))emitted from coal-fired power plants has become increasingly severe.Although wet flue gas desulfurization(FGD)technology can remove about 95%of SO_(2),its high energy consumption and the corrosion risk of downstream equipment caused by residual SO_(2)(500–3000 ppm)still need to be addressed[1].Previous porous materials(such as MOFs)achieve selective adsorption of SO_(2) through open metal sites,M–OH sites or functional organic groups,but the problem of CO_(2) co-adsorption limits their practical application[2].In recent years,hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(HOFs)have emerged as a research hotspot due to their reversible hydrogen-bonding networks and flexible structures[3],but their stability under extreme conditions and efficient separation performance still need to be improved[4].

文摘Sulfuric acid slag,a common byproduct with high iron content,poses challenges due to its high levels of harmful impurities and is often discarded as solid waste,leading to significant environmental and water pollution.To address this issue and improve resource utilization,the preparation process of oxidized pellets from sulfuric acid slag was studied,exploring suitable pelletizing systems and thermal parameters.Additionally,the removal of harmful elements and the consolidation mechanism were established during the oxidation roasting process.The findings revealed that sulfuric acid slag along with specific processing conditions,such as using two high-pressure grinding rolls and adding 1.25 wt.%bentonite,resulted in the production of qualified green pellets with desirable physical properties.Through a thermal treatment process involving preheating and roasting,the desulfurization rate of the pellets reached 95.55%and the removal efficiency of arsenic achieved 27.11%.Hematite recrystallizes,shrinks,and forms a reticulated structure with Fe2O3 recrystallization as the backbone,resulting in higher consolidation strength.

文摘The development of an efficient dual-function catalytic-sorption system,which seamlessly integrates reaction and separation into a single step for extractant-free systems,represents a transformative advancement in oxidative desulfurization(ODS)process.In this work,we introduce a novel dualfunction amphiphilic biochar(Mo/CBC)catalyst,functionalized with MoO_(3-x)featuring abundant oxygen vacancies,for highly effective extractant-free ODS.The polarity of the biochar was precisely tailored by varying the amount of KOH,leading to the creation of amphiphilic carriers.Subsequent ball milling facilitated the successful loading of MoO_(3-x)onto the biochar surface via an impregnation-calcination route leveraging carbon reduction,resulting in the synthesis of amphiphilic Mo/CBC catalysts.The amphiphilic nature of these catalysts ensures their stable dispersion within the oil phase,while also facilitating their interaction with the oxidant H2O2 and the adsorption of sulfur-containing oxidation products.Characterization techniques,including EPR,XPS,and in situ XRD,verified the existence of abundant oxygen vacancies obtained by carbon reduction on the amphiphilic Mo/CBC catalysts,which significantly boosted their activity in an extractant-free ODs system.Remarkably,the amphiphilic Mo/CBC catalyst displayed exceptional catalytic performance,achieving a desulfurization efficiency of 99.6%in just 10 min without extraction solvent.DFT theoretical calculations further revealed that H_(2)O_(2)readily dissociates into two OH radicals on the O_(vac)-MoO_(3),overcoming a low energy barrier.This process was identified as a key contributor to the catalyst's outstanding ODS performance.Furthermore,other biochar sources,such as rice straw,bamboo,rapeseed oil cake,and walnut oil cake,were investigated to produce Mo-based amphiphilic biochar catalysts,which all showed excellent desulfurization performance.This work establishes a versatile and highly efficient dual-function catalytic-sorption system by designing amphiphilic biochar catalysts enriched with oxygen vacancies,paving the way for the development of universally applicable ODS catalysts for industrial applications.

文摘Designing efficient adsorbents for the deep removal of refractory dibenzothiophene(DBT)from fuel oil is vital for addressing environmental issues such as acid rain.Herein,zinc gluconate and urea-derived porous carbons SF-ZnNC-T(T represents the carbonization temperature)were synthesized without solvents.Through a temperature-controlled process of“melting the zinc gluconate and urea mixture,forming H-bonded polymers,and carbonizing the polymers,”the optimal carbon,SF-ZnNC-900,was obtained with a large surface area(2280 m^(2)g^(-1),highly dispersed Zn sites,and hierarchical pore structures.Consequently,SF-ZnNC-900 demonstrated significantly higher DBT adsorption capacity of43.2 mg S g^(-1),compared to just 4.3 mg S g^(-1)for the precursor.It also demonstrated good reusability,fast adsorption rate,and the ability for ultra-deep desulfurization.The superior DBT adsorption performance resulted from the evaporation of residual zinc species,which generated abundant mesopores that facilitated DBT transformation,as well as the formation of Zn-N_(x) sites that strengthened the host-vip interaction(ΔE=-1.466 e V).The solvent-free synthesized highly dispersed Zn-doped carbon shows great potential for producing sulfur-free fuel oil and for designing metal-loaded carbon adsorbents.

文摘By investigating 17 peptide arylthioesters that were previously challenging to produce,this study reveals a clear correlation between increased ligation activity and decreased pKa values of their corresponding arylthiols.The observed differences are attributed to variations in thioester bond strength and steric hindrance.These insights have led to the development of an improved one-pot chemical protein synthesis approach that leverages the reactivity differences between peptide arylthioesters with C-terminal Ala-SPh(4-NO_(2))and Ala-S-Ph(2,6-diCH_(3)).This approach eliminates the need for thiol-thioester exchange and additive removal steps while enabling in situ desulfurization,thereby significantly simplifying the protein synthesis process.

文摘The development of highly active functionalized ionic liquids(ILs)as both extractants and catalysts for use in achieving deep desulfurization continues to pose challenges.In this study,a highly efficient oxidative desulfurization system was constructed,composed of dual-acidic ionic liquids(DILs)and H_(2)O_(2)-AcOH.The investigation results of four DILs prepared from different metal chlorides([HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-MnCl_(n),MnCl_(n)=AlCl_(3),ZnCl_(2),CuCl_(2),FeCl_(3))in oxidative desulfurization showed that[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3)had an outstanding catalytic effect and significantly promoted the oxidation of sulfides.With a 0.2 g[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3),the removal rate of dibenzothiophene(DBT)reached 100%in 10 mL model oil under mild conditions at 55℃for 20 min.The key is its ability to induce the dismutation of su-peroxide anions(·O_(2)^(-)),which facilitates the generation of singlet oxygen(1 O_(2)).The efficient oxidation of DBT is accomplished through a predominantly^(1)O_(2)-mediated_(n)on-radical mechanism.[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3)serves as a favorable medium for contact to be made between^(1)O_(2)and sulfides,which indicates an efficient catalytic-adsorption synergy.

文摘Desulfurization technology is rather difficult and urgently needed for carbon dioxide(CO_(2))utilization in industry.A new Cu(I)-based adsorbent was synthesized and examined for the capacity of removing carbonyl sulfide(COS)from a CO_(2)stream in an effort to solve the competitive adsorption between CO_(2)and COS and to seek opportunity to advance adsorption capacity.A wide range of character-ization techniques were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent featuringπ-complexation and their correlations with the adsorption performance.Meanwhile,the first principal calculation software CP2K was used to develop an understanding of the adsorption mechanism,which can offer useful guidance for the adsorbent regeneration.The synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent,prepared by using copper citrate and citric acid on the ZSM-5(SiO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3)=25)carrier,outperformed other adsorbents with varying formulations and carriers in adsorption capacities.Through optimization of the preparation and adsorption conditions for various adsorbents,the breakthrough adsorption capacity(Qb)for COS was further enhanced from 2.19 mg/g to 15.36 mg/g.The formed stableπ-complex bonds between COS and Cu(I),as confirmed by density func-tional theory calculations,were verified by the significant improvement in the adsorption capacity after regeneration at 600°C.The above advantages render the novel synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent a promising candidate featuring cost-effectiveness,high efficacy and good regenerability for desulfurization from a CO_(2)stream.

文摘Practical applications of desulfurization gypsum are limited owing to its brittleness and low strength.To overcome these challenges,researchers have developed engineered desulfurization gypsum composites(EDGCs)by incorporating ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)fiber and sulfoaluminate cement(SAC).The mix ratio was optimized using response surface methodology(RSM).Experimental testing of EDGC under compressive and tensile loads led to the creation of a regression model that investigates the influence of variables and their interactions on the material’s compressive and tensile strengths.Additionally,microscopic morphology and hydration product composition were analyzed to explore the influence mechanism.The results indicated that EDGC’s compressive strength increased by up to 38.4%owing to a decreased water-binder ratio and higher SAC content.Similarly,tensile strength increased by up to 38.6%owing to increased SAC and fiber content.Moreover,EDGC demonstrated excellent strain-hardening behavior and multiple cracking characteristics,achieving a maximum tensile strain of nearly 3%.The research findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the performance of desulfurization gypsum.

文摘Development of clean desulfurization process that combines both efficient and environmentally friendly remains a significant challenge for diesel production.The photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization technology is regarded as a promising process depending on the superior electron transfer and visible light utilization of photocatalyst.Herein,the nonstoichiometry MoO_(3-x)with outstanding photoresponse ability is prepared and modified by imidazole-based ionic liquid[C_(12)mim]Cl to upgrade electronic structure.The interface H-bonding between MoO_(3-x)and[C_(12)mim]Cl regard as electronic transfer channel and the recombination of e^(-)-h^(+)pairs is effectively inhibited with the modification of[C_(12)mim]Cl.Deep desulfurization rate of 96.6%can be reached within 60 min and the MoO_(3-x)/[C_(12)mim]Cl(MoC_(12))photocatalyst demonstrated outstanding cyclic stability within 7 cycles in an extraction coupled photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization(ECPODS)system.The study provides a new perspective on enhancing photocatalytic desulfurization through defect engineering and surface modification.
