Laboratoryscale and pilot-scale ACEs have been applied in demonstration tests of the trialkyl phosphine oxide(TRPO) process for HLLW partitioning. In this study, an industrialscale ACE(260 mm in rotor diameter) with magnetic coupling and a ‘‘hanging'' rotor structure was developed for the TRPO process. Moreover, a series of hydraulic and mass-transfer tests were carried out in the industrial-scale ACE. The maximum throughput can reach 10 m^3/h under suitable operation parameters when kerosene is used as the organic phase, and water is used as the aqueous phase. The influence of the total flowrate, the flow ratio(aqueous/organic, A/O), and the rotor speed on the liquid hold-up volume was determined. The extraction stage efficiency is higher than 98% under test parameters for extraction of Nd^(3+) and HNO_3, using 30% TRPO kerosene as theextractant from an HNO_3 solution containing Nd. All results show good performance of the industrial-scale ACE for the TRPO process.展开更多

Under the premise of high phenol extraction rate, composite YH-3 extraction agent reduces n-n interaction between phenolic compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons, thus decreasing the entrainment of neutral oil. The optimization of operation conditions, such as the diameter of heavy phase weir HWD, the flow ratio, the total flow rate and the rotation speed, are necessary. For single stage extraction experiment, the mass transfer efficiency was up to 84% while the rate of extraction agent loss was lower than 0.28% with the operation conditions of 29 mm of the heavy phase weir diameter （HWD）, 1：1-1.4：1 of the flow ratio range, 160-200 mL/min of the total flow rate and the rotation speed varied from 2200 to 2600 r/min. For three stage counter-current test, the mass transfer efficiency reached up to 92.6% with the optimum operation condition of 29 mm of the HWD, 1：1 of the flow ratio, 200 rnL/min of the total flow rate and 2400 r/rain of the rotation speed. The results indicated that phenol could be extracted effectively from coal tar in the process of multistage continuous count current centrifugal extraction.展开更多

In order to solve the problems, many types of equipments were brought out. In this work, studies were carried out on the La（III） extraction process with 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid-2-ethylhexyl ester （EHEHPA） by membrane dispersion micro-extractor. Equilibrium studies showed that the initial aqueous pH value 4.15 with the saponification rate 40%was the optimal operation condition. The effects of membrane dispersion micro-extractor operational conditions such as dispersion mode, bulk flow rate and organic phase flow rate on the extraction efficiency were studied. The results showed that when the organic solution was the dispersed phase, the extraction efficiency was higher than that of others. Increasing bulk flow ratio could enhance the extraction efficiency greatly. When the ratio of organic phase flow rate to that of aque-ous phase was 80：80, the extraction efficiency was over 95%. The effect of stripping phase acidity on the La（III） recovery was studied. The results showed that when the stripping phase pH was 2.0, organic phase flow rate to stripping phase flow rate was 20：80;the re-covery efficiency of La（III） can reach 82%.展开更多

The traditional extraction set-up, such as mixer-settler, have drawbacks of easy emulsification, difficult separation and low efficiency if operated at the above condition. Membrane dispersion micro-extractor,owing to its well-dispersed, high surface-to-volume ratio and fast mass transfer rate, was employed in our work. Nd（Ⅲ）,Eu（Ⅲ）,Er（Ⅲ） were chosen to represent light, medium,heavy rare earth elements（REEs）. The extraction process of REEs with 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid-2-ethylhexyl ester（P507） was investigated by membrane dispersion micro-extractors. Firstly, the extraction equilibrium of these three elements was explored in the stirred conical flasks, and it is indicated that the extraction efficiencies can be 0.95, 0.97 and 0.98, respectively within 40 min at phase ratio of 100：1. Then the effects of operational conditions such as the residence time, organic and aqueous flow rates on extraction efficiency were also explored in micro-extractors. The results indicate that the efficiency decreases and then increases if increasing aqueous phase flow rate, residence time and droplets＇ diameter are the key factors of this process. Increasing the phase ratio reduces the extraction efficiency significantly. When the REEs solution has an initial pH of 4.00, the flow rates of continuous and dispersed phase are 40 and 1.6 mL/min,respectively, and 90 mg/L Nd（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ） is extracted by 1 mol/L P507 at the out-let length of8 m. The extraction efficiencies are 0.978,0.983 and 0.991, respectively. Finally the stripping process was also studied with the micro-extractor. The stripping efficiencies of Nd（Ⅲ）, Eu（Ⅲ） and Er（Ⅲ） can reach0.99, 0.96 and 0.91, respectively when the out-let length is 8 m and the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 1 mol/L. The developed approach offers a novel and simple strategy on the fast extraction and enrichment of low concentration rare earth elements from waste water.展开更多

Among the ventilation strategies, sheds can be highlighted. These structures consist of roof openings that work as air captors or extractors depending on their location in relation to the prevailing wind directions. The hospitals of the Sarah Network, designed by the Brazilian architect Joao Filgueiras Lima, Lele, are worldwide known for using these elements to improve natural ventilation. This paper analyses the natural ventilation performance of sheds for air collecting and extracting in two Sarah hospitals located in the cities of Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. In each building, the sheds were analyzed for air extracting and collecting. The analyses were carried out by reduced physical models in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel. The wind velocity was measured at external and internal points of the buildings, using hot-wire anemometers. The results show that the wards in Rio de Janeiro hospital are 17% more ventilated than the ones in the Salvador hospital. However, this difference occurs not only because of the collecting sheds but also because of set of openings and the configuration of the covering in hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.展开更多

In this work, continuous liquid-liquid extraction for sinomenine purification was realized with the usage of centrifugal extractors. Chloroform was used as the extractant because of the high distribution coefficient (>100). Higher extraction ratio can be obtained when using the centrifugal extractor of Model CWL50-N. The extraction ratio of the second-stage extraction was higher than that of the first-stage extraction. The extraction ratio of the second-stage countercurrent extraction was higher than that of second-stage cross-flow extraction. When chloroform phase was recycled for liquid-liquid extraction, the extraction ratio was also higher than 95%. This work can also be an example of continuous liquid-liquid extraction for the separation of other Chinese medicine components.展开更多

The experimental results of the single stage centrifugal extractor show that the carryover of the two phases decreases with increasing ratio of the two flow rate and rotation rate and the stage efficiency increases with not only decreasing total flow rate but also increasing rotor speed. However, the experimental results of the cascade show that the average stage efficiency of the cascade increases with not only decreasing total flow rate but also increasing rotor speed in both three stage mode and two stage mode.展开更多

文摘Solvent extraction phenol from coal tar were carried out with novel composite YH-3 as extraction agent, and the high flux centrifugal extractor was used as extraction device. Under the premise of high phenol extraction rate, composite YH-3 extraction agent reduces n-n interaction between phenolic compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons, thus decreasing the entrainment of neutral oil. The optimization of operation conditions, such as the diameter of heavy phase weir HWD, the flow ratio, the total flow rate and the rotation speed, are necessary. For single stage extraction experiment, the mass transfer efficiency was up to 84% while the rate of extraction agent loss was lower than 0.28% with the operation conditions of 29 mm of the heavy phase weir diameter （HWD）, 1：1-1.4：1 of the flow ratio range, 160-200 mL/min of the total flow rate and the rotation speed varied from 2200 to 2600 r/min. For three stage counter-current test, the mass transfer efficiency reached up to 92.6% with the optimum operation condition of 29 mm of the HWD, 1：1 of the flow ratio, 200 rnL/min of the total flow rate and 2400 r/rain of the rotation speed. The results indicated that phenol could be extracted effectively from coal tar in the process of multistage continuous count current centrifugal extraction.

文摘Afuzzy extractor can extract an almost uniformrandom string from a noisy source with enough entropy such as biometric data.To reproduce an identical key from repeated readings of biometric data,the fuzzy extractor generates a helper data and a random string from biometric data and uses the helper data to reproduce the random string from the second reading.In 2013,Fuller et al.proposed a computational fuzzy extractor based on the learning with errors problem.Their construction,however,can tolerate a sub-linear fraction of errors and has an inefficient decoding algorithm,which causes the reproducing time to increase significantly.In 2016,Canetti et al.proposed a fuzzy extractor with inputs from low-entropy distributions based on a strong primitive,which is called digital locker.However,their construction necessitates an excessive amount of storage space for the helper data,which is stored in authentication server.Based on these observations,we propose a new efficient computational fuzzy extractorwith small size of helper data.Our scheme supports reusability and robustness,which are security notions that must be satisfied in order to use a fuzzy extractor as a secure authentication method in real life.Also,it conceals no information about the biometric data and thanks to the new decoding algorithm can tolerate linear errors.Based on the non-uniform learning with errors problem,we present a formal security proof for the proposed fuzzy extractor.Furthermore,we analyze the performance of our fuzzy extractor scheme and provide parameter sets that meet the security requirements.As a result of our implementation and analysis,we show that our scheme outperforms previous fuzzy extractor schemes in terms of the efficiency of the generation and reproduction algorithms,as well as the size of helper data.
文摘There are settings where encryption must be performed by a sender under a time constraint. This paper de-scribes an encryption/decryption algorithm based on modular arithmetic of complex integers called Gaus-sians. It is shown how cubic extractors operate and how to find all cubic roots of the Gaussian. All validations (proofs) are provided in the Appendix. Detailed numeric illustrations explain how to use the method of digital isotopes to avoid ambiguity in recovery of the original plaintext by the receiver.

文摘The mature design of wireless mobile sensor network makes it to be used in vast verities of applications including from home used to the security surveillance.All such types of applications based on wireless mobile sensor network are generally using real time data,most of them are interested in real time communication directly from cluster head of cluster instead of a base station in cluster network.This would be possible if an external user allows to directly access real time data from the cluster head in cluster wireless mobile sensor network instead of accessing data from base station.But this leads to a serious security breach and degrades the performance of any security protocol available in this domain.Most existing schemes for authentication and cluster key management for external users,exchange a number of messages between cluster head and base station to allow external to access real time data from the base station instead of cluster head.This increase communication cost and delay in such real time access information.To handle this critical issue in cluster wireless mobile sensor network,we propose a lightweight authentication and key management scheme using a fuzzy extractor.In this scheme,any external user can access data directly from the cluster head of any cluster without the involvement of the base station.The proposed scheme only uses the one-way hash functions and bitwise XOR operations,apart from the fuzzy extractor method for the user biometric verification at the login phase.The presented scheme supports scalability for an increasing number of nodes using polynomials.The proposed scheme increases the life-time of the network by decreasing the key pool size.
文摘Natural ventilation is an efficient design strategy for the passive cooling of buildings, especially in tropical countries such as Brazil. Among the ventilation strategies, sheds can be highlighted. These structures consist of roof openings that work as air captors or extractors depending on their location in relation to the prevailing wind directions. The hospitals of the Sarah Network, designed by the Brazilian architect Joao Filgueiras Lima, Lele, are worldwide known for using these elements to improve natural ventilation. This paper analyses the natural ventilation performance of sheds for air collecting and extracting in two Sarah hospitals located in the cities of Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. In each building, the sheds were analyzed for air extracting and collecting. The analyses were carried out by reduced physical models in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel. The wind velocity was measured at external and internal points of the buildings, using hot-wire anemometers. The results show that the wards in Rio de Janeiro hospital are 17% more ventilated than the ones in the Salvador hospital. However, this difference occurs not only because of the collecting sheds but also because of set of openings and the configuration of the covering in hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.
文摘Continuous manufacturing is considered as one of the future trends of pharmaceutical engineering. In this work, continuous liquid-liquid extraction for sinomenine purification was realized with the usage of centrifugal extractors. Chloroform was used as the extractant because of the high distribution coefficient (>100). Higher extraction ratio can be obtained when using the centrifugal extractor of Model CWL50-N. The extraction ratio of the second-stage extraction was higher than that of the first-stage extraction. The extraction ratio of the second-stage countercurrent extraction was higher than that of second-stage cross-flow extraction. When chloroform phase was recycled for liquid-liquid extraction, the extraction ratio was also higher than 95%. This work can also be an example of continuous liquid-liquid extraction for the separation of other Chinese medicine components.
文摘The stage efficiency of a single stage prototype ( d 70) centrifugal extractor and the cascade is tested by HNO 3 Nd 3+ and 30%TRPO kerosene system. The experimental results of the single stage centrifugal extractor show that the carryover of the two phases decreases with increasing ratio of the two flow rate and rotation rate and the stage efficiency increases with not only decreasing total flow rate but also increasing rotor speed. However, the experimental results of the cascade show that the average stage efficiency of the cascade increases with not only decreasing total flow rate but also increasing rotor speed in both three stage mode and two stage mode.

文摘To address the challenges of high impurity rate and cane loss rate in mechanized sugarcane harvesting,the internal flow field of the extractor was analyzed through computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation,and the structure of the extractor was optimized to improve the harvesting quality.The simulation model was validated by comparing simulated and experimental wind speeds at the extractor outlet,yielding a maximum error of 5.29%and an average error of 4.71%,confirming the model’s accuracy.The analysis revealed that abrupt changes in structural geometry lead to significant airflow vortices within the discharge hood,a backflow phenomenon at the outlet,and additional vortices in the cleaning chamber,all of which ultimately result in high impurity rate and cane loss rate.To address these issues,the extractor’s structure was optimized,the outer contour of the discharge hood was designed as a smooth arc curve,and the lower air inlet of the cleaning chamber was changed from rectangular to circular,which eliminated the vortices and improved airflow uniformity.The impurity rate test showed that when the harvester driving speed was 1 km/h,the impurity rate level before and after optimization was comparable across different rotational speeds.At 2 km/h,the low-speed performance(1250 r/min)was significantly improved,reducing the impurity rate by 21.52%.At 3 km/h,the impurity rate decreased by 19.84%and 28.30%at low and medium speeds(1450 r/min),respectively.The cane loss rate test demonstrated that when the extractor speed was 1250 r/min,the difference before and after optimization was minimal.At 1450 r/min,the cane loss rate decreased significantly,with a maximum decrease of 10.75%.At 1650 r/min,the cane loss rate decreased by 8.78%at most.The optimized extractor significantly reduced the impurity rate and cane loss rate at higher harvester speeds(2-3 km/h),making it suitable for large-scale and high-speed harvesting operations and improving the harvesting efficiency.The research results will help to design and improve the performance of the extractor,thus improving the harvest quality and increasing farmers’income.
