The dependence of extraction distribution ratio on equilibrium aqueous pH and the concentration of extractant were investigated. On the basis of slope analysis, it was proposed that two different kinds of extracted species were formed. For rare earth elements (La~Ho) the extracted species was LnA 3(HA) 3 and for heavy rare earth elements (Er~Lu) the species was LnClA 2(HA) 3. The steric hindrance plays an important role in forming the species. The extraction constants and separation factors of the adjacent rare earths were calculated too. Compared with HDEHP and HEH/EHP, HHEOIPP is a valuable extractant with high separation selectivity. The “tetrad effect” between K ex and atomic number was observed.展开更多

Since its half-life in biological treatment is around 25 days, it can be used as an efficiency indicator of wastewater treatment plant for the removal of hydrophobic emerging contaminants. In this study, the performance of submerged membrane bioreactor was monitored to understand the effect of DEHP on the growth of aerobic microorganisms. The data showed that the chemical oxygen demand(COD)and ammonia concentration were detected below 10 and 1.0 mg/L, respectively for operating conditions of hydraulic retention time(HRT) = 4 and 6 hr, sludge retention time(SRT) = 140 day and sludge concentration between 11.5 and 15.8 g volatile solid(VS)/L. The removal efficiency of DEHP under these conditions was higher and ranged between 91% and 98%. Results also showed that the removal efficiency of DEHP in biological treatment depended on the concentration of sludge, as adsorption is the main mechanism of its removal. For the submerged membrane bioreactor, the pore size is the pivotal factor for DEHP removal, since it determines the amount of soluble microbial products coming out of the process. Highly assimilated microorganisms increase the biodegradation rate, as 74% of inlet DEHP was biodegraded; however, the concentration of DEHP inside sludge was beyond the discharge limit. Understanding the fate of DEHP in membrane bioreactor,which is one of the most promising and futuristic treatment process could provide replacement for conventional processes to satisfy the future stricter regulations on emerging contaminants.展开更多

In this work, a dynamic rate-based method is developed on g PROMS platform to get easy access to the solutions of reactive extraction with phase splitting. Based on rigorous criteria, dynamic analysis from initial state to final equilibrium(e.g., evolution of phase composition, mass transfer rate and reaction rate) and optimal design of operating conditions(e.g., extractant dosage and feed molar ratio) are achieved. To illustrate the method, the esterification of n-hexyl acetate is taken as an example. The approach proves to be reliable in the analysis and optimization of the exemplified system, which provides instructive reference for further process design and simulation of reactive extraction.展开更多

The bandgap of the polymer is about 1.8 eV, which is comparable with that of PTV. Owing to the introduction of alkyl side groups onto the backbone of the polymer, it can be dissolved in common organic solvents such as chloroform, THF and toluene. The synthesis of soluble PHTV is a very important approach to preventing oxidation and to improving the properties and the processbility of the PTV. The existence of alkyl side groups in PHTV does not affect its, bandgap and thermal properties as compared with PTV. After doping with FeCl3, the conductivity of PHTV is as high as 1.1 x 10(-2) S/cm. The soluble PHTV can be easily transformed into thin film with much better quality than that of the PTV film prepared by the traditional precursor method, which is very important for fabricating devices with good properties.展开更多

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) proved to be an effective way to reduce the NOx emissions. In this present experimental work, a combination of exhaust gas recirculation and cetane improver ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN) is used to investigate the performance and exhaust emissions of a single cylinder four stroke naturally aspirated direct injection and air cooled diesel engine. Test results show that the brake thermal efficiency increases with the increase in the percentage of EGR which is accompanied by a reduction in brake specific fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperatures, and that bio- diesel with cetane improver under 20% EGR reduces NOx emissions by 33% when compared to baseline fuel without EGR. However carbon monoxide (CO), hydro carbon (HC) and smoke emissions increase with an increase in percentage of EGR.展开更多
