Resin is one of the most effective adsorbents for the removal of arsenic. In order to improve the adsorption capacity of resin, a new cerium-loaded cation exchange resin arsenic adsorbent was prepared by impregnating cerium into the cation exchange resin. Batch adsorption experiments under various conditions, such as time, temperature, pH and with coexisting ions were carried out to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of cerium-loaded resin in the removal of As（V） and As（III） from aqueous solutions. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics of As（V） and As（III） obeyed a pseudo second-order kinetic model and the adsorption rate constants were 0.3159 and 0.5215 g.mg-1-min-1, respectively. The adsorption of As（V） followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and the adsorption isotherm data for As（III） fitted well to the Langmuir equation model. The adsorption capacities were 1.0278 mg/g for As（V） and 2.5297 mg/g for As（Ill）. Both the adsorption of As（V） and As（Ill） were found to be pH sensitive and the optimum pH was found to be 5-6. Except for the phosphate ion, the coexisting anionics, such as nitrate, chlorate, sulphate and carbonate, showed no remarkable effect on As（V） and As（ill） adsorption. The desorption and regeneration study showed that the adsorption capacity of Ce-loaded resin for As（V） and As（Ill） could be restored to 97.80% and 69.61%, respectively, using 0.5 moFL sodium hydroxide solution.展开更多

Current work aims at enriching the basic theory of coal decomposition process of PG. The emphasis was laid on the exploration of impact of main impurities on the process. On the other hand, according to Reaction Module, Equilib Module, and Phase Diagram Module of FactS age, the simulation computation was done on the systems of pure gypsum mixed with coal,with or without impurities for avoiding other impurities interference. Later, possible reactions in the process were deduced. Additionally, experiments were conducted in a TG-DTA integrated thermal gravimetric analyzer and a tube furnace. The products from the experiments were characterized and analyzed to verify the accuracy of theoretical calculations. The results showed that these impurities can change the decomposition process of PG. For example, aluminum oxide was transformed to calcium sulfoaluminate, while iron oxide was transformed to dicalcium ferrite. Furthermore, the results help to further improve the basic theory of phosphogypsum decomposition.展开更多

Meanwhile, the PH_3 adsorption equilibrium was investigated experimentally and fitted by the Toth equation, and the isosteric heat of PH_3 adsorption was calculated by the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation. The exhausted MWAC was regenerated by water washing and air drying. Moreover, the properties of five different samples were characterized by N_2 adsorption isotherm, SEM/EDS, XPS, and FTIR. The results showed that the maximum PH_3 equilibrium adsorption capacity was 595.56 mg/g. The MWAC had an energetically heterogeneous surface due to values of isosteric heat of adsorption ranging from 43 to 90 kJ/mol. The regeneration method provided an effective way for both adsorption species recycling and exhausted carbon regeneration. The high removal efficiency and big equilibrium adsorption capacity for PH_3 adsorption on the MWAC were related to its large surface area and high oxidation activity in PH_3 adsorption-oxidation to H_3 PO_4 and P_2 O_5. Furthermore, a possible PH_3 adsorption mechanism was proposed.展开更多

文摘Iron and steel industry is one of the main sources of air pollution emissions in China.The sintering process is an important link in the blast furnace ironmaking process,but it is also accompanied by a large number of pollutants.Under the background of ultra-low emissions,iron and steel enterprises urgently need to upgrade their existing processes to address the existing process in practical application problems.In this study,a steel group in Gansu Province was taken as an example.By comparing and analyzing the pollutant emission characteristics before and after the ultra-low emission retrofit,the collaborative control effect of the combined process on SO_(2),NO_(x),particulate matter,and dioxins after the new retrofit was systematically evaluated.The results show that after the retrofit,the concentrations of particulate matter,SO_(2) and NO_(x) have dropped to near-zero levels,and the dioxin removal efficiency has reached 98.87%,with all indicators being better than the national ultra-low emission standards.The study confirms that the optimal combination of multi-pollutant collaborative treatment technologies is the key to achieving efficient emission reduction,among which selective catalytic reduction technology has a particularly significant synergistic removal effect on NO_(x) and dioxins.This study provides an important technical reference and practical basis for the ultra-low emission retrofit of the steel industry,and has important guiding significance for promoting the green retrofit of the industry.Its ultra-low emission retrofit is of great significance for achieving green and low-carbon development.

文摘Exogenous organic input impacts soil phosphorus transformation.Meanwhile,dissolved organic matter(DOM)is crucial for biogeochemical functions.Nevertheless,the interaction between the structural composition of DOM and phosphorus during the soil formation process of phosphogypsum(PG)remains unknown.This study explores the interaction between the structural composition of DOM and phosphorus in enhanced PG under the participation of fungal microorganisms through different application amounts of exogenous organic matter and culture time.Results show that application of exogenous organic matter led to varying degrees of increase in dissolved organic carbon(DOC)concentration and humification extent in the soil-like substrate.Additionally,the relative abundance of protein-like component C3 exhibited a trend of initial increase followed by decline over time.The contents of available phosphorus(AP),microbial biomass phosphorus(MBP),and active phosphorus pools(Active-P)in the soil-like substrate are all enhanced overall.Furthermore,a significant correlation exists between DOC and AP as well as MBP.This suggests that DOM is a crucial factor in enhancing the phosphorus availability of the soil-like substrate.The enrichment of known phosphate-solubilizing fungi in culturing favors the decomposition,activation and utilization of hard-to-mineralize phosphorus components in the soil-like substrate.These findings help understand DOM’s biogeochemical behavior and offer insights into PG utilization and the sustainable development of China’s phosphorus industry.

文摘Reservoirs play a critical role in addressing water resources challenges.However,their vertical influence on the assembly mechanisms of different microbial communities,including prokaryotes and eukaryotes,remains unclear.This study examined the vertical diversity patterns of abundant and rare subcommunities of prokaryotes and eukaryotes in an urban reservoir,using water depth as a geographical gradient and employing high-throughput sequencing.The impact of vertical environmental heterogeneity on community structure was quantified,and key drivers of these dynamics were identified.The results indicated that the urban reservoir exhibited statistically significant differences in the vertical distribution of water temperature and oxidation/reduction potential.The a-diversity of the abundant subcommunity displayed an opposing vertical pattern compared to that of the rare subcommunity,while the b-diversity for both subcommunities of prokaryotes and eukaryotes increased with water depth.Moreover,the distinct diversity patterns of abundant and rare subcommunities were associated with environmental heterogeneity and species adaptability.Notably,the b-diversity of the rare subcommunity of eukaryotes was primarily driven by species turnover in surface water,whereas nestedness became the dominant factor in deeper water.Furthermore,eukaryotic microbes exhibited a more pronounced response to changes in water depth than prokaryotes,consistent with the importance of heterogeneous selection to the eukaryotic community.Water temperature significantly affected the community composition of all groups,highlighting its importance in shaping community dynamics.This study provides valuable insights into the vertical distribution and assembly mechanisms of microbial communities in urban reservoirs,contributing to the protection and management of aquatic ecosystems under river regulation.

文摘Enhancing soil organic matter characteristics,ameliorating physical structure,mitigating heavy metal toxicity,and hastening mineral weathering processes are crucial approaches to accomplish the transition of tailings substrate to a soil-like substrate.The incorporation of biomass co-pyrolysis and plant colonization has been established to be a significant factor in soil substrate formation and soil pollutant remediation.Despite this,there is presently an absence of research efforts aimed at synergistically utilizing these two technologies to expedite the process of mining tailings soil substrate formation.The current study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of geochemical changes and rapid mineral weathering during the process of transforming tailings substrate into a soil-like substrate,under the combined effects of biomass co-smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization.The findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization induces a high-temperature effect and biological effects,which enhance the physical and chemical properties of tailings,while simultaneously accelerating the rate of mineral weathering.Notable improvements include the amelioration of extreme pH levels,nutrient enrichment,the formation of aggregates,and an increase in enzyme activity,all of which collectively demonstrate the successful attainment of tailings substrate reconstruction.Evidence of the acceleratedweathering was verified by phase and surfacemorphology analysis using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.Discovered corrosion and fragmentation on the surface ofminerals.The weathering resulted in corrosion and fragmentation of the surface of the treated mineral.This study confirms that co-smoldering pyrolysis of biomass,combined with plant colonization,can effectively promote the transformation of tailings into soil-like substrates.This method has can effectively address the key challenges that have previously hindered sustainable development of the mining industry and provides a novel approach for ecological restoration of tailings deposits.

文摘This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25,50,85,200,and 300,used for the removal of H_(2)S in lowtemperature,low-oxygen environments.The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated.According to the performance test results,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity,reaching 231.75 mg H_(2)S/g_(sorbent).Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H_(2)S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance.XRD,BET,and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species,with Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content,providing more active sites for H_(2)S adsorption.H_(2)-TPR and O_(2)-TPD results confirmed that Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity,contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process.With notable characteristics such as a large surface area,high desulfurization efficiency,and water resistance,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.
文摘Objective Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of NUDT19 in the initiation,progression,and prognosis of specific cancer types.However,its involvement in pan-cancer analysis has not been fully characterized.This study aims to systematically explore the expression patterns,clinical significance,and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in various cancer types through multi-omics analysis,further revealing its potential role in cancer,particularly its functional and therapeutic target value in leukemia.Methods To achieve this goal,various bioinformatics approaches were employed to evaluate the expression patterns,clinical significance,and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in tumors and normal tissues.Additionally,we analyzed the mutation characteristics of NUDT19 and its relationship with epigenetic modifications.Using the single-cell analysis tool SingleCellBase,we explored the distribution of NUDT19 across different cell subpopulations in tumors.To validate these findings,qRT-PCR was used to measure NUDT19 expression levels in specific tumor cell lines,and we established acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cell lines(HL-60 and THP-1)to conduct NUDT19 knockdown and overexpression experiments,assessing its effects on leukemia cell proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion.Results Pan-cancer analysis revealed the dysregulated expression of NUDT19 across multiple cancer types,which was closely associated with poor prognosis,clinical staging,and diagnostic markers.Furthermore,NUDT19 was significantly correlated with tumor biomarkers,immune-related genes,and immune cell infiltration in different cancers.Mutation analysis showed that multiple mutations in NUDT19 were significantly associated with epigenetic changes.Single-cell analysis revealed the heterogeneity of NUDT19 expression in cancer cells,suggesting its potentially diverse functional roles in different cell subpopulations.qRT-PCR experiments confirmed the significant upregulation of NUDT19 in various tumor cell lines.In AML cell lines,NUDT19 knockdown led to reduced cell proliferation and invasion,with increased apoptosis,while NUDT19 overexpression significantly enhanced cell proliferation and invasion while reducing apoptosis.Conclusion This study demonstrates the diverse roles of NUDT19 in various cancer types,with a particularly prominent functional role in leukemia.NUDT19 is not only associated with tumor initiation and progression but may also influence cancer progression through the regulation of immune microenvironment and epigenetic mechanisms.Our research highlights the potential of NUDT19 as a therapeutic target,particularly for targeted therapies in malignancies such as leukemia,with significant clinical application prospects.

文摘Metal nanoparticle(NP_S)catalysts exhibit desirable activities in various catalytic reactions.However,the sintering of metal NPs at high-temperatures even in reducing atmospheres limits its practical application.In this work,we successfully synthesized TPA-ZSM-5 with pit-type defects by treating the ZSM-5 with tetrahydroxy ammonium hydroxide(TPAOH),which was then used as a support to prepare Ag-based and Cu-based catalysts.Stability testing results show that the Ag/TPA-ZSM-5 catalyst treated at 800℃with H_(2) could maintain the high performance in NH_(3)-SCO and the Cu/TPA-ZSM-5 catalyst treated at 900℃ with N_(2) could maintained its excellent activity in NH_(3)-SCR,however,the activities of Ag/ZSM-5 and Cu/ZSM-5 were drastically decreased or even deactivated after high-temperature treatment.In addition,a series of characterization analyses revealed that the excellent thermal stability is attribute to the presence of pit-type defects in the TPA-ZSM-5 as physical barriers to slow down or even inhibit the Ag NPs and Cu NPs sintering process.The strategy of using the pit-type defects to inhibit the sintering of metal NPs and improve the thermal stability can greatly enhance the practical application of catalysts.

文摘To improve the activity of Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalysts in selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia(NH_(3)-SCO),valence state and size of active centers of Al_(2)O_(3)-supported Co catalysts were adjusted by conducting H_(2)reduction pretreatment.The NH_(3)-SCO activity of the adjusted 2Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst was substantially improved,outperforming other catalysts with higher Co-loading.Fresh Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalysts exhibited multitemperature reduction processes,enabling the control of the valence state of the Co-active centers by adjusting the reduction temperature.Changes in the state of the Co-active centers also led to differences in redox capacity of the catalysts,resulting in different reaction mechanisms for NH_(3)-SCO.However,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra revealed that an excessive O_(2)activation capacity caused overoxidation of NH_(3)to NO and NO_(2).The NH_(3)-SCO activity of the 2Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst with low redox capacity was successfully increased while controlling and optimizing the N_(2)selectivity by modulating the active centers via H_(2)pretreatment,which is a universalmethod used for enhancing the redox properties of catalysts.Thus,this method has great potential for application in the design of inexpensive and highly active catalysts.

文摘Biomass burning(BB)emits carbonaceous aerosols that significantly influence air quality in Southwest China during spring.To further understand the characteristics of spring BB and its original contribution to organic carbon(OC),daily fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))samples were collected from March to May 2022 in Pu'er,Southwest China.The concentrations of OC,elemental carbon(EC),levoglucosan(Lev),and potassium from BB(K+BB)during the study period ranged from 5.3 to 31.2μg/m^(3),0.86-13.1μg/m^(3),0.06-0.82μg/m^(3),and 0.05-2.88μg/m^(3),respectively.To eliminate the effects of Lev degradation,this study uses the Aging of Air Mass(AAM)index to correct the atmospheric concentration of Lev and combines Bayesian mixture modeling with a molecular tracer method to assess the original contribution of BB to OC.The results indicated that the AAM index was 0.18±0.05,indicating that the degradation of Lev reached 82%.When considering the degradation of levoglucosan in the atmosphere,the primary source of BB aerosols was crop-straw combustion(71.1%),followed by the combustion of certain hardwoods and softwoods(24.9%)and grasses(4.0%).The original contribution of BB to OC was 62.4%,which was much greater than the contribution when levoglucosan degradation(23.7%)was ignored.The air mass inverse trajectories and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)fire hotspots indicated that the BB plume from Southeast Asia during spring could influence PM_(2.5)long-range transport in remote locations,and the contribution could reach 82%in Southwest China.

文摘Large-scale damming has emerged as a prevalent global trend,significantly impacting nutrient transport and transformation,as well as the downstream ecological environment.Nitrogen and phosphorus are fundamental elements of primary productivity in aquatic ecosystems and serve as key limiting factors in reservoir eutrophication.This review focuses on the impact of damming on the transport and transformation of nitrogen and phosphorus,regarding changes in nutrient concentrations,fluxes,and proportions.Spatial changes in nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations primarily occur at the inlet and outlet of reservoirs,while temporal changes often exhibit seasonal patterns.At a global scale,phosphorus is preferentially removed from reservoirs compared to nitrogen.The factors influencing the transport and transformation processes of nitrogen and phosphorus in reservoirs include the physicochemical properties of water bodies and human activities.Additionally,nitrogen dynamics are affected by reservoir age,storage capacity,and water storage regulation modes,whereas phosphorus dynamics are also influenced by hydrodynamic conditions.Finally,this review summarizes the impact of damming on the downstream ecological environment and outlines future research directions,providing theoretical support for the management of river–reservoir ecosystems and promoting the green and sustainable development of hydropower in the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

文摘Sand rice(Agriophyllum squarrosum),a pioneering annual plant thriving in deserts and sandy regions throughout the Asian interior,is believed to be a potential food and forage crop due to its significant nutritional and medicinal values.Previous metabolomics analyses have revealed that sand rice contains abundant flavonoid components,which are known for their wide applications in cosmetics,food,and pharmaceuticals.To optimize the use of flavonoids in sand rice,in this study,the response surface methodology(RSM)was selected to determine the optimal ultrasonic-assisted extraction(UAE)criteria for flavonoids extraction from the aerial part of sand rice firstly.Statistical analyses unveiled the optimum parameters for flavonoids extraction fromsand rice could be 62%of ethanol concentration,1:43 solid-toliquid ratio,160Wfor ultrasound power,and 52℃for extraction temperature with extraction time of 12 min.Under this condition,the experiment optimumtotal flavonoid yield could reach at 15.24 mg/g,which was correspond to the maximum predicted value of RSM with 15.22 mg/g.Subsequently,the antifungal efficacy of these extracts was evaluated against three common plant pathogenic fungi,showing a significant inhibitory effect with the highest rate of inhibition reaching 25.3%at a concentration of 4 mg/mL,underscoring its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent.This studywill not only provide a powerful method to extract flavonoids froma desert resource plant,but also pave the way for industrial development and application of the promising desert plants with high nutritional and medicinal values.

文摘Methyl mercaptan(CH_(3)SH)is notorious for global air pollution owing to its odorous characteristics and adverse health effects.Although CeO_(2) is currently regarded as a promising catalyst for CH_(3)SH decomposition,the high conversion temperature followed by high energy consumption is still a bottleneck.Herein,the cobalt-doped CeO_(2) catalyst was synthesized by a facile one-pot preparation strategy and successfully reduces the decomposition temperature from 450 to 250℃.Further studies demonstrate that the excellent low-temperature catalytic activity of Co_(0.6)Ce_(0.4)O_(2-σ)is attributed to its abundant oxygen vacancies and reactive oxygen species.Oxygen vacancies promote the adsorption and dissociation of CH_(3)SH,while reactive oxygen species facilitate the decomposition of CH_(3)SH.Moreover,Co acts as a sacrificial agent for the adsorption of sulfur species in CH_(3)SH,while Ce is responsible for the adsorption and activation of CH_(3)SH as the active metal phase.Furthermore,the migration and transformation mechanism of CH_(3)SH on the surface of Co_(0.6)Ce_(0.4)O_(2-δ)was determined via in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra(in situ-DRIFTS).This work provides a new strategy to synthesize highperformance catalysts for decomposing sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds(VOCs)at low temperatures,which is beneficial to decreasing the energy consumption.

文摘The utilization of solid wastes to prepare Li_(4)SiO_(4) based CO_(2) adsorbents and thermochemical energy storage(TES)materials has recently garnered significant interest.Considering practical application conditions,the influence of CO_(2) concentration and temperature fluctuations on adsorbent performance remains a key research focus.Among various waste materials,waste clay bricks are particularly suitable for Li_(4)SiO_(4) synthesis due to their high SiO_(2) content(60% to 70%),while enabling waste valorization.Furthermore,it has been demonstrated that heteroatoms present in the waste materials positively in-fluence the CO_(2) adsorption performance of Li_(4)SiO_(4)-based adsorbents.In this study,Li_(4)SiO_(4) was syn thesized for the first time directly from waste clay bricks without pretreatment.Comprehensive characterization revealed that the resulting Li_(4)SiO_(4)-based adsorbent exhibits outstanding performance:a high CO_(2) capture capacity(27.9%(mass)),excellent cycling stability,and remarkable thermal energy storage capability(876.4 kJ·kg^(-1)).These superior properties position it as one of the most promising high-temperature adsorbents for simultaneous CO_(2) capture and thermal energy storage(TES)from fossil fuel flue gase.Moreover,the adsorbent maintained excellent stability under fluctuating temper-ature and CO_(2) concentration.Even at 20%(vol)CO_(2) and 500℃,it achieved a high capacity of 25.7%(mass),reaching equilibrium within 15 min.This CO_(2) capture performance is truly impressive.

文摘Large-scale CO_(2)emissions have exacerbated the greenhouse effect,reinforcing the critical need for efficient CO_(2)mitigation methods.Plasma-catalytic technology enables CO_(2)conversion under mild conditions,especially for CO_(2)methanation(the Sabatier reaction),which has attracted significant attention due to its economic benefits and the potential for safe energy transportation via existing natural gas pipelines.The development of high-performance CO_(2)methanation catalysts remains an ongoing and long-term objective,and there is a lack of adequate in-situ characterization techniques to investigate the mechanisms.This study focuses on the Ni/La_(2)O_(3)(LN)catalyst and introduces two CO_(2)activation strategies through F and Na modifications:the Ni-Ov-Ni site activation with electron transfer from Ni0 under low-power conditions and basic site activation under high-power conditions.The LN-NaF catalysts enhance CO_(2)methanation activity across the entire power range compared to LN,achieving a CO_(2)conversion of 86.3%and CH4 selectivity of 99.4%.Additionally,LN-F(h)reaches a CH4 yield 4.15 times higher than that of LN at low power.Furthermore,in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform(DRIFT)spectroscopy with a self-made reactor are performed under plasma-catalytic conditions to reveal the CO_(2)adsorption and conversion mechanisms,indicating that different dopants(F,Na,and NaF)exhibit promoting effects on different intermediates,resulting in variations in CO_(2)methanation activity.This study provides valuable insights for improving catalyst performance and a thorough comprehension of mechanisms in CO_(2)methanation.

文摘The removal of arsenic from water and wastewater is obligatory. Resin is one of the most effective adsorbents for the removal of arsenic. In order to improve the adsorption capacity of resin, a new cerium-loaded cation exchange resin arsenic adsorbent was prepared by impregnating cerium into the cation exchange resin. Batch adsorption experiments under various conditions, such as time, temperature, pH and with coexisting ions were carried out to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of cerium-loaded resin in the removal of As（V） and As（III） from aqueous solutions. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics of As（V） and As（III） obeyed a pseudo second-order kinetic model and the adsorption rate constants were 0.3159 and 0.5215 g.mg-1-min-1, respectively. The adsorption of As（V） followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and the adsorption isotherm data for As（III） fitted well to the Langmuir equation model. The adsorption capacities were 1.0278 mg/g for As（V） and 2.5297 mg/g for As（Ill）. Both the adsorption of As（V） and As（Ill） were found to be pH sensitive and the optimum pH was found to be 5-6. Except for the phosphate ion, the coexisting anionics, such as nitrate, chlorate, sulphate and carbonate, showed no remarkable effect on As（V） and As（ill） adsorption. The desorption and regeneration study showed that the adsorption capacity of Ce-loaded resin for As（V） and As（Ill） could be restored to 97.80% and 69.61%, respectively, using 0.5 moFL sodium hydroxide solution.

文摘Phosphogypsum(PG) is a solid waste produced in the phosphate fertilizer industry and is environmentally harmful.The decomposition of PG to recycle calcium and sulfur is a proper way to reutilize PG. Current work aims at enriching the basic theory of coal decomposition process of PG. The emphasis was laid on the exploration of impact of main impurities on the process. On the other hand, according to Reaction Module, Equilib Module, and Phase Diagram Module of FactS age, the simulation computation was done on the systems of pure gypsum mixed with coal,with or without impurities for avoiding other impurities interference. Later, possible reactions in the process were deduced. Additionally, experiments were conducted in a TG-DTA integrated thermal gravimetric analyzer and a tube furnace. The products from the experiments were characterized and analyzed to verify the accuracy of theoretical calculations. The results showed that these impurities can change the decomposition process of PG. For example, aluminum oxide was transformed to calcium sulfoaluminate, while iron oxide was transformed to dicalcium ferrite. Furthermore, the results help to further improve the basic theory of phosphogypsum decomposition.

文摘We prepared a kind of metal oxide-modified walnut-shell activated carbon(MWAC) by KOH chemical activation method and used for PH_3 adsorption removal. Meanwhile, the PH_3 adsorption equilibrium was investigated experimentally and fitted by the Toth equation, and the isosteric heat of PH_3 adsorption was calculated by the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation. The exhausted MWAC was regenerated by water washing and air drying. Moreover, the properties of five different samples were characterized by N_2 adsorption isotherm, SEM/EDS, XPS, and FTIR. The results showed that the maximum PH_3 equilibrium adsorption capacity was 595.56 mg/g. The MWAC had an energetically heterogeneous surface due to values of isosteric heat of adsorption ranging from 43 to 90 kJ/mol. The regeneration method provided an effective way for both adsorption species recycling and exhausted carbon regeneration. The high removal efficiency and big equilibrium adsorption capacity for PH_3 adsorption on the MWAC were related to its large surface area and high oxidation activity in PH_3 adsorption-oxidation to H_3 PO_4 and P_2 O_5. Furthermore, a possible PH_3 adsorption mechanism was proposed.

文摘The absorbent composing of Bayer red mud and water was prepared and applied to removing SO2 from flue gas.Effects of the ratio of liquid to solid(L/S),the absorption temperature,the inlet SO2 concentration,the O2 concentration,SO4^2-and other different components of Bayer red mud on desulfurization were conducted.The mechanism of flue gas desulfurization was also established.The results indicated that L/S was the prominent factor,followed by the inlet SO2 concentration and the temperature was the least among them.The optimum condition was as follows:L/S,the temperature and the SO2 concentration were 20:1,25℃and 1000 mg/m^3,respectively,under the gas flow of 1.5 L/min.The desulfurization efficiency was not significantly influenced when O2 concentration was above 7%.The accumulation of SO4^2-inhibited the desulfurization efficiency.The alkali absorption and metal ions liquid catalytic oxidation were involved in the process,which accounted for 98.61%.
