The orthogonal test results showed that the optimal operating conditions were as follows: H2O2 dosage 300mg/L, initial pH 3.4, reaction time 90min and FeSO4·7H2O dosage 3.5mmol/L. TOC removal rate could reach 61.7% under the optimal conditions. It was found that coking wastewater degradation followed a pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic model. Coking wastewater were well degraded by this system, which provided a theoretical guidance for advanced treatment of coking wastewater by three-dimensional electrode reactor coupling Fenton's reagent process in engineering application.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"646-648"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83812399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then delignification course during pretreatment stage was obtained by conditional experiments after orthogonal experiments. Finally reaction course was analyzed by the changes of OH- and HS- in the pretreatment liquor. The results showed that the optimal conditions of delignification were as follows: maximum temperature, 120°C; green liquor dose, 1L/kg; holding time, 1h; liquor ratio, 1:4. The delignification process had three periods, which were the initial delignification stage, mass delignification stage and residual delignification stage. During the pretreatment the main function of NaOH was to open the channels for ion penetration, and provided suitable environment for the reaction between HS- and lignin. The main function of HS- was to react with lignin molecular and made it dissolvable after fragmentation.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"90 1","pages":"345-350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89385825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, chitosan coated permutite granules were prepared as a new adsorbent and then optimized and applied to the removal of zinc and copper ions from feed water from a local plant. TG-DTA and SEM analysis illustrated that the modified permutite was not simply a mixture, but a novel adsorbent with better thermal stability than unamended permutite. The best ratio of chitosan to permutite was 1:80 (M1) for zinc and 1:40 (M2) for copper, which could remove 58.8% and 50.2% of the ions in 30 min, respectively. M1 could decrease the zinc ions at an initial concentration of 2 mg/L by 99% in 60 min while M2 removed 50% of copper ions in 150 min, which were both improvements over unamended permutite or chitosan. The difference between zinc and copper ions adsorption on the composed material was mainly attributed to the low initial concentration and the difference in the adsorption capacity of permutite for these ions. The chitosan coated permutite granules could effectively adsorb metal ions in low concentrations and remediate micro-polluted water (with metal ions) to meet applicable standards under controlled conditions.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"5 1","pages":"545-548"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87223338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the purifying efficiency of livestock wastewater with three aquatic plant species, Potamogeton pectinatu, Elodea nuttallii, and Duckweed were investigated by Aquatic plant purification tank simulating experiment. The results showed that the aquatic plants had significant removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of Turbidity attained 80.6%, 82.6%, 90.8% respectively and dissolved oxygen, respectively, increased to 83%, 89.3%, 94.8%. Removal rate of COD in Duckweed tank accounted for 43.83%, which was significantly higher than those in Potamogeton pectinatu, and Elodea nuttallii tanks. Three aquatic plants had high removal rate of total phosphorus (TP), which reached 84.4%, 90.5%, 95.95% respectively.

The metal foams have pore densities from 30 to 60ppi (pores per inch) and thickness from 2.0 to 5.0mm. The effects of heat flux, surface superheat, liquid temperature and characteristic parameters of metal foam on pool boiling heat transfer were investigated. It is found that metal foam surfaces can significantly enhance pool boiling heat transfer and lower the surface superheat at the boiling incipience. Pore density and thickness exists an optimal value to strengthen boiling heat transfer. The boiling heat transfer coefficient on the metal foam surfaces is about 2~3 times of those on the plain surfaces. The significant reasons are due to the distinct nature of high porosity and multi-scale pore sizes of metal foams. The larger pores help to release the created vapor while the smaller pores help to suck the liquid toward the heater surface, decreasing the shear stress at the vapor-liquid interface for the counter-current flow.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"899-903"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89656472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show, the substitution of turbofan with turboprop can reduce the total fuel burn. But this benefit reduces from 18.9% to 6.5% with the increase of the flight range from 650km to 4000km due to stronger and stronger time penalty from 23% to 37%. In addition, this substitution can also reduce around 80% NOx emission, while the reduction of CO2 emission is proportional to the reduction of fuel burn.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"16 1","pages":"955-958"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75479465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been discovered in the study that the heat loss of the absorber increases with the increase of the inclination and the ambient wind speed. The influence of the ambient wind speed on the heat loss is relatively large, while that of the inclination is relatively small. Meanwhile, the heat loss in windless conditions is equivalent with that of the evacuated tube.
