Abstract1911)   HTML47)    PDF (4097KB)(7197)      

Controlling the use of fossil fuels and promoting the development of alternative new and clean energy sources is consistent with the theme of synergistic development between resource development and environmental protection. As a green energy source with high energy density, nuclear energy can be widely applied to alleviate the energy shortage in our country. The proven uranium resource content in seawater is more than 1 000 times higher than that in uranium mines. Extracting uranium from seawater is a potential way to ensure the long?term supply of uranium resource and the sustainable development of nuclear power. Adsorption has emerged as one of the effective methods for extracting uranium from seawater due to its advantages of high adsorption efficiency, simple operation, low cost, and environmentally friendly. However, the adsorption faces a number of challenges when extracting uranium from seawater, such as the extremely low concentrations of uranium in seawater and their stable existence in the form of Ca2UO2(CO3)3 or [UO2(CO3)3]4-, as well as a large variety and quantity of coexisting ions. Therefore, the preparation of high?performance adsorbents to achieve efficient and selective separation and enrichment of uranium in seawater is one of the important research topics in the field of environmental science. In this review, the types of adsorbents for uranium extraction from seawater and the performance enhancement strategies of their properties are briefly introduced, with the aim of helping researchers in this field design promising adsorbents for practical seawater uranium extraction.

With the rise of electric revolution and the establishment of "carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality" strategy, petroleum coke has got great development in value?added applications such as lithium cathode materials and high?grade prebaked anode.However,high value?added applications of petroleum coke all have strict requirements for sulfur content of petroleum coke. The high sulfur content in petroleum coke will have a negative impact on the high value application of petroleum coke.The research status of main desulphurization technologies of petroleum coke,including solvent extraction desulfurization technology,high temperature calcination desulfurization technology,oxidation desulfurization technology, alkali metal compound desulfurization technology,hydrodesulfurization technology,microbial desulfurization technology and process intensification auxiliary desulfurization technology are summarized.It was found that the desulphurisation rate of process?enhanced assisted desulphurisation could reach 93.6%,which could reduce the sulphur mass fraction in petroleum coke from 7.57% to 0.48%. The desulfurization technology of petroleum coke should maintain the principle that the structure of petroleum coke after desulfurization is not destroyed to the greatest extent.Therefore,oxidative desulfurization coupled process enhancement assisted desulfurization should have bright prospect in industrial application of petroleum coke desulphurization.

Abstract1862)   HTML31)    PDF (7175KB)(3046)      

Sodium?ion batteries are considered a promising alternative to lithium?ion and lead?acid batteries, offering a balance between performance and cost?effectiveness for applications requiring moderate energy density and low cost. Hard carbon stands out as the most promising anode material for sodium?ion batteries, with the majority of scholars attributing its sodium storage capacity primarily to its porous structure. However, characterization techniques for this porous structure are currently very limited. This hinders in?depth analysis of the hard carbon pore structure and makes it more difficult to design performance enhancement strategies. This review provides an overview of current methods for characterizing the pore structure of hard carbon, including transmission electron microscopy, gas adsorption, X?ray small angle scattering, and helium true density testing. The combined use of these methods helps accurately characterize the pore structure of hard carbon and provides research ideas and technical support for the design of high?performance hard carbon anodes.

Abstract1826)   HTML18)    PDF (2656KB)(2935)      

The use of solar photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is one of the most promising technologies to solve water pollution problems and achieve solar energy conversion. By changing the amount of g-C3N4 added, g-C3N4/Co3O4 catalysts with different g-C3N4 mass fractions are prepared based on the calcination method with cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)2-6H2O) and urea (NH4CNO) as raw materials. The samples are analyzed and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). To speculate on the active species of the catalyst, capture agent experiments are conducted on it. The results indicate that the synergistic effect between g-C3N4 and Co3O4 can improve the transfer and separation efficiency of charge carriers at the interface between the two phases. Under visible light, the degradation effect of 10% g-C3N4/Co3O4 is the best, with a degradation rate of 66.50%, which is higher than the degradation effect of single Co3O4 (degradation rate of 35.90%). The active species of the catalyst are mainly superoxide radicals(·O2-) and holes(h+). After compounding with g-C3N4, the drawbacks of Co3O4 electron hole pair, such as too fast recombination and a deficient energy level structure, are improved, providing ideas for the degradation of organic pollutants in the future.

Sn additives can effectively improve the propylene selectivity of propane dehydrogenated Pt?based catalysts and inhibit the generation of carbon deposition,but the effect of Sn additives is still unclear.Therefore,in this paper,different PtSn action systems were constructed by co?impregnation method and sol?gel method to modulate the introduction of PtSn,and the effect of Sn introduction methods on the dehydrogenation performance of propane of Pt?based catalysts was systematically explored.XRD and BET were used to characterize the texture properties of the catalyst,H2?TPR,TEM and CO?IR were used to distinguish the Sn structure of the additives,and the propane dehydrogenation reaction evaluation and carbon deposition analysis of the catalysts were carried out.The results show that compared with the PtSn/γ?Al2O3 catalyst prepared by co?impregnation method,the Pt/Sn?γ?Al2O3 catalyst prepared by sol?gel method has a lower specific surface area and higher pore size,which can promote the interaction between PtSn clusters and carriers to achieve high metal dispersion.More active sites give the Pt/Sn?γ?Al2O3 catalyst higher propane conversion and propylene yield,and the larger pore size of the carrier also significantly reduces the carbon deposition of the catalyst.

Abstract2381)   HTML18)    PDF (3022KB)(1714)      

CO2 geological storage is one of the most important means to mitigate the greenhouse effect.The safety of CO2 securely stored in underground reservoirs largely depends on the mechanical integrity of the caprock.This paper establishes a coupled fluid-solid model for CO2 geological storage to study the changes in pore pressure,vertical displacement,and effective stress in the caprock during the CO2 injection process.It analyzes the effects of CO2 injection rate,caprock elastic parameters,and geostress factors on the occurrence of tensile and shear failures in the caprock.The results indicate that,at the initial stage of CO2 injection, changes in pore pressure,vertical displacement,and effective stress at the bottom of the cap near the injection well are significant but gradually stabilize thereafter.The area near the injection well is considered the most critical part of the caprock,where the risk of mechanical failure is greatest.During the CO2 injection process,the injection rate and geostress factors have the most significant impact on the occurrence of mechanical failures in the caprock.The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for assessing the long-term stability and safety of CO2 geological storage systems.

Cellulose, due to its abundance and propensity to form spherical structures, serves as an exceptional precursor for the synthesis of high-performance hard carbon materials used in sodium-ion batteries. This study explores the interplay between different cellulose types, their structural evolution during hydrothermal spherization, and the subsequent impact on the microcrystalline characteristics and electrochemical performance of the resulting hard carbon for sodium storage. The results observed that the crystallinity of various cellulose precursors-namely natural cellulose, α-cellulose, and microcrystalline cellulose-and their corresponding hard carbons are positively correlated. Among these, hard carbon derived from α-cellulose demonstrated superior attributes, including the highest closed pore volume and a balanced defect density, which contribute to its enhanced sodium storage capacity. Furthermore, the hydrothermal treatment of α-cellulose at 220 °C was optimized to achieve a spherical morphology, which significantly benefited both the capacity and rate performance of the hard carbon. The reversible capacities at current densities of 20 and 2 000 mA/g are 329.4 and 53.9 mA·h/g, respectively.

Abstract1540)   HTML17)    PDF (2715KB)(1342)      

During the process of water electrolysis,the "bubble effect" will significantly reduce the overall performance of the system.The classical nucleation theory (CNT model) fails to reveal the regulatory mechanism of the electrical double layer (EDL),surface microstructure,and mass transfer synergy on nucleation kinetics in actual electrochemical systems.This study develops an electrode interface bubble nucleation model with the synergistic effect of electrical double layer?mass transfer?surface microstructure,considering the synergistic regulation mechanism of ion migration diffusion behavior,electrode surface nano microstructure,and concentration boundary layer on the nucleation process.The research results show that the synergistic effect of EDL and microporous structurel generates significant potential gradients at the surface micropores,leading to an increase in local supersaturation and prioritizing bubble nucleation.At high overpotentials,the effect of the concentration boundary layer on nucleation energy barrier exhibits a nonlinear relationship.The thinner the concentration boundary layer is,the more significant the decreasing trend of the nucleation rate at high potential will be.The growth of bubbles is dominated by the net concentration flux near the three?phase contact line (TPCL),exhibiting a two?stage growth characteristic.The study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the surface design of gas evolution electrodes.

The Biological seepage studies the seepage of biofluids in living organisms and fluids containing microorganisms in non-biological porous media.The mass transfer diffusion osmosis phenomenon of a porous bioelastomer material,poly(glycidyl sebacate) (PGS),implanted into human soft tissues was simulated.The pore structure of the PGS material was characterised by N2 adsorption-desorption and the scaffold model with different pore numbers and pore diameters was designed using the multi-physics field simulation software-COMSOL to investigate the effects of pore and pore diameter parameters on blood osmosis when the pore size was constant.COMSOL was used to design the adapted PGS stent models,numerically simulate the characteristics of the blood flow when blood flowed through the PGS stent,and analyse the kinetic viscosity and the shear rate of the blood field with the theory of fluid dynamics.Comparative analyses of seepage pressure and diffusion at different blood inlet velocities were carried out. The results show that the PGS material is a material that tends to be mesoporous.When the blood flows inside the porous scaffold, the kinetic viscosity varies with the shear rate,indicating that the blood seepage inside the scaffold is a kind of non-Newtonian fluid seepage.The diffusion speed of the blood inside the porous scaffold is different under different inlet velocities and the larger the inlet velocity is,the higher the pressure,and the faster the mass transfer diffusion speed will be.

The efficient removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from contaminated water remains a challenge due to the very stable carbon?fluorine bonds in perfluorinated compounds.In this experiment,nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was used to degrade PFOA,a difficult?to?degrade organic pollutant in water,and the effects of discharge parameters such as discharge atmosphere,discharge power,gas flow rate,and liquid flow rate,as well as the reaction conditions,on the removal rate of PFOA were investigated in the reaction.The experimental results showed that under the conditions of the discharge atmosphere of argon,discharge power of 11.84 W,gas flow rate of 3.33 L/min,and liquid flow rate of 0.28 L/min,DBD had a better degradation effect on PFOA,and the removal rate could reach more than 94.0% after 60 min of reaction.Combined with emission spectroscopy and free radical burst analysis,it was determined that e-,?OH,H2O2, and O3 were the main active species to break the molecular structure of PFOA and realize the efficient degradation of the reactants,and thus could provide an effective solution for the removal of PFOA in water.

Abstract1900)   HTML48)    PDF (3020KB)(1237)      

To investigate the effect of donor unit length on the thermoelectric properties of D-A conjugated polymer,three D-A conjugated polymers(PDPP-DTP,PDPP-2DTP,PDPP-3DTP) based on dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole (DTP) with different donor unit lengths were designed and synthesized.The influence of donor unit lengths on the energy levels of the polymers was studied by electrochemical characterization and density functional theory calculations.With ferric chloride as dopant,the polymer films were oxidation doped.Their optical and thermoelectric properties as well as the temperature dependent resistance were discussed.The results show that the HOMO energy levels of the polymers gradually increase with the extension of the length of the DTP-like donor unit,which makes them easier to be oxidatively doped.At the same dopant concentration,the doped polymers exhibit higher conductivity with the extension of the donor unit length.Among them,PDPP-3DTP shows the highest electrical conductivity of 302.3 S/cm,which is much higher than that of PDPP-2DTP(106.2 S/cm) and PDPP-DTP(64.7 S/cm).The charge transport energy barrier of the polymer films gradually decreases with the extension of the length of the donor unit,which is beneficial for the enhancement of electrical conductivity of doped films.However,the Seebeck coefficient of the doped polymer film decreases with the extension of the length of the donor unit,and the final polymer PDPP-2DTP is doped and optimized to have the highest thermoelectric power factor of 19.4 μW/(m·K2).

Abstract1172)   HTML9)    PDF (1148KB)(1179)      

To study the explosion risk associated with the use of wearable devices in oil transfer stations, research was conducted through the investigation of explosion accidents at oil transfer stations and fire and explosion accidents involving wearable devices. Additionally, experimental tests were carried out on the maximum surface temperature of wearable devices, their electromagnetic radiation power, and calculations were done to analyze the explosion risk of the devices' batteries. It was found that there have been no reported cases of explosion accidents at oil transfer stations caused by the use of smart wearable devices. The ignition risks associated with wearable devices in oil and gas locations mainly include: the risk of ignition due to device overheating, the risk of battery combustion and explosion, and the risk of sparks from device radio frequency. During the use of smart wearable devices, it is virtually impossible for temperatures to exceed 200.0 ℃, thus mitigating the risk of oil and gas ignition due to heated surfaces. The maximum electromagnetic radiation power tested for wearable smart devices is far too low to ignite petroleum vapors. Consequently, the risk of oil and gas combustion or explosion accidents caused by wearable devices catching fire or exploding within oil transfer stations is minimal or even negligible, falling within an acceptable range of safety risks.

Abstract1704)   HTML17)    PDF (4269KB)(1144)      

Compared with the commonly used gas-liquid bubble tower, the tubular gas-liquid contactor has the advantages of high gas content rate, low energy consumption and simple maintenance to strengthen the gas-liquid mass transfer process by generating a uniform bubble-like and highly dispersed system in the pipeline space.A micro-bubble type tubular gas-liquid contactor was developed independently which utilizes the high-speed shear crushing effect of a venturi jet bubble generator to generate micro bubbles.Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation and indoor experiments,the bubble formation mechanism and bubble size distribution of the micro bubble tubular gas-liquid contactor were investigated.The results show that the VOF multiphase flow model coupled with RNG k-ε turbulence model can simulate the jet impingement process and bubble formation characteristics. In the expansion section of the venturi jet bubble generator,large bubbles are sheared and broken into micro bubbles, and the bubbles are uniform and stable. The particle size of bubbles decreases with the increase of liquid volume, and the particle size of bubbles is the smallest (76.5 μm) when the liquid volume is 14.0 L/min, the gas volume is the maximum natural suction volume, and the length of the column is 800 mm. The bubble particle size increases with the increase of gas volume, and is the smallest (86.7 μm) when the gas volume is 1.5 L/min, the liquid volume is 8.0 L/min, and the length of the column is 800 mm.As the length of column increases, the bubble size first decreases and then remains basically unchanged. When the column length is greater than 800 mm, its impact on the bubble particle size is relatively small.

Abstract1767)   HTML15)    PDF (3222KB)(1140)      

Two nonionic surfactants were synthesized using N-dodecylsuccinic anhydride, L-leucine, and polyether alcohol as materials. In order to study the aggregation morphology and properties of these two surfactants, their surface tension at different concentrations was tested and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was determined based on the γ-lgc curve. The molecular dynamics simulation techniques was used to study the aggregation pattern of surfactants at the oil-water interface and the interaction with oil and water. The results showed that compared to surfactant 1,surfactant 2 had more nonionic hydrophilic components and thus reducing surface tension was more effective. The critical surface tensions (γCMC) of surfactant 1 and surfactant 2 were 25.54 and 24.46 mN/m. At low concentration, both of the two nonionic surfactants have high water precipitation rate and poor emulsification effect, but at high concentration, the emulsification effect is better, and the lotion prepared with two nonionic surfactants has certain stability. The electrostatic potential distribution of surfactant molecules affects their hydrophilic and oleophilic properties.

The study of the environmental hazards of chemical gas pipeline rupture is of great significance to the design of explosion prevention measures and the development of emergency response programs. Taking a typical overhead gas pipeline as the research object, the environmental hazards of the whole process of natural gas leakage diffusion, jet fire, vapor cloud flash fire and explosion accident development were analyzed. The results show that when designing explosion-proof measures and formulating emergency plans, the explosion risk area should be calculated according to the low wind speed. Natural gas leakage mainly affects the chemical park B area, office buildings A, B, C, street stores A. The downwind direction of the occurrence of jet fire accident 8.7~76.1 m is a high-risk area, affecting the area of the chemical park B area, office buildings B and the street stores A. The area affected by the vapor cloud flash fire is Chemical Park B, Chemical Park A, Office Buildings A, B, C, D, Street Shops A, Residential Area A, the main road and the edge of the Science and Technology Park, so the area should be evacuated in advance of the fire. Natural gas explosion damage area is downwind -47.1~67.2 m, mainly affecting the chemical park B, chemical park A, office buildings B, street stores A, residential neighborhoods A.

Abstract1160)   HTML12)    PDF (2470KB)(1125)      

For the reaction of catalytic dehydrogenation of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde, current catalysts face the challenge of limited selectivity, particularly exhibiting poor performance in the efficient generation of acetaldehyde. Some catalysts are hindered in the dehydrogenation process due to excessive acidity, which urgently needs to be addressed. Therefore, the development of novel catalysts with high?performance surface basicity is crucial.Two composite catalysts, La2O2CO3/ZnO?a and La2O2CO3/ZnO?b, were prepared using the co?precipitation method and the solution combustion method. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated by varying preparation conditions such as precipitation pH, aging time, calcination temperature, and calcination time to determine the optimal synthesis parameters. Advanced characterization techniques, including Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X?ray Diffraction, and CO2 Temperature?Programmed Desorption, were employed to thoroughly investigate the catalyst's crystal phase, morphology, surface basicity, and their relationship with catalytic performance. The optimal process conditions for ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde were investigated on the best?performing catalyst. When the precipitation pH was 9.0, the aging time was 12.0 h, the ratio of nLa to nZn was 1.0, and the calcination temperature was 600 ℃, the optimal preparation conditions for the solution calcination method were determined as follows: calcination time of 5.0 h, calcination temperature of 550 ℃, and nLa/nZn of 1.0. Under the conditions of a volume space velocity of 1.0 h?1, a reaction pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a reaction temperature of 190 ℃, La?O?CO?/ZnO?a achieved the highest acetaldehyde yield of 57.60%.

Blending poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with poly(adipate?butylene terephthalate) (PBAT) was involved in the preparation of PPC/PBAT composites. However, the limited compatibility between the two materials hinders the potential performance enhancement of PPC/PBAT composites. To improve the compatibility between PPC and PBAT, maleic anhydride (MA) as a polar monomer and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl peroxy) hexane (DHBP) as an initiator were chosen for grafting onto PBAT to produce copolymer grafted Maleic anhydride (PBAT-g-MA).The interplay between PPC and PBAT-g-MA, as well as its impact on the properties of the blend, was thoroughly examined. The elongation at break of the blend was found to gradually increase with higher mass fraction of PBAT-g-MA. The elongation at break of PPC/PBAT-g-MA blends increased from 21.2% to 68.1%(60 and 40 are the quality scores of PPC and PBAT-g-MA, respectively). Studies have shown that when the PBAT-g-MA content is lower than that of PPC, PBAT-g-MA functions as a uniformly dispersed phase within the PPC matrix. The anhydride group present in the material can effectively react with the end groups of PPC, thereby significantly enhancing compatibility between both phases and promoting stress transfer at interface layers to improve the mechanical properties of blends.

Cu0.7Mn0.3Al2.5 ternary solid solution spinel catalysts were prepared by ball milling method using copper nitrate as the copper source, proposed thin alumina as the aluminium source, citric acid as the additive, and manganese acetate as the third component to partially replace copper. With the help of characterisation techniques such as XRD, BET, H2-TPR and XPS, the crystalline phase structure, weaving properties, reducing properties and surface cation states and distributions of Cu0.7Mn0.3Al2.5 were investigated. The catalytic performance of Cu0.7Mn0.3Al2.5 in methanol steam reforming (MSR) for hydrogen production with a sustained release feature was scrutinized, and a comparison was made with CuAl2.5 binary spinel and Cu0.7Zn0.3Al2.5 ternary spinel catalysts. The results showed that compared with CuAl2.5 and Cu0.7Zn0.3Al2.5, the Cu0.7Mn0.3Al2.5 exhibited the maximum contraction of the unit cell, resulting in a smaller unit cell constant. The catalyst had smaller crystalline size and higher specific surface area. The catalyst showed an aluminium-rich state, but with a higher percentage of Cu in the surface spinel phase, which made the reduction under H2 atmosphere more difficult, and exhibited a better slow-release catalytic performance in MSR hydrogen production. Under the conditions of a reaction temperature of 265 °C, n(H2O)/n(CH3OH) =2, and mass flow rate of 2.25 h-1, a stable conversion rate of 84% was achieved for 40 hours. The study provided valuable data reference for the development of efficient copper-based sustained-release catalysts.

Abstract1151)   HTML22)    PDF (4405KB)(1079)      

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered considerable attention as a viable option for large-scale energy storage,with O3-type layered transition metal oxides identified as one of the most promising cathode materials due to their superior specific capacity.However,the stability of these materials at elevated voltages remains a critical challenge,hindering their broader application.In this study,O3-NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 was systematically characterized using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and in-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD) to elucidate the relationship between microstructural evolution and electrochemical stability.The results reveal that phase transitions significantly impair Na? diffusion kinetics. Notably, the irreversible P3-O3' phase transition at high voltages above 4.1 V results in a reduction of the Na+ diffusion coefficient by at least five orders of magnitude,which is reflected by a substantial increase in internal resistance.Moreover,the O3' phase emerging during discharge triggers the formation of the P'3 phase,deviating it from the electrochemical pathway established during charging and thereby severely compromising the material’s cycling stability.

Transition metal sulfides are known for their high conductivity and theoretical lithium storage capacity,making them promising materials for phase change lithium storage.However,their cycling stability needs improvement.A simple electrostatic spinning method was used to prepare composites with in situ growth of cobalt-based zeolite imidazolite backbones(Co-ZIFs) on electrostatically spun fibers,and the stabilized structure of microzonated ZIFs was exploited to achieve spatially confined domains of metal particles in an N? heat treatment. Cobalt sulfide/carbon fiber composites (CoS/CFs) were then synthesized through a sulfidation reaction.X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the uniform distribution of CoS particles on the carbon nanofibers.The optimized composite showed excellent lithium storage performance,maintaining a specific capacity of 584.5 mA·h/g after 250 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g.This demonstrates outstanding cycling stability and suggests promising applications in lithium storage.
