For a better understanding of carbonation behaviors, the tube furnace heating system was built for simulating circulating fluidized bed boiler flue gas by regulating the supply of O, CO2, N2, SO2 and H2O, and Carbonation reaction was tested. Thermal gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used. It was found that carbonation is closely related to temperature, CO2 concentration, impurities, water vapor, and cycle times;high temperature can promote carbonation process;high concentration of CO2 can inhibit the chemical reaction stage speed of carbonation process, but it has little effect on the final conversion rate;water vapor can increase the final conversion rate of carbonation;the cycle times will reduce the activity of carbonation. The presence of carbonation turns the traditional boiler flue gas indirect desulfurization model into indirect desulfurization mechanism which does not have a negative impact on SO2 removal efficiency.展开更多

[Methods]With the human umbilical vein endothelial cells( HUVECs) cultured in vitro as the test target,the HUVECs were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control group; model group; low concentration CoQ10 group( 12. 5); medium concentration CoQ10 group( 25); high concentration CoQ10 group( 50). The CCK-8 method was used to test the cell viability,and the drug concentration was screened in 60 μM of CoQ 10 toxic concentration; the total protein was extracted and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of c-fos,c-jun and PON2; the RT-PCR method was used for determination of the content of c-fos,c-jun and PON2 mRNA. [Results]Compared with the normal group,the cell viability was significantly reduced in the 35 μg/m L high ox-LDL model group,and the cell injury was induced; compared with model group,after 12 h pre-protection,12. 5 μM,25 μM,50 μM CoQ10 could all significantly improve the survival of injured cells( P < 0. 05); compared with the normal group;the protein and mRNA levels of c-fos,c-jun,PON2 in the model group all declined; compared with the model group,the protein level and mRNA expression of c-fos,c-jun,PON2 in different CoQ10 groups increased to varying degrees( P < 0. 05). [Conclusions] CoQ 10 could reduce the HUVEC injury induced by high ox-LDL,and possible mechanism was achieved by upregulating the expression of AP-1 and PON2.展开更多
