Therefore, this study aims to utilize ultrasonic-cured modified municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI) fly ash for Cu(Ⅱ) adsorption to achieve the purpose of “treating waste by waste.” The effects of p H, adsorption time, initial concentration, and temperature on the modified MSWI fly ash’s adsorption efficiency were systematically studied in this article. The adsorption performance of the modified MSWI fly ash can be enhanced by the ultrasonic modification. At pH = 2, 3 and 4, the adsorption capacity of the modified MSWI fly ash for Cu(Ⅱ) increased by 2.7, 1.9 and 1.2 times, respectively. Furthermore, it was suggested that the adsorption process of the modified MSWI fly ash can be better simulated by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model of 24.196 mg.g-1. Additionally, the adsorption process is spontaneous,endothermic, and chemisorption-dominated from the thermodynamic studies(ΔH and ΔS > 0, ΔG < 0).Finally, the enhanced adsorption performance of the modified MSWI fly ash for Cu(Ⅱ) may be attributed to electrostatic interaction and chelation effects.展开更多

The drying kinetics, micro structure, chemical functional groups, re-adsorption properties, and pyrolysis characteristics of the dried coal were respectively analyzed. Results indicated that for typical Chinese lignite studied in this paper, 915 MHz microwave drying was 7.8 times faster than that of the hot air drying. After industrial microwave drying, the sample possessed much higher total specific surface area and specific pore volume than that of air dried sample. The oxygen functional groups and re-adsorption ratio of microwave irradiated coal decreased, showing weakened hydrophilicity. Moreover, during the pyrolysis of the coal dried by hot air and microwave, the yield of tar largely increased from 1.3% to 8.5% and the gas production increased correspondingly. The composition of the tar was also furtherly analyzed, results indicated that Miscellaneous hydrocarbons(HCs) were the main component of the tar, and microwave irradiation can reduce the fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) from 26.4% to 22.7%.展开更多

Rational optimization of electrode–electrolyte interactions is of vital importance to enhance device performance for practical applications. Molecular dynamics(MD) simulations could provide theoretical guidelines for the optimal design of electrodes and the improvement of capacitive performances, e.g., energy density and power density. Here we discuss recent MD simulation studies on energy storage performance of electrode materials containing porous to nanostructures. The energy storage properties are related to the electrode structures, including electrode geometry and electrode modifications. Altering electrode geometry, i.e., pore size and surface topography,can influence EDL capacitance. We critically examine different types of electrode modifications, such as altering the arrangement of carbon atoms, doping heteroatoms and defects, which can change the quantum capacitance. The enhancement of power density can be achieved by the intensified ion dynamics and shortened ion pathway.Rational control of the electrode morphology helps improve the ion dynamics by decreasing the ion diffusion pathway. Tuning the surface properties(e.g., the affinity between the electrode and the ions) can affect the ionpacking phenomena. Our critical analysis helps enhance the energy and power densities of EDLCs by modulating the corresponding electrode structures and surface properties.展开更多

He underwent tumor resection and reconstruction of the eyelid. By histopathology, tumor cells showed an admixture of epidermoid and mucus-secreting cells, which was consistent with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignant tumor of the salivary glands, but rare in the eye tissues among which conjunctiva and lacrimal gland are most commonly involved. It has a higher degree of malignancy than basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It displays an unusual capacity of aggressive local invasion and recurs easily after simple excision and tumors may require enucleation or exenteration because of the involvement of the intraocular structures and/or orbit.Frequent follow-up is necessary for the patient after operation.Conclusions: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the eye is rare and has a high degree of malignancy. It should be differentiated from other neoplasms such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.展开更多

The external antenna voltage and current increase with the augment of RF power, whereas decline with the enhancement of gas pressure and flow rate conversely.Compared with gas flow rate and pressure, the power transfer efficiency is significantly improved by RF power, and achieved its maximum value of 0.85 after RF power injected excess125 W. Optical emission spectroscopy(OES) provides the local mean values of electron excited temperature and electron density in inductively coupled plasma(ICP) post regime, which vary in a range of 0.81 eV to 1.15 eV and 3.7×10^(16)m^(-3)to 8.7×10^(17)m^(-3)respectively. Numerical results of the average magnitudes of electron temperature and electron density in twodimensional distribution exhibit similar variation trend with the experimental results under different operating condition by using COMSOL Multiphysics. By comprehensively understanding the characteristics in a low pressure ICP, optimized operating conditions could be anticipated aiming at different academic and industrial applications.展开更多

The basic physical properties ...One-step controllable synthesis of vertical graphene nanosheets (VGs) and high-value gases was achieved using inductively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ICPECVD). The basic physical properties of the ICPECVD process were revealed via electrical diagnosis and optical emission spectroscopy. The coil current and voltage increased linearly with the augmenting of injected power, and CH, C2, H2 and H were detected at a wavelength from 300 to 700 nm, implying the generation of abundant graphene-building species. The morphology and structure of solid carbon products, graphene nanosheets, were systemically characterized in terms of the variations of operating conditions, such as pressure, temperature, gas proportion, etc. The results indicated that an appropriate operating condition was indispensable for the growth process of graphene nanosheets. In the present work, the optimized result was achieved at the pressure, heating temperature, applied power and gas proportion of 600 mTorr, 800 ~C, 500 W and 20:20:15, respectively, and the augmenting of both CH4 and H2 concentrations had a positive effect on the etching of amorphous carbon. Additionally, H2 and C2 hydrocarbons were detected as the main exhaust gases. The selectivity of H2 and C2H2, measured in exhaust gases, reached up to 52% and 8%, respectively, which implied a process of free radical reactions and electron collision dissociation. Based on a comprehensive investigation of spectral and electrical parameters and synthesized products, the reaction mechanism of collision, dissociation, diffusion, etc, in ICPECVD could be speculated, providing a probable guide for experimental and industrial applications.展开更多

文摘In this work,microwave treatment was introduced to a hydrothermal treatment process to degrade PCDD/Fs(Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans)in municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI)fly ash.Three process additives(NaOH,Na2 HPO4,H2 O),temperatures(150℃,185℃,220℃)and reaction times(1 h,2 h,3 h)were investigated to identify their effect on the disposal of fly ash samples through orthogonal experiments.High-resolution gas chromatography–mass spectrometry(HRGC/MS)was applied to determine the PCDD/F concentrations in MSWI fly ash.The experimental results revealed that 83.7%of total PCDD/Fs was degraded.Reaction temperature was the most important factor for the degradation of the total PCDD/Fs.Both direct destruction and chlorination reactions(the chlorination degree of PCDFs increased)took part in the degradation of PCDD/Fs in fly ash,which was a new discovery.Several PCDD/F indexes determined by the concentration of indicative congeners were found to quantitatively characterize the dioxin toxicity of the fly ash.Furthermore,heavy metals in the fly ash sample were solidified using microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment,which provided an experimental basis for the simultaneous disposal of dioxins and heavy metals.Thus,the microwave-assisted hydrothermal process should be considered for the future disposal of MSWI fly ash.

文摘The surface functional groups and pyrolysis characteristics of lignite irradiated by microwave were comparatively studied to evaluate the feasibility of using industrial 915 MHz for lignite drying. The drying kinetics, micro structure, chemical functional groups, re-adsorption properties, and pyrolysis characteristics of the dried coal were respectively analyzed. Results indicated that for typical Chinese lignite studied in this paper, 915 MHz microwave drying was 7.8 times faster than that of the hot air drying. After industrial microwave drying, the sample possessed much higher total specific surface area and specific pore volume than that of air dried sample. The oxygen functional groups and re-adsorption ratio of microwave irradiated coal decreased, showing weakened hydrophilicity. Moreover, during the pyrolysis of the coal dried by hot air and microwave, the yield of tar largely increased from 1.3% to 8.5% and the gas production increased correspondingly. The composition of the tar was also furtherly analyzed, results indicated that Miscellaneous hydrocarbons(HCs) were the main component of the tar, and microwave irradiation can reduce the fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) from 26.4% to 22.7%.

文摘Photothermal membrane distillation(MD)is a promising technology for desalination and water purification.However,solar-thermal conversion suffers from low energy efficiency(a typical solar-water efficiency of ~50%),while complex modifications are needed to reduce membrane fouling.Here,we demonstrate a new concept of solar vapour gap membrane distillation(SVGMD)synergistically combining self-guided water transport,localized heating,and separation of membrane from feed solution.A free-standing,multifunctional light absorber based on graphene array is custom-designed to locally heat the thin water layer transporting through graphene nanochannels.The as-generated vapour passes through a gap and condenses,while salt/contaminants are rejected before reaching the membrane.The high solar-water efficiency(73.4% at 1 sun),clean water collection ratio(82.3%),excellent anti-fouling performance,and stable permeate flux in continuous operation over 72 h are simultaneously achieved.Meanwhile,SVGMD inherits the advantage of MD in microorganism removal and water collection,enabling the solar-water efficiency 3.5 times higher compared to state-of-the-art solar vapour systems.A scaled system to treat oil/seawater mixtures under natural sunlight is developed with a purified water yield of 92.8 kg m-2 day-1.Our results can be applied for diverse mixed-phase feeds,leading to the next-generation solar-driven MD technology.

文摘Electric double-layer capacitors(EDLCs) are advanced electrochemical devices for energy storage and have attracted strong interest due to their outstanding properties. Rational optimization of electrode–electrolyte interactions is of vital importance to enhance device performance for practical applications. Molecular dynamics(MD) simulations could provide theoretical guidelines for the optimal design of electrodes and the improvement of capacitive performances, e.g., energy density and power density. Here we discuss recent MD simulation studies on energy storage performance of electrode materials containing porous to nanostructures. The energy storage properties are related to the electrode structures, including electrode geometry and electrode modifications. Altering electrode geometry, i.e., pore size and surface topography,can influence EDL capacitance. We critically examine different types of electrode modifications, such as altering the arrangement of carbon atoms, doping heteroatoms and defects, which can change the quantum capacitance. The enhancement of power density can be achieved by the intensified ion dynamics and shortened ion pathway.Rational control of the electrode morphology helps improve the ion dynamics by decreasing the ion diffusion pathway. Tuning the surface properties(e.g., the affinity between the electrode and the ions) can affect the ionpacking phenomena. Our critical analysis helps enhance the energy and power densities of EDLCs by modulating the corresponding electrode structures and surface properties.

文摘Porous carbon nanofibers(PCNFs)with rich functionalities and high surface areas are important electrode scaffolds to load active materials,but increasing their pore volumes and strength simultaneously is a challenge.Here,we report a scalable method to fabricate B-F-N triply doped PCNF cages with high porosity of greater than 92.8%and small bending stiffness of 10 mN by electrospinning the mixed sol of poly(tetrafluoroethylene),poly(vinyl alcohol),boric acid,and carbon nanotubes(CNTs)followed by pyrolysis.The macromicro dual-phase separation creates well-controlled macropores(>60 nm)and meso-micropores with large pore volumes(0.55 cm3/g)on carbon nanofibers,while the interior CNTs can cushion the applied stress and render the PCNF films with superior flexibility.Fabricated symmetrical supercapacitors with the PCNF cages exhibit high gravimetric capacitance of 164 F/g at 20 mV/s and 92.5%capacity retention after 20000 cycles at 2 A/g.The reported approach allows the green synthesis of a new PCNF scaffold material with properties appealing for applications.

文摘Highly thermo-conductive aqueous medium is a crucial premise to demonstrate high-performance thermal-related applications.Graphene has the diamond comparable thermal conductivity,while the intrinsic two-dimensional reality will result in strong anisotropic thermal conductivity and wrinkles or even crumples that significantly sacrifices its inherent properties in practical applications.One strategy to overcome this is to use three-dimensional(3D)architecture of graphene.Herein,3D graphene structure with covalent-bonding nanofins(3D-GS-CBF)is proposed,which is then used as the filler to demonstrate effective aqueous medium.The thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity enhancement efficiency of 3D-GS-CBF(0.26 vol%)aqueous medium can be as high as 2.61 W m-1 K-1 and 1300%,respectively,around six times larger than highest value of the existed aqueous mediums.Meanwhile,3D-GS-CBF can be stable in the solution even after 6 months,addressing the instability issues of conventional graphene networks.A multiscale modeling including non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and heat conduction model is applied to interpret experimental results.3D-GS-CBF aqueous medium can largely improve the solar vapor evaporation rate(by 1.5 times)that are even comparable to the interfacial heating system;meanwhile,its cooling performance is also superior to commercial coolant in thermal management applications.
文摘Purpose: To report the clinical features, therapeutic method, and histopathological findings of a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the lower eyelid and review the literature about the mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the eye.Methods: Case report and review of the literature.Results: An 88-year-old man developed a painless, indurated nodule in the left lower eyelid for two years and ulceration of the skin existed for a year. He underwent tumor resection and reconstruction of the eyelid. By histopathology, tumor cells showed an admixture of epidermoid and mucus-secreting cells, which was consistent with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignant tumor of the salivary glands, but rare in the eye tissues among which conjunctiva and lacrimal gland are most commonly involved. It has a higher degree of malignancy than basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It displays an unusual capacity of aggressive local invasion and recurs easily after simple excision and tumors may require enucleation or exenteration because of the involvement of the intraocular structures and/or orbit.Frequent follow-up is necessary for the patient after operation.Conclusions: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the eye is rare and has a high degree of malignancy. It should be differentiated from other neoplasms such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

文摘The electrical and plasma parameters of a low pressure inductively coupled argon plasma are investigated over a wide range of parameters(RF power, flow rate and pressure) by diverse characterizations. The external antenna voltage and current increase with the augment of RF power, whereas decline with the enhancement of gas pressure and flow rate conversely.Compared with gas flow rate and pressure, the power transfer efficiency is significantly improved by RF power, and achieved its maximum value of 0.85 after RF power injected excess125 W. Optical emission spectroscopy(OES) provides the local mean values of electron excited temperature and electron density in inductively coupled plasma(ICP) post regime, which vary in a range of 0.81 eV to 1.15 eV and 3.7×10^(16)m^(-3)to 8.7×10^(17)m^(-3)respectively. Numerical results of the average magnitudes of electron temperature and electron density in twodimensional distribution exhibit similar variation trend with the experimental results under different operating condition by using COMSOL Multiphysics. By comprehensively understanding the characteristics in a low pressure ICP, optimized operating conditions could be anticipated aiming at different academic and industrial applications.

文摘The use of atmospheric rotating gliding arc(RGA)plasma is proposed as a facile,scalable and catalyst-free approach to synthesizing hydrogen(H2)and graphene sheets from coalbed methane(CBM).CH4 is used as a CBM surrogate.Based on a previous investigation of discharge properties,product distribution and energy efficiency,the operating parameters such as CH4 concentration,applied voltage and gas flow rate can effectively affect the CH4 conversion rate,the selectivity of H2 and the properties of solid generated carbon.Nevertheless,the basic properties of RGA plasma and its role in CH4 conversion are scarcely mentioned.In the present work,a 3D RGA model,with a detailed nonequilibrium CH4/Ar plasma chemistry,is developed to validate the previous experiments on CBM conversion,aiming in particular at the distribution of H2 and other gas products.Our results demonstrate that the dynamics of RGA is derived from the joint effects of electron convection,electron migration and electron diffusion,and is prominently determined by the variation of the gas flow rate and applied voltage.Subsequently,a combined experimental and chemical kinetical simulation is performed to analyze the selectivity of gas products in an RGA reaction,taking into consideration the formation and loss pathways of crucial targeted substances(such as CH4,C2H2,H2 and H radicals)and corresponding contribution rates.Additionally,the effects of operating conditions on the properties of solid products are investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and Raman spectroscopy.The results show that increasing the applied voltage and decreasing CH4 concentration will change the solid carbon from its initial spherical structure into folded multilayer graphene sheets,while the size of the graphene sheets is slightly affected by the change in gas flow rate.

文摘One-step controllable synthesis of vertical graphene nanosheets (VGs) and high-value gases was achieved using inductively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ICPECVD). The basic physical properties of the ICPECVD process were revealed via electrical diagnosis and optical emission spectroscopy. The coil current and voltage increased linearly with the augmenting of injected power, and CH, C2, H2 and H were detected at a wavelength from 300 to 700 nm, implying the generation of abundant graphene-building species. The morphology and structure of solid carbon products, graphene nanosheets, were systemically characterized in terms of the variations of operating conditions, such as pressure, temperature, gas proportion, etc. The results indicated that an appropriate operating condition was indispensable for the growth process of graphene nanosheets. In the present work, the optimized result was achieved at the pressure, heating temperature, applied power and gas proportion of 600 mTorr, 800 ~C, 500 W and 20:20:15, respectively, and the augmenting of both CH4 and H2 concentrations had a positive effect on the etching of amorphous carbon. Additionally, H2 and C2 hydrocarbons were detected as the main exhaust gases. The selectivity of H2 and C2H2, measured in exhaust gases, reached up to 52% and 8%, respectively, which implied a process of free radical reactions and electron collision dissociation. Based on a comprehensive investigation of spectral and electrical parameters and synthesized products, the reaction mechanism of collision, dissociation, diffusion, etc, in ICPECVD could be speculated, providing a probable guide for experimental and industrial applications.
文摘A facile and controllable one-step method to treat liquid hydrocarbons and synthesize vertical graphene nanowalls has been developed by using the technique of inductively-coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition for plasma cracking of n-dodecane.Herein,the morphology and microstructure of solid carbon material and graphene nanowalls are characterized in terms of different operating conditions,i.e.input power,H2/Ar ratio,injection rate and reaction temperature.The results reveal that the optimal operating conditions were 500 W,5:10,30μl min^-1 and 800℃ for the input power,H2/Ar ratio,injection rate and reaction temperature,respectively.In addition,the degree of graphitization and the gaseous product are analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and gas chromatography detection.It can be calculated from the Raman spectrum that the relative intensity of ID/IG is approximately 1.55,and I2D/IG is approximately 0.48,indicating that the graphene prepared from n-dodecane has a rich defect structure and a high degree of graphitization.By calculating the mass loading and detecting the outlet gas,we find that the cracking rate of n-dodecane is only 6%-7%and that the gaseous products below C2 mainly include CH4,C2H2,C2H4,C2H6 and H2.Among them,the proportion of hydrogen in the outlet gas of n-dodecane cracking ranges from 1.3%-15.1%under different hydrogen flows.Based on our research,we propose a brand new perspective for both liquid hydrocarbon treatment and other value-added product syntheses.

文摘The Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)raw data generator is required to the evaluation of focusing algorithms,moving target analysis,and hardware design.The time-domain SAR simulator can generate the accurate raw data but it needs much time.The frequency-domain simulator not only increases the efficiency but also considers the trajectory deviations of the radar.In addition,the raw signal of the extended scene included static and moving targets can be generated by some frequency-domain simulators.However,the existing simulators concentrate on the raw signal simulation of the static extended scene and moving targets at uniform speed mostly.As for the issue,the two-dimensional signal spectrum of moving targets with constant acceleration can be derived accurately based on the geometric model of a side-looking SAR and reversion of series.And a frequency-domain algorithm for SAR echo signal simulation is presented based on the two-dimensional signal spectrum.The raw data generated with proposed method is verified by several simulation experiments.In addition to reveal the efficiency of the presented frequency-domain SAR scene simulator,the computational complexity of the proposed method is compared with the time-domain approach using the complex multiplication.Numerical results demonstrate that the present method can reduce the computational time significantly without accuracy loss while simulating SAR raw data.
