[Method] Boiler slag was used as an adsorbent in the single-grade adsorption process to dispose the rural domestic sewage. During the course, phosphorus adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, adsorption operating curve and the minimum boiler slag dosage were analyzed and calculated. [Result] Langmuir adsorption isotherm could be applied to describe the absorption of phosphorus with boiler slag, and the absorption kinetics was confirmed with the pseudo second-order equation. The maximum absorption quantity and the initial absorption rate increased with the rise of temperature, reaching up to 0.159 1 mg/g and 0.169 8 mg/(g·min) respectively at 40 ℃. Thermodynamic variables ΔG0<0 and ΔH0>0 indicated that the entire process was a spontaneous endothermic reaction, and high temperature would facilitate the reaction of absorption. In the single grade adsorption, the minimum adsorbent dosage decreased as the temperature rose; at 40 ℃ the optimum mass ratio of boiler slag to wastewater was 3.31 kg/m3. [Conclusion] The adsorption process with boiler slag as adsorbent is an economical and effective approach for treating rural domestic sewage.展开更多

However, many problems such as cracks and differential settlement still occur in loess roads in the seasonally frozen ground regions after several years of op- eration. Many studies have demonstrated that these secondary or multiple collapses primarily result from the repeated freezing-thawing, wetting-drying, and salinization-desalinization cycles. Therefore, we conducted a research program to （1） monitor the in-situ ground temperatures and water content in certain loess roads to understand their changes, （2） study the effects of freezing-thawing, wetting-drying, and salinization-desalinization cycles on geotechnical properties and micro-fabrics of compacted loess in the laboratory, and （3） develop mitigative measures and examine their engineered effectiveness, i.e., their thermal insulating and water-proofing effects in field and laboratory tests. Our results and advances are reviewed and some further research needs are proposed. These findings more clearly explain the processes and mechanisms of secondary and multiple collapse of loess roads. We also offer references for further study of the weakening mechanisms of similar structural soils.展开更多

In thermodynamic study, adsorption isotherm and free energy change (⊿G°) were detected and calculated, respectively. Influence of ionic strength on adsorbance was investigated. Kinetic studies were carried out with a series of XO concentration under different temperatures, and the data were simulated with pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic model, respectively. Results illustrate: adsorption of EG for XO is a spontaneous process, and adsorption isotherm is type II;equilibrium adsorbance increases with the increase of ionic strength. Kinetic studies show that the kinetic data can be delineated by pseudo second-order kinetic model. Initial adsorption rate increases with the increase of temperature. Adsorption activation energy is less than 20 kJ/mol;physical adsorption is the major mode of the overall adsorption process.展开更多
