The metal oxide precursor molecules around P123 micellized, and self-assembly simultaneously occurred during evaporation from an ethanol solution at 60 °C, leading to the formation of the p6 mm hexagonal symmetry mesoporous structure. Characterization results prove that the Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents possess an ordered mesoporous structure with high thermal stability, large surface area（386–226 m2/g）, large pore volume（0.60–0.46 cm3/g）, and good dispersion of ZnO and Cu, which is beneficial for transforming S-compounds to ZnO. The sulfur saturation capacity of the ordered-mesoporous-structure Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents is larger（49.4 mg/g） than that of the unordered mesoporous structure（13.5 mg/g）.展开更多

In this paper, thermal simulation experiments on the reaction of CH4-CaSO4 were carried out using an autoclave at high temperatures and high pressures.

Based on the experimental results, the carbon kinetic isotope fractionation was investigated, and the value of Ki (kinetic isotope effect) was calculated. The results obtained in this paper can provide useful information to explain the occurrence of H2S in deep carbonate gas reservoirs.展开更多

The results show that Fe2Cl7 and FeCl4 ions are the principal anions in acidic ionic liquids, - - whose concentrations change with the content of FeCl3 and an equilibrium exists between them. An isosbestic point existing in FT-IR spectra indicates that an interaction involving at least two species occurs and their concentrations vary with acidity. Chemical shifts of the hydrogen located in the cations of ionic liquids are sensitive to the composition of ionic liquids. The change in chemical shifts may be explained in terms of anion-cation interactions. The chemical shifts of 2-H are affected by metal halides, which shift downfield and the 2-H is more deshielded with the increase in metal halides.展开更多

The activity of the bare supporters and supported catalysts were evaluated in a continuous micro-reactivity test unit, with n-butane as a raw material.

The isomerization and aromatization properties were investigated with an microreactor using n-octane as a feedstock. NiW/HSAPO-11 shows a high hydroconversion activity of n-octane, and the optimum operating parameters for the catalyst to produce high octane number products were: 400℃, 2.0MPa, VH2:Vn-octane= 400:1, liquid hourly space velocity LHSV=1.0h-1. Under the optimum reaction condition, the conversion efficiency, C5 liquid + product selectivity, isomerization and aromatization product selectivity were 69.80%, 56.95%, 79.73% and 1.29% respectively.

In this paper, the adsorption property of the MDFF agent, MD-1, on quartz sand has been studied through adsorption experiments at different pH and temperatures. Experimental data are also analyzed kinetically and thermodynamically. The results show that the adsorption of MD-1 on quartz sand takes place mainly because of electrostatic interactions, which corresponds to adsorption that increases with pH. Kinetic analyses show that at a higher pH the activation energy for adsorption gets lower and, therefore, the adsorption becomes quicker for MD-1 on quartz sand. Thermodynamic analyses show that pH plays an important role in the adsorption of MD-1 on quartz sand. At a higher pH, more negative surface charges result in the increase of electrostatic interactions between MD-1 and quartz sand. Therefore, the saturated adsorption amount increases and more adsorption heat will be released.展开更多

The effects of the preparation conditions of electrodes, electrolyte acidity, the concentration of benzene and water vapor, and the flow rate of N2 are investigated by evaluating the efficiency of the current. Furthermore, the optimal operational conditions have been ascertained. The results of our experiment show that gas diffusion electrodes have good performance when the content of PTFE is 10% (wt) and that of Nafion is 0.75mg/cm2. The optimal operational conditions are as follows: The temperature of electrolysis is 70℃, acidity 0.5mol/L, the concentration of benzene 26%, the concentration of vapor 10%, the flow rate of N2 80mL/min-240mL/min. The efficiency of the current can reach 35% under optimal operational conditions. Then, a conclusion can be drawn that gas diffusion electrodes can improve the rate of the coupled reaction effectively.展开更多

Activated carbon support, γ-AlgO3 support and supported CoMo catalysts are also subjected to studies for comparison. It was found that sulfide state CoMoS/MWCNT, CoMoS/AC and CoMoS/γ-Al2O3 catalysts adsorbed much more DBT molecules than their corresponding oxide state catalysts, as well as their corresponding supports. The chemically adsorbed DBT aromatic molecules did not undergo decomposition on the surface of supports, supported oxide state CoMo catalysts and sulfide state CoMo catalysts when out-gassing at 373 K. FT-IR results indicated that DBT molecules mainly stand upright on the active sites (acid sites and/or transition active phases) of CoMoS/MWCNT catalyst. However, DBT aromatic molecules mainly lie flat on MWCNT and CoMoO/MWCNT.展开更多

In this paper, a coupled furnace-reactor mathematical model based on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is developed to simulate the complex fluid dynamics phenomena in the thermal cracking furnace. The model includes mass transfer, momentum transfer, and heat transfer, as well as thermal cracking reactions, fuel combustion and radiative heat transfer. The rationality and reliability of the mathematical model is confirmed by the approximate agreement of predicted data and industrial data. The coupled furnace-reactor simulation revealed the details of both the transfer and reaction processes taking place in the thermal cracking furnace. The results indicate highly nonuniform distribution of the flue-gas velocity, concentration and temperature in the furnace, which cause nonuniform distribution of tube skin temperature and heat flux of the reactor tubes. Profiles of oil-gas velocity, pressure, temperature and product yields in the lengthwise direction of the reactor tube are obtained. Furthermore, in the radial direction steep velocity and temperature gradients and relatively slight gradients of species concentration are found. In conclusion, the model can provide more information on the fluid dynamics and reaction behavior in the thermal cracking furnace, and guidance for the design and improvement of thermal cracking furnaces.展开更多

In the paper, monodisperse particles of silica/polystyrene (PS) are prepared with both dispersion and emulsion polymerization techniques. The monodisperse silicon dioxide particles are first prepared with the seed growth method and modified by the coupling agents. Silica is properly modified with KH-570, and its size deviation is 3.0% or so. The modified silica then reacts with the mixture of ethanol, water medium, and monomer of styrene under dispersion polymerization. Results show that the dispersion polymerization technique is more suitable for monodisperse core-shell SiO2/PS particles than that of the emulsion. The morphology and molecular structure of the core-shell particles are investigated with the transmission electron microscope (TEM), and fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the modified silica particles are successfully encapsulated with polystyrene. The average number of silica particles encapsulated into each polystyrene sphere decreases when the size of silica particles increases from 50 nm to 600 nm, and will approach one when the silica is greater than 380nm in size. The mass ratio for silica/PS particles in emulsion polymerization is 4.7/1, lower than that of 6.8/1 for dispersion polymerization, which is the first reported optimized data for preparing the similar monodisperse composite particles. Thus, the PS shell in the former is thinner than that in the latter.展开更多

Experimental results indicate that the sequence of chain transfer constants in solvents is: carbon tetrachloride>chloroform>methylbenzene>tetrachloroethane in the polymerization of octadecyl acrylate. Influences of four solvents on solubility of polyoctadecyl acrylate prove not the same. In chloroform, polyoctadecyl acrylate shows the highest relative viscosity and the lowest chain termination rate constant. In higher conversion, the average relative molecular weight of polyoctadecyl acrylate depends mainly on the chain transfer constant of the solvent. Under the circumstance of monomer conversion higher than 30%, the viscosity effect induced by polymeric molecular shape in the solvents have a strong influence on the relative molecular weight of the polymer obtained.展开更多

Typically, humic material is the major component of TIOM. It provides sites for adsorption and chemical fixation of bitumen. This bound bitumen is “unliberated”, and considerable mechanical or chemical energy may be required to release it. In order to establish a correlation between bitumen recovery and ORS content, a few selected oil sands were processed in a Batch Extraction Unit (BEU). Analysis of the middlings and coarse tailings streams from these tests indicated a relatively constant bitumen to ORS ratio of 2.8±0.7. This value allows the liberated-unliberated bitumen balance (LUBB) to be calculated for any given oil sands. The amounts of bitumen recovered as primary froth during the BEU experiments are close to the estimated liberated bitumen contents in each case tested. This observation indicates that the liberated-unliberated bitumen calculation is an important quantitative parameter for prediction of bitumen recovery under specific recovery conditions. Preliminary results indicate that the ORS content of an oil sands may be estimated from the carbon content of bitumen free oil sands solids.展开更多

文摘To enhance sulfur adsorption and reactive activity, ordered mesoporous Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents were prepared by a novel one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy using P123 as a structure-directing agent and ethanol as the solvent for reactive adsorption desulfurization. The metal oxide precursor molecules around P123 micellized, and self-assembly simultaneously occurred during evaporation from an ethanol solution at 60 °C, leading to the formation of the p6 mm hexagonal symmetry mesoporous structure.

This observation indicates that the liberated-unliberated bitumen calculation is an important quantitative parameter for prediction of bitumen recovery under specific recovery conditions. Preliminary results indicate that the ORS content of an oil sands may be estimated from the carbon content of bitumen free oil sands solids.
