Abstract: Microtopography of fiber of Discorea nipponica Makino before and after mechanical activated by AGO-2 planetary mill was observed by SEM, and they changed the thick floccules to fine particles (D50 particle sizes were 10.18μm). Discorea fiber powder after mechanical activation had a narrow size distribution. According to XRD, the granularity and structures of discorea fiber with and without mechanical activation significantly differed, and the crystalline of discorea fiber was significantly converted into amorphous state after mechanical activation. On the basis of TG–DSC analysis, the activity of discorea fiber was enhanced, and certain internal energy were stored, and complete decomposition in advance. According to FT-IR, none of the functional groups of the mechanically activated discorea fiber disappeared, and no new functional groups appeared, which indicate that mechanical activation does not induce a chemical transformation of discorea fiber. According to the activation energy analysis, the thermal activation energy of dioscorea fiber after mechanical activation was18.49 kJ•mol, and the mechanical transfer activation energy was 56.06 kJ•mol, indicating that about 1/3 of the mechanical transfer activation energy was stored in the activated dioscorea fiber fine powder in the form of surface energy and internal energy.

Abstract: The optimum reaction conditions of D113 type ion exchange resin adsorption on Zn/Al ions and the microstructure of Zn/Al double metal oxide were researched with weight method and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that when Zn/Al molar ratio was 2:1, the number of moles per unit mass of resin adsorption was biggest and the microstructure was better; with the increase of pH value and temperature, the number of moles per unit mass of resin adsorption increased. When the PH value was 3.89, the microstructure of calcined product was best, and the effect of temperature on the calcined product microstructure was little. EDS data and XRD spectra indicated that there were two kinds of ZnO and Al₂O₃ products.

Abstract: The removal of phenol wastewater was experimentally investigated using a three-dimensional electrode reactor with granular activated carbon and titanium filter electrode arrays. The effects of the electric current, the residence time and the initial concentration on the phenol removal were evaluated. For the initial concentration of 490 mg/L, the phenol removal was obtained as 90% under the conditions of electric current 2 A, residence time 40 min. The effluent path of the electrochemical cell was optimized, using the anode effluent instead of the top effluent, where the phenol and COD removal was both increased to 95% and the corresponding energy consumption was decreased from 9.66 to 7.63 kWh/kg COD.

Abstract: Nano-ZnO, nano-TiO₂ and their mixed catalyst respectively degrade methyl orange solution with concentration 10mg/L in sunlight. When the dosing quantity is 1g/L during 8h degradation, the degradation effect is better and the degradation rates of three catalysts can all reach more than 93% with prolonging of degradation time, and the degradation effect of mixed catalyst is best and its degradation rate reaches more than 99%. Moreover the effect of TiO₂ content in the mixed catalyst on catalytic degradation isn’t distinct.

Abstract: The 001×7 type cation exchange resins modified by zinc ion which acted as controlled release suppliers of ions composing crystal reacted with sodium hydroxide, saturated calcium hydroxide and ammonia solution respectively, and nano-ZnO dispersive liquid was preparaed. The result of ultraviolet analyse about the dispersive liquid showed that nano-ZnO dispersive liquid prepared by using saturated calcium hydroxide has higher nano-crystallization degree and better dispersity. The exploring results of temperature and reactive time showed that under 60°C and 16 hours conditions nano-ZnO dispersive liquid has better dispersity and can’t agglomeration and sedimentation.
