Abstract: The recombinant Z.mobilis CX was constructed. Its ethanol concentration and ethanol yield from 2% xylose at 36 h were 6.73 g/L and 82.3% of theoretical yield, respectively. The recombinant S.cerevisiae YB was constructed and was showed to utilize cellobiose as the sole carbon source for rapid growth and ethanol production. The maximum ethanol concentration 7.493 g/L and ethanol yield 77.4% of theoretical yield from 2% cellobiose were obtained at 24 h. Further, the preliminary results of SSF of pretreated corn straw demonstrated the potential of improving ethanol production and reducing the costs of cellose enzymes used by co-fermentation of CX and YB.

Abstract: A novel approach for synthesis of CdS-intercalated nanocomposites was investigated by thermal decomposition of cadmium thiourea complex embedded in the interlayer of montmorillonite. XRD results indicated that the incorporation of CdS into the interlayer of montmorillonite led to expansion of the layer spacing. The diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectra showed that the absorption edge of nanocomposites of CdS and montmorillonite was blue-shifted as compared with pure CdS due to quantum size effect. The photoelectric performance of nanocomposites was evaluated by photocatalytic water-splitting for production of hydrogen and the nanocomposites displayed much higher photocatalytic activities of H2 production than that of pure CdS owing to the synergistic effects between CdS and montmorillonite. A probable photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

Abstract: Based on the depositional model and characteristics of fan delta, the short-term base-level cycle of the third submember of the third member of Shahejie Formation （Es33）in North region major oil layer of Liuzan Oilfield of Nanpu Sag is divided into three basic categories applying high-resolution sequence stratigraphy with the reference to core and logging data, namely, deepening-upward asymmetrical type, shallowing-upward asymmetrical type and symmetrical type. Different variation models for macroscopic heterogeneity of reservoir belonging to different categories of short-term base-level cycle were established in this paper; it was further pointed out that the changes of base-level and the ancient landform were major factors controlling the characteristic discrepancy of macroscopic heterogeneity of reservoir. In fan delta plain area, the ancient landform is smooth. Deepening-upward asymmetrical cycle is mainly composed of braided river sand body, and the changes of base-level exert little control on porosity with significant control on permeability. At the delta front slope, the landform becomes steep. Deepening-upward asymmetrical cycle is mainly composed of underwater distributary channel with genetic mechanism of gravity flow. The vertical variations of porosity and permeability inside the cycle are rather complicated. Since the physical properties are mainly manifested as the control on autogenic cycle, they do not directly influence the changes of base level.

Abstract: The strength of gravel soil of Yili’s First Mine in different water contents was studied by multifunction static and dynamic triaxial test machine. The results show that （1）The yield limit decreases with the increasing of water content under steady confining pressure, and the greater the confining pressure, the greater the yield point of its axial in the same moisture conditions. （2）The expansion becomes into contraction with increasing moisture content. （3）Strength index of gravel soil becomes smaller with the increase of moisture content. The relationship between friction angle and water contents is . And the relationship between cohesion (or bite force) and water contents is . The results provide a theoretical basis for shaft design and construction of Yili’s First Mine.

Abstract: The fuel spray images were taken with an equipment (camera-flash-injection) which has been synchronized with a purpose made electronic system under the condition of the high pressure common rail in two injection pressure has been expressed in this paper. It is discovered when fitting spray tip penetration that after jet breakup for a period of time, the spray tip begin to slow down rapidly, and the speed of spray tip running becomes smooth. Hiroyasu and other traditional tip penetration fitting formula are fitting larger to this phase. This is because that after jet breakup, the secondary breakup of striker particles will occur under the influence of the aerodynamic, surface tension and viscosity force. Therefore, a spray penetration fitting formula containing secondary breakup time to fit penetration in three sections was proposed in this paper. Results show that when pressure difference increase, both first and second breakup time become earlier. The former is because of gas-liquid relative velocity increasing, while the latter is due to high speed interface movement acceleration increasing.

Abstract: As the increasing proportion of photovoltaic power generation in power grid, the influence from grid photovoltaic power generation to power quality is more and more significant. This paper analyzes the reasons of voltage fluctuation, voltage flicker and harmonics aroused by the photovoltaic energy grid, and summarizes the effects to other power quality index from photovoltaic energy grid. Then it puts forward the improvement actions, which has certain directive significance to the grid planning on photovoltaic power generation.

Abstract: Thermogravimetric analyzer has been employed in this paper to test the combustion properties of four kinds of mixed biomass fuel with sludge, domestic waste, swill, coal and grass as major components. Combustion characteristic parameters were obtained through series of experiments, and burning activation energy was got by kinetic analysis. Research results show that ignition temperature of mixed biomass fuel was relatively low and the mixed biomass fuel could be burned easily. The calculated burnout characteristics index and combustion characteristic index showed that combustibility of sample A is the worst while sample D is the best among four materials. Combustion kinetics calculations about the four samples showed that average activation energies for A, B, C and D under the low and the high combustion temperature are 47.02 kJ/mol and 50.51 kJ/mol, 28.10 kJ/mol and 26.98 kJ/mol, 27.93 kJ/mol and 26.72 kJ/mol, and 23.26 kJ/mol and10.73 kJ/mol, respectively, which present the order of activity: D>C>B>A. Results indicated that sample D has the best component proportion which could easily break down and burn out. Furthermore, combustion characteristic index of mixed biomass depends on the proportion of components, where the lower proportion of domestic waste in mixture, the better combustion characteristic index of mixed biomass fuel.

Abstract: Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by microwave irradiation at 1000 w for 60 s. It is a novel adsorbent for Sn (Ⅱ) adsorption. This paper aims to investigate the effect of the adsorption of EG. The adsorption behavior of Sn (Ⅱ) from aqueous solution onto EG was investigated with variety of parameters such as pH, adsorbents dosage, initial Sn (Ⅱ) concentration, contact time and temperature. On conditions that the pH was 2.5, the dosage of adsorbent was 0.02 g, the concentration of Sn (Ⅱ) was 200 mg/L and the temperature was 15°C, the maximum removal rate can reach to 98.32%, and the adsorption quantity can reach to 245.7985 mg•g-1. The results showed that the EG was an efficient and novel adsorbent for the removal of stannum from aqueous solution.
