Abstract: The Catalytic Wet Oxidation (CWO) method was investigated to treat phenol cleaning wastewater from chemical container which is difficult dispose with traditional biological methods. In this paper, high-efficiency catalysts were prepared, two methods were used to prepare the catalyst: impregnating, sol-gel. Effects of metal salts concentration, calcination temperature and calcination time on each catalysts performance were explored and optimal catalyst preparation condition was optimized. The results show that the optimum sol-gel condition: Cu / Mn / Ce ratio of 2:2:2, the calcination temperature is 700 °C, calcination time is 5h.; the optimum impregnating condition: Cu / Mn / Ce ratio of 2:2:2, impregnated carrier (AC) of 0.9g/L mixture, the calcination temperature is 300 °C, calcination time is 4h; the sol-gel catalyst has longer service life, the samples prepared by impregnating technique were more active than the samples prepared by sol-gel technique at given reaction conditions.

Abstract: Proper analysis of the original intergranular porosity loss of sedimentary strata is an important tool to gain insight into the influence of diagenetic processes on the quality of hydrocarbon reserviors. With emergence and progress of numerical technologies for simulating diagenetic processes in sedimenraty formations, the changes in the original porosity of reserviors attributed to more diagenetic processes (e.g. dissolution processes and the stabilization from one mineral to another one) can also be quantitatively evaluated. This paper proposed a set of formulas for the numerical computation of the loss in the original intergranular porosity of sandstone reserviors by compactional processes (COPL) and by intergranular cemention processes (CEPL), which consider the gain in the intergranular porosity by dissolution processes (DIPL). Theoretical analysis based on the measured data of sandstone samples shows that the real COPL will be obviously underestimated if the COPL computed by the traditional point-count method is far below CEPL and dissolution processes generated the additional porosity. Comparably, the real CEPL will only be slightly over-estimated. The deviation in COPL resulting from a DIPL of 5.0% lies in the range 0.75% ~ 2.10%, whereas the deviation in CEPL is in the range between 0.4 and 1.6%.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of packing form on the performance of electrodeionization (EDI) process for removal Ni2+ from synthetic wastewater. With feed water containing about 50mg•L^-1 Ni²⁺ at pH of 5.7, the dilute resistivity of the product stream with mixed bed and layered bed were in the range of 1.41-1.72MΩ•cm and 1.08-1.27MΩ•cm, respectively. The precipitation of metal hydroxide could be reduced effectively by using layered bed. With optimum operating conditions, the wastewater containing Ni2+ could be purified and be reused by EDI process.

Abstract: According to the characteristic of solar photovoltaic, this paper designed an electric supply mode, combined with the solar photovoltaic system, the storage battery and the public power supply, to drive a portable refrigerator which could use outdoor. The refrigerator is installed two individual refrigeration systems with two special arranged evaporators and wind route for storing beverages under the sunlight. Besides, the refrigerator electricity supply has three ways including utilizing solar energy with sun shining, taking advantage of the storage battery in night time and making use of the public power while the sunlight is unavailable. Various tests are carried out to examine the performance of the system. The voltages and currents which are generated by the solar cell and monitored on refrigerator have been studied. In addition, an analysis in power consumption of the system is realized. The results indicated that the refrigerator could run normally and indeed satisfy the request in beverage cooling and storage.

Abstract: Energy saving and environment protection are two important issues that today’s automobile industry must emphasize. Lots of heat energy waste with the exhaust gas when the engine is running. If this part of waste heat can be recovered, the energy efficiency will be improved. Thus plenty of energy can be saved and the global warming also can be reduced. In this paper, the organic Rankine cycle whose working fluid was R245fa was studied. It was adopted to recover the gasoline engine waste heat. The mathematical model of the organic Rankine cycle was built up in Matlab to search the optimized working condition. The pinch analysis method was used to analyze the outlet temperature of the exhaust gas. The results indicate that organic Rankine cycle is a good way to recover the gasoline engine waste heat, especially in the high load conditions. The temperature of the exhaust gas can be apparently decreased.

Abstract: For the single-track railway concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridge, since restrictions of the bridge width will inevitably lead to a relatively smaller ratio of width to span using long span.The stability is a very prominent issue in design and construction. Taking a 136m span through concrete filled steel tube tied-arch bridge as an object, considering the influence of geometric and material nonlinearity of arch rib, its space stability analysis of the whole bridge is made using finite element program. Its stability factor and the instabil-ity mode are given under the most unfavourable load condition. Instability of the structure is mainly shown in out-plane instability of arch rib. Elastic buckling factor is greater than the general requirement, which satisfies the requirement of the bridge elastic stability. The effect of geometric nonlinearity on stability of the bridge is smaller while the effect of material nonlinearity is greater, which should be considered in the stability analysis of long span arch bridge. After the arch ribs are progressively loaded, the ultimate loads of the arch ribs are obtained. Effects and variation law of transverse brace layout, arch rib inclination angle and ratio of height to span of the arch to the stability of this bridge are revealed.

Abstract: The effects of spark advance angle on combustion and emission characteristics of a compressed natural gas engine have been investigated experimentally in this paper. The experimental data was conducted under various excessive air coefficient conditions using an electronic ignition system developed self-dependently. The results show that the peak cylinder pressure and peak rate of pressure rise ascends with the increase of spark advance angle in a certain extent, and their corresponding location are advanced. The CO emission keeps almost the same as the spark advance angle varies in the overall mode range. The HC and NOx emissions ascend with the increase of spark advance angle under the condition that excessive air coefficient is near the theoretical value. Under the lean-burn condition, the HC and NOx emissions are almost the same while the spark advance angle varies.

The application of those techniques in the practical projects was compared, which afford us reference for development and broader application of techniques.

Abstract: Based on mechanical properties of railway extradosed cable-stayed bridge with the rigid continuous beam system in the high-intensity earthquake zone, three kinds of scheme on seismic response reduction including viscous dampers, lock-up device and friction sliding bearings is presented in the text and effectiveness of seismic response reduction is analyzed by using non-linear time history response analysis . The results show that three types of isolation devices are significantly effective for improving seismic performance of the railway extradosed cable-stayed bridge. Seismic response reduction of viscous damper and Lock-up device is better, that of friction sliding bearing is second. but the type of viscous dampers is most optimal considering from normal use for structure and distribution of the seismic response in the structural system.
