Therefore, the search for low cost and large adsorption quantity of ecological wastewater treatment materials becomes a research focus [3-6].
Hydrogels is a composite system composed of solvent and polymer network, its excellent hydration swelling capacity lead to a wide range of applications in industry, agriculture, biology and materials and other fields [11].
Experimental Procedure Materials.
So the PAA/ATP composite hydrogels can be reused as a kind of good adsorption materials for removal of heavy metal in wastewater.

Input index mainly includes material and human resource input.
The key lies in the establishment of investment, basic yearly capital stock and depreciation rate in the same year.
Material capital investment, though still universally slack, is superior to human capital investment.
The average overall material capital slack throughout the nation is 39%. 4.

The sharp increase in the impact value of the specimens after PWHT is believed to be due to the comprehensive effect of softening of the materials [11], grain growth, and so on.

Depolymerization of Lignin with Supercritical Fluids: A Review Xing Wanga, Jinghui Zhou*b, Haiming Lic, Guangwei Sund 1Liaoning Provincial Key Laboratory of Pulp and Paper Engineering, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian 116034, China.
Lignin as biomass has been long labeled with “waste material”.
The unique properties at supercritical conditions, i.e. strong dependence of the solubility of a material in a super critical fluid to its density and good contact between oxidants and reactants, make SCFs ideal for separation and extraction of useful products and for oxidation of organic materials.
When using different supercritical solvent to process the materials, we can find the reaction of process, the yield, and molecular weight and so on have very big difference.
The mechanistic understanding of the process, the harsh operation environment such as high temperature and high pressure, and its request on the materials and associated cost are the main concerns for its wide application.

The research from International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that the data amount that the global produced in 2009 is 0.8ZB,and it increased to 1.2 ZB in 2010, what’s more, it reached up to 1.82 ZB in 2011, but by 2012, the data amounts of all printed material humans generated was only 200PB.
The Obama administration also announced "big data research and development plan" in March 2012, and declared that it would invest 200 million dollars pulling the industrial development related to big data, aimed at improving the capacity of the people to get knowledge from the huge amounts of data available, thus accelerating the United States’ pace of invention in science and engineering to strengthen national security.
It achieves the traffic management become a "points to points, key to key, zero distance, and unclocked" service.

Desulfurization of Simulated Coking Benzene on Modified Activated Clay Chunguang Pan, Hongzhu Ma* Institute of Energy Chemistry, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an, China, 710062 E-mail address: hzmachem@snnu.edu.cn (H.
An effective catalyst is the key of alkylation transfer desulfurization, and the activity of acidic catalyst in the alkylation reaction mainly depends on its strength of superacidity [11].
The activated clay, which is quite abundant in the earth’s upper crust, is an important and cheap raw material for manufacturing such as adsorbents [15] and catalysts[16].
So the key step for improving the catalytic activity was enhanced the acidity of the activated clay.
