氢气对正丁烷/空气混合物催化着火的热作用和化学作用

通过对正丁烷/氢气/空气混合物在Pt 催化表面的详细反应机理分析, 研究了氢气添加对正丁烷/空气混合物催化着火过程的影响. 研究发现, 在正丁烷/空气混合中添加氢气有助于正丁烷在更低的温度下实现催化着火, 而且不同的氢气添加量对混合物的着火温度和着火过程呈现不同的影响: 当氢气添加量较小时, 氢气的作用主要呈现为热影响; 而当氢气添加量较大时, 氢气的作用主要呈现为化学影响. 这些结果与实验结果是一致的. 本文进一步确定了发挥不同作用的氢气添加量的范围, 并分别对热作用和化学作用情况下的着火启动反应进行了动力学分析.

Sorptive elimination of fluoride from contaminated groundwater in a fixed bed column: A kinetic model validation based study

The current investigation involves a continuous adsorption experiment in a packed bed column for the sorptive elucidation of fluoride from contaminated groundwater using an activated soil-clay mixture. Through the combination of naturally accessible laterite soil with silica enriched clay (3:1 ratio), a low-cost Al–Si heterogeneous material has been developed. Following detailed characterization, the developed materials were employed in a long-time column process to achieve a high degree of fluoride separation from real-world groundwater. In a packed bed column investigation, the effect of bed height, initial fluoride concentration, and flow rate on the breakthrough properties of the adsorption system were investigated. By using a non-linear regression equation, three model kinetics, such as the Thomas Model, Adams-Bohart Model, and Yoon-Nelson Model, were fitted to validate the column-based experimental data, by analysing the breakthrough curves profiles, and distinct kinetic parameters. The Bed Depth Service Time Analysis (BDST) model was tested to express the effect of bed height on breakthrough curves, as well as to predict the time for breakthrough, and material depletion under optimal conditions. The Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were identified to be the most appropriate ones for describing the entire breakthrough curve, whereas the Adams-Bohart model was only utilised to predict the first half of the dynamic process. With correlation coefficients (R²) 0.96, the experimental results were well suited to Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart models. Finally, regeneration assessment was carried out where even after four cycles of operation, regenerated adsorbent showed a rejection efficacy of 78% to fluoride that proves the viability of the material and methodology.

Functionalized Graphene as a Gatekeeper for Chiral Molecules: An Alternative Concept for Chiral Separation

We propose a new method of chiral separation using functionalized nanoporous graphene as an example. Computational simulations based on density functional theory show that the attachment of a suitable chiral “bouncer” molecule to the pore rim prevents the passage of the undesired enantiomer while letting its mirror image through.     

Polydimethylsiloxane: A General Matrix for High‐Performance Chromatographic NMR Spectroscopy

The detection and structural characterization of the components of a mixture is a challenging task. Therefore, the development of a facile and general method that enables both the separation and the structural characterization of the components is desired. Diffusion‐ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) with the aid of a matrix is a promising tool for this purpose. However, because the currently existing matrices only separate limited components, the application of the DOSY technique is restricted. Herein we introduce a new versatile matrix, poly(dimethylsiloxane), which can fully separate many mixtures of different structural types by liquid‐state NMR spectroscopy. With poly(dimethylsiloxane), liquid‐state chromatographic NMR spectroscopy could become a general approach for the structural elucidation of mixtures of compounds.     

Nonlinear three-wave equation for a polydisperse gas-liquid mixture

A new nonlinear three-wave equation of the sixth order for pressure in a polydisperse gas-liquid mixture with bubbles of two sizes is obtained, and its stationary solutions are analyzed. The equation includes two nonlinear quadratic terms of different derivative orders. These terms are of fundamental importance for obtaining good correspondence between the solutions to this equation and the experimentally observed solitary waves in the form of two coupled solitons.     

Smoothness in Bayesian Non-parametric Regression with Wavelets

Consider the classical nonparametric regression problem y_i = f(t_i) + _ii = 1,...,n where t_i = i/n, and _i are i.i.d. zero mean normal with variance ². The aim is to estimate the true function f which is assumed to belong to the smoothness class described by the Besov space B _pq ^q . These are functions belonging to L_p with derivatives up to order s, in L_p sense. The parameter q controls a further finer degree of smoothness. In a Bayesian setting, a prior on B _pq ^q is chosen following Abramovich, Sapatinas and Silverman (1998). We show that the optimal Bayesian estimator of f is then also a.s. in B _pq ^q if the loss function is chosen to be the Besov norm of B _pq ^q . Because it is impossible to compute this optimal Bayesian estimator analytically, we propose a stochastic algorithm based on an approximation of the Bayesian risk and simulated annealing. Some simulations are presented to show that the algorithm performs well and that the new estimator is competitive when compared to the more standard posterior mean.     

Dynamic Properties of Two-Dimensional Polydisperse Granular Gases

We propose a two-dimensional model of polydisperse granular mixtures with a power-law size distribution in the presence of stochastic driving. A fractal dimension D is introduced as a measurement of the inhomogeneity of the size distribution of particles. We define the global and partial granular temperatures of the multi-component mixture. By direct simulation Monte Carlo, we investigate how the inhomogeneity of the size distribution influences the dynamic properties of the mixture, focusing on the granular temperature, dissipated energy, velocity distribution, spatial clusterization, and collision time. We get the following results: a single granular temperature does not characterize a multi-component mixture and each species attains its own "granular temperature"; The velocity deviation from Gaussian distribution becomes more and more pronounced and the partial density of the assembly is more inhomogeneous with the increasing value of the fractal dimension D; The global granular temperature decreases and average dissipated energy per particle increases as the value of D augments.
