Natural organic matter removal by coagulation during drinking water treatment: A review

Natural organic matter (NOM) is found in all surface, ground and soil waters. An increase in the amount of NOM has been observed over the past 10-20 years in raw water supplies in several areas, which has a significant effect on drinking water treatment. The presence of NOM causes many problems in drinking water and drinking water treatment processes, including (i) negative effect on water quality by causing colour, taste and odor problems, (ii) increased coagulant and disinfectant doses (which in turn results in increased sludge volumes and production of harmful disinfection by-products), (iii) promoted biological growth in distribution system, and (iv) increased levels of complexed heavy metals and adsorbed organic pollutants. NOM can be removed from drinking water by several treatment options, of which the most common and economically feasible processes are considered to be coagulation and flocculation followed by sedimentation/flotation and sand filtration. Most of the NOM can be removed by coagulation, although, the hydrophobic fraction and high molar mass compounds of NOM are removed more efficiently than hydrophilic fraction and the low molar mass compounds. Thus, enhanced and/or optimized coagulation, as well as new process alternatives for the better removal of NOM by coagulation process has been suggested. In the present work, an overview of the recent research dealing with coagulation and flocculation in the removal of NOM from drinking water is presented.     

Facile Synthesis of Novel Perfluorocarbon‐Modulated 4‐Anilinoquinazoline Analogues

4‐Anilinoquinazoline analogues stand out among many kinds of small molecules that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activities of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR ), thus serving as significant molecular targets for anticancer drug design. Herein, a series of novel perfluorocarbon (PFC ) modulated 4‐anilinoquinazolines were designed and prepared straightforwardly by nucleophilic substitution reaction of various anilinoquinazolines and PFC ‐derived methanesulfonate. In the presence of base, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford a wide range of 4‐anilinoquinazolines with different substituents on aniline moiety in good to high yields. Furthermore, the PFC ‐modified analogues of gefitinib and erlotinib were also obtained in 93% and 90% respectively, which may have potential for developing new inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR ) tyrosine kinase and fluorinated contrast agents (CA ) for ¹⁹F MRI .     

峰值电流控制型功率因数校正Boost变换器的分岔行为

分析了电流控制型功率因数校正Boost变换器的分岔行为，包括了高频不稳定现象和低频分岔。电流连续导通模式下进行的功率因数校正变换器分析阻碍了对这种变换器全部动力学特性的认识。功率因数校正变换器可能会工作于电流断续导通模式，特别是在轻载的情况下这种现象更明显。因此，本文使用电流断续导通模型来分析可能工作在电流断续导通状态下功率因数校正变换器，得到了变换器的低频分岔图，使得变换器经历倍周期分岔通向混沌途径更加清楚。对于负载电阻和输出电容的分岔图也说明了变换器的稳定工作边界，这些对变换器的设计是十分有用的。     

Trace determination of airborne polyfluorinated iodine alkanes using multisorbent thermal desorption/gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry

A novel gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry method coupled with multisorbent thermal desorption cartridges has been developed for the determination of volatile neutral polyfluorinated iodine alkanes (PFIs) in airborne samples. It allows, for the first time, simultaneous analysis of four mono-iodized perfluorinated alkanes, three diiodized perfluorinated alkanes and four mono-iodized polyfluorinated telomers in ambient air samples. 3.75 L air sample was passed through a sorbent tube packed with 150 mg of Tenax TA and 200 mg of Carbograph 1TD for analyte adsorption. Important factors during the analysis procedures, such as safe sampling volume, air sampling rate, analyte desorption and transfer strategies, were optimized and good thermal desorption efficiencies were obtained. The method detection limit (MDL) concentration ranged from 0.04 pg/L for 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorododecyl iodide to 1.2 pg/L for perfluorohexyl iodide, and instrument response of a seven-point calibration was linear in the range of 10–1000 pg. Travel spike recoveries ranged from 83% to 116%. Small variabilities of less than 36% were obtained near the MDLs and the differences between triplicates were even smaller (2.1–7.3%) at 200 pg spiked level. The method was successfully applied to analyze ambient air samples collected near a point source, and five PFIs were identified (10.8–85.0 pg/L), with none of the analytes detectable at the background site.     

Particle flow study on strength and meso-mechanism of Brazilian splitting test for jointed rock mass

A discrete element method （DEM） called particle flow code （PFC2D） was used to construct a model for Brazilian disc splitting test in the present study. Based on the experimental results of intact Brazilian disc of rock-like material, a set of micro-parameters in PFC2D that reflected the macro-mechanical behavior of rock-like materials were obtained. And then PFC2D was used to simulate Brazilian splitting test for jointed rock mass specimens and specimen containing a central straight notch. The effect of joint angle and notch angle on the tensile strength and failure mode of jointed rock specimens was detailed analyzed. In order to reveal the meso-mechanical mechanism of crack coalescence, displacement trend lines were applied to analyze the displacement evolution during the crack initiation and propagation. The investigated conclusions can be described as follows. （1） The tensile strength of jointed rock mass disc specimen is dependent to the joint angle. As the joint angle increases, the tensile strength of jointed rock specimen takes on a nonlinear variance. （2） The tensile strength of jointed rock mass disc specimen containing a central straight notch distributes as a function of both joint angle and notch angle. （3） Three major failure modes, i.e., pure tensile failure, shear failure and mixed tension and shear failure mode are observed in jointed rock mass disc specimens under Brazilian test. （4） The notch angle roles on crack initiation and and joint angle play important propagation characteristics of jointed rock mass disc specimen containing a central straight notch under Brazilian test.     

聚合物/金属摩擦界面迁移过程的数值模拟

聚合物材料在与金属对偶件滑动接触时,会在摩擦界面上发生界面迁移,导致在金属对偶件表面形成一层转移膜.转移膜的存在能够有效地降低聚合物材料的磨损.本文基于离散单元法,利用二维颗粒流程序(PFC2D),对PTFE/45钢界面迁移过程进行数值模拟分析.模拟结果表明:PTFE与45钢组成摩擦副时,会在45钢表面形成一层转移颗粒层.一开始转移颗粒数逐渐增大,一段时间后随着转移颗粒层的形成与完整,转移颗粒数趋于一个定值且保持动态平衡,磨损颗粒增加速率显著下降,并维持在一个稳定的值.
