Copper recovery by polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) and electrochemical regeneration

In this work, the removal of Cu²⁺ from a synthetic effluent has been tested by means of polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF), using partially ethoxylated polyethylenimine (PEPEI) as water-soluble polymer. Overall, the two necessary steps of a hypothetical continuous process, metal retention (in total recirculation and discontinuous mode) and polymer regeneration (in discontinuous mode), have been confronted individually. On the one hand, the values of temperature (T), transmembrane pressure (ΔP), metal–polymer ratio and pH that maximize both, permeate fluxes and rejection coefficients, have been obtained by ultrafiltration tests, reaching Cu²⁺ retention coefficients higher than 97%. On the other hand, the polymer regeneration step has been carried out by the electrochemical technique, which consists in the metal electrodeposition on the cathode of an electrochemical cell. In a first step, cyclic voltammetries have been carried out to assure the polymer does not suffer any oxidation or reduction process. From these tests, a cathodic working potential has been selected to minimize hydrogen evolution reaction (−0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Working at this voltage in deposition tests, a pH of 3.3 has been selected from experiments at different pH values. This pH is less extreme than the pH necessary if this step was carried out chemically (pH 2).     

添加金属氧化物的V2O5/AC在烟气脱SO2及脱SO2后H2再生制备硫磺的活性研究

干法脱除烟气SO2的多种催化剂均可在H2气氛中再生,直接制备硫磺。该过程的实现不仅要求再生尾气循环,而且要求催化剂具有双重功能,即在脱硫过程中催化氧化SO2为H2SO4以及在再生过程中将催化还原释放出的SO2进一步转化为硫磺。添加有金属氧化物的V2O5/AC催化剂具备双重功能。着重考察了添加Ce、W、Fe、Co 等氧化物的V2O5/AC催化剂烟气SO2脱除能力及脱除SO2后经H2再生制备硫磺的能力,并对添加Co的催化剂进行了优化。结果表明,在这类催化剂中,对烟气脱SO2起主要催化氧化作用的是V2O5,对H2再生硫磺制备起作用的是添加的金属氧化物。除Ce2O3外,WO3、Fe2O3和CoO都提高了再生中的硫磺收率,CoO的作用最为显著。较合适的催化剂组成是1%V2O5和0.5%CoO。这些金属氧化物在AC上的担载方法,对烟气脱SO2和H2再生结果的影响不明显。硫磺的生成需要CoO向CoS2的转变,再生后催化剂上残余有部分CoS2,且残余硫量还与V2O5量有关。     

脱硫脱硝后V2O5/AC在含NH3气氛中的再生及硫资源化的耦合过程研究

V2O5/AC具有很好的烟气同时脱硫脱硝能力,脱硫过程包括其对烟气中SO2的吸附、吸附饱和后SO2从其上的脱附（再生）及脱附出SO2的资源化。考察了同时脱硫脱硝后的V2O5/AC在含NH3气氛中的再生和硫资源化的耦合过程。研究了NH3注入量、再生温度、再生时间和尾气循环流量对再生效率、硫回收率及二次脱硫脱硝活性的影响。结果表明,再生温度和再生时间主要影响SO2的脱附,因而影响再生效率和二次脱硫脱硝活性;NH3注入量不影响SO2的脱附,但明显影响硫回收率和二次脱硫脱硝活性;尾气循环模式是提高硫回收率的重要方法,但在研究的条件下循环流量对再生效率、硫回收率和二次脱硫脱硝活性的影响不大。     

一步合成二甲醚催化剂烧结失活和原位再生的研究

采用共沉淀沉积法制备了CuOZnOAl2O3/γ Al2O3 HZSM 5复合催化剂,考察了其对CO加氢直接合成二甲醚的催化性能,研究了催化剂的失活和再生,并用H2-TPR、XRD、TPO、N2O化学吸附等表征方法对反应前后和再生后催化剂的物化性质进行了表征。结果表明,一步合成二甲醚催化剂的失活主要是由于活性位Cu晶粒的烧结长大;反应温度和原料气的组成是影响催化剂失活的因素,在低于220℃下,以N2/H2/CO/CO2为原料气会显著降低催化剂的失活速率。研究使用的氧化还原循环的再生方法能够使Cu晶粒发生再分散,并使失活的催化剂恢复了75%以上的活性。     

Protein‐Affinitive Polydopamine Nanoparticles as an Efficient Surface Modification Strategy for Versatile Porous Scaffolds Enhancing Tissue Regeneration

Porous scaffolds for tissue regeneration are often functionalized with extracellular matrix proteins to enhance surface/cell interactions and tissue regeneration. However, continuous coatings produced by commonly used surface modification strategies may preclude cells from contacting and sensing the chemical and physical cues of the scaffold. Here, it is shown that polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA‐NPs) tightly adhere on various scaffolds to form nanostructures, and the coverage can be finely tuned. Furthermore, the PDA‐NPs have good affinity to a variety of proteins and peptides. Thus, the PDA‐NPs act as an anchor to immobilize signal biomolecules on scaffolds, and consequently promote cell activity and tissue regeneration. β‐Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds decorated with PDA‐NPs demonstrate excellent osteoinductivity and bone‐regeneration performance due to the protein affinity of PDA‐NPs and the intrinsic bioactive characteristics of TCP scaffolds. In summary, PDA‐NPs with excellent affinity for protein adhesion represent a versatile platform to modify porous scaffolds while not compromising the biological functions of the scaffolds, and might have potential applications in tissue regeneration.     

异质结型AgBr/CuO光催化剂的合成、光崔化活性及再生

采用沉淀法制备了具有p-n异质结结构的AgBr/CuO可见光催化剂,对其结构进行了表征,通过甲基橙溶液的降解率评价了AgBr/CuO的光催化活性,并通过活性物种测试及能带结构分析推测了其光催化机理,采用3％(质量分数)溴水对使用后的AgBr/CuO进行了再生处理.结果表明,在可见光照射下,0.1gAgBr/CuO光催化剂30 min对甲基橙溶液(初始浓度为15 mg/L)的降解率高达92％,远高于同等条件下的AgBr.AgBr/CuO光催化活性提高的原因是AgBr与CuO的复合一方面使催化剂的禁带宽度变宽,提高了光生电子与光生空穴的氧化还原能力;另一方面,在两者之间形成了p-n型异质结结构,有利于光生电子的转移及光生电子与空穴的分离.采用绿色环保的溴水再生法可显著恢复催化剂的光催化活性.

Succinic acid adsorption from fermentation broth and regeneration

More than 25 sorbents were tested for uptake of succinic acid from aqueous solutions. The best resins were then tested for successive loading and regeneration using hotwater. The key desired properties for an ideal sorbent are high capacity, complete stable regenerability, and specificity for the product. The best resins have a stable capacity of about 0.06 g of succinic acid/g of resin at moderate concentrations (1–5 g/L) of succinic acid. Several sorbents were tested more exhaustively for uptake of succinic acid and for successive loading and regeneration using hot water. One resin, XUS 40285, has a good stable isotherm capacity, prefers succinate over glucose, and has good capacities at both acidic and neutral pH. Succinic acid was removed from simulated media containing salts, succinic acid, acetic acid, and sugar using a packed column of sorbent resin, XUS 40285. The fermentation byproduct, acetate, was completely separated from succinate. A simple hot water regeneration successfully concentrated succinate from 10 g/L (inlet) to 40–110 g/L in the effluent. If successful, this would lower separation costs by reducing the need for chemicals for the initial purification step. Despie promising initial results of good capacity (0.06 g of succinic/g of sorbent), 70% recovery using hot water, and a recovered concentration of >100 g/L, this regeneration was not stable over 10 cycles in the column. Alternative regeneration schemes using acid and base were examined. Two (XUS 40285 and XFS-40422) showed both good stable capacities for succinic acid over 10 cycles and >95% recovery in a batch operation using a modified extraction procedure combining acid and hot water washes. These resins showed comparable results with actual broth.     

Study on deactivation and regeneration of Pd/Al2O3 catalyst in hydrogen peroxide production by the anthraquinone process

Deactivated palladium catalysts in the hydrogenation of anthraquinione were regenerated with ethanol, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, boiling water and steam, respectively. The deactivated and regenerated catalysts were characterized by XPS, ICP, TG, FTIR, TPD, XRD, etc., and studied in the hydrogenation of anthraquinone. The results showed that the main cause of catalyst deactivation is the coverage of the active component by deposits. The treatments by hydrogen peroxide and boiling water can effectively regenerate the deactivated catalysts.

再生气氛对HDN催化剂再生性能的影响

采用不同手段研究了催化剂反应前后及在Ｈ２Ｏ和Ｎ２介质中再生时催化剂性质和表面原子浓度及其颁的变化。ＢＥＴ结果表明，Ｎ２介质中再生，催化剂的孔径基本没有变化，而Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生的催化剂孔径明显增大，化学组成分析结果说明，长期运转使用后的催化剂在２和Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生后其活性组分均有少量流失。电子探针的结果表明，结炭后的催化剂活性组分很不均匀，在Ｎ２和Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生后其分布得到了明显改善，但仍不如新鲜
