Effect of water vapour on particulate matter emission during oxyfuel combustion of char and in situ volatiles generated from rapid pyrolysis of chromated-copper-arsenate-treated wood

This paper reports the effect of water vapour on particulate matter (PM) during the separate combustion of in situ volatiles and char generated from chromated-copper-arsenate-treated (CCAT) wood at 1300 °C. Combustion of in situ volatiles produces only PM with aerodynamic diameter?<1?µm (i.e., PM₁), dominantly PM with aerodynamic diameter?<0.1?µm (i.e., PM_0.1). Water vapour could significantly enhance the nucleation, coagulation and condensation of fine particles and reduce the capture of Na and K by the alumina reactor tube via reduced formation of alkali aluminates, leading to increases in both yield and modal diameter of PM_0.1. Water vapour could also enhance char fragmentation hence increase the yield of PM with aerodynamic diameter between 1 and 10?µm (i.e., PM_1–10) during char combustion. For trace elements, during in situ volatiles combustion, volatile elements (As, Cr, Ni, Cu and Pb) are only presented in PM₁ and water vapour alters the particle size distributions (PSDs) but has little effect on the yields of these trace elements. During char combustion, As, Cr, Cu and Ni are present in both PM₁ and PM_1–10 while the non-volatile Mn and Ti are only present in PM_1–10. Increasing water vapour content increases the yields of As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mn and Ti in PM_1-10 due to enhanced char fragmentation. During char combustion, water vapour also originates less oxidising conditions locally for enhancing As release, promotes the generation of gaseous chromium oxyhydroxides and inhabits the production of NiCl₂ (g), leading to increased yields of As and Cr and decreased yield of Ni in PM_0.1.

聚苯乙烯多孔薄膜的密度梯度控制

利用单分散的SiO2微球自组装制备了含一种尺寸微球的SiO2胶体晶体和含多种尺寸微球的多层异质结构。对含一种尺寸微球的SiO2胶体晶体进行煅烧和刻蚀处理后,胶体晶体中空隙所占比例大于立方密堆结构的26%,形成了非密堆结构,而且刻蚀时间越长,空隙比例越大。在同样的热处理和刻蚀条件下,微球尺寸越小的胶体晶体被刻蚀的程度越高,结构中空气空隙所占的比例越大。对SiO2多层异质结构经过煅烧和刻蚀处理后,得到了空隙梯度变化的多层结构,以此为模板制备了密度梯度变化的聚苯乙烯多孔薄膜。薄膜各层之间形成了平滑的过渡,没有显示出明显的层间缺陷,且孔与孔之间没有出现3维有序多孔结构中常见的大的连通孔道。     

Computer design of a compact cyclotron

Here we present results of the computer design of the structural elements of a compact cyclotron by the example of HITFiL cyclotron selected as the driving accelerator that is under construction at the Institute of Modern Physics (Lanzhou, China). In the article a complex approach to modeling of the compact cyclotron, including calculation of electromagnetic fields of the structural elements and beam dynamics calculations, is described. The existing design data on the axial injection, magnetic, acceleration and extraction systems of the cyclotron are used as a starting point in the simulation. Some of the upgrades of the cyclotron structural elements were proposed, which led to substantial improvement of the beam quality and transmission.     

Speech enhancement based on multitaper spectrum and psychoacoustical weighting rule

Multitaper spectrum has lower variance than the traditional periodogram. The noise spectrum and the noise to noisy signal spectrum ratio (NNSR) were estimated from the multitaper spectrum of the noisy signal; the pre-enhanced speech for calculating the noise masking threshold was obtained by the spectral amplitude subtraction method, whose gain is a function of NNSR; the final enhanced speech was obtained by suppressing the Fourier spectrum of the noisy speech with the psychoacoustical weighting rule incorporating the noise masking threshold. Because of the low variance feature of the multitaper spectrum, a modified offset formula was proposed to calculate the noise masking threshold, thus the reconstructed speech with this modification has an improvement in MBSD (Modified Bark Spectral Distortion). When a maximum limitation less than one to the psychoacoustical weighting rule is further proposed, the higher the input SNR (> 0 dB) is, the more improvement the segmental SNR and the overall SNR have. The informal listening tests show that there is little speech distortion for the enhanced speech processed by the proposed method, the background noise is reduced much and free of musical noise.

Effect of cellulose–lignin interactions on char structural changes during fast pyrolysis at 100–350 °C

This study investigates the cellulose–lignin interactions during fast pyrolysis at 100–350 °C for better understanding fundamental pyrolysis mechanism of lignocellulosic biomass. The results show that co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin (with a mass ratio of 1:1) at temperatures < 300 °C leads to a char yield lower than the calculated char yield based on the addition of individual cellulose and lignin pyrolysis. The difference between the experimental and calculated char yields increases with temperature, from ～2% 150 °C to ～6% at 250 °C. Such differences in char yields provide direct evidences on the existence of cellulose–lignin interactions during co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin. At temperatures below 300 °C, the reductions in both lignin functional groups and sugar structures within the char indicate that co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin enhances the release of volatiles from both cellulose and lignin. Such an observation could be attributed to two possible reasons: (1) the stabilization of lignin-derived reactive species by cellulose-derived reaction intermediates as hydrogen donors, and (2) the thermal ejection of cellulose-derived species due to micro-explosion of liquid intermediates from lignin. In contrast, at temperatures ≥ 300 °C, co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin increases char yields, i.e., with the difference between the experimental and calculated char yields increasing from ～1% at 300 °C to ～8% at 350 °C. The results indicate that the cellulose-derived volatiles are difficult to diffuse through the lignin-derived liquid intermediates into the vapor phase, leading to increased char formation from co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin as temperature increases. Such an observation is further supported by the increased retention of cellulose functional groups in the char from co-pyrolysis of cellulose and lignin.
