A gas turbine power plant for CO2 capture, based on oxygen-permeable membranes with mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, was analysed with respect to long-term
stability by means of numerical simulation. Due to the attractive transport and physicochemical properties of mixed-conducting
La2NiO4+δ, this nickelate was selected as a prototype membrane material for this application. Experiments showed very slow degradation
of La2NiO4+δ membranes at oxygen chemical potentials close to atmospheric conditions, which are associated with kinetic demixing and other
microstructure-related factors. Interaction with CO2 in the intermediate temperature range also leads to lower oxygen permeation, whilst increasing oxygen pressure may cause
partial phase decomposition and microstructural changes, thus again limiting the range of possible operation conditions. The
relevant operational constraints were included in a detailed membrane-based gas turbine power plant model. The membrane performance
degradation with time was approximated by a linear function with average rate of 3.3% per 1,000 operation hours. Furthermore,
performance deterioration of the gas turbine compressor and turbine were also considered. Simulations revealed that the power
plant is substantially affected by degradation of the ceramic membranes and turbomachinery components. The already rather
small operating window was further narrowed when compared with a conventional gas turbine power plant. Two different designs
of the membrane-based power plant were analysed: (1) with and (2) without additional combustors (afterburners) between the
membrane reactor and the gas turbine. Afterburners increase thermal efficiency as well as power output, but also lead to non-negligible
CO2 emissions. In order to have a frame of comparison, results for a conventional gas turbine power plant with degradation of
turbomachinery components are also presented. Simulations representing changes in ambient temperature and fuel composition
as well as failure incidents were executed to analyse the susceptibility of the gas turbine power plant to external and internal
changes. 相似文献
The fluorescent peptidocalixarenes, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(O-methyl-l-tryptophanylcarbonylmethoxy)calix[4]arene (1) and 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-di(O-methyl)-26,28-bis(O-methyl-l-tryptophanylcarbonylmethoxy)calix[4]arene (2), were prepared by introducing tryptophan subunits at a lower calixarene rim. Coordination abilities of 1 and 2 towards Eu(III) and alkali metal cations were studied by spectrophotometric, spectrofluorimetric, conductometric and potentiometric titrations in acetonitrile at 25°C. Rather strong complexation was observed for smaller alkali metal cations Li+ and Na+ (log KLi1>6, log KLi2>6, log KNa1 = 8.25, log KNa2 = 6.94), and moderate for K+ (log KK1 = 5.09, log KK2 = 4.09). Larger Rb+ and Cs+ cations did not fit in the ion binding site of 1 so no complexation was detected, whereas the more flexible ligand 2 accommodated Rb+ cation (log KRb2 = 3.44). The fluorescence of 1 (λex = 280 nm, λem = 340 nm) was remarkably quenched by Eu(III). Stability constant of 1:1 (Eu3+:1) complex determined spectrofluorimetrically amounted to log KEu1 = 6.16. 相似文献
A novel method for obtaining cross-linked microgels of apple pectin has been introduced. This method is based on the Ugi four-component condensation in colloidal suspensions of pectinic acid and amines. Using various processing parameters (the polysaccharide concentration, the type and density of crosslink, and the optimal pH range), particles with controlled colloidal properties have been obtained. Lightly cross-linked polysaccharide chains acquire anionic character due to deprotonation of the carboxyl groups at pH?9–10. Increasing the degree of cross-linking leads to a polyampholyte microgel, which can be protonated in acidic medium or deprotonated in basic medium. Polyampholyte microgels derived from apple pectin have proved to be an effective Pickering emulsifier at low concentrations and pH?2–3, forming stable oil-in-water emulsions. These Pickering emulsions exhibited pH-responsive behavior: raising the solution pH to 10 resulted in immediate demulsification due to the destabilization of microgel network at the oil–water interface. 相似文献
Selberg-type integrals that can be turned into constant term identities for Laurent polynomials arise naturally in conjunction with random matrix models in statistical mechanics. Built on a recent idea of Karasev and Petrov we develop a general interpolation based method that is powerful enough to establish many such identities in a simple manner. The main consequence is the proof of a conjecture of Forrester related to the Calogero–Sutherland model. In fact we prove a more general theorem, which includes Aomoto's constant term identity at the same time. We also demonstrate the relevance of the method in additive combinatorics. 相似文献
The chemical dynamics of the elementary reaction of ground state atomic silicon (Si; 3P) with germane (GeH4; X1A1) were unraveled in the gas phase under single collision condition at a collision energy of 11.8±0.3 kJ mol−1 exploiting the crossed molecular beams technique contemplated with electronic structure calculations. The reaction follows indirect scattering dynamics and is initiated through an initial barrierless insertion of the silicon atom into one of the four chemically equivalent germanium-hydrogen bonds forming a triplet collision complex (HSiGeH3; 3 i1 ). This intermediate underwent facile intersystem crossing (ISC) to the singlet surface (HSiGeH3; 1 i1 ). The latter isomerized via at least three hydrogen atom migrations involving exotic, hydrogen bridged reaction intermediates eventually leading to the H3SiGeH isomer i5 . This intermediate could undergo unimolecular decomposition yielding the dibridged butterfly-structured isomer 1 p1 (Si(μ-H2)Ge) plus molecular hydrogen through a tight exit transition state. Alternatively, up to two subsequent hydrogen shifts to i6 and i7 , followed by fragmentation of each of these intermediates, could also form 1 p1 (Si(μ-H2)Ge) along with molecular hydrogen. The overall non-adiabatic reaction dynamics provide evidence on the existence of exotic dinuclear hydrides of main group XIV elements, whose carbon analog structures do not exist. 相似文献
In this study, new biodegradable and biocompatible amphiphilic polymers were obtained by modifying the peripheral hydroxyl groups of branched polyethers and polyesters with organosilicon substituents. The structures of the synthesized polymers were confirmed by NMR and GPC. Organosilicon moieties of the polymers were formed by silatranes and trimethylsilyl blocks and displayed hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, respectively. The effect of the ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic organosilicon structures on the surface activity and biological activity of macromolecules was studied, together with the effect on these activities of the macromolecules’ molecular weight and chemical structure. In particular, the critical micelle concentrations were determined, the effect of the structure of the polymers on their wetting with aqueous solutions on glass and parafilm was described, and the aggregation stability of emulsions was studied. Finally, the effect of the polymer structures on their antifungal activity and seed germination stimulation was examined. 相似文献
The synthesis and electropolymerization of a pyrrolic concanavalin A derivative (pyrrole‐Con A) onto a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) deposit is reported. Glucose oxidase was then immobilized onto the MWCNT‐poly(pyrrole‐Con A) coating by affinity carbohydrate interactions with the polymerized Con A protein. The resulting enzyme electrode was applied to the amperometric detection of glucose exhibiting a high sensitivity of 36 mA cm?2 mol?1 L and a maximum current density of 350 μA cm?2. 相似文献
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy serves as an indispensable tool in chemistry and biology but often suffers from long experimental times. We present a proof‐of‐concept of the application of deep learning and neural networks for high‐quality, reliable, and very fast NMR spectra reconstruction from limited experimental data. We show that the neural network training can be achieved using solely synthetic NMR signals, which lifts the prohibiting demand for a large volume of realistic training data usually required for a deep learning approach. 相似文献
Transport properties of perovskite-type Sr11Mo4O23 and composite Sr11Mo4O23 - 1 wt% Al2O3 were studied at 400–1300 K in the oxygen partial pressure range from 0.21 down to 10−19 atm. The electromotive force and faradaic efficiency measurements, in combination with the energy-dispersive spectroscopy of the fractured electrochemical cells, unambiguously showed prevailing role of the oxygen ionic conductivity under oxidizing conditions. At temperatures above 600 K, protonic and cationic transport can be neglected. The oxygen ion transference numbers vary in the range of 0.95–1.00 at 973–1223 K. At temperatures lower than 550 K, the total conductivity of Sr11Mo4O23 - 1 wt% Al2O3 composite measured by impedance spectroscopy tends to increase in wet atmospheres, thus indicating that hydration and protonic transport become significant. Reducing oxygen partial pressure below 10−10–10−9 atm leads to a significant increase in the n-type electronic conduction. The average thermal expansion coefficients in oxidizing atmospheres are (14.3–15.0) × 10−6 K−1 at 340–740 K and (18.3–19.2) × 10−6 K−1 at 870–1370 K.
Most ternary sulfides belonging to the MGaS2 structure‐type have been known for many years and are well‐characterized. Surprisingly, there have been no reports of the NaGaS2 composition, which contains Na, a monovalent cation slightly larger in size than Li, found in LiGaS2, a compound known for its non‐linear optical properties. Now it is demonstrated for the first time that the unique reversible water absorption in NaGaS2 has resulted in its absence from previous reports owing to difficulties encountered when characterizing this compound by SC XRD. The layered structure of this compound coupled with uniquely easy migration of water molecules between the layers allows for ion exchange with 3d and 5f metal cations. Some cations, for example, Ni2+, facilitate exfoliation of the layers, providing a facile synthetic route to a new class of 2D chalcogenide materials and furthermore demonstrating that NaGaS2 can readily uptake uranyl species from aqueous solutions. 相似文献
