Rapid and Efficient Separation of Oil from Oil‐in‐Water Emulsions Using a Janus Cotton Fabric

A novel bi‐functional Janus cotton fabric is used to separate oil from oil‐in‐water emulsions. This fabric is superhydrophobic on one surface and polyamine‐bearing on the other. When used as a filter, the polyamine‐bearing side causes the micrometer‐sized oil droplets to coalesce. The coalesced oil then fills fabric pores on the superhydrophobic side and selectively permeates it. Oil separation using this method is rapid and the separated oil is pure. Furthermore, the content of the model oil hexadecane (HD) in water after a separation can be reduced to less than 0.03±0.03 vol %. These features demonstrate the practical potential of this technology.     

Extraordinary NO2 Removal by the Metal–Organic Framework UiO‐66‐NH2

Here we discuss the removal of nitrogen dioxide, an important toxic industrial chemical and pollutant, from air using the MOF UiO‐66‐NH₂. The amine group is found to substantially aid in the removal, resulting in unprecedented removal capacities upwards of 1.4 g of NO₂ /g of MOF. Furthermore, whereas NO₂ typically generates substantial quantities of NO on sorbents, the amount generated by UiO‐66‐NH₂ is significantly reduced. Of particular significance is the formation of a diazonium ion on the aromatic ring of the MOF, and the potential reduction of NO₂ to molecular nitrogen.

Oscillatory traveling waves of polytropic filtration equation with generalized Fisher–KPP sources

The polytropic filtration equation with generalized Fisher–KPP sources is considered. We will show that the equation may have finite times oscillatory traveling waves, and try to give a complete classification by virtue of a singular exponent in the source according to the finiteness of the oscillatory times of traveling waves.     

Finite-dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebra ℳ

A new family of finite-dimensional simple modular Lie superalgebra ? is constructed based on results of Y. Z. Zhang and Q. C. Zhang [J. Algebra, 2009, 321: 3601–3619]. The simplicity and generators of ? are discussed and the derivation superalgebra of ? is characterized. Furthermore, the invariance of the nonnatural filtration of ? is determined by the method of minimal dimension of image spaces.     

Convergence of Yang-Mills-Higgs flow for twist Higgs pairs on Riemann surfaces

We consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional of twist Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle(E,H)over Riemann surface X.It is already known the gradient flow with initial data(A0,φ0)converges to a critical point(A∞,φ∞).Using a modified Chern-Weil type inequality,we prove that the limiting twist Higgs bundle(E,d′′A∞,φ∞)coincides with the graded twist Higgs bundle defined by the HarderNarasimhan-Seshadri filtration of the initial twist Higgs bundle(E,d′′A0,φ0),generalizing Wilkin’s results for untwist Higgs bundle.     

Three‐dimensional finite element modelling of coupled free/porous flows: applications to industrial and environmental flows

Conjunctive modelling of free/porous flows provides a powerful and cost‐effective tool for designing industrial filters used in the process industry and also for quantifying surface–subsurface flow interactions, which play a significant role in urban flooding mechanisms resulting from sea‐level rise and climate changes. A number of well‐established schemes are available in the literature for simulation of such regimes; however, three‐dimensional (3D) modelling of such flow systems still presents numerical and practical challenges. This paper presents the development of a fully 3D, transient finite element model for the prediction and quantitative analyses of the hydrodynamic behaviour encountered in industrial filtrations and environmental flows represented by coupled flows. The weak‐variational formulation in this model is based on the use of C⁰ continuous equal‐order Lagrange polynomial functions for velocity and pressure fields represented by 3D hexahedral finite elements. A mixed UVWP finite element scheme based on the standard Galerkin technique satisfying the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuska–Brezzi stability criterion through incorporation of an artificial compressibility term in the continuity equation has been employed for the solution of coupled partial differential equations. We prove that the discretization generates unified stabilization for both the Navier–Stokes and Darcy equations and preserves the geometrical flexibility of the computational grids. A direct node‐linking procedure involving the rearrangement of the global stiffness matrix for the interface elements has been developed by the authors, which is utilized to couple the governing equations in a single model. A variety of numerical tests are conducted, indicating that the model is capable of yielding theoretically expected and accurate results for free, porous and coupled free/porous problems encountered in industrial and environmental engineering problems representing complex filtration (dead‐end and cross‐flow) and interacting surface–subsurface flows. The model is computationally cost‐effective, robust, reliable and easily implementable for practical design of filtration equipments, investigation of land use for water resource availability and assessment of the impacts of climatic variations on environmental catastrophes (i.e. coastal and urban floods). The model developed in this work results from the extension of a multi‐disciplinary project (AEROFIL) primarily sponsored by the European aerospace industries for development of a computer simulation package (Aircraft Cartridge Filter Analysis Modelling Program), which was successfully utilized and deployed for designing hydraulic dead‐end filters used in Airbus A380.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
