Kinetics of Cd^2＋ and Cr^3＋ Sorption from Aqueous Solutions Using Mercaptoacetic Acid Modified and Unmodified Oil Palm Fruit Fibre（Elaeis guineensis） Adsorbents

In this paper, we mainly study the relation of two cyclically reduced words w and w ′on the condi- tion they have the same trace polynomial (i.e., tr w= trw ′). By defining an equivalence relation through such operators on words as inverse, cyclically left shift, and mirror, it is straightforward to get that w ~ w ′ implies tr w = tr w ′. We show by a counter example that tr w = tr w ′ does not imply w ~ w ′. And in two special cases, we prove that tr w = tr w ′ if and only if w ~ w ′.     

Biodegradation of the Oil Hydrocarbons in Wastewater with Immobilized Microbiological Activated Carbon

On the basis of laboratory-scale-tests, the method of using immobilized biological activated carbon (IBAC) was found to be an efficient method to treat oil wastewater. In this research, pilot-scale studies were conducted to investigate the optimal range of factors, such as oil concentration, and hydraulic retention time (HRT). 39 strains of bacteria were isolated from activated sludge of a petrochemical wastewater treatment plant. After being acclimated and identified, these bacteria were immobilized on granular activated carbon. The degradation of organic compounds was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectromtry(GC-MS). As the results show that when the oil concentration is lower than 50 mg/L and corresponding values of HRT are longer than 1.0 h, the removal rate of immobilized biological activated carbon column can stably reach at least 70%. In the field studies, electron microscope analyses show that the predominant bacteria have been changed from Pseudomonas and Bacillus at the beginning to Bacillus only after 60 days of continuous operation, which suggests that the method with immobilized biological activated carbon column is the one with higher efficiency than that of the secondary floatation tank traditionally used in oil wastewater treatment.     

A New Process Study on Comprehensive Utilization of NOx from Nitric Acid Plant

Based on studies of controlling NOx from nitric acid exhaust gas domestic and abroad, this paper has developed a new technique on removal of NOx and production of a by-product with high added value MnO2. Experiment shows, pyrolusite, whose valid composition is MnO2, of absorbing NOx has the following characteristics: quick, low cost, no secondary pollutant. Moreover, exhaust gas can attain the required standards. If the temperature of the pyrolusite serum is 30℃, pH=4, containing 90 g/L MnO2, the absorptivity for 3 000 mg/m^3 NOx is 89.2%. Furthermore,few of the impurities in pyrolusite dissolve in the absorption mother solution. The purification cost of product is very low.The purity of end product MnO2 is more than 99. 995% after purifying. Therefore, it is workable for the new technique on economy and technology. There are also obvious environmental benefits and marked economic returns.     

Electronic Absorption Spectra of Copper （ Ⅱ） Sulphophthalocyanine and Aggregation of the Dye in Aqueous Solution

Aggregation behavior of C.I. Direct Blue 86 was discussed using analyses of its UV-Vis spectra. The experiment results show that the dye molecules are inclined to aggregate in aqueous solution. Even in a very dilute solution of 0.050 μol/L, A618/A659 = 1. 239 8, showing that the dye monomers still coexist with its dimers. The strong aggregation trend may cause dye precipitates at a higher concentration, which is an important factor that should be considered in producing a formula of ink-jet inks containing the dye as a colorant.     

Characterization of Cu（Ⅱ） Ion Adsorption Behavior of the Polyacrylic Acid-Polyvinylidene Fluoride Blended Polymer

A blended polymer adsorbent prepared using acrylic acid and polyvinylidene fluoride was used to remove copper from aqueous solutions. The polymer was prepared using thermally induced polymerization and phase inversion. The blended polymer was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD）, environ- mental scanning electron microscopy （ESEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, and N2 adsorption/desorption experiments. The sorption data was fit to linearized adsorption isotherms of the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich （D-R） isotherms models. The batch sorption kinetics was evaluated using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetic reaction models. △H0 is greater than 0, AGo is lower than 0, and △S0 is greater than 0, which shows that the adsorption of Cu （Ⅱ） by the blended polymer is a spontaneous, endothermic process. The adsorption isotherm fits better to the Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetics model gives a better fit to the batch sorption kinetics. The adsorption mechanism is assumed to be ion exchange between the cupric ion and the carboxylic acid functional group of the blended polymer.

Swelling Behaviors of Polyaniline-Poly（Acrylic Acid） Hydrogels

Using poly（acrylic acid） （PAA） aqueous solution, NaOH aqueous solution, aniline （An） and ammonium persulfate （APS）, PAn-PAA hydrogels with a semi-interpenetrating structure connected by physical interlocks, chemical ion bonds and hydrogen bonds were prepared. The swelling properties of the hydrogels in solutions of different pH values （adjusted by adding NaOH or HCI） were studied. All the hydrogels prepared have similar swelling curves （the curves of equilibrium swelling ratio vs. pH value） and reach their maximum swelling at pH of 8 - 10. The maximum swelling ratio of the hydrogels is dependent on composition, including molecular weight of PAA, polymer content of the hydrogel, and molar ratios of AA to An, APS to An, and NaOH to AA, And the compositional dependence of the swelling capacity of PAn-PAA hydrogels was also studied.

Recovery Properties of Polysulfone Hollow Fiber Chelating Membrane Modified with Thiourea for Mercury （ Ⅱ ）

The adsorption isotherms of the polysulfone hollow fiber chelating membrane modified with thionrea as chelating groups for Hg^2＋ were determined. The effects of mobile phase conditions and the operating parameters on removal performance of the chelating membrane for Hg^2＋ were also investigated. The recovery of Hg^2＋ decreased at low pH and the optimum range of pH was from 6 to 7. The feed concentration effected on recovery of Hg^2＋ at the specified loading amount of Hg^2＋. The Hg^2＋ could be removed from different concentration feed solution by chelating membrane. The increase of feed flow rate led to slight decrease of recovery of Hg^2＋ at the specified loading amount of Hg^2＋. The chelating membrane could be operated at height feed flow rate and a large-scale removal of H^2＋ could be realized. With the increase of load amount, Hg^2＋ recovery decreased, but the saturation degree of chelating membrane increased. According to required recovery of H^2＋ and the saturation degree of chelating membrane, the optimum loading amount of Hg^2＋ should be selected in the actual removal of H^2＋.

Enzymatic Modification of Poly （ethylene terephthalate） Fiber with Lipase from Aspergillus oryzae

Lipase preparation from Aspergillus oryzae could act on ester bonds on the surface of poly （ethylene terephthalate） fibers and a possible hydrolytic product mono （2-hydroxyethyl） terephthalate was released. After the iipase modification, there were more carboxyi groups on the treated poly （ethylene terephthalate） fabric surface that resulted in binding with more cationic dyes. Increased hydrophilicity and antistatic ability of poly （ethylene terephthalate） samples were found based on moisture regain, water contact angle and static half decay time.
