As a typical multi-component polymer, impact polypropylene copolymer (IPC) experiences the phase structure evolution during repeated processing, and the coarsening of phase domain often occurs. In this work, two IPCs with different molecular weight of rubber phase were compared systemically. The evolution of IPC phase morphology and crystallization behavior after multiple extrusion were studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The materials mechanical properties were tested. Then the influence of rubber phase molecular weight on the phase morphology evolution and the properties after repeated extrusion were discussed in detail. It was found that for the IPC with low molecular weight of rubber phase, the size of rubber phase became smaller and dispersed more evenly with the increase of extrusion times; for the IPC with high molecular weight of rubber phase, the rubber phase size turned to unstable after multiple shearing. The rubber phase size had a complex effect on IPC mechanical properties.

With the increase in the speed of various aircraft and the demand for lightweight weapons and equipment, the demand for high-performance, high-temperature-resistant resin-based composite materials has become more urgent. The temperature resistance and molding process of composite materials are determined by the temperature resistance and manufacturability of the resin, so there is an urgent need to develop a resin that has both high temperature resistance and excellent process performance. The temperature resistance and processability of the resin are essentially determined by the molecular structure of the resin system. Therefore, in order to design a resin system with excellent heat resistance and processability, the relationship between molecular structure and performance must first be recognized. This paper collects a large amount of experimental data and preliminarily summarizes the influence of different molecular structures on the thermal performance and resin processability of resin polymers from the perspective of structure and performance. This provides a good experience and theoretical basis for the design of high-performance resin systems, providing references and ideas for related research.

Steel slag micro powder is steel slag after special process grinding, is a by-product in the process of steel production. This paper studied the basic mechanical properties and crack control ability through the compression strength test (0,8%, 14%, 20%) by compressive strength test and four-point bending test of thin plate. The results show that the inclusion of steel slag has a negative effect on the compressive strength of high toughness cement base composite and not against folding strength. When the steel slag powder reaches 20%, the test matrix can still show large toughness characteristics and crack control capacity.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used to adsorb low concentration erythromycin from natural water. The kinetic curves and adsorption isotherms were measured and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The effects of pH value, ionic strength and humic acid on the adsorption process were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption of carbon nanotubes to erythromycin was rapid in the first 40 min, and reached equilibrium within 200 min. The dynamics curve conforms to the quasi-second-order dynamics model. The Freundlich model can better fit the adsorption test data. Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption of Erythromycin by MWNTs is a spontaneous endothermic process. The adsorption activation energy Ea shows that the adsorption between MWNTs and erythromycin is a chemisorption process, and the content of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of CNTs determines the equilibrium adsorption amount. Ionic strength has obvious effect on adsorption. Increasing the pH value of the solution from 5 to 9 was beneficial to increasing the adsorption capacity of erythromycin. The adsorption capacity of carbon nanotubes to erythromycin was significantly increased with appropriate humic acid.

In order to obtain the natural frequency and vibration mode of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge with different parameters, the modal analysis of a double-span arch bridge with a total length of 257.4 meters and a full width of 31.8 meters is carried out. By controlling the three variables of concrete strength, steel tube thickness and the number of transverse braces in arch ribs, the regularity of the natural frequency and vibration mode of CFST arch bridge with different variables is discussed. The results show that with the increasing of the strength of concrete-filled steel tube in arch ribs, the fundamental frequency increases gradually. The vertical stiffness of the arch bridge is positively related to the thickness of the arch rib steel pipe. The fundamental frequency of the arch bridge can be improved by setting transverse brace, and the change of the number of transverse braces has a significant effect on the sixth-order natural frequency. It is limited for the arch bridge to improve the stiffness by changing the number of transverse braces. These can lay the foundation for the dynamic response analysis of the CFST arch bridge.

The mixed refrigerants have a great potential in the energy industry, while the micro-mechanism of evaporation of mixed refrigerants is still unclear. Therefore, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the evaporation of the R32, R1234yf and their mixture on the Pt surface at 230 K, 250 K and 350 K, respectively. The results indicate that the presence of R1234yf will suppress the evaporation of R32. The adsorption interaction between R32 and substrate is lower than that of R1234yf. The film boiling is found at high temperature evaporation. Meanwhile, the heat flux of the system decreases due to the heat transfer deterioration.

Sm-doped Ni-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully prepared via hydrothermal-assisted coprecipitation method. The structure and surface morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The electrochemical performance of the samples as prepared was measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). These results show that Sm-doped Ni-Al LDH exhibit higher specific capacitance 2177 F⋅g-1 at a current density of 1 A⋅g-1, compared with pure Ni-Al LDH with a specific capacitance 1312 F⋅g-1 at same current density.

Hydrotalcite inorganic fillers with different metal ratios were synthesized by coprecipitation method and hydrothermal method. The hydrotalcite inorganic fillers/polylactic acid composites (HT/PLA) were prepared by melt blending method. The mechanical properties, flame retardancy and thermal properties of the composites were investigated. The results show that HT inorganic filler was successfully prepared by coprecipitation method and it had typical HT structure. Compared with pure PLA, the impact strength and bending strength of HT/PLA composites decreased. The tensile strength, elongation at break, bending strength and tensile modulus of elasticity of the self-made M-Mg/Al-HT/PLA composite were better than those of the purchased C-Mg/Al-HT/PLA composite. The oxygen index of HT/PLA composites increased obviously, and the oxygen index of HT/PLA composites increased with the increase of the amount of HT. Different kinds of HT/PLA composites have different flame retardancy, and the order is Cu/Mg/Al-HT/PLA>Co/Mg/Al-HT/PLA>Ni/Mg/Al-HT/PLA>Mg/AlHT/PLA>Zn/Mg/Al-HT/PLA. The plasticity of HT/PLA composite is higher than that of pure PLA, and its thermal stability is better.

The operation performance of biofilm system is limited by the oligotrophic quality of source water, especially the bioavailable organics. In this study, two lab-scale biofilm reactors (R1 and R2) feeding different organic carbon sources (OCS) were built up using sediment in drinking water source as bacterial source. Experimental results showed that sediment in biofilm systems enhanced the NH4+-N removal performance. Using ethanol as OCS was more beneficial to the removal of NH4+-N with ammonia removal efficiency (ARE) of 87.0 ± 5.4%, which was higher and more stable than that of glucose with ARE of 83.9 ± 13.3%. Organic carbon source changed the bacterial structure in biofilm systems. The dominant phyla in biofilm under ethanol condition were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes with relative abundances (RA) of 29.1%, 32.7% and 22.0%, respectively. The dominant phyla in biofilm exposure to glucose was Proteobacteria with an RA of 63.4%. At genus level, Nitrospira, Lachnospiraceae, Arcobacter and Hyphomicrobium were dominant under ethanol condition (R1) with the total relative abundance of 20.5%. Sphaerotilus was the dominant genus under glucose condition (R2) with RA of 33.72%. These dominant bacteria were basically having the ability for the removal of nitrogen and organic matter.

In this paper, atmosphere plasma spray (APS) is used to prepare WC/Ni coating on 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel to enhance the wear resistance of materials of the axial-flow fan. The phase composition and microstructure of the spraying coating were analyzed, and the tribological properties of the coating were investigated through the ball-disk point contact sliding dry friction test. The results show that the spray powder is melting and spreading well by using nickel coated tungsten carbide powder as the spray powder combined with APS technology. The as-sprayed WC/Ni coating has a dense structure, slight oxidation. The hard phase tungsten carbide is evenly distributed and the interface of the bonding phase nickel is well combined with tungsten carbide. The microhardness of the coating cross-section can reach 655±90HV0.3. In the point contact wear test with high contact stress, tungsten carbide particles are pinned to the friction surface, which greatly improves the resistance to abrasive wear. The coating wear rate is only 2.42×10-6mm3⋅N-⋅m-1, and the anti-wear of the coating is about 136 times that of Inconel718 alloy under the same friction condition. The dry friction and wear mechanism of the WC/Ni coating are manifested as surface fatigue scale peeling. The large pieces of tungsten carbide particles are prevented from being pulled out and peeled because of the crushing of tungsten carbide particles and the bonding effect of nickel. And the anti-wear of the coating has not deteriorated due to fatigue during the high friction cycle.

Taking a 110 kV transmission line as the research object, a refined finite element model of three pole two line transmission tower line system is established.Considering collision and contact between a dropped wire and ground, nonlinear dynamic analyses of the system with different break points and different numbers of broken wires were performed. The results showed that the break point location has little effects on the impact action of broken wire; the tension decay coefficient of the broken wire decreases with increase in the height of the hanging point position, while that of the unbroken wire decreases first and then increases with increase in the height of the hanging point position. The initial pretension, wind direction angle and span of the cable are selected for parameter analysis. The influence of these parameters on the nonlinear dynamic stability critical load of the hollow mezzanine concrete pole line system is investigated.

The effects of different additives on mechanical properties of acrylic were studied by orthogonal test, using methyl methacrylate as raw material, concentration of initiator(azobisisobutyronitrile), plasticizer (Dibutyl Phthalate) and release agent(Stearic Acid) as the influence factors. The results show that: among the three additives, initiator is the most significant factor, which has the greatest impact on the mechanical properties of acrylic. With increasing of initiator content, the tensile strength of acrylic decreases. The effect of plasticizer and release agent on the mechanical properties of acrylic is relatively small. As the increase of plasticizer content, the tensile strength and bending strength decline. Finally, the best ratio of the three additives is initiator=0.06, plasticizer=3.0, release agent=1.0.

To assess the factors affecting the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in sauced pork, an orthogonal experiment about fat content, braising time and the number of braising times was designed, and the effects of common seasonings and seven Chinese spices on HAs formation were conducted. It was found that higher fat content, increasing braising time and the number of braising times would promote the formation of HAs. Sugar, salt and spices exhibited a reduction in HAs formation in sauced pork. 0.01% of clove could inhibit the formation of HAs by 36.21%. Notably, the inhibitory effect on HAs was significantly correlated with the concentration of spices.

The results indicate that, when a battery is over-charged, the battery's surface temperature increases first because of ohmic heat, and after that, internal short-circuit occurs, resulting in the battery experiencing thermal runaway. However, in the case of over-discharge, the battery's surface temperature rise is limited. Therefore, during actual use, attention needs to be paid so as to prevent a battery from over-charge.

The results show that the axial force of the GFRP anchor bolt decays fastest near the anchor head, and decreases with the increase of anchor depth The shear stress distribution is convex. With the increase of the drawing load, the shear stress peak will increase, and the influence range of the shear stress will also increase. With the increase of the load, the shear stress peak of the GFRP bolt and the anchor solid will shift to the position far away from the anchor head.

The rapid development of the economy of China leads to the significant growth of energy production and consumption demand. At present, the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions has ranked second in the world. To meet the challenges caused by global climate change and environmental pollution as well as realize the sustainable development of our country's economy, carbon neutrality should be achieved. As a new type of low-temperature fuel cell, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) attracts a lot of attention due to its safe and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, the operating efficiency of the current commercial PEMFC is rather low (about 50%), which means that about half of the energy will be released as thermal energy. The stable and reliable heat dissipation of the fuel cell has a decisive impact on its performance and life, i.e., thermal management issues are particularly important for the efficiency and stability of the PEMFC stack. This article reviews the thermal management of PEMFC and analyzes the specific applicable conditions of cooling methods as well as the latest developments in thermal management methods. Specifically, it focuses on the thermal characteristics of PEMFC and its effects on performance and life. Besides, the PEMFC thermal management schemes and control strategies under different cooling methods are also summarized.

Hydrophobic associating polymers show great potential in formulation of high-performance drilling fluids, due to their hydrophobic associative ability in high-temperature and high-salt conditions. Herein, a novel amphoteric polyacrylamide of poly(acrylamide/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid/methylacrylethyl trimethylammonium chloride) hydrophobically modified with epoxidized soybean oil denoted as PAADE was prepared and applied in water-based drilling fluid, and one without hydrophobic modification (PAAD) was also used for comparison. Compared with PAAD, PAADE displayed characteristic association behavior with a critical association concentration (CAC) of 0.3 w/v%, and a salt thickening phenomenon over 3 w/v% NaCl concentration. The impacts of PAADE and PAAD on rheological and filtration properties of bentonite-based drilling fluid (BTDF) were evaluated under different salinity. The fitted Herschel-Bulkley rheological parameters indicated that BTDF containing PAADE showed stronger yield stress, easier flowability and better salt resistance at a reasonable concentration below CAC. Meanwhile, PAADE largely reduced the fluid loss of BTDF before and after thermal aging at 150°C, showing high temperature tolerance. The addition of NaCl promoted larger reduction of filtration. The superior properties of PAADE in BTDF were revealed to be the competitive results of salt-induced hydrophobic association and inter-particles configuration transition. Moreover, the incorporation of epoxidized soybean oil improved the biodegradability of PAADE.

Functionalized α-GDY with – H, – F, and – N for different displacement distance were designed as promising membranes for separation CO2 from CH4 by using molecular dynamics simulations. The α-GDY were regulated to form suitable pore sizes by functionalization and displacement for separation CO2 from CH4. F-GDY membranes and displacement distance with 1/3 have ultralow CO2 selectivity over N2 of ~0, which indicate that no CO2 pass through F-GDY membranes and CO2 and CH4 were separated efficiently. Among these membranes, N-GDY with 1/3 displacement distance has highest permeance of 5.97 × 10-5 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 at 300 K. Relative concentrations distribution confirmed that almost CO2 molecules adsorbed the pore wall of membrane, CH4 distributed in the gas box and vacuum. The interaction energy between gas molecules and membrane was analyzed to elucidate the significant impact of functionalization on the selectivity of CO2 over CH4 and CH4 permeances passing through porous BN membranes.

In order to reveal the distribution characteristics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in freshwater aquaculture ponds, the microbial composition and antibiotic resistance gene types in the aquaculture environment were analyzed by using high-throughput and metagenomics sequencing technology. Our results showed that there were significant differences in the dominant bacteria composition in the water and sediment of aquaculture ponds. The dominant phylum in aquaculture water was Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidetes, while the phylum Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria were enriched in sediment. Compared with the comprehensive antibiotic research database (CARD), a total of 187 ARGs were identified, which were mainly multidrug, MLS and Tetracycline antibiotic resistance genes. There were 5 resistance mechanisms in the aquaculture environment, of which antibiotic efflux was the main resistance mechanism. Correlation analysis between ARGs and microbes showed that the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria and Chloroflexi significantly affected the abundance of major resistance genes. This study is of great significance to protect the micro-environment of aquaculture ponds and control the pollution and spread of ARGs.

In the process of oil and gas development, the perfect reservoir damage evaluation method is an important condition to realize the economical and efficient development of the reservoir. At present, great progress has been made in the exploration of tight oil and gas. However, due to the characteristics of low porosity, low permeability and low water saturation of tight sandstone gas reservoirs, conventional reservoir damage evaluation methods are not applicable to it, and no systematic evaluation method has been formed yet. The damage evaluation methods of tight sandstone gas reservoirs mainly include the steady-state method and the unsteady-state method. The steady-state method is mainly the high temperature and high back pressure method, while the unsteady-state methods are the pressure attenuation method and the pressure transmission method which are widely applicable. Visualization technology, microfluidic technology, flow rate evaluation method and recovery evaluation method are the new methods to evaluate reservoir damage, which are in the further research. This paper summarizes the research progress of reservoir damage evaluation methods for tight sandstone gas reservoirs, analyzes the main evaluation methods, experimental equipment and improvement measures, and points out the problems that need to be paid attention to and solved, in order to provide reference for efficient and accurate evaluation of reservoir damage in tight sandstone gas reservoirs.

With the significant increase in the amount of natural uranium mining in various countries around the world, a large amount of waste rocks are piled up in the tailings pond. If the uranium-containing wastewater is not treated, it will bring serious environmental problems. After related experiments in the laboratory, it is measured that the adsorption rate of high-tech products-MOF-808 material to uranium ions can reach 97% (the optimal pH=7.0, and the optimal dosage is 0.2mg/L). It can be used as a good adsorption material. Based on the high-efficiency selective adsorption of this material to uranium, a set of equipment using MOF-808 was designed in this paper. This device adopts improved intermittent processing, high integration and automation level, and small floor space.

Although ceramic-based oxygen transport membranes (OTMs) have irreplaceable advantages over traditional oxygen production technologies, their oxygen permeability and stability need to be further improved. Based on the theoretical starting point of increasing the three-boundary reaction zone and reducing blocking effect, a set of new dual-phase membranes 75wt%Ce0.8Sm0.1Cu0.1O2-δ-25wt%-Sm0.8Sr0.2Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (CSC-8282) and 75wt%Ce0.8Sm0.1Cu0.1O2-δ-25wt%Sm0.3Sr0.7Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (CSC-3782) with different strontium contents were prepared by a one-pot sol-gel method ensuring that each element has the same chemical potential. The surface morphology, crystal structure and element distribution are systematically studied by SEM, XRD and EDS, which confirms that the synthesized membranes have an obvious dual-phase structure and excellent compactness. The results of the oxygen permeability experiment show that the oxygen permeability of CSC-3782 is always higher than that of CSC-8282 under any conditions due to the inducing effect of strontium on oxygen vacancies, and flow rate of CSC-3782 at 960°C reached 0.64 and 0.22mL⋅cm-2⋅min-1 for He and CO2 as a sweep gas, respectively. The final long-term stability test confirmed that the dual-phase composite membrane with great prospects for development has high temperature stability and CO2-tolerant property, and the doping of strontium to A-site of perovskite contributes to the improvement of its performance.

In order to study the rock thermal cracking law of the roof rock in the combustion zone of underground coal gasification under the special condition of unidirectional heating, the PFC particle flow software was used to carry out the numerical simulation of thermal-mechanical coupling. The uniaxial compression experiment was used to complete the PFC parameter calibration, establish a mechanical model, and compare the results of the unidirectional heating test with the simulation results. It was found that the relationship between the temperature at the measuring point, the thermal stress and the heating time of the two is very similar. It shows that the simulation results are highly accurate. The simulation results are as follows: when the model is at 450°C and 600°C, larger-scale cracks are formed and the second larger-scale crack evolution occurs; acoustic emission simulation can be divided into three stages: the first peak stage, the energy accumulation stage, and the second stage. In the second peak stage; the number of model cracks increases with the increase in temperature, and the shear cracks are the main ones, indicating that the model will expand laterally after being subjected to thermal stress, mainly occurring shear failure.

Two new combined technologies, reverse osmosis (RO) + electrodeionization (EDI) and reverse osmosis (RO) + ion exchange (IE), were studied for simultaneous desalination and boron removal of seawater. The results show that the RO system has excellent desalination performance under the experimental conditions, and can provide stable desalination rate for the subsequent processes of the two combined schemes. The boron concentration in water has little effect on the desalination rate of RO system, and the boron removal rate of RO system is between 47% and 50%, which provides a good early treatment for the subsequent process. The blank experiment shows that the salinity has little effect on the boron removal rate of RO-EDI equipment, and the boron removal rate is more than 93%, which has excellent and stable boron removal performance, but the water yield of RO-EDI equipment is low (less than 60%). The RO-IE system has a high water yield (> 70%), but the equipment has poor adaptability to influent boron concentration and salinity. The results of effluent water show that the boron concentration of raw water by RO-EDI combined process can be adapted to a wider range, and the influence of salinity is less. Considering comprehensively, RO-EDI process has more advantages and broad application prospects.

The aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process has been regarded as a promising sewage treatment technology. Compared with the activated sludge process, AGS process has the advantages of high efficiency and saving space. However, AGS process has several limitations in its application such as long cultivation cycle and easy disintegration. In this study, Fe2+ was added to the wastewater to cultivate AGS. The improvement on the cultivation of AGS with the addition of Fe2+ was investigated by analyzing the characteristics of AGS and the removal efficiency of pollutants. The results showed that adding Fe2+ (3~5 mg/L) to the reactor could effectively promote the formation of AGS. The sludge particles could be granulated within 7 days with the average particle size of more than 0.35 mm. In addition, the SEM showed that the dominant microorganisms were coryneform bacteria inside of the AGS. The XRD results indicates that the Fe2+ was converted into Fe2O3 presenting in AGS. The mixed liquid suspended solids (MLSS) and the sludge volume index at 30 min (SVI30) was 3.1 g/L and 40 mL/g, respectively, at the 40th day. The COD and NH4+-N were effectively removed by AGS.

MgO nanoparticles (MgO NPs) were obtained by a simple hydrothermal-calcination method. The influence of three different surfactants on the surface morphology, particle size and antibacterial performance of MgO NPs was investigated. The SEM results indicated that compared with using benzoic acid and citric acid, the MgO sample has more regular flake morphology and well dispersion, moreover, its particle size has more small and uniform when EDTA-2Na was used as the surfactant. The colony-forming unit count and optical density (OD) measurement results suggested that MgO NPs prepared using EDTA-2Na had the best antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), which might be originated from the small particle size and low aggregation. Our study demonstrated that using proper surfactant was a key way during the synthesis process to control the size and morphology of MgO NPs and enhance its antibacterial efficiency, and this way was expected to be applied to other inorganic antibacterial agents.

The ammonium salts and organic salts are the important components of atmospheric aerosols. The reaction between the two salts will cause the release of NH3, hence, affecting the budget of NH3 in the atmosphere. Furthermore, the equilibrium partitioning of NH3 in the gas and particle phases plays a key role in the evolution of chemical composition and size of fine atmospheric particles. In this work, the chemical composition evolution processes of mixed particles consisting of four different organic acid salts (sodium oxalate (SO), sodium malonate (SM), sodium succinate (SS), sodium pyruvate (SP)) with ammonium nitrate (AN) were measured by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The release of NH3 were gained by monitoring the changes in the absorbance of NH4+ in mixed organic acid salts/AN particles under 70% relative humidity (RH). After 127 minutes, the remaining ammonium content in the four mixed aerosols was 84.2%, 71.6%, 57.1%, and 28.7% for SO, SM, SS, and SP mixed with AN, respectively, which is lower than that in pure AN aerosol (97%). This study may help to further understand the conversion process between organic salts and AN in the atmosphere, as well as the NH3 cycles in the atmosphere.

In this study, two S0 particle packed reactors were constructed to explore the influence of alkalinity content on S0-based autotrophic denitrification (SAD) with nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptors respectively. As a result of the comparative experiment, when the alkalinity of influent is sufficient (HCO3-: NO3- mole ratio > 1.5:1), NO3--N and NO2--N reactor both showed high removal efficiency. But when the HCO3-: NO3- mole ratio decreased to 0.2:1, the average removal rate of NO3--N decreased to 31%, and NO2--N average removal rate still maintained at 95%. Based on the results, the reduction of alkalinity can significantly reduce the nitrate removal efficiency, but has little effect on the nitrite removal efficiency. This study further explained the characteristics of alkalinity consumption of the two stage of SAD and may provide a reference for future research.

The contents of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Pb and Cd in standard soil for composition (GBW07403) and two soil samples were determined by XRF and ICP-MS, respectively. The results showed that XRF had higher precision than ICP-MS in the determination of seven metals in standard soil, but the relative errors of Ni, As and Cd were larger, up to -33%~22.7%. XRF and ICP-MS were used to determine contents of seven kinds of heavy metals in 2 soil samples, respectively. Both methods had high precision. F test showed that there was no significant difference in precision between the two methods except for Cd in No.2 soil. The t test showed that there were significant differences by the two methods for the determination of other heavy metals except for Cd and Cu (P ≤0.05). Although the method of XRF was fast and simple, its accuracy and comparison with other experimental methods need to be further studied due to the sample matrix effect.

This study proposed a multi-stage dual swirl burner for heating furnaces to achieve low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions based on swirling combustion and staging combustion technology. The effect of excess air coefficient on combustion characteristics and NOx emissions was studied by numerical simulation. The flow field, temperature field, oxygen concentration, and the NOx concentration distributions of the burner were discussed and analysed in detail. The simulated results showed that two recirculation zones for entrained flue gas formed in the reaction process by swirl blades. Meanwhile, increasing the excess air coefficient can improve the fuel/air mixing rate and diffusion effect in the combustion chamber, reducing the maximum combustion temperature and NOx emissions. Furthermore, when the excess air coefficient increased from 1.1 to 1.4, the maximum flame temperature was reduced from 1918.3 K to 1819.6 K, and the mole fraction of NOx at the outlet decreased from 1.67×10-6 to 0.77×10-6, which revealed the potential of the burner for the clean combustion.

H2S is an endogenous gaseous signal molecule with cell protective function, which plays a critical part in many physiological and pathological processes. On the one hand, abnormal fluctuations of the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the human body are closely related to diseases such as Down's syndrome, Alzheimer's, diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver. On the other hand, acts as an antioxidant in the body, hydrogen sulfide can protect cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Therefore, it is indispensible to detect hydrogen sulfide in living organisms. A fluorescent probe—NX-H2S, was constructed using azide group as the recognition group and naphthalimide as the framework. The spectroscopic properties of the probe were explored comprehensively. The experiment results show that NX-H2S exhibits not only a fast response (5 min) but also excellent sensitivity and selectivity toward H2S. In addition to the rapid detection of H2S in vitro, NX-H2S can also be successfully applied to the fluorescence imaging analysis of endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells.

In order to investigate the dynamic characteristics of I-shaped novel simply-supported beams with the upper flange of rectangular high-strength concrete filled steel tube (RHCFST), the modal analysis of 16 simply-supported beams is conducted by ANSYS finite element software. The first order frequencies of the specimen beams are obtained in the Y direction. Based on the concentrated mass method, the frequencies of the specimens are theoretically calculated. By comparison the maximum error of the first-order frequency is 3.80%, which is in good agreement and can meet the precise requirements of practical engineering. The result shows that the first three order vibration modes of the specimen are consistent with the theoretical vibration modes. For the first-order vibration mode, the proportion of the effective mass to the total mass of the specimen is 79.2 % in the Y direction. Therefore, the first-order vibration mode in Y direction should be mainly taken into consideration for this type of beams during the structural design.

The widespread research for lithium metal anodes (LMA) has been rapidly developed in recent years. However, undesirable dendritic structures generated in the process of unstable lithium (Li) deposition dramatically restricts the cycle life of LMA. The skeleton structure of the three-dimensional (3D) host substrates are the potential promising host for Li, which can alleviate volume expansion during cycling. Herein, we propose a facile surface modification approach through ion sputtering, which can effectively regulate the lithiophilic properties of Cu foam (CF) for facilitating Li deposition. Au modified surface can enhance the lithiophilic property of substrates and induce uniform Li deposition along the conductive skeleton. Further analysis of results, substrate with Au coating modified surface exhibits a smaller Li nucleation overpotential (12 mV), a more stable coulombic efficiency (CE) at different current densities, and more uniform morphology of Li deposition with dendrite-free at large capacity of 4 mAh cm-2. Meanwhile, symmetric cells with Au coating on CF can stably operate more lifespan than other samples. Furthermore, full cells paired with LiFePO4 cathodes and CF coated Au exhibit remarkable discharge capacities and capacity retention than others. This work provides new insights toward developing excellent 3D skeleton with modified surface for dendrite-free LMA.

In this work, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)(PPTA) fiber was modified by catechol and tetraethylenepentamine through Michael addition and Schiff base reaction. Then the silver-coated PPTA fiber was prepared by electroless plating. The SEM images showed that the phenolic hydroxyl group of catechol has a strong adhesion effect and a metal binding ability, which can make the silver particles tightly coated on the surface of PPTA fiber. The XPS and XRD results indicate that the Ag on the surface of the PPTA fiber is elemental silver, and there is no diffraction peaks of silver halide and silver oxide. The resistivity of the silver-coated PPTA fiber prepared with the deposition time of 2h has reached 0.1m^cm. This highly conductive PPTA/Ag fiber can be used in the field of flexible conductive materials and electromagnetic shielding clothing.

At present, the high voltage bushing composite insulator is widely used in AC/DC system substation, and its structural parameters show the nonlinear growth trend with the increase of voltage level. Therefore, in 1000kV UHVAC and 800kV UHVDC system, bushing composite insulator has the typical characteristics of long insulation distance and large radial diameter. At present, with the proposal of high-voltage power equipment compact optimization design scheme, the radial diameter of the composite insulator for bushing can be effectively reduced by reasonable design of internal capacitor core or metal shield structure optimization design scheme, so as to realize its large aspect ratio compact design. On the other hand, the insulation distance of high voltage bushing composite insulator will be further increased when it is applied in high altitude area. The innovation of this paper is how to carry out flashover voltage test to fill the current test data gap. In view of this, this paper first establishes two typical structures of the high voltage bushing composite insulators, including the three-dimensional finite element models of the composite insulators for capacitive core converter transformer bushing and the double-layer metal shield through the wall bushing, obtains the distribution characteristics of typical voltage and electric field under the operating state, and analyzes the local high field strength and corona, the electric field distribution of composite insulators for bushing. Furthermore, the actual flashover tests between large fittings air metal grounding body and large fittings composite insulator metal grounding body are carried out in the laboratory environment, and the quantitative relationship curve between flashover voltage and space net distance is obtained. Based on the above theoretical analysis and test data, the size altitude correction and umbrella skirt contour topology optimization of composite insulator for the UHV AC/DC bushing are carried out. Finally, the DC withstand voltage test and one minute power frequency withstand voltage test are passed, which proves the rationality and effectiveness of the design of composite insulator for bushing at UHV level. In this paper, starting from the typical electric field distribution characteristics of all kinds of composite insulators for bushing, the flashover law is studied for the first time, and the flashover test is carried out in the laboratory to supplement the classical test data. The research results have good theoretical and practical significance for installation, design and operation maintenance of all kinds of composite insulators.
