    Using the second law of thermodynamics the exergy photosynthetic biological hydrogen production system was analyzed by a white-box model.The results show that the yield of hydrogen was less and the exergy efficiencies of the system is 24.4%, and light losing is the biggest one in the total exergy losing which account for 64.4%. Factors that affect the light conversion efficiency was analyzed in the weak links of the system and the corresponding solutions were proposed. The aspects in system and the utilization of the effective energy were improved and a science reference for the process of the industrialization in the photosynthetic biological hydrogen production system were provided.

    The content of methyl gallate (MG) was determined by HPLC. The characteristic absorption of MG was determined by ultraviolet scanning and the wavelength of characteristic absorption was 279 nm. The results showed that relationship between peak area of MG and the content of sample solutions in definite range obey Lombard Beer's law. The measured values were analyzed by statistical method, and it obey the normal distribution. The standard deviation of measured values was 0.02% which was within the limit of requirements. Statistic analysis showed that the measured values from two laboratories using F test and t test had no significant difference, which demonstrated that the method for determination of MG had high precision and accuracy. The method appeared to be simple and quick, cheap and stable.

    A simple and convenient method on xylo-oligosaccharide product (XOS) quantitative determination was established based on dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis combined with high performance liquid chromatography (SAH-HPLC) detection. The protocol is as following:on HPLC system, the xylose content of XOS, the standard xylose and its hydrolysates was determined, and then total XOS content was calculated according to its xylose content changes, the xylose decomposition ratio and the conversion ratio of XOS to xylose during SAH. The optimum conditions for SAH step is at 6.0% sulfuric acid content and 100℃ for 60 min. The optimum conditions for HPLC detection step is at the lution rate of 0.6 mL/min with 0.005 mol/L sulfuric acid by the column Bio-Rad Aminex HPX-87H under 55℃, and the xylose content was quantitatively detected and calculated according to the external standard method and peak area integration. The repeatability and accuracy of the SAH-HPLC method was tested for some XOS product determination. The result showed the XOS content was 39.94% in the product at a good repeatability and accuracy and the standard deviation of 0.36%.

    Abstract ( 819 )   PDF (965KB) ( 929 )   Save
    The hydration kinetics of lyral synthesis using myrac aldehyde as raw materials was studied. Reaction conditions on reaction rate constant were investigated. The optimum conditions were identified:reaction temperature 338 K, initial concentration of myrac aldehyde 0.5346mol/L and the flow rate 3.58×10-3 m/s. Kinetic data of myrac aldehyde synthesis lyral were fitted based on homogeneous reaction model. A kinetics model was gained, -rA=1.26×107CACH2Oexp(-66670/RT)-3.68×106CBexp(-57939/RT). Activation energy of the positive reaction is Ea+ 66.670 kJ/mol, and the reverse reaction is Ea- 57.939 kJ/mol. Relative deviations between the calculated values and the experimental values were all below 5%, which showed that the kinetic model could preferably describe the hydration of lyral.

    The adsorption behavior of the bamboo-charcoal for Hg2+ and Pb2+ in mixed solution were studied. Experimental results shows that mercury and lead could were adsorbed synchronously by bamboo-charcoal. The bamboo-charcoal showed high adsorption ability for mercury and lead at a wide pH range(pH 3.2~6.2), The optimal adsorption acidity is pH 5.90 in HAc-NaAc medium. The equilibrium time of adsorption is 270 min. In certain conditions, adsorption capacity increased, but adsorption ratio decreased with increases in concentration of adsorbed ion in mixed solution, and adsorption capacity decreased, but adsorption ratio increased with increases in mass of absorbent. If the absorbent amount is appropriate, Hg2+ and Pb2+ in mixed solution could were removed complete. The adsorption behavior of the bamboo-carbon for Hg2+ and Pb2+ in mixed solution obeys the Freundlich isotherm model respectively.

    This paper comparatively analyzed ash contents, extractives, cellulose, lignin and etc., in total nine chemical components from epicarps of hickory, chestnut, and sasanqua to pine sawdusts and fir sawdusts, which are normal materials for machine-made charcoal briquettes. The conclusions are:the hickory epicarp is constrained in massive production of machine-made charcoal as a substitute of sawdust due to too much ash content(12.23%);the amont of extractives from the hickory epicarp and the chestnut epicarp, extrated by means of cold water extracting, hot water extracting, and 1% NaOH extracting separately, are all higher than that from pine sawdusts and fir sawdusts, which illustrates the epicarp contents more low-molecular pentosan and low-molecular lignin than that of pine and fir dust that the former is limited to replace the latter in producing machine-made charcoal in great number.

    Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was prepared using bio-butanol by-product as raw material. The effects of different processing methods of raw materials, alkali dosage, ether dosage and self-made additives on properties of CMC were discussed. The products were charaterized by Haake Rheometer Rheostress and FT-IR. The results showed that CMC excellent properties could be obtained with bio-butanol by-product from corn stalks or corncob hemi-cellulose, especially those bleaching with hydrogen peroxide but without a procedure of steam explosion treatment. The CMC had high viscosity when the alkali/etherifying agent in the amount of material than about 2.0. The CMC had high substitution degree when the alkali/etherifying agent in the amount of material than about 2.3. The CMC solution viscosity increased with the decrease of shear rate, it showed a strong shear dilution. The CMC had strong absorption peaks in 1500-1700 cm-1. It was also demonstrated that the additives could increase significantly the viscosity of CMC. The physical and chemical data of CMC were as follows:pH value 7.8-8.3;water content≤6.6%;viscosity (2%, 25℃)35-6300 mPa·s;substitution degree 0.65-1.16.
