Vehicle exhaust seriously pollutes urban air and harms human health. Photocatalytic technology can effectively degrade automobile exhaust. This work prepared g-C3N4/CeO2 photocatalytic material by constructing heterojunctions. Four kinds of g-C3N4/CeO2 composite photocatalytic materials with different mass ratios were prepared. An indoor exhaust gas purification test was carried out under natural light and ultraviolet light irradiations. The optimum mass ratio of g-C3N4 material and CeO2 material was determined by evaluating the exhaust gas degradation effective. Moreover, the structure and morphology of the g-C3N4/CeO2 composite were investigated with microscopic characterization experiments (including XRD, TG-DSC, FT-IR, UV-Vis, SEM and XPS). The results obtained were that the optimum mass ratio of g-C3N4 material to CeO2 material was 0.75. The degradation efficiencies under ultraviolet irradiation in 60 min for HC, CO, CO2, NOX were 7.59%, 12.10%, 8.25% and 36.82%, respectively. Under visible light conditions, the degradation efficiency in 60 min for HC, CO, CO2 and NOX were 15.88%, 16.22%, 10.45% and 40.58%, respectively. This work is useful for purifying automobile exhaust in the future.

The two major problems that have plagued urban underground roads since their introduction are the harmful emissions caused by hot mix paving and vehicle exhaust accumulation during operation. In order to solve these two problems at the same time, a new asphalt mixture degrading automobile exhaust, which has the advantage of cold mix and cold-application, was presented and studied. A considerable amount of research shows that the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) for pavements has received considerable attention in recent years to improve air quality near large metropolitan areas. However, the proper method of applying TiO2 to asphalt pavements is still unclear. The new mixture presented in this article contains epoxy emulsified asphalt as the binder; therefore, how to apply TiO2 in the special asphalt mixture proves to be the main focus. By experimental design, four influence factors on the photocatalytic effect, which are the nano-TiO2 particle sizes, dosage, degradation time, and light intensity, have been investigated. The experimental results showed that the 5-nm particle size of TiO2 is better than 10–15 nm for exhaust gas degradation, especially for HC and NO; with an increase in the amount of photocatalytic material, the degradation of CO and CO2 in the exhaust gas did not increase obviously, while the degradation effects of HC and NO were remarkable; in the 4-h time extended degradation test, the experimental data show that the extended time has little effect on the degradation rate of CO2 and CO, and the general trend is that the degradation of exhaust became significant with the extension of time; while setting a 2-h NO degradation rate as an indicator, to make the index more than 50% or 25%, the average illumination of the road surface cannot be less than 60 lx or 40 lx.

Abstract REMANIT 4509 was developed specially for silencers and exhaust gas purification plants. Due to its composition, this steel exhibits scale resistance up to 950 C and a high degree of corrosion resistance to the gases occurring in the exhaust system. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-613. Producer or source: Thyssen Stahl AG.

Ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) is an excellent source of hydrogen(19.6 wt %) for fuel cell applications. In this paper, pure ammonia borane is successfully prepared by using amino complex for ammonia complex Ag(NH3)2Cl as new ammonia source, and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as boron source. The composition and constitution of the products are measured by XRD and FT-IR. The thermolysis of ammonia borane is significant for its practical application. Boric acid plays a role in improving ammonia borane hydrogen performance. The effects of different mass ratio of boric acid and ammonia borane on dehydrogenation are tested by XRD, TG/DTA and TPD-MS. The results show that boric acid can decrease the first level dehydrogenation temperature of ammonia borane decrease to about 85°C (working temperature of PEMFC). What’s more, the onset temperature of AB’s thermolysis can decrease to about 60°C when the mass ratio of ammonia borane and boric acid is equal to 3:1. This makes ammonia borane be more suitable for the application in on-board hydrogen storage system.

Objectives : The effects of temperatures of supplied air and exhaust gas on moisture removal in the bio-drying process of sewage sludge were assessed by simulating the process. We also suggested performance and efficiency indicators for moisture removal in this process and identified their effectivity.Methods : The bio-drying process of sewage sludge was simulated by mathematical modeling of heat and mass balance under different combinations of supplied-air temperatures and control ranges of exhaust gas temperatures. The simulation results were analyzed by using some indicators for assessing the performance and efficiency of moisture removal.Results and Discussion : While BVS (biodegradable volatile solid) degradation was inhibited at a higher supplied-air temperature and a lower control range of exhaust gas temperature, moisture reduction was enhanced at the supplied-air temperature nearer to ambient and the controlled exhaust gas temperature for 45 to 50℃. The drying performance could be improved by the utilization of both metabolic heat and convective heat from hot supplied-air for the source of heat necessary for moisture removal. We suggested the moisture removal rate as a performance indicator, and both the moisture removing capacity of supplied-air and the mass ratio of moisture removal to BVS degradation as an efficiency indicator. We identified that this mass ratio could be an alternative for thermal efficiency of drying.Conclusions : It is effective to control the air-flow rate to keep the exhaust gas temperature within 45~50℃ during bio-drying of sewage sludge in terms of drying performance and efficiency. It is expected that a specified range or minimum required value for the performance and efficiency indicators in the bio-drying process which suggested in this study needs to be established.
