Effect of Adsorption of Metal Elements Ni and V on the Structure of Humin by Yin YU, Peng XIA, Yi ZHONG, Shitan NING, Ke WANG, Jianping CHENG

“…The dried samples (numbered as HM-Ni and HM-V) and the original humin sample (numbered HM) are analyzed by element analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectroscopy (13C-NMR).RESULTSThe results show that the elemental composition of humin is mainly C and O. After the action of Ni and V metal solutions, the relative contents of O and S elements in humin decrease, and the relative contents of C and N elements increase. …”

Simulation of mixed flow characteristics of distiller′s grains-wastewater for anaerobic fermentation by Beibei YAN, Xiaoyun LIU, Shengquan ZHOU, Guanyi CHEN, Ziqiang ZHANG, Yonggang ZHANG

“…The simulation results showed that the slurry inside the curved blade at the top of the rotor reached a maximum velocity of 48.06 m/s and gradually decreased to zero along the radial direction. Due to the rotor's high-speed rotation, a high-pressure zone and a low-pressure zone were formed on each side of the rotor, with a maximum working pressure of 0.306 MPa. …”
