Co-treatment of industrial air streams using A.O.P. and adsorption processes by P. Monneyron, A. De La Guardia, M. H. Manero, E. Oliveros, M. T. Maurette, F. Benoit-Marquié

“…Scanning Electronic Microscopy observations linked to BET and adsorption equilibrium measurements of two VOC (1-butanol or BuOH and methyl-ethyl-ketone or MEK) showed that TiO2 happened to fix on the inert binder, without significant modification of support properties. A specific diffusion cell was used to produce dilute polluted air streams for each VOC in dynamic experiments, in which adsorption and photodegradation phases were alternatively carried out. …”

Research on Reservoir Emergency Dispatching under Sudden Water Pollution Incident——A Case Study of Hongshui River in the Upper Reaches of the Pearl River by BIAN Kaixuan, HUANG Qiang, YANG Yuanyuan, LIU Dengfeng, LIU Dong, HAN Zhiming, WAN Xin

“…It is extremely important to study the movement and diffusion process of water pollutants andthe countermeasures for sudden water pollution incident in this basin for water supply security.Assuming that an emergency event of substandard sewage discharging occurs approximately 12 kmdownstream of Longtan Reservoir (in Tian'e County, Guangxi) during the dry season, this paperformulates a reservoir emergency dispatching plan set, and simulates the movement process ofpollutants by the water quality model in the EIAW11 software package, and the concentration changeprocess of pollutants with different concentrations (taking BOD as an example)under differentdownstream sections and different river flows. …”

MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF RESISTANCE SPOT BRAZING JOINT OF ULTRA-THIN AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL by TANG Lun, YU ShengFu, WANG Jie

“…The results show that the resistance spot brazing joint is composed of the brazing zone, the thermomechanical affected zone and the base material; With the increase of welding current and electrode pressure, the thickness of the brazing zone decreases and the dynamic recrystallization degree of the thermomechanical affected zone increases; The high cooling rate inhibits the element diffusion between the brazing joint and the base metal, the phases of the brazing joint are nickel based solid solution and dispersively distributed fine Cr₂B and Ni₃B particles, the maximum shear resistance of the joint is 118.3 N; The maximum load pressure of the package element reaches 0.53 MPa, which indicates that the resistance spot brazing joint of ultra-thin austenitic stainless steel has excellent air tightness.…”

Welche Touristen und welche touristischen Praktiken während der Olympischen Spiele? by Delaplace Marie, Schaffar Alexandra

“…Die wissenschaftliche Literatur relativiert diese jedoch und verweist auf die Möglichkeit eines Verdrängungseffekts: Einige Touristen wenden sich vom Reiseziel ab, weil sie Überlastungserscheinungen oder steigende Preise für Unterkünfte erwarten. Darüber hinaus kann man annehmen, dass die an den Olympischen Spielen interessierten Touristen durch bestimmte Merkmale und Praktiken gekennzeichnet sind. …”

Lie symmetry analysis of bio-nano-slip flow in a conical gap between a rotating disk and cone with Stefan blowing by Hamadneh Nawaf N., Uddin Mohammed Jashim, Khan Waqar, Tanjila Rubina, Tamanna Nadia, Jaber Jamil J.

“…This type of flow problem is used in some devices in medical sciences, such as viscosimeters and conical diffusers. The 3-D flow of a bio-nanofluid within the gap of a CDS is examined for the four selected arrangements: (i) rotating cone with stationary disk, (ii) rotating disk with stationary cone, (iii) co-rotation of cone and disk, and (iv) counter-rotation of cone and disk. …”

Improvement in Carbonation Resistance of Portland Cement Mortar Incorporating γ-Dicalcium Silicate by Zhengxin Chen, Yunsu Lee, Hyeongkyu Cho, Hanseung Lee, Seungmin Lim

“…In this study, γ-dicalcium silicate (γ-C2S) was incorporated into ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to sequester CO2 to enhance the carbonation resistance of cement-based composite materials. γ-C2S can react with CO2 rapidly to form vaterite and high dense SiO2 gel which could block the pores off and then inhibit further diffusion of CO2 into the system. Cement mortar specimens containing 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40% γ-C2S as cement replacement were prepared. …”
