    Influence of specific surface area of super-high specific-surface-area activated carbon on adsorption storage of natural gas was studied under the condition of the same mesoporous distribution. The results showed that high specific-surface-area was advantageous for storage of the adsorbed natural gas. Adsorption amount of natural gas evidently depends on the pressure and temperature for activated carbon with high specific-surface-area. The adsorption amount of natural gas under low pressure(<3.5MPa) follows the exponential equation. The adsorption amount of natural gas increases with the increment of the pressure and it abides to the linear equation when pressure is higher than 3.5MPa. At 273K and 9.0MPa, natural gas desorption amount increased 25.5% when the specific surface area increased 23.7% for same pore size distribution of activated carbon, while the natural gas desorption amount reached 1 248.4mL/g when the specific surface area reached 3 348m2/g.

    The present work deals with the protection of Bambusa arundinacea against fire, fungi and termites by treatment with different compositions of fire retardants and the eco-friendly preservative ZiBOC. Bamboo culms splits treated with 6 compositions at 15% mass fraction respectively were subjected to three tests, viz: flame penetration, flammability and rate of burning as per Indian Stan-dard. Compositions of: 1.ammonium sulphate+ammonium phosphate+ZiBOC; 2.ammonium sulphate+ZiBOC; 3.ammonium phosphate+ZiBOC; 4.magnesium phosphate+magnesium pyrophosphate + ZiBOC; 5.magnesium phosphate+ZiBOC and 6.magnesium pyrophosphate+ZiBOC at 15% mass fraction were used. Retentions of different chemical compositions, under test, in bamboo were in the range of 9-11.5kg/m3. Decay test against Trametes versicolor(white rot) exhibited that compositions 2, 3, 5 and 6 imparted significantly high protection(up to 95%;p<0.05) to bamboo blocks against white rot as compared to control. Approximately 43%-67% protection could be achieved to bamboo, treated with different compositions, over control, against Oligoporus placentus(brown rot). All specimens treated by compositions 2-6 were completely protected against termite after the 1st and the 2nd seasons of exposure except composition 4, where very slight attack of termite was seen after the 2nd season while control specimens were badly damaged. A few compositions had remarkable contribution toward protection of samples against fire.

    Abstract ( 722 )   PDF (973KB) ( 1493 )   Save
    Activated carbons of China fir(Cunninghamia lanceolata) wood origin were prepared from phosphoric acid activation in atmospheres of air, nitrogen and steam respectively, and the effects of the properties of activated carbon on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue were investigated. Porous texture of activated carbon was analyzed based on the nitrogen adsorption isotherms. Surface functional groups were determined by the Boehm method, and the adsorption isotherms of methylene blue on the activated carbons were measured. The results show that activated carbon with more developed porosity has higher adsorption capacity of methylene blue. Surface functional groups on activated carbons, especially strong acid groups, play two roles in adsorbing methylene blue. Surface functional groups facilitate the arrangement of methylene blue molecules at a more compact way on activated carbon and thus produce a positive effect on the adsorption of methylene blue. On the other hand, they can screen to some degree parts of pores that are originally accessible to methylene blue molecules and thus suppress the adsorption. Consequently, an increased concentration of surface functional groups may produce an increase in the adsorption capacity of methylene blue for the activated carbon with developed mesopores because the former role predominates, on the contrary, a decrease for the microporous activated carbon because the latter role predominates.

    Method of response surface analysis(RSA) was used for optimizing the homogenated extraction of magnolol and honokiol from Magnolia officinalis. Ethanol volume fraction, extracting time and liquid to material ratio were selected as factors based on single-factor test and a three-factor-three-level experiment design has been developed by the method of Box-Benhnken central composite design. The optimal extraction conditions were determined by the experiment of RSA. The results showed that homogenated extraction was an efficient method to extract magnolol and honokiol from M.officinalis. The optimized conditions were as follows: volume fraction of ethanol 92%, extraction time 71s, liquid/solid ratio 35:1(mL:g) and particle size 1.7mm. Under these optimum conditions, the actual extraction rate of total phenolic was 20.10mg/g(13.96mg/g of magnolol and 6.14mg/g of honokiol), matching with the predicted extraction rate of 20.32mg/g.
