These DF materials usually have a small single-triplet splitting （AEsT）, and the nonradiative triplet excitons （75%） can be converted into radiative singlet excitons via thermally promoted reverse intersystem crossing （RISC） processes,展开更多

The prediction of theoretical breakthrough profiles using Bohart and Adams sorption model was employed to achieve characteristic parameters such as depth of exchange zone, time required for exchange zone to move vertically, moving rate for the exchange zone and adsorption capacity useful for fixed-bed column reactor was investigated under varying operating conditions. The effects of bed depth and flow rate on iron(II) adsorption were studied. Our finding revealed that the Brick from Bangui Region (in Central African Republic), coated with ferrihydrite was a very efficient media for the removal of Fe(II) ions from water. The experimental data showed that the depth and the moving rate (10.3 ± 0.6 cm) and (0.208 ± 0.006 cm/min) respectively of the exchange zone (adsorption zone) were independent of variability of the height of the adsorbent bed column, however the variations of the flow rate affect the moving rate of the exchange zone. The bed depth service time (BDST) model was used and permitted us to predict the service times of columns operated at various flow rates and bed depths and these predicted values were compared with the experimental values.展开更多

The present study investigates the removal of contaminants specific for landfill leachates onto zeolite-sand mixtures containing 20%, 50% and 80% of zeolite （ZS20, ZS50 and ZS80）. Taking into account the results of batch tests it was concluded that the Langmuir isotherm best fitted the data. It was observed that the presence of ammonium, calcium and magnesium decreases the removal efficiency of copper by 32%. Column tests of contaminant migration through the attenuation zone of the reactive materials were interpreted using the software package CXTFIT, which solves a one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation. Column test results also indicate the strong influence of the presence of interfering substances on copper immobilisation; dynamic sorption capacities decrees twofold. Throughout the landfill leachate flow through ZS80 sample, a constant reduction of NH＋4 （at 100%）, K＋ （at 93%） and Fe total （at an average of 86%） were observed. There was no reduction in chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand.展开更多

It also presented a call on the project International cooperation. The main aim of this paper is to attract attention of General Motors, Toyota and/or other large car companies to a real possibility of developing and using, in the nearest future, of the break-through hydrogen on-board storage technology based on the solid H2 intercalation into graphite nanostructures.展开更多

It is the longest double track railway tunnel in China and takes the third place in the world. According to the design, the break-through error in vertical direction caused by the al- timetric control surveying is limited to 18mm for the case of one piercing face. Because the leveling route reaches over 120km in length and must go over two mountains in 2 800m height, the first-order precise leveling and precise gravity measurement should be carried out in the construction stage. In this paper the field leveling approach, the application of new technology,some experience as well as the office calculation with final results analysis are in- troduced. By meticulous planning, organization and observation, the final accuracy of vertical difference between two tunnel end points is only 8mm, and it provides reliable surveying guarantee for this great tunnel engineering. Finally it is pointed out that this vertical differ- ence distinguishes obviously from the primary measurement result as high as 114mm. It means that the primary result is not accurate enough.展开更多
