Using an available computer program Pollute V6.3, the effective diffusion coefficients of K^＋ of the soils were back-calculated from the diffusion tests. It is found that the Ariake clay has a larger effective diffusion coefficient than the Akaboku soil, indicating that the Ariake clay may provide a better diffusion barrier. A comparison of the effective diffusion coefficients between the single-salt solution condition and the multi-salt solution condition indicates that soils have higher effective diffusion coefficients under the former condition. It is suggested to use miscible solution close to landfill leachates for determining effective diffusion coefficients of specified chemical species for a practical design.展开更多

Heat transfer models for continuous heating furnaces, batch-type heating furnaces, and regenerative heating furnaces are established, respectively. By analyzing the movement path of injected infinitesimal heat attached on steel or gas, thermal value equations of continuous, batch-type, and regenerative heating furnaces are derived. Then the influences of such factors as hot charging, gas preheating and intake time of heat on energy effective utilization degree are discussed by thermal value equations. The results show that thermal value rises with hot charging and air preheating for continuous heating furnaces, with shorter intake time when heat is attached on steel or longer intake time when heat is attached on gas for batch-type heating furnaces and that with more heat supply at early heating stage or less at late stage for regenerative heating furnaces.展开更多

Wild-type strains of the genus Candida showed capabilities different to produce alcohol fermenting a carbohydrates mixture （synthetic medium）, individually and in co-culture. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to evaluate the capability of Candida wild-type strains isolated from termite gut and rumen liquid, to ferment the most commonly carbohydrates presented in citrus residues, individually and in co-culture to alcohol production. C Tropicalis （LR4） presented higher percentage of carbohydrate consumption （74.20% ± 4.60%）, alcohol production （44.53 ± 0.01 gLl） and maximal alcohol productivity （6.40 ± 0.01 gL-l day） than C Glabrata （T1）. Co-culture schemas, CC1 （LR4： 60%; TI： 40%） and CC3 （first LR4 alone and 2 days later T1） presented the highest alcohol production （45.20 ± 1.30 gL-1 and 46.80 ± 2.60 gL-1, respectively）. Maximal alcohol productivity was obtained with CC2 （LR4： 80%; TI： 20%） and CC3 schemas, 7.70 ± 0.29 gL-1 day and 7.80 ± 0.44 gL-l day, respectively. The results suggest the usefulness of these wild-type strains in co-culture as an alternative to alcohol production from carbohydrates mixtures at concentrations commonly found in citrus waste.展开更多
