Converting renewable resources such as walnut shells into energy or chemical products is one of the targets for peak carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality. Walnut shell char is a solid byproduct of the rapid pyrolysis of walnut shells to create biological oil. Due to its limited porosity and low specific surface area, it is difficult to be used directly as carbon material. FeCl3 was utilized to activate carbon extracted from walnut shells, whereas KOH was used as a reference. Through SEM, TEM, BET, Raman, N2-adsorption, and other series of characterization, it was found that activation improves the degree of graphitization compared to that without activation. The specific surface area increased from 1.6 cm2·g-1 to 377 cm2·g-1 and the pore volume increased from 0.004 6 cm3·g-1 to 0.074 cm3·g-1 when the FeCl3/WSC mass ratio was 10%. The structure of pores was abundant, and the carbon yield (61.2%) was higher than that by using the KOH activation method (35.8%). As a support for the corn oil hydrodeoxidation reaction, carbon derived from walnut shells was treated with FeCl3 to produce the molybdenum carbide catalyst. The corn oil conversion rate and the yield of hydrocarbon were 89.7% and 87.2%, respectively. After 8 cycles, neither the corn oil conversion rate nor the yield of hydrocarbon decreased, and the catalyst remained stable. This method of modifying FeCl3 has the advantages of cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, as well as the potential for extensive use.
The sensory quality of Ovalipes punctatus, Ovalipes punctatus reconstituted crab meat products, crab meat pieces and crab sticks were studied by using intelligent sensory analysis technology combined with traditional sensory evaluation. The four types of products were all low-fat foods that can be eaten with confidence. The electronic tongue combined with the principal component analysis method was used to distinguish and identify the four types of crab meat products, and the palatability of various types of crab meat (including hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, resilence). The results showed that there was a significant difference in taste between imitation crabmeat and real crabmeat. Compared with imitation crabmeat, real crabmeat had a stronger umami aftertaste, but the bitterness and astringency and miscellaneous taste were relatively higher; TGase had a positive effect on the sensory quality of crab meat, especially on its taste and texture, the whole texture measurement results and human sensory evaluation results showed good consistency.
In this paper it is reported firstly that fermented cellulose was anionized by one pot method with sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropane sulfonate in aqueous phase, and sodium hydroxide solution was used as reactant, solvent, and catalyst. The reaction conditions were mild, the degree of substitution was moderate, and the conversion rate was acceptable. The characterization of cellulose derivative was studied by means of elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance,FTIR and so on. The antifungal biological evaluation of cellulose derivative was carried out, and the results showed that it had certain antifungal properties. The ecological compatibility of cellulose derivatives confirms that they can be applied in archaeology, agriculture and epidemic prevention, etc.
The catalysts PtxTi/MCF and Pt/yTi-MCF were obtained by adding Ti element to mesocellular silica foam (MCF) support in two different ways. The catalytic activities of these catalysts for the complete oxidation of benzene, n-hexane and ethyl acetate were studied. The effects of different catalyst preparation methods, Ti addition amount and calcination temperature were investigated in detail. In addition, the structure and physicochemical properties of some of the support and catalyst were characterized by nitrogen isothermal adsorption-desorption, Raman spectrum analysis, small and wide angle XRD. The results show that, Pt8Ti/MCF has good catalytic activity and stability for the complete oxidation of benzene, n-hexane, and especially ethyl acetate. It was prepared simply by impregnating the mixture solution of platinum acetylacetone and titanium acetylacetone and then calcination, which exhibits a good application prospect in future.
This paper proposes to employ matrix weighted NURBS surfaces to fit and fair quad meshes. For a quadrilateral mesh with given or estimated unit normals at vertices, a matrix weighted NURBS surface can be constructed by choosing the mesh vertices as control points and employing normals at each vertex for computing matrix weights. Compared with traditional NURBS surfaces, matrix weighted NURBS surfaces have quasi-cylindrical accuracy. When the input data is uniformly sampled from a smooth surface, the constructed matrix weighted NURBS surface has good smoothness and fits the mesh model well; if the input grid data contain noise, a fair fitting surface that approximates the original grid well can still be obtained by resampling control vertices on current fitting surfaces and re-calculating vertex normals based on the new quad meshes iteratively.
To improve the catalytic ability of nano zero-valent iron in a Fenton like reaction system and reduce the agglomeration of nano zero-valent iron materials, the liquid phase reduction method was used to prepare biochar loaded nano zero valent iron materials (nZVI@BC). The material was characterized and the methylene blue was degraded to explore the material properties, the optimal degradation conditions and the action mechanism. The results showed that nano zero-valent iron had been successfully and evenly distributed on the surface of biochar. The prepared material was of high purity and good stability. In the degradation optimization experiment, the optimal reaction condition for degradation of 100 mg·L-1 methylene blue solution was 25 ℃, the initial pH=3, the dosage of nZVI@BC is 30 mg·L-1 and the dosage of H2O2 is 4 mmol·L-1. Under this condition, methylene blue solution can be almost completely degraded in 10 minutes. It had found that hydroxyl radicals played a major role in the degradation process. The chromogenic functional groups first broke, followed by the destruction of the aromatic ring structure, and ultimately completed degradation. And the material had a good recycling performance. After three cycles, the removal rate of methylene blue was still above 85%. In actual printing and dyeing wastewater treatment experiments, nZVI@BC had a good wastewater treatment effect. When the dosage of H2O2 was 0.9 mmol·L-1, the dosage of nZVI@BC was 60 mg·L-1 and the pH≤ 4.5, the CODcr decreased to below 50 mg·L-1, up to the standards for reuse water.
In order to improve the efficiency and quality of parametric tread pattern retrieval, a novel method is proposed. Firstly, the tread pattern model in B-rep format is converted into an attribute adjacency graph, in which the edge compatibility is used for inexact matching of two attribute adjacency graphs and for the calculation of graph similarity. The geometric features reflected by the design parameters are used to define similarity of tread pattern models. Secondly, to improve query efficiency, various design parameters are used for rough space division and recursive clustering on the tread pattern database. An index structure based on the cluster tree is constructed to speed up model retrieval. Our experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method over the general model retrieval methods, both in search efficiency and quality. This demonstrates the advantage of utilizing design parameters and geometric information of the tread pattern in CAD model retrieval.
Improving the segmentation quality of 3D meshes is always an important problem to computer graphics. To handle this problem, this paper proposes a shape-aware graph attention network. The shape-aware graph attention coefficient is defined to better reflect the similarity between nodes, which not only expands the attention coefficient obtained by network learning with the help of edge features between nodes, but also introduces the attention coefficient related to the local shape information of nodes. On the other hand, the network architecture is adjusted by taking both shape features and labels of 3D mesh model as the input of graph attention network, which enables the participation of labels in network training and verification stages. Residual connection is further employed to make the network output more stable. A large number of experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain accurate segmentation boundaries. Compared with the existing classical segmentation algorithms on PSB dataset, the proposed algorithm improves 2% in accuracy, and achieves better Rand index. The reasonableness of the algorithm is proved by ablation experiment.
