  • Patent number: 9695076
    Abstract: A method for reducing release of resistance genes during sludge anaerobic treatment includes controlling concentration of to-be-treated sludge in a concentration tank to be 12-20 g/L by sedimentation under gravity. The concentrated sludge is transferred to a supersonic pre-treatment device to proceed with supersonic pre-treatment. The supersonic pre-treatment is conducted for 5-30 minutes at a power of 0.1-0.5 kW and a frequency of 10-40 kHz. The pre-treated sludge is then transferred to an anaerobic treatment device for anaerobic treatment. The anaerobic treatment is conducted for 4-12 days at a temperature of 20-37° C. The release amount of resistance genes in the residual sludge and the supernatant liquid in the anaerobic treatment device is detected. A feedback dosage of an alkali liquid is fed into the anaerobic treatment device according to the release amount of the resistance genes, controlling a pH value to be 9.0-11.0 during the anaerobic treatment.

  • Publication number: 20080242194
    Abstract: A miniature gasoline engine is installed at the rear section of the model car. A first transmission gear is connected to and driven by the axle of the miniature gasoline engine, which in turn engages a parallel, second transmission gear, which is mounted at an end of a first transmission axle. A first bevel gear is provided at the other end of the first transmission axle, which engages a perpendicular, second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is connected to a center differential located in the center of the model car which in turn drives a second transmission axle (i.e., the main transmission axle). The second transmission axle runs through the center differential and axially through the model car, and directly drives the two front wheels and the two rear wheels, respectively.
