  • Publication number: 20240167982
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing sensitivity consistency of an acoustic emission sensor are provided. The apparatus uses a cylindrical polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) rod as a test bench. A clamping seat, a clamping block, and a mounting cylinder are mounted on one end of the test bench in cooperation. Under an action of a pressure spring, an end face of a tested sensor keeps pressure-stable coupling contact with an end face of the test bench. A bracket is mounted on another end face of the test bench, and keeps, together with a fixing seat and the clamping seat, the test bench horizontally placed on a desktop. By adjusting a width and an amplitude of a pulse excitation signal of a signal generator, and according to sensitivity distribution and aggregation between tested sensors, a consistency calculation method is used to screen out tested sensors with first, second, and third sensitivity consistency.

  • Patent number: 9457342
    Abstract: The invention discloses a multi-metallic bulk catalyst with layered structure, wherein the metals in the multi-metallic bulk catalyst is consisted of a Group VIII metal MI, at least one metal MII with the valence of +3 and at least two Group VIB metals MIII+MIV, wherein (the mole number of MI+the mole number of MII):(the mole number of MIII+the mole number of MIV) is from 1:9 to 9:1; the mole number of MI:the mole number of MII is from 1:5 to 5:1; and the mole number of MIII:the mole number of MIV is from 1:5 to 5:1. The invention also discloses the preparation method and use of the above catalyst. The invention is use for the hydrodesulfurization of diesel distillate including 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, wherein the catalyst exhibits a extreme high hydrodesulfurization activity. Thus, the ultra-deep hydrodesulfurization is achieved and the cost of the bulk catalyst is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9415376
    Abstract: This invention relates to a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for photocatalyticly oxidation desulphurization and method for preparation and application thereof. The catalyst is comprised of one type of metal MI, one type of metal oxide MIIOx and BiVO4 as the supporter, wherein the mass ratio of the sum of the two types of metal (MI+MII) to BiVO4 is from 1:5000 to 1:50; the mass ratio of the type of metal MI to the type of metal MII is from 1:50 to 50:1. The catalyst is used in the photocatalytic oxidation desulphurization. Under mild condition (room temperature, 1 atm), using O2 as the oxidant and xenon lamp (wavelength 420 nm<?<700 nm) as the light source, avoid the oil's absorption of light (mainly in the violet area which is below 420 nm), the desulphurization ratio of thiophene can be above 90%, meanwhile the oil won't be excited. The sulfur in thiophene can be oxidized to SO3 and absorbed by the absorbent after escaped from the reaction system.
