  • Patent number: 11731997
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for preparing an amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial based on pulping black liquor, an amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial, and an oil sludge detergent. In the disclosure, physical treatments such as ball milling and high-pressure jet homogenization treatment are conducted on alkali lignin at the early stage to adjust the molecular weight and size of alkali lignin and thus to give alkali lignin nanoparticles with uniform particle sizes; and on this basis, a chemical treatment such as alkylation grafting modification is conducted to give amphiphilic lignin nanoparticles with both hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. Due to the nano-size effect, the amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial has a significantly-increased specific surface area (SSA) and effectively-improved surface properties, which can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, and emulsify the crude oil and peel off the crude oil from the surface of rock particles, so as to achieve the purpose of oil-solid separation.

  • Patent number: 11185796
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fast and high-capacity intelligent cellulose-based oil-absorbing material and a preparation method and use thereof. The material includes an intelligent response layer and an adsorption layer. The intelligent response layer is a pH-responsive nanofiber layer with an adjustable pH response performance and is obtained by grafting hyperbranched polycarboxylic acid-modified polyethyleneimine on to carboxylated cellulose nanofibers. The hyperbranched polycarboxylic acid is prepared by melting and polycondensing at a high temperature, using trimethylolpropane as a core, citric acid as a reactive monomer, and p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst. The adsorption layer is prepared by coating ferroferric oxide with the carboxylated cellulose nanofibers to prepare magnetic carboxylated cellulose nanofibers, and then modifying the magnetic carboxylated cellulose nanofibers with hexadecylamine.

  • Patent number: 10981816
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for pre-conditioning high-calcium wastewater by calcification blocking, and a device for implementing the method. The method for treating high-calcium wastewater by calcification blocking includes mixing high-calcium wastewater, an alkalizing agent and a chelating agent, and carrying out alkalizing conditioning pretreatment under a condition of stirring by bubbling of a biogas, so as to obtain pre-conditioned wastewater. The pre-conditioned wastewater is mixed with anaerobic granular sludge, and an anaerobic reaction is performed in a high hydraulic shear flow field formed by the biogas, so as to generate the biogas and calcium scale. A part of the biogas for the stirring is refluxed by bubbling of the biogas and the rest of the biogas is refluxed for forming the high hydraulic shear flow field.

  • Publication number: 20200190676
    Abstract: A graphene ternary composite direct current-carrying plate includes an anode plate and a cathode plate. Placed between the anode plate and the cathode plate is a graphene composite layer. The graphene composite layer is doped with a certain proportion of graphene in the aluminum mesh frame. The plate of the invention has small thickness, low ohmic voltage drop, good porosity, and low current loss. This reduces the electrolysis power consumption, thereby significantly reducing the product cost and effectively promoting the industrial production market of the sodium chlorate electrolysis method. The plate also reduces energy consumption and is environmentally friendly.

  • Publication number: 20190345033
    Abstract: A high-purity chlorine dioxide gas may use hydrogen peroxide as a reducing agent and may use horizontal generator, evaporation crystallizer, dryer and other devices to produce chlorine dioxide gas (product) and sodium sulfate (by-product). Compared to the conventional chlorine dioxide preparation system, the chlorine dioxide reaction and the sodium sulfate crystallization are performed in two processes. These processes are relatively separate and independent, and continuously produce chlorine dioxide gas with high purity and low moisture content while the by-product salt cake is evaporated, crystallized, filtered and dried, thereby producing sodium sulfate, without generating solid and liquid waste.

  • Patent number: 10145017
    Abstract: An efficient electrolysis system for sodium chlorate production may include round or oval cells, reactors, a product pump transfer, a buffer tank, a circulation pump, and explosive clad plate, all of which are connected by way of pipelines. Inlet and the outlet of each cell are separately connected with the reactor via titanium pipes, allowing the electrolyte to recirculate naturally between the cells and the reactors. The outlet of every cell is conical while each reactor includes a standard electrolytic unit with three to eight cells. The electrolytic units are modularly identical and symmetrically linked to the buffer tank. Within each unit, adjacent cells are connected with the explosive clad plates. The buffer tank may be divided into two parts—part A and part B—with part A connecting with the overflow port of the reactor via pipeline, and the part B connecting with the reactor via the circulation pump.
