  • Patent number: 9944562
    Abstract: Ceramic granules having high reflectivity and a preparation method for the same comprise sand core particulates and at least one coating thereon, wherein said sand core particulates contain calcined tobelite that is obtained by calcining the tobelite ore at 700-1200° C.; and said sand core particulates are coated with an inorganic coating, and then calcined at 800-1200° C. to obtain ceramic granules. Said ceramic granules have a particle size of 0.1-3.5 mm, and have a solar reflectivity SR of not lower than 80% and a staining index DL* of lower than 6%. Said ceramic granules produce a solar reflectivity of not lower than 70% when being applied to the asphalt roll/sheet and a solar reflectivity of not lower than 72% when being applied to the polyurethane foam sheet.

  • Publication number: 20170282230
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for remediating trichloroethylene-polluting soils by integrated rotated migration and PRB. The apparatus includes a device of electrokinetic remediation, a PRB and a device of injection of surface active agents. The main components of the device of electrokinetic remediation and PRB include cathode, anode, electrode chamber and PRB. A liquid injection pipe is installed between various electrodes and PRBs. The operation of each device is controlled by each control system. The disclosure integrated rotated migration and PRB for remediating contaminants. Surface active agents is helpful for dispersing TCE from soil. The arrangement of the electrode and the PRB greatly shortens distances and time of pollutant migration, which accelerate the speed of remediation and reduce post-processing procedures. In the process of treatment, the three technical methods promote each other, and have the advantages of good repair effect, short time, no secondary pollution and easy operation.

  • Publication number: 20170266629
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-flux polyamide composite membrane, which includes a composite membrane body, wherein the composite membrane body includes a non-woven fabric, a porous supporting layer and a polyamide layer which are successively arranged; and the polyamide layer is prepared by a polyamine solution and a poly-acyl chloride solution through an interface polymerization reaction, wherein the polyamine solution contains amino acid. The amino acid adopted in the technical solution of the present invention can be used as an end-capping reagent to react with acyl chloride groups, thereby regulating a polyamide layer structure, decreasing a cross-linking degree of the polyamide layer, and opening a channel for the passing of water molecules; and moreover, the hydrophilic performance of a membrane surface can also be improved, and a water flux is increased while a high interception rate is ensured.

  • Publication number: 20150310951
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for the treatment of uranium-contaminated soil by using comprehensive joint technology. The apparatus include the pumping system, the electrokinetic remediation system, elution system, remediation-separation system and recharge system. The remediation technologies (i.e. chemical, photolysis and electrokinetic) are used to remedy the uranium-contaminated soil. First, extract uranium from the contaminated areas and make the ionized uranium extract from the soil phase to the solution phase. Then, use the electrokinetic remediation technology to drive uranium enrichment electromigrate to near the anode. Finally, return the repaired-soil and groundwater back to anode area and recharge well, respectively. This comprehensive joint apparatus can reduce the uranium volume in the contaminated soil or water, and recycle the obtained uranium, which are cleaning processes and have no secondary pollution.

  • Patent number: 8968550
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for cleaning chlorobenzenes-contaminated soil and groundwater are provided related to environment protection. The apparatus includes a direct current power supply, permeable reactive barrier (PRB) reaction walls and electrodes, wherein the electrodes are arranged in a polluted area according the concentric circles, and are installed into electrode chambers; the PRB reaction walls are installed at ½ between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode and at ¼ from the anode electrode. Chlorobenzenes in the soil and groundwater can be gathered in the PRB reaction walls through the arrangement of the electrode area; and then the chlorobenzenes can be further removed by oxidation-reduction reactions in the PRB reaction walls.
