Benzene Alkylation with Propane over Mo Modified HZSM-5

Benzene alkylation with propane has been studied over HZSM-5 loading 3.1–15.4 wt% Mo in continuous-flow microreactor under 350 °C and atmospheric pressure with the highest activity obtained at 6.7 wt% Mo loading. C_7–9 aromatics were obtained as main products while the total amount of benzene rings kept unchanged. i-Propylbenzene and n-propylbenzene are formed primarily, while toluene, ethylbenzene, and ethyl-toluene are formed secondly from the propylbenzenes. Catalytic performance of 6.7 wt% Mo/HZSM-5(38) partially poisoned by NH₃ shows that the strong acid sites play a crucial role in the alkylation. Low SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio of HZSM-5 in the Mo modified catalysts gives high propane conversion. Two hydrothermal treatment methods were applied to the 6.7 wt% Mo/HZSM-5(38) catalyst, caused decrease of propane conversion but result in different product distribution. A possible reaction mechanism concerning bifunctional active centers resulted from combination of loaded Mo species and strong acid centers on HZSM-5 is proposed.     

A paraffin-fueled SOFC system design and integration

This paper addresses an integrated design of paraffin-reformer, gas separations and the electricity production with a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The overall design consists of three modules. First module is a system of paraffin reformer. In this module, the paraffin feed stream is to send to a steam-reformer. In the second module, the gas separations method illustrated is the combination of a methane-permeable membrane with a pressure-swing adsorption (PSA). In the third module, the purified hydrogen is fed to the SOFC unit. To be energy efficient, this paraffin-fueled SOFC system is designed with the consideration of heat integration. The intent of this paper is to provide a possible, alternative way of cogeneration systems for refinery and petrochemical plants.     

Low temperature SCR of NO with NH3 over carbon nanotubes supported vanadium oxides

A novel multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNTs) supported vanadium catalyst was prepared. The structure of catalyst prepared was characterized by TEM, BET, FTIR, XRD and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) methods. The results indicated that vanadium particles were highly dispersed on the wall of carbon nanotubes. The V₂O₅/CNT catalysts showed good activities in the SCR of NO with a temperature range of 373–523 K. The Lewis acid sites on the surface of V₂O₅/CNT are the active sites for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH₃ at low temperatures. It was suggested that the reaction path might involve the adsorbed NH₃ species reacted with NO from gaseous phase and as well as the adsorbed NO₂ species. The diameter of CNTs showed positive effect on the activities of the catalysts. Under the reaction conditions of 463 K, 0.1 Mpa, NH₃/NO = 1, GHSV = 35,000 h⁻¹, and V₂O₅ loading of 2.35 wt%, the outer diameter of CNTs of 60–100 nm, the NO conversion was 92%.

基于RFID的虚拟标签算法研究与改进

针对室内定位算法VIRE的定位精度,特别是邻近边界目标的定位精度较低的问题,以RFID标签定位为研究基础,从改变VIRE算法中虚拟标签的插值方式和在边界上加入虚拟标签两个方面进行研究和改进。使用拉格朗日插值代替VIRE算法中的线性插值方式,使虚拟标签的数据更加接近实际环境值;在边界上加入虚拟参考标签能增加已知标签数,防止在计算待定位标签坐标时引入误差标签。实验结果表明,标签定位精度有了明显提高,整体能提高了35%,邻近边界标签定位精度提高较大,可达到50%以上。     

一种用于解调失真QAM信号的改进K-means聚类算法

在短距离无线通信中,无线节点或移动终端通常有低成本、小体积、低功耗的要求,因此无法使用复杂的预失真或补偿电路克服功放的非线性影响,这是无线节点或移动终端在上行链路中难以使用高阶QAM调制的重要原因之一。基于QAM矩形星座的特点,提出了一种K-means聚类的改进算法作为中央基站节点的高阶QAM解调算法。在发送信号受到较严重的功放非线性失真时,所提改进算法解调性能更优,算法复杂度更低。

How does e-mail use affect perceived control of time?

It is well established in the psychology literature that personality predicts performance to some degree. However, personality neither solely nor directly predicts outcomes. Rather, performance and outcomes unfold through context-specific mediating constructs. This study identified two constructs that mediate the relationship between proactivity and perceived control of time in e-mail use and tested the model with data from 251 knowledge workers. The results show that proactivity predicts the perceived control of time in e-mail use through both e-mail-specific time management behavior and e-mail self-efficacy. Further, greater e-mail self-efficacy leads to improved e-mail-specific time management behavior.     

An exploratory study of buyers’ participation intentions in reputation systems: The relationship quality perspective

Drawing upon a relationship quality framework, this study identifies how satisfaction, trust and different styles of handling conflict influence online buyers’ participation intentions in reputation systems associated with a C2C online shopping platform. Furthermore, we investigate how these effects are moderated by social conformity and the perceived value of knowledge. The results of a survey of 269 online buyers indicate that satisfaction, trust and an accommodating conflict handling style positively impact the intention to submit positive ratings, whereas an avoiding conflict handling style negatively affects the intention to submit positive ratings. Implications and suggestions for future research are provided.
