简介:Removalofsinglecomponentandbinarymixturesofbenzeneandm-xyleneusingamulti-pin-meshreactorwasstudiedtofindthedecompositioncharacteristics,carbonbalanceandCO_2selectivity.Thedecompositionrateofbenzeneinmixturewasapproximately16%lowerthanthatofsinglecomponentbenzene.However,thedecompositionrateofm-xyleneinmixturewasslightlyhigherthanthatofsinglecomponentm-xylene.Carbonbalanceofthemixturedecompositionprocessachievedalowerlevelthanthatofsinglecomponentbenzene/m-xylene.IncreaseinthespecificinputenergywashelpfultoimproveCO_2selectivityinthesinglecomponentdecompositionprocess,whilethespecificinputenergyhadanegligibleeffectonCO_2selectivityinthemixturedecompositionprocess.Bychangingtheoxygencontentinbackgroundgas,wefoundthatdifferenttypesofradicalsshoweddifferentreactionactivitiestowardbenzeneandm-xylene.Benzenewasmorelikelytoreactwithnitrogen-containingradicals,whilem-xylenewasmorelikelytoreactwithoxygen-containingradicals.
简介:(2011年8月1日)近期发生的数起安全事故,凸显出安全的重要性,尤其是核安全的极端重要性。3月11日发生的日本福岛核事故,教训非常深刻。7月23日发生的甬温铁路特别重大交通事故,尽管不是核事故,也给核行业以极大的警示和启示。在去年核工业创建55周年座谈会上,张德江副总理谈到,他主要担心两个领域出现安全问题,一个是高铁,一个是核电。言犹在耳,果然这两个领域都出了重大问题,只不过一个是在国内,另一个是在国外。两起事故都让我们立即联想到了我国的核安全,引发了广
