[Characteristics of Municipal Solid Waste in Some Urban Agglomeration in the Past Five Years].

The treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste has increasingly become a common concern around the world, and the characteristics of municipal solid waste(MSW) are an important basis for the selection of terminal treatment methods. In this study, more than 400 MSW samples from over 30 cities across China were collected, and the basic physical and chemical properties, such as the physical composition, pollutant content, and calorific value, were analyzed. Shenzhen was taken as an example to analyze the influence of time and waste sorting measures on the physical and chemical characteristics of MSW.

Impact of ball-milling and ionic liquid pretreatments on pyrolysis kinetics and behaviors of crystalline cellulose.

In this work, the kinetic mechanisms of pyrolysis of cellulose with different physical structures were illustrated. The crystalline cellulose showed better thermal stability and required higher energy for decomposition with more concentrated reactions due to the highly ordered structure. The crystallinity of the ball milling and ionic liquid pretreated cellulose decreased and the structure was relatively loose and disordered, thereby reducing the thermal stability, so the global activation energy of both samples decreased and the intensive reaction caused by the collapse of structure was alleviated.

A comparative investigation of fast pyrolysis with enzymatic hydrolysis for fermentable sugars production from cellulose.

In this study, ball milling and ionic liquid pretreatments were utilized to alter cellulose structure prior to fast pyrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. The variations in the products distribution of cellulose fast pyrolysis, and their dependence on the structure of cellulose, and the temperature of fast pyrolysis were illustrated. Fast pyrolysis of pretreated cellulose yielded more levoglucosan than crystalline cellulose (14.

[Leaching and stabilization of heavy metal in the fly ash of medical wastes].

Through the experiments of leaching and melting on the fly ash of medical wastes, the influence of leaching time, L/S, pH and grain size on the leaching characteristics of heavy metal and the effect of melting on the stabilization of fly ash are studied. Results show that, following the leaching time extending, the leaching concentrations of heavy metals and lixiviate toxicity of heavy metals increase in the fly ash. When the ratio of liquid and solid add, the leaching concentrations of heavy metals obviously become big, and the Cd's leaching concentration is the biggest, when the ratio of liquid and solid is 90, the Cd' s leaching ratio exceed the percent of 70.
