聚异丁烯共混物的辐射效应研究

本文研究了聚异丁烯(PIB)与聚乙烯(PE)、乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)、丁苯橡胶(SBR)、乙丙橡胶(EPR)、1,2-聚丁二烯(1,2-PB)共混物的辐射效应。发现聚异丁烯与EPR的机械共混物,经辐照后共混物中的PIB发生交联,而且交联是在一定辐照剂量和组成比范围内发生的。当聚异丁烯含量为70％时交联度最高。聚异丁烯与PE、1,2-PB的共混物中的聚异丁烯只发生了部分交联,而它与其它聚合物的共混物经辐照后共混物中的聚异丁烯仍然发生裂解。

双阳原油热处理中加入降凝剂的研究

以双阳原油为研究对象,选用EVA(乙烯-醋酸乙烯共聚物)作原料,用马来酸酐接枝改性,合成EJ-6降凝剂,采取在热处理中加入降凝剂的综合处理方法,考察了降凝剂合成的最佳反应条件和降凝剂用量及热处理温度对原油结晶状态及流动性的影响。结果表明,热处理中加入EJ-6降凝剂可使蜡的结晶状态发生明显变化。降凝剂用量仅100～500ppm,即可使双阳原油的凝点由原来的30～31℃降至7～9℃,原油的低温流动性大为改善。

含氯聚合物和乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯共聚物共混体系的红外光谱研究

关于氯化聚乙烯(CPE)或聚氯乙烯(PVC)与乙烯—醋酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)共混体系相容性的研究,已有不少报道,其中Coleman等人运用FTIR方法研究了含VA45％的EVA与CPE、PVC的共混体系,测定了该体系的低临界共溶温度(LCST)。一般认为,如果VA含量更低,由于EVA本身的结晶,共混体系将变得难以

Ocean urea fertilization for carbon credits poses high ecological risks

The proposed plan for enrichment of the Sulu Sea, Philippines, a region of rich marine biodiversity, with thousands of tonnes of urea in order to stimulate algal blooms and sequester carbon is flawed for multiple reasons. Urea is preferentially used as a nitrogen source by some cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates, many of which are neutrally or positively buoyant. Biological pumps to the deep sea are classically leaky, and the inefficient burial of new biomass makes the estimation of a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere questionable at best. The potential for growth of toxic dinoflagellates is also high, as many grow well on urea and some even increase their toxicity when grown on urea. Many toxic dinoflagellates form cysts which can settle to the sediment and germinate in subsequent years, forming new blooms even without further fertilization. If large-scale blooms do occur, it is likely that they will contribute to hypoxia in the bottom waters upon decomposition. Lastly, urea production requires fossil fuel usage, further limiting the potential for net carbon sequestration. The environmental and economic impacts are potentially great and need to be rigorously assessed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
