The character- istics of mesophase pitches were examined using polarized light optical microscopy, apparent viscome- try, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, IH nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, and X-ray diffractometry. The properties of the mesophase pitch were greatly improved because of the eutectic effect. The soluble content increased from 5% to 56%, the mesophase itself increased from 32% to 100%, and the optical texture was changed from a coarse mosaic into a flow domain after the waste polystyrene was added to the ethylene tar pitch. The apparent viscosity showed that the mesophase pitch changed from thixotropic to Newtonian suggesting improved rheological behavior during co-carbonization）The increased number of alkyl groups, which are mainly methylene groups, altered the molecular structure of the mesophase pitch in a way that resulted in the eutectic effect.展开更多

In order to describe the effect of 1,2-C2H4Cl2(EDC) inhibitor on the ethylene epoxidation process, the reversible reactions between EDC and vinyl chloride(VC) on the active sites of silver catalyst was introduced. According to the assumed mechanism, the hyperbolic macro-kinetic model of ethylene epoxidation over the A-type silver catalyst was established, and the macrokinetic experiments were carried out in an internal-recycle gradientless reactor operating at a pressure of 2.1 MPa and a temperature in the range of 217.8—249.0 ℃, with the gas composition(molar fraction) consisting of 15.82%—34.65% C2H4, 2.55%—7.80% O2, 0.88%—6.15% CO2, 0.15—2.61 μmol/mol of 1,2-C2H4Cl2 and 0.14—1.28 μmol/mol of C2H3 Cl. By means of the Simplex Optimal Method, the parameters of the macrokinetic models were estimated. Statistical test showed that the macrokinetic models developed for the A-type silver catalyst agree well with the experimental results.展开更多
