Boiler flue gas in the chemical industry contains SO 2 and nitrogen oxides (NO x ). These flue gases not only pollute the environment, but also seriously endanger human health. In this work, we studied the process of jet atomization and swirl enhancement. Then we constructed a miniaturized hydrojet cyclone. After that, we proposed a new type of flue gas purification technology to achieve integrated and efficient desulfurization and denitrification. All studies were based on combining the liquid jet field with the three-dimensional swirl field to increase the mass transfer area of the gas and liquid phases. The industrial sideline test results showed that the gas purification efficiency increased with the increase of inlet velocity and absorption liquid flow rate, Efficiency is always above 80%. Increasing the concentration of activator could significantly improve the desulfurization efficiency by 27%. Increasing the concentration of oxidant was beneficial to denitrification, and the maximum denitrification efficiency of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) was 98.2%. Overall, this technology can not only help enterprises save maintenance and treatment costs, but also protect the environment by avoiding the harm caused by flue gas pollution.
Transparent and conformal superhydrophobic coating with mechanochemical robustness is of great importance for various applications, such as waterproof, self-cleaning, and anti-icing for windows of cars and buildings. However, it remains a daunting challenge to endow the functional surface with programmable wettability. Herein, we propose a hierarchical coating consisting of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanoparticles (NPs) and PDMS microparticles (MPs) functional NPs through a combination of thermal treatment and spray treatment. The evaporation of PDMS under heat treatment is firstly applied to form a uniform nanoarchitectures, followed by spraying a mixed P25-PDMS dispersion to construct a protective coating with enhanced surface roughness. This resulted coating is conformal and possess reversible wettability on various substrates. In virtue of the light-response property of P25, the reversible wettability between superhydrophobicity and hydrophobicity can be achieved by repetitive UV-light irradiation and dark environment storage. Besides, the coating can maintain superhydrophobicity with high transmittance (76% optical transmittance) after immersion in acid/base solution for 24 h and continuously sand impingement. Furthermore, the coating exhibits mechanochemical robustness against high speed water jet and Elcometer 99 tape peeling test for 30 cycles due to the high adhesion between the robust coating and the glass. For practical application, the coating was demonstrated to have excellent performance in anti-icing, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants and self-cleaning.
