The thermodynamic parameters （aC）gas （carbon activity in environment） of different compositions at any temperature can be obtained by △G^oT. A theoretical analysis has been conducted into the thermodynamic role of iron and the dependence of possible metal-dusting occurrence on temperature, gas composition and total pressure. In CO-H2-H2O gas mixtures, decreasing the molar fraction of H2O and increasing total pressure expands the temperature region for metal dusting. In CO-H2-H2O gas mixture of different compositions at any temperature and pressure for Fe, depending on relative values of （aC）gas, （aC）Fe3C/Fe and aC= 1, three zones were found to exist.展开更多

The dust characteristics from different mines and atomization parameters of different pressure nozzles were measured. It was found that the internal pressure of coal cutters and roadheaders should be kept at 2 MPa, which could ensure large droplet size, large spraying angle and low water consumption and hence realizing a large-area covering and capture for large particle dusts. However, the external spray pressure should be kept at 4 MPa for smaller droplet size and longer effective spraying range, leading to effective dust removal in the operator zone. The spray pressure of support moving, drawing opening, and stage loader on a fully mechanized caving face and stage loader on a fully mechanized driving face should be kept at 8 MPa, under which the nozzles have long effective spraying range, high water flow and small droplet size for the rapid capture of instantaneous, high-concentration and small size dust groups. From the applications on the caving and driving faces in the coal mines, it is indicated that the optimization of spray pressure in different spraying positions could effectively enhance dust removal efficiency. Selecting appropriate nozzles according to the dust characteristics at different positions is also favorable for dust removal efficiency. With the selected nozzles under optimal pressures, the removal rates of both total dust and respirable dust could reach over70%, showing a significant de-dusting effect.展开更多

Herein, a general powder dusting method has been explored for latent fingerprint development based on aggregation-induced emission luminogens(AIEgens). A series of tetraphenylethene(TPE) derivatives with multiple diphenylamine(DPA), namely, TPE-DPA,TPE-2 DPA and TPE-4 DPA, were selected as candidates to dope with magnetic powders and applied for latent fingerprint development. After screening, the magnetic powder 3 doped with TPE-4 DPA proves to be the best, in terms of fluorescent intensity, resolution and adhesiveness. Afterwards, the magnetic powder 3 was applied for visualization of latent fingerprint on various smooth and porous substrates, including glass, stainless steel, leaf, ceram, plastic bag, lime wall, wood and paper money.Specific details, such as island, core, termination and bifurcation, can be clearly observed for the fluorescent fingerprint images.展开更多

Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dust explosion characteristics of energetic materials and the mechanism of dust explosion. According to the literature review, among various influencing factors, the physical and chemical properties of dust are the decisive factors affecting the explosion characteristics of dust. In addition to experimental studies, numerical simulation is another important tool. However, it is subjected to certain limitations. Moreover, it is essential but challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanism. In addition, given the safety hazards posed by dust explosion, explosion suppression has attracted extensive attention for research. Depending on the medium used, there are different forms of suppression, including powder explosion suppression, water spray explosion suppression, inert gas explosion suppression, porous material explosion suppression, and vacuum chamber explosion suppression. As for the selection of explosion suppression agent, consideration must be given to the characteristics of the material. Furthermore, the above research has laid a foundation for discussing the future progress in studying dust explosion of energetic materials, with nano dust and the constraints of existing technology as the focal point.展开更多

A series of tetraphenylethene(TPE) derivatives with multiple diphenylamine(DPA), namely, TPE-DPA,TPE-2 DPA and TPE-4 DPA, were selected as candidates to dope with magnetic powders and applied for latent fingerprint development. After screening, the magnetic powder 3 doped with TPE-4 DPA proves to be the best, in terms of fluorescent intensity, resolution and adhesiveness. Afterwards, the magnetic powder 3 was applied for visualization of latent fingerprint on various smooth and porous substrates, including glass, stainless steel, leaf, ceram, plastic bag, lime wall, wood and paper money.Specific details, such as island, core, termination and bifurcation, can be clearly observed for the fluorescent fingerprint images.

文摘Aiming at reducing the dust pollution during the tunneling process and improving the application efficiency of air curtain dust prevention technology,according to the changes of radial jet velocity(v_(r)),axial extraction velocity(v_(e))and extraction distance(L)in the formation process of air curtain,the numerical simulation method was used to analyze the rules of airflow structure evolution and the diffusion characteristics of dust particles in fully mechanized excavation tunnel.The results indicate that as v_(r) and v_(e) increase,the migration path of the wall jet of the air curtain changes into an axial direction;as L decreases,the migration distance increases accordingly.These phenomena make the airflow distribution in the working face tends to be uniform.The dust diffusion distance reduces as well,wherein,the range of the discrete area of dust particles decreases sharply,until all dust particles are concentrated in the accumulation area.On this basis,the v_(r),v_(e) and L were optimized and applied in the 63_(up) 08 fully mechanized working face.By the application of the optimal parameters,the average dust removal efficiency at the driver’s position increased by 71%.The dust concentration was reduced and the working environment had been improved effectively.

文摘Due to the presence of nitro groups, the dust generated during the production and utilization of energetic materials may potentially lead to dust explosion even under low-oxygen or anaerobic conditions.Considering the high energy density of energetic materials, dust explosion can cause serious production safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dust explosion characteristics of energetic materials and the mechanism of dust explosion. According to the literature review, among various influencing factors, the physical and chemical properties of dust are the decisive factors affecting the explosion characteristics of dust. In addition to experimental studies, numerical simulation is another important tool. However, it is subjected to certain limitations. Moreover, it is essential but challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanism. In addition, given the safety hazards posed by dust explosion, explosion suppression has attracted extensive attention for research. Depending on the medium used, there are different forms of suppression, including powder explosion suppression, water spray explosion suppression, inert gas explosion suppression, porous material explosion suppression, and vacuum chamber explosion suppression. As for the selection of explosion suppression agent, consideration must be given to the characteristics of the material. Furthermore, the above research has laid a foundation for discussing the future progress in studying dust explosion of energetic materials, with nano dust and the constraints of existing technology as the focal point.

文摘The large amount of harmful particles in coal dust not only pollutes the production environment,affects the production efficiency and resource utilization of enterprises,but also poses a risk to human health.Effectively controlling coal dust is of great significance to clean production.Water-based dust suppressants are extensively employed to mitigate coal dust.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the water-based dust suppression materials for coal dust control.Accord-ing to the difference of mechanism,the dust suppressants are divided into wetting type,hygroscopic coalescence type,cohesive agglomeration type,and composite type.The evaluation methods for dust suppressants key properties such as wettability,permeability,moisture absorption and water retention,and consolidation are summarized.The review results show that coal dust suppressants are no longer limited to a single dust suppression function.For example,it is necessary to develop multi-functional coal suppressants to meet the needs for synergistic suppression both coal dust and coal spon-taneous combustion.Driven by the concept of green,low-carbon and sustainable development,attention should be paid to the development of bio-based environmentally friendly coal dust suppressants.In addition,the evaluation method system for the key performance of water-based dust suppressants should also be improved,and further research is necessary.

文摘The occurrence of extreme weather events is becoming more frequent due to global climate change.A long-lasting dust outbreak in the spring of 2023 was triggered by Mongolia cyclones and cold fronts in the dust source areas.In this study,we illustrate the spatial distribution,the transport path of the dust and its influence on the air quality of downstream cities utilizing ground-based and space-borne measurements.Results indicate a more complicated pollution,coexisting of polluted dust stage S1 and pure dust stage S2.In S1,the aerosol was characterized by a dual-layer vertical structure—high extinction coefficient of nearly 1.0 km^(−1)with a low particle depolarized ratio(PDR)of<0.1 under 500 m,and a small extinction coefficient of 0.3 km^(−1)with a high PDR of 0.15 above 500 m.Then the intrusion of the Mongolian cyclone carried new dust plumes on March 10,2023,suggesting the onset of pure dust period S2.The source transition was also confirmed by the MODIS,CALIPSO and Hysplit observations.The pure Asian dust evolved rapidly with one thickening layer and distributed homogeneously in the boundary layer.The PDR increased significantly to the peak of 0.35 and resulted in the peak PM10 value of>1300µg/m^(3).PM10 positively correlated with trace gases in S1 while varying inversely with the pollution gases in S2.The results help to shed light on the classification of different types of dust and also be useful in developing an effective strategy to forecast air pollution in downstream areas.

文摘Silicomanganese dust contains large amounts of valuables,such as Si and Mn,which can be used as raw materials for the smelting of silicomanganese.However,the direct addition of dust to the submerged arc furnace can influence the permeability of burden due to the fine particle size of dust,which results in incomplete reduction reactions during the smelting process.In this paper,silicomanganese dust,graphite powder,and other additives were pressed to form carbon-containing dust briquettes,and the self-reduction process of the dust briquettes was investigated through the isothermal thermogravimetric method with different carbon–oxygen (C/O) molar ratios,contents of fluxing agents,and reduction temperatures.Various reduction kinetic models for dust briquettes at different temperatures were established.The results show that the reaction fraction of the dust briquettes was about 90%at a C/O molar ratio of 1.2 with optimal reduction efficiency.The addition of CaF_(2)contributed to the decrease in the melting point and viscosity of dust briquettes,which increased their reduction rate.As the reduction temperature increased,the reduction rate of dust briquettes increased.The reduction reaction rate of dust briquettes was controlled through gas-phase diffusion.Meanwhile,their reduction process was analyzed kinetically,with the reaction time of 5 min as the dividing line.The apparent activation energies for the two diffusion stages were 56.10 and 100.52 kJ/mol,respectively.The kinetic equations are expressed as[1-(1-f)^(1/3)]^(2)=0.69e^(-56100/(RT))t and [1-(1-f)^(1/3)]^(2)=2.06e^(-100520/(RT))t.

文摘The effectiveness of fluopyram suspension concentrate against pine wilt disease(PWD)is limited by spraying efficiency and water dependence.A traditional dust formulation with strong dispersibility can overcome these shortcomings.However,its efficacy against PWD remains uncertain.This study evaluated the translocation of fluopyram dust within tree tissues,soil and water degradation,and its effective control against PWD.Nursery tests showed effective prevention;field tests showed dust absorption and translocation into pine tissues.Thirty days following application,residual concentrations in soil were low at 0.09 mg kg^(−1);no detectable residues were found in water samples.Three years after applying fluopyram,its effectiveness increased to approximately 87%.Based on this study,fluopyram had a half-life of 346 d with persistence lasting up to three years.This provides valuable insight for managing PWD through dust applications.

文摘The paper contains the results of investigation of interconnections between coals’vitrinite structural features,mode of its crushing under the cyclic nanoindentation with increasing peak load and coals’proneness to formation of airborne respirable dust(ARD)with particles sized<10μm(PM10).A specific value of PM10 contents in coals normalized on a fines fraction(with particles sizes of less than 200μm)was used as a measure of proneness to ARD formation.It has been shown that the aforementioned parameter is predefined by the ratio of amorphous and crystalline carbon compounds in vitrinite and the mode of its crushing.Some preliminary investigation have been done in order to characterize the involvement of inertinite in ARD formation.It was proposed that the inertinite is not as actively involved in the processes of ARD formation of coals as vitrinite,having a more diverse structural features in terms of amorphous to crystalline carbon compounds ratio.

文摘The factors controlling dust activity and humidity in Central Asia and their relationships remain controversial,partly due to a lack of high-resolution geological records for the mid-to-late last glaciation.In this study,we established an optically stimulated luminescence chronology for the QSHA profile in the Yili Basin,a region influenced by westerlies.Grain size and trace element data were used as paleoclimatic indicators.We investigated the relationships among Central Asian dust activity,humidity,and westerlies strength on orbital to millennial scale from 37.4 ka to 11.6 ka.Our study reveals that,on orbital timescales,humidity is positively correlated with westerlies strength which controlled by precession.Dust activity is controlled by Siberian High which was regulated by Northern Hemisphere high-latitude temperature.Their responses to low-latitude and high-latitude forcing mechanisms respectively and present an opposite relationship.On millennial timescales,humidity and westerlies strength are positively correlated.During Marine Isotope Stage(MIS)2,humidity and dust activity show synchronous fluctuations,while during MIS 3,they exhibit an inverse relationship.Westerlies strength regulated humidity,which subsequently controlled glacial activity in the Tianshan Mountains,influencing dust activity in Central Asia.Additionally,the QSHA profile recorded seven Dansgaard-Oeschger(D-O)events on millennial timescales,indicating a potential link between Central Asian dust activity and high-latitude temperature variations in the Northern Hemisphere.Our findings provide new insights into dust and humidity interaction during the last glaciation periods in Central Asia and contribute to understanding global dust and hydrological cycles.

文摘Soil organic carbon(SOC)and total nitrogen(TN)play an important role in the global carbon and nitrogen cycles.Soil aggregates are critical reservoir of SOC and TN.Therefore,in areas with severe wind erosion,the changes in the accumulation of SOC,TN,clay,silt,and sand contents within different dry aggregate size fractions can offer crucial insights into soil conservation by the control of wind erosion.In this study,surface soil samples(0–5 cm depth)were collected from farmland and grassland in the Bashang region of northern China in 2020.The bulk soil and aggregate size fractions were used to determine the concentrations of SOC,TN,clay,silt,and sand.The results showed that:(1)farmland had lower SOC and higher TN than grassland;(2)SOC in the aggregates of farmland decreased with increasing aggregate size(P<0.010),while SOC in the aggregates of grassland increased with increasing aggregate size(P<0.010),and nonsignificant variation of TN and clay was observed among different aggregate sizes;(3)the mean of aggregate silt significantly decreased with increasing aggregate size and the mean of aggregate sand increased with increasing aggregate size(P<0.001);(4)no correlations between sand or silt of aggregate and TN or texture of bulk soil was found;and(5)SOC in bulk soil was correlated with those in different aggregate sizes,and was also affected by the texture of bulk soil(P<0.010).This study highlights the role of dry soil aggregate size in the redistribution of SOC,TN,clay,silt,and sand contents under different land uses,thereby facilitating the understanding of the process of wind erosion induced SOC,TN,and mineral dust emission.

文摘Resource utilization of metallurgical solid waste is vital for the sustainable development of the steel industry in the context of“dual carbon.”The calcification-carbothermal reduction method was employed to extract zinc and iron from electric furnace dust effectively.In this process,calcium oxide reacts with zinc ferrite to form dicalcium ferrite and zinc oxide,which further promotes the effective separation of zinc and iron.However,the addition of pure calcium oxide increases production costs for steel companies.Herein,a new process for dust removal and zinc recovery in electric furnaces has been developed,using electric furnace slag as a calcium agent and mineral trough ash as a reducing agent.Large amounts of dicalcium ferrate phases were detected in the carbothermal reduction products by steel slag synergistic calcification.The reaction mechanism was determined as ZnFe_(2)O_(4)+CaO→Ca_(2)Fe_(2)O_(5)+ZnO→Ca_(2)Fe_(2)O_(5)+Zn(g).Such a two-step reaction path indicated that steel slag can effectively promote the reduction and volatilization of zinc.The experimental optimal roasting parameters were determined as roasting temperature of 1150℃,roasting time of 45 min,calcium to zinc molar ratio of 1.1,and carbon to oxygen molar ratio of 0.8.The mass percentage of added steel slag was recorded as 21.83%,while that of mineral trough ash was 21.85%.Under these conditions,the zinc removal rate above 99%and the metallization rate of pellets of about 75.31%were achieved.Overall,the proposed method looks promising for future efficient separation of zinc and iron in industrial steel slag.
