This paper studies the effect of Fe content in the alloy on volume fraction of the constituents Al6(Fe, Mn)3 and Al12(Fe, Mn)3Si and its influence on ironing die pickup. It is shown that with Fe content increase, the amount of these constituents rises that helps prevent tool galling. Trials made at a can plant showed less ironing die changeovers at bodymakers. The optimum Fe content for aluminum can production can be considered between 0.47% and 0.53% that corresponds to 2.0% - 2.3% of insoluble constituent volume fraction. Greater amounts than this cause problems with excessive constituent particle formation and earing;smaller amounts result in increased ironing die galling.展开更多

文摘The liver,a critical metabolic organ,is particularly vulnerable to damage upon aluminum exposure.However,the precise molecular mechanisms through which aluminum induces hepatotoxicity remain to be fully elucidated.This study aimed to investigate the adverse effects of aluminum exposure on mouse liver tissue.The results indicated that AlCl_(3) exposure induced significant liver dysfunction,characterized by reduced adenosine triphosphate levels,elevated plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.Histopathological analysis of liver tissue revealed marked histological damage,accompanied by substantial iron deposition.Further examinations demonstrated elevated hepatic levels of malondialdehyde,4-hydroxynonenal,and reactive oxygen species,decreased levels of glutathione(GSH)and superoxide dismutase,increased levels of oxidized glutathione(GSSG),and a reduced GSH/GSSG ratio.The mRNA and protein expression of ferroptosis-related molecules,including downregulated glutathione peroxidase 4 and solute carrier family 7 member 11,were significantly downregulated,while acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4,ferritin heavy chain 1,and iron regulatory protein 1 levels were significantly upregulated.Treatment with Ferrostatin-1 markedly ameliorated liver dysfunction and histopathological damage,attenuating signs of ferroptosis.These findings highlight the potential of ferroptosis-targeted therapies as a viable treatment strategy for aluminum exposure-induced hepatocyte injury.

文摘The Martian core mainly contains iron,nickel and some light elements.However,controversies remain about the structure and chemical composition of the Martian core due to a lack of samples and marsquake data.Recently,the InSight lander collected long-term marsquake data,which improved the Martian interior structure model.B ased on the preliminary analysis of marsquake data,Mars has a molten liquid core with a radius of around 1700 km.As the Martian core has a smaller density and lower temperature than pure iron at corresponding pressure and temperature conditions,some light elements are introduced to reduce the density and liquidus temperature.With various methods for seismic analysis,in-situ high-pressure and high-temperature experiments,and first-principal calculations,the Martian core composition and evolution models have been updated in the past few years.Here,we review those studies on the light elements in the Martian core from four aspects including(1)high-temperature and high-pressure experiments,(2)marsquake data,(3)mineral physics model with molecular dynamics simulations and(4)cosmochemistry investigation.We discussed the effect of different light elements on the Martian core s density,sound velocity and liquidus temperature.Moreover,the review examines the varieties,abundances and forms of light elements in the Martian core.

文摘Iron is an essential mineral element that plays important roles in plant growth,development,and human health.Peanut is a valuable source of iron for human nutrition.Improving iron content in peanut seeds can enhance both yield potential and nutritional value.In this study,the seed iron content of the 401 peanut germplasm accessions was estimated and substantial variation among these accessions was observed,ranging from 9.02 to 50.60 mg/kg.The seed iron content of valencia type accessions was significantly higher than that of Peruvian,Virginia,and Irregular types.Landraces showed the highest average iron content,followed by advanced cultivars,breeding lines and interspecific hybrid cultivars.Accessions with red seed coat exhibited significantly higher iron content compared with those with pink seed coat.Correlation analysis revealed that the seed iron content significantly negatively correlated with hundred seed weight(HSW),resveratrol and oleic acid.Eight accessions with high iron content were identified with an average iron content of 32.46 mg/kg,including two elite genotypes that Zh.h4280 showed high resveratrol levels(1057.34μg/kg)and Zh.h1976 exhibited large seeds(HSW over 90g).Association analysis identified four markers,one of which,AHGS2053 stably explained with 5.75%–5.84%phenotypic variation.Accessions containing the favorable allele AHGS2053-250bp exhibited significantly higher iron content compared to those with alternative alleles.The results provide valuable germplasm resources and associated markers for breeding programs targeting high iron content in peanuts.

文摘Centrifugal casting of ductile iron pipe is a high-temperature,semi-continuous production process.However,conducting laboratory research on the solidification process of centrifugal casting of ductile iron pipe presents significant challenges.In this study,a novel research method was introduced for investigating the solidification process of ductile iron pipe,namely thermal simulation of ductile iron pipe.Comparative research was conducted on the microstructure and properties of the thermal simulation sample and the ductile iron pipe.The findings indicate that the thermal simulation sample and ductile iron pipe exhibit good heat transfer similarity and microstructure similarity.The difference of cooling rate between thermal simulation sample and ductile pipe is less than 0.24℃·s^(-1),and the difference of microstructure content of free cementite,ferrite,and pearlite is less than 5%.The tensile strength of annealed ductile iron pipe is 466 MPa,with an elongation of 16.1%and a Brinell hardness of 156.5 HBW.In comparison,the tensile strength of annealed thermal simulation sample is 482.0 MPa,with an elongation of 15.5%and a Brinell hardness of 159.0 HBW.These results suggest that the thermal simulation experimental research method is both scientific and feasible,offering an objective,reliable,and cost-effective approach to laboratory research on ductile iron pipe.

文摘In recent years,an increase in the content of Zn,the impurity element,in ironmaking raw materials has led to the deterioration of iron-bearing resources and has introduced new challenges to sintering dezincification.A thorough understanding of the reaction behavior of Zn during the sintering process can form a theoretical foundation for the development of efficient dezincification technology.Therefore,the reaction behavior of Zn was investigated under different temperatures and atmospheres using thermodynamic calculations and experimental simulations,and the phase transformation of Zn in each pre-reductive sintering zone was investigated.The results showed that Zn-containing materials were mainly converted into ZnO when the temperature reached 700℃,and ZnO began to combine with Fe_(2)O_(3)to form ZnFe_(2)O_(4)at approximately 800℃.At low CO concentration,ZnFe_(2)O_(4)was stable,while ZnO combined with iron oxide to form Fe_(0.85-x)Zn_(x)O in a strong reduction atmosphere.ZnFe_(2)O_(4)could also be converted into Fe_(0.85-x)Zn_(x)O and FeO.A part of Zn was converted to elemental Zn,which was volatilized and removed into the gas phase above 1000℃.Therefore,the feasibility of dezincification via pre-reductive sintering was confirmed.At the coke ratio of 18.0 wt.%of the sintering material,the Zn removal rate reached 62.3 wt.%.

文摘Fenton-like technology based on peroxymonosulfate activation has shown great potential in refractory organics degradation.In this work,single Fe atom catalysts were synthesized through facile ball milling and exhibited very high performance in peroxymonosulfate activation.The Fe single-atom filled an N vacancy on the triazine ring edge of C_(3)N_(4),as confirmed through X-ray absorption fine structure,density functional calculation and elec-tron paramagnetic resonance.The SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system could completely remove phenol(20 mg/L)within 10 min and its first-order kinetic constant was 12.3 times that of the Fe_(3)O_(4)/PMS system.Under different ini-tial pH levels and in various anionic environments,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) still demonstrated excellent catalytic activity,achieving a removal rate of over 90%for phenol within 12 min.In addition,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) exhibited outstanding selectivity in reaction systems with different pollutants,showing excellent degradation effects on electron-rich pollutants only.Hydroxyl radicals(•OH),singlet oxygen(1O_(2))and high-valent iron oxide(Fe(Ⅳ)=O)were de-tected in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system through free radical capture experiments.Further experiments on the quenching of active species and a methyl phenyl sulfoxide probe confirmed that 1O_(2) and Fe(Ⅳ)=O played dom-inant roles.Additionally,the change in the current response after adding PMS and phenol in succession proved that a direct electron transfer path between organic matter and the catalyst surface was unlikely to exist in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS/Phenol degradation system.This study provides a new demonstration of the catalytic mech-anism of single-atom catalysts.

文摘The iron and steel industry is one of the largest contributors to U.S.and global greenhouse gas emissions.Hydrogen can act as a promising reducing agent and clean energy carrier to decarbonize this sector,and has received significant attention in terms of process modelling,techno-economic analysis,and life cycle assessment in recent years.Policy incentives,hydrogen storage and transportation,and water stress levels are key factors that require significantly more consideration in order to realize hydrogen's potential to decarbonize this industry.This review demonstrates the need for a systematic understanding and critical assessment of these areas,and their profound impacts on the decarbonization of the iron and steel sector.Furthermore,hydrogen and water supply face competition from other hard-to-decarbonize sectors,which should be considered on national and regional levels.Lastly,future research should also consider the impact of other environmental factors and hydrogen leak when deploying hydrogen at scale for industrial decarbonization.
