The generation of dust in the copper smelting worldwide ranges from 2 - 15 wt% per ton of a copper concentrate. In Chile, copper smelters produce approximately 110 kt/y of dust with a concentration of arsenic between 1 and 15 wt%. The dust is a complex of metals oxides and sulfurs with copper concentrations greater than 10 wt% and relatively high silver concentrations. Since its high arsenic concentration, it is difficult to recover valuable metals through hydrometallurgical processes or by direct recirculation of the dust in a smelting furnace. Thus, the development of pyrometallurgical processes aimed at reducing the concentration of arsenic in the dust (<0.5 wt%) is the main objective of this study, giving particular attention to the production of a suitable material to be recirculated in operations of copper smelting. The work provides a detailed characterization of the dust including the Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy (QEMSCAN), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (SEM/EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), the elemental chemical analysis using Atomic Adsorption (AAS), and X-Ray Fluorescence (X-RF). By considering that arsenic volatilization requires a process of sulfidation-decomposition-oxidation, this work seeks to explore the roasting of mixtures of copper concentrate/dust, sulfur/dust, and pyrrhotite/dust. By the elemental chemical analysis of the mixture after and before the roasting process, the degree of arsenic volatilization was determined. The results indicated the effects of parameters such as roasting temperature, gas flow, gas composition, and the ratio of mixtures (concentrate/dust, sulfur/dust, or pyrrhotite/dust) on the volatilization of arsenic. According to the findings, the concentration of arsenic in the roasted Flash Smelting dust can be reduced to a relatively low level (<0.5 wt%), which allows its recirculation into an smelting process.展开更多

Using the fifth generation of global climate and weather reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and CN05.1 grid precipitation data, this study examined the anomalous characteristics and mechanisms of ARWC by combining the synergistic effect of the westerly jet and meridional wind. Over the past 60 years, ARWC has exhibited significant interdecadal and interannual variations, as well as a north-south seesaw pattern. The westerly jet index(meridional wind index) exhibited a negative(positive) correlation with precipitation in the northern autumn rain zone(NARZ), and a positive(negative) correlation with precipitation in the southern autumn rain zone(SARZ). The coupling of a weak meridional southerly wind with a southward westerly jet and a strong meridional southerly wind with a northward westerly jet are the two primary modes that synergistically influence the ARWC. These synergistic effects cause significant atmospheric changes throughout the troposphere. The contrasting circulation structure, temperature advection, vertical motion, and water vapor flux contributed to the opposite precipitation anomalies observed in the NARZ and SARZ. A new comprehensive index that reflects the coupled synergistic effect is proposed to characterize the anomalous changes in ARWC. This study improves the understanding of the anomalous characteristics and mechanisms of ARWC.展开更多

文摘Autumn rain in western China(ARWC) is a unique and significant precipitation phenomenon that occurs during the summer-to-winter transition of the atmospheric circulation. Using the fifth generation of global climate and weather reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and CN05.1 grid precipitation data, this study examined the anomalous characteristics and mechanisms of ARWC by combining the synergistic effect of the westerly jet and meridional wind. Over the past 60 years, ARWC has exhibited significant interdecadal and interannual variations, as well as a north-south seesaw pattern. The westerly jet index(meridional wind index) exhibited a negative(positive) correlation with precipitation in the northern autumn rain zone(NARZ), and a positive(negative) correlation with precipitation in the southern autumn rain zone(SARZ). The coupling of a weak meridional southerly wind with a southward westerly jet and a strong meridional southerly wind with a northward westerly jet are the two primary modes that synergistically influence the ARWC. These synergistic effects cause significant atmospheric changes throughout the troposphere. The contrasting circulation structure, temperature advection, vertical motion, and water vapor flux contributed to the opposite precipitation anomalies observed in the NARZ and SARZ. A new comprehensive index that reflects the coupled synergistic effect is proposed to characterize the anomalous changes in ARWC. This study improves the understanding of the anomalous characteristics and mechanisms of ARWC.

文摘Northeast China(NEC),a critical agricultural and ecological zone,has experienced intensified hydrological variability under global warming,with cascading impacts on food security and ecosystem resilience.This study utilized observational data and two new generation reanalysis products(i.e.,the fifth major global reanalysis produced by ECMWF(ERA5)and the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century(JRA-3Q))to investigate the shift changes in precipitation in NEC around 2000 and associated water vapor transport.The analysis identified a pivotal interdecadal shift in 1998/99,transitioning from moderate increases(17.5 mm/10 yr during 1980-1998)to accelerated but more variable precipitation growth(85.4 mm/10 yr post-1999).While the mean precipitation during the post-shift period decreased,enhanced anticyclonic circulation amplified moisture divergence over continental NEC,redirecting vapor flux toward coastal regions.Crucially,trajectory analysis demonstrated regime-dependent moisture sourcing:midlatitude westerlies dominated during wet extremes(44% of trajectories in 1998),whereas East Asian monsoon flows prevailed in drought years(36% of trajectories in 2007).The post-1998 period exhibited increased reliance on localized recycling(45%of mid-tropospheric trajectories),reflecting weakened monsoonal inflow.These findings highlight NEC’s growing vulnerability to competing moisture pathways and atmospheric blocking-a dual mechanism that explains rising extremes despite declining mean precipitation.By reconciling dataset discrepancies(ERA5 vs.JRA-3Q trends)and elucidating circulation-precipitation linkages,this work provides actionable insights for climate-resilient agriculture in NEC’s water-stressed ecosystems.

文摘The development of cost-effective,strong,and ductile alloys for various temperatures is crucial but challenging for the modern industry.In this study,we designed a series of novel L1_(2)-strengthened(Fe_(58.98)Ni_(31.7)Al_(6)Ti_(3)Zr_(0.1)C_(0.2)B_(0.02))_(100-x)Cr_(x)(x=0,4,8,and 13 at%)Fe-based medium-entropy alloys(MEAs).The alloy with 8%Cr content demonstrated optimal mechanical properties from-196℃to 700℃,outperforming numerous MEAs and austenitic stainless steels.At 25℃,it exhibited a yield strength and elongation of~843 MPa and 23%,respectively.Both strength and ductility improved as the temperature decreased from 25℃to-196℃.The excellent mechanical properties at 25℃are attributed to the synergistic effects of L1_(2)nanoprecipitates,dislocations,slip bands,and stacking faults.In the sample deformed at-196℃,Lomer-Cottrell locks were also observed.Furthermore,at 700℃,the MEA maintains a high yield strength of~766 MPa and elongations of 26%,which is attributed to the shearing of L1_(2)precipitate and dislocation slips.This study provides a foundation for developing advanced alloys for use across a wide temperature range.

文摘Overcoming the strength-ductility trade-off in alloys without complex post-processing remains a critical challenge.Here,we designed a hierarchical heterostructure of micro-cellular segregation(MCS)and supranano precipitates(SNPs)in the directly cast medium-entropy alloy(MEA),achieving higher strength without a significant loss of plasticity.This MCS-SNP alloy exhibits a superior combination of tensile strength(~922 MPa)and elongation(~32%)compared with most traditional ascast face-centered cubic(FCC)alloys.The MCS impedes the movement of the slip bands and maintains the flow stress in the work-hardening process.The SNPs enhance the pinning effect of dislocations,providing an additional source of work hardening together with microbands.The synergistic effect of MCS and SNP generates significant back stress at both micro and nano scales.The findings of this study provide a promising strategy for designing high-performance casting alloys with integrated microscale cellular segregation and supranano precipitate structures.

文摘Smart pesticide delivery systems based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have attracted considerable attention because of their potential to enhance pesticide efficiency while reducing environmental risks.In this study,a novel p H/glutathione dual-responsive pesticide delivery system was constructed through the synthesis of disulfide-bridged hollow mesoporous organosilica nanospheres(HMONs)via the St??ber method,followed by poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)coating through distillation-precipitation polymerization to form HMONs@PAA nanocomposites.The resulting abamectin-loaded system(Abamectin-HMONs@PAA)demonstrated a 12.73% pesticide loading capacity and significantly improved photostability,retaining twice as much active ingredient as free abamectin after 250 h of UV irradiation(36 W).Release studies revealed p H-and glutathione-dependent characteristics,with cumulative releases in acidic conditions exceeding those in neutral and alkaline environments by 18.66% and 40.98%,respectively,and a 14.2% increase in glutathione-containing solution(0.2 mmol·L^(-1) in 70% ethanol)after 97 h.Bioassays showed superior performance against Plutella xylostella,with a 13.33% reduction in survival rate compared to conventional suspension at equivalent dosage(40 mg·L^(-1)),while maintaining efficacy after extensive rainfall simulation(20 events over 10 days).This study provides a promising approach for developing environmentally responsive nanopesticides with enhanced durability and controlled-release properties,offering significant potential for sustainable crop protection.

文摘Recent studies have confirmed the critical and essential role of elemental hydrolysis in metallogenic processes,such as metal migration and precipitation.However,the kinetic processes,characteristics,and formation mechanisms of hydrolyzed precipitates require further comprehensive investigation.This paper is based on a systematic investigation of the hydrolysis mechanisms of Pb and Zn in various systems under ambient temperature and pressure,the storage conditions of the hydrolyzed precipitates,and the characterization of these precipitates.The results indicate that the hydrolysis behaviors of Pb and Zn exhibit significant differences across various systems.Within the monometallic regime,there is a pronounced disparity in the hydrolysis rates between Pb ions and Zn ions.Pb ions demonstrate a substantially higher degree of hydrolysis,a trend that persists over time and remains largely unaffected by the fluid retention or isolation"phenomenon in the surrounding environment.Both hydrolytic precipitation rates were observed to decrease in the mixed system,with Zn ions exhibiting less reduction than Pb ions.After hydrolysis,hydrolyzed precipitates can remain in the fluid environment for extended periods of time,which can lead to re-dissolution.Over time,this re-dissolution can increase,eventually leading to significant loss of hydrolyzed precipitates.The hydrolyzed precipitates obtained from the experiments primarily consisted of alkaline carbonates of Pb and Zn.Notably,the crystalline characteristics of the hydrolysis products of Pb and Zn ions exhibited significant differences across various experimental systems;however,the crystallographic characteristics of the primary hydrolysis products are essentially identical to those of their corresponding natural counterparts.Based on the findings from physical phase analysis and previous research,it is concluded that the hydrolysis process consists of three main stages:oxides/hydroxides,carbonates,and alkali carbonates.In the Pb-Zn-NaCl-H_(2)O system,the proportion of the basic carbonate products of Pb and Zn is 6:2.This research offers an in-depth analysis of the hydrolysis dynamics of lead and zinc under ambient temperature and pressure conditions.Furthermore,it characterizes the crystallization features of the hydrolyzed precipitates and reconstructs the three stages of the formation process.This study holds significant scientific value for understanding the metallogenic mechanisms of Pb and Zn.

文摘This study investigates the width of the secondary eyewall(SE)immediately following its formation in tropical cyclones with surface environmental winds aligned and counter-aligned with environmental vertical wind shear(VWS),using idealized numerical experiments.Results reveal that the SE develops greater radial extent when surface winds align with VWS compared to counter-aligned conditions.In alignment configurations,shear-enhanced surface winds on the right flank amplify surface enthalpy fluxes,thereby elevating boundary-layer entropy within the downshear outer-core region.Subsequently,more vigorous outer rainbands develop,inducing marked acceleration of tangential winds in the outer core preceding SE formation.The resultant radial expansion of supergradient winds near the boundary-layer top triggers widespread convective activity immediately beyond the inner core.Progressive axisymmetrization of this convective forcing ultimately generates an expansive SE structure.

文摘Using multi-source reanalysis data,this study examines the relationship between the tropical Pacific-Atlantic SST Dipole Mode(TPA-DM)and summer precipitation in North China(NCSP)on the interannual timescale during the period of 1979-2022.The results show that the TPA-DM,the dominant pattern of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic regions,exhibits a significant negative correlation with NCSP.The positive phase of TPA-DM induces subsidence over the Maritime Continent through a zonal circulation pattern,which initiates a Pacific-Japan-like wave train along the East Asian coast.The circulation anomalies lead to moisture deficits and convergence subsidence over North China,leading to below-normal rainfall.Further analysis reveals that cooler SST in the Southern Tropical Atlantic facilitates the persistence of the TPA-DM by stimulating the anomalous Walker circulation associated with wind-evaporation-SST-convection feedback.

文摘Bacterial cells are widely accepted as nucleation sites for calcium carbonate precipitation in biomineralization based on the Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation(MICP)process.For MICP-based insitu biotreatment,the firstproblem to be solved is how to introduce and retain the bacterial cells in the soil,which involves the migration and retention of bacterial cells during the biogrouting process.Soil particle size,a key factor in determining pore throat size,can have a significanteffect on the migration and retention of bacterial cells in the soil and therefore on biomineralization.To investigate the effect of particle size on the migration and retention of bacterial cells in sand and its biomineralization,two sets of tests were carried out in this study,including percolation tests and sand column treatment tests.Soil urease activity(definedas urease activity per unit mass of soil)and calcium carbonate content of the biomineralized sand were measured to comprehensively assess the migration and retention of bacterial cells in the sand.The results indicate that sands with a particle size smaller than 0.25 mmwould inhibit the migration of bacteria in the sand,resulting in a nonuniform distribution of precipitated calcium carbonate and a low strength enhancement of biomineralization.On the other hand,sands with a particle size larger than 1.18 mm are unfavorable for retaining bacterial cells in the sand,resulting in low calcium conversion efficiency.Meanwhile,particle size would also affect the formation of effective calcium carbonate through interparticle contact number and interparticle pore size,and thus biomineralization.

文摘Scandium(Sc)is a critical metal with increasing demand driven by its applications in high-technology industries.The Late Permian claystones in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou region of southwestern(SW)China represent a potentially new and important Sc resource.This study investigates the distribution,occurrence,and source of Sc in claystones from the Weining area in western Guizhou,and discusses its precipitation mechanism.The sedimentary succession primarily comprises successive layers of ferric,aluminous,carbonaceous,tuffaceous,and silty clastic claystones from bottom to top.Scandium is mainly enriched in ferric claystones,with concentrations reaching up to 56 ppm,while other types contain less than 30 ppm.The principal Sc-hosting minerals include goethite,anatase,brookite,zircon,and xenotime.High-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates that Sc(~0.9 wt%)is homogeneously distributed within nanometer-scale zircon.The presence of xenotime inclusions within zircon suggests a sedimentary origin.Rare earth element and platinum-group element patterns,together with trace element ratios,indicate that Sc in ferric horizons was derived from intense subaerial weathering of high-Ti basalts and precipitated under oxygenated aquatic conditions.Subsequent multi-stage hydrodynamic processes,including marine transgression-regression and fluvial reworking,facilitated Sc remobilization via mineral dissolution-reprecipitation,ultimately leading to further enrichment within ferric horizons through downward migration.

文摘Based on reanalysis data from 1979 to 2021,this study explores the spatial distribution of the Southern Indian Ocean Dipole(SIOD)and its individual and synergistic effects with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)on summer precipitation in China.The inverse phase spatial distribution of sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs)in the southwest and northeast of the southern Indian Ocean is defined as the SIOD.Positive SIOD events(positive SSTAs in the southwest,negative SSTAs in the northeast)are associated with La Niña events(Central Pacific(CP)type),while negative SIOD events(negative SSTAs in the southwest,positive SSTAs in the northeast)are associated with El Niño events(Eastern Pacific(EP)type).Both SIOD and ENSO have certain impacts on summer precipitation in China.Precipitation in the Yangtze River basin decreases,while precipitation in southern China increases during pure positive SIOD(P_PSIOD)events.During pure negative SIOD(P_NSIOD)events,the changes in precipitation are exactly the opposite of those during P_PSIOD events,which may be due to differences in the cross-equatorial flow in the southern Indian Ocean,particularly in low-level Australian cross-equatorial flow.When positive SIOD and CP-type La Niña events occur simultaneously(PSIOD+La_Niña),precipitation increases in the Yangtze-Huaihe River basin,while it decreases in northern China.When negative SIOD and EP-type El Niño events occur simultaneously(NSIOD+El_Niño),precipitation in the Yangtze-Huaihe River basin is significantly lower than during P_NSIOD events.This is caused by differences in water vapor originating from the Pacific Ocean during different events.
