A chemical dewatering and stabilization/solidification （S/S） alternative for the sludge was developed, using calcined aluminum salts （AS） as solidifier, and CaCl 2 , Na 2 SO 4 and CaSO 4 as accelerators, to enhance the mechanical compressibility making the landfill operation possible. The properties of the resultant matrixes were determined in terms of moisture contents, unconfined compressive strength, products of hydration, and toxicity characteristics. The results showed that AS exhibited a moderate pozzolanic activity, and the mortar AS 0 obtained with 5% AS and 10% CaSO 4 of AS by weight presented a moisture contents below 50%–60% and a compressive strength of （51.32 ± 2.9） kPa after 5–7 days of curing time, meeting the minimum requirement for sanitary landfill. The use of CaSO 4 obviously improved the S/S performance, causing higher strength level. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry investigations revealed that a large amount of hydrates （viz., gismondine and CaCO 3 ） were present in solidified sludge, leading to the depletion of evaporable water and the enhancement of the strength. In addition, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure （TCLP） and horizontal vibration （HJ 557-2009） leaching test were conducted to evaluate their environmental compatibility. It was found that the solidified products conformed to the toxicity characteristic criteria in China and could be safely disposed of in a sanitary landfill.展开更多

The physical properties, heavy metals-fixing capacity, mineral phases and its vibration bands in the novel matrices were characterized by compressive strength, TCLP（toxic characteristic leaching procedure）, XRD （x-ray diffraction） , DTG （derivative thermogravimetry）, and FTIR （fourier transform infrared spectroscopy）, respectively. The Tessier＇s five-step sequential extraction procedure was used to analyze the fractions of chemical speciation for Pb, Cd and Zn ions. The experimental results indicate that Friedel-Ettringite based novel solidification/stabilization matrices can incorporate Pb, Cd and Zn ions effectively by physical encapsulation and chemical fixation, and it exhibits a great potential in co-landfill treatment of MSWI fly ash with some heavy metals-bearing hazardous wastes.展开更多

Results showed that AASC prepared from 14% low modulus water glass and blast furnace slag presented its compressive strength of hardened cement paste of 69.6, 84.0 and 91.8 MPa at 3, 7, and 28 d curing ages respectively. Flowability of the fresh railings-cement pastes and the strength development of hardened tailings-cement paste were also tested both in the cases with addition of AASC and Portland cement. The fresh tailings-cemant paste added with AASC presented much better flowability and the corresponding hardened paste presented higher compressive strength, especially the long term strength, than those added with Portland cement. Therefore, tallings paste added with AASC allowed lager solid content than that of Portland cement in order to keep the similar flowability. SEM observation on the microstructure of the hardened tailings-AASC mixture pastes showed obvious cementation effect. MIP measurements also showed that the total porosity of the hardened tailings-cement pastes decreased, and the portion of larger pore also decreased when the dosage of AASC increased. It is believed that AASC is more suitable to be used as a binder for the stabilization of zinc-lead railings and for its backfilling operation than Portland cement.展开更多

This study stabilized the sewage sludge via the using of conventional curing agents and calcined aluminum salts,and the corresponding dewatering mechanisms and structural changes of the stabilized sludge were further comparable analyzed.Experimental results showed that wollastonite and kaolin exhibit a relative higher dewatering efficiency as compared to other conventional curing agents; however the releasing rate of heavy metals of Cu,Cr,Ni for kaolin solidification and Zn,Pb for wollastonite solidification is higher than the sludge samples solidified by other curing agents. For comparison,the sludge samples solidified by calcined aluminum salts (AS),calcium ash,Mg-based curing agent,tricalcium aluminate( C_3A) show a lower heavy metals leaching potential and unconfined compressive strength. In addition,the economic characteristics and local availability of AS,calcium ash,C_3A and CaO makes it have a broad prospect in extension and application. These findings are of great significance for stabilization and dewatering of sewage sludge.展开更多

The results showed that,increasing of curing ages could increase unconfined compressive strength and reduce moisture content for solidified sludge. For the test of two components,the biggest unconfined compressive strength of the solidified sludge achieved to 543. 72 kPa and the minimum moisture content achieved to 3. 56% of 21 d. The optimum proportion of the sludge curing agent of two components is sludge: cement: slag = 1 ∶ 0. 05 ∶ 0. 2 which selected by Design-expert. It could rapidly increasing the unconfined compressive strength of solidified sludge when added three components sludge curing agent( sludge: cement: slag: MgSO4= 1 ∶ 0. 05 ∶ 0. 2 ∶ 0. 03) on sludge curing. The results showed that,curing ages of 7 d,the unconfined compressive strength could achieve to 126. 74 kPa,which was more than 11 times comparison with the solidified sludge curing by two components curing agent. Two or three components sludge curing agent all could stabilize the heavy metals on solidified sludge and the leaching of heavy metals was below the government standard,while the stability of the heavy metals was superior for three components sludge curing agent.展开更多

文摘The influences of silicon addition to commercially pure magnesium(CP Mg)and cooling rate during solidification on the as-cast microstructure and shear mechanical properties of Mg-Si alloys were systematically investigated.For this purpose,the Mg-0.6Si,Mg-1.34Si,and Mg-3Si(wt%)alloys were considered as hypoeutectic,eutectic,and hypereutectic alloys,respectively.By decreasing the geometrical modulus of the solidifying section(increasing cooling rate),remarkable grain refinement,refining the dendrite arm spacing(DAS),and modification of Mg_(2)Si particles were achieved.Moreover,the grain size was refined via Si addition in the hypoeutectic range,while coarsening of grain size at high Si concentrations was observed.The results of shear punch testing and hardness measurements demonstrated that the ultimate shear strength(USS)and hardness increased by increasing the cooling rate during solidification.Moreover,Si addition generally improved hardness,while the highest USS level was achieved for the eutectic alloy due to the fine grain size and strengthening effect of the eutectic constituent.However,regarding the hypereutectic Mg-3Si alloy that exhibited high hardness,the shear properties were inferior due to the detrimental effect of the primary Mg_(2)Si particles.Finally,the results were discussed with consideration of the relationship between strength and hardness,for which the critical effect of Si was clarified.

文摘The high-alloyed wrought superalloy GH4975 tends to form coarse MC carbides and eutectic(γ+γ′)phases,which adversely affect the cogging and homogenization process.To provide theoretical guidance for control of MC carbides and eutectic(γ+γ′)formation,differential thermal analysis(DTA)was utilized to investigate the effect of cooing rate(10-90℃·min^(-1))on solidification behavior and micro-segregation of GH4975 alloy.According to the thermodynamic calculation and distribution characteristics of precipitates,the MC carbides can act as nucleation sites forγdendrites,but the nucleation ofγdendrites becomes less dependent on the MC carbide primers at higher cooling rates.As theγdendrites grow,the elements including Ti and Nb gradually accumulate in the residual liquid and leads to the formation of more MC carbides near the interdendritic region.Finally,the solidification is terminated with the formation of eutectic(γ+γ′).With an increase in cooling rate,the liquidus temperature rises,but the solidus temperature decreases,and thus the solidification range is obviously enlarged.The dendritic structure is significantly refined by the increase of cooling rate.The secondary dendrite arm spacing,λ_(2),as a function of cooling rate,T,can be expressed asλ_(2)=216.78T^(-0.42).Moreover,the increasing cooling rate weakens the back diffusion of Al,Ti,and Nb,increases the undercooling,and limits the growth of precipitates.Consequently,the sizes of MC carbides,eutectic(γ+γ′),and primaryγ′significantly decrease,but the area fraction of eutectic(γ+γ′)linerly increases as the cooling rate rises.Thus moderate cooling rate(such as 30℃·min^(-1))should be selected during the solidification process of GH4975 alloy.

文摘The insufficient absolute strength of Mg-Li alloys severely restricts their aerospace applications.To address this limitation,a dual-phase Mg-Li alloy with enhanced strength was fabricated through rapid solidification combined with hot-press sintering and extrusion.The optimized alloy exhibited yield and ultimate tensile strengths of 283 MPa and 306 MPa under quasi-static loading,respectively,while retaining a uniform elongation of 6%.Multiscale microstructural characterization via XRD,SEM-EBSD,and TEM revealed that rapid solidification induced remarkable grain refinement and precipitate redistribution.Subsequent thermomechanical processing achieved full dynamic recrystallization with refined grains.Crucially,the rapid solidification kinetics notably altered Al partitioning,favoring solid solution in magnesium phase over precipitation in lithium phase.These microstructural modifications activate synergistic strengthening mechanisms:1)Hall-Petch hardening from grain refinement,2)dispersion strengthening via nano-precipitates,3)dislocation strengthening from substructures,and 4)solid solution effects from Al supersaturation.This work establishes a microstructure design paradigm for high-performance Mg-Li alloys through coupled rapid solidification and thermomechanical processing.

文摘The refinement of the as-cast grain structure in austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel depends on the formation of active solid nuclei during solidification.Titanium(Ti)additions successfully induced the formation of Ti-containing inclusions,enhancing heterogeneous nucleation and promoting equiaxed dendritic growth in 347H stainless steel.Thermal simulation experiments indicated that the equiaxed crystal ratios increased notably with Ti content;samples with 0.06,0.12,and 0.36 wt.%Ti exhibited equiaxed ratios of 18%,24%,and 41%,respectively.Three primary inclusion types—TiN,Al_(2)O_(3)-TiN,and TiO_(x)-TiN—were identified at the cores of equiaxed dendrites,with nucleation core sizes predominantly ranging from 0.5 to 8μm.Among the tested samples,the 0.36 wt.%Ti addition produced the highest nucleation core density.Increasing Ti content significantly elevated dendrite tip undercooling from 2.6 K(0.06 wt.%Ti)to 10.8 K(0.36 wt.%Ti),accelerating solidification front instability and thus enhancing heterogeneous nucleation.Additionally,higher Ti content increased the divergence angle between adjacent columnar dendrites,further promoting the columnar-to-equiaxed transition(CET).
文摘Unconfined Compressive Strength(UCS)is a key parameter for the assessment of the stability and performance of stabilized soils,yet traditional laboratory testing is both time and resource intensive.In this study,an interpretable machine learning approach to UCS prediction is presented,pairing five models(Random Forest(RF),Gradient Boosting(GB),Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGB),CatBoost,and K-Nearest Neighbors(KNN))with SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)for enhanced interpretability and to guide feature removal.A complete dataset of 12 geotechnical and chemical parameters,i.e.,Atterberg limits,compaction properties,stabilizer chemistry,dosage,curing time,was used to train and test the models.R2,RMSE,MSE,and MAE were used to assess performance.Initial results with all 12 features indicated that boosting-based models(GB,XGB,CatBoost)exhibited the highest predictive accuracy(R^(2)=0.93)with satisfactory generalization on test data,followed by RF and KNN.SHAP analysis consistently picked CaO content,curing time,stabilizer dosage,and compaction parameters as the most important features,aligning with established soil stabilization mechanisms.Models were then re-trained on the top 8 and top 5 SHAP-ranked features.Interestingly,GB,XGB,and CatBoost maintained comparable accuracy with reduced input sets,while RF was moderately sensitive and KNN was somewhat better owing to reduced dimensionality.The findings confirm that feature reduction through SHAP enables cost-effective UCS prediction through the reduction of laboratory test requirements without significant accuracy loss.The suggested hybrid approach offers an explainable,interpretable,and cost-effective tool for geotechnical engineering practice.

文摘The high moisture content （80%） in the sewage dewatered sludge is the main obstacle to disposal and recycling. A chemical dewatering and stabilization/solidification （S/S） alternative for the sludge was developed, using calcined aluminum salts （AS） as solidifier, and CaCl 2 , Na 2 SO 4 and CaSO 4 as accelerators, to enhance the mechanical compressibility making the landfill operation possible. The properties of the resultant matrixes were determined in terms of moisture contents, unconfined compressive strength, products of hydration, and toxicity characteristics. The results showed that AS exhibited a moderate pozzolanic activity, and the mortar AS 0 obtained with 5% AS and 10% CaSO 4 of AS by weight presented a moisture contents below 50%–60% and a compressive strength of （51.32 ± 2.9） kPa after 5–7 days of curing time, meeting the minimum requirement for sanitary landfill. The use of CaSO 4 obviously improved the S/S performance, causing higher strength level. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry investigations revealed that a large amount of hydrates （viz., gismondine and CaCO 3 ） were present in solidified sludge, leading to the depletion of evaporable water and the enhancement of the strength. In addition, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure （TCLP） and horizontal vibration （HJ 557-2009） leaching test were conducted to evaluate their environmental compatibility. It was found that the solidified products conformed to the toxicity characteristic criteria in China and could be safely disposed of in a sanitary landfill.

文摘The possibilities of MSWI fly ash as a major constituent of novel solidification/stabilization matrices for secure landfill were investigated by mixing MSWI fly ash with rich aluminum components, which was added as bauxite cement or metakaolinite instead, to form Friedel and Ettringite phases with high fixing capacities for heavy metals. The physical properties, heavy metals-fixing capacity, mineral phases and its vibration bands in the novel matrices were characterized by compressive strength, TCLP（toxic characteristic leaching procedure）, XRD （x-ray diffraction） , DTG （derivative thermogravimetry）, and FTIR （fourier transform infrared spectroscopy）, respectively. The Tessier＇s five-step sequential extraction procedure was used to analyze the fractions of chemical speciation for Pb, Cd and Zn ions. The experimental results indicate that Friedel-Ettringite based novel solidification/stabilization matrices can incorporate Pb, Cd and Zn ions effectively by physical encapsulation and chemical fixation, and it exhibits a great potential in co-landfill treatment of MSWI fly ash with some heavy metals-bearing hazardous wastes.

文摘An appropriate proportion of alkali activated slag cement, abbreviated as AASC later, was determined based on strength test of paste specimens. Results showed that AASC prepared from 14% low modulus water glass and blast furnace slag presented its compressive strength of hardened cement paste of 69.6, 84.0 and 91.8 MPa at 3, 7, and 28 d curing ages respectively. Flowability of the fresh railings-cement pastes and the strength development of hardened tailings-cement paste were also tested both in the cases with addition of AASC and Portland cement. The fresh tailings-cemant paste added with AASC presented much better flowability and the corresponding hardened paste presented higher compressive strength, especially the long term strength, than those added with Portland cement. Therefore, tallings paste added with AASC allowed lager solid content than that of Portland cement in order to keep the similar flowability. SEM observation on the microstructure of the hardened tailings-AASC mixture pastes showed obvious cementation effect. MIP measurements also showed that the total porosity of the hardened tailings-cement pastes decreased, and the portion of larger pore also decreased when the dosage of AASC increased. It is believed that AASC is more suitable to be used as a binder for the stabilization of zinc-lead railings and for its backfilling operation than Portland cement.

文摘One of the challenges faced by sewage sludge treatment and disposal is its higher water content,and how to efficient dewater those hazardous materials properly is welcome in practice. This study stabilized the sewage sludge via the using of conventional curing agents and calcined aluminum salts,and the corresponding dewatering mechanisms and structural changes of the stabilized sludge were further comparable analyzed.Experimental results showed that wollastonite and kaolin exhibit a relative higher dewatering efficiency as compared to other conventional curing agents; however the releasing rate of heavy metals of Cu,Cr,Ni for kaolin solidification and Zn,Pb for wollastonite solidification is higher than the sludge samples solidified by other curing agents. For comparison,the sludge samples solidified by calcined aluminum salts (AS),calcium ash,Mg-based curing agent,tricalcium aluminate( C_3A) show a lower heavy metals leaching potential and unconfined compressive strength. In addition,the economic characteristics and local availability of AS,calcium ash,C_3A and CaO makes it have a broad prospect in extension and application. These findings are of great significance for stabilization and dewatering of sewage sludge.

文摘The eutectic Ag-Cu alloys exhibiting fine Ag-Cu lamellar eutectic structure formed upon rapid solidification have great potentials being used in various engineering fields.However,the desired fine primary lamellar eutectic structure(PLES)is usually replaced by a coarse anomalous eutectic structure(AES)when the undercooling prior to solidification exceeds a certain value.The forming mechanism of AES in the undercooled eutectic Ag-Cu alloy has been a controversial issue.In this work,the undercooled Ag-39.9 at.% Cu eutectic alloy is solidified under different cooling conditions by using techniques of melt fluxing and copper mold casting.The results show that the coupled eutectic growth of this alloy undergoes a transition from a slow eutectic-cellular growth(ECG)to a rapid eutectic-dendritic growth(EDG)above a undercooling of 72 K,accompanying with an abrupt change of the distribution and amount of AES in as-solidified microstructures.Two kinds of primary lamellar eutectic structures are formed by ECG and EDG during recalescence,respectively.The destabilization of PLES that causes the formation of AES is ascribed to two different mechanisms based on the microstructural examination and theoretical calculations.Below 72 K,the destabilization of PLES formed by slow ECG is caused by the mechanism of"termination migration"driven by interfacial energy.While above 72 K,the destabilization of PLES formed by rapid EDG is attributed to the unstable perturbation of interface driven by interfacial energy and solute supersaturation.

文摘This work experimentally examined the optimal proportioning of sludge curing agent for dewatered sludge curing on solidified sludge,two components sludge curing agent consisted of cement and slag,and three components consisted of cement,slag and inorganic salt. The results showed that,increasing of curing ages could increase unconfined compressive strength and reduce moisture content for solidified sludge. For the test of two components,the biggest unconfined compressive strength of the solidified sludge achieved to 543. 72 kPa and the minimum moisture content achieved to 3. 56% of 21 d. The optimum proportion of the sludge curing agent of two components is sludge: cement: slag = 1 ∶ 0. 05 ∶ 0. 2 which selected by Design-expert. It could rapidly increasing the unconfined compressive strength of solidified sludge when added three components sludge curing agent( sludge: cement: slag: MgSO4= 1 ∶ 0. 05 ∶ 0. 2 ∶ 0. 03) on sludge curing. The results showed that,curing ages of 7 d,the unconfined compressive strength could achieve to 126. 74 kPa,which was more than 11 times comparison with the solidified sludge curing by two components curing agent. Two or three components sludge curing agent all could stabilize the heavy metals on solidified sludge and the leaching of heavy metals was below the government standard,while the stability of the heavy metals was superior for three components sludge curing agent.

文摘To solve the problems of high moisture content,high viscosity,and poor engineering mechanical properties of soil,this paper using with steel slag(SS)and desulfurization ash(DS)as initial raw materials,realizing the coop-erative treatment of solid waste and solidification of silt soil.The synergistic utilization of SS and DS can reduce the production cost of curing agent and promote its own consumption.According to blended cement of various SS contents and inspected compressive strength performances,the most suitable raw materials ratio was selected.The best formula for this curing agent is cement:steel slag=3:7 with 5%DS,and its 28-day compressive strength can reach 30 MPa.The experiment shows that the effect of DS and Na_(2)SO_(4) reagent with the same quality on early compressive strength improvement of cement and SS system is not much different.In this study,the mineral composition and microstructure of different gel system blocks were characterized by XRD,SEM and EDX,and a large number of webbed structures were found in the SEM test,which was not seen in previous studies.Besides,unconfined compressive strength(UCS),water resistance,and toxic characteristic leaching procedure(TCLP)were used to evaluate silt solidified soil properties.The results demonstrated that the solidified silt could meet not only the standard of general subgrade;but also has a partial stabilization effect of heavy metal ions.
