At present, most of the coking coal washeries are owned by Public Sector Companies; whereas, most of the non-coking coal washeries are owned by Private Sector. Even after six decades of coal washing practices, there has not been significant development in the coal washing intelligentsia. Indian Coal Washing industry is still dependent on imported equipment, which has been designed to treat coal that is significantly different from Indian coal of drift origin. In this paper, authors have ventured into evolution of Indian Coal Washing Industry （with a focus on coking coal washing sector）, its present condition and future prospect for growth. The paper emphasizes need for developing indigenous solutions to industrial challenges and highlights importance of increased coordination among academia-research institutions and coal industry.展开更多

In this study, nano-sulfonated graphene （SGE） was used as a washing agent to evaluate different processing （washing） parameters for the ectopic leaching removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） from a coking plant soil. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） were used to analyze the characteristics of the SGE tested. The results showed that SGE had a strong adsorption capacity for PAHs through the role of π-π, H-π, and anion-π interactions. The washing parameters, an SGE concentration of 2000 mg L-1, a liquid/soil （L/S） ratio of 10：1, and 4 cycles of successive washing, were set to arrive to the optimum condition for achieving more than 80% of PAH removal. Under the optimum condition, the PAH removal rate decreased with increasing ring numbers. After one washing cycle at SGE concentration of 2000 mg L-1 and L/S ratio of 10：1, the PAH removal rate of the SCE tested was much higher than that of Tween 80 （TW80） or methyl-β-cyclodextrin （MCD） （P 〈 0.01）. Therefore, SGE is a promising material for the nanoremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.展开更多

Experimental results show that successive washing is a continuation of the aging process of intermittent washing. After a successive washing, the pore types showed no difference with the intermittent washing. During successive washing, the characteristics of the pores in the range of 2-15 nm changed only very little. However, the distributions of the pore radius for pores of 20-50 and 300-1000 nm were obviously influenced. It was shown that the volume of larger pores decreased only to a smaller extent after the successive washing, as compared with that of the intermittent washing, and the pore size was affected by the condition of the successive washing. The roles of physisorbed water, intermicellar liquid, weakly bonded water, as well as the role of stirring, have been discussed.展开更多

The rapid development of social, economic and scientific technology has created favorable conditions for the improvement of the technical level of urban rail transit. The improvement of the technical level of urban rail transit has also made it more convenient for urban residents to travel and provided better services for residents. The application of driverless technology aims to explore reasonable solutions to reduce maintenance costs and improve operation efficiency. Based on the scene of full-automatic operation of urban rail transit, this paper explores the car washing scheme of full-automatic running trains and puts forward the solution, which provides a reference for the design of signal system and car washing system.展开更多

To address the associated environmental problems,this study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin（CMCD） and carboxymethyl chitosan（CMC） solution to enhance ex situ soil washing for extracting mixed contaminants. Further,Tenax extraction method was combined with a first-three-compartment model to evaluate the environmental risk of residual PAHs in washed soil. In addition,the redistribution of heavy metals/F after decontamination was also estimated using a sequential extraction procedure. Three successive washing cycles using50 g/L CMCD and 5 g/L CMC solution were effective to remove 94.3% of total PAHs,93.2% of Pb,85.8% of Cd,93.4% of Cr,83.2% of Ni and 97.3% of F simultaneously. After the 3rd washing,the residual PAHs mainly existed as very slowly desorbing fractions,which were in the form of well-aged,well-sequestered compounds; while the remaining Pb,Cd,Cr,Ni and F mainly existed as Fe–Mn oxide and residual fractions,which were always present in stable mineral forms or bound to non-labile soil fractions. Therefore,this combined cleanup strategy proved to be effective and environmentally friendly.展开更多

Natural association of As（Ⅴ） with Fe（Ⅲ） makes the process difficult. Soapnut solution was compared to anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate （SDS） in down-flow and a newly introduced suction mode for soil column washing. It was observed that soapnut attained up to 86% efficiency with respect to SDS in removing As. Full factorial design of experiment revealed a very good fit of data. The suction mode generated up to 83 kPa pressure inside column whilst down-flow mode generated a much higher pressure of 214 kPa, thus making the suction mode more efficient. Micellar solubilisation was found to be responsible for As desorption from the soil and it followed 1st order kinetics. Desorption rate coefficient of suction mode was found to be in the range of 0.005 to 0.01, much higher than down-flow mode values. Analysis of the PT-IR data suggested that the soapnut solution did not interact chemically with As, offering an option for reusing the surfactant. Soapnut can be considered as a soil washing agent for removing As even from soil with high Fe content.展开更多

The effect of washing pretreatment prior to melting the fly ash on the microstructure and properties of the glass-ceramics was examined. The results show that washing pretreatment of fly ash can decrease alkali metal chloride and increase network former in fly ash, which results in the increase of peak crystallization temperature of parent glass and strengthening of properties of bending strength and chemical stability of the glass-ceramics. The optimal heat treatment temperature for parent glass of washed fly ash is 1 173 K, at which the crystalline phase of glass-ceramics is composed of gelignite （Ca2A12SiO7） and akermanite （Ca2MgSi207）. Glass-ceramics produced at optimal heat treatment temperature are excellent in term of the physical and chemical properties and leaching characteristics, indicating attractive potential as substitute of nature materials.展开更多

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy（ICP-AES）, Fourier transformed infrared（FTIR） spectrum, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） were used to evaluate the elemental contents, structures, morphologies and electrochemical properties of samples. The results show that ethanol washing can remove effectively the synthetic residues LiOH/Li2 O on the freshly-prepared LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 and make the sample much more resistant to H2O and CO2, without destroying its bulk structure, surface morphology and electrochemical performances. Moreover, the discharge specific capacity and cycle performance of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 after storage in air with a relative humidity of 80% for three months are improved by immediate ethanol washing.展开更多

The results indicate that CO2 removal ratio could reach 34.6%- 94.2% as liquid/gas ratio increased from 0.14 to 0.50. Increasing pressure （from 0.8 to 1.2 MPa） could improve gas purification with a constant inflow rate of gas. Temperature played a key role in the process and lower temper- ature in absorption tower was beneficial for reducing CO2 content. CO2 removal ratio could reach 24.4%-83.2% when CO2 content in the simulated gas was 25%-45%. The lowest CO2 content after absorption was 2.6% at 1.2 MPa with 400 L·h-1 gas flow and 200 L·h-1 water flow, which meets the requirement of CO2 content in natural Ras for vehicle fuel.展开更多

However, washwater remained from soil washing process contains discrete particulate particles along with heavy metals as solution phase to be treated separately, as well as this process can produce large amount of sludge that requires further treatment, slow metal precipitation, poor settling, the aggregation of metal precipitates. Electrical treatments including electrocoagulation and electrolysis can be effective in removing these substances from washwater. This paper reviews the theoretical models in applying electrocoagulation and electrolysis to remove heavy metals and discrete particulate particles in washwater by examining and comparing the status of washwater treatment technologies which have been undertaken, mostly in the US and EU for the period 1990-2012.展开更多

文摘Coal Washing Exploration in India dates back to 1900s; though, first coking coal washeries in India were installed after independence. At present, most of the coking coal washeries are owned by Public Sector Companies; whereas, most of the non-coking coal washeries are owned by Private Sector. Even after six decades of coal washing practices, there has not been significant development in the coal washing intelligentsia. Indian Coal Washing industry is still dependent on imported equipment, which has been designed to treat coal that is significantly different from Indian coal of drift origin. In this paper, authors have ventured into evolution of Indian Coal Washing Industry （with a focus on coking coal washing sector）, its present condition and future prospect for growth. The paper emphasizes need for developing indigenous solutions to industrial challenges and highlights importance of increased coordination among academia-research institutions and coal industry.

文摘Ex-situ soil washing technology offers advantages such as speed and efficiency of remediation and range of application and has been developed to conform with legal requirements and best management practices in USA and some European countries. In this study, nano-sulfonated graphene （SGE） was used as a washing agent to evaluate different processing （washing） parameters for the ectopic leaching removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） from a coking plant soil. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） were used to analyze the characteristics of the SGE tested. The results showed that SGE had a strong adsorption capacity for PAHs through the role of π-π, H-π, and anion-π interactions. The washing parameters, an SGE concentration of 2000 mg L-1, a liquid/soil （L/S） ratio of 10：1, and 4 cycles of successive washing, were set to arrive to the optimum condition for achieving more than 80% of PAH removal. Under the optimum condition, the PAH removal rate decreased with increasing ring numbers. After one washing cycle at SGE concentration of 2000 mg L-1 and L/S ratio of 10：1, the PAH removal rate of the SCE tested was much higher than that of Tween 80 （TW80） or methyl-β-cyclodextrin （MCD） （P 〈 0.01）. Therefore, SGE is a promising material for the nanoremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.
文摘The effect of successive washing instead of traditional intermittent washing on the porous structure of pseudoboehmite was investigated by mercury porosimetry, N2 adsorption and thermal analysis, while the stabilities of different types of crystals were investigated by X-ray diffractometer. Experimental results show that successive washing is a continuation of the aging process of intermittent washing. After a successive washing, the pore types showed no difference with the intermittent washing. During successive washing, the characteristics of the pores in the range of 2-15 nm changed only very little. However, the distributions of the pore radius for pores of 20-50 and 300-1000 nm were obviously influenced. It was shown that the volume of larger pores decreased only to a smaller extent after the successive washing, as compared with that of the intermittent washing, and the pore size was affected by the condition of the successive washing. The roles of physisorbed water, intermicellar liquid, weakly bonded water, as well as the role of stirring, have been discussed.

文摘Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons（PAHs）/heavy metals/fluorine（F） mixed-contaminated sites caused by abandoned metallurgic plants are receiving wide attention. To address the associated environmental problems,this study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin（CMCD） and carboxymethyl chitosan（CMC） solution to enhance ex situ soil washing for extracting mixed contaminants. Further,Tenax extraction method was combined with a first-three-compartment model to evaluate the environmental risk of residual PAHs in washed soil. In addition,the redistribution of heavy metals/F after decontamination was also estimated using a sequential extraction procedure. Three successive washing cycles using50 g/L CMCD and 5 g/L CMC solution were effective to remove 94.3% of total PAHs,93.2% of Pb,85.8% of Cd,93.4% of Cr,83.2% of Ni and 97.3% of F simultaneously. After the 3rd washing,the residual PAHs mainly existed as very slowly desorbing fractions,which were in the form of well-aged,well-sequestered compounds; while the remaining Pb,Cd,Cr,Ni and F mainly existed as Fe–Mn oxide and residual fractions,which were always present in stable mineral forms or bound to non-labile soil fractions. Therefore,this combined cleanup strategy proved to be effective and environmentally friendly.

文摘This study explores the possible application of a biodegradable plant based surfactant, obtained from Sapindus mukorossi, for washing low levels of arsenic （As） from an iron （Fe） rich soil. Natural association of As（Ⅴ） with Fe（Ⅲ） makes the process difficult. Soapnut solution was compared to anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate （SDS） in down-flow and a newly introduced suction mode for soil column washing. It was observed that soapnut attained up to 86% efficiency with respect to SDS in removing As. Full factorial design of experiment revealed a very good fit of data. The suction mode generated up to 83 kPa pressure inside column whilst down-flow mode generated a much higher pressure of 214 kPa, thus making the suction mode more efficient. Micellar solubilisation was found to be responsible for As desorption from the soil and it followed 1st order kinetics. Desorption rate coefficient of suction mode was found to be in the range of 0.005 to 0.01, much higher than down-flow mode values. Analysis of the PT-IR data suggested that the soapnut solution did not interact chemically with As, offering an option for reusing the surfactant. Soapnut can be considered as a soil washing agent for removing As even from soil with high Fe content.

文摘Production of glass-ceramics by sintering the molten slag obtained from electric arc furnace treatment of fly ash was investigated. The effect of washing pretreatment prior to melting the fly ash on the microstructure and properties of the glass-ceramics was examined. The results show that washing pretreatment of fly ash can decrease alkali metal chloride and increase network former in fly ash, which results in the increase of peak crystallization temperature of parent glass and strengthening of properties of bending strength and chemical stability of the glass-ceramics. The optimal heat treatment temperature for parent glass of washed fly ash is 1 173 K, at which the crystalline phase of glass-ceramics is composed of gelignite （Ca2A12SiO7） and akermanite （Ca2MgSi207）. Glass-ceramics produced at optimal heat treatment temperature are excellent in term of the physical and chemical properties and leaching characteristics, indicating attractive potential as substitute of nature materials.

文摘Different LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode materials were washed by ethanol solvent. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy（ICP-AES）, Fourier transformed infrared（FTIR） spectrum, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） were used to evaluate the elemental contents, structures, morphologies and electrochemical properties of samples. The results show that ethanol washing can remove effectively the synthetic residues LiOH/Li2 O on the freshly-prepared LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 and make the sample much more resistant to H2O and CO2, without destroying its bulk structure, surface morphology and electrochemical performances. Moreover, the discharge specific capacity and cycle performance of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 after storage in air with a relative humidity of 80% for three months are improved by immediate ethanol washing.

文摘CO2 removal from biogas by water washing system was investigated with various parameters, including liquid/ gas ratio, pressure, temperature, and CO2 content. The results indicate that CO2 removal ratio could reach 34.6%- 94.2% as liquid/gas ratio increased from 0.14 to 0.50. Increasing pressure （from 0.8 to 1.2 MPa） could improve gas purification with a constant inflow rate of gas. Temperature played a key role in the process and lower temper- ature in absorption tower was beneficial for reducing CO2 content. CO2 removal ratio could reach 24.4%-83.2% when CO2 content in the simulated gas was 25%-45%. The lowest CO2 content after absorption was 2.6% at 1.2 MPa with 400 L·h-1 gas flow and 200 L·h-1 water flow, which meets the requirement of CO2 content in natural Ras for vehicle fuel.

文摘Batch experiments were conducted with a heavy metals and arsenic co-contaminated soil from an abandoned mine to evaluate the feasibility of a remediation technology that combines sieving with soil washing.Leaching of the arsenic and heavy metals from the different particle size fractions was found to decrease in the order：〈 0.1,2–0.1,and 〉 2 mm.With increased contact time,the concentration of heavy metals in the leachate was significantly decreased for small particles,probably because of adsorption by the clay soil component.For the different particle sizes,the removal efficiencies for Pb and Cd were75%–87%,and 61%–77% for Zn and Cu,although the extent of removal was decreased for As and Cr at 〈 45%.The highest efficiency by washing for Pb,Cd,Zn,and As was from the soil particles 〉 2 mm,although good metal removal efficiencies were also achieved in the small particle size fractions.Through SEM-EDS observations and correlation analysis,the leaching regularity of the heavy metals and arsenic was found to be closely related to Fe,Mn,and Ca contents of the soil fractions.The remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil by sieving combined with soil washing was proven to be efficient,and practical remediation parameters were also recommended.

文摘The prediction of Exhaust Gas Temperature Margin(EGTM)after washing aeroengines can provide a theoretical basis for airlines not only to evaluate the energy-saving effect and emission reduction,but also to formulate reasonable maintenance plans.However,the EGTM encounters step changes after washing aeroengines,while,in the traditional models,a persistence tendency exists between the prediction results and the previous data,resulting in low accuracy in prediction.In order to solve the problem,this paper develops a step parameters prediction model based on Transfer Process Neural Networks(TPNN).Especially,“step parameters”represent the parameters that can reflect EGTM step changes.They are analyzed in this study,and thus the model concentrates on the prediction of step changes rather than the extension of data trends.Transfer learning is used to handle the problem that few cleaning records result in few step changes for model learning.In comparison with Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and Kernel Extreme Learning Machine(KELM)models,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on CFM56-5B engine data.
文摘Soil washing, ex situ mechanical technique, is one of the few permanent treatment alternatives to remove metal contaminants from soils by employing physical separation based on mineral processing technologies to remove discrete particles or metal-bearing particles and/or chemical extraction based on leaching or dissolving process to extract the metals from the soils into an aqueous solution. However, washwater remained from soil washing process contains discrete particulate particles along with heavy metals as solution phase to be treated separately, as well as this process can produce large amount of sludge that requires further treatment, slow metal precipitation, poor settling, the aggregation of metal precipitates. Electrical treatments including electrocoagulation and electrolysis can be effective in removing these substances from washwater. This paper reviews the theoretical models in applying electrocoagulation and electrolysis to remove heavy metals and discrete particulate particles in washwater by examining and comparing the status of washwater treatment technologies which have been undertaken, mostly in the US and EU for the period 1990-2012.
