Land-surface schemes have been demonstrated to be crucial to numerical weather predictions.However, few studies have explored the impact of land surface schemes on short-range high-temperature weather forecasts via operational numerical weather prediction models. To evaluate the impact of the soil thermal process on high-temperature weather forecasts, we coupled the soil thermal process of the state-of-the-art Common Land Model(CoLM) with the South China operational numerical weather prediction model(CMA-TRAMS) and compared the coupled model with the original CMA-TRAMS, which incorporated the Simplified Model for land Surface(SMS). Contrast experiments based on two versions of CMA-TRAMS were conducted for the year 2022 when persistent extreme heatwaves were observed in Central-East China. The results are as follows:(1) Short-range high-temperature weather forecasts were sensitive to soil thermal process schemes. The original CMA-TRAMS clearly underestimated the summertime near-surface air temperature(T2m) over almost all areas of China, whereas the CoLM led to a reduction of the negative biases by approximately 0.5°C.(2) The more accurate initial soil temperatures and the deeper soil structure used in the CoLM test contributed to actual predictions of soil heat flux, soil temperature, and T2m. Nevertheless, the SMS test failed to capture upward heat transport from deeper to shallower soil layers at night due to the shallow soil structure and lower accuracy of the bottom and initial soil temperatures.(3) Higher soil temperatures resulted in increased near-surface moisture and cloud cover in the CoLM test, which led to the warmer soil and further mitigated the cold biases of T2m through reduced longwave and shortwave radiation losses at the land surface.展开更多

Last year, a 10 kW class lab-scale PHE prototype made of Hastelloy-X was manufactured at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), and a performance test of the PHE prototype is currently underway in a small-scale nitrogen gas loop at KAERI. The PHE prototype is composed of two kinds of flow plates: grooves 1.0 mm in diameter machined into the flow plate for the primary coolant, and waved channels bent into the flow plate for the secondary coolant. Inside the 10 kW class lab-scale PHE prototype, twenty flow plates for the primary and secondary coolants are stacked in turn. In this study, to understand the macroscopic structural behavior of the PHE prototype under the steady-state operating condition of the gas loop, high-temperature structural analyses on the 10 kW class lab-scale PHE prototype were performed for two extreme cases: in the event of contacting the flow plates together, and when not contacting them. The analysis results for the extreme cases were also compared.展开更多

The microstructure of this grid plate with a life more than 18 months was studied by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results show that high hardness, high intensity and good impact property make the new kind of heat-resistant grid plate and its oxide film have a higher resistance to deformation and abrasion at 900-1000℃ Besides, small grain size is beneficial to form a complete protective oxide film. The oxide film composed of SiO2 layer, Cr2O3 layer and Fe2O3 layer is rather thin and bonds closely with the backing. The forming of the chemical stable nickel-rich layer increases the density of Cr2O3 layer.展开更多

By the quantitative FTIR analysis of bauxite during dissolution , the process of dissolution and precipitation of silica was found to occur in three stages. In the first stage, there was no precipitation of desilication product (DSP). All the silica dissolved from kaolinite went into the solution. In the second stage, the silica concentration in solution attained a maximum and then dropped very quickly. The precipitation of DSP was the main cause of the reduction of the silica concentration in solution. In the third stage, the concentration of DSP reached a constant level. The dissolution and precipitation process gradually attained an equilibrium. The mechanism of silica dissolution and DSP precipitation was discussed on the basis of the FTIR quantitative analysis of kaolinite and DSP in bauxite.展开更多

The effect of heat treatment process on wear resistance was systematically studied in order to select heat treatment processes of the steel with high wear resistance. The morphology, structure and composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) ; wear mechanism was also discussed. Tribo-oxide layer was found to form on worn surfaces to reduce wear under low loads, but appear inside the matrix to increase wear under high loads. The tribo-oxides were mainly consisted of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3, FeO only appeared under a high load. Oxidative mild wear, transition of mild-severe wear in oxidative wear and extrusive wear took turns to operate with increasing the load. The wear resistance strongly depended on the selection of heat treatment processes or microstructures. It was found that bainite presented a better wear resistance than martensite plus bainite duplex structure, martensite structure was of the poorest wear resistance. The wear resistance increased with increasing austenizing temperature in the range of 920 to 1 120 ℃, then decreased at up to 1 220 ℃. As for tempering temperature and microstructure, the wear resistance increased in following order: 700℃ (tempered sorbite), 200 ℃ (tempered martensite), 440 to 650 ℃ (tempered troostite). An appropriate combination of hardness, toughness, microstructural thermal stability was re- quired for a good wear resistance in high-temperature wear. The optimized heat treatment process was suggested for the cast hot-forging steel to be austenized at 1020 to 1 120 ℃, quenched in oil, then tempered at 440 to 650℃ for 2 h.展开更多

It was confirmed that sodium aluminosilicates with different phase compositions synthesized at various roasting conditions were effectively digested in the alkaline digestion process. Under the optimum conditions at temperature of 100–120°C, liquid-to-solid ratio(L/S) of 10:2 mL/g, caustic ratio of 4, and Na_2O concentration of 240 g/L, the actual and relative digestion ratio of Al_2O_3 from the synthesized sodium aluminosilicates reached maximums of about 65% and 95%, respectively, while SiO_2 was barely leached out. To validate the superior digestion property of sodium aluminosilicate generated via an actual process, the Bayer digestion of an Al_2O_3-rich material derived from reductive roasting of bauxite and comprising Na_(1.75) Al_(1.75) Si_(0.25)O_4 was conducted; the relative digestion ratio of Al_2O_3 attained 90% at 200°C.展开更多

A great advantage of two-stream process is to avoid or reduce efficiently serious scaling problem of bauxite slurry on indirect heating surface, which certainly happens in the single stream process and brings about great troubles to the indirect heating. As a result of a great number of experiments and the theoretical analysis, a new lime adding technology for the two-stream digestion process is developed in this paper that lime is added into spent liquor stream instead of bauxite slurry, which is more suitable to the two-stream process of diasporic bauxite. The influences of the new lime addition technology on preheating and digestion process were discussed. It was deduced that the new technology can be used efficiently in the two-stream process of non-diasporic bauxite.展开更多

文摘The conversion mechanism of Al-goethite under the action of different additives(lime or reductant for typical or reductive Bayer digestion)was investigated by thermodynamic calculation,XRD,and SEM-EDS.The results show that the formation of Fe-substituted hydrocalumite is crucial to converting Al-goethite to hematite during Bayer digestion by adding lime.However,the conversion proceeds more easily under the action of reductant due to the rapid formation of magnetite.Additionally,Bayer liquor composition significantly affects the product composition and also the conversion rate of Al-goethite.Compared to typical Bayer digestion with Al-goethite containing gibbsitic bauxite as raw material,the red mud yield of reductive Bayer digestion decreases from 39.02%to 31.19%,and the grade of TFe in red mud increases from 41.66%to 53.80%.
文摘To further improve the oxidation-resistance of materials and reduce the cost of grid plates in grate-kiln, a new kind of heat-resistant grid plate was developed. The microstructure of this grid plate with a life more than 18 months was studied by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results show that high hardness, high intensity and good impact property make the new kind of heat-resistant grid plate and its oxide film have a higher resistance to deformation and abrasion at 900-1000℃ Besides, small grain size is beneficial to form a complete protective oxide film. The oxide film composed of SiO2 layer, Cr2O3 layer and Fe2O3 layer is rather thin and bonds closely with the backing. The forming of the chemical stable nickel-rich layer increases the density of Cr2O3 layer.

文摘Thermodynamic diagrams of Na−S−Fe−H_(2)O system were constructed to analyze the behavior of sulfur and iron in the Bayer process.After digestion,iron mainly exists as Fe_(3)O_(4) and Fe_(2)O_(3) in red mud,and partial iron transfers into solution as Fe(OH)_(3)^(−),HFeO_(2)^(−),Fe(OH)_(4)^(−)and Fe(OH)_(4)^(2−).The dominant species of sulfur is S^(2−),followed by SO_(4)^(2−),and then SO_(3)^(2−)and S_(2)O_(3)^(2−).The thermodynamic analysis is consistent with the iron and sulfur species distribution in the solution obtained by experiments.When the temperature decreases,sulfur and iron can combine and precipitate.Controlling low potential and reducing temperature are beneficial to removing them from the solution.XRD patterns show that NaFeS_(2)·2H_(2)O,FeS and FeS_(2) widely appear in red mud and precipitates of pyrite and high-sulfur bauxite digestion solution.Thermodynamic analysis can be utilized to guide the simultaneous removal of sulfur and iron in the Bayer process.
文摘A quantitative Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technique mas established by comparison with chemical analysis and quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. By the quantitative FTIR analysis of bauxite during dissolution , the process of dissolution and precipitation of silica was found to occur in three stages. In the first stage, there was no precipitation of desilication product (DSP). All the silica dissolved from kaolinite went into the solution. In the second stage, the silica concentration in solution attained a maximum and then dropped very quickly. The precipitation of DSP was the main cause of the reduction of the silica concentration in solution. In the third stage, the concentration of DSP reached a constant level. The dissolution and precipitation process gradually attained an equilibrium. The mechanism of silica dissolution and DSP precipitation was discussed on the basis of the FTIR quantitative analysis of kaolinite and DSP in bauxite.

文摘Dry sliding wear tests of a Cr-Mo-V cast hot-forging die steel was carried out within a load range of 50--300 N at 400℃ by a pin-on-disc high temperature wear machine. The effect of heat treatment process on wear resistance was systematically studied in order to select heat treatment processes of the steel with high wear resistance. The morphology, structure and composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) ; wear mechanism was also discussed. Tribo-oxide layer was found to form on worn surfaces to reduce wear under low loads, but appear inside the matrix to increase wear under high loads. The tribo-oxides were mainly consisted of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3, FeO only appeared under a high load. Oxidative mild wear, transition of mild-severe wear in oxidative wear and extrusive wear took turns to operate with increasing the load. The wear resistance strongly depended on the selection of heat treatment processes or microstructures. It was found that bainite presented a better wear resistance than martensite plus bainite duplex structure, martensite structure was of the poorest wear resistance. The wear resistance increased with increasing austenizing temperature in the range of 920 to 1 120 ℃, then decreased at up to 1 220 ℃. As for tempering temperature and microstructure, the wear resistance increased in following order: 700℃ (tempered sorbite), 200 ℃ (tempered martensite), 440 to 650 ℃ (tempered troostite). An appropriate combination of hardness, toughness, microstructural thermal stability was re- quired for a good wear resistance in high-temperature wear. The optimized heat treatment process was suggested for the cast hot-forging steel to be austenized at 1020 to 1 120 ℃, quenched in oil, then tempered at 440 to 650℃ for 2 h.

文摘In pyrometallurgical process, Al-and Si-bearing minerals in iron and aluminum ores are easily transformed into sodium aluminosilicates in the presence of Na_2O constituents, which alters the leaching behaviors of Al_2O_3 and SiO_2. It was confirmed that sodium aluminosilicates with different phase compositions synthesized at various roasting conditions were effectively digested in the alkaline digestion process. Under the optimum conditions at temperature of 100–120°C, liquid-to-solid ratio(L/S) of 10:2 mL/g, caustic ratio of 4, and Na_2O concentration of 240 g/L, the actual and relative digestion ratio of Al_2O_3 from the synthesized sodium aluminosilicates reached maximums of about 65% and 95%, respectively, while SiO_2 was barely leached out. To validate the superior digestion property of sodium aluminosilicate generated via an actual process, the Bayer digestion of an Al_2O_3-rich material derived from reductive roasting of bauxite and comprising Na_(1.75) Al_(1.75) Si_(0.25)O_4 was conducted; the relative digestion ratio of Al_2O_3 attained 90% at 200°C.
文摘Indirect heating and intensified digestion technology can be applied to reduce greatly the energy consumption in Bayer process of diasporic bauxite. A great advantage of two-stream process is to avoid or reduce efficiently serious scaling problem of bauxite slurry on indirect heating surface, which certainly happens in the single stream process and brings about great troubles to the indirect heating. As a result of a great number of experiments and the theoretical analysis, a new lime adding technology for the two-stream digestion process is developed in this paper that lime is added into spent liquor stream instead of bauxite slurry, which is more suitable to the two-stream process of diasporic bauxite. The influences of the new lime addition technology on preheating and digestion process were discussed. It was deduced that the new technology can be used efficiently in the two-stream process of non-diasporic bauxite.
