Hindered phenol compound 3,9-bis{1,1-dimethyl-2[β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy]ethyl}- 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane (AO-80) is a polymorphous material with different physical structures...Hindered phenol compound 3,9-bis{1,1-dimethyl-2[β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy]ethyl}- 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane (AO-80) is a polymorphous material with different physical structures. The initial AO- 80 is highly crystalline, whereas AO-80 obtained by cooling from its molten state is an amorphous material. Annealing treatment below the melting point of AO-80 results in structural development. The mixture of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and vitrified AO-80 particles exhibits a dramatic change in the dynamic mechanical properties during heat treatment at 130'C. This change can be attributed to the decomposition of the vitrified AO-80 particles and the hybridization of two constituents. The vitrified AO-80 particles can crystallize again in a CPE matrix by annealing at 100'C, but this crystal is different from that of the initial AO-80 in its microstructure. In addition, the incorporation of CPE chains caused a dramatic increase in the modulus. As a result, the AO-80 crystal particles that contain some CPE chains act as multifunctional cross- links and the CPE/AO-80 hybrid was found to be a new type of elastomer.展开更多

The beneficiation performance of the fluidized bed was investigated using 0.25-1.00 mm coarse coal slime and the two different distributors. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of axial particle velocity in the radial direction of the bed can be reduced by a distributor that has a central discharge. The beneficiation performance for this dis- tributor is improved relative to the distributor with the peripheral discharge. This indicates that it is necessary to eliminate or suppress the core-annulus structure within a hindered fluidized bed. Increasing superficial water velocity causes the clean coal ash content, the railings ash content, and the combustible recovery to increase. Additionally, increasing the bed height decreases all of these three indexes. The optimum superficial water velocity and bed height for a 0.25-1.00 mm coal feed were deter- mined to be 3 mm/s and 800 mm, respectively. This work provides a foundation for the scale-up of the bed.展开更多
