La1.5- Mg0.5Ni7 with （La,Mg）2Ni7 as main phase presents better discharge capacity and cycling stability. The three alloys suffer severe pulverization and corrosion after electrochemical cycles, which are considered to be the significant factor attributing to the capacity deterioration. However, the overall corrosion extent of the three cycled alloys aggravates successively, which is inconsistent with the result that LaEMgNi9 presented poor cycling stability and also the assumption that alloy with high Mg content is easy to be corroded. The intrinsic anti-corrosion and anti-pulverization characteristics of the three alloys are mainly focused in this work. Immersion corrosion experiments demonstrate that the Mg-rich phases are more easily to be corroded. The corrosion resistance of the three alloys presents an improved trend which is inversely proportional to abundance of the Mg-rich phases. However, the anti-pulverization abilities present an inverse trend, which is closely related to the mechanical property of various phase structures. LaNi5 with the highest hardness is easy to crack, but the soft （La,Mg）Ni2 is more resistant to crack formation and spreading. Thus, the weaker corrosion of La2MgNi9 after electro- chemical cycling is attributed to the better intrinsic anti-pulverization capability though the anti-corrosion is poor. As La4MgNi19 possesses excellent corrosion resistance, enhancement of the anti-pulverization ability is urgent for improvement in the cycling stability.展开更多

It was found that single phase alloys of Nb ss and Nb 3Al are not pulverized regardless of a considerable amount of hydrogen absorption, while two phase alloys of Nb ss +Nb 3Al and Nb 3Al+Nb 2Al are readily pulverized. X ray diffraction analysis indicated that no hydride with crystal structure different from constituent phases is formed by hydrogen absorption, but lattice parameters of Nb ss and Nb 3Al are increased. Pulverization of Nb Cr alloys was investigated under a hydrogen atmosphere of 0.1 MPa in an arc melting chamber without exposure to air after arc melting. Similarly, hydrogen pulverization occurs only in two phase alloys consisting of Nb ss and NbCr 2. Based on the measured lattice parameters of Nb ss and Nb 3Al(NbCr 2) in the hydrogenated two phase alloys and the microstructural observations, a mechanism for hydrogen pulverization is discussed.展开更多

The main purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the microstructure of tin bronze machining chips on their breakage behavior. An experimental target jet mill was used to pulverize machining chips of three different tin bronze alloys containing 7wt%, 10wt%, and 12wt% of tin. Optical and electron microscopy, as well as sieve analysis, were used to follow the trend of pulverization. Each alloy exhibited a distinct rate of size reduction, particle size distribution, and fracture surface appearance. The results showed that the degree of pulverization substantially increased with increasing tin content. This behavior was attributed to the higher number of machining cracks as well as the increased volume fraction of brittle δ phase in the alloys with higher tin contents. The δ phase was observed to strongly influence the creation of machining cracks as well as the nucleation and propagation of cracks during jet milling. In addition, a direct relationship was observed between the mean δ-phase spacing and the mean size of the jet-milled product; i.e., a decrease in the δ-phase spacing resulted in smaller particles.展开更多

[Methods] The impacts on extraction of G. lucidum polysaccharide by soaking,microwave and air flow fine pulverization were contrasted,and the extraction effect of G. lucidum polysaccharide by combining the optimal pretreatment manner with hot water extraction,alcohol extraction,alkali extraction,ultrasonic binding enzyme extraction,and microwave extraction was compared. Finally,the property of G. lucidum polysaccharide obtained after air flow fine pulverization pretreatment was detected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. [Results] The optimal pretreatment method was air flow fine pulverization. Compared with traditional method-direct extraction( coarse grinding combining hot water extraction),crude yield changed little,while polysaccharide content and yield were improved by 114% and 104%. The best combination manner was air flow fine pulverization pretreatment combining with alkali extraction. Compared with traditional method,crude yield,polysaccharide content and yield were improved by 76%,78% and 215% respectively. The property of G. lucidum polysaccharide obtained after air flow fine pulverization pretreatment was detected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. It was found that the treatment method had little impact on the property of G. lucidum polysaccharide. [Conclusions]Air flow fine pulverization pretreatment could greatly improve extraction effect of G. lucidum polysaccharide,which mainly improved the content and yield of G. lucidum polysaccharide,and extraction was more complete,with less impact on the property of the extracted polysaccharide. It was speculated that air flow fine pulverization pretreatment mainly destroyed mechanical support wall membrane structure of G. lucidum fine powder,making that intracellular functional substances completely dissolved out of the cell,and the content would be studied in follow-up experiment.展开更多

XRD analysis indicates that the alloy consists of a C14-type Laves phase and a V-based solid solution. The lattice parameters of both phases are increased after discharged with cycling, which indicates that more irreversible hydrogen remains not discharged in the alloy. It shold be responsible for the decrease of discharge capacity. SEM micrographs show that after 10 electrochemical cycles, a large number of cracks can be observed in the alloy, existing mainly in the V-based solid solution phase. Moreover, after 30 cycles, the alloy particles are obviously pulverized due to the larger expansion and shrinkage of cell volumes during hydrogen absorption and desorption, which induces the fast degradation of the TiV-based hydrogen storage alloys. EIS and AES measurements indicate that some passive oxide film has been formed on the surface of alloy electrode, which has higher charge-transfer resistance, lower hydrogen diffusivity, and less electro-catalytic activity. Therefore it can be concluded that the pulverization and oxidation of the alloy are the main factors responsible for the fast degradation of the TiV-hased hydrogen storage alloys.展开更多

During the cycles, the alloy particles of the negative electrode were pulverized gradually. After 200 cycles, the pulverizing process basically ended and the larger particles were pulverized to below 10 μm. The particles were oxided at the rate of about 0.1 μm/100 times cycles. The oxide layer was porous and consisted of the La(OH) 3 and oxides of Pr, Co and Ni. Most of Pr, Mn and almost all of Al in the oxide layer were dissolved into the electrolyte. The oxidation of the alloy particles was one of the main factors of the decay of the discharge capacity of the negative electrode during the cycles.展开更多

In this paper, this idea is proved based on granulometry and a new idea of cycling compression effect is presented, which is caused by the friction between wall and metal hydrides. Through theoretical analysis, the cycling compression effects is shown to increase the localized packing rate from top to down in vertical-placed reactors and thus lead to the maximum deformation in the bottom of reactors, proving that it is the interaction of pulverization-densification effect and cycling compression effect resulting in the stress problems of vertical-placed reactors. Further study points that the effective methods relieving the cycling compress effect are to decrease hydrogen absorption/desorption cycle number, slenderness ratio of reactor, wall friction factor and initial packing rate, or to lower the thermal conductivity and the volume expansion coefficient of metal hydrides.展开更多

文摘materials,despite its intensive application in Li/Na-ion batteries.The existing mechanisms of AVE's effects mainly focus on charge transfer but fail to clarify other critical issues.Here,we propose a new insight into AVE's effect on K-ion storage by introducing Te vacancies into a representative conversion-type NiTe.In addition to existing mechanisms,we demonstrate Te vacancies play three other unprecedented roles.(1)Te vacancies minimize the intrinsic volume strain from 15%to 6%,significantly suppressing anode pulverization and element dissolution.(2)Te vacancies induce the in-situ formation of a thin yet robust KF-based inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase,further accommodating volume strain and element dissolution.(3)Te vacancies reduce Ni-Te bond lengths and promote K-ion diffusion by modulating local atomic structure.Therefore,NiTe_(1-x)delivers an outstanding cycling performance(229.5 mAh g1 at 3.0 A g^(-1)for 1350 cycles)and rate capability(171.7 mAh g^(-1)at 5.0 A g^(-1)1).Furthermore,NiTe_(1-x)-based full cells showcase a remarkable energy density of 200.4 Wh kg^(-1).This work comprehensively elucidates the AVE's effects on alkali-ion storage,promoting the development of advanced conversion-type anode materials for practical applications.

文摘Gas rapid unloading(GRU)is an innovative technology for ore comminution.Increasing the production of fine powder in each ore grinding cycle is vital for scaling up the GRU method to industrial applications.This study utilizes laboratory experiments to demon-strate that moderately reducing the orifice size significantly enhances pulverization and increases fine particle yield.Numerical simulations suggest that smaller orifices improve pulverization by increasing jet speed,reducing pressure drop,and creating a larger pressure difference inside and outside the unloading orifice.The orifice size should be optimized based on feed size to ensure efficient ore discharge.Reducing the unloading orifice size improves GRU grinding efficiency and energy use,offering guidance for the design of ore discharge ports in future industrial-scale equipment.

文摘In view of the volume instability of steel slag aggregate leading to the quality problem of expansion damage in asphalt road construction,the 4.75-9.5 mm steel slag particles were treated by autoclaved carbonation technology,and the effects of the carbonation system(temperature and time)on the autoclaved pulverization rate,f-CaO content,and the relationship between them for the carbonated steel slag were investigated.In addition,the microstructure of the carbonated steel slag was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer(XRD),scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer(SEM-EDS),metallographic microscope and X-ray fluorescence imaging spectrometer(XRF).The experimental results indicate that,under the initial CO_(2)pressure of 1.0 MPa,increasing the carbonation temperature leads to the increase in the crystal plane spacing of Ca(OH)_(2)that was generated by the hydration of minerals in steel slag,and promotes the transformation of carbonated CaCO_(3)from the orthorhombic system to the hexagonal system,resulting in the increase of the crystal planes spacing of them,meantime,accelerates the decomposition of RO phases and also the outward migration of Ca^(2+),Fe^(2+),and Mn^(2+)ions to cover and coat on the Si^(4+),Al^(3+)ions,and impels the formation of hydroxides such as Fe(OH)_(3)and the formation of carbonates such as Ca(Mg)CO_(3),FeCO_(3)and MnCO_(3).Carbonation at the temperature of 90℃for 3 h can reach the center of 4.75-9.5 mm steel slag particles.Meanwhile,the increase of temperature can promote the mineral reaction in steel slag,resulting in the fuzzy interface between mineral phases,increase of burrs,dispersion,crossover,reduction of grain size,and rearrangement of mineral particles.

文摘Eggshells,a by-product of the food industry,represent a significant yet often overlooked waste stream.Given their vast production volume and inherent properties,eggshells have the potential to serve as a sustainable and environmentally friendly co-fuel.Aiming to explore the co-combustion characteristics and kinetics of pulverized coal blended with eggshells and offer insights into their combined use as a renewable energy source,a systematic investigation was conducted to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of Shangwan bituminous coal,Shouyang anthracite coal,eggshell(ES)and their blends.Additionally,comprehensive experimental analyses were performed at different heating rates applying a non-isothermal thermogravimetric method.The findings revealed that the addition of ES enhanced the combustion efficiency.The combustion characteristics were significantly influenced by the ES content,with an optimal blend ratio identified for maximum combustion efficiency.To represent the thermal degradation experiments,random pore model and volume model were employed.Furthermore,activation energies and pre-exponential factors were determined.The random pore model demonstrated more superior performance compared to the volume model.The activation energies of all the samples ranged between 18.29 and 42.48 kJ/mol,with the lowest value observed for the sample containing 20 mass%ES.

文摘Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection(PCI)in the blast furnace,and it can reduce CO_(2)emissions.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation,and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated.The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m^(3)/h,the CO_(2)emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t,which represents a16.6%reduction,and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1%to 63.7%.The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen,which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway.Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere,which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace.The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection.The increase in the oxygen content by 3%while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2%and 43 K,respectively.The mole fraction of CO and H_(2) production increased by 0.04 and 0.02,respectively.Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.

文摘To study the combustion behavior of municipal solid waste(MSW)in blast furnace,the combustion process within the raceway was simulated using computational fluid dynamics.Based on the parameters of an actual blast furnace,a three-dimensional model including coal lance,blowpipe,tuyere,and raceway was established.The model was then used to compare the combustion characteristics of pulverized coal and MSW in the raceway and to investigate the effects of blast temperature and particle size on the combustion characteristics of MSW in the raceway.The results showed that MSW combusted more rapidly,achieving a maximum temperature of 3839 K in the raceway,comparing to 2974 K during pulverized coal injection.However,the average temperature during MSW injection was 1790 K,which was 73 K lower than that of pulverized coal injection.The maximum velocity during MSW injection was 120 m/s,lower than 188 m/s obtained during pulverized coal injection.MSW could be completely burned out in the middle of the raceway,while the burnout of pulverized coal at this position was only 50%.The combustion effect of MSW makes no difference when the blast temperature increased from 1273 to 1673 K,due to its excellent combustion characteristic.When the MSW particle size was increased from 0.074 to 2 mm,the burnout was 75%,which was still higher than that of pulverized coal injection with a particle size of 0.074 mm.However,injecting larger-sized fuel might increase the risk of tuyere wear.To ensure stable furnace conditions and great combustion,a blast temperature of 1473 K and a MSW particle size of about 1 mm will be better.

文摘The mineral transition mechanism and physicochemical property of calcium aluminate clinker sintered at 1350 ℃ were systematically studied using analytical reagent α-Al 2O 3,CaCO 3 and SiO 2 when the molar ratio of CaO to Al 2O 3 is 1.0.The results show that the formation of Ca 2SiO 4 accelerates the diffusion of CaO and Al 2O 3,which promotes the formation of CaAl 2O 4 determined by dilatometer,X-ray diffraction,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods.CaAl 4O 7,Ca 3Al 2O 6,Ca 3SiO 5 and Ca 2Al 2SiO 7 only exist in the initial stage of reactions,the amounts of which decrease with the increase of sintering duration.Ca 3Al 2O 6 and Ca 12Al 14O 33 react with Al 2O 3 and CaAl 4O 7 to form CaAl 2O 4,while Ca 2Al 2SiO 7 reacts with CaO and Ca 12Al 14O 33 to form Ca 2SiO 4 and CaAl 2O 4.The sintered clinker contains CaAl 2O 4 and γ-Ca 2SiO 4 as well as some Ca 12Al 14O 33 when the sintering duration is longer than 1.0 h.The differential scanning calorimetry results reveal that Ca 2SiO 4,Ca 2Al 2SiO 7 and CaAl 2O 4 are formed at985 ℃,1045℃ and 1339 ℃,respectively.Increasing the sintering duration contributes to the transition of β-Ca 2SiO 4 to γ-Ca 2SiO 4,which improves the pulverization and alumina leaching property of the sintered clinker.

文摘The side reaction between the active material and liquid-electrolyte cause structural damage and particle pulverization is one of the important factors leading to the capacity decay of LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05O2(NCA)materials in Li ion batteries(LIBs).Surface modification is an effective strategy for NCA cathodes,which could alleviate the degradation associated with surface processes.Herein,a surface structure rearrangement of NCA cathode secondary particles was reported by in-situ forming a solid electrolyte LiBO2.The LiBO2 is beneficial for alleviating the stress during charge/discharge process,thereby slowing down the rate of cracks formation in the secondary particles,which facilitates the Li+de-intercalation as well as prevents penetration of the liquid-electrolyte into the interior of the particles.As a result,the surface structure rearrangement NCA(RS-NCA)delivers a high discharge capacity of 202.5 m Ah g^-1 at 0.1 C,and exhibits excellent cycle stability with discharge capacity retaining 148 m Ah g^-1 after 200 cycles at 2 C.This surface structure rearrangement approach provides a new viewpoint in designing high-performance high-voltage LIBs.

文摘[Objectives] The research aimed to study the impact on extraction effect of polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum( lingzhi) by different pretreatment methods. [Methods] The impacts on extraction of G. lucidum polysaccharide by soaking,microwave and air flow fine pulverization were contrasted,and the extraction effect of G. lucidum polysaccharide by combining the optimal pretreatment manner with hot water extraction,alcohol extraction,alkali extraction,ultrasonic binding enzyme extraction,and microwave extraction was compared. Finally,the property of G. lucidum polysaccharide obtained after air flow fine pulverization pretreatment was detected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. [Results] The optimal pretreatment method was air flow fine pulverization. Compared with traditional method-direct extraction( coarse grinding combining hot water extraction),crude yield changed little,while polysaccharide content and yield were improved by 114% and 104%. The best combination manner was air flow fine pulverization pretreatment combining with alkali extraction. Compared with traditional method,crude yield,polysaccharide content and yield were improved by 76%,78% and 215% respectively. The property of G. lucidum polysaccharide obtained after air flow fine pulverization pretreatment was detected and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. It was found that the treatment method had little impact on the property of G. lucidum polysaccharide. [Conclusions]Air flow fine pulverization pretreatment could greatly improve extraction effect of G. lucidum polysaccharide,which mainly improved the content and yield of G. lucidum polysaccharide,and extraction was more complete,with less impact on the property of the extracted polysaccharide. It was speculated that air flow fine pulverization pretreatment mainly destroyed mechanical support wall membrane structure of G. lucidum fine powder,making that intracellular functional substances completely dissolved out of the cell,and the content would be studied in follow-up experiment.

文摘In this paper the use of lime stabilized subgrade for low volume roads in two regions with high mountains and different frost penetration conditions in Türkiye was investigated in terms of design,performance,and cost.Pavements on unstabilized and stabilized subgrade were designed for two regions(Izmir and Van),covering all climate variations.The resilient modulus of the lime stabilized subgrade with different soil pulverization levels for non-freezing and freezing conditions were taken from a previous laboratory study.Frost effects were considered in pavement design using two different approaches,including limited subgrade frost penetration method and reduced subgrade strength method.Detailed application and evaluation were performed for all steps.Lime stabilized subgrades significantly reduced the thickness of base courses,and the benefit of lime stabilization was highly dependent on soil pulverization level.A detailed cost analysis on the unstabilized and stabilized cases found that the use of lime stabilization in the subgrade provided significant initial cost savings.Comparative analysis by using the AASHTO(1993)method and KENPAVE software,and quantity effect of soil pulverization level on the performance of low volume roads from a service life perspective,show that subgrade resilient modulus can be estimated.It is also possible to make correct performance estimation in the field.The results of the study show that lime stabilization is a good solution for low volume roads in the mountainous regions of Türkiye.

文摘The degradation behaviors of the TiV-based multiphase hydrogen storage alloy Ti0.8Zr0.2V3.2Mn0.64 Cr0.96Ni1.2 during electrochemical cycling in alkaline electrolyte have been studied by XRD, SEM, EIS and AES measurements. XRD analysis indicates that the alloy consists of a C14-type Laves phase and a V-based solid solution. The lattice parameters of both phases are increased after discharged with cycling, which indicates that more irreversible hydrogen remains not discharged in the alloy. It shold be responsible for the decrease of discharge capacity. SEM micrographs show that after 10 electrochemical cycles, a large number of cracks can be observed in the alloy, existing mainly in the V-based solid solution phase. Moreover, after 30 cycles, the alloy particles are obviously pulverized due to the larger expansion and shrinkage of cell volumes during hydrogen absorption and desorption, which induces the fast degradation of the TiV-based hydrogen storage alloys. EIS and AES measurements indicate that some passive oxide film has been formed on the surface of alloy electrode, which has higher charge-transfer resistance, lower hydrogen diffusivity, and less electro-catalytic activity. Therefore it can be concluded that the pulverization and oxidation of the alloy are the main factors responsible for the fast degradation of the TiV-hased hydrogen storage alloys.
文摘The degradation of La 0.8 Pr 0.2 Ni 3.55 Co 0.75 Mn 0.4 Al 0.3 alloy electrode during charge discharge cycles was studied with analytical electron microscope (AEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). During the cycles, the alloy particles of the negative electrode were pulverized gradually. After 200 cycles, the pulverizing process basically ended and the larger particles were pulverized to below 10 μm. The particles were oxided at the rate of about 0.1 μm/100 times cycles. The oxide layer was porous and consisted of the La(OH) 3 and oxides of Pr, Co and Ni. Most of Pr, Mn and almost all of Al in the oxide layer were dissolved into the electrolyte. The oxidation of the alloy particles was one of the main factors of the decay of the discharge capacity of the negative electrode during the cycles.
文摘Studies were made of the effect of mechanical pulverization on relaxation,crystallization and brittle-ductile transition of the anneal-embrittled Fe_(75)Si_(10)B_(15) metallic glass rib- bon.Results show that the Curie temperature,T_C,decreases and the total enthalpy of relaxation increases gradually with variation of pulverized time.DSC traces reveal an extra exothermic peak,T_X_1,and a distinct glass transition endothermic peak,T_g_1,with increasing pulverized time,T_C,T_X_1,and T_g_1 decrease simultaneously,and the exother- mic peak area corresponding to T_X_1 increases gradually.The surface slip-steps of flaky particles and their corresponding shear are produced by pulverizing the pre-embrittled amorphous glass.The lost ductility of the glass may restore during annealing.
文摘It’s known that the pulverization-densification mechanism of metal hydride may cause the stress accumulation in metal hydrides reactors. In this paper, this idea is proved based on granulometry and a new idea of cycling compression effect is presented, which is caused by the friction between wall and metal hydrides. Through theoretical analysis, the cycling compression effects is shown to increase the localized packing rate from top to down in vertical-placed reactors and thus lead to the maximum deformation in the bottom of reactors, proving that it is the interaction of pulverization-densification effect and cycling compression effect resulting in the stress problems of vertical-placed reactors. Further study points that the effective methods relieving the cycling compress effect are to decrease hydrogen absorption/desorption cycle number, slenderness ratio of reactor, wall friction factor and initial packing rate, or to lower the thermal conductivity and the volume expansion coefficient of metal hydrides.
