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

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

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

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

Inclusions and solidification structures are the most important aspects of the quality of ingots. Niobium and titanium are usually used to react with carbon and nitrogen to improve the properties of ferritic stainless steels. In this research, combined with thermodynamic calculation, effects of niobium and titanium on the inclusions and solidification structures in three kinds of high pure ferritic stainless steels with different titanium additions were investigated by optical microscope（OM）, scanning electron microscope（SEM）, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, and energy disperse spectrometer（EDS）. Results show that Al2O3 and a few（Nb,Ti）N particles form when titanium addition is 0.01 %.Furthermore, inclusions are mainly Ti N and Al2O3–Ti Ox–Ti N duplex inclusions when titanium addition is more than0.10 %. Those two types of inclusions are in well distribution, and can afford nuclei to the solidification process.Therefore, the ratio of equiaxed zone increases with the increase of titanium addition. The ratio increases from42.1 % to 64.0 % with the titanium addition increasing from 0.01 % to 0.10 %, and it increases to 85.7 % when the titanium addition reaches 0.34 %.展开更多

The investigation was accompanied with the calculation of Rayleigh numbers.It is found that Ti is the main segregating element and the content of Ti is the highest in the final liquid at the cooling rates of 3-6℃/min.The eta phase（η） precipitate presented in the residual liquid at the cooling rates higher than 6℃/min is responsible for the fluctuations in the curves of Ti content.The dendrite arm spacing is found to markedly decrease with the increase of cooling rate.The maximum relative Rayleigh number occurs at 10-20℃below the liquidus temperature at a cooling rate of 1℃/min,where the mushy zone is most unstable and fluid flow is most prone to occur.展开更多

The large anisotropic intensity may compete to determine the stability of the planar interface. The destabilizing effect or the stabilizing effect depends on the misorientation. Moreover, the interface morphology of initial instability is also affected by the surface tension anisotropy.展开更多

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.

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.

文摘Up to 1.5wt%of Cr(Ⅲ)salts(CrCl_(3),and Cr_(2)O_(3))and Cr(Ⅵ)salts(Na_(2)CrO_(4),and CaCr_(2)O_(7))were incorporated into red mud-based geopolymers,respectively.The solidification/stabilization,compressive strength,and durability of the Cr-containing geopolymers were investigated.The experimental results indicate that the red mud-based geopolymer could effectively solidify/stabilize different types of Cr salts with solidification/stabilization rates of above 99.61%.Geopolymers are environmentally safe when the dosage of CaCr_(2)O_(7)is≤1.0wt%,or the dosage of CrCl_(3),Cr_(2)O_(3),and Na_(2)CrO_(4)is≤1.5wt%,respectively.The effects of Cr salts on the compressive strength varies with the type and content of Cr salts.The freeze-thaw cycle is more destructive to geopolymer properties than sulfate attack or acid rain erosion.The solidification/stabilization of Cr is mainly attributed to the following reasons:a)The chemical binding of Cr is related to the formation of Cr-containing hydrates(eg,magnesiochromite((Mg,Fe)(Cr,Al)_(2)O_(4)))and doping into N-A-S-H gel and C-A-S-H gel framework;b)The physical effect is related to the encapsulation by the hydration products(e g,N-A-S-H gel and C-A-S-H gel).This study provides a reference for the treatment of hazardous Cr-containing wastes by solid waste-based geopolymers.

文摘Peritectic reaction was studied by directional solidification of Cu-Ge alloys.A larger triple junction region of peritectic reaction was used to analyze the interface stability of the triple junction region during peritectic reaction.Under different growth conditions and compositions,different growth morphologies of triple junction region are presented.For the hypoperitectic Cu-13.5%Ge alloy,as the pulling velocity（v） increases from 2 to 5 μm/s,the morphological instability of the peritectic phase occurs during the peritectic reaction and the remelting interface of the primary phase is relatively stable.However,for the hyperperitectic Cu-15.6%Ge alloy wim v=5 μm/s,the nonplanar remelting interface near the trijunction is presented.The morphological stabilities of the solidifying peritectic phase and the remelting primary phase are analyzed in terms of the constitutional undercooling criterion.

文摘As the raw materials in the post process of rolling and heat treatment, ingots have great effects on the properties of the final products. Inclusions and solidification structures are the most important aspects of the quality of ingots. Niobium and titanium are usually used to react with carbon and nitrogen to improve the properties of ferritic stainless steels. In this research, combined with thermodynamic calculation, effects of niobium and titanium on the inclusions and solidification structures in three kinds of high pure ferritic stainless steels with different titanium additions were investigated by optical microscope（OM）, scanning electron microscope（SEM）, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, and energy disperse spectrometer（EDS）. Results show that Al2O3 and a few（Nb,Ti）N particles form when titanium addition is 0.01 %.Furthermore, inclusions are mainly Ti N and Al2O3–Ti Ox–Ti N duplex inclusions when titanium addition is more than0.10 %. Those two types of inclusions are in well distribution, and can afford nuclei to the solidification process.Therefore, the ratio of equiaxed zone increases with the increase of titanium addition. The ratio increases from42.1 % to 64.0 % with the titanium addition increasing from 0.01 % to 0.10 %, and it increases to 85.7 % when the titanium addition reaches 0.34 %.

文摘Scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray analysis（EDAX） were used to study the microstructure,microsegregation, and fluid flow tendency of the superalloy Waspaloy in the mushy zone,which had been solidified at different cooling rates. The investigation was accompanied with the calculation of Rayleigh numbers.It is found that Ti is the main segregating element and the content of Ti is the highest in the final liquid at the cooling rates of 3-6℃/min.The eta phase（η） precipitate presented in the residual liquid at the cooling rates higher than 6℃/min is responsible for the fluctuations in the curves of Ti content.The dendrite arm spacing is found to markedly decrease with the increase of cooling rate.The maximum relative Rayleigh number occurs at 10-20℃below the liquidus temperature at a cooling rate of 1℃/min,where the mushy zone is most unstable and fluid flow is most prone to occur.

文摘Phase field investigation reveals that the stability of the planar interface is related to the anisotropic intensity of surface tension and the misorientation of preferred crystallographic orientation with respect to the heat flow direction. The large anisotropic intensity may compete to determine the stability of the planar interface. The destabilizing effect or the stabilizing effect depends on the misorientation. Moreover, the interface morphology of initial instability is also affected by the surface tension anisotropy.

文摘Macro-and micro-segregation formed upon twin-roll casting(TRC)can be inherited from sub-rapid solid-ification to solid-state transformation,even to plastic deformation,thus deteriorating drastically mechan-ical properties of as-produced thin sheets.Although many works focusing mainly on controlling fields of thermal,concentration and convection have been reported,how to control artificially and quantitatively the segregation using a theoretical connection between processing parameters and solidification models,has not been realized,yet.Regarding it,a systematical framework integrating non-equilibrium dendritic growth and overall solidification kinetics with the TRC parameters,was constructed applying a general-ized stability(GS)conception deduced from transient thermodynamic driving force△G^(t)and transient ki-netic energy barrier Q_(eff)^(t)evolving upon solidification.Departing from this framework considering synergy of thermodynamics and kinetics(i.e.,thermo-kinetic synergy),a criterion of high△G^(t)-high GS guaranteed that the macro(i.e.,the centerline)and the micro(i.e.,the edge)segregation can be suppressed by in-creasing△G^(t)and GS at the beginning and the ending stage of sub-rapid solidification,respectively.This typical thermo-kinetic combination producing the microstructure can be inherited into the plastic de-formation,as reflected by corresponding strength-ductility combinations.This work realized quantitative controlling of TRC by a theoretical connection between processing parameters and solidification models,where,an optimization for sub-rapid solidification segregation using the GS conception including△G^(t)and Q_(eff)^(t)has been performed.
