Low-calcium limestone was also selected as another raw material. The clinker component and microstructure were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The experimental results showed that qualified cement clinker could be generated by substituting CG and CT compound for clay. While mixed with high-calcium limestone and low-calcium limestone, the calcinations temperature were 50 ℃ or 100 ℃ lower than that of clay. CT and CG contain oxygen-rich minerals and potential of geological rock energy. The energy of CG performs functions and drops down sintering temperature. The calcination time was shortened and the clinker sintering coal consumption reduced while substituting CG and CT for clay, and also served the reutilization of low-calcium limestone, CG and CT.展开更多

The first filter collected most of the fly ash and associated chlorinated organic; then activated carbon （AC） was injected and used to collect phase chlorinated organic from the gas. Concentrations of PCDD/Fs and PCBs after the DBF system were 0.07 and 0.01 ng TEQ/Nm3 , respectively, which were both far below the national emission standard. Comparing with the original single bag filter system, the PCDD/Fs concentration dropped a lot from 0.36 to 0.07 ng TEQ/Nm3 . Increasing AC feeding rate enhanced their collection efficiency, yet reduced the AC utilization efficiency, and it still needs further study to select an appropriate feeding rate in the system. These results will be useful for industrial application and assist in controlling emissions of PCDD/Fs and other persistent organic pollutions from stationary sources in China.展开更多

In this work, dodecyltrimethylammoni- um bromide (DTAB) is recommended as an efficient collector for the reverse flotation separation of quartz from fluorapatite. Its collectivity for quartz and selectivity for fluorapatite were also compared with figures corresponding to the conventional collector dodecylamine hydrochlor- ide (DAC) via microflotation experiments. The adsorption behaviors of DTAB and DAC on minerals were systematically investigated with surface chemical analyses, such as contact angle determination, zeta potential detection, and adsorption density measurement. The results re- vealed that compared to DAC, DTAB displayed a similar and strong collectivity for quartz, and it showed a better selectivity (or worse col- lectivity) for fluorapatite, resulting in a high-efficiency separation of the two minerals. The surface chemical analysis results showed that the adsorption ability of DTAB on the quartz surface was as strong as that of DAC, whereas the adsorption amount of DTAB on the fluorapatite surface was much lower than that of DAC, which is associated with the flotation performance. During the floatation separation of the actual ore, 8wt% fluorapatite with a higher grade can be obtained using DTAB in contrast to DAC. Therefore, DTAB is a promising collector for the high-efficiency purification and sustainable utilization of valuable fluorapatite recourses.展开更多

文摘To efficiently remove radioactive nuclides from nuclear industry wastewater and minimize the generation of radioactive secondary waste,this study proposes the concept of a magnetically controlled microchannel adsorber based on magnetic adsorbents.A novel protocol for achieving high adsorption performance in microchannel adsorbers with periodically distributed particles is developed using the particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method,which addresses the limitations of traditional porous media flow models.To align simulation results more closely with practical scenarios,a typical high-efficiency magnetic adsorbent,magnetic sodium alginate/cobalt-based Prussian blue (M-SA/PB-Co),was synthesized.The M-SA/PB-Co microspheres exhibit a uniform size distribution (300–600 μm),and their Cs^(+) adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a Langmuir saturated adsorption capacity of 124.84 mg·g^(-1).The performance parameters of M-SA/PB-Co,obtained from characterization and adsorption experiments,were integrated into CFD simulations.CFD results indicate that as the flow velocity increases,the flow field gradually transitions with vortices expanding in scale and streamline bifurcation points shifting rearward.The Cs^(+) concentration decreases progressively along the flow direction,with a more pronounced reduction in the vortex regions downstream of particles.The characteristic velocity and characteristic concentration of specific regions surrounding the particles were extracted based on boundary layer distribution.The amount of concentration reduction of Cs^(+) through particle is positively correlated with the characteristic concentration and negatively correlated with the characteristic velocity.The number of microspheres required in the microchannel adsorber was optimized using the response surface method.Compared with industrial fixed-bed adsorbers,microchannel adsorbers exhibit 8–10 times higher processing capacity,demonstrating significant industrial application potential.

文摘Underground carbon sequestration(CS)by solid waste backfill(SWB)offers an effective pathway for collaborative disposal of coal-based solid waste and CO_(2),where the amount of carbon sequestration is an important evaluation parameter.In this study,the concept of whole-process carbon sequestration using coal-based solid waste and CO_(2),including sequential stirring and curing stages,was proposed to evaluate the performance evolution of CS.The results showed that CO_(2) pressure and ambient temperature positively correlated with the CS amount from coal-based SWB.In particular,CO_(2) pressure prevailed in the stirring stage,while the ambient temperature effect was more significant in the curing stage.The CS amounts obtained during the stirring stage alone,the curing stage alone,and two sequential stages ranged from 0.66%–3.10%,3.53%–5.09%,and 5.12%–6.02%,respectively.The functional group and micromorphology analyses revealed that the prevailing mechanism at the CS stirring stage was the stirringdriven gas dissolution-leaching-mineralization reaction,while that at the curing stage was the hydration-driven gas permeation-dissociation-CS reaction.Both were essentially solid-liquid-gas multiphase chemical reactions.The results are instrumental in substantiating the coal-based SWB carbon sequestration evolution patterns and mechanisms and providing data support for waste disposal and carbon emission reduction in the coal industry.

文摘Driven by the rapid advancement of wind,solar,and electric vehicle technologies,the global copper demand has increased significantly,prompting greater attention to complex and refractory copper-bearing minerals.As a representative example,valleriite is widely distributed in Cu-Ni sulfide ores and regarded as the second-most important copper-bearing phase after chalcopyrite.Structurally,valleriite features a layered crystal lattice composed of alternating hydrophobic sulfide and hydrophilic hydroxide layers,imparting it characteristics intermediate between sulfide and oxide ores.This unique structure,combined with its fine grain size,poor crystallinity,and complex intergrowths,greatly limits the efficiency of conventional beneficiation methods,such as flotation and magnetic separation.This review systematically summarizes the global distribution and physicochemical properties of valleriite and critically assesses beneficiation studies reported over the past seven decades.Furthermore,key factors contributing to poor recovery are identified,and potential strategies for improving the processing of valleriite-bearing ores are proposed.

文摘The rapid expansion of the photovoltaic industry has generated heavily oxidized waste silicon(wSi),which hinders efficient recycling owing to its small particle size and uncontrolled surface oxidation.This study introduces a molten salt electrochemical strategy for converting photovoltaic wSi into NiSi_(2)-silicon nanorods(NiSi_(2)-SiNRs)as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.A stable oxidized passivation layer is formed on the wSi surface via controlled oxidation,and further in situ generated highly active NiSi_(2) droplets.The molten salt electric field modulates the surface energy of silicon,while particle integration drives localized directional growth,enabling the self-assembly of NiSi_(2)-SiNRs composites.These NiSi_(2)-SiNRs anodes exhibit rapid ion transport and effective strain buffering.The high aspect ratio of SiNRs and the presence of retained NiSi_(2) facilitate both longitudinal and transverse Li^(+) diffusion.Owing to their robust structural design,the NiSi_(2)-SiNRs anode achieves an excellent initial Coulombic efficiency of 91.61%and retains 72.99%of its capacity after 800 cycles at 2 A·g^(−1).This study establishes a model system for investigating silicide/silicon interfaces in molten salt electrochemical synthesis and provides an effective strategy for upcycling photovoltaic wSi into high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes.

文摘The recovery of precious metals(PMs)from secondary resources is critical for addressing global supply-chain vulnerabilities and sustainable resource utilization.This review systematically examines the transformative potential of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)as next-generation adsorbents for PM recovery,focusing on their synthesis,functionalization,and multiscale adsorption mechanisms.We critically analyze conventional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods and highlight their limitations in terms of selectivity,energy consumption,and secondary pollution.In contrast,MOFs offer tunable porosity,abundant active sites,and tunable surface chemistry,enabling efficient PM capture via synergistic physical and chemical adsorption.Advanced modification techniques,including direct synthesis and post-synthetic modification,are reviewed to propose strategies for enhancing the adsorption kinetics and selectivity for Au,Ag,Pt,and Pd.Key structure-property relationships are established through multiscale characterization and thermodynamic models,revealing the critical roles of hierarchical porosity,soft donor atoms,and framework stability.Industrial challenges,such as aqueous stability and scalability,are addressed via Zr-O bond strengthening,hydrophobic functionalization,and support immobilization.This study consolidates the experimental and theoretical advances in MOF-based PM recovery and provides a roadmap for translating laboratory innovations into practical applications within the circular-economy framework.

文摘The modified molecular interaction volume model(M-MIVM)was used to calculate the activity values and their deviations from experimental data for Ag-Cu and Ag-Sb binary alloys.Subsequently,theoretical vapor-liquid equilibrium phase diagrams(T-x-y and p-x-y)were plotted via combining M-MIVM and vacuum theory.The vapor-liquid phase equilibrium(VLE)experiments were conducted on the Ag-Cu alloy at 1500-1560 K and 10-15 Pa and Ag-Sb alloys at 950-1350 K and 10 Pa.The results showed that the average relative deviation and average standard deviation of activity were lower than 5%and 0.02,respectively.A comparison of theoretical and experiment results for VLE revealed that the simulated data on the T-x-y diagram were well consistent with experimental values.Therefore,the VLE phase diagrams can serve as a guide in vacuum separation experiments and industrial production for Ag-Cu and Ag-Sb binary alloys.

文摘Peroxymonosulfate(PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)are an effective way to remove emerging contaminants(ECs)from water.The catalytic process involving PMS is hindered by the suboptimal electron trans-fer efficiency of current catalysts,the further application of AOPs technology is limited.Here,it is proposed that the interfacial electric field can be controlled by bor(B)-doped FeNC catalysts,which shows significant advantages in the efficient generation,release and participation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the reaction.The super exchange interaction between Fe sites and N and B sites is realized through the directional transfer of electrons in the interfacial electric field,which ensures the high efficiency and stability of the PMS catalytic process.B doping increases the d orbitals distribution at Fermi level,which facilitates enhanced electron transition activity,thereby promoting the effective generation of (1)^O_(2).At the same time,orbital hybridization causes the center of the d band to move to a lower energy level,which not only contributes to the desorption process of (1)^O_(2),but also accelerates its release.In addition,B-doping also improved the adsorption capacity of organic pollutants and shortened the migration distance of ROS,thereby significantly improving the degradation efficiency of ECs.The B-doping strategy outlined offers a novel approach to the development of FeNC catalysts,it lays a theoretical foundation and offers technical insights for the integration of PMS/AOPs technology in the ECs management.

文摘The use of Al-V alloys as intermediate additives is pivotal for producing high-performance Ti alloys.Traditionally,the synthesis of these alloys relies on high-purity V_(2)O_(5),with sodium metavanadate as an essential intermediate in V_(2)O_(5)production.This study explores an alternative approach utilizing sodium metavanadate directly,offering an aluminothermic process to alleviate the environmental impact and reduce the time required for V_(2)O_(5)preparation.Al-V alloys are synthesized using sodium metavanadate derived from a shale V-rich solution,and the impurity-migration behaviors are comprehensively analyzed,specifically focusing on Fe,Al,and Na.The result sreveal that Al interacts with CaO to form a slag phase that is different from the alloy,whereas Na undergoes a sequence of reductions (NaVO_(3)→Na_(2)V_(2)O_(5)→NaVO_(2)→Na)and volatilizes at 25-1200℃,thereby avoiding incorporation into the alloy.Fe,reduced by Al,enriches the alloy phase and induces a phase transition(Al-V→Al-Fe→Fe-V)in the presence of excess Fe.Sodium metavanadate(Fe≤0.05wt%)derived from the shale V-rich solution enables the production of a uniform AlV65 alloy with 66.56wt%V,33.14wt%Al,0.08wt%Fe,0.07wt%C,0.02wt%N,and 0.12wt%O.These results establish a streamlined,efficient framework for the future preparation of Al-V alloys from shale V-rich solutions.

文摘Ship operations are crucial to global trade,and their decarbonization is essential to mitigate climate change.This study evaluates the economic viability of existing and emerging decarbonization technologies in maritime shipping using the levelized cost of energy methodology.It includes a detailed comparative analysis based on essential criteria and sensitivity assessments to highlight the economic impacts of technological advancements.Key factors influencing total costs include fuel costs,carbon pricing,and energy demands for carbon capture.The findings reveal that methanol is more cost-effective than heavy fuel oil(HFO)when priced below 3000 CNY/t,assuming HFO costs 4400 CNY/t.Additionally,methanol with post-combustion carbon capture is less expensive than pre-combustion carbon capture.When carbon prices rise above 480 CNY/t,carbon capture technologies prove more economical than purchasing carbon emission allowances for HFO and liquefied natural gas.Enhanc-ing the use of exhaust gas waste heat is recommended for cost savings.Post-combustion carbon capture also shows greater efficiency,requiring about 1.1 GJ/t less energy than pre-combustion methods,leading to lower overall costs.Future research should focus on market mechanisms to stabilize fuel prices and develop less energy-intensive carbon capture technologies.This study offers critical insights into effective decarbonization strategies for advancing global maritime trade in the present and future.

文摘To maximize the profits of power grid operators(GOs),load aggregators(LAs)and electricity customers(ECs),this paper proposes a hierarchical demand response(HDR)framework that considers competing interaction based on multiagent deep deterministic policy gradient(MaDDPG).The ECs are divided into conventional ECs and the electric vehicles(EVs)which are managed by ECs agent(ECA)and EV agent(EVA)to exploit the flexibility of the HDR framework.Thus,the HDR is a tri-layer model determined by five types of agents engaging in competing interaction to maximize their own profits.To address the limitations of mathematical expression and participation scale in the Stackelberg game within the HDR model,a dynamic interaction mechanism is adopted.Moreover,to tackle the HDR involving various entities,the MaDDPG develops multiple agents to simulation the dynamic competing interactions between each subject as well as solve the problem of continuous action control.Furthermore,MaDDPG adopts soft target update and priority experience replay method to ensure stable and effective training,and makes the exploration strategy comprehensive by using exploration noise.Simulation studies are conducted to verify the performance of the MaDDPG with dynamic interaction mechanism in dealing with multilayer multi-agent continuous action control,compared to the double deep Q network(DDQN),deep Q network(DQN)and dueling DQN.Additionally,comparisons among the proposed HDR with the price based DR(PBDR)and incentive based DR(IBDR)are analyzed to investigate the flexibility of the HDR.

文摘Carbon dioxide(CO_(2))is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to anthropogenic climate change which is associated with human activities.The majority of CO_(2) emissions are results of the burning of fossil fuels for energy,as well as industrial processes such as steel and cement production.Carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)is a sustainable technology promising in terms of reducing CO_(2) emissions that would otherwise contribute to climate change.From this perspective,the discussion on carbon capture focuses on chemical absorption technology,primarily due to its commercialization potential.The CO_(2) absorptive capacity and absorption rate of various chemical solvents have been summarized.The carbon utilization focuses on electrochemical conversion routes converting CO_(2) into potentially valuable chemicals which have received particular attention in recent years.The Faradaic conversion efficiencies for various CO_(2) reduction products are used to describe efficiency improvements.For carbon storage,successful deployment relies on a better understanding of fluid mechanics,geomechanics,and reactive transport,which are discussed in details.

文摘In order to avoid environmental pollution from Coal gangue （CG） and copper tailings （CT）, the utilization as cement clinker calcinations was experimentally investigated. Low-calcium limestone was also selected as another raw material. The clinker component and microstructure were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The experimental results showed that qualified cement clinker could be generated by substituting CG and CT compound for clay. While mixed with high-calcium limestone and low-calcium limestone, the calcinations temperature were 50 ℃ or 100 ℃ lower than that of clay. CT and CG contain oxygen-rich minerals and potential of geological rock energy. The energy of CG performs functions and drops down sintering temperature. The calcination time was shortened and the clinker sintering coal consumption reduced while substituting CG and CT for clay, and also served the reutilization of low-calcium limestone, CG and CT.

文摘A 100 Nm3 /hr capacity pilot scale dual bag filter （DBF） system was tested on the flue gas from an actual hazardous waste incinerator （HWI）, the removal efficiency of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans （PCDD/Fs） and polychlorinated biphenyls （PCBs） was also studied. The first filter collected most of the fly ash and associated chlorinated organic; then activated carbon （AC） was injected and used to collect phase chlorinated organic from the gas. Concentrations of PCDD/Fs and PCBs after the DBF system were 0.07 and 0.01 ng TEQ/Nm3 , respectively, which were both far below the national emission standard. Comparing with the original single bag filter system, the PCDD/Fs concentration dropped a lot from 0.36 to 0.07 ng TEQ/Nm3 . Increasing AC feeding rate enhanced their collection efficiency, yet reduced the AC utilization efficiency, and it still needs further study to select an appropriate feeding rate in the system. These results will be useful for industrial application and assist in controlling emissions of PCDD/Fs and other persistent organic pollutions from stationary sources in China.

文摘Reverse flotation desilication is an indispensable step for obtaining high-grade fluorapatite. In this work, dodecyltrimethylammoni- um bromide (DTAB) is recommended as an efficient collector for the reverse flotation separation of quartz from fluorapatite. Its collectivity for quartz and selectivity for fluorapatite were also compared with figures corresponding to the conventional collector dodecylamine hydrochlor- ide (DAC) via microflotation experiments. The adsorption behaviors of DTAB and DAC on minerals were systematically investigated with surface chemical analyses, such as contact angle determination, zeta potential detection, and adsorption density measurement. The results re- vealed that compared to DAC, DTAB displayed a similar and strong collectivity for quartz, and it showed a better selectivity (or worse col- lectivity) for fluorapatite, resulting in a high-efficiency separation of the two minerals. The surface chemical analysis results showed that the adsorption ability of DTAB on the quartz surface was as strong as that of DAC, whereas the adsorption amount of DTAB on the fluorapatite surface was much lower than that of DAC, which is associated with the flotation performance. During the floatation separation of the actual ore, 8wt% fluorapatite with a higher grade can be obtained using DTAB in contrast to DAC. Therefore, DTAB is a promising collector for the high-efficiency purification and sustainable utilization of valuable fluorapatite recourses.
