Temperature for the carbothermic reduction of ilmenite ranges from 900 ℃ to 1 400 ℃, and the reduction degree of Panzhihua ilmenite increases with increasing temperature. X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM analysis were used to identify the phase before and after reduction, and to identify the morphology of reduced samples respectively. It is found that the reaction initiates at about 860 ℃. The reaction rate varies with temperature simultaneously. Impurities in Panzhihua ilmenite decrease the reduction degree. Magnesium and calcium oxide-rich zone is formed preventing complete reduction of Fe 2+. In general, the reaction products are iron, Ti_3O_5 and carbon.展开更多

A pseudo-fluid approach based on this modified KTGF is used to simulate the dynamic formation and dissipation of clusters in a circulating fluidized bed riser. The agglomeration of particles reduces slip velocity within particle clusters, and hence results in two reverse trends: discrete particles are lifted by air while particle clusters fall down along the wall. The dynamic equilibrium of these two types of motion leads to the characteristic sigmoid profile of solid concentration along the longitudinal direction. The predicted solid velocity, lateral and longitudinal profiles of solid volume fraction and annulus thickness are in reasonable agreement with experimental results.展开更多

By analyzing the temperature-dependence of the resultant dc conductivities, it was shown that the activation energies for conduction are lower than those reported previously for the same materials at high temperatures. Comparing the activation energy data with the theoretically estimated values revealed that there may exist a certain, although very small, amount of free oxygen vacancies in the test samples at low temperatures and the conduction in the test samples is a result of the migration of these free oxygen vacancies.展开更多

Phase equilibrium of multi-component system hasbeen calculated from the limited known data with thermodynamic models. The phase equilibriums ofKOH-K_2CrO_4-H_2O, KOH-KA1O_2-H_2O, NaOH-Na_2CrO_4-H_2O and NaOH-NaAlO_2-H_2O systems werecalculated with thermodynamic models. The solubilities of Cr and Al was measured in the systems atdifferent temperatures. The results were compared with experimental data and they are consistentwith each other. It shows that the lower concentration of KOH (or NaOH) is favorable for thecrystallization of KA1O2 (or NaA102) and higher concentration of KOH (or NaOH) is favorable for thecrystallization of K_2Cr0_4 (Na_2Cr0_4). Therefore, K_2CrO_4 (or Na_2CrO_4) can be separated fromKA1O_2 (or NaAlO_2) with controlling the KOH concentration in solutions of KOH-K_2CrO_4-KalO_2-H_2Oor NaOH-Na_2CrO_4-NaAlO_2-H_2O systems.展开更多

It is concluded that the kineticsof carbothermic reduction of manganese oxide is divided into three stages: gas diffusioncontrolling stage, carbon gasification con-trolling stage and solid state diffusion controllingstage. La_2O_3 has catalytic effect on the reduction. The catalytic effect of La_2O_3 increases withthe added amount of La_2O_3. SEM analysis shows that the catalytic mechanism is that La_2O_3promotes the transfer of oxygen ions so that carbon gasifying is catalyzed and thus carbothermicreduction of MnO_2 is catalyzed.展开更多

A mathematical model for the shrinkage and the trajectory of the flat jet with aninclination angle was derived theoretically and verified by experimental data of the water model.The experimental results indicate that the inclination angle (alpha) has no influence on theshrinkage of the flat jet, the shrinkage of the flat jet along the width direction decreases withthe increasing of the initial velocity at the exit (u_0) and the initial thickness of the flat jet(t_0). Enough bigger initial exit velocity (u_0) and initial thickness can suppress the shrinkage ofthe flat jet along the width direction and keep the flat jet stabilized. In addition, thetrajectory of the flat jet with an inclination angle is parabolic and must be taking intoconsideration when to determine the striking distance.展开更多

The TiO2 particles deposited on the carbon fibers formed a coating of about 100 nm in thickness. The photocatalyst prepared was characterized by means of SEM, EDS, XRD and UV-vis adsorption spec-troscopy. Anatase-type TiO2 was uniquely developed, and the micrographic structure of ACFs was not damaged during preparation. The roomy space between adjacent carbon fibers could allow UV-light to penetrate into the felt-form photocatalyst to a certain depth, so that a three dimensional environment was formed for the photocatalytic reaction. Such TiO2/ACFs photocatalyst exhibited its photocatalytic reactivity in photodegradation of concentrated methylene blue (MB) solutions. The MB molecules in the bulk solutions was supposed to be condensed around TiO2 particles by ad-sorption by ACFs. Therefore, the photocatalyst possesses the combined effect of adsorption by activated carbon fibers and photocatalytic reactivity of anatase-type TiO2 on MB photodegradation.展开更多

However, measuring its values in instantaneous collisions between particles is very difficult, especially for ore particles of irregular shapes. In this paper, restitution is measured indirectly and statistically with two cameras recording from different angles the trajectories of the ore particles rebounding from a steel plate. The momenta of the particles prior to and after the collision are calculated from the trajectories to give the restitutions of these collisions. The restitution between ore particles is then derived from the restitution of a steel ball with the steel plate measured in the same way. The approach has been proved to be practical and reliable for a variety of ore particles with moderate restitutions.展开更多

By assuming chemical thermodynamic equilibrium in the system, a computer program based on chemical thermodynamics was used to cal-culate the compositions of the system at different initial concentrations and final temperatures. At first, five elements and thirty-four species were considered. The effects of temperatures, and concentrations of ammonia, hydrogen and nitrogen on the equilibrium compositions were analyzed. It was found that the optimal reaction temperature range should be 1200 to 1500 K to obtain the highest conversion and yield of Si3N4. The inlet position of ammonia should be lower than that of silicon tetrachloride, and both should be located at the tail of the plasma torch. The best mole ratio of ammonia to silicon tetrachloride was found to be about 6. Later, the influences of water (and oxygen) were considered, and 17 additional species were included in the computations. It was found that oxygen or water content in the raw materials should be as low as possible in order to have high nitride content in the produced Si3N4. Nitrogen or hydrogen might be used to replace some or even all the argon to improve the yield of silicon nitride and reduce the cost. The ratio of ammonia to silicon tetrachloride should be high enough to obtain high conversion, but not exces-sively high to reduce the oxygen content due to the existence of water in ammonia. The simulated results were veri-fied by experiments.展开更多

A magnetic fluid was first prepared by a chemical co-precipitation method. Then magnetic microparticles were produced by mixing the monomers and the magnetic fluid with water in the presence of a stabilizer poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) to form a suspension, and finally benzoyl peroxide was added to initiate the co-polymerization. The morphology and magnetic properties of the microparticles were examined by TEM and VSM. The spherically shaped microparticles, with a size range of 4 to 7 urn, showed distinct Superparamagnetic characteristics. XRD was used to investigate the structure of the magnetite particles dispersed in the polymer matrix. The microparticles with epoxy groups on their surface can be applied directly to the separation of biomolecules.展开更多
