An aqueous solution containing Ca(NO_(3))_(2) and Mg(NO_(3))_(2) is produced during the enrichment of low-grade phosphate rock by leaching of HNO_(3) or calcination coupling with leaching of NH_(4)NO_(3) solution. Preparation liquid fertilizer is a preferential way to utilize it. The liquid−solid phase diagrams of Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-Mg(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O, KNO_(3)-Mg(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O, KNO_(3)-Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O and KNO_(3)-Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-Mg(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O systems at 313.15 K were studied by isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. Two crystallization regions of Ca(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O and Mg(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O were observed in the phase diagram of the ternary system Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-Mg(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O, a liquid fertilizer with a maximal total nutrient content of 27.46% and a nutrients ratio of N:Ca:Mg = 8.40:10.37:1 can be formed. A homogenous solution can be formed by mixing Ca(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O and Mg(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O.

The obtained maximal total nutrient content of liquid fertilizer is 23.32% with the ratio of N:K_(2)O = 1:3.39. In the ternary system KNO_(3)-Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O, the crystallization regions of Ca(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O and KNO_(3) were observed. The obtained maximal total nutrient content of liquid fertilizer is 38.41% with the ratio of N:K_(2)O:Ca = 1.05:1.18:1. A homogenous solution can also be formed by mixing Ca(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O and KNO_(3) directly. In the quaternary system KNO_(3)-Ca(NO_(3))_(2)-Mg(NO_(3))_(2)-H_(2)O, the crystallization regions of Ca(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O, Mg(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O and KNO_(3) and the co-crystallization region of KNO_(3) and Mg(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O were observed. The obtained maximal total nutrient content of liquid fertilizer is 38.41% with the ratio of N:K_(2)O:Ca = 1.05:1.18:1. The modified BET model was successfully used to fit the solubility curves.

Bubble formation models for variant gasliquid flow pat terns have been developed based on force balance. The effects of the orientation of gasliquid flow, gas velocity, liquid velocity and orifice diameter on the initial bubble size have been clarified. In ambient airwater system, thesultable gasllquid flow pattern is important to obtain smaller bubbles under the low velocity liquid crossflow con ditions with stainless steel spargers. Among the four types of gasliquid flow patterns discussed, the horizontal orifice in a vertically upward liquid flow produces the smallest initial bubbles. However the orientation effects of gas and liquid flow are found tobe insgnifican whenliq.uid velocity is.higher than. 3.2 m;sa or theorifice diameter is small enough.展开更多

A liquid cross-flow over a sparger can produce smaller bubbles, and hereby enhance the performance of contactor. A one stage model by balancing the forces acting on a growing bubble was developed to describe the formation of the bubble from an orifice exposed to liquid cross-flow. The prediction with this model agrees with the experimental data available in the literatures, and show that orifice size strongly affects the bubble size. It is showed that the shear-lift force, inertia force, surface tension force and buoyancy force are major forces, and a simplified mathematical model was developed, and the detachment bubble diameter can be predicted with accuracy of <±21%.展开更多

The results demonstrated that a competing high-temperature hydrolysis reaction of calcium chloride with moisture in a damp atmosphere occurred concurrently with the conversion reaction of K-feldspar with CaCl2, thus reducing the amount of potassium extracted. The conversion reaction started at approximately 600 °C and accelerated with increasing temperature. When the temperature rose above 900 °C, the extraction of potassium gradually decreased due to the volatilization of the product, KCl.As much as approximately 41% of the potassium was volatilized in 40 min at 1100 °C. The mass ratio of CaCl2/K-feldspar ore significantly affected the extraction. At a mass ratio of 1.15 and 900 °C, the potassium extraction reached 91% in 40 min, while the extraction was reduced to only 22% at the theoretical mass ratio of 0.2. Optimal process conditions are as follows: ore particle size of 50–75 μm, tablet forming pressure of 3 MPa, dry nitrogen atmosphere, mass ratio of CaCl2/ore 1.15:1, calcination temperature of 900 °C, and calcination time of 40 min.The XRD analysis revealed that a complex phase transition of the product SiO2 was also accompanied by the conversion reaction of K-feldspar/CaCl2. The SiO2 product formed at the initial stage was in the quartz phase at 900 °C and was gradually transformed into cristobalite after 30 min.展开更多

We propose an efficient methodology via the co-reaction of K-feldspar and phosphogypsum for the extraction of soluble potassium salts and recovery of SO_2 with reduced CO_2 emission and energy consumption. The results of characterization and reactivity evaluation indicated that the partial melting of K-feldspar and phosphogypsum in the hightemperature co-reaction significantly facilitated the reduction of phosphogypsum to SO_2 and the exchange of K^+(K-feldspar) with Ca^(2+)(CaSO_4 in phosphogypsum). The reaction parameters were systematically investigated with the highest sulfur recovery ratio of ~ 60% and K extraction ratio of ~ 87.7%. This novel methodology possesses an energy consumption reduction of ~ 28% and CO_2 emission reduction of ~ 55% comparing with the present typical commercial technologies for utilization of K-feldspar and the treatment of phosphogypsum.展开更多

For three emulsions included ethanol/water/2-ethyl-1-hexanol, ethanol/water/2-ethyl-1-hexanol/SDS(Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate) and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol/water/SDS emulsion, deemulsification ratios of oil phase could reach 1, 1 and 0.67 respectively at 170 r·min-1, and de-emulsification ratios increased obviously after agitating 10 min. De-emulsification experiment in the seam indicated that oil droplet sizes in O/W emulsion became larger after de-emulsification. The main de-emulsification mechanism in RHCD was the coalescence of oil droplets in oil-wet narrow channels. With increase of the rotation speed, oil droplets dispersed better in the aqueous phase. However, de-emulsification effect enhanced due to the increase of the coalescence rate at a bit higher rotation speed. In addition, internal circulation made those O/W emulsions to be broken repeatedly, consequently de-emulsification ratio increased. Repeated de-emulsification through internal circulation might make continuous extraction of ethanol come true at a low rotation speed.展开更多
