Temperature is an important effect on adsorbent performance, as the dynamic adsorption coefficients tend to increase with decreasing temperature. To minimize the volume of the fixed-bed adsorber, the dynamic adsorption characteristics of Xe were studied at 77 K by employing a variety of adsorbents under different operational conditions. The carbon molecular sieve performed better than that of activated carbon. Both operational conditions and the presence of gaseous impurities were found to affect the adsorption properties.展开更多

It was consolidated to maximum stresses in the range of 0.3-2.6 MPa. The test results show that the stress-strain-strength properties of the clay during undrained shear are significantly stress-dependent. In particular, in the case of high consolidation pressure, the post-peak drop in strength on stress-strain curves and shear plane in soil specimens are more evident, the peak stress ratio and the axial strain at which this ratio was reached are smaller, and the relationship between pore pressure and axial strain is also significantly different from that for the case of low consolidation pressure. The environmental scanning electron microscope observations and micro analysis lead to an understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying the above stress-dependent mechanical behavior. In addition, the CIUC behaviors of the studied clay are discussed in the context of critical state soil mechanics.展开更多
