The results show that the co- hesive zone shape almost does not affect the particle movement in the upper shaft and deadman shape. The particles in the lower central bottom experience large normal force to support the particles above them, while particles around the raceway and in the fast flow zone exhibit weak force network. The porosity distribution was also examined under three kinds of cohesive zones. Like the velocity distribution, the whole packed bed can be divided into four main re- gions. With the increase of cohesive zone position, the low porosity region located in the root of cohesive zone increa- ses. And the porosity distribution becomes asymmetric in the case of biased cohesive zone.展开更多

The results indicated that green pellets had loose and network supporting structure with initial strength, and large cracks and pores existed in the pellets. The carbonation reaction was controlled by interracial chemical reaction at the initial fast stage, which limited diffusion and thus caused the reaction rate to decrease. With increasing reaction temperature and CO2 partial pressure, the conversion rates of CaO and the number of microcrystalline CaCO3 particles increased, and the volume expansion of CaCO3 led to a decrease in the open porosity, average pore size and specific surface area of the pellets. Micro pores were occluded, and the number of smaller pores (diameter less than 50 nm) increased, thereby resulting in the more compact and uniform structure of carbonated pellets. Simuhaneously, the dense structure prevented CO2 diffusion into the product layer, affecting the increase in carbonation conversion rate.展开更多

The crystallization behavior of the modified BF slag is significant to the fi- brosis process. To investigate the influence of basieity on the crystallization behavior, BF slag was modi- fied by adding iron ore tailing at room temperature and melted at 1 500 ℃. FactSage simulation, X-ray dif- fraction, scanning electron microscopy backscattered electron imaging coupled to an energy dispersive spectrometer, and hot thermocouple technique analysis were performed to explore the crystallization be- havior of the modified BF slag during the cooling process. It was found that the initial crystallization tem- perature increased with the increase in basicity. Melilite, anorthite, clinopyroxene, and wollastonite could be generated during the cooling process as basicity ranged from 0.7 to 0.9. Spinel could be found as one of the phases; however, wollastonite disappeared under a basicity of 1.0. The initial crystallization tempera- ture was controlled by the crystallization of melilite during the cooling process when the basicity of the modified BF slag ranged from 0. 7 to 1.0. Moreover, the cooling rate could also influence the crystalliza- tion of the modified BF slag.展开更多

The burnt lime was made by the calcination of limestone in a high pressure electric furnace. The burnt lime mineralogical phases and micro-morphologies were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scan- ning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The burnt lime activity degree was determined by acid-base titration, the burnt lime pore distribution was measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and the thermal effect of a mixture of burnt lime and slag was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the CaO grain size and pore size of burnt lime made under high pressure were larger than those of burnt lime made under atmos- pheric pressure. The CaO grain size and pore size increased and the laminate phenomenon also occurred clearly under high pressure. The activity degree of burnt lime made under high pressure was greater than that made under atmos- pheric pressure. The maximum activity degree was 437 mL for burnt lime made under a pressure of 0.4 MPa. For the same ratio of CaO to SiOz, the melting temperature, hemisphere temperature and fluidity temperature of slag decreased with increasing burnt lime activity degree. The higher the activity degree the burnt lime had, the better the slag forming occurred. It was advantageous for -2CaO · SiO2 and 3CaO · SiO2 forming at lower temperatures if the burnt lime activity degree was increased.展开更多
