Industrial utilization of arsenic-containing gold dressing tailings as pellet prepared by straight grate process

The utilization of arsenic-containing gold dressing tailings is an urgent issue faced by gold production companies worldwide.The thermodynamic analysis results indicate that ferrous arsenate(FeAsO_(4)),pyrite(FeS_(2))and sodium cyanide(NaCN)in the arsenic-containing gold metallurgical tailings can be effectively removed using straight grate process,and the removal of pyrite and sodium cyanide is basically completed during the preheating stage,while the removal of ferrous arsenate requires the roasting stage.The pellets undergo a transformation from magnetite to hematite during the preheating process,and are solidified through micro-crystalline bonding and high-temperature recrystallization of hematite(Fe_(2)O_(3))during the roasting process.Ultimately,pellets with removal rates of 80.77% for arsenic,88.78% for sulfur,and 99.88% for cyanide are obtained,as well as the iron content is 61.1% and the compressive strength is 3071 N,meeting the requirements for blast furnace burden.This study provides an industrially feasible method for treating arsenic-containing gold smelting tailings,benefiting gold production enterprises.

Micro-analysis of high-temperature oxidation-resistance of a new kind of heat-resistant grid plate in grate-kiln

To further improve the oxidation-resistance of materials and reduce the cost of grid plates in grate-kiln, a new kind of heat-resistant grid plate was developed. The microstructure of this grid plate with a life more than 18 months was studied by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results show that high hardness, high intensity and good impact property make the new kind of heat-resistant grid plate and its oxide film have a higher resistance to deformation and abrasion at 900-1000℃ Besides, small grain size is beneficial to form a complete protective oxide film. The oxide film composed of SiO2 layer, Cr2O3 layer and Fe2O3 layer is rather thin and bonds closely with the backing. The forming of the chemical stable nickel-rich layer increases the density of Cr2O3 layer.

Efficient thermal analysis method for large scale compound semiconductor integrated circuits based on heterojunction bipolar transistor

In this paper, an efficient thermal analysis method is presented for large scale compound semiconductor integrated circuits based on a heterojunction bipolar transistor with considering the change of thermal conductivity with temperature.The influence caused by the thermal conductivity can be equivalent to the increment of the local temperature surrounding the individual device. The junction temperature for each device can be efficiently calculated by the combination of the semianalytic temperature distribution function and the iteration of local temperature with high accuracy, providing a temperature distribution for a full chip. Applying this method to the InP frequency divider chip and the GaAs analog to digital converter chip, the computational results well agree with the results from the simulator COMSOL and the infrared thermal imager respectively. The proposed method can also be applied to thermal analysis in various kinds of semiconductor integrated circuits.

The Attics of My Life： Joy Within the Melancholic Lyrics of John Keats and The Grateful Dead

This essay is a culmination of intensive research exploring the commonality between Dr. John Keats＇ poetry and the lyrics of The Grateful Dead. As this is the 50th anniversary of The Grateful Dead, it is appropriate to celebrate that with a scholarly paper. In teaching my course The GrateJid Dead as Poets I discovered compelling intersections between English Romantic poetry and the lyrics of The Grateful Dead. These findings are useful and important because the work of the Dead spans five decades and endures in ways that assure their place in literary history as well as the music world. The importance of The Grateful Dead cannot be overstated. They bring hope, love, joy and philanthropy to the world, as did the English Romantic poets. There is much yet to explore; this essay is about only a few of the many Grateful Dead lyrics.

CFD Analysis of Flow in a Grated Inlet

Effectively managing floods in urban regions requires effectively designed and well-maintained runoff collection system. The absence of such a system and intense rainfall event will have the potential to disrupt the urban life and cause significant economic loss to properties. Grated inlets, which are a key component in urban drainage network, are used to capture the runoff. In this work, a three dimensional CFD model was developed based on open-source CFD tool, OpenFOAM&#174, to model flow over a grated inlet. An incompressible, transient, multiphase flow, Volume of Fluid (VOF) simulation was performed to predict the water flow rate through the grate inlet. The predicted flow rates are compared with the HEC-22 monograph values. The close agreement between the results shows the potential of using CFD modeling approach to test the reliability of existing drainage inlets for different flow scenarios.

Applying XDEM to Analyze the Heat-up Process of Woody Biomass on a Backward Acting Grate

The objective of this study is analysis of heat-up process of wet woody particles on a backward acting grate including dynamics motion investigation by implementing XDEM （extended discrete element method） as a novel approach. In this method, the particles are resolved as the discrete phase （individual elements） coupled via heat, mass and momentum transfer to the continuous gas phase. The temperature of particulates along the backward acting grate is investigated by evaluating effects of operating parameters such as bar amplitude and period. Furthermore, the bar motion has effects largely on the heat-up process of the packed bed on the backward acting grate which is considered here as well. In other words, motion of particles caused by bar motion influences the heat transfer of particles and totally the packed bed. In fact, the particles＇ heat-up is performed by a radiative heat flux facing the packed bed surface so that heat transfer of particles as radiation and conduction with surrounding particles is taken into account in addition to convection heat transfer between particles and surrounding gas phase.

Large Spacing Array with Offset Phase Center Elements for Highly Integrated Applications

A scanning and uniform array architecture with large spacing,low complexity and high scalability is presented for high integration massive array applications.It is constructed by offset phase center elements arranged in a uniform and regular way,but its spacing can be larger than that of traditional arrays.An ideal model of the offset phase center element is established and its far-field distribution is derived.To suppress grating lobes,the phase center of any element is designed to be movable without changing its physical position.Using genetic algorithm(GA),a new constraint condition limiting the number of phase center changes is proposed to solve the objective function of the minimum values of grating lobes(GLs)and side lobes(SLs).It is shown that the optimal results can be achieved by two changes of phase centers.A multimode circular patch is developed and designed,and characteristics of the offset phase center are analyzed and verified.A prototype array of 12×12 offset phase center elements is implemented based on multi-mode circular patches.Full wave simulation results of radiation patterns show that the level of grating lobes is suppressed at least 7dB with 1.12λ spacing,while the scanning angle is 20°.

Topology optimization of on-chip integrated laser-driven particle accelerator

Particle accelerators are indispensable tools in both science and industry.However,the size and cost of conventional RF accelerators limits the utility and scope of this technology.Recent research has shown that a dielectric laser accelerator(DLA)made of dielectric structures and driven at optical frequencies can generate particle beams with energies ranging from MeV to GeV at the tabletop level.To design DLA structures with a high acceleration gradient,we demonstrate topology optimization,which is a method used to optimize the material distribution in a specific area based on given load conditions,constraints,and performance indicators.To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach,we propose two schemes and design several acceleration structures based on them.The optimization results demonstrate that the proposed method can be applied to structure optimization for on-chip integrated laser accelerators,producing manufacturable structures with significantly improved performance compared with previous size or shape optimization methods.These results provide new physical approaches to explore ultrafast dynamics in matter,with important implications for future laser particle accelerators based on photonic chips.

Multiwavelength Actively Mode-locked Fiber Laser with a Double-ring Configuration and Integrated Cascaded Sampled Fiber Bragg Gratings

A modified multiwavelength actively mode-locked fiber ring laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In this kind of laser, stable multiwavelengths lasing is achieved by integrating cascaded sampled fiber Bragg gratings(SFBGs) into the laser cavity. To implement actively mode-locking technique, a double-ring cavity configuration is used to assure that the cavity lengths for all wavelengths lasing are identical. Thus, simultaneous mode locking of all wavelengths has been successfully achieved by using the same mode-locking signal.

Numerical results for uniform gratings, phase-shifted gratings and grating cavities as well as electro-optic tunable gratings are presented. These integrated As2S3 sidewall gratings on LiNbO3 substrate provide an approach to the design of a wide range of integrated optical devices including switches, laser cavities, modulators, sensors and tunable filters.

Suspended nanomembrane silicon photonic integrated circuits

Leveraging the low linear and nonlinear absorption loss of silicon at mid-infrared(mid-IR)wavelengths,silicon photonic integrated circuits(PICs)have attracted significant attention for mid-IR applications including optical sensing,spectroscopy,and nonlinear optics.However,mid-IR silicon PICs typically show moderate performance compared to state-of-the-art silicon photonic devices operating in the telecommunication band.Here,we proposed and demonstrated suspended nanomembrane silicon(SNS)PICs with light-guiding within deep-subwavelength waveguide thickness for operation in the short-wavelength mid-IR region.We demonstrated key building components,namely,grating couplers,waveguide arrays,micro-resonators,etc.,which exhibit excellent performances in bandwidths,back reflections,quality factors,and fabrication tolerance.Moreover,the results show that the proposed SNS PICs have high compatibility with the multi-project wafer foundry services.Our study provides an unprecedented platform for mid-IR integrated photonics and applications.

Ultralow cross talk arrayed waveguide grating integrated with tunable microring filter array

The silicon-based arrayed waveguide grating(AWG)is widely used due to its compact footprint and its compatibility with the mature CMOS process.However,except for AWGs with ridged waveguides of a few micrometers of cross section,any small process error will cause a large phase deviation in other AWGs,resulting in an increasing cross talk.In this paper,an ultralow cross talk AWG via a tunable microring resonator(MRR)filter is demonstrated on the SOI platform.The measured insertion loss and minimum adjacent cross talk of the designed AWG are approximately 3.2 and-45.1 d B,respectively.Compared with conventional AWG,its cross talk is greatly reduced.

Self-synchronized multi-color Q-switched fiber laser using a parallel-integrated fiber Bragg grating

We demonstrate an intracavity self-synchronized multi-color Q-switched fiber laser using a parallel-integrated fiber Bragg grating(PI-FBG), fabricated by a femtosecond laser with a point-by-point parallel inscription method. The multi-color Q-switched pulses can be always self-synchronized when the group delay differences between neighboring spectra range from-3.4 to 3.4 ps.The starting and evolution dynamics indicate that the saturable absorption effect of the carbon nanotube plays a dual role: synchronously triggering the startup of the pulse at successive colors by active Q-switching and spontaneously compensating to some extent the temporal walk-off of the multi-color pulses through the cross saturable absorption modulation. This work unveils the intracavity self-synchronization mechanism of the multi-color Q-switched pulses and also demonstrates the potential of PI-FBGs for the customizable generation of the synchronized multi-color pulse in a single cavity.

The Martin moving grate technology

The thermal treatment of waste using grate-based systems has gained global acceptance as the preferred method for sustainable management of residual waste.This is because the energy content of the waste is utilized and quality products and residues are produced.Modern Waste-to-Energy(WtE)plants are extremely complex.Sound knowledge of“fuel”waste and its effects on the design and operation of WtE plants is crucial for the successful planning and operation of these plants.To respond to new challenges and/or priorities,developing and implementing innovative technologies is necessary.With long-term global partnerships and innovative grate and combustion technologies,Martin guarantees that in future,residual waste will be treated following ecological and economic constraints and in compliance with international legal requirements.

Integrated contra‑directionally coupled chirped Bragg grating waveguide with a linear group delay spectrum

Due to the advantages of low propagation loss,wide operation bandwidth,continuous delay tuning,fast tuning speed,and compact footprints,chirped Bragg grating waveguide has great application potential in wideband phased array beamforming systems.However,the disadvantage of large group delay error hinders their practical applications.The nonlinear group delay spectrum is one of the main factors causing large group delay errors.To solve this problem,waveguides with nonlinear gradient widths are adopted in this study to compensate for the nonlinear efect of the grating apodization on the mode efective index.As a result,a linear group delay spectrum is obtained in the experiment,and the group delay error is halved.
