However, with the replacement ratio increasing, the consistency of heat front and flame front is broken, and the thermal utilizing efficiency of fuel is reduced, which results in the decrease of yield and tumble index of sinter. Circulating flue gas to sintering bed as biochar replacing 40% coke, CO in flue gas can be reused so as to increase the thermal utilizing efficiency of fuels, and the consistency of two fronts is recovered for the circulating flue gas containing certain CO2, H2 O and lower O2, which contributes to increasing the maximum temperature, extending the high temperature duration time of sintering bed, and results in improving the output and quality of sinter. In the condition of circulating 40% flue gas, the sintering with biomass fuels is strengthened, and the sintering indexes with biomass fuel replacing 40% coke breeze are comparative to those of using coke breeze completely.展开更多

The results of study had shown that at a SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio in thefeed equating to 9∶1 the SiO_2 recovery rate and Al_2O_3 utilization rate were high with a fasterflow velocity of the filtrate. The pH value of the system had great impact on the flow velocity offiltrate. Between the two methods for regulating the pH value, the one for formation ofsilica/alumina gel slurry by addition of sulfuric acid prior to adding aluminium sulfate in thesolution could secure a faster filtration velocity. The filtration velocity was decreased in tandemwith increasing SiO_2 concentration in mother liquor, meanwhile an increase in dry filter cakeyield.展开更多

It shows the recycle demetallating process is effective on removing metal elements in heavy crude oil, especially with regard to calcium, through commercial application in delayed coking unit. Finally, the ash content in petroleum coke can be decreased to less than 0.5%, which complies with the IB coke standard. At the same time, the recycle demetallating process is an environmentally friendly technique, which has little effect on production quality and equipment corrosion.展开更多

It is of great importance to explore a green cross-linking strategy in the area. Herein, we report a new ‘‘green" strategy based on hydrolyzable ester cross-links for cross-linking diene-typed elastomers. As a proof of concept, a commercial carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) is efficiently cross-linked by a bio-based agent, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), without any toxic additives. ESO exhibits an excellent plasticization effect and excellent scorch safety for XNBR. The crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the ESO-cured XNBR can be manipulated in a wide range by changing simply varying the content of ESO. In addition, zinc oxide (Zn O) performs as a catalyst to accelerate the epoxide opening reaction and improve the cross-linking efficiency, serving as reinforcement points to enhance the overall mechanical properties of the ESO-cured XNBR. Furthermore, the end-oflife elastomer materials demonstrate a closed-loop recovery by selectively cleaving the ester bonds, resulting in very high recovery of the mechanical performance of the recycled composites. This strategy provides an unprecedented green avenue to cross-link diene elastomers and a cost-effective approach to further recycle the obtained cross-linked elastomers at high efficiency.展开更多

Globally averaged continental crust, however, has an andesitic bulk composition and is hence too silicic to have been derived directly from the mantle. It is well known that one way this imbalance can be reconciled is if the parental basalt differentiates into a mafic garnet pyroxenitic residue/cumulate(‘‘arclogite'') and a complementary silicic melt, the former foundering or delaminating into the mantle due to its high densities and the latter remaining as the crust.Using the Sierra Nevada batholith in California as a case study, the composition of mature continental arc crust is shown in part to be the product of a cyclic process beginning with the growth of an arclogite layer followed by delamination of this layer and post-delamination basaltic underplating/recharge into what remains of the continental crust.A model is presented, wherein continuous arc magmatism and production of arclogites in continental arcs are periodically punctuated by a delamination event and an associated magmatic pulse every *10–30 My. The recycling flux of arclogites is estimated to be *5 %–20 % that of oceanic crust recycling by subduction. Delaminated arclogites have the necessary trace-element compositions to yield time-integrated isotopic compositions similar to those inferred toexist as reservoirs in the mantle. Because of their low melting temperatures, such pyroxenites may be preferentially melted, possibly forming a component of some hotspot magmas.展开更多

The primary swirling flow in circumferential direction is superimposed by a secondary motion in the meridional plane. The flow is visualized by introducing ink through a hole in the center of the axes and distributed radially in the central plane between the interacting bodies. The flow structure depends on the shape of the bodies, their geometrical arrangement and the Reynolds number given by the rotational speed. The observed flow structures gave rise to further investigations with PIV-measurcments and numerical simulations.展开更多
