The high chromaticity se- riously hinders the reuse of reactive dye waste water. In this paper, a new method by bentonite adsorption and coagulation (PAC) is employed for removing color from synthetic dye waste water which contains reactive red K-2G, K-RN blue, K-GR blue, X-3B red, K-GN orange, KB-3G yellow, K-2BP red, K-RN yellow and K-6G yellow. Bentonite pre- treated by 4% CTMAB and milled to 160 order screen is proven to the best decoloring agent. For a 100 mL reactive red K-2G sample (CODcr 400 mg/L, 25 000 chromaticity color), 0.5 g bentonite pretreated and 2.5 mL PAC is enough to decolor wastewater up to 99.92% and the sediment time is short. Non-degradable dyes such as active red X-3B and K-GN orange are declored completely as well. Raw sewage (low chromaticity color) is decolored completely at a ben-tonite dosage of 0.001g. More researches prove the high practical value of this process.展开更多

Under permanent mould cast condition, there are four kinds of primary compounds with distinct crystallographic morphology, Mg17Al12(γ),Mg32(Al,Zn)49 (τ), MgZn (ε) and a ternary icosahedral quasi-crystalline compound (Q). Accordingly, Mg-Al-Zn alloy can be grouped intoγ-,τ-,ε- and Q-rype alloy by each characteristic compound. The volume fraction ofγ-Mg17Al12 in commercialγ-type alloy increases with increasing Al content. MgZn and MgxAlyZnz ternary complex compounds emerge with the change of the element content Al and Zn and Zn/Al concentration ratio. A practical phase diagram showing microstructure constituent change with composition was proposed. The addition of micro-alloying elements Y and Sr results in not only obvious refinement of eutectic cluster but also eutectic morphological change from block to granule.展开更多

The crystal growth orientation evolution of Al-1.0%Si alloy in CUS process was studied. The microstructure was observed and the orientation results examined by electron back scattering diffraction(EBSD) indicate that at the beginning of CUS process the crystals grow along a certain preferred orientation, <100> direction, but there are also other growth directions deflecting from this preferred orientation. It is found that as directional solidification continues, the crystals with high growth speed remain and those with low growth speed vanish. The crystal preferred orientation tends to be <100> direction in competition growth process. Namely, the <100> fiber texture of Al-1.0%Si alloy rod becomes stronger in the stable directional solidification establishing process. When the solidification parameters remain stable, the crystal growth orientation also obtains in steady state. Once the technological parameters fluctuate, the stray crystals deviating from the preferred orientation appear. After the process of competition growth the crystals regain strong preferred orientation. The orientation distribution function(ODF) results also testify the above conclusions.展开更多

Effect of vacuum on the solidification process and microstructure of LFC magnesium alloy were explored. The results indicate that vacuum plays a very important role in the heat transfer during mould filling and solidification periods, it increases the cooling rate of the filling melt, but greatly decreases the cooling rate of the casting during solidification period, and the solidification time of the casting is greater than that without vacuum. The microstructure of LFC magnesium alloy is rather coarse. Compared with that without vacuum, the microstructure of the LFC magnesium alloy under vacuum is more refined and has less precipitatedβ-phase, which is formed at the grain boundry and around the Al-Mn compound particle.展开更多

The results show that the transient solidification and remelting phenomena appear on the infiltration front and can be divided into two distinct regions: the remelting region and solid-liquid congruent melting region. The decrease of porosity always results in the increase of moving velocity difference between the infiltration front and the remelting front, which leads to the increase of the solid-liquid congruent region extent. But for the decrease of the rotational frequency, the difference of moving velocity between infiltration front and remelting front decreases, which leads to the decrease of regional extent. The infiltration front moving velocity is mainly influenced by the centrifugal infiltration pressure, whereas the remelting front moving velocity is mainly influenced by the material thermodynamics. The transient solidification and remelting phenomena are the intercoupling results between the centrifugal infiltration dynamics and the material thermodynamics.展开更多

The morphology of the growth interface was detected by SEM and AFM, and the grain lattice orientation was detected by XRD. The results indicate that the grains suffer competitive growth under any conditions in experiments. The lattice orientation of the preferred grains is determined by the flow field above the solid-liquid interface. The horizontal lattice position does not change during the growth process. However, the lattice orientation in the growth direction varies with the growth velocity and approaches to [100] gradually during the growth process.展开更多

The results show that the coarse columnar grains formed in pure Al are transformed into the equiaxed grains in electrolytic low titanium Al alloys. The grain refinement is resulted from the constitutional supercooling caused by Ti and heterogeneous nucleation of Al3Ti particles. Under the condition of normal cooling rate, the grains are refined by the increment of constitutional supercooling when the content of titanium is less than 0.2%. With the increment of content of titanium, the grains are mainly refined by heterogeneous nucleation of Al3Ti particles. The grain size is decreased with the increment of cooling rate. When the cooling rate is larger than 105℃/s, the grain size is decreased to 0.1-10μm, the grain refinement is resulted from the larger cooling velocities mainly. After directional solidification, the equiaxed grains can be formed and the Ti element is distributed at the center of the grains.展开更多
