三工位熔模制壳机设计与试验

为解决手工蜡模制壳过程中工人劳动强度大、模壳质量不易保证的问题,设计了一种三工位熔模制壳机,实现了挂钩-沾浆-粘砂-摘钩的连续循环作业。制壳机结构包括底座、机械臂转盘、机械臂转盘上120°均布的3个机械臂模块和超声波传感器。3个机械臂模块在机械臂转盘的带动下依次到达三工位的位置,机械臂模块完成熔模的升降、摆动、伸缩和旋转动作。超声波传感器检测浆面和浮砂面的高度值超过预设值后报警,提醒作业人员添料。试验结果表明,三工位熔模制壳机的制壳效率明显高于手工制壳,壳模浇注后的铸件尺寸精度和表面粗糙度值也略高于手工制壳。

Insight into Flocculation Mechanism of Chitosan

Grain analyzer, turbidimeter, Zeta potential instrument and microscope with Panansonic CCD are used to analyse the distribution of the bentonite grain, test the Zeta potential of bentonite and observe the structure of floes. Through the comparison among chitosan, PAM, and aluminum salt, it can be inferred that the flocculation mechanism of chitosan is something like interpartical bridging of PAM rather than the electrical neutralization by prositive charge.

Design and Fabrication of Chitosan for Application of Artificial Photosynthesis

Artificial photosynthesis is a new approach to generate sustainable energy. In order to constrain reaction solution in a solid state structure and increase the reaction efficiency in artificial photosynthesis reactions, we presented two methods to fabricate the chitosan scaffold with interconnected micro channels as construction structure of a novel artificial photosynthesis device. We built 3D chitosan structure with a home-made heterogeneous 3D rapid prototyping machine, and we used lyophilization method to generate the micron-scale pores inside the chitosan scaffold. Chitosan in acetic acid could achieve different viscosities. We found a proper chitosan recipe to construct 3D scaffold by our own rapid prototyping machine. Optional support material sodium bicarbonate was used in printing 3D scaffold for holding the printed structures, and the results images indicate that this method can make the scaffold stronger and more stable.

Sodium lanthanide fluoride core-shell nanocrystals： A general perspective on epitaxial shell growth

Understanding the structural characteristics and growth mechanism（s） are essen-tial for generating core-shell nano-heterostructures with distinctive properties. Especially in lanthanide-based nanocrystals, rational design of the core-shell composition can be utilized to enhance/tune the optical properties of the final nanostructure, or can be used to integrate multiple functional applications （e.g., luminescent/magnetic）. In this article, we review the progress in our current understanding of the epitaxial shell growth in sodium lanthanide fluoride （NaLnF4） nanocrystals. In order to understand epitaxial shell growth the core nanocrystals have to be uniform, and to date the synthesis of high quality near uniform size/shape dispersion controlled synthesis of lanthanide-based nanocrystals has been achieved mainly with this class of nanocrystals. The progress in core-shell synthesis and the epitaxial shell growth mechanism in this class of nanocrystals （NaLnF4） are reviewed, and a general perspective is provided on the core-shell morphology based on different characterization techniques. While there has been tremendous progress in studying the impact of core-shell structures in various functional applications, this review also highlights, in our view, the still limited understanding of ways to control the core-shell morphology and it emphasizes some important, unanswered questions that remain to be addressed to maximize their performance.

Understanding formation mechanism of ZnO diatomic chain and multi-shell structure using physical mechanics:Molecular dynamics and first-principle simulations

In this paper,the possibility of the monatomic chain (MC) formation for ZnO material was studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.The process of MC formation and the effects of temperature,strain rate and size were studied extensively.The tensile process can be divided to be five stages and the ZnO diatomic chain (DC) can be found.The MD results show that most atoms in MC came from the original surface of ZnO nanowires (NWs).Temperature and strain rate are two important factors affecting the process,and both high temperature and low strain rate in a certain range would be beneficial to the formation of DC.Moreover,the effects of strain rate and temperature could attribute to the Arrhenius model and the energy release mechanism.Furthermore,multi-shell structure was found for the samples under tensile strain and the layer-layer distance was about 3.Our studies based on density functional theory showed that the most stable structure of ZnO DC was confirmed to be linear,and the I-V curve was also got using ATK.

A possible mechanism for the formation of annual growth lines in bivalve shells

We report a unique shell margin that differed from the usual shell structure of Pinctada fucata.We observed empty organic envelopes in the prismatic layer and the formation of the nacreous layer in the shell margin.All the characteristics of the growing margin indicated that the shell was growing rapidly.To explain this anomaly,we propose the concept of "jumping development".During jumping development,the center of growth in the bivalve shell jumps forward over a short time interval when the position of the mantle changes.Jumping development explains the unusual structure of the anomalous shell and the development of annual growth lines in typical shells.Annual growth lines are the result of a discontinuity in the shell microstructure induced by jumping development.

Hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism and structure of largescale volcanic weathering crust of the Carboniferous in northern Xinjiang,China

The Upper Carboniferous in northern Xinjiang, China was formed in a post-collisional depression and collapsed structural setting. Within the Upper Carboniferous, volcanic rocks and source rocks alternate over a wide region. At the end of the Carboniferous, these layers were uplifted by plate collisions and subsequently weathered and leached. Volcanic weathering and leaching led to the establishment of weathered crusts that can be divided into five layers. Corrosion and crumble zones in these layers form favorable reservoirs. Volcanic weathering crust formed in sub-aerially exposed paleogeomorphic areas; the five relatively continuous layers are generally preserved in paleogeomorphic lowland and slope regions, but the upper soil layer is usually absent in structurally higher parts of the rock record. The thickness of the weathered layer has a positive nonlinear ex- ponential relationship to the duration of weathering and leaching, and the dynamic equilibrium time of weathered crust is about 36.3 Ma. The thickest weathered layer （~450 m） is located in fracture zones. Weathered crusts are possible from a range of volcanic rocks with different lithologies, given sufficient time for weathering and leaching. The combination of volcanic weathered crust and source rocks results in three types of hydrocarbon accumulation models： （1） sequences of volcanic weathered crust interbedded with source rocks, （2） a quasi-layered weathered volcanic core located above source rocks, and （3） volcanic rocks associated with pectinate unconformities adjacent to source rocks. Each of these three types has the potential to form a giant stratigraphic reservoir of volcanic weathered crust. This knowledge has changed the traditional exploration model of searching for favorable lithologic and lithofacies zones in volcanic rocks, and has changed the viewpoint that the Carboniferous does not have the genetic potential to be the basement of the basin in northern Xinjiang. The concepts developed here are of great scientific significance and application for focusing oil and gas exploration on volcanic weathered crust. As such, the Paleozoic volcanic weathered crust in the midwestern part of China may possibly contain large-scale stratigraphic reservoirs and thus could be a new oil and gas exploration target in the future.

Synthesis and photoluminescent properties of ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals

ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals are synthesized by a two-step solution-phase process. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the samples are detected by scanning electron microscopy, Raman, absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. The increase of particle size confirms the growth of ZnO shell. The segregation of CuO phase observed in ZnO: Cu core is not detected in ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals from Raman spectra. It is suggested that some Cu ions can be segregated from ZnO nanocrystals, and the separated Cu ions can be incorporated inside ZnO shell after the growth of ZnO shell. The visible emission mechanism is discussed in detail, and the photoluminescence analysis indicates that the core/shell structure helps to eliminate the surface-related emission.
