The production of coal agglomerates of the range 15-27.51 mm was achieved. The crushing strength of the agglomerates was determined for good handling of fine (coal-liquid mixture) to improve fugitive dust control, decrease in transportation losses, reduce risk of coal freezing, lower risk of spontaneous combustion, etc. in iron and steel industries, railway corporations and coal corporations. Kerosene (paraffin oil) was used as a binder and the agglomerated coal oil mixture was pelletized using balling technique (disc). Mechanical and physical tests like compressive strength test, etc. were carried out. The relationship between the bridging liquid surface tension and specific surface area on strength factor of coal agglomerates showed that there is considerable variation in these parameters in the coal powder systems.展开更多

The thiol-terminated PDMAM was synthesized by the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization. Then, the PDMAM-Au NPs were prepared by a simple, one-pot and green process. It has been observed that existence of the silver ions evoked a small red-shift to the emission peak of PDMAM-Au NPs and an obvious increase in UV absorption. The detection limit of the present method for silver ions was 0.5 ?mol/L, with a linear range of 1.0–1000 ?mol/L. Moreover, the possible mechanism for enhanced UV absorption intensity with enlarged diameter of PDMAM-Au NPs was explored and discussed briefly. The results demonstrated that silver ions could be detected by the PDMAM-Au NPs based colorimetric assays, further opening up new ways for the visualization and quantification of silver ions involved in our daily life.展开更多

Here, we demonstrate the Al4B2O9 nanorods-modified poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolyte (ASPE) with high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, decent mechanical property and nonflammable performance. Specifically, because of the longer-range ordered Li+ transfer channels conducted by the interaction between Al4B2O9 nanorods and PEO, the optimal ASPE (ASPE-1) shows excellent ionic conductivity of 4.35×10^−1 and 3.1×10^−1 S cm^−1 at 30 and 60℃, respectively. It also has good electrochemical stability at 60℃ with a decomposition voltage of 5.1 V. Besides, the assembled LiFePO4//Li cells show good cycling performance, delivering 155 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles at 1 C under 60℃, and present excellent low temperature adaptability, retaining over 125 mA h g^−1 after 90 cycles at 0.2 C under 30℃. These results verify that the addition of Al4B2O9 nanorods can effectively promote the integrated performance of solid polymer electrolyte.展开更多
