Its mixtures were prepared with a DW content of 25%and 50% and the C/N ratios of mixtures are 13.1 and 17.6, respectively. The effluent dewatering properties were evaluated under stable conditions which the biogas yield and the effluent pH were steady. The natural settleability, biogas yield, centrifugal dewatering, centrifugal supernatant turbidity and specific resistance filtration (SRF) were investigated. The results showed that the effluent dewatering properties of anaerobic co-digestion of mixtures between SS and DW were better than that of anaerobic digestion of SS alone. In the anaerobic digestion system with the feed were SS, mixture of SS and a DW content of 25%and 50% in order, the net biogas yield of secondary sludge in ADSA,ADSB and ADSC were 0.42 0.507 and 0.511 m3 biogass/kg.VS.d ; compared with the biogas yield in anaerobic digestion system A (ADSA), the biogas yield in anaerobic digestion system B (ADSB) and anaerobic digestion system C (ADSC) had been increased by more than 20% respectively; the SRF of three digested sludge are(were) from 6.8×10^13, 1. 1×10^13 to 5.1×10^12 m/Kg, natural settling rates of 12 h are 26, 37 and 56% and that of 24 h are 32%, 45% and 59% respectively; the centrifugal dewatering rate of 3 min at speed of 1000 rpm were 16%, 31% and 51% respectively; the turbidity of centrifugal supernatant were 804, 754 and 678FTU simultaneously.展开更多

The blended cements were hydrated and their phase compositions were evaluated by thermogravimetric and powder X-ray diffraction at 28 days. The morphology of the samples was also determined. The water demand, setting time, compressive and flexural strengths of mortar and concrete samples were determined up to 365 days. The study concluded that the portlandite [Ca(OH)2] content was considerably reduced whilst ettfingite formation were enhanced as a result of admixture reactions. The water demand and setting times of blended cements were lower than OPC with 5% admixture content but higher with increasing content. The mechanical test results also showed that Class 42.5N and 32.5R cements can be produced from the binary and ternary blends containing up to 10% and 20% admixtures, respectively.展开更多

The steel slag was used to replace cement up to 30% and then blended cement powder, paste and mortar samples prepared for the experiment. The quantitative analysis of XRD shows that ettringite formation is greatly reduced by incorporation of steel slag but there was a relatively low reduction of portlandite. Thermal analysis by TG shows that slag injection reduced portlandite content in the cement by at least 50%. Generally, the slag cement pastes required less water to form a workable paste compared to the reference cement, reducing as the slag content was increased. However, the setting times were higher than the reference. The permeability of the blended cement samples were lower than the control. The incorporation of 5% slag could not have an effect on the compressive strength of the concrete. The results confirmed that whilst cements with up to 15% slag content satisfied the strength requirements of class 42.5 N and those containing 20%-30% produce Class 32.5R cement.展开更多
