This includes manipulation of the gas input and how it is distributed to cells in a bank. A new gas dispersion technology was presented which was conducted to perform characterization tests in Outokumpu 30 m3 and 50 m3 flotation cells installed at Thompson Vale's concentrator, and subsequent data analysis. The experimental program was designed to establish "as-found" baseline conditions for each cell of the two-parallel banks in the scavenger-cleaner and recleaner circuit, to select and characterize one typical cell in the two banks with either different frother concentrations or different air flow rates, and establish what variables can be manipulated in future characterization work. A three-parameter model was developed in order to link the bubble size and frother concentration. This relationship can be used to correlate gas dispersion change to improved metallurgical performance.展开更多

The whole aluminum electrolysis cell was treated as a resistance circuit, and the dynamic simulation of the cell equivalent circuit was modeled with Matlab/Simulink simulation software. The time-series signals of cell voltage and anode current were obtained under different bubble conditions, and analyzed by spectral and statistical analysis methods.

When the bubble coverage of one anode block exceeds 80%, the cell voltage may exceed its normal fluctuation amplitude. The simulation also proves that the anode effect detected by computer in actual production is mainly the whole cell anode effect.展开更多

The passive UHF RFID transponder with complex impedances is powered by received RF energy. The approach uses the parasitic inductance of the antenna to implement ASK modulation by adjusting the capacitive reactance of the matching network, which changes with the backscatter circuit. The impedance matching achieves maximum power transfer between the reader, antenna, and transponder. The transponder IC,whose operating distance is more than 4m with the impedance matching approach,is fabricated using a Chartered 0.35μm two-poly four-metal CMOS process that supports Schottky diodes and EEPROM.展开更多
