The results indicate that the corrosion rates of NiFe2O4-based cermetanodes prepared in the vacuum and the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3 （volume fraction） are 6.46 and 2.71 cm/a,respectively. Though there is a transition layer with lots of holes or pores, a densified layer is formed on the surface of anode due tosome reactions producing aluminates. For the anode prepared in the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3, the thickness of thedensification layer （about 50 μm） is thicker than that （about 30 μm） formed on the surface of anode prepared in the vacuum. Thecontents of NiO and Fe（II） in NiFe2xO4-y-z increase with the decrease of oxygen content in sintering atmosphere, which reduces thecorrosion resistance of the material.展开更多

The densification and grain growth of the MAS wereinvestigatedbytheArchimedes drainage method and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. All the specimens were corroded in aNa3AlF6-AlF3-CaF2-Al2O3bath to assess the corrosion resistance. The results show that a MAS material with a high relative density of 99.2% and ahomogeneous microstructure is achieved under two-step sintering conditions. The corrosion mechanisms of MAS inNa3AlF6-AlF3-CaF2-Al2O3 bathare mainly proposed by dissolution of MAS, formation of aluminum oxide, and diffusion of fluorides. The MAS prepared by two-step sintering exhibits good corrosion resistance to theNa3AlF6-AlF3-CaF2-Al2O3bath.展开更多

The briquettes were produced using a Jack press at an average pressure of 10.7 kg.cm^-2. The sawdust and binders were mixed at ratios of 100：15, 100：25, 100：35 and 100：45 in weight, respec tively. The briquettes produced were subjected to physical and combustion tests. Both the physical and combustion properties of the briquettes vary with binder types and binder levels （p 〈 0.05）. The result shows that briquettes bonded with starch gave better performance based on density of 0.546 g.cm^-3, durability rating of 95.93%, heating value of 33.09 MJ.kg^-1, percentage of fixed carbon of 84.70% and low ash and volatile matter of 3.35% and 11.95%, respectively, while briquette bonded with gum arabic has density of 0.425 g.cm^-3, durability rating of 94.85%, heating value of 32.76 MJ.kg^-l, percentage of fixed carbon of 87.30% and low ash and volatile matter of 4.45% and 8.75, respectively. Since the aim of briquetting is to produce briquette that will serve as a good source of fuel and support combustion, the best briquette was produced when the sawdust-starch ratio and sawdust-gum arabic ratio was 100：25 and 100：35, respectively.展开更多
