Total content of heavy metals in sieved fly ash were analytically determined. We also carried out Tessier extractive experiments to check the chemical species of heavy metals. Experiment results show that the content of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd ascend when particle size is smaller. Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd obviously enrich in particulate fly ash. The chemical species of heavy metal distribution ranking sequence generally is residual〉organic combinative〉Fe-Mn oxide combinative〉carbonate combinative〉ion-exchangeable. Lead＇s amiable-move species were high in proportion, amounted to 35%. Total content of Cadmium is at low level, but its ion-exchangeable species is relatively high in proportion. Nickel and zinc is mainly distributed in residue. Cu is mainly distributed in residue and organic combinative form. The content of manganese is relatively high in fly ash, and the carbonate combinative iron-manganese oxide combinative species are main chemical form. Cr is mainly distributed in residue, and its other chemical species are at low level. Compared with the soil background value of study area and Shandong Province, the content of Cu, Ni, Zn, Mn and Cr in fly ash of gangue power plant is lower. While contents of Pb and Cd were higher than background value, and amiable-move species is relatively high in proportion. They are more apt to cause heavy metal pollution.展开更多

In this paper, the use of grey relational analysis for optimizing the square hole flanging process parameters with considerations of the multiple response (the average flanging height, regular flanging and maximum strain) is introduced. Various flanging parameters, such as the blank inner radius rb, blank inner width B0, are considered. An orthogonal array is used for the experimental design. Multiple response values are obtained using finite element analysis (FEA). Optimal process parameters are determined by the grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis for multi-performance characteristics (flanging height, regular flanging and maximum strain). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the grey relational grade is implemented. The results showed good agreement with the experiment result. Grey relational analysis can be applied in multiple response optimi-zation designs.展开更多

The present study attempts to find the optimal level of machining parameters for multi-performance characteristics in turning of Al-SiC-Gr hybrid composites using grey-fuzzy algorithm. The hybrid composites with 5%, 7.5% and 10% combined equal mass fraction of SiC-Gr particles were used for the study and their corresponding tensile strength values are 170, 210, 204 MPa respectively. Al-10%（SiC-Gr） hybrid composite provides better machinability when compared with composites with 5% and 7.5% of SiC-Gr. Grey-fuzzy logic approach offers improved grey-fuzzy reasoning grade and has less uncertainties in the output when compared with grey relational technique. The confirmatory test reveals an increase in grey-fuzzy reasoning grade from 0.619 to 0.891, which substantiates the improvement in multi-performance characteristics at the optimal level of process parameters setting.展开更多

Three aspects were examined： the micro-morphology, the mineral composition and the content of heavy metals. The results show that the fly ash from plants using a circulating fluidized bed are more irregular par- ticles, while the particles from the plants using a pulverized coal-fired boiler are mainly spherical in shape. Quartz and mullite are the main crystalline phases in the ash. Clearly, both the technology and the coal used by a power plant can influence the mineral composition of the ash. The mineral composition of fly ash from a circulating fiuidized bed is more complex than that from a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The quantity of elements found in the fly ash is greater than that found in the bottom ash for the same plant. Heavy metals are likely to be enriched in the fly ash. Heavy metal leachability was studied using two leaching methods. The results indicate that most of the heavy metals that leached during either batch leaching or column leaching experiments did not exceed the related maximum concentration standards. But Ni concentrations in the leachates from both batch and column tests exceed the standard. The highest excess rates in both tests were 572~ and 497~, which levels might threaten the environment.展开更多

Effects of temperature on the binding efficiency of heavy metals, the change of chemical compositions and the weight loss of fly ash in the range of 800-1350 ℃ were studied. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) of the United States was used to analyze the leaching characteristics of heavy metals in fly ash and molten slag. Results indicate that chemical compositions, the weight loss of fly ash and the binding efficiency of heavy metals in fly ash have a tremendous change in the range of 1150-1260 ℃. The percentage of CaO, SiO2 and Al2O3 increases with the increasing temperature, whereas it is contrary for SO3, K2O, Na2O and Cl; especially when the temperature is 1260 ℃, the percentage of these four elements decreases sharply from 43.72% to 0.71%. The weight loss occurs obviously in the range of 1150-1260 ℃. Heavy metals of Pb and Cd are almost vaporized above 1000 ℃. Cr is not volatile and its binding efficiency can reach 100% below 1000 ℃. Results of TCLP indicate that the heavy metal content of molten slag is beyond stipulated limit values.展开更多

The aim of the present research is to prepare new metal-immobilized complexes based on rice husks and to study their catalytic activity in the oxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide. The corresponding metal complexes were obtained by interaction of RRH （raw rice husks） or thermally treated WRHA in air atmosphere. The complexes were obtained from aqueous solutions of various salts such as FeCl2.4H2O, COCl2.6H2O, VOSO4.5H2O and Na2MoO4.2H2O at room temperature. The rice husks-supported metal complexes were identified by infrared spectroscopy. The structure of the iron-containing polymeric materials was evaluated by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of the molybdenum-containing complex catalyst in the principal epoxidation reaction was higher than that of the vanadium-containing one, whereas, the opposite order of activities was found for the side reaction of allylic hydroxylation of cyclohexene. Under selected reaction conditions, the yields of the principal reaction products cyclohexene oxide （1,2-epoxycyclohexane） and 2-cyclohexene-1-ol were 36.4% and 22.7%, respectively.展开更多
