Results of tests show that such mortars are resistant to alkali-silica expansion. Mortars are also sulfate-resistant when the amount of HCFA in the complex binder is within a limit of 10 wt%. The fineness of fly ash determines its’ ability to activate GGBFS hydration, and influence soundness of the binder, early strength development, sulfate resistance and efflorescence behavior. The present article is a continuation of authors’ work, previously published in MSA, Vol. 14, 240-254.展开更多

However, the carbon content of fly ash is usually very high, which greatly infuences the gasification efficiency. The purpose of this research is to investigate the gasification reactivity of a high-sodium Zhundong (ZD) coal fly ash obtained from a pilot-scale 2.5 t/d CFB gasification system. The experiments were carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer with steam as gasification agent, and fast pyrolyzed ZD char was also investigated as a reference sample. The results show that increasing temperature accelerates the gasification rate both for fly ash and ZD char. Fly ash has higher gasification rate at the initial gasification stage. On the contrary, ZD char has higher reaction rate even at higher carbon conversion stage. Via distributed activation energy model, the average activation energy of ZD char and fly ash is calculated to be 94.4 and 91.2 kJ/mol, respectively. The integrated model study reveals that the reaction order of ZD char is about 0.74, whereas the reaction order of fly ash decreases from 1 to 0.59 when temperature increases from 900 to 1050 ℃. The gasification reactivity of ZD coal fly ash is quite different with literature research on those fly ashes with rarely little catalytic elements in coal ashes. The interesting results are related with the unique properties of ZD coal fly ash and the transformation of sodium during gasification process.展开更多

The morphology of corrosion products was observed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the composition was analyzed using an energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental results showed that the corrosion came from pitting corrosion and the rust layer was composed of outer rust layer γ-FeOOH and inner rust layer Fe_2O_3 with a little β-FeOOH. The correlation between corrosion rate and test time accorded with exponential rule. The corrosion current measured by polarization methods was higher than that calculated by weight loss method after a long-time immersion, the main reason was that,β-FeOOH and γ-Fe_2O_3 transformed by γ-FeOOH led to overestimating corrosion rate. The processes of corrosion prophase were obtained from XRD and EIS results. The corrosion product, Fe(OH)_2 formed at the initial stage stayed at a non-steady state and then consequently transferred to γ-FeOOH, γ-Fe_2O_3 or β-FeOOH.展开更多

The results showed that the degradation process of ammonia nitrogen by sodium hypochlorite accorded with a pseudo first-order kinetics model,and the influencing factors included Na Cl O dosage,initial concentration of ammonia nitrogen,salinity,temperature,and so on. When Na Cl O dosage was 0. 6%( MCl∶ MN= 13. 76),the reaction rate constant was up to 0. 015 75 min^(-1). The higher the initial concentration of ammonia nitrogen was,the worse the effect of oxidation reaction was. When the initial concentration did not exceed 45 mg/L,the effect on oxidation reaction rate constant increased with the increase of the initial concentration. Low salinity had no effect on ammonia nitrogen oxidation.When salinity was higher than 2. 0%,the inhibition effect on ammonia nitrogen oxidation would increase,and the reaction rate constant decreased obviously with the increase of salinity. The improvement of reaction temperature was beneficial to ammonia oxidation degradation. As temperature increased from 10 to 35 ℃,the reaction rate constant rose from 0. 00188 to 0. 01043 min^(-1).展开更多

The experiments showed that average tungstenleaching efficiency of more than 96. 92 % can be obtained with a low NaOH consumption by using the mechani-cal activating caustic decomposition , and the content of main impurities (P, As, Si) in Na_2WO_4 solution ob-tained is competitive with that from standard wolframite concentrate by traditional caustic decomposition. Afterrecovering caustic liquor by first crystallization, molylxlenum is removed from Na_2WO_4 solution by ion ex-change method. High-purity sodium tungstate is obtained by second crystallization of Na_2WO_4 solution. Thistechnology has the advantages of good adaptability for raw materials, high removing efficiency of impurities,high tungsten recovery and high economic benefit.展开更多

The effects of grafting conditions such as temperature, reaction time, Mohr’s salt concentration, and total concentration of monomer on grafting yield were studied. Both grafting yield of AA and SSS onto HDPE respectively increases with total concentration of monomers. The highest grafting yield was observed at 3 mol/L monomers where the grafted PE swelled to the largest extent in the monomers mixture. The grafting yield increases with reaction time and then levels off. At higher temperature, the grafting yield decreases with Mohr’s salt concentration, but increases at low temperature when Mohr’s salt concentration is 0.083%. Which can be interpreted that in the presence of Fe2+ diperoxides and hydroperoxides may decompose at low temperature to form radical which can initiate the grafting. The physical and chemical properties of grafting films were also investigated.展开更多

The method employed TLC aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60F254 as the stationary phase. The solvent system consisted of methanol:water:ammonium acetate; 4.0:1.0:0.5 (v/v/v). This system was found to give compact and dense spots for both itopride hydrochloride (Rf value of 0.55__+0.02) and pantoprazole sodium (Rf value of 0.85+0.04). Densitometric analysis of both drugs was carried out in the reflectance- absorbance mode at 289 nm. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship with R2=0.9988___0.0012 in the concentration range of 100--400 ng for pantoprazole sodium. Also, the linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship with R2=0.9990_+0.0008 in the concentration range of 200-1200 ng for itopride hydrochloride. The method was validated for specificity, precision, robustness and recovery. Statistical analysis proves that the method is repeatable and selective for the estimation of both the said drugs. As the method could effectively separate the drug from its degradation products, it can be employed as a stability indicating method.展开更多

Substitution of 10% - 30% of GGBFS by HCFA and premixing of 1% - 3% Na2CO3 to this dry binary binder was discovered to give mortar compression strength of 10 - 30 to 30 - 45 MPa at 7 and 28 days when moist cured at ambient temperature. High-calcium fly ash produced from low-temperature combustion of fuel, like in circulating fluidized bed technology, reacts with water readily and is itself a good hardening activator for GGBFS, so introduction of Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> into such mix has no noticeable effect on the mortar strength. However, low-temperature HCFA has higher water demand, and the strength of mortar is compromised by this factor. As of today, our research is still ongoing, and we expect to publish more data on different aspects of durability of proposed GGBFS-HCFA binder later.展开更多

In this study, we induced cerebral infarction in stroke- prone spontaneously hypertensive rats by intragastric administration of high-sodium water (1.3% NaC1) for 7 consecutive weeks. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that, compared with the non-infarcted contralateral hemisphere, stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats on normal sodium intake and Wistar-Kyoto rats, matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression, the number of blood vessels with discontinuous collagen IV expression and microvessel density were significantly higher, and the number of continuous collagen IV-positive blood vessels was lower in the infarct border zones of stroke-prone sponta- neously hypertensive rats given high-sodium water. Linear correlation analysis showed matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression was positively correlated with the number of discontinuously collagen IV-labeled blood vessels and microvessel density in cerebral infarcts of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats. These results suggest that matrix metalloproteinase-9 upregula- tion is associated with increased regional angiogenesis and degradation of collagen IV, the major component of the basal lamina, in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats with high-sodi- um water-induced focal cerebral infarction.展开更多
