Multi-scale analysis of carbon mineralization in lime-treated soils considering soil mineralogy

Mineral carbonation is emerging as a reliable CO_(2) capture technology that can mitigate climate change.In lime-treated clayey soils,mineral carbonation occurs through the carbonation of free lime and cementitious products derived from pozzolanic reactions.The kinetics of the reactions in lime-treated clayey soils are variable and depend primarily on soil mineralogy.The present study demonstrates the role of soil mineralogy in CO_(2) capture and the subsequent changes caused by carbon mineralization in terms of the unconfined compressive strength(UCS)of lime-treated soils during their service life.Three clayey soils(kaolin,bentonite,and silty clay)with different mineralogical characteristics were treated with 4%lime content,and the samples were cured in a controlled environment for 7 d,90 d,180 d,and 365 d.After the specified curing periods,the samples were exposed to CO_(2) in a carbonation cell for 7 d.The non-carbonated samples purged with N2 gas were used as a benchmark to compare the mechanical,chemical-mineralogical,and microstructure changes caused by carbonation reactions.Experimental investigations indicated that exposure to CO_(2) resulted in an average increase of 10%in the UCS of limetreated bentonite,whereas the strength of lime-treated kaolin and silty clay was reduced by an average of 35%.The chemical and microstructural analyses revealed that the precipitated carbonates effectively filled the macropores of the treated bentonite,compared to the inadequate cementation caused by pozzolanic reactions,resulting in strength enhancement.In contrast,strength loss in lime-treated kaolin and silty clay was attributed to the carbonation of cementitious phases and partly to the tensile stress induced by carbonate precipitation.In terms of carbon mineralization prospects,lime-treated kaolin exhibited maximum carbonation due to the higher availability of unreacted lime.The results suggest that,in addition to the increase in compressive strength,adequate calcium-bearing phases and macropores determine the efficiency of carbon mineralization in lime-treated clayey soils.

Prediction of lime utilization ratio of dephosphorization in BOF steelmaking based on online sequential extreme learning machine with forgetting mechanism

The machine learning models of multiple linear regression(MLR),support vector regression(SVR),and extreme learning ma-chine(ELM)and the proposed ELM models of online sequential ELM(OS-ELM)and OS-ELM with forgetting mechanism(FOS-ELM)are applied in the prediction of the lime utilization ratio of dephosphorization in the basic oxygen furnace steelmaking process.The ELM model exhibites the best performance compared with the models of MLR and SVR.OS-ELM and FOS-ELM are applied for sequential learning and model updating.The optimal number of samples in validity term of the FOS-ELM model is determined to be 1500,with the smallest population mean absolute relative error(MARE)value of 0.058226 for the population.The variable importance analysis reveals lime weight,initial P content,and hot metal weight as the most important variables for the lime utilization ratio.The lime utilization ratio increases with the decrease in lime weight and the increases in the initial P content and hot metal weight.A prediction system based on FOS-ELM is applied in actual industrial production for one month.The hit ratios of the predicted lime utilization ratio in the error ranges of±1%,±3%,and±5%are 61.16%,90.63%,and 94.11%,respectively.The coefficient of determination,MARE,and root mean square error are 0.8670,0.06823,and 1.4265,respectively.The system exhibits desirable performance for applications in actual industrial pro-duction.

Cement and Lime Stabilization Effect on the Evolutivity of an Expansive Overconsolidated Clay

This paper presents and analyzes the results of a series of compaction,fragmentability and damage tests performed on an expansive overconsolidated clay treated with cement and lime.This clay was obtained from the urban site of Sidi-Hadjrès city(wilaya of M'sila,Algeria),where significant damages frequently appears in the road infrastructures,roadway systems and light structures.Tests results obtained show that the geotechnical parameters values deduced from these tests are concordant and confirm the evolutivity of this natural clay treated with composed Portland cement or extinct lime and compacted under optimum Proctor conditions.

Sustainability of lime stabilized road subgrade in mountainous regions of Türkiye

In this paper the use of lime stabilized subgrade for low volume roads in two regions with high mountains and different frost penetration conditions in Türkiye was investigated in terms of design,performance,and cost.Pavements on unstabilized and stabilized subgrade were designed for two regions(Izmir and Van),covering all climate variations.The resilient modulus of the lime stabilized subgrade with different soil pulverization levels for non-freezing and freezing conditions were taken from a previous laboratory study.Frost effects were considered in pavement design using two different approaches,including limited subgrade frost penetration method and reduced subgrade strength method.Detailed application and evaluation were performed for all steps.Lime stabilized subgrades significantly reduced the thickness of base courses,and the benefit of lime stabilization was highly dependent on soil pulverization level.A detailed cost analysis on the unstabilized and stabilized cases found that the use of lime stabilization in the subgrade provided significant initial cost savings.Comparative analysis by using the AASHTO(1993)method and KENPAVE software,and quantity effect of soil pulverization level on the performance of low volume roads from a service life perspective,show that subgrade resilient modulus can be estimated.It is also possible to make correct performance estimation in the field.The results of the study show that lime stabilization is a good solution for low volume roads in the mountainous regions of Türkiye.

CI Acid Orange 52 Dye Removal Using Natural and Formulated Clay-Lime Materials: Isotherm, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies

The main objective of the study is to improve the removal efficiency of Ourlago-kaolin (Kao), sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT), and two formulated clay-lime (F13 and F23) towards CI Acid Orange 52 dye (AO52). F13 and F23 were obtained by chemical stabilization through thermal treatment at 300°C. Fourier Transform Infrared spectra showed different surface functional groups on the clay materials, X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the raw materials contain many crystalline phases, scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed the variation of the layered structures of different clay materials, energy dispersive X-Ray analysis micrographs revealed compositional information and thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry curves indicated the higher weight loss of 11.26% and 11.38% were observed for F13 and F23 respectively. BET surface area analyzed gave 133.0071 m2•g−1 for F13 and 132.34803 m2•g−1 for F23. The optimum pH value was 2.0 for Kao and Na-MMT. The adsorption experiments indicated that F13 and F23 have the maximum uptake abilities of 7.8740 and 3.1645 mg•g−1, respectively, compared to Kao (0.8761 mg•g−1) and Na-MMT (2.6178 mg•g−1). The pseudo-second-order model well described the adsorption kinetic model of AO52 dye onto the overall samples;Langmuir and Freundlich’s isotherms appropriately described the uptake mechanism. The positive values of ∆G° and negative value ∆H° indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic for Na-MMT, and non-spontaneous and exothermic for Kao, F13, and F23 because of their positive values of ∆G° and negative value of ∆H°. The modified clays have higher adsorption capacities and better life cycles compared hence opening new avenues for efficient wastewater treatment.

Preliminary Study on the Treatment Efficiency of Pasteurized Lime Thermal Alkaline Hydrolysis for Excess Activated Sludge and Reduction of Tetracycline Resistance Genes

Thermal alkaline hydrolysis is a common pretreatment method for the utilization of excess activated sludge(EAS).Owing to strict environment laws and need for better energy utilization,new methods were developed in this study to improve the efficiency of pretreatment method.Direct thermal hydrolysis(TH),pasteurized thermal hydrolysis(PTH),and alkaline pasteurized thermal hydrolysis(PTH+CaO and PTH+NaOH)methods were used to treat EAS.Each method was compared and analyzed in terms of dissolution in ammonium nitrogen(NH_(4)^(+)-N)and soluble COD(SCOD)in EAS.Furthermore,the removal of tetracycline resistance genes(TRGs)and class 1 transposon gene intI1 from EAS was investigated.The NH_(4)^(+)-N and SCOD concentrations in EAS treated by PTH were 1.24 and 2.58 times higher than those of TH.However,the removal efficiency of total TRGs and intI1 between the groups was comparable.The SCOD concentration of the PTH+NaOH group was 4.37 times higher than that of the PTH group,and the removal efficiency of total TRGs was increased by 9.52%compared with that by PTH.The NH_(4)^(+)-N and SCOD concentrations of the PTH+CaO group could reach 85.04%and 92.14%of the PTH+NaOH group,but the removal efficiency of total TRGs by PTH+CaO was 19.78%lower than that by PTH+NaOH.Thus,to reduce the financial cost in actual operation,lime(CaO)can be used instead of a strong alkali(NaOH),and pasteurized steam at 70℃ instead of conventional high-temperature heating to treat EAS.This study provides a reference for the development of alkaline hydrolysis under moderate temperatures along with the removal of TRGs in EAS.

IsomapVSG-LIME:一种新的模型无关解释方法

为了解决局部可解释模型无关的解释(local interpretable model-agnostic explanations,LIME)随机扰动采样方法导致产生的解释缺乏局部忠实性和稳定性的问题,本文提出了一种新的模型无关解释方法IsomapVSG-LIME。该方法使用基于流形学习的等距映射虚拟样本生成(isometric mapping virtual sample generation,IsomapVSG)方法代替LIME的随机扰动采样方法来生成样本,并使用凝聚层次聚类方法从虚拟样本中选择具有代表性的样本用以训练解释模型;本文还提出了一种新的解释稳定性评价指标—特征序列稳定性指数(features sequence stability index,FSSI),解决了以往评价指标忽略特征的序关系和解释翻转的问题。实验结果表明,本文提出的方法在稳定性和局部忠实性上均优于现有的最新模型。

Influence of Salt-Lime Stabilization on Soil Strength for Construction on Soft Clay

Construction on soft soil is one of the most challenging situations faced by geotechnical engineers. The heterogeneous and complex nature of soil, especially those containing organic clay, often makes it impossible for the construction specification to be addressed properly. Generally, clay exhibits low strength, high compressibility, and strength reduction when subjected to mechanical disturbance. This means that construction on clay soil is vulnerable to bearing capacity failure induced by low inherent shear strength. All these properties can be improved by the effective stabilization of soil. This study analyzed the effectiveness of incorporating salt-lime mixtures at various dosages in improving the strength increment of the soil. The results indicate that among different combinations of salt and lime, the best performance in terms of strength increase was achieved by adding 10% NaCl with 3% lime in the soil. The outcome of this study focuses on enhancing the ultimate strength of soil and its implementation in the field of foundation engineering.

聚脲甲醛缓释肥减量深施对小麦和玉米产量及氮肥吸收率的影响

为了探究聚脲甲醛缓释肥(PF)减量深耕对小麦和玉米作物产量、氮肥利用效率以及矿质养分迁移的影响,设置对照(CK)、尿素+旋耕(OPTX)、尿素+深耕(OPTS)、PF+旋耕(PFX)和PF+深耕(PFS)5个处理,在豫南砂姜黑土小麦、玉米农田开展大区试验。结果表明,对比传统尿素(OPT)处理,PF处理小麦、玉米产量显著高于OPT处理,尤其PFS处理较OPTX处理小麦和玉米季产量分别高12%和6.4%,较OPTS处理分别高3.4%和1.8%;与产量不同,PFS处理仅显示玉米季氮肥利用率(NUE)高于OPTX和OPTS处理,而小麦季NUE甚至低于OPTS处理,这可能与PF在小麦季深耕条件下养分释放速度慢有关。对比两种耕作方式,发现PFS处理小麦季产量与PFX处理产量无显著差别,而玉米季产量显著高于PFX处理;与产量不同,PFS处理小麦季NUE显著低于PFX处理,而玉米季无显著差别,这可能与玉米季更适宜的气象条件和小麦季PF养分的后续释放有关。对比土壤铵态氮(NH_(4)^(+)-N)、硝态氮(NO_(3)^(-)-N)残留量和总氮浓度,发现作物收获后,PFS处理0~30和30~60 cm土层NH_(4)^(+)-N残留量与PFX处理无显著差异,NO_(3)^(-)-N残留量显著低于PFX处理,而总氮含量略高于PFX处理,这可能与PF处理在小麦季深耕条件下氮素未释放完全有关。总而言之,依据作物的产量和氮肥利用效率,聚脲甲醛缓释肥在深耕条件下显示出更高的产量效益和增产潜势,尤其玉米季作物吸氮量、产量和NUE有了显著提升,值得被推荐。

徐州土山二号汉墓中白灰材料的科学研究

徐州土山二号墓是近年来发掘的一座重要的东汉早期诸侯王级墓葬,并成功入选2020年度全国十大考古新发现。该墓葬属于砖室墓,墓葬中多处、大量使用白灰的情况为同时期墓葬中所罕见,代表着当时高度发达的白灰生产和应用的工艺水平。白灰是中国古代应用最为广泛的胶凝材料之一,但目前针对它的科学研究仍存在着较大的空白。为深入探究土山二号白灰的成分和功用,对该墓中白灰的使用情况进行了调查,并利用X射线衍射分析(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱分析(FTIR)、热重-差示扫描量热分析(TG-DSC)、扫描电镜显微观察(SEM)、碘淀粉实验和多孔材密度、孔隙率、吸水率测试、X射线荧光光谱分析(XRF)等多种技术手段对各类白灰样品进行了分析测试。研究结果显示,土山二号墓中的所有白灰样品均由天然石灰石经人工煅烧后生成,且没有添加骨料成分,反映出汉代时古人烧制石灰的工艺已经十分纯熟;白灰的原材料都来源于利用徐州本地青石类高钙天然材料烧制的石灰,碳酸钙含量到达了85%以上,说明当时在煅烧石灰时已经具有优选原材料的意识;石灰在墓中具有多种用途,包括墓室砖石墙体的砌筑灰浆、墓室踢脚线和顶券的装饰抹灰及棺内墓主尸身下防腐吸潮的衬灰等,说明当时人们已经对石灰的性质有了相当的了解并能够将之善加利用;样品由于与外界自然环境接触,发生了明显的侵蚀和风化,亟需进行加固保护处理。该研究对于了解中国东汉时期古人对石灰性能的认识及其在生产生活中的应用等科技文明发展状况具有重要意义,也为后续相关文物的保护提供了科学的参考。

紫云英和石灰配施对水稻镉吸收的影响

通过盆栽试验研究了单纯紫云英翻压(GM),以及紫云英与石灰共施(GM0HL)、紫云英+常量石灰晚施(GM5HL)、紫云英+减量石灰晚施(GM5LL)等处理对土壤性状、水稻根表铁膜及水稻对镉吸收转运的影响。结果表明,相较于对照(CK),翻压紫云英可显著(P<0.05)提高土壤有机质含量2.1~2.7 g·kg^(-1)。相较于GM处理,增施石灰后,土壤pH值显著提高0.38~0.78个pH单位,且土壤有效态Cd含量显著降低21.71%~41.28%。在紫云英快速腐解末期,增施了石灰的处理(GM0HL、GM5HL、GM5LL),土壤Eh显著高于GM处理。与CK相比,GM0HL、GM5HL、GM5LL处理在分蘖期的水稻根表铁膜Fe含量分别显著下降43.34%、38.82%和29.00%,根表铁膜Cd含量分别显著下降43.72%、35.56%和12.72%。主成分分析的结果显示,土壤pH值和有机质含量是影响水稻Cd吸收的关键因子,提高土壤pH值和有机质含量可以降低土壤Cd有效性,增加水稻根表铁膜厚度和根表铁膜Cd含量,从而抑制水稻对Cd的吸收。在试验条件下,紫云英翻压5 d后减量施用石灰,既可以达到较好的降Cd效果,又能在一定程度上减少Cd污染耕地的治理投入。
