Chemical and Thermal Characterization of Cement Mortar Containing Ground Palm Oil Fuel Ash as a Partial Cement Replacement

This study investigates the influence of using ground palm oil fuel ash(G-POFA) from 10%-30% as cement replacement(by weight) on the cement mortar's pH under various curing conditions. These findings were supplemented by thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA). Moreover, the resistance of G-POFA blended cement mortars to water absorption and sorptivity was determined. Further, the k-value test was carried out to explain the pozzolanic and filler behavior of G-POFA and to support the results obtained from TGA. It was found that there was no significant impact of several curing conditions on the pH of mortars. The mortar with 10% G-POFA in replacement of cement(G-POFA-10) exhibited the best resistance against water absorption and sorptivity.

Thermomechanical and Hydrous Effect of Heavy Fuel Oil in a Building Material Based on Silty Clayey Soil

This study focuses on the use of heavy fuel oil in construction in Burkina Faso.Mixed with silty and/or clay soil,it is used as a coating to reinforce the walls of raw soil constructions which are very sensitive to water.The interest of this paper is to shed light on the thermomechanical and above all water effects of heavy fuel oil on a sample of silty clayey soil.To achieve this,we used heavy fuel oil added in different proportions to silty clayey soil,to make sample of bricks on which tests were carried out.At the end of the experimental tests carried out on materials made(bricks)with our soil sample,it appears that heavy fuel oil moderately reduces the mechanical resistance of bricks and slightly increases thermal diffusion through them.On the contrary,we note a very good water resistance of the bricks thanks to the heavy fuel oil,in particular their water absorption by capillarity.This confirms that the mixture of heavy fuel oil and a silty-clayey soil used as a coating makes it possible to prevent the infiltration of water into the walls of raw soil constructions.However,its use as a construction material does not guarantee very good mechanical resistance,and slightly increases thermal diffusion.

Hexagonal boron nitride:A metal-free catalyst for deep oxidative desulfurization of fuel oils

Oxidative desulfurization(ODS)has been proved to be an efficient strategy for the production of clean fuel oil.Numerous metal-based materials have been employed as excellent ODS catalysts,but being hindered by their high-cost and potential secondary pollution.In this work,we employed graphene analogous hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN)as a metal-free catalyst for ODS with hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)as the oxidant.The h-BN catalyst was characterized and proved to be a few-layered structure with relatively high specific surface areas.The h-BN catalyst showed a 99.4%of sulfur removal in fuel oil under the optimized reaction conditions.Besides,the h-BN can be recycled for 8 times without significant decrease in the catalytic performance.Detailed mechanism analysis found that it is the boron radicals in h-BN activated H2O2 to generate·OH species,which can readily oxidize sulfides to corresponding sulfones for separation.This work would provide another choice in choosing metal-free catalysts for ODS.

Numerical simulation of heavy fuel oil atomization using a pulsed pressure-swirl injector

It is known that increasing the injection pressure reduces the breakup length and the droplet size.Adding pulses,on the other hand,helps to atomize the liquid into finer droplets,similar to airassisted injectors but without altering the airtofuel concentration.To further reduce the droplet size and breakup length,a novel injector type,called''Pulsed PressureSwirl"(PPS),is introduced in this work,which is a combination of pressureswirl and ultrasonic pulsed injectors.A pressureswirl atomizer was designed and fabricated specifically for Mazut HFO(Heavy Fuel Oil).The droplet formation process and droplet size distribution have been studied experimentally(by shadowgraphy high speed imaging)and numerically(with the opensource VolumeofFluid code Gerris).Changing liquid injection pressure effect on the spray angle and film thickness has been quantified.These simulations have been used to study the primary breakup process and quantify the droplet size distributions,using different injection pulse frequencies and pressures.The numerical results have revealed that the new injector concept successfully produces finer droplets and results in a decrease in the breakup length,especially when applying high pulse frequencies,with no significant changes in the spray angle.

Comparison of toxicity effects of fuel oil treated by different dispersants on marine medaka(Oryzias melastigma) embryo

This study aims to evaluate the subacute toxic effects of oil under different treatments on marine organism by simulating natural contaminative processes. In this study, 120# （RMD15） fuel oil was selected as the pollutant and marine medaka （Oryzias melastigma） embryos as the experimental organism. The developmental toxicity of different volume concentrations （0.05%, 0.2%, 1% and 5%） of water-accommodated fractions, biologically-enhanced water-accommodated fractions, and chemically-enhanced water-accommodated fractions on the embryos in different exposure time （8, 15 and 22 d） were compared and the content of relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） was studied （in dispersion and in vivo）. The subacute toxic effects were assessed in terms of antioxidant activities of enzymes （superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione S-transferase） and the blue sac disease （BSD） indexes.The results showed that the BSD indexes of the treatment groups were significantly higher than the respective control groups and showed positive correlations with both concentration and exposure time. The experiments with three antioxidant enzymes indicated that enzymatic activities of the embryos changed dramatically under the oxidation stress of petroleum hydrocarbons, especially after adding the dispersants. With the increase of petroleum hydrocarbon concentration and exposure time, the three enzymes showed different degrees of induction and inhibition effects.

Strength and chloride resistance of blended Portland cement mortar containing palm oil fuel ash and fly ash

This paper presented a study on the strength and chloride resistance of mortars made with ternary blends of ordinary Portland cement （OPC）, ground palm oil fuel ash （POA）, and classified fly ash （FA）. The mortar mixtures were made with Portland cement type I containing 0-40wt% FA and POA. FA and POA with 1wt%-3wt% retained on a sieve No.325 were used. The compressive strength and rapid chloride penetration depth of mortars were determined. The results reveal that the use of ternary blended cements produces good strength mortars. The use of the blend of FA and POA also produces high strength mortars and excellent resistance to chloride penetration owing to the synergic effect of FA and POA. A mathematical analysis and two-parameter polynomial model were presented to predict the compressive strength. The mathematical model correlated well with the experimental results. The computer 3-D graphics of strength of the ternary blended mortars were also constructed and could be used to aid the understanding and the proportioning of the blended system.

The Biomarker Changes of a Heavy Fuel Oil After Different Weathering Times

This paper presents the experimental results of composition changes of heavy fuel oil by stmulating weathering in static seawater under natural environmental conditions. The results indicate： n-C10 to n-C15 were lost gradually in 24 weeks and the relative abundance of alkanes with long chains （〉n-C19） increased markedly. The aromatic compounds with less than two tings （except C4N） were completely lost in 24 weeks and CnP and CnD became the main aromatics in the heavy fuel oil after 24 weeks. The ratios of n- C1/Pristane （Pr） and n-C18 Phytane （Ph） were suitable for identifying lightly weathered （3 weeks） heavy fuel oil. The ratios of n-ClT/n-C18 and Pr/Ph were suitable for identifying moderately weathered heavy fuel oil （12 weeks）; the ratios of C2D/C2P and C3D/C3P did not change significantly in 24 weeks and were more suitable for identifying moderately weathered heavy fuel oil （24 weeks）.

Numerical Heat Transfer Modelling for Rapid Impact Assessment of Limiting Thermostat Reliability on Fuel-Oil Burner Pre-Heaters： A Case Study

In this paper, the impact of limiting thermostat on the rupture event occuring in Fuel-Oil burner fuel pre-heaters＇ resistant （heat generating） wires is inspected numerically. Gaseous fuel content in the pipeline has also been issued as a possibility. Heater＇s inner temperature distributions have been simulated by an in-house MATrix LABoratory （MATLAB） script in order to understand the resistant wire exposure to high temperatures by numerous scenarios. It is concluded that the effect of fuel flowrate is not a major effect on the wires＇ fate because of the limiting thermostat co-working. The main difference between the calculations is the effect of thermostat cut off function. The numerical simulations enlightened the dominant effect of thermostat sensing delay, so the overheating event. Intolerable delay results with a quick drop in the thermal efficiency and an increased possibility on wire rupture due to overheating which means a burner malfunction. Referring to the first numerical simulation results, a distributed and reduced heat flux was implemented with the same fluid and thermodynamic properties on a revised pre-heater model with an increased heater plate. The increment, thus the reduction on the heat flux of the ribbon wires has been noted as the key for safe operation.
