Electrochemical reduction characteristics and mechanism of nitrobenzene compounds in the catalyzed Fe-Cu process

The reduction of the nitrobenzene compounds （NBCs） by the catalyzed Fe-Cu process and the relationship between the electrochemical reduction characteristics of NBCs at copper electrode and reduction rate were studied in alkaline medium（pH=11）. The catalyzed Fe-Cu process was found more effective on degradation of NBCs compared to Master Builder＇s iron. The reduction rate by the catalyzed Fe-Cu process decreased in the following order： nitrobenzene 〉4-chloro-nitrobenzene ≥m-dinitrobenzene ：〉 4-nitrophenol ≥2,4-dinitrotoluene 〉2-nitrophenol. The reduction rate by Master Builder＇s iron decreased in the following order： m-dinitrobenzene ≥4-chloro-nitrobenzene 〉4-nitrophenol 〉2,4-dinitrotoluene ≈nitrobenzene 〉2-nitrophenol. NBCs were reduced directly on the surface of copper rather than by the hydrogen produced at cathode in the catalyzed Fe-Cu process. The reduction was realized by the hydrogen produced at cathode and Fe（OH）2 in Master Builder＇s iron, It is an essential difference in reaction mechanisms between these two technologies. For this reason, the reduction by the catalyzed Fe-Cu depended greatly on NBC＇s electron withdrawing ability.

Study on the Vibration Reduction Characteristics of FWMAV Flexible Bionic Wings Mimicking the Hindwings of Trypoxylus dichotomus

Using the method of structural finite element topology optimization and analysis of the hindwings of Trypoxylus dichotomus,this work identified the main loading force transmission path and designed the initial structure of a bionic flexible wing.A structural design scheme of the vibration damping unit was proposed,and the structural mechanics and modal vibration characteristics were simulated and analyzed.3D printing technology was used to manufacture the designed bionic wing skeleton,which was combined with two kinds of wing membrane materials.The Flapping Wing Micro-aerial Vehicle(FWMAV)transmission mechanism vibration characteristics were observed and analyzed by a high-speed digital camera.A triaxial force transducer was used to record the force vibration of the flexible bionic wing flapping in a wind tunnel.A wavelet processing method was used to process and analyze the force signal.The results showed that the force amplitude was more stable,the waveform roughness was the lowest,and the peak shaving phenomenon at the z-axis was the least obvious for the bionic flexible wing model that combined the topology-optimized bionic wing skeleton with a polyamide elastic membrane.This was determined to be the most suitable design scheme for the wings of FWMAVs.

Mass Loss and Direct Reduction Characteristics of Iron Ore-coal Composite Pellets

Mass loss and direct reduction characteristics of iron ore-coal composite pellets under different technological parameters were investigated. Meanwhile, changes of iron phase at different temperatures were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and characteristics of crushed products were studied by using a scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The results showed that heating rate had little influence on the reduction, but the temperature played an important role in the reduction process. The mass loss rate increased rapidly from 800 to 1 100 ℃. The reduction process can be divided into three steps which correspond to different temperature ranges. Fe2 03 began to transform into Fe304 below 500 ℃, and FeO was reduced into Fe from 900 ℃. At 900 ℃, the reduction product showed a clear porous structure, which promoted the reduction progress. At 1000 ℃, the metallic Fe dominated the sample, and the reduction reached a very high degree.

Dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride by the catalyzed Fe-Cu process

The dectrochemical reduction characteristics of carbon tetrachlofide （CT） were investigated using cyclic voltammetry in this study. In addition, the difference in reduction mechanisms of CT between Master Builders＇ iron and the catalyzed Fe-Cu process was discussed. The results showed that CT was reduced directly on the surface of copper rather than by atomic hydrogen produced at the cathode in the catalyzed Fe-Cu process. The reduction was realized largely by atomic hydrogen in Master Builders＇ iron. The entire CT in 350 ml aqueous solution with 320 mg/L was reduced to trichloromethane and dichloromethane in 2.25 h when 100 g of scrap iron with Fe/Cu ratio of 10：1 （w/w） were used. Moreover, the reduction rate slowed with time. CT could be reduced at acidic, neutral and alkaline pH from solution by Fe-Cu bimetallic media, but the mechanisms were different. The degradation rate was not significantly influenced by pH in the catalyzed Fe-Cu process; in Master Builders＇ iron it clearly increased with decreasing pH. The kinetics of the reductions followed pseudo-first order in both cases. Furthermore, the reductions under acidic conditions proceeded faster than that under the neutral and alkaline conditions. The catalyzed Fe-Cu process was superior to Master Builders＇ iron in treating CT-containing water and this advantage was particularly noticeable under alkaline conditions. The reduction was investigated in the cathode （Cu） and anode （Fe） compartments respectively, the results showed that the direct reduction pathway played an important role in the reduction by the catalyzed Fe-Cu process. The catalyzed Fe-Cu process is of practical value.

Low Temperature Reduction Degradation Characteristics of Sinter,Pellet and Lump Ore

The reduction degradation characteristics of typical sinter, pellet and lump ore were tested with the reducing gas conditions simulating two kinds of irowmaking processes. The results show that, in the same condition of gas composition and temperature, the reduction degradation degree （RDI〈3.15mm） of sinter is high, RDI〈3.15mm of lump ore is low and RDI〈3.15 mm of pellet is in the middle level. With two kinds of gas composition simulating different iron-making processes, the reduction degradation indices （RDI） of three kinds of iron ores all present the tenden- cy of ＂inverted V-shape＂ in the temperature range from 450 to 650℃, and the RDI reach the maximum value at 550℃. The reduction degradation degrees of iron ores are extended when mixing the gas with hydrogen to increase the re duction potential, and the influence extent is discrepant for different iron ores. Colligating the increase amplitude of grains in small size fraction, the influence of reducing gas on lump ore is the greatest, the influence on sinter is the second, and the sensitivity of pellet on the reducing gas properties change is relatively small. As for the degradation form, lump ore and sinter both present the degradation ,of cracking, and the distribution of small grains generated from the cracking is in the range from 03 5 to 6. 3 mm uniformly. The lump ore presents surface cracking, while sin- ter presents integral cracking. The pellet presents the degradation of surface stripping, and the proportion of grains smaller than 0.5 mm is the highest, which is up to 90% in the grains smaller than 3.15 mm.

A Review of Methods Based on Nanofluids and Biomimetic Structures for the Optimization of Heat Transfer in Electronic Devices

Nowadays,the utilization rate of electronic products is increasing while showing no obvious sign of reaching a limit.To solve the associated“internal heat generation problem”,scientists have proposed two methods or strategies.The first approach consists of replacing the heat exchange medium with a nanofluid.However,the high surface energy of the nanoparticles makes them prone to accumulate along the heat transfer surface.The second method follows a different approach.It tries to modify the surface structure of the electronic components in order to reduce the fluid-dynamic drag and improve the rate of heat exchange.This article reviews these effects considering different types of nanofluid and different shapes,sizes,and arrangements of“biomimetic grooves”.The idea to use these two methods in a combined fashion(to improve heat transfer and reduce flow resistance at the same time)is also developed and discussed critically to a certain extent.
