离线式带钢双面翻转检查站方案设计及实践

针对某酸轧机组检查站穿带困难、检查效率低、产生废品多、故障率高的问题,开发了一种离线式带钢双面检查站。该检查站新增了带钢翻转装置,将在入口分切剪处完成定尺剪切的带钢试样由两侧压板夹紧,中间可升降皮带机落下,翻转装置将带钢试样张紧,并翻转90°或者180°,实现带钢的双面检查。皮带机两侧布置有可升降、可横移的活动操作平台,检测人员站在平台上对带钢进行打磨检查,可同时对带钢上下表面进行检测。由于缩短了带钢的传输距离,有效减少了其他擦划伤的影响,提高了带钢表面质量检测准确性。     

Effect of spheroidized microstructure on the impact toughness and electrochemical performance of a high-carbon steel

The influence of cementite spheroidization on the impact toughness and electrochemical properties of a high-carbon steel has been thoroughly investigated in this study. Heavy warm rolling, followed by 2 h of annealing, has resulted in near-complete spheroidization, leading to a microstructure consisting of nano-cementite globules dispersed in the ultrafine-grained ferritic matrix. The Charpy impact test exhibited superior impact toughness with increased spheroidization. It is validated by the presence of abundant dimples in the fractographs of spheroidized specimens, in contrast to the as-received one that experienced a brittle failure due to its lamellar pearlitic structure. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) carried out in a 3.5% NaCl solution revealed that the corrosion resistance of the alloy gets improved with the increase in the degree of spheroidization. This is attributed to the lower susceptibility of the spheroidized specimen to microgalvanic corrosion owing to the minimum area of contact between nano-spheroidized cementite and ferrite, as elucidated with the help of EIS results aided by equivalent electrical circuit model.

Ammonia production using iron nitride and water as hydrogen source under mild temperature and pressure

Ammonia generation was studied in the reaction between water and nitrogen-containing iron at 323 K and atmospheric pressure. Similar to metallic Fe, the interstitial compound Fe₃N reduced water through Fe oxidation to produce hydrogen gas, while the N combined with atomic hydrogen to produce ammonia as a byproduct. The addition of carbon dioxide to this system accelerated the reaction with concomitant consumption of carbon dioxide. The promoted ammonia production upon addition of carbon dioxide can be attributed to the generation of atomic hydrogen from the redox reaction of carbonic acid and Fe, as well as removal of used Fe from the reaction system through the formation of a soluble carbonato complex. When carbonate was added to the reaction system, the production rates of ammonia and hydrogen increased further. The results here confirmed that ammonia can be synthesized from iron nitride under mild conditions by utilizing carbon dioxide.     

Hydrogen production employing Cu(BDC) metal–organic framework support in methanol steam reforming process within monolithic micro-reactors

Cu(BDC) metal–organic framework (MOF) was used as a support for the copper (Cu) catalyst applied in the methanol steam reforming (MSR) process at low temperatures (130–250 °C) with a feed WHSV = 9.2 h^?1 within the monolithic reactor. Also, the effects of diverse promoters were examined on the catalytic activities of the Cu/X–Cu(BDC) (X = Ce, Zn, Gd, Sm, La, Y, Pr) catalysts. Results showed that the Ce/Sm–Cu(BDC) supports exhibited highest activities, lowest reduction temperatures and largest specific surface areas, which caused highest distributions of the active copper metal nanoparticles on the supports. The reactor tests displayed that the activities of Cu/X–Cu(BDC) (X = Ce, Zn, Gd, Sm, La, Y, Pr) catalysts followed the order X = Ce > Sm > Y > La > Pr > Cu(BDC) > Zn > Gd. The highest activities of Ce and Sm containing catalysts were attributed to the presence of CeO₂ and Sm₂O₃ caused the oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface which had positive effects on the methanol reforming process. The time-on-stream stability tests showed the highest resistance of the Cu/Ce–Cu(BDC) catalyst to the carbon formation during 32 h. Consequently, the Cu/Ce–Cu(BDC) with the highest stability, methanol conversion and carbon monoxide selectivity could be used in practical industrial applications.     

Simulation studies on a rotating ring disk electrode: Effects of ionic migration with kinetic complication-disk results

In continuation to my previous work (Guha S. AIChE J. 2013;59(4):1390-1399), in this work, effects of ionic migration are evaluated for disk region of a rotating ring disk electrode system by numerically solving complex differential equations, developed for mass transfer along with kinetic complication in presence of ionic migration under limiting current condition. The system for simulation is 0.01 M Fe₂(SO₄)₃ solution with H₂SO₄ as supporting electrolyte. Simulation cases are presence and absence of ionic migration with kinetic complication (oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ under O₂ pressure). Results show that concentration boundary layer thickness of reactant Fe³⁺ reduces appreciably and steady-state disk current reduces substantially in presence of migration. Simulated steady-state disk current in absence of migration case agrees well with published data. Results indicate higher Fe²⁺ concentration in presence of migration and thereby higher rate of oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ at all rate constant values.     

Capped inhibitor-loaded halloysite nanoclay-based self-healing silica coatings for corrosion protection of mild steel

The effect of polymeric nanocapsule capping in benzotriazole encapsulated into halloysite nanoclay (HNTs) dispersed into hybrid silica coatings was investigated for corrosion protection of mild steel. Optimization of the amount of inhibitor-loaded halloysite nanotubes with and without capping in the coating sol was carried out. The prepared formulations were dip-coated on mild steel substrates using dip-coater and then cured at 130 °C for 1 h. Surface morphology and elemental analysis of the nanoclay were studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analyses were carried out to confirm the encapsulation and capping of the halloysite nanoclay. The anti-corrosion and autonomic-healing properties of bare and coated substrates in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization measurements and scanning vibrating electrode technique for varying exposure times. The coatings generated from the capped inhibitor-loaded HNTs dispersed sol-gel matrix was seen to provide higher corrosion resistance when compared to uncapped HNT based silica coatings. Electrochemical studies carried out for capped inhibitor-loaded HNT based coatings have shown an increase in charge transfer resistance to 10⁸ Ω cm² from 10⁶ Ω cm² of uncapped inhibitor-loaded HNT based coatings.
