Microstructural,hydraulic conductivity and geochemical changes of drying mature fine oil sand tailings in column experiments

This study offers new insights into two-lift deposition of mature fine tailings under atmospheric drying. The interaction of newly added lift and former lift(s) was evaluated using column experiments in terms of volumetric water content, electrical conductivity (EC), hydraulic conductivity, geochemistry and microstructure. Water content and EC followed the same trend and decreasing of water content appears to be responsible for significant reduction in EC. Evaporation on top of the column reduced the water content to almost zero. The obtained results support the coupling between the hydraulic and chemical processes that should be considered by active operators.

南美白对虾进食前后发声信号特点分析

为了探索南美白对虾进食前后发声信号特点和规律,首先进行了养殖虾塘环境下的实验,利用水听器与采集器采集信号;然后利用Matlab软件对信号进行频谱分析和时频分析,得到南美白对虾的发声信号规律。实验证明,在淡水养殖环境下,南美白对虾产生的声信号具有一定的规律,一般情况单个脉冲信号时长为0.005 s,主峰频率在2～10 kHz之间,投饵后主峰频率有所扩大,约在5～15 kHz之间。投饵后南美白对虾随着咀嚼活动的展开产生的信号增多,并且时频域特征明显与投饵前不同。该实验结果为利用南美白对虾产生的信号来控制投饵机实现按需投饵提供了可能。

Effect of geomembrane hole geometry on leakage overlain by saturated tailings

Experiments are conducted to quantify leakage through holes in a geomembrane (GMB) overlain by tailings with 30% fines and underlain by a well-graded gravel. Analytical and empirical equations for predicting leakage through a circular hole are used to analyze the data. Test results show that changing the hole shape from circular to noncircular increases the leakage. Leakage through 2000 mm² triangular, diamond, and square holes are all 15% higher than the 2000 mm² circular hole. An increase by up to 33% is observed for a rectangular hole. The analytical equations for predicting leakage and head loss through a hole given by the modified Rowe-Booker equation are experimentally verified. The spatial distribution of fines content within about five diameters of the hole is shown to have a notable impact on leakage. Up to a 100% increase in leakage is detected due to 3% reduction in the fines content around the hole. For homogeneous tailings, the ratio of head loss within the hole and above the hole to total head loss are independent of consolidation stress and water head and primarily depend on the hole geometry (i.e., shape and size). Finally, the combined effect of tailings thickness and water head on leakage is discussed.     

Thermo-economic investigation on the hydrogen production through the stored solar energy in a salinity gradient solar pond: A comparative study by employing APC and ORC with zeotropic mixture

In this paper, a salinity gradient solar pond (SGSP) is used to harness the solar energy for hydrogen production through two cycles. The first cycle includes an absorption power cycle (APC), a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) unit; in the second one, an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with the zeotropic mixture is used instead of APC. The cycles are analyzed through the thermoeconomic vantage point to discover the effect of key decision variables on the cycles’ performance. Finally, NSGA-II is used to optimize both cycles. The results indicate that employing ORC with zeotropic mixture leads to a better performance in comparison to utilizing APC. For the base mode, unit cost product (UCP), exergy, and energy efficiency when APC is employed are 59.9 $/GJ, 23.73%, and 3.84%, respectively. These amounts are 47.27 $/GJ, 29.48%, and 5.86% if ORC with the zeotropic mixture is utilized. The APC and ORC generators have the highest exergy destruction rate which is equal to 6.18 and 10.91 kW. In both cycles, the highest investment cost is related to the turbine and is 0.8275 $/h and 0.976 $/h for the first and second cycles, respectively. In the optimum state the energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, UCP, and H₂ production rate of the system enhances 42.44%, 27.54%,15.95%, and 38.24% when ORC with the zeotropic mixture is used. The maximum H₂ production is 0.47 kg/h, and is obtained when the mass fraction of R142b, LCZ temperature, pumps pressure ratio, generator bubble point temperature are 0.603, 364.35 K, 2.12, 337.67 K, respectively.

基于模糊多元联系度模型的尾矿库综合安全评价

为准确评价尾矿库的安全等级，以黄金洞尾矿库为例，分析影响尾矿库安全的各因素之间的关系，综合运用模糊多元联系度理论与层次分析法（AHP），建立了包含5个影响因素和26个影响因子的尾矿库综合安全评价模型。由AHP得出各项主、客观指标的权重系数，引入模糊多元联系度理论，综合考虑确定性与不确定性因素，处理综合集成问题，构造隶属函数量化指标的实测值。结果表明：黄金洞尾矿库安全等级为Ⅱ级，尾矿库处于较稳定状态。经比较不确定性因素大小，得出尾矿排放（B₃）>尾矿坝（B₂）>安全管理（B₁）>尾矿输送与回水（B₅）>排洪系统（B₄），说明尾矿排放指标的不确定性因素最大，需对尾矿排放加强管理。该模型得到的评价结果与实际结果相吻合，为尾矿库安全性评价提供了一种可行的方法。
