Revealing cracking and breakage behaviours of gibbsite particles

Mitigating gibbsite particle cracking and breakage during industrial alumina production can increase the quality of smelter grade alumina product by reducing the ultrafine particle content. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the particle cracking during static calcination and the breakage of calcined gibbsite particles under external force. In this work, we investigated the impact of the calcination ramping rate and the crystallite size on gibbsite particle cracking during static calcination. A slow ramping rate and a large pristine crystallite size tend to increase particle cracking. Apart from the study of particle cracking behaviour, we also investigated the breakage of calcined gibbsite particle under external force. Cracks on the particle surface can initiate breakage within the crystallite and along the grain boundary under external force. The breakage within crystallite occurs as the cleavage of the crystallite, while the breakage along the grain boundary leads to the shedding of a whole crystallite. We further explored the factors influencing the strength of calcined gibbsite particles. With increasing calcination temperature, the strength of particle increases when gibbsite converts to boehmite, and then decreases when boehmite converts into amorphous alumina. Particles containing smaller crystallites and calcined with fast ramping rates exhibit higher resistance to breakage.     

供水管网DMA优化分区设计方案

实施独立计量分区(district metered area,DMA)是辅助供水管网管理和漏损识别的重要手段.图划分算法是进行DMA分区的方法之一,常规图划分算法应用中,存在解空间受限、分区后原水流状态易发生较大改变、形成较多串联分区(对流量计算不利)的缺点.在常规图划分算法基础上进行了改进:粗化阶段按照特定规则匹配、合并非输水干管两端的节点,形成简化的管网拓扑结构;分区阶段得到管网初步分区方案;细化阶段提出基于贪心算法、枚举算法、蒙特卡洛算法的分区调整方法,结合改进的仪表安置方法、水力模拟、优劣解距离法(technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution,TOPSIS),对分区方案进行调整.将该方法应用于YX市供水管网,成功进行了分区.     

Nacre-Inspired,Liquid Metal-Based Ultrasensitive Electronic Skin by Spatially Regulated Cracking Strategy

The realization of liquid metal-based wearable systems will be a milestone toward high-performance, integrated electronic skin. However, despite the revolutionary progress achieved in many other components of electronic skin, liquid metal-based flexible sensors still suffer from poor sensitivity due to the insufficient resistance change of liquid metal to deformation. Herein, a nacre-inspired architecture composed of a biphasic pattern (liquid metal with Cr/Cu underlayer) as “bricks” and strain-sensitive Ag film as “mortar” is developed, which breaks the long-standing sensitivity bottleneck of liquid metal-based electronic skin. With 2 orders of magnitude of sensitivity amplification while maintaining wide (>85%) working range, for the first time, liquid metal-based strain sensors rival the state-of-art counterparts. This liquid metal composite features spatially regulated cracking behavior. On the one hand, hard Cr cells locally modulate the strain distribution, which avoids premature cut-through cracks and prolongs the defect propagation in the adjacent Ag film. On the other hand, the separated liquid metal cells prevent unfavorable continuous liquid-metal paths and create crack-free regions during strain. Demonstrated in diverse scenarios, the proposed design concept may spark more applications of ultrasensitive liquid metal-based electronic skins, and reveals a pathway for sensor development via crack engineering.

Synthesis of nanopowders with low agglomeration by elaborating Φ values for producing Gd2O3-MgO nanocomposites with extremely fine grain sizes and high mid-infrared transparency

Refining ceramic microstructures to the nanometric range to minimize light scattering provides an interesting methodology for developing novel optical ceramic materials. In this work, we reported the fabrication and properties of a new nanocomposite optical ceramic of Gd₂O₃-MgO. The citric acid sol-gel combustion method was adopted to fabricate Gd₂O₃-MgO nanocomposites with fine-grain sizes, dense microstructures and homogeneous phase domains. Nanopowders with low agglomeration and improved sinterability can be obtained by elaborating Φ values. Further refining of the microstructure of the nanocomposites was achieved by elaborating the hot-pressing conditions. The sample sintered at 65 MPa and 1300 °C showed a quite high hardness value of 14.3 ± 0.2 GPa, a high transmittance of 80.3 %–84.7 % over the 3?6 μm wavelength range, due mainly to its extremely fine-grain size of Gd₂O₃ and MgO (93 and 78 nm, respectively) and high density.     

床温及SNCR脱硝对CFB锅炉NOx和N2O排放影响的试验研究

为了研究循环流化床（CFB）锅炉燃用无烟煤时床温及选择性非催化还原（SNCR）脱硝对于NO和N2O排放的影响，在1 MW CFB试验装置上开展了试验研究。结果表明:床温由880 ℃提高到970 ℃，NO排放质量浓度由119.5 mg/m3上升到226.0 mg/m3，N2O排放质量浓度由216.0 mg/m3降低到102.2 mg/m3；在氨氮摩尔比（NSR）为0~3.7之间，随着NSR的提高，脱硝效率从0上升到50.72%；进一步提高NSR到5.2，脱硝效率升至53.61%，增加较为缓慢；随着NSR从0提高到1.7，N2O排放质量浓度由84.3 mg/m3上升至118.3 mg/m3，增长较为缓慢；进一步提高NSR至2.0，N2O排放质量浓度上升至187.7 mg/m3，增长速度提高；继续提高NSR至5.2，N2O排放质量浓度上升至381.4 mg/m3；CFB锅炉采用以尿素为还原剂的SNCR脱硝工艺时，单纯通过加大NSR来提高脱硝效率不仅效果有限，过量喷入的还原剂会造成N2O排放量的显著提高。
