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.

胡萝卜丁中维生素C在热风辅助射频干燥过程中降解的动力学模型

目的研究热风辅助射频(hot air-assisted radio frequency,HA-RF)干燥过程中维生素C随温度变化的降解动力学模型。方法在6.5 cm极板间距和60℃热风系统条件下进行HA-RF干燥,重点研究胡萝卜丁中维生素C在干燥过程中的降解动力学,包括脱氢抗坏血酸(dehydroascorbic acid,DHAA)和抗坏血酸(ascorbic acid,AA)。总维生素C含量采用2,4-硝基苯肼分光光度法测定,AA采用2,6-二氯吲哚酚滴定法测定。结果HA-RF干燥过程中维生素C的降解规律符合一级可逆模型,其降解活化能为40.54 kJ/mol。DHAA活化能为35.83 kJ/mol,表明DHAA的稳定性低于AA。结论本研究使用的干燥温度为62.5~77.5℃,较高的干燥温度下维生素C降解速率较高,较低处理温度下的降解过程具有更好的模型适应度(R2>0.98)。     

水泥窑余热发电系统用耐磨材料的研制与应用

本研究针对水泥窑余热发电系统的工作条件,根据耐磨材料的损毁机理,采用高铝矾土、煅烧氧化铝粉、黏土、硅微粉等为原料,以磷酸二氢铝为结合剂,以铝酸钙水泥为促硬剂,通过添加掩蔽剂和优化配料工艺,制备了水泥窑余热发电系统用耐磨材料,并对不同处理温度对耐磨材料的性能影响进行了分析。结果表明增强骨料与基质的结合能力有利于耐磨性的提高,磷酸及磷酸盐与氧化铝之间会随着温度的升高生成不同的磷酸铝相,都能够起到结合作用,比采用水泥结合更有利于提高材料在不同温度下的强度和耐磨性。使用结果表明,制备的耐磨材料施工性能优良,凝结硬化时间适当,强度高,抗冲刷性能好,在水泥窑余热发电系统中取得了良好的使用效果。
