Preparation of CaO granules using the granulation method

ABSTRACT

Improving the hydration resistance of CaO particle in manufacturing and application of free CaO-containing materials has practical significance. In this study, CaO granules was made from Ca(OH)₂ particles, which were fabricated by the granulation method. The results showed that the hydration resistance of the CaO granules which was prepared under 1700?r?min^?1 was the best, the CaO granules was sintered well in calcination process, the shell of CaO granules was relatively dense, which improves the hydration resistance of CaO granules, and the rate of hydration weight increment was 0.58% after placed in the air for 20 days under a temperature of 10–14°C and a relative humidity of 57–81%.     

Study on the Height of the Mining-Induced Water-Conducting Fracture Zone Under the Q 2l Loess Cover of the Jurassic Coal Seam in Northern Shaanxi,China

A method to calculate the height of a water-conducting fractured zone (HWCFZ) was developed based on the plate and shell theory, and the development of the HWCFZ in bedrock and Q2l loess strata is discussed in detail. First, the subsidence-deflection curve equation of the overlying stratum is theoretically derived, and then the ultimate deflection and free space height of rock strata are calculated. Moreover, the strata tensile strain is calculated by using integral calculus. In addition, the failure state of the rock is analyzed by comparing the theoretically calculated tensile strain with the experimentally measured yield tensile strain, allowing one to attain the maximum value of HWCFZ. This approach was tested at the Jinjitan coal mine; the theoretically predicted, experimentally measured, and numerically computed maximum HWCFZ values were 189.5, 187.3, and 188.5 m, respectively, demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed method. These results are highly significant for safe and environment-friendly coal mining in northwest Shaanxi, China.

A quarter century of wine pigment discovery

The red grape berry pigments, anthocyanins, were characterized in the early 20th century, but investigations of wine pigments were stymied during that era. The question of their identity was a major challenge for wine chemists. A number of techniques showed that the pigments were polymeric in nature. Some structures were postulated by mid-century based on reactions between anthocyanins and condensed tannin, and later postulated wine pigments were observed in model reactions. Some related compounds were then observed in wine. By the end of the 20th century, the ionization of non-volatiles for mass spectrometry opened the door to these compounds. In addition, a new class of compounds was observed, the pyranoanthocyanins, a product of fermentation and aging metabolites with anthocyanins. These compounds possess the pigment stability to SO₂ and pH change that is characteristic of aged red wine. Aging experiments show a dynamic situation with shifts in the population of pigment classes over time. The very large number of diverse pigments explains why it has been so difficult to answer the century-old question of the structure of wine pigments. Our current understanding is founded on the use of mass spectral analysis using electrospray and related ionization techniques over the last 25 years. Future progress will rely on more sophisticated analysis of this very complex mixture of substances. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
