Effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena particles in lime system

ABSTRACT

In this research, the effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena in the lime system was studied. Coarse (?0.074 + 0.038 mm), intermediate (?0.038 + 0.025 mm) and fine (?0.025 mm) galena particles were used in the experiment. The dissolution tests, flotation tests, and sorption tests were accomplished. Through further analysis by XPS, the effect of particle size and lime was observed. The decrease of mineral particle sizes increased the adsorption ratio of collector and the dissolution of galena, while the hydrophilic product OH^?/Ca(OH)⁺ produced by dissolution occupied the dominant position, which led to the minerals hydrophilic.     

Propylene epoxidation in a microreactor with electric heating

Gas phase propylene epoxidation on gold catalysts has attracted wide attention from industry and academia due to its high selectivity. However, it suffers from low propylene conversion and rapid catalyst deactivation. Experiments showed that propylene conversion could be increased by raising H₂, O₂, or C₃H₆ concentration in the feed, but the feed compositions were within the explosion limit. It was also shown that the activity of the used catalyst could be fully recovered, but the regeneration temperature was 280 °C, much higher than that for reaction. Therefore a microchannel reactor was devised to suppress explosion and was constructed with Fecralloy, to raise the temperature rapidly for catalyst regeneration by electric heating. In two minutes the temperature of the reactor could be raised from 50 to 300 °C. Catalysts were coated on the alloy belt by dip coating, and the performance of the reactor was evaluated under different operating conditions. Results showed that in the microreactor the overall reaction rate was controlled mainly by the intrinsic reaction rate, and also influenced by film diffusion to a certain extent. The deactivated catalyst was regenerated in the microchannel reactor and the activity was fully recovered.     

Relationship of threshold diameter and Darcean permeability in unconsolidated porous structures

Experiment was conducted on the threshold pressure for atmospheric air through unconsolidated narrow size distributed mini sphere and sand particles at low flow rates. The threshold diameter calculated from measured threshold pressure showed that it does not follow the traditional similarity theory. This is consistent with our experiment on accurate permeability measurement, and can be explained as a result of gas slip flow within such micro pore structure. Our current work tend to find the method to predict the permeability-threshold pressure relationship for unconsolidated porous structures.     

Studies on membrane formation mechanism by the light transmission technique. I

New parameters, light transmission rate and minimum light transmissions, are proposed. These two parameters reflect the characteristics of the membrane‐forming system and the formation process of the membranes by phase inversion. The relationship between the light transmission and the porous structure of the membrane can be explained by the geometrical optics principles. Variation of the two parameters combining Reuvers's phase separation theory provided a convenient analytical method to predict effectively membrane morphologies. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reaction kinetics study of asymmetric polymer-polymer interface

In this study, the reaction kinetics of asymmetric polymer-polymer interface was experimentally and theoretically studied. A new rheological method correlating the change of rheological property of reactive system with the conversion of the in situ formed copolymers was applied to study the reaction kinetics of PBT/epoxy reactive system. Then, the new method was proved to be useful by comparing its results with that obtained from the conventional endgroup determination method. Moreover, the conversion of PBT/epoxy reactive system from rheological method could be well fitted by the numerical analysis, from which the kinetic constant and the diffusion constant of epoxy in PBT could be determined simultaneously.     

气体控制参数对气体辅助成型产品翘曲的影响

从气体辅助注射成型工艺的角度探讨了气体的延迟时间和第一段压力这两个关键的参数对槽的影响进而对产品翘曲变形的影响，结果表明：虽然通过使用气体辅助注射成型技术能改善产品变形，但并不能完全消除变形；造成产品变形的原因和机理十分复杂，只有进行从设计到工艺的全方位考察才能有效的控制变形，气体手指效应也是造成产品变形的一个重要因素，工艺上可以通过调整延迟时间和气体压力来减小产品的变形量。     

X-Ray, Micro-Raman, Optical Absorption/Emission Studies of ErNbO4 Grown by Vapor Transport Equilibration

Vapor transport equilibration (VTE) treatments were performed on a Y-cut bulk Er (1.6 mol%)-doped congruent LiNbO₃ crystal and an X-cut pure congruent crystal, on one surface of which a 40 nm-thick film of erbium metal was coated before the VTE treatment. Scanning electron microscope, powder or single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), polarized infrared absorption/emission of Er³⁺ as well as micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to study the two VTE crystals. The results are discussed in comparison with a corresponding as-grown bulk Er-doped crystal, calcined ErNbO₄ powder, and a locally Er-doped congruent LiNbO₃ crystal prepared by using the standard Er-diffusion technique. The experimental results show that the VTE treatment induces the formation of micrometer-sized ErNbO₄ precipitates with the crystallographic morphology of a flat polyhedron not only on the surfaces of both crystals but also in the bulk of the homogeneously Er-doped one. The optical absorption and emission studies show that the formation of the precipitates results in substantial spectral changes in both the 0.98 and 1.5 μm regions. The micro-Raman studies allow to resolve four additional Raman peaks around 800 cm⁻¹ in the E(TO) spectra of the two VTE crystals. These additional Raman peaks are associated with the characteristic vibrations with respect to the NbO₄³⁻ group. Characteristic XRD, optical absorption, and emission and Raman peaks for identifying the ErNbO₄ phase are proposed. Finally, the formation mechanism and light-scattering effect of the precipitates are discussed.

Morphologies-Controlled Synthesis and Optical Properties of Bismuth Tungstate Nanocrystals by a Low-Temperature Molten Salt Method

Well-crystallized bismuth tungstate (Bi₂WO₆) powders with different morphologies were successfully synthesized via a low-temperature molten salt method. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-Vis, respectively. It was found that the variation of morphology of the obtained Bi₂WO₆ powder mainly depends on the different reaction temperatures and the weight ratio of LiNO₃–NaNO₃ salt to precursor. In addition, the UV-Visible absorption spectra showed that the synthesized powders had strong light absorption properties not only in the ultraviolet light but also in the visible light region.
