Processing and properties of 2D SiC/SiC composites by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis

Two-dimensional plain-weave silicon carbide fiber fabric reinforced silicon carbide (2D-SiC/SiC) composites were molded by stacking method and densified through precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. SiC coating was deposited as the fiber/matrix interphase layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Fiber/matrix debonding and relatively long fiber pullouts were observed on the fracture surfaces. Additionally, the flexural strength and elastic modulus of the composites with and without fiber/matrix interphase layer were investigated using three-point bending test and single-edge notched beam test. The results show that the fiber fraction and the porosity of 2D-SiC/SiC composites with and without coating are 27.2% (volume fraction) and 11.1%, and 40.7% (volume fraction) and 7.5%, respectively. And the flexural strength and elastic modulus of 2D-SiC/SiC composites with and without coating are 363.3 MPa and 127.8 GPa, and 180.2 MPa and 97.2 GPa, respectively. With a proper thickness, the coating can effectively adjust the fiber/matrix interface, thus causing a dramatic increase in the mechanical properties of the composites.

Geological factors associated with unsuccessful exploration wells in the northern margin of the Qaidam basin

We investigated the geological factors associated with unsuccessful exploration wells in the northern margin of the Qaidam basin to better understand their cause. The structural situation, the hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism and unsuccessful well data collected from 1996 to 2005 were studied. The results show that the main geological factors associated with unsuccessful exploration wells are a lack of effective source rocks and a lack of effective traps, as well as the migration-accumulation conditions that exist in this area. The basin was reformed by Meso-Cenozoic tectonic evolution. Multi-stage tectonic activities have both positive and negative effects on hydrocarbon accumulation. Source rocks distribution, effective migration channels, effective traps and the tectonic evolution effects on hydrocarbons should be the key objects for further studies.     

Aspects of surface and environment protection in German mining areas

Hard coal mining in the German Ruhr district has a tradition of more than 200 years. Starting in the south near the river Ruhr with mining of seams near to the surface, mining wandered to the north with coal seams deeper and deeper. In the same way all environmental effects of mining wandered from south to north, as there are abandoned mining sites, contaminated areas, burning mining dumps, subsided areas and gas accesses at day ground. This all happened in a very high populated area with more than four million inhabitants. Therefore Germany has a long tradition in solving environmental problems of mining activities. The very good interaction of mine authority, mining companies and the mine workers' union is the main reason why the problems of decreasing mining activities in Germany were solved without economic, environmental or social hazards.     

Explosion limits for combustible gases

Combustible gases in coal mines are composed of methane, hydrogen, some multi-carbon alkane gases and other gases. Based on a numerical calculation, the explosion limits of combustible gases were studied, showing that these limits are related to the concentrations of different components in the mixture. With an increase of C4H10 and C6H14, the Lower ExplosionLimit (LEL) and Upper Explosion-Limit (UEL) of a combustible gas mixture will decrease clearly. For every 0.1% increase in C4H10 and C6H14, the LEL decreases by about 0.19% and the UEL by about 0.3%. The results also prove that, by increasing the amount of H2, the UEL of a combustible gas mixture will increase considerably. If the level of H2 increases by 0.1%, the UEL will increase by about 0.3%. However, H2 has only a small effect on the LEL of the combustible gas mixture. Our study provides a theoretical foundation for judging the explosion risk of an explosive gas mixture in mines.     

On-line least squares support vector machine algorithm in gas prediction

Traditional coal mine safety prediction methods are off-line and do not have dynamic prediction functions. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a new machine learning algorithm that has excellent properties. The least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) algorithm is an improved algorithm of SVM. But the common LS-SVM algorithm, used directly in safety predictions, has some problems. We have first studied gas prediction problems and the basic theory of LS-SVM. Given these problems, we have investigated the affect of the time factor about safety prediction and present an on-line prediction algorithm, based on LS-SVM. Finally, given our observed data, we used the on-line algorithm to predict gas emissions and used other related algorithm to com- pare its performance. The simulation results have verified the validity of the new algorithm.     

Relationships between gas reservoir and the evolution of stope surrounding rock fracture at the process of mining the closed distance protection layer

Overburden rock movements and fracture developments occur during mining activities. Consequently, relief gas reservoirs and migration in coal seams being mined as well as in near distant coal seams appear. We considered a gas disaster management project and rules on stope relief of gas flows together and explored a gas reservoir and the evolution of stope surrounding rock fractures in the process of mining near distant protective layers by physical simulation, numerical simulation and field testing. Different techniques provide evidence of the rules of interaction of gas reservoirs and the evolution of surrounding rock fractures and are able to find accurately the gas-rich regions around the stope. Finally, we found that these rules can provide a basis for taking measures to prevent gas accidents in the protective layer of the coalface as well as for demonstrating and designing programs to drain high concentrations of gas from the gob.

凝析气藏注气过程中露点压力变化特征研究

在凝析气藏循环注气和注气吞吐解除近井带反凝析堵塞的注气过程中,凝析气流体的露点压力变化较大,而在目前的凝析气藏开发过程中,对凝析气露点压力变化考虑较少.作者利用Nemeth.L.K和Kennedy.H.T.的露点压力计算经验公式,研究了向凝析气中注入N2、甲烷、CO2和丙烷等介质的过程中露点压力变化规律,并分析了衰竭式开发和注气过程中凝析气井近井带露点压力变化特征.结果表明,注甲烷使露点压力有较小幅度的减小;注入CO2和丙烷均可使凝析气露点压力有较大幅度降低;而注入N2将使露点压力升高.在凝析气藏衰竭式开发过程中,当近井带压力下降至露点压力以下时,距井筒越近,凝析气中重质组分含量越低,露点压力也越低.在注气吞吐的焖井阶段,反蒸发作用会引起凝析气中重质组分增加,露点压力将升高.     

旋流板塔煤浆法烟气脱硫研究

煤浆法烟气脱硫是以煤浆洗涤含二氧化硫的烟气,二氧化硫溶于浆液形成亚硫酸,煤中黄铁矿与亚硫酸、氧气发生反应,亚硫酸被氧化为硫酸,从而实现烟气脱硫.反应过程中,煤中的黄铁矿硫也被转化为硫酸而浸出,反应产生的Fe3＋/Fe2＋又对脱硫反应起到了催化剂的作用.以旋流板塔为吸收设备,研究了煤浆法烟气脱硫过程中浆液温度、液气比、空塔气速及浆液固液比等操作参数对脱硫率的影响规律.试验表明,在其他条件不变的情况下,适当提高液气比、空塔气速及浆液固液比均有利于提高脱硫效果.随着烟气脱硫过程的进行,脱硫浆液中的总铁含量不断增加,说明煤中黄铁矿被不断浸出,故此法在脱除烟气中的二氧化硫的同时也降低了煤中黄铁矿硫含量.
