Rheological studies on a slurry biofuel to aid in evaluating its suitability as a fuel

Biomass is an often abundant, renewable, low ash and low sulfur fuel. Due to these properties, biofuels are promising alternatives for traditional petroleum-based fuel applications; however, traditional biofuels for internal combustion engines are not cost competitive with gasoline, diesel or fuel oils. One method to reduce the cost of biofuels is to use slurry fuels which have a potential lower cost than liquid biofuels due to high conversion efficiencies. Slurry biofuels, such as a mixture of corn and water, could provide a biofuel alternative for diesel engines, pressurized gasifiers and heating oil applications such as burners or gas turbines. Use of these biomass slurries poses important questions about their stability and suitability for practical applications in internal combustion engines and combustors.This work reports rheology data for stable corn-starch water slurries (CSWS) which used a polyacrylic acid thickener to eliminate settling of the slurry and to provide desirable shear-thinning behavior for most of the compositions evaluated. The effect of shear rate on the viscosity of the CSWS was studied using a BOHLIN-controlled stress (CS) rheometer. The well-known Ostwald—de Waele power law and Sisko models for viscosity fit the data. The effect of corn starch content, thickener content and temperature on the viscosity of CSWS was also studied. The favorable shear thinning properties were observed for starch contents up to 45% starch and should aid pumping, injection and spraying. The lower heating values of the slurries, however, are undesirably low.     

Strong dependence on pressure of the performance of a Co/SiO2 catalyst in Fischer–Tropsch slurry reactor synthesis

A 10 wt% Co/SiO₂ catalyst was prepared by the incipient wet-impregnation method and tested in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis in a slurry reactor under conditions approaching industrial practice. The catalyst precursor was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XPS and XRD techniques revealed the presence of a crystalline Co₃O₄ spinel-type phase, while-in addition-TEM and XPS analyses pointed to the formation of another amorphous Co₃O₄ spinel phase, both species interacting weakly with the silica substrate. The influence of total pressure on the conversion, selectivity and stability of the catalyst was studied. Upon increasing the overall pressure from 20 to 40 bar, not only activity increased but also the catalyst are not deactivating. These results are explained in terms of an increase of gases solubility in the solvent, this increment of CO concentration in the liquid phase favours carbonyl species formation and the cobalt particles segregation that implies an increase in the metal surface area.     

Analysis of pentasodium triphosphate hydration kinetics

The present work analyzes the effect of various factors on the hydration of pentasodium triphosphate. The experimental method is based on application of the hydration test. Technical-quality products with different proportions of phase I and phase II have been used. The variables studied are phase I/phase II ratio, initial temperature, particle size, stirring rate and composition of the slurry (presence of hexahydrate crystals and water hardness). The results have been discussed according to a kinetics model that includes a series of stages of a physical nature (dissolution of anhydrous salt and the crystallization of the hexahydrate), as well as of a chemical nature (solvation of the ions in solution). Crystallization of the hexahydrate may be the controlling stage in the process.     

三种骨灰瓷原料的制备与晶相结构

Potassium sorbate solutions as copper chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) based slurries

Copper depassivation and repassivation characteristics in potassium sorbate solutions, subsequent to mechanical abrading are reported. The identification of copper repassivation kinetics obtained subsequent to mechanical damage of copper protective films formed in sorbate based solutions is discussed. The repassivation rate of copper in sorbate based solutions was measured by means of a slurryjet system capable of measuring single particle impingments on microelectrodes. Copper repassivation rates measured by this slurryjet system in sulfate solutions containing 10 g L⁻¹ potassium sorbate were found to be in the range of 0.5-1.5 ms. An increase in the potassium sorbate concentration leads to a decrease in copper repassivation time at potentials ranging from 200 to 600 mV_Ag/AgCl. The impingement angle between the copper surface and a single abrasive particle has no impact on copper repassivation time nor peak current (I_max) values. XPS studies revealed that copper passivation in potassium based solution was due to the formation of a thin film which is constituted of: Cu₂O, Cu(OH)₂ and Cu(II)-sorbate, while copper(II)-sorbate is mainly present at the top levels of the passive film. It is therefore recommended that the use of potassium sorbate as a passivating component in conjunction with the addition of strong oxidizing agents in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurry design should be considered.
