Separation of hematite from banded hematite jasper (BHJ) by magnetic coating

The separation of iron oxide from banded hematite jasper(BHJ) assaying 47.8% Fe, 25.6% Si O2 and 2.30%Al2O3 using selective magnetic coating was studied. Characterization studies of the low grade ore indicate that besides hematite and goethite,jasper, a microcrystalline form of quartzite, is the major impurity associated with this ore. Beneficiation by conventional magnetic separation technique could yield a magnetic concentrate containing 60.8% Fe with 51% Fe recovery. In order to enhance the recovery of the iron oxide minerals, fine magnetite, colloidal magnetite and oleate colloidal magnetite were used as the coating material. When subjected to magnetic separation, the coated ore produces an iron concentrate containing 60.2% Fe with an enhanced recovery of56%. The AFM studies indicate that the coagulation of hematite particles with the oleate colloidal magnetite facilitates the higher recovery of iron particles from the low grade BHJ iron ore under appropriate conditions.     

Strain rate dependency and fragmentation pattern of expanding warheads

For the characterization of the behaviors of a metal material in events like expanding warheads, it is necessary to know its strength and ductility at high strain rates, around 104e105/s. The flyer plate impact testing produces the uniform stress and strain rates but the testing is expensive. The Taylor test is relatively inexpensive but produces non-uniform stress and strain fields, and the results are not so easily inferred for material modeling. In the split-Hopkinson bar(SHB), which may be used in compression, tension and torsion testing, the strain rates never exceeds 103/s. In the present work, we use the expanding ring test where the strain rate is 104e105/s. A streak camera is used to examine the expanding ring velocity, and a water tank is used to collect the fragments. The experimental results are compared with the numerical simulations using the hydrocodes AUTODYN, IMPETUS Afea and a regularized smooth particle(RSPH) software. The number of fragments increases with the increase in the expansion velocity of the rings. The number of fragments is similar to the experimental results. The RSPH software shows much the same results as the AUTODYN where the Lagrangian solver is used for the ring. The IMPETUS Afea solver shows a somewhat different fragmentation characteristic due to the node splitting algorithm that induces pronounced tensile splitting.     

Formation of Arrayed Droplets by Soft Lithography and Two-Phase Fluid Flow, and Application in Protein Crystallization

This paper presents an overview of our recent work on the use of soft lithography and two-phase fluid flow to form arrays of droplets. The crucial issues in the formation of stable arrays of droplets and alternating droplets of two sets of aqueous solutions include the geometry of the microchannels, the capillary number, and the water fraction of the system. Glass capillaries could be coupled to the PDMS microchannels and droplets could be transferred into glass capillaries for long-term storage. The arrays of droplets have been applied to screen the conditions for protein crystallization with microbatch and vapor diffusion techniques.     

High Temperature Property Development of Bauxite Based Bricks

Physical properties and microstructural evolution on firing of 3 types of bauxite based refractory bricks were carried out using techniques such as porosimetry,XRD and SEM.The groups differed from each other by progressive refining of the matrix or bond phase.It is revealed that such a refinement of the matrix can improve the high temperature properties of the bricks made from poor grade materials.     

Charge： Glowing in the Dark

Many areas of structure analysis have focused on finding the locations of the atoms. If, instead of the atoms, we knew the positions of the electrons we would in fact know much more, and in most respects knowing where the nuclei are is not important. There is a long history of measurements using precise electron diffraction or X-ray diffraction of the average charge density in materials, but extending beyond to local charge density is, as yet, an unexplored area.

转子绕组匝间短路时汽轮发电机定子绕组并联交路的环流

转子绕组匝间短路时,会出现转子主磁场磁感应强度的偶次谐波,因而要产生较高频率的感应电势。文献的作者曾建议,利用这些较高频率的电势谐波来作为匝间短路的诊断特征。后来的进一步分析表明,定子绕组并联支路中的偶次谐波环流是一个更为有实质性意义的诊断标志。为此发表了一系列计算与论证文章。然而值得指出的是,关于环境问题的论证研究并不透彻。发     

天然气稳定碳同位素反应动力学研究――关于干燥、开放热解实验中的思考

在开放、变温热解实验中,对三个碳酸盐岩样品进行了在线特定化合物C/~(12) 稳定同位素分析,其中三个样品分别取自德国西北(石炭系Westphalian煤岩,I_H=286 mgHC/gTOC,R_o=0.72％)、西西伯利亚(白垩系Cenomanian页岩,I_H=192mgHC/gTOC,R_o=0.36％)和马来西亚(三叠系Miocene煤岩,I_H=190mgHC/gTOC,R_o=0.36％)。主要研究对象为甲烷、乙烷和丙烷+丙烯,测得的热解产物碳同位素值分布在热成因天然气范围内(―20‰～―40‰)。热解产物表现出随着热模拟温度升高,一般富集~(13)C,然而,甲烷碳同位素在某些温度段表现出倒转现象。在实验数据分析基础上,利用平行一级反应和Arrhenius温度方程得出反应动力学参数,将Westphalian煤岩得到的动力学参数应用到地热演化史中建立德国西北盆地气藏中天然气生成与聚集过程中组份和同位素组成变化模型。热模拟甲烷计算获得的碳同位素值表现出与德国西北天然气田的碳同位素特征一致。同位素反应动力学结合区域热演化史能有效地解释在天然气聚集过程中同位素组成变化特征。研究结果表明,虽然热解实验与地...
