Enhanced Hardness of Transparent HAp Ceramic by Microstructure Refinement

Transparent hydroxyapatite(HAp) ceramics with the grain size ranging 86-1 300 nm were successfully synthesized by spark plasma sintering(SPS) at 925-1 200 ℃. All the sample achieved final density higher than 99.7%. The phase stability was identified by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The experimental results indicate that there is no decomposition or dehydroxylation during the SPS processes. The influences of microstructure refinement on the hardness were investigated using HallPetch(H-P) relationship, and the hardness of transparent HAp ceramic increases with the decrease of grain size. It is demonstrated that the grain boundaries and defects play important roles on the hardness.     

燃气／蒸汽联合循环发电装置动向

燃气/燃汽联合循环发电在一些发达国家竞相发展。所谓联合循环发电装置,就是把燃气轮机发电装置和蒸汽轮机发电装置结合起来,利用发电作功后的燃气轮机高温排气加热蒸汽循环的给水,产生蒸汽循环所需要的高温蒸汽,供汽轮机作功发电.也可以直接在增压燃气锅炉里产生燃气推动燃气轮机发电,同时产生高温蒸汽进入蒸汽轮机发电.这种联合循环发电装更,可使然气轮机高温排气得到充分利用。联合循环配合得好,发电效率可比当今先进的超临界蒸汽循环机组的42％高出13个百分点。这对降低发电一次能源消耗具有极大的经济意义。而且联合循环还有调峰、环保等诸多社会效益,联合据环将成为电能生产新潮流,这是理所当然的。 我国改革开放近十年来,经济高速发展,一些地区的电力供需矛盾十分紧张,促使燃气轮机发电装置有了发展.但鉴于现行燃料政策,限制用石油、天然气发电,大容量燃气轮机制造尚未展开,我国联合循环还处于引进消化的起步阶段。

Evaluation of Morphology—Stable Critical Size of KNbO3 Crystals

Skeletal form of KnbO3 crystals growing in Li2B4O7 solvent was in-situ observed at 900℃ and it was found that shallow depression started to develop on the surface of KnbO3 crystals when the crystal size exceeded several micron,typically 7 micron.Based on the quantitative criterion derived by Chernov,the estimated critical size of KNbO3 crystals was 1 micron,which was consistent with the experimental measurement.The kinetic coefficients,Kcorner and Kcr,in the criterion were experimentally obtained in the diffusive-convective and diffusive-advective flow states respectively.

Fabrication and performance evaluation of novel transparent ceramics RE:Tb3Ga5O12(RE=Pr,Tm,Dy)toward magneto-optical application

Transparent ceramics are at the heart of modern magneto-optical materials providing promising opportunities for Faraday isolators.1.0 at%RE:Tb3Ga5O12(rare earth(RE)=Pr,Tm,Dy)transparent ceramics were successfully prepared by air sintering and sequential HIP technique using the coprecipitated powders as the raw material.All the powders have shown to be a pure cubic terbium gallium garnet(TGG)phase and exhibit good dispersion.Additionally,a change could not be observed in particle shape with the different doped ions.After the two-step sintering,all the obtained ceramics have good optical quality,and the in-line transmittances at 1070 nm are higher than 80%.Moreover,no secondary phase can be detected from the microstructures.However,the pores which remain entrapped in the ceramics can be noted.The Verdet constant of ceramic samples is optimized by RE doping,and the Verdet constant at 632.8 nm is about?143 rad·T^?1·m^?1,which is about 5%higher than that of TGG ceramics.Finally,the thermo-optical properties of 1.0 at%RE:TGG transparent ceramics are compared.The annealed TGG ceramic showed the best thermo-optical properties,and the thermally induced depolarization of 1.0 at%Ce:TGG and 1.0 at%Tm:TGG was inferior to that of annealed TGG ceramic.     

Energy and economic analysis of a hydrogen and ammonia co-generation system based on double chemical looping

In this work, a model of hydrogen production by double chemical looping is introduced. The efficiency benefit obtained was investigated. The chemical looping hydrogen generation unit is connected in series to the downstream of a chemical looping gasification unit as an additional system for 100 MW·h coal gasification, with the function of supplementary combustion to produce hydrogen. Using Aspen Plus software for process simulation, the production of H_2 and N_2 in the series system is higher than that in the independent Chemical looping gasification and Chemical looping hydrogen generation systems, and the production of hydrogen is approximately 25.63% and 12.90% higher, respectively; The study found that when the gasification temperature is 900 °C, steam-carbon ratio is 0.84 and oxygen-carbon ratio is 1.5,the hydrogen production rate of the system was the maximum. At the same time, through heat exchange between logistics, high-pressure steam at 8.010×10~4 kg·h~(-1) and medium-pressure steam at 1.101×10~4 kg·h~(-1) are generated, and utility consumption is reduced by 61.58%, with utility costs decreasing by 48.69%. An economic estimation study found that the production cost of ammonia is 108.66 USD·(t NH_3)~(-1). Finally, cost of equipment is the main factors influencing ammonia production cost were proposed by sensitivity analysis.     

The dynamic evolution of aggregated lithium dendrites in lithium metal batteries

Lithium (Li) metal anodes promise an ultrahigh theoretical energy density and low redox potential,thus being the critical energy material for next-generation batteries.Unfortunately,the formation of Li den-drites in Li metal anodes remarkably hinders the practical applications of Li metal anodes.Herein,the dynamic evolution of discrete Li dendrites and aggregated Li dendrites with increasing current densities is visualized by in-situ optical microscopy in conjunction with ex-situ scanning electron microscopy.As revealed by the phase field simulations,the formation of aggregated Li dendrites under high current den-sity is attributed to the locally concentrated electric field rather than the depletion of Li ions.More specif-ically,the locally concentrated electric field stems from the spatial inhomogeneity on the Li metal surface and will be further enhanced with increasing current densities.Adjusting the above two factors with the help of the constructed phase field model is able to regulate the electrodeposited morphology from aggregated Li dendrites to discrete Li dendrites,and ultimately columnar Li morphology.The methodol-ogy and mechanistic understanding established herein give a significant step toward the practical appli-cations of Li metal anodes.
