Use of conditioning time to investigate the mechanisms of interactions of selected fatty acids on hematite Part II laboratory investigations

It is the aim of this paper to examine the effects of conditioning time on the flotation of hematite using three technical grade fatty acid reagents as providing additional evidence on their mechanism of interaction with the hematite surface. Various mechanisms have been postulated as occurring as conditioning time is increased. Both physical (e.g. conditioning time and power input) and chemical (nature, dispersion and solubility of the adsorbing species) contribute to the mechanisms of attachment of collector. In this paper, the mechanism of attachment of oleate to hematite can be readily explained by chemisorption, but the mechanism of attachment of lauric acid appears to be physical adsorption at neutral pH. The flotation of hematite with a mixture of tallow-type fatty acids (palmitic, stearic and oleic acids) is very sensitive to conditioning time, and suggests that, even though flotation is very effective at short conditioning times, it is very susceptible to the presence of fines and their associated high surface areas. It is therefore obvious that both the physical and chemical conditions contribute to the mechanisms of adsorption of fatty acids on iron-containing oxide minerals and must be understood in order to optimise the flotation of these minerals in an industrial situation.

人工气候老化后状态调节时间对芳纶纤维拉伸测试的影响

依据GJB 8496—2015标准中的拉伸方法,对人工气候老化前及老化后不进行状态调节、状态调节1 h、状态调节24 h、状态调节48 h、状态调节96 h后的芳纶纤维的拉伸强度进行测量、比较,从而得到结论:芳纶纤维在人工气候老化后,样品的性能有一定程度下降。在刚刚结束老化后立即进行测试,性能下降达到峰值,待状态调节24 h以后,其老化后性能逐步达到一个相对稳定的状态。建议在实际测试中,人工气候老化后的样品应该在老化结束后,放入恒温恒湿间调节24 h以后再测试。     

Dewatering of Sewage Sludge

Dewatering of sewage sludges is usually carried out using belt filter presses or centrifuges. The ability to remove water from sludges by mechanical dewatering is a property of both the sludge and the equipment used for dewatering. Newer high-solids centrifuges can remove more water than a belt press but require a higher chemical conditioning dose. The Gt value, the product of the mean velocity gradient and the shear time, has been found to be a useful parameter for characterizing the shear in mechanical dewatering equipment. Dewatering can be considered a two-step process, filtration followed by expression. The expression step is the most important of these and the benefits of various sludge processing techniques and conditioning chemical types remains a fruitful area of research.

Learning to make errors: evidence from a driving task simulation

Human errors represent a mismatch between the demands of an operational system and what the operator does. If they cannot be reversed, their consequences may be severe. Errors are frequently classified as design-or operator-induced. A third class of errors may also be identified, namely process-induced errors. Such errors arise out of on-going processes which typically extend over time. One such process is that of learning. In relation to the acquisition of skills, for example, learning frequently involves a trial-and-error component. Accidents by inexperienced drivers may represent a severe consequence of such errors. Errors may also arise out of particular learning experiences which provide a distorted underestimate of objective risk and/or motivate high risk behaviour. These phenomena are investigated in a computer simulation of the driving task. The relationship is discussed between various kinds of learning experience and the development of situations in which the possibility of error recovery declines. Some suggestions for reducing the frequency of irreversible errors and for increasing the data base for human error in vehicle driving are made.     

Moisture conditioning of wood using a continuous microwave dryer

Lower moisture content in wood, preferably 5–6%, is desirable for many chemical modification reactions. Economically, it is not feasible to dry timber to such low moisture content by conventional drying without drying degrades. Microwave heating was evaluated and found to be effective in reducing the moisture content of radiata pine from 13% to 6% in a microwave cycle of two minutes. The energy consumption is about 55 kWh/m³. Moisture distribution profiles demonstrate very uniform drying across the sample thickness. The findings suggest that microwave heating can potentially be applied to condition wood in a very short period of time.
