Characteristics of abrasive waterjet cut-edges and the affect on formability and fatigue performance of high strength steels

The characteristic surface properties and internal workpiece transformations formed during the Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) cutting process influences the formability and fatigue performance of steel cut-edges. This relatively established cutting technology is used in industry to generate specialist low production components, which may undergo continual loading cycles under operational service conditions. The fatigue performance of AWJ cut-edges can be critical since individual notch defects produced by the cutting process can act as initiation sites from where fatigue cracks can propagate. Due to the increased sensitivity of high strength structural steels to cut-edge fatigue, AWJ cut-edge defects have an ever more significant influence on fatigue performance. The relationship between the traverse cutting speed and the influence on the resulting properties of the cut-edge has been the critical area of investigation. The affects of traverse cutting speed on the surface roughness properties and cut-edge hardening through a process of plastic deformation of grains in the near edge region were observed to be influenced by the traverse cutting speed. It is these characteristic factors that were determined to influence the cut-edge ductility and fatigue performance of steel components. It is a combination of the AWJ properties that produces cut-edges, which are positive for the Hole Expansion Capacity (HEC) but negative for stress life and cyclic stress strain life fatigue performance of AWJ cut high strength steels.     

Spatial variability and possible sources of acetate and formate in the surface snow of East Antarctica

Spatial trends of acetate(Ac~-) and formate(Fo~-) were determined in surface snow samples along a coastal-inland transect(180 km) in the ice cap region at Princess Elizabeth Land and along a coastal transect in the Amery Ice Shelf(130 km),East Antarctica.Variations in both Ac-and Fo-seem to be unrelated to the acidity of snow.Ionic balance determined for the snow samples indicate the availability of HNO3 that could undergo photolysis to produce hydroxyl radical(UOH),one of the major reactants involved in oxidation reactions with organic matter.The strong positive correlations between Ac~- and NO~-_3 in snow from both regions indicate that NO~-_3 mediatedUOH-oxidation of organic compounds in snow could be an important source of Ac-within the snowpack.On the other hand,negative correlation between Fo~- and NO~-_3 might indicate that sources other thanUOH-oxidation of organic matter may be dominant in the case of Fo~-.Higher Ac~- concentrations in the ice cap compared to the ice shelf correspond with long-range transport of biomass burning emissions to the ice cap region.Interaction of Ac~- and Fo~- with alkaline minerals could lead to their stability in the snowpack and minimize their loss from the snow surface.Resident microbial communities could also influence the budget of the carboxylic acids in snow.

Spatial variability of organochlorine pesticides （DDTs and HCHs） in surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing, China

The spatial variability in the concentrations of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) in surface soils was studied on the basis of the analysis of 131 soil samples collected from the surface layer (0-20 cm depth) of the alluvial region of Beijing, China. The concentrations of total HCHs (including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-isomers) and total DDTs (i ncluding p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDE, and o,p'-DDT) in the surface soils tested were in the range from nondetectable to 31.72 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 0.91, and from nondetectable to 5910.83 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 32.13,respectively. It was observed that concentrations of HCHs in all soil samples and concentrations of DDTs in 112 soil samples were much lower than the first grade (50 μg/kg) permitted in "Environment quality standard for soils in China (GB15618-1995)". This suggests that the pollution due to organochlorine pesticides was generally not significant in the farmland soils in the Beijing alluvial region. In this study, the spatial distribution and trend of HCHs and DDTs were analyzed using Geostatistical Analyst and GS (513).Spatial distribution indicated how these pesticides had been applied in the past. Trend analysis showed that the concentrations of HCHs,DDTs, and their related metabolites followed an obvious distribution trend in the surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing.

A model and experimental study of phosphate uptake kinetics in algae: Considering surface adsorption and P-stress

Phosphorus is an important limiting nutrient in many ecosystems. Consequently, there is increasing interest on phosphate uptake and algal growth due to the increasing frequency and magnitude of algal blooms induced by eutrophication. The co-existence of surface adsorbed and intracellular phosphorus pools indicate that phosphate uptake by phytoplankton is, to some extent, a two-stage kinetic process. However, almost all previous uptake models considered the internal uptake stage only and ignored the possible impact of surface adsoption. In this article, a two-stage kinetic uptake model considering both surface adsorption and P-stress on phosphate uptake by algae was constructed and compared to conventional one-stage models, based on experimental data on short-term uptake kinetics of a green algae S. quadricauda. Results indicated that with suitable parameters, the two-stage uptake model not only fit the experimental data better, but also gave more reasonable and realistic explanations to the phosphate uptake process. The results are meaningful as surface-adsorption of phosphate may a ect the uptake process of phosphate and assist in understanding realistic phosphate uptake kinetics in phytoplankton.

Screening hydroxyapatite for cadmium and lead immobilization in aqueous solution and contaminated soil: The role of surface area

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been widely used to immobilize many cationic metals in water and soils. The specific reason why an increase in the surface area of HAP enhances cadmium (Cd) uptake, but has no effect on lead (Pb) uptake, is not clear. The aim of this study was to determine the factors causing the differences in sorption behavior between Cd and Pb by evaluating HAPs with different surface areas. We synthesized HAPs with two different surface areas, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption, and scanning electron microscopy, and then evaluated them as sorbents for Cd and Pb removal by testing in single and binary systems. The sorption capacity of large surface area HAP (1.85 mmol/g) for Cd in the single-metal system was higher than that of small surface area HAP (0.64 mmol/g), but there were no differences between single- and binary-metal solutions containing Pb. After the Cd experiments, the HAP retained a stable structure and intact morphology, which promotes the accessibility of reactive sites for Cd. However, a newly formed precipitate covered the surface and blocked the channels in the presence of Pb, which reduced the number of potential adsorption sites on HAP for Cd and Pb. Remediation experiments using Cd- and Pb-contaminated soil produced similar results to the solution tests. These results indicate that alterations of the structure and morphology during the reaction is an important factor influencing metal sorption to HAP.

Potential application of high pressure carbon dioxide in treated wastewater and water disinfection: Recent overview and further trends

Recently emerging disadvantages in conventional disinfection have heightened the need for finding a new solution. Developments in the use of high pressure carbon dioxide for food preservation and sterilization have led to a renewed interest in its applicability in wastewater treatment and water disinfection. Pressurized CO₂ is one of the most investigated methods of antibacterial treatment and has been used extensively for decades to inhibit pathogens in dried food and liquid products. This study reviews the literature concerning the utility of CO₂ as a disinfecting agent, and the pathogen inactivation mechanism of CO₂ treatment is evaluated based on all available research. In this paper, it will be argued that the successful application and high effectiveness of CO₂ treatment in liquid foods open a potential opportunity for its use in wastewater treatment and water disinfection. The findings from models with different operating conditions (pressure, temperature, microorganism, water content, media …) suggest that most microorganisms are successfully inhibited under CO₂ treatment. It will also be shown that the bacterial deaths under CO₂ treatment can be explained by many different mechanisms. Moreover, the findings in this study can help to address the recently emerging problems in water disinfection, such as disinfection by-products (resulting from chlorination or ozone treatment).
