Investigating the effects of liquid atomization and delivery parameters of minimum quantity lubrication on the grinding process of Al2O3 engineering ceramics

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to flood cooling. MQL spray jet has been shown to have potential to be applied successfully in different machining processes. Since the amount of lubricating liquid employed in MQL jet is very low, it is necessary to generate and apply the MQL spray efficiently. However, efficient application of MQL is not only related to spray atomization characteristics and delivery parameters but is also affected by machining conditions. The present paper demonstrates a theoretical and experimental investigation on the spray atomization and delivery parameters in the grinding process of Al₂O₃ engineering ceramics. The spray atomization characteristics studied are carrier gas velocity, liquid droplet size and liquid droplet velocity. Experiments were performed to verify the delivery parameters of MQL spray including nozzle angle, nozzle distance, lubricant flow rate and gas flow rate in the case of Al₂O₃ ceramics grinding. The experimental results confirm the theoretical outcomes and indicate that by applying optimal spray delivery parameters efficient lubrication takes place. Moreover, efficient lubrication of Al₂O₃ ceramics grinding can decrease the challenges existing in ceramics grinding processes by reducing grinding forces and surface roughness.     

Study of specific energy and friction coefficient in minimum quantity lubrication grinding using oil-based nanolubricants

An investigation on minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) grinding was carried out with the scope of documenting the process efficiency of oil-based nanolubricants. The nanolubricants were composed of MoS₂ nanoparticles (<100 nm) over coated with organic agents, dispersed in two different base oils—mineral oil (paraffin) and vegetable oil (soybean). Surface grinding tests were carried out on cast iron and EN 24 steel under different lubrication conditions—MQL using nanolubricants (varying compositional chemistry and concentration of nanoparticles), pure base oils (without nanoparticles) and base oils containing MoS₂ microparticles (3–5 μm), and flood grinding using water-based coolant. Specific energy, friction coefficient in grinding and G-ratio were used as measurands for determining the process efficiency. Results show that MQL grinding with nanolubricants increases the process efficiency by reducing energy consumption, frictional losses at the wheel–workpiece interface and tool wear. The process efficiency is also found to increase with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Soybean and paraffin based-nanolubricant performed best for steel and cast iron, respectively, showing a possible functional relationship between the compositional chemistry of nanolubricant and the workpiece material, which will be the goal of future work.     

不同方法制备Co3O4催化剂CO-SCR性能及机制

氮氧化物(NOx)是造成细颗粒物、近地面臭氧等大气污染问题的重要前体物.随着大气污染治理行动的深入,对工业锅炉/窑炉烟气排放的NOx进行控制十分重要.采用不同方法制备了一系列Co_3O_4催化剂,考察了不同制备方法对CO选择性催化还原NO(CO-SCR)反应活性的影响,通过BET、XRD、Raman、HR-TEM和SEM等技术对该系列催化剂进行了表征.活性测试表明,以硫酸钴为前驱体用固态研磨法制备的Co_3O_4-S催化剂具有更优异的CO-SCR反应活性,且表现出较好的抗水蒸气性能,以醋酸钴为前驱体用固态研磨法制备的Co_3O_4-C催化剂显示出较好的抗水性能. NO氧化结果显示,催化剂的NO氧化效果越好,CO-SCR活性也越好. Raman表征结果显示,Co_3O_4-S表面可能含有更多的Co2+离子,从而有利于形成氧空位. H2-TPR结果表明,Co_3O_4-S催化剂的氧化还原性较好. HR-TEM表征发现Co_3O_4-S和Co_3O_4-O主要暴露(111)和(220)晶面,而更多(220)晶面的暴露可能更有利于反应的进行.     

Accumulation and elimination of iron oxide nanomaterials in zebrafish (Danio rerio) upon chronic aqueous exposure

A 52-day continuous semi-static waterborne exposure (test media renewed daily) regimen was employed to investigate the accumulation and elimination profiles of two iron oxide nanomaterials (nano-Fe₂O₃ and nano-Fe₃O₄) in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Adult zebrafish were exposed to nanomaterial suspensions with initial concentrations of 4.0 and 10.0 mg/L for 28 days and then were moved to clean water for 24 days to perform the elimination experiment. Fe content was measured in fish body and feces to provide data on accumulation and elimination of the two iron oxide nanomaterials in zebrafish. The experiment revealed that: (1) high accumulation of nano-Fe₂O₃ and nano-Fe₃O₄ were found in zebrafish, with maximum Fe contents, respectively, of 1.32 and 1.25 mg/g for 4.0 mg/L treatment groups and 1.15 and 0.90 mg/g for 10.0 mg/L treatment groups; (2) accumulated nanoparticles in zebrafish can be eliminated efficiently (the decrease of body burden of Fe conforms to a first-order decay equation) when fish were moved to nanoparticle-free water, and the elimination rates ranged from 86% to 100% by 24 days post-exposure; and (3) according to analysis of Fe content in fish excrement in the elimination phase, iron oxide nanomaterials may be adsorbed via the gastrointestinal tract, and stored for more than 12 days.     

Aero-lap polishing of poly crystalline diamond inserts using Multicon media

Increasing use of poly crystalline diamond (PCD) inserts as cutting tools and wear parts is vividly seen in automobile, aerospace, marine and precision engineering applications. The PCD inserts undergo series of manufacturing processes such as: grinding that forms the required shape and polishing that gives a fine finish. These operations are not straight forward as PCD is extremely resistant to grinding and polishing. Single crystal diamond can easily be polished by choosing a direction of easy abrasion, but polishing a PCD imposes serious difficulties as the grains are randomly oriented. Prior research on polishing of PCD inserts includes electro discharge grinding (EDG), dynamic friction polishing and grinding by a vitrified bonded diamond wheel. The surface textures of PCD produced using an EDG process often contains: micro cavities, particle pullout, micro-grooves, chipped edges, cracks and gouch marks. While applying the dynamic friction polishing method the PCD material undergoes phase transformation and hence increased polishing rate was apparently seen. However the phase transformation of PCD deteriorates the strength of the insert. Furthermore the inserts produced using the dynamic polishing method often exhibits cracks, chip off and edge damage while using as a cutting tool. Therefore, a new method “aero-lap polishing” was attempted as it applies controlled amount of impinging force by which the surface damage can be significantly reduced. The study did establish an improvement of surface finish of PCD from R_a = 0.55 μm, R_t = 4.5 μm to R_a = 0.29 μm, R_t = 1.6 μm within 15–25 min of polishing time along with significant reduction in surface defects.

以氯苯为目标污染物,选择CuO/MnO_2作为耦合系统中的催化剂,采用介质阻挡放电(Dielectric Barrier Discharge,DBD)技术协同催化作为生物系统的预处理技术,开展废气净化的研究.实验结果发现,耦合生物滴滤塔(Biotrickling Filter,BTF)和单一生物滴滤塔系统分别在13 d和15 d内完成挂膜,氯苯的去除率分别达到100%和97%.稳定运行期,停留时间(EBRT)为90 s时,单一BTF在处理低进气浓度氯苯废气时,去除效果与耦合系统相当;进气浓度较大时,耦合系统的处理效果要明显优于单一BTF.EBRT缩短至45 s时,无论氯苯进气浓度高或低,耦合系统的处理效果均优于单一BTF.单一BTF的最大去除负荷(Eliminatory Capacity,ECmax)为41 g·m~(-3)·h~(-1),在同样实验条件下,耦合系统未达到最大去除负荷,而耦合系统和单一BTF对氯苯的矿化率分别为95%和86%.DBD协同催化能有效改善BTF对于高进气负荷氯苯废气的处理,预处理工艺能强化BTF对氯苯废气的彻底净化.通过对各功能单元对氯苯去除的贡献分析,发现DBD协同CuO/MnO_2工艺主要负责转化氯苯,BTF下段填料主要负责预处理工艺产生的中间产物的矿化,BTF上段填料主要负责剩余氯苯的去除及其矿化.     

Removal of nitric oxide from simulated flue gas via denitrification in a hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor

A hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor(HMBR) was studied for its ability to treat nitric oxide(NO) from simulated flue gas. The HMBR was operated for 9 months and showed a maximum elimination capacity of 702 mg NO/(m2·day) with a removal efciency of 86%(gas residence time of 30 sec, inlet NO concentration of 2680 mg/m3, pH 8). Varying operation parameters were tested to determine the stability and response of the HMBR. Both the inlet NO concentration and gas residence time influenced the removal of NO in the HMBR. NO elimination capacity increased with an increase in inlet NO concentration or a shortening of gas residence time. Higher removal efciency of NO was obtained at a longer gas residence time or a lower inlet NO concentration. Microbial communities of the HMBR were sensitive to the variation in pH value and alkalescence corresponding to an optimum pH value of 8. In addition, NO elimination capacity and removal efciency were inversely proportional to the inlet oxygen concentration. Sulfur dioxide had no great influence on elimination capacity and removal efciency of NO. Product analysis was performed to study N2O and N2 production and confirmed that the majority of the microorganisms were denitrifying bacteria in the HMBR. Compared to other bioreactors treating NO, this study showed that the denitrifying HMBR was a good option for the removal of NO.

Energy Partition and Cooling During Grinding

High temperatures in grinding can cause thermal damage to the workpiece. This paper presents an overview of quantitative methods to calculate grinding temperatures and the energy partition to the workpiece. It is shown that the energy partition, and consequently the grinding zone temperature, depends on the type of abrasives, fluid application conditions, and grinding process parameters. For regular grinding with conventional aluminum-oxide abrasive wheels, the energy partition typically ranges from 60% to 85%. However, for creep-feed grinding with slow work speeds and large depths of cut, cooling by the fluid at the grinding zone reduces the energy partition to less than 5%. For grinding with cubic boron nitride (CBN) superabrasive wheels, the energy partition is about 20% due to the high thermal conductivity of the CBN abrasive. However, this may be reduced from 8% to 5% for grinding with porous vitrified CBN wheels at high removal rates due to the combined effect of the high thermal conductivity of CBN abrasive and cooling by the fluid at the grinding zone.

漫反射光谱手工与机器制样方法测试结果与对比分析

矿物含量及其变化有可能蕴藏着环境信息。赤铁矿和针铁矿是常见的两种化合物,在各种类型的沉积物中基本都有分布。在古气候研究中,赤铁矿和针铁矿的含量变化可以用来指示气候的干湿变化。漫反射光谱方法(DRS)可以进行赤铁矿和针铁矿含量测算,具有灵敏度高、速度快、准确度高等特点。这种方法虽然很实用,但是对于样品量比较大的研究来说,其手工磨样速度比较慢,而用机器研磨则会大幅提高样品制备效率,但是机器研磨是否会对分析结果产生影响尚未有研究报道。本文对30个河流相和湖泊相样品进行了漫反射光谱对比分析实验,发现手工和机器磨样在磁性矿物浓度上的变化趋势基本一致,但是两者之间存在一定的差异。因此,如果研究目的是希望从整体变化趋势来反演气候变化的过程,用机器研磨方法可以达到要求且效率明显提高;如果是进行浓度含量等其它方面的研究,则传统的手工方法是优先选择。     

Controls on quartz silt formation by crystalline defects

Silt composed predominately of quartz occurs abundantly in the sedimentary material found in deposits worldwide. Its origin is still the subject of many debates, but one acknowledged source is due to glacial grinding. To examine this problem and test the apparent contradictory evidence in the literature, a series of experiments were performed. In these experiments, the Bromhead ring shear apparatus was used as it can simulate glacial grinding due to its uninterrupted shearing action; hence, it provides an effective reproduction of glacial grinding. Experiments conducted on unweathered sand-sized vein quartz produced little silt, while use of sand from a sedimentary deposit, Leighton Buzzard sand, produced plentiful silt. Experimental results suggest that there is an internal mineralogical control on the formation of quartz silt particles. It is argued that the processes involved in the formation of quartz introduce defects (Moss defects) into the low-quartz crystal structure, demonstrated by the presence of peaks in the particle size curve around 20 μm. This indicates that there is a lithological control for the silt yielded under weathering, and this could explain why a pronounced mode at around 20–60 μm is commonly observed in silts, such as loess.

Review of heterogeneous photochemical reactions of NOy on aerosol－A possible daytime source of nitrous acid (HONO) in the atmosphere

As an important precursor of hydroxyl radical, nitrous acid (HONO) plays a key role in the chemistry of the lower atmosphere. Recent atmospheric measurements and model calculations show strong enhancement for HONO formation during daytime, while they are inconsistent with the known sources in the atmosphere, suggesting that current models are lacking important sources for HONO. In this article, heterogeneous photochemical reactions of nitric acid/nitrate anion and nitrogen oxide on various aerosols were reviewed and their potential contribution to HONO formation was also discussed. It is demonstrated that HONO can be formed by photochemical reaction on surfaces with deposited HNO3 , by photocatalytic reaction of NO2 on TiO2 or TiO2 -containing materials, and by photochemical reaction of NO2 on soot, humic acids or other photosensitized organic surfaces. Although significant uncertainties still exist in the exact mechanisms and the yield of HONO, these additional sources might explain daytime observations in the atmosphere.

麻黄碱在斑马鱼体内的器官特异性蓄积及毒代动力学

麻黄碱（ephedrine,EPH）是一种生物碱,用于减轻感冒、过敏性鼻炎、鼻炎及鼻窦炎引起的鼻充血症状,控制支气管哮喘等,同时还是制造毒品冰毒的原料.EPH已经在地表水中广泛检出,并可能对水生生物甚至生态系统产生不利影响.但目前,EPH在水生生物中的摄取、器官分配和毒代动力学过程还没有受到关注.本研究中将斑马鱼（Danio rerio）在半静态系统中暴露于EPH,研究斑马鱼的不同器官对EPH的吸收、蓄积以及EPH在斑马鱼体内的毒物代动力学.暴露浓度分别为0.01、1.00和100.00 μg·L^-1,暴露14 d后,在斑马鱼脑、肝、肠、卵巢及肌肉中均检测到EPH,高浓度组斑马鱼脑中EPH最高达到84.97 ng·g^-1;EPH的平均含量的相对大小遵循以下顺序：脑 > 卵巢 > 肝 >肠 > 肌肉.斑马鱼器官中的麻黄碱的摄取速率常数（K_u）为0.23~570.31 L·（kg·d）^-1,消除速率常数（K_e）为1.22~6.11 d^-1,半衰期为0.12~0.57 d.观察到的生物富集系数（BCF_o）和动力学来源的生物富集系数（BCF_k）范围分别为0.24~337.33 L·kg^-1和0.13~316.43 L·kg^-1,处于相同的水平.     

Organic peroxy radicals: Kinetics,spectroscopy and tropospheric chemistry

The present state of knowledge of organic, or carbon-based, peroxy radicals (RO₂) is reviewed. Data on the chemical and physical properties of peroxy radicals in the gas-phase is considered, as well as the role of peroxy radicals in tropospheric chemistry and measurements of their concentrations in the atmosphere. Where appropriate, peroxy radicals are grouped together by type (alkyl, acyl, oxygen-substituted, halogen-substituted and aromatic radicals) to facilitate comparison. Data on the hydroperoxy radical (HO₂) is included where it is directly relevant to measurements on organic peroxy radicals, eg. absorption cross-sections used in measurements of RO₂ + HO₂ rate constants. The literature data is critically reviewed and recommendations for absorption cross-sections, rate constants and branching ratios are made where considered appropriate.The laboratory experimental techniques which have been used for the generation and detection of peroxy radicals and the products of their reactions are discussed. The structure, spectroscopy and thermochemistry of the radicals are examined. Although the majority of spectroscopic data concerns the u.v. spectra much used for kinetic studies, near-infrared, infrared and electron spin resonance spectra are also considered. In many cases, peroxy radical u.v. spectra are well-fitted by a Gaussian distribution function, enabling the cross-sections to be easily calculated at any wavelength.For the purpose of this review, the chemical reactions of peroxy radicals are divided into reactions with organic peroxy radicals with HO₂, with NO and NO₂, and finally with other species. Peroxy radical abstraction and addition reactions with closed-shell species are sufficiently slow to be of negligible importance at temperatures pertinent to the atmosphere and are consequently not covered. Data on both the kinetics and mechanisms of peroxy radical reactions are considered.The role of peroxy radicals as intermediates in the atmospheric degradation of volatile organic compounds and in the production of ozone in the troposphere under both low and high [NO_x] conditions is discussed. The involvement of peroxy radicals in night-time oxidation chemistry and the oxidation of halocarbons is also indicated. The techniques used for the difficult measurement of peroxy radical concentrations in the atmosphere are described, together with the results to date.Finally, some tentative suggestions as to further avenues of research are made, based on the data reviewed here and with particular reference to the solution of outstanding problems in atmospheric chemistry. Although a great deal of progress has been made in recent years, it is clear that additional work is needed in most areas covered by this review. New, sensitive and selective laboratory techniques are required for studies of peroxy radical kinetics and high level ab initio calculations would help design laser-based detection techniques. Further product studies of photooxidation systems are needed, particularly as a function of temperature. Recent work has shown that the rate constants for RO₂ + HO₂ reactions used in modelling studies may be too low; if so, these reactions will be correspondingly more important than previously believed in tropospheric oxidation. Recent kinetic studies of the potentially important reactions of methylperoxy radicals with ClO and NO₃ need to be confirmed and mechanistic work is necessary. Although substantial progress has been made towards the monitoring of peroxy radical concentrations in the atmosphere, more work is needed, both on measurements and the development of new techniques.

Energy and greenhouse gas impacts of mining and mineral processing operations

Life cycle assessments of the mining and mineral processing of iron ore, bauxite and copper concentrate were carried out, focussing on embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions. The results showed that loading and hauling make the largest contributions to the total greenhouse gas emissions for the mining and processing of iron ore and bauxite. In the case of copper ore, the crushing and grinding steps make the largest contribution to the total greenhouse gas emissions for the production of copper concentrate. These results indicate that efforts to reduce the increased greenhouse gas emissions from mining and mineral processing, anticipated in the future as a result of falling ore grades and more finer-grained deposits, should focus on loading and hauling for iron ore and bauxite, while for copper ore the focus should be on grinding. There are a number of new and emerging technologies that could be expected to assist in this task, and these include high pressure grinding rolls and stirred mills for grinding, and further advances in diesel engine technology for loading and hauling applications.
