Utilisation of high volumes of limestone quarry wastes in concrete industry (self-compacting concrete case)

In limestone quarries, considerable amounts of limestone powders are being produced as by-products of stone crushers. High amounts of powders are being collected and utilisation of this by-product is a big problem from the aspects of disposal, environmental pollution and health hazards. In conventional concrete, the introduction of high volumes of limestone quarry dust to concrete mixes is limited due to its negative effects on water demand and strength of concrete. However, these fines can be efficiently utilised as viscosity enhancer particularly in special concrete (like self-compacting concrete—SCC) applications. Thus, the successful utilisation of this quarry dust in SCC could turn this material into a valuable resource.In this paper the usability of a quarry dust limestone powder in self-compacting paste and concrete applications was investigated. In the first part, the physical and mechanical properties of cement pastes incorporating quarry waste limestone powder (QLP) and a powder produced by direct grinding of limestone (PLP) were compared. In the second part, the performance of quarry waste limestone powder in SCC applications were tested and discussed. Results showed that, it is possible to successfully utilise high amounts of quarry waste limestone powder in producing normal-strength SCCs. Among its observed mechanical advantages, employment of quarry waste limestone powders improved the economical feasibility of SCC production.     

Evaluating the Risk of Potential Acid Sulfate Soils and Habitat Modification for Mosquito Control (Runneling) in Coastal Salt Marshes: Comparing Methods and Managing the Risk

Coastal environments in Australia are under development pressures. Human settlement encroaches on disease vector salt marsh mosquito breeding areas that are underlain by potential acid sulfate soils (PASS). Altering the hydrology by runneling solves the mosquito problem but may lead to acid sulfate problems. Appropriate analytical tools can assess the risk to the environment. The objective of the research was to compare three methods of assessing PASS. The study area was a low-lying intertidal subtropical salt marsh that was being considered for runneling. The results indicated that using field pH and field peroxide pH (and the relationship between these), and also the peroxide oxidation-combined acidity and sulfate (POCAS) test, appeared to overestimate the potential acidity. This was because the source of acidity in the intertidal salt marsh includes a large organic content, which is not a major environmental concern. The chromium-reducible sulfur test, which is not affected by organic content, was found to provide the most appropriate assessment, and is recommended for use in highly organic salt marshes.

超细聚苯乙烯微球粉体的燃爆特性研究

为研究超细聚苯乙烯微球粉体的燃爆特性,通过粉尘层最低着火温度测试装置、MIE-D1.2最小点火能测试装置、20 L球形爆炸测试装置,对其最低着火温度、最大爆炸压力、最小点火能量(MIE)等爆炸特性参数进行测定,探讨了加热温度、点火延滞时间、粉尘质量浓度、粉尘粒径对粉体燃爆特性的影响。结果表明:超细聚苯乙烯微球粉尘层在350℃左右时会发生无焰燃烧,且加热温度越高,粉体粒径越小,粉尘层发生着火时所需的时间越短;当粉体质量浓度为250 g/m3时,最大爆炸压力达到0.65 MPa,质量浓度为500 g/m3时,最大爆炸压力的上升速率达90 MPa/s以上;随点火延滞时间增加,最小点火能表现出先缓慢减小再急剧增大的规律;随粉尘质量浓度增加,最小点火能逐渐降低,当粉尘质量浓度超过500g/m3后逐渐趋于稳定。     

水稻土中硫酸二乙酯分解产生含硫气体的研究

为了探讨水稻土中含硫气体产生和释放的途径，在室内培养条件下，测定了南京水稻土中含硫气体的释放。结果从该淹水土壤中测出3种含硫气体；硫化氢（H2S），羰基硫（COS）和二甲基硫（DMS）气体。当土壤中加入硫酸二乙酯后，不仅上述3种气体的释放量增加了，而且还明显测出甲硫醇（CH3SH）和二硫化碳（CS2）。据此推测，水稻土中硫酸二乙酯的分解可能是CH3SH、CS2、COS、H2S、DMS5种气体产生释放的来源之一。在好氧条件（普通大气）下：（1）H2S和COS的释放量低于厌氧条件（充氮）。（2）CS2和CH3SH的释放量高于厌氧条件。（3）DMS的释放量不受空气中氧气含量的影响。分析了培养前后土壤pH和Eh的变化和影响。
