The effects of phosphorus-free inhibitors on the ignition of lycopodium dust

The minimum ignition temperature of dust suspension (MIT) and the hot surface ignition temperature of the dust layer (LIT) are essential safety parameters for the process industry. However, the knowledge of the ignition behavior when solid mixtures of flammable fuels and phosphorous-free inhibitors are considered is still scarce and further experimental and theoretical analyses are requested. In this work, the ignition temperature of phosphorous-free inhibitors (coal fly ash and calcium carbonate) mixed with lycopodium dust have been studied in terms of LIT analysis (hot plate thickness: 5 mm, 12.5 mm and 15 mm), and by the Godbert-Greenwald test for the MIT. Both coal fly ash and calcium carbonate have been tested at different concentrations and particle sizes.Results show that the effects of the inhibitor can be counter-productive when layer ignition temperature is considered even if the minimum ignition temperature of the dust suspension shows a positive effect from the safety point of view. This behavior has been analyzed in the terms of thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the mixture, by using Maxwell's equation for two-phase solid mixtures. Standard empirical correlations for the ignition temperature of solid mixtures have been also tested, showing their weakness in reproducing mixture behavior.     

Fe(II)-mediated transformation of schwertmannite associated with calcium from acid mine drainage treatment

Schwertmannite is an important Fe(III)-oxyhydroxysulfate in acid mine drainage (AMD) polluted areas and its stability depends on surrounding environmental factors and previously bound elements. The treatment and neutralization of AMD normally involve the use of lime, which leads to the discharge of abundant Ca in the mining area. Such an environmental disturbance brings up an important and less considered problem of how the reductive transformation of schwertmannite associated with coexisting Ca occurred. Here, the Fe(II)-mediated transformation of Ca-adsorbed schwertmannite and subsequent Ca repartitioning behaviors were investigated. Results showed that adsorbed Ca had a weak inhibitory effect on Fe(II)-mediated schwertmannite transformation. Release of SO₄²⁻ and SEM images both indicated that transformation rates of schwertmannite decreased under the influence of adsorbed Ca. XRD patterns indicated that adsorbed Ca altered schwertmannite transformation pathways and product compositions upon treatment with 0.4 mmol/L Fe(II). The end products of Sch notably contained both goethite and lepidocrocite; however, transformation products of SchCa only contained goethite all along. Approximately 33.5% of the surface adsorbed-Ca was released into solution within 6 hr after Fe(II) injection. Aqueous Ca behaved in a “first release and then im-mobilization” manner, which indicated dissolution and secondary mineralization drove Ca migration during the Fe(II)-mediated transformation of SchCa. Adsorbed Ca blocked the surface sites for subsequent Fe(II) adsorption, limited the Fe(II)-Fe(III) ETAE, and decreased the transformation rates. This work sheds light on the complex geochemical behavior of schwertmannite under the influences of environmental perturbations in AMD environments.     

Study on the influence of additives in an industrial calcium fluoride and waterworks sludge co-melting system

This work explores the effect of additives on the pouring temperature in a waterworks and industrial calcium fluoride sludge co-melting system. Two kinds of sludge were mixed in various ratios to find a mixing ratio at which the operating temperature for subsequent additive tests was relatively low. Various proportions of either sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or potassium carbonate (K2CO3) reagent were added to the mixed-sludge samples to elucidate the consequent changes in pouring temperature. The experimental results revealed that the pouring temperature was lowest when calcium fluoride was mixed with waterworks sludge in a ratio of 4:6 (w/w). Adding sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate reagent to the mixed-sludge samples further reduced the pouring temperature. Increasing the amount of sodium carbonate did not significantly reduce the pouring temperature beyond that observed when 2% was added, suggesting that 2% was the optimal additional percentage of sodium carbonate. In contrast, the pouring temperature was increased when over 2% potassium carbonate was added to the mixed-sludge samples, revealing that the optimal additional percentage of potassium carbonate was also 2%. These findings indicate that both sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate can be used as additives to increase the energy efficiency of the melting process, but sodium carbonate is more operationally convenient.

碳酸盐岩Sr同位素比值的选择性溶解及测定技术

传统的碳酸盐岩的Sr同位素比值测定由于采用盐酸溶样 ,虽然具有溶解迅速的优点 ,但同时也使非碳酸盐组分被溶解而往往导致测定值偏高 ,同时也增加了Sr分离与纯化的难度。因此 ,我们考虑用弱酸来溶解碳酸盐岩矿样 ,以改进传统方法的不足。实验中采用醋酸作为溶解介质 ,对比了不同浓度的醋酸的溶解效果 ,对较难溶解的白云岩样品作了弱酸溶解实验 ,同时比较了 2 .5mol/L盐酸和 4mol/L醋酸溶样后的测定结果和测定精度。实验结果表明碳酸盐岩Sr同位素的选择性测定技术可以使溶解对象局限于样品中的目标组分———碳酸盐岩 ,防止样品中的非碳酸盐岩组分的溶解 ,避免过多的杂质进入溶解液 ,使碳酸盐岩中的微量元素———Sr(通常含量在 10 4 — 10 5范围内 )的同位素比值测定趋于准确和可靠 ,同时也减少了杂质元素的干扰 ,便于Sr的分离与纯化。
