Flotation performances of calcite particles under different grinding patterns involving the use of HPGR, a jaw crusher, a dry ball mill, a wet ball mill, and a wet rod mill were studied using single mineral flotation tests. The surface properties of the particles under different grinding patterns were characterized to determine the flotation performance variation in terms of specific surface area, particle size distribution, AFM, XPS, and zeta potential. The results show that particles ground by HPGR exhibited improved flotation performance within the lower range of grinding fineness in both NaOL and dodecyl amine flotation systems compared to the particles prepared using other grinding patterns. Specific surface area, particle size distribution, surface roughness, Fe（III） contamination, binding energy, and zeta potential are greatly influenced by grinding patterns, which is the main cause of the flotation performance variation.展开更多

The microstructures of the as-cast, pressed and heat-treated alloys were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. And the mechanical properties of the alloy in pressed and heat-treated states were studied. The results show that the ingots with diameter of 65 mm and external thickness （about） 5.5 mm are obtained when the temperatures of the melt in the internal and external ladles are 1 023 and 1 003 K, respectively, and the nozzle diameter is 2.0 mm. The microstructures of the as-cast alloy consist of α（Al）+（θ（CuAl2））+S（Al2CuMg） in the internal region and （α（Al）+MnAl6） in the external region. The phases found in the internal and external layers coexist in the transition zone. The transition layer is maintained after plastic deformation and heat treatment of the alloy. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the alloy are 300 MPa, 132 MPa and 16.0%, respectively, after T6 treatment. The tensile and yield strength are increased by 150.0% and （94.1%,） respectively, compared with that of 3003 aluminum alloy. The maximum hardness in the internal region of 2024/3003 gradient aluminum alloy can be increased from HRF 55 in the pressed state to HRF 70 in the heat-treated state.展开更多

This paper presents an experimental study of hydraulic properties of compacted binary silty clay. Specimens with different mixing ratios and dry densities were prepared. Scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to characterise the microstructure of silty clay. Thereafter, falling-head permeability tests and water retention tests were conducted to study the permeability and water retention property, respectively. The results demonstrate that clay particles are dispersed and show preferred arrangements after compaction when the clay content is 100%. As the clay content decreases, the arrangement of clay particles is gradually disturbed because of the existence of silt particles, causing the formation of large pores around silt particles. When the dry density increases, the pores around silt particles significantly decrease. Moreover, the permeability of silty clay decreases but the water retention capacity increases with increasing clay content and dry density. This is because the silty clay with larger clay content and dry density has fewer large pores, which greatly restrains the flow of water. Both the permeability and water retention property of silty clay can be predicted from pore size distribution parameters.展开更多

The study reveals that some properties of flotation reagents, such as group electronegativity, energy criterion, solubility product of chemicals and maximum wavelength of ultraviolet absorbency, have linear correlation with the first order group connectivity index (GCI) of polar group, and the related coefficients are all larger than 0.900. The GCI can be used to characterize the structure of groups, and is a sort of new effective structural parameter to study the quantitative structure activity relationship of flotation reagents.展开更多

The results reveal that the existence of F-and Cl-ions in the simulated treated water accelerate the corrosion rate of Q235 A steel. The corrosion rate reaches maximum with F-concentration of 50 mg/L, Cl-concentration of 200 mg/L, respectively. However, Q235 A steel would passivate when an applied potential is added to the system. Meanwhile, the initiating passive potential becomes positive with F-, Cl-concentration increasing. There is a little influence of F-, Cl-concentration on the initiating passivation current density. Therefore, it is necessary to control F-, Cl-concentration in the treated water when it is recycled by the pipelines made of Q235 A steel.展开更多

Water content is less than 4.5% and 1.0% for air-dried and oven-dried clay specimens, respectively. In all tests, axial strain rate was changed stepwise many times and drained creep tests were performed several times during monotonic loading at a constant strain rate. Global unloading (and also reloading in some tests) was applied during which creep loading tests were performed several times. Cyclic loading with small stress amplitude and several cycles was also performed to calculate the modulus of elasticity of the clay in tests. Local displacement transducer was used in triaxial compression test to increase measuring accuracy of axial strain. The results show that air-dried and oven-dried clay have noticeable viscous properties; during global unloading, creep deformation changes from positive to negative, i.e. there exist neutral points (zero creep deformation or no creep deformation point) in global unloading part of strain-stress curve; viscous property of Fujinomori clay decreases when water content decreases, i.e. viscous property of air-dried Fujinomori clay is more significant than that of oven-dried Fujinomori clay.展开更多

文摘Additive manufacturing(AM)of SiC_(P)/Al composites has shown significant potential for expanding the application of aluminum matrix composites(AMCs)due to their outstanding mechanical properties and wear performance.However,conventional mechanically mixed powders for AM are limited due to the possible powder agglomeration and poor fluidity.In this study,the spherical SiC_(P)/AlSi10Mg composite powders prepared by spray granulation were employed to fabricate SiC_(P)-reinforced AlSi10Mg composites using laser powder bed fusion(LPBF).The impacts of laser power on microstructure evolution and wear properties of composites were systematically investigated.The results indicated that an in-situ reaction between the aluminum matrix and SiC_(P)during the LpBF process,resulted in the formation of particle-like and strip-like strengthening phase Al_(4)SiC_(4).By adjusting the laser power(from 270 W to 350 W)to change the ratio of SiC_(P)to Al_(4)SiC_(4),micro-defects could be effectively limited,and wear performance could be improved.Consequently,with an optimized ratio of SiC_(P)to Al_(4)SiC_(4),the composite exhibited a mixed strengthening mechanism caused by the SiC_(P)and Al_(4)SiC_(4)reinforcing phases.At a laser power of 310 W,the sample exhibited minimal porosity with a microhardness value reaching 265.38HV,while maintaining relatively low average friction coefficient and wear rate.In addition,compared with other studies,the hardness obtained was superior to that of the AlSi10Mg and other reported SiC_(P)/AlSi10Mg composites with similar volume fractions using the mixed powders.

文摘Based on the working principles of particle bed comminution, particles produced by high-pressure grinding rolls （HPGR） have surface properties different from particles produced by other grinding patterns, which exert great influence on mineral flotation. Flotation performances of calcite particles under different grinding patterns involving the use of HPGR, a jaw crusher, a dry ball mill, a wet ball mill, and a wet rod mill were studied using single mineral flotation tests. The surface properties of the particles under different grinding patterns were characterized to determine the flotation performance variation in terms of specific surface area, particle size distribution, AFM, XPS, and zeta potential. The results show that particles ground by HPGR exhibited improved flotation performance within the lower range of grinding fineness in both NaOL and dodecyl amine flotation systems compared to the particles prepared using other grinding patterns. Specific surface area, particle size distribution, surface roughness, Fe（III） contamination, binding energy, and zeta potential are greatly influenced by grinding patterns, which is the main cause of the flotation performance variation.

文摘Pre-heat treatment is a vital step before cold ring rolling and it has significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of rolled rings.The 100Cr6 steel rings were subjected to pre-heat treatment and subsequent cold rolling process.Scanning electron microscopy and tensile tests were applied to investigate microstructure characteristic and mechanical property variations of 100Cr6 steel rings undergoing different pre-heat treatings.The results indicate that the average diameter of carbide particles,the tensile strength and hardness increase,while the elongation decreases with the decrease of cooling rate.The cooling rate has minor effect on the yield strength of sample.After cold ring rolling,the ferrite matrix shows a clear direction along the rolling direction.The distribution of cementite is more homogeneous and the cementite particles are finer.Meanwhile,the hardness of the rolled ring is higher than that before rolling.

文摘Engineering property of kaolin clay contaminated by diesel oil was studied through a series of laboratory experiments.Oil contents(mass fraction) of 4%,8%,12%,16% and 20% were selected to represent different contamination degrees,and the soil specimens were manually prepared through mixing and static compaction method.Initial water content and dry density of the test kaolin clay were controlled at 10% and 1.58 g/cm^3,respectively.Test results indicate that since part of the diesel oil will be released from soil by evaporation,the real water content should be derived through calibration of the quasi water content obtained by traditional test method.As contamination degree of the kaolin clay increases,both liquid limit and plastic limit decrease,but there's only a slight increase for plasticity index.Swelling pressure of contaminated kaolin clay under confined condition will be lowered when oil-content gets higher.Unconfined compressive strength(UCS) of the oil-contaminated kaolin clay is influenced by not only oil content but also curing period.Increase of contamination degree will continually lower UCS of the kaolin clay specimen.In addition,electrical resistivity of the contaminated kaolin clay with given water content decreases with the increase of oil content.However,soil resistivity is in good relationship with oil content and UCS.Finally,oil content of 8% is found to be a critical value for engineering property of kaolin clay to transit from water-dominated towards oil-dominated characteristics.

文摘The influence of the interaction between surrounding rock and lining on the long-term behaviour of a tunnel in service is significant.In this paper,we proposed a mechanical model of the circular lined tunnel with the alterable mechanical property under hydrostatic stress and radially inner surface pressure of the lining.The alterable mechanical properties of the surrounding rock and the lining are embodied by the changing of their elasticity modulus with service time and radial direction of the tunnel,respectively.The proposed mechanical model is successfully validated by comparison with the existing theoretical models and the numerical simulation,respectively.The influences of the main parameters of the proposed mechanical model,such as the radial power-law indexes and the time-varying coefficients of the surrounding rock and the lining,as well as the radially inner surface pressure of the lining,on the interface displacement and pressure between surrounding rock and lining are investigated.The research results can provide some valuable references for timely diagnosis and correct evaluation of the long-term behaviours of a tunnel in service.
文摘gradient aluminum alloy was prepared by semi-continuous casting using double-stream-pouring technique. The microstructures of the as-cast, pressed and heat-treated alloys were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. And the mechanical properties of the alloy in pressed and heat-treated states were studied. The results show that the ingots with diameter of 65 mm and external thickness （about） 5.5 mm are obtained when the temperatures of the melt in the internal and external ladles are 1 023 and 1 003 K, respectively, and the nozzle diameter is 2.0 mm. The microstructures of the as-cast alloy consist of α（Al）+（θ（CuAl2））+S（Al2CuMg） in the internal region and （α（Al）+MnAl6） in the external region. The phases found in the internal and external layers coexist in the transition zone. The transition layer is maintained after plastic deformation and heat treatment of the alloy. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the alloy are 300 MPa, 132 MPa and 16.0%, respectively, after T6 treatment. The tensile and yield strength are increased by 150.0% and （94.1%,） respectively, compared with that of 3003 aluminum alloy. The maximum hardness in the internal region of 2024/3003 gradient aluminum alloy can be increased from HRF 55 in the pressed state to HRF 70 in the heat-treated state.

文摘The durability of silty clay embankments is partially controlled by the moisture migration, which depends on soil hydraulic properties. This paper presents an experimental study of hydraulic properties of compacted binary silty clay. Specimens with different mixing ratios and dry densities were prepared. Scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to characterise the microstructure of silty clay. Thereafter, falling-head permeability tests and water retention tests were conducted to study the permeability and water retention property, respectively. The results demonstrate that clay particles are dispersed and show preferred arrangements after compaction when the clay content is 100%. As the clay content decreases, the arrangement of clay particles is gradually disturbed because of the existence of silt particles, causing the formation of large pores around silt particles. When the dry density increases, the pores around silt particles significantly decrease. Moreover, the permeability of silty clay decreases but the water retention capacity increases with increasing clay content and dry density. This is because the silty clay with larger clay content and dry density has fewer large pores, which greatly restrains the flow of water. Both the permeability and water retention property of silty clay can be predicted from pore size distribution parameters.
文摘Topological method is applied firstly to calculate the group connectivity indexes of some flotation reagents for sulfide minerals and oxide minerals. The study reveals that some properties of flotation reagents, such as group electronegativity, energy criterion, solubility product of chemicals and maximum wavelength of ultraviolet absorbency, have linear correlation with the first order group connectivity index (GCI) of polar group, and the related coefficients are all larger than 0.900. The GCI can be used to characterize the structure of groups, and is a sort of new effective structural parameter to study the quantitative structure activity relationship of flotation reagents.

文摘This study investigates the effect of tool rotational speed(TRS)on particle distribution in nugget zone(NZ)through quantitative approach and its consequences on the mechanical property of friction stir welded joints of AA6092/17.5 SiCp-T6 composite.6 mm thick plates are welded at a constant tool tilt angle of 2°and tool traverse speed of 1 mm/s by varying the TRS at 1000 rpm,1500 rpm and 2000 rpm with a taper pin profiled tool.Microstructure analysis shows large quantity of uniformly shaped smaller size SiC particle with lower average particle area which are homogeneously distributed in the NZ.The fragmentation of bigger size particles has been observed because of abrading action of the hard tool and resulting shearing effect and severe stress generation due to the rotation of tool.The particles occupy maximum area in the matrix compared to that of the base material(BM)due to the redistribution of broken particles as an effect of TRS.The migration of particles towards the TMAZ-NZ transition zone has been also encountered at higher TRS(2000 rpm).The microhardness analysis depicts variation in average hardness from top to bottom of the NZ,minimum for 1500 rpm and maximum for 2000 rpm.The impact strength at 1000 rpm and 1500 rpm remains close to that of BM(21.6 J)while 2000 rpm shows the accountable reduction.The maximum joint efficiency has been achieved at 1500 rpm(84%)and minimum at 1000 rpm(68%)under tensile loading.Fractographic analysis shows mixed mode of failure for BM,1000 rpm and 1500 rpm,whereas 2000 rpm shows the brittle mode of failure.

文摘The corrosion behaviors and electrochemical properties of Q235 A steel in the treated water containing corrosive halide anions(F-, Cl-) have been investigated with corrosion tests of static coupon and dynamic coupon testing, electrochemical measurement of open-circuit potential and linear sweep voltammetry. The results reveal that the existence of F-and Cl-ions in the simulated treated water accelerate the corrosion rate of Q235 A steel. The corrosion rate reaches maximum with F-concentration of 50 mg/L, Cl-concentration of 200 mg/L, respectively. However, Q235 A steel would passivate when an applied potential is added to the system. Meanwhile, the initiating passive potential becomes positive with F-, Cl-concentration increasing. There is a little influence of F-, Cl-concentration on the initiating passivation current density. Therefore, it is necessary to control F-, Cl-concentration in the treated water when it is recycled by the pipelines made of Q235 A steel.

文摘Olivine LiFePO4/C nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and eco-friendly solution preparation.The phase,structure,morphology and composition of the as-prepared products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),thermogravimetric and differential-thermogravimetric analysis(TG-DTA) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDS) techniques,showing uniform nanowire shape of LiFePO4/C with a diameter of 80-150 nm and a length of several microns.The heat-treated LiFePO4/C nanowires show excellent electrochemical properties of specific discharge capacity,rate capacity and cycling stability.In particular,the LiFePO4/C nanowires heat-treated at 400 °C show preferable first discharge specific capacity of 161 mA·h/g at 0.1C rate,while the voltage platform is 3.4 V and the first discharge specific capacity is 93 mA·h/g at 20C rate.The specific capacity retention is 98% after 50 cycles at 5C rate.
文摘One dimensional and triaxial compression tests of air-dried and oven-dried Fujinomori clay and Pisa clay were carried out. Water content is less than 4.5% and 1.0% for air-dried and oven-dried clay specimens, respectively. In all tests, axial strain rate was changed stepwise many times and drained creep tests were performed several times during monotonic loading at a constant strain rate. Global unloading (and also reloading in some tests) was applied during which creep loading tests were performed several times. Cyclic loading with small stress amplitude and several cycles was also performed to calculate the modulus of elasticity of the clay in tests. Local displacement transducer was used in triaxial compression test to increase measuring accuracy of axial strain. The results show that air-dried and oven-dried clay have noticeable viscous properties; during global unloading, creep deformation changes from positive to negative, i.e. there exist neutral points (zero creep deformation or no creep deformation point) in global unloading part of strain-stress curve; viscous property of Fujinomori clay decreases when water content decreases, i.e. viscous property of air-dried Fujinomori clay is more significant than that of oven-dried Fujinomori clay.
