The mass flow and transport phenomenon in porous media widely exists in nature and engineering applications. Membrane separation is a typical material transfer process in the porous medium. The objective of the present study is to estimate the effect of microwave irradiation on transport of micro-particle suspension through porous structure, using the flowing of TiO2/H2O micro particle suspension through 0.45μm mixed cellulose micro porous membrane as an example. The work mainly compared the filtration behavior of suspension through membranes during microwave assisted filtration and conventional filtration. The particle size distribution of suspension was also characterized by using laser particle size analyzer. As the results, it is measured that the processed volume of suspension during microwave assisted filtration is considerable higher than that during conventional filtration. It is also observed that the average size of particles in suspension is 3.80 μm (10 g/L), and the volume percentage of particles smaller than micro-pore size 0.45μm in micro-filtration membrane is about 11.5%. It is indicated that microwave assisted filtration could considerably enhance the processed volume of suspension with micro-particle, which might be able to give some inspiration to the optimization of some processed technology of suspension chemical industry, food industry and water treatment industry.

When mixtures of Fe, Al, Ti and B powders were heated, the combustion synthesis, or SHS, reaction occurred and produced a TiB2 particle dispersed FeAl-based composite. The TiB2 particle size increased with increasing TiB2 volume fraction from 0.3 to 0.8, which was considered to be due to the fact that the adiabatic temperature of the reaction increases with the increase in TiB2 concentration in the composite due to the large formation enthalpy of TiB2. The TiB2 particle size decreased with increasing preheating time, temperature and pressure before the SHS reaction. It was suggested that partial reaction between elemental powders before the SHS reaction reduced the adiabatic temperature and hence the TiB2 particle size. The Vickers hardness of the composite varied from 500 to 2000 depending on the microstructure. This method was applied to the production of TiC-FeAl, TiC-Fe, TiB2-Fe composites.

Dicalcium silicate (Ca2SiO4) is a major component of Portland cement. It has also been investigated as a potential transformation toughener alternative to zirconia. It has five polymorphs: α, α'H, α'L, β and γ. Of interest is the β-to-γ transformation on cooling at about 490°C. This transformation, accompanied by a 12% volume increase and a 4.6° unit cell shape change, is analogous to the tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation in zirconia. Due to the processing methods used, previous studies into the particle size effect were limited by a wide range of particle size distribution. In an attempt to obtain a more uniform size, a fast quench rate involving a laser-melting/roller-quenching technique was investigated.The laser-melting/roller-quenching experiment used precompacted bars of stoichiometric γ-Ca2SiO4 powder, which were synthesized from AR grade CaCO3 and SiO2xH2O. The raw materials were mixed by conventional ceramic processing techniques, and sintered at 1450°C. The dusted γ-Ca2SiO4 powder was uniaxially pressed into 0.4 cm x 0.4 cm x 4 cm bars under 34 MPa and cold isostatically pressed under 172 MPa. The γ-Ca2SiO4 bars were melted by a 10 KW-CO2 laser.

Automotive catalysts generally lose-agtivity during vehicle operation due to several well-known deactivation mechanisms. To gain a more fundamental understanding of catalyst deactivation, the microscopic details of fresh and vehicle-aged commercial pelleted automotive exhaust catalysts containing Pt, Pd and Rh were studied by employing Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM). Two different vehicle-aged samples containing similar poison levels but having different catalytic activities (denoted better and poorer) were selected for this study.The general microstructure of the supports and the noble metal particles of the two catalysts looks similar; the noble metal particles were generally found to be spherical and often faceted. However, the average noble metal particle size on the poorer catalyst (21 nm) was larger than that on the better catalyst (16 nm). These sizes represent a significant increase over that found on the fresh catalyst (8 nm). The activity of these catalysts decreases as the observed particle size increases.
