Abstract Solidification of cathode ray tube (CRT) panel glass was carried out using a hydrothermal processing method. In this way, the glass powder was first compacted in a mold at 20 MPa, and then hydrothermally cured in an autoclave under saturated steam pressure at 200 ℃ for 6 hours. The CRT panel glass was then hydrothermally solidified by the formation of tobermorite (Ca5Si6O16(OH)2·4H2O), which was encouraged by the addition of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2). The final solidified specimen’s strength was heavily depended on the amount of tobermorite formed, with higher concentrations of tobermorite producing commensurately greater mechanical strength. With the addition of slaked lime at 20%-30% by mass, the specimen achieved a flexural strength of approximately 16 MPa, which is sufficiently great for using as a construction material. As such, there is cause to believe that the hydrothermal processing method used here may have substantial potential for the product of high-quality recycled CRT panel glass with properties suitable for utilization as a construction material.

Abstract Due to stringent local regulations and adverse environmental impacts, Vietnamese coal mining industries are under pressure to reuse the large volume of wastewater they produce. To this end, the aim of this study was to add microfiltration (MF) membranes after the conventional Vietnamese coalmine wastewater treatment systems (coagulation/sedimentation/filtration) to assess the feasibility of effluent reuse. The pilot-scale test was performed at a coalmine plant located in Quang Ninh province, Vietnam. Results indicate that precipitation with slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) and polyaluminum chloride (PACl) followed by sand filtration are important pre-treatment steps, prior to microfiltration. To achieve high Mn removals the sand in the filter had to be replaced by a KMnO4 coated sand. The MF membrane produced a stable and high quality effluent that meets the Vietnamese National Technical Regulations for Drinking Water quality (Fe < 0.5 mg/L, Mn < 0.3 mg/L, hardness <350 mg/L as CaCO3). Complete membrane recovery was achieved by sequential 24 h soakings in NaOCl, citric acid and a surfactant.

In the analysis of the development of thermodynamics as a science, the theoretical work of Sadi Carnot, published in 1824, is generally considered to be the starting point. Carnot studied the cycle of an ideal heat engine and formulated the condition for its maximum efficiency. In this article we examine James Watt’s contributions to the formation of fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, made in the course of his work on improving the Newcomen engine and developing his own steam engine. It is shown that Watt was the first to characterize thermodynamic properties such as latent heat and vapor density. The authors prove Watt’s priority in the studies of the dependence of saturated steam pressure on temperature, in which a critical point was found when the latent heat disappears. These results of Watt anticipated by many decades the studies on the thermodynamic critical state by Th. Andrews and J. Thomson. The article also discusses Wattʼs research on thermodynamic cycles. It is shown that he was the first to study the Rankine cycle with superheated steam, known from the history of thermodynamics. Watt was also the first scientist to introduce the concept of a steam engine’ volumetric work as the product of pressure and volume, and developed a device, the steam pressure indicator, to measure its value. We show the results obtained by Watt with steam to be considerably ahead of Prescott Jouleʼs work on the cooling and condensation of gases during expansion. The article presents an interpretation of Watt’s 1769 patent that is very important as the primary source for a subsequent study and establishment of the principles of energy conversion. The factual material presented in this article suggests that Watt’s scientific research have not been properly understood or simply went unnoticed.

Present day steelmaking slags are being successfully used as a high quality mineral aggregate for the building industry. With this, it is of vital importance to be familiar with the technical significance of the secondary application of steel slag, because some steel slag might contain increased concentration of substances harmful to human health. In terms of steel slag impact on the environment, radionuclides are the least researched of all pollutants emitted from the metallurgical processes. This work presents the preliminary study about the presence of the uranium in siderurgy slag aggregates for the purpose of its use in the production of construction material. The results showed that this slag is free of uranium which brings greater security in its use as building material.

<p>The present work is directed towards the impacts of Détente InstantanéeContrôléeDIC (French, for instant controlled pressure-drop) in terms of decaffeination and drying of Ethiopian green coffee beans (GCBs).DICconsisted in subjecting the product to a high-pressure saturated steam during some seconds and ended with an abrupt pressure drop towards a vacuum. A conventional aqueous extraction and a hot air-drying took place after DIC treatment. Inthis study, Response Surface Method (RSM) was used withDIC saturated steam pressure P, thermal treatment time t, and initial moisture content W asthe independent variables. Both direct DICextract recovered from the vacuum tank and the aqueous extracts wereanalyzed and quantified using the reversed phase-HPLC. With decaffeination ratiosas dependent variables, P and Wwere the most significant operating parameters; whilet was much weaker.Total decaffeination ratio could reach 99.5% after DIC treatment at specificconditions of W=11.00% db, P=0.1 MPa, and t=35swhile it was only 58% when achieved with untreated raw material.</p> The effective diffusivity  and the starting accessibility  were calculated from the diffusion/surface interaction kinetic model of hotair drying after DIC treatment. They dramatically increased with P and t while W had a weak impact.Thus, at the optimized DICconditions, and  increased from 0.33 to 12.60 10<sup>-10</sup>m² s<sup>-1</sup>and from 0.75 to 11.53 g/100 g db, respectively. Drying time needed to reach 5% db became 60 min instead of 528 min for untreated raw material. <p>RSM analysis showed that the DIC saturated steam pressure P and the initial moisture content W were the most significant variables both affecting the decaffeination ratio; the impact of the total thermal processing time t was much weaker. Total decaffeination ratio could reach 99.5% after DIC treatment at specific conditions of W=11.00% db, P=0.1 MPa, and t=35 s while it was only 58% when achieved with untreated raw material.</p> <p>Using diffusion/surface interaction model of hot-air drying kinetics just after DIC treatment, we could observe that DIC expansion dramatically improved the drying kinetic parameters, with P and t as the most significant DIC operating parameters while the impact of W was much weaker. Thus, the optimized DIC treatment allowed the effective diffusivity  and the starting accessibility to increase from 0.33 10<sup>-10</sup> m² s<sup>-1</sup> and 0.75 g/100 g db to 12.60 10<sup>-10</sup> m² s<sup>-1</sup> and 11.53 g/100 g db, respectively. Drying time needed to reach 5% db became 60 min instead of 528 min for untreated raw material.</p>

Concrete is a widely used construction material now Compared to other materials such as wood and steel. This is because the constituent material is easy to obtain, has enough strength, good durability, the making process is easy and in terms of economic price affordable. Concrete is Generally classified into two classes, namely normal quality and high quality. Both of them are now widely used in the construction activities. Normal quality concrete has a quality of 20 Mpa up to 58 MPa, while high quality concrete ranges above 58 Mpa. One of the applications in the structures is collapse behavior concrete beams on the normal quality of norm with the confinement on the pressure area. To analyze the effect of collapse behavior of normal quality concrete beams and varied Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by using ANSYS Ed. 9.0 with stirrups variation space in te respective spans (40, 80,120,150) mm and stirrup variation distance in the respective field (40,80,120,125,150,100,75.50) mm with 15/20 beam size. The steel material used has stress power of 400 each Mpa, stirrup stress 200 Mpa, normal quality stress 25 Mpa. Based on manual analysis and FEA the magnitude of ultimate capacity that occurs in the model of the beam with the dense stirrup on the stress area the ultimate moment value will rise both in the moment span area and in the field. The deformation is decreasing and the crack behavior on the pressure area can be minimized
