The CaO-SiO2-MgO-5Al2O3-30FeO five (oxide) components slag system was studied by varying the magnesium oxide (MgO) content (5.7–13.6 wt.%.% MgO) and keeping the basicity constant). The data were analyzed using the FactSage software. It was observed that the liquid network structure and precipitation of solid particles had an impact on high-temperature viscosity and foaming life. Under the same basicity (mass ratio CaO/SiO2 = 1.5) and at a temperature of 1500 °C, the MgO content was varied as 5.7 wt.%, 7.4 wt.%, 9.6 wt.%, 11.5 wt.%, and 13.6 wt.% in A0~A5. The solid fractions of different samples were estimated with FactSage software and found to be A0–A2 (0 wt.%), A3 (2.77 wt.%), A4 (6.92 wt.%), A5 (11.7 wt.%). The viscosities of A0–A5 measured at 1500 ·C were 22, 47, 40, 76, 363, and 1088 mPa×s, respectively, and the foaming life was 2.0 min, 7.7 min, 6.2 min, 13.4 min, 16.8 min, and 18.0 min, respectively. It was found that A5 exhibits the best effective foaming life under these environmental conditions because it can ex-hibit a double foaming effect formed by the precipitation of solid particles. The Si-O-Si network in liquid slag also contributed to foaming life, when there was only liquid slag bonding in the slag, the effective foaming life was 7.7 min. In the absence of these factors, the foaming life was only 2 min.

Melting solidification experiments of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash were carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace device. An ash fusion temperature (AFT) test, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied in order to gain insight into the ash fusibility, the transformation during the melting process, and the leaching behavior of heavy metals in slag. The results showed that oxide minerals transformed into gehlenite as temperature increased. When the temperature increased to 1300 °C, 89 °C higher than the flow temperature (FT), all of the crystals transformed into molten slag. When the heating temperatures were higher than the FT, the volatilization of the Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu decreased, which may have been influenced by the formation of liquid slag. In addition, the formation of liquid slag at a high temperature also improved the stability of heavy metals in heated slag.

A new cermet sinter with sweat-gland micro-pore structure has been developed by powder metallurgy technology in vacuum. The effects of the pore-forming materials on micro-pore structure and Y2O3 additions as well mechanical properties of TiC/FeCrWMoV cermets were investigated. Some typical sweat-gland micro-pores were formed while compound additives TiH2 and CaCO3 adding into the sinter matrix. The porosity of the cermet sinters changes from 20% to 28% with the compound additives from 6% to 8%, and the micro-pores of sinters exist a regularized and interpenetrated network structure just like human’s sweat-gland one and obeying to Rayleigh Distribution. As such the sinters could be easily infiltrated with high-temperature solid lubricant. For improving the property of the ceramet sinter, the elements Y2O3 of 0.6~0.8% (vol. fraction ) was also added into the sinter matrix and its effect on the sinter has been also discussed .

AbstractThe effect of the addition of 2CaO·SiO2 solid particles on dephosphorization behavior in carbon-saturated hot metal was investigated. The research results showed that the addition of 2CaO·SiO2 particles have little influence on desilication and demanganization, and the removal of [Si] and [Mn] occurred in the first 5 min with different conditions where the contents of 2CaO·SiO2 particles addition for the conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 0, 2.2, 6.4, 8.6, and 13.0 g, respectively. The final dephosphorization ratios for the conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 61.2%, 66.9%, 79.6%, 63.0%, and 78.1%, respectively. The dephosphorization ratio decreases with the increase of 2CaO·SiO2 particles in the first 3 min. The reason for this is that the dephosphorization process between hot metal and slag containing C2S phase consisted of two stages: Stage 1, [P] transfers from hot metal to liquid slag and Stage 2, the dephosphorization production (3CaO·P2O5) in liquid slag reacts with 2CaO·SiO2 to form C2S–C3P solid solution. The increase of 2CaO·SiO2 particles increases the viscosity of slag and weakens the dephosphorization ability of the stage 1. The SEM and XRD analyses show that the phase of dephosphorization slag with the addition of different 2CaO·SiO2 particles is composed of white RO phase, complex liquid silicate phase, and black solid phase (C2S or C2S–C3P). Because the contents of C2S–C3P and 2CaO·SiO2 in slag and the dephosphorization ability of the two stages are different, the dephosphorization ability with different conditions is different.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to define procedures to assess the tolerance of cassava genotypes to postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) and to microbial deterioration (MD). Roots of six cassava genotypes were evaluated in two experiments, during storage under different environmental conditions: high temperature and low soil moisture; or low temperature and high soil moisture. Roots were treated or not with fungicide (carbendazim) before storage. Genotype reactions to MD and PPD were evaluated at 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 days after harvest (DAH), in the proximal, medial, and distal parts of the roots. A diagrammatic scale was proposed to evaluate nonperipheral symptoms of PPD. Fungicide treatment and root position did not influence PPD expression; however, all factors had significant effect on MD severity. Genotypes differed as to their tolerance to PPD and MD. Both deterioration types were more pronounced during periods of higher humidity and lower temperatures. The fungicide treatment increased root shelf life by reducing MD severity up to 10 DAH. Whole roots showed low MD severity and high PPD expression up to 10 DAH, which enabled the assessment of PPD without significant interference of MD symptoms during this period.



A high-temperature cloud chamber is described in which a bead of alkali halide is supported on a heater coil mounted in the roof. By passing the current through the coil the temperature of the bead may be momentarily raised by several hundred degrees, producing salt vapour at high supersaturation. Condensation ensues in the presence of the inert supporting gas, and clouds of droplets or solid particles appear depending on the chamber temperature. Light scattered from the clouds under strong illumination is examined with a telescope, and the presence of crystalline particles is detected by their capacity to scintillate, or ‘twinkle’. It is found that twinkling in clouds of alkali halides appears sharply as the temperature is lowered below the melting point, defining a critical temperature of solidification for each salt. Reasons are given for regarding this temperature as the freezing threshold of molten salt droplets, for which supercoolings of about 150 °C are indicated. A reduced temperature, given by the ratio of the freezing threshold to the melting point, has the value of approximately 0.8 for all the alkali halides examined.

Environmental conditions in the Pannonian zone can be characterized with moderate high temperature and partially water deficit during grain filling of spring barley, although low temperature and water deficit are possible also in period till anthesis. This study was conducted to evaluate the variation of the duration of the period from emergence to anthesis (VP), duration of grain filling period (GFP), plant height (PH), spikes number m-2 (SN), grains number spike-1 (GN), thousand grains weight (GW) and yield (YIL) in spring two-rowed barley in conditions of the Pannonian zone. All three factors; genotype, environment and the interaction GxY affected the studied traits. Average VP was 777 GDD, GFP 782 GDD, PH 78 cm, SN 523, GN 28.2, GW 43.2 g and YIL 6.26 t ha-1. Variation across varieties was higher than across growing seasons. Heritability varied from 0.66 for YIL to 0.94 for VP and GFP. This study confirmed that a sufficiently large genetic variability must be base for selecting appropriate varieties for the Pannonian zone conditions. In order to determine high yielding and quality barley extensive research in relation to breeding, variety choice for production and growing practice must be done.

AbstractA novel hydrogel wound dressing with semi-interpenetrating polymer network structure (semi-IPN) was prepared by radical polymerization of acrylic acid with potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as initiator and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linking agent in the presence of chitosan (CTS) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). Hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM displayed semi- IPN hydrogels' creased surface with some scale-like wrinkles, thus improving the absorptive capability which has been considered as a most important characteristic of wound dressings. It was found that the content of cross-linking agent and the mass ratio of PVP and CTS had much influence on the mechanical properties of the hydrogel, varying from brittle plastics to elastomer due to the different degrees of cross linking. Since tensile strength is partly in inverse ratio to the hydrogel absorbent capability, the article offers an analysis of varying material proportion in order to obtain an optimum properties of the hydrogel wound dressing .

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the main factors that influence the effects of pouring aggregate to plug a tunnel that has been inundated by groundwater to reduce the flow velocity. Moreover, a criterion for plugging the tunnel under infiltrating water to resist flow is proposed. A range analysis and analysis of variance both show that the influencing factors on the efficiency of plugging in descending order is the aggregate particle size, followed by initial velocity of the water flow, and then the water–solid mass ratio. The sedimentation process of the aggregate is likened to the deposition of solid particles into slurry in which the particles settle under gravitational force, thus accumulating at the bottom of the tunnel model due to the forces of the water flow and gravity. The critical velocity of the water that will transport the aggregate without settling can be used as a criterion to determine whether there has been a successful plug of the resistance to flow in the tunnel. The experimental results show that the critical velocity of fine aggregate is less than that of coarse aggregate, and the section with smaller sized aggregate or fine aggregate that resists water flow is flatter. In addition, the required minimum space between two pouring boreholes for a successful resistance to flow is discussed.
