The applying of burden materials containing titanium compounds in the blast furnace process and the processes of forming titanium carbides and nitrides has a directly impact on the physical and chemical properties of slag and pig iron. Thereby affecting the course of the process, its efficiency and economy. It is known that the dynamic viscosity coefficient of slag – with an increased titanium compounds content in the reducing conditions of the blast furnace - may rapidly change. The products of the reduction reaction, precipitation and separation of titanium compounds are responsible for the thickening effect of the slag and the problems of permeability of blast furnace, causing anomalies in the functioning of the unit. The presence of solid components (particles) in the melts determines the rheological character of the entire system. Authors have performed a rheological study of synthetic furnace slag concentration of TiO2 in the range of 6% to 30%. The measurements were performed at temperatures in the range between 1310-1490oC. The obtained results made it possible to carry out the rheological characteristics of analyzed liquid and semi-solid slag systems and draw of flow curves. Identifying the rheological character of semi-solid slag systems provides opportunities for the development of mathematical modeling of liquid phase flows in a dripping zone of the blast furnace, allowing e.g to indentify the unstable parts of a metallurgical aggregate.

Author have performed study of synthetic aluminosilicates slag concentration of TiO2 in the range up to 30%, systems were doped solids TiN also, it was made in order to assess the impact of the type forming areas/units of the SRO nature on the rheological identification mentioned systems. The high-temp rheometric measurements were performed at temperatures in the range between 1310-1490°C. The obtained results made it possible to carry out the rheological characteristics of analyzed liquid and semi-solid slag systems.

Abstract The rheological properties of liquid and semi-solid systems of slag and hot metal in a blast furnace are extremely important from the perspective of their dripping in the unit. The rheological nature and the values of the dynamic viscosity coefficient of liquid and semi-solid phases - slag and hot metal - determine the permeability of the zones in which those systems exist. The modelling of dripping processes and e.g. static and dynamic holding/retention of liquid in the bed, requires an accurate description of the rheological behaviour of slag and iron systems. Determining the liquid flow through the lump bed of the blast furnace is based on the assumption that liquids in the unit in the whole range of their occurrence are similar to a Newtonian ideal liquid. This study presents an analysis of the findings of high-temperature rheometric measurements of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO systems, liquid, semi-solid slags of the blast furnace type doped with TiO2 and solids in the form of TiN. The tests were performed within a temperature range of 1310-1490°C. Also measurement results for glycerol solutions with concentrations of 86% and 100% at the ambient temperature, simulating blast furnace slags with various contents of solids - PC, anthracite - are presented.

In polymer reinforced concrete, the Young’s modulus of both polymers and cement matrix is responsible for the detrimental properties of the concrete, including compressive and tensile strength, as well as stiffness. A novel methodology for solving such problems is based on use of ionizing radiation, which has proven to be a good tool for improvement on physical and chemical properties of several materials including polymers, ceramics, and composites. In this work, particles of 0.85 mm and 2.80 mm obtained from waste tire were submitted at 250 kGy of gamma radiation in order to modify their physicochemical properties and then used as reinforcement in Portland cement concrete for improving mechanical properties. The results show diminution on mechanical properties in both kinds of concrete without (or with) irradiated tire particles with respect to plain concrete. Nevertheless such diminutions (from 2 to 16%) are compensated with the use of high concentration of waste tire particles (30%), which ensures that the concrete will not significantly increase the cost.

Semiconductor Hg3In2Te6 crystals and their analogous are solid solutions of In2Te3 and HgTe. Hg3In2Te6 crystals are congruently melted as chemical compound. Like In2Te3 the Hg3In2Te6 crystal has cubic crystal lattice with stoichiometric vacancies in their crystal structure. The electroconductivity, photoconductivity, mechanical, chemical properties of the crystals do not deteriorate after their irradiation by γ-photons with energies up to 1 MeV and doses up to 1018 cm-2 , by electrons with energies up to 300 MeV and doses up to 1019 cm-2 and by mixed reactor irradiation (filtered slow neutrons) with doses up to 1019 cm-2 [1,2]. This feature is determined by high concentration (~1021 cm-3) of stoihiometric vacancies (Vs) in crystal structure, where every third In-cation node is empty. These Vs are electroneutral, they capture all impurity atoms in these crystals and kept them in electroneutral state too. On the other hand this feature doesn't allow to form direct p-n junctions in these crystals by introducing the impurities. However, we have developed p-n junction analogues in form of Schottki diodes and corresponding photodiodes with semitransparent metal layer on single crystal Hg3In2Te6 substrate that allows irradiation to get into active region preserving this way all the advantages compared to p-n junction.

The impact of various dilutions (2.5, 5, 10, 25 and 50%) of paint industry effluent on physico-chemical properties of soil and the germination, growth and dry matter productions of corn (Zea mays L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been studied. The effluent was acidic and had low BOD and COD values because of its low content of suspended solid. It contained high concentration of calcium, medium concentrations of nitrogen, sodium, potassium, sulphate, chloride and low concentrations of phosphorus, magnesium and bicarbonate. The trace element like Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb were measured in the μg L-1 level. On irrigation of soil with the effluent an increase in the water soluble salts, pH, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, nitrogen, phosphorus potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron contents of the soil for effluent concentrations of 2.5, 5 and 10% were observed but all these parameters were found to decrease on treatment of the soil with the effluent concentration of 25% and above. The effluent of the lower concentrations (2.5, 5 and 10%) enhanced the growth of both crops. However, negative effects on seed germination, dry matter production and the yield of both crops were found for the effluent concentration of 25% and above. doi: 10.3329/jbas.v32i1.2441 Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 32, No. 1, 41-53, 2008

The present study aims to investigate the corrosion characteristics of copper commonly encountered in the spark ignition (SI) engine fuel system with Malaysian bioethanol and gasoline blends. Static immersion tests in E0 (gasoline), E10 and E85 were carried out at room temperature for 1320 h. Mechanical, physical and chemical properties of copper was investigated before and after immersion tests. Investigations were carried out on change in morphological properties using optical microscope; change in chemical structure using FTIR; change in mass and volume by weight loss measurement; hardness changes using universal hardness tester; and change of chemical properties of the fuel blends using total acid number titration method. The test results showed that corrosion of copper was increased with the high concentration of ethanol in the blends.
