Transport modeling of sedimenting particles in a turbulent pipe flow using Euler–Lagrange large eddy simulation

A volume-filtered Euler–Lagrange large eddy simulation methodology is used to predict the physics of turbulent liquid–solid slurry flow through a horizontal periodic pipe. A dynamic Smagorinsky model based on Lagrangian averaging is employed to account for the sub-filter scale effects in the liquid phase. A fully conservative immersed boundary method is used to account for the pipe geometry on a uniform cartesian grid. The liquid and solid phases are coupled through volume fraction and momentum exchange terms. Particle–particle and particle–wall collisions are modeled using a soft-sphere approach. Three simulations are performed by varying the superficial liquid velocity to be consistent with the experimental data by Dahl et al. (2003). Depending on the liquid flow rate, a particle bed can form and develop different patterns, which are discussed in light of regime diagrams proposed in the literature. The fluctuation in the height of the liquid-bed interface is characterized to understand the space and time evolution of these patterns. Statistics of engineering interest such as mean velocity, mean concentration, and mean streamwise pressure gradient driving the flow are extracted from the numerical simulations and presented. Sand hold-up calculated from the simulation results suggest that this computational strategy is capable of predicting critical deposition velocity.     

焙烧温度对铁基催化剂催化浆态床F-T合成反应性能的影响

 采用连续共沉淀与喷雾干燥成型技术相结合的方法制备了微球形Fe-Cu-K-SiO2催化剂,并考察了焙烧温度对催化剂的结构和织构性质的影响. 结果表明,催化剂具有较好的织构和结构热稳定性,粘结剂SiO2起到了分散和稳定α-Fe2O3晶相的作用. 随着焙烧温度的升高,催化剂的比表面积逐渐减小,α-Fe2O3晶粒逐渐增大,催化剂体相中的Cu和K原子向表面富集,且Cu向表面的迁移更明显; 同时,催化剂中的α-Fe2O3和CuO相发生了一定程度的离析,Cu的助剂作用减弱,使催化剂在合成气气氛下难于还原碳化. 催化剂在n(H2)/n(CO)=0.67,GHSV=2.0 L/(g·h),p=1.5 MPa和θ=250 ℃下的浆态床F-T合成反应评价结果表明,升高焙烧温度,催化剂的初活性和最高活性下降,但运行稳定性提高,而且有效地抑制了CH4的生成,明显促进了烃产物向高碳数方向移动. 反应600 h后卸载下的催化剂的形貌观测表明,催化剂的磨损主要是由化学磨损引起的,提高焙烧温度可明显改善其抗磨损性能,焙烧温度高于400 ℃时,催化剂具有较好的抗磨损性能.     

Elemental analysis of silicon based minerals by ultrasonic slurry sampling electrothermal vaporisation ICP-MS

Ultrasonic slurry sampling electrothermal vaporisation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (USS-ETV-ICP-MS) was applied to the elemental analysis of silicate based minerals, such as talc or quartz, without any pre-treatment except the grinding of the sample. The electrothermal vaporisation device consists of a tungsten coil connected to a home-made power supply. The voltage program, carrier gas flow rate and sonication time were optimised in order to obtain the best sensitivity for elements determined. The relationship between the amount of sample in the slurry and the signal intensity was also evaluated. Unfortunately, in all cases, quantification had to be carried out by the standard additions method owing to the strong matrix interferences. The global precision of the proposed method was always better than 12%. The limits of detection, calculated as three times the standard deviation of the blank value divided by the slope of the calibration curve, were between 0.5 ng/g for As and 3.5 ng/g for Ba. The method was validated by comparing the concentrations found for Cu, Mn, Cr, V, Li, Pb, Sn, Mg, U, Ba, Sr, Zn, Sb, Rb and Ce using the proposed methodology with those obtained by conventional nebulisation ICP-MS after acid digestion of the samples in a microwave oven. The concentration range in the solid samples was between 0.2 μg/g for Cr and 60 μg/g for Ba. All results were statistically in agreement with those found by conventional nebulisation.

Synthesizing UHMWPE Using Ziegler-Natta Catalyst System of MgCl2(ethoxide type)/ TiCl4/tri-isobutylaluminum

Summery: A Ziegler-Natta catalyst of MgCl₂ (ethoxide type)/TiCl₄ has been synthesized. In order to obtain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tri-isobutylaluminum which is less active to chain transfer was used as cocatalyst. Slurry polymerization was carried out for the polymerization of ethylene while, dilute solution viscometry was performed for the viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) measurement. The effect of [Al]/[Ti] molar ratio, temperature, monomer pressure and polymerization time on the Mv and productivity of the catalyst have been investigated. The results showed increasing [Al]/[Ti] ratio in the range of 78–117, decreased the Mv of the obtained polymer from 7.8 × 10⁶ to 3.7 × 10⁶ however, further increase of the ratio, resulted in decreased of by much slower rate up to [Al]/[Ti] = 588. The higher pressure in the range of 1–7 bars showed the higher the Mv of the polymer obtained, while increasing temperature in the range of 50 to 90 °C decreased the Mv from 9.3 × 10⁶ to 3.7 × 10⁶. The Mv rapidly increase with polymerization time in the first 15 minutes of the reaction, this increase was slowly up to the end of the reaction (120 min). Increasing [Al]/[Ti] ratio raised productivity of the catalyst in the range studied. Rising reaction temperature from 50 to 75 °C increased the productivity of the catalyst however, further increase in the temperature up to the 90 °C decreased activity of the catalyst. Monomer pressure in the range 1 to 7 bars yields higher productivity of the catalyst. Also by varying polymerization conditions synthesizing of UHMWPE with Mv in the range of 3 × 10⁶ to 9 × 10⁶ was feasible.

A Simple and Fast Method for Manganese Determination in Antihypertensive Drugs by Slurry Sampling Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

A simple and rapid procedure for the determination of manganese in anti‐hypertensive drugs is proposed. The samples were treated with dilute nitric acid (1.2% v/v) with stirring using a vortex stirrer to yield a slurry. To determine the best conditions for analysis by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS), a planning factorial was initially employed that demonstrated that the non‐use of chemical modifiers and the use of lower pyrolysis temperatures were more appropriate. Next, the pyrolysis and atomization temperature curves were obtained. The best pyrolysis and atomization temperatures encountered were 500 and 2200°C, respectively. Calibration was performed by matrix matching. The characteristic mass was 0.70±0.14 pg (the recommended mass was 0.60 pg); the limits of detection and quantification were 0.23 and 0.77 µg l^?1, respectively. The precision obtained in the intra‐ and inter‐assay studies of the drug spiked with 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 µg l^?1 of Mn did not exceed 11% (n=7). Recovery studies of the drug spiked with three levels (n=7) of Mn yielded results between 101.0±4.5 and 116.3±9.7%. The results of an analysis of a certified urine sample (two levels of Mn) agreed at a 95% level of confidence. Forty‐eight antihypertensive drug samples were analyzed, and the results varied from 2.9 ng to 1.9 µg of Mn per capsule^?1.

水基料浆冷冻浇注成型多孔陶瓷孔结构研究

对水基料浆冷冻浇注成型多孔陶瓷中孔隙结构特征进行了探讨.研究发现:采用水基料浆冷冻浇注成型的多孔陶瓷孔隙为薄片状或层状,这构成了冷冻浇注成型多孔陶瓷的基本形貌特征.较快的冷冻速率可以减小冷冻浇注成型多孔陶瓷的孔径尺寸.料浆中粉体颗粒特别是微小颗粒的存在会对结冰形貌产生影响,颗粒粒径减小会导致冰晶尺寸减小,相应的孔径变小;但尺寸在几十纳米的微小颗粒会促进冰晶生长,导致孔径变大.
