Formation of a protective layer against corrosion on Mg alloy via alkali pretreatment followed by vanillic acid treatment

Although Mg alloy possesses high specific strength, low density, and good biocompatibility, poor corrosion resistance hinders its further applications. In the present study, an innovative protective layer against corrosion was prepared on the AZ31 Mg alloy via alkali pretreatment followed by vanillic acid treatment. The alkali pretreatment supplied –OH for the AZ31 Mg alloy surface to react with vanillic acid. The vanillic acid treatment played a crucial role in enhancing the corrosion resistance due to the excellent ability to act as a barrier and retard aqueous solution penetration, which effectively isolated the underlying Mg alloy from the corrosive environment. The corrosion current density of alkali and vanillic acid-treated Mg alloy (AZ31V) almost showed two orders of magnitude lower values in comparison with that of the AZ31 Mg alloy, and the corrosion potential of AZ31V Mg alloy increased from −1.41 to −1.25 V. The immersion tests proved that there was no occurrence of severe corrosion. Hence, the alkali pretreatment and vanillic acid treatment may represent a promising method to improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloy.

某露天矿山边坡结构参数优化与支护设计

某露天矿山东帮边坡稳定性较差,已有12个区域出现大面积滑坡或垮塌,导致东帮边坡部分平台不连通,给矿山生产造成了严重的安全隐患。基于此,以边坡安全系数控制值为边坡稳定评判标准,采用极限平衡法、Geo-Slope软件计算边坡安全系数,分析边坡整体与局部的稳定性,并对不稳定区域进行参数优化研究,结果表明:东帮边坡整体滑坡的概率较低,但局部稳定性较差,需采取防护措施;边坡结构参数经优化后,边坡整体处于稳定状态。

Transformation of the reabsorption characteristics of lignite treated by low and high temperature drying process

Abstract

The reabsorption characteristics of the lignite treated by low and high temperature drying process were addressed in the paper. The information about the moisture form, functional groups, effective water-filled porosities and equilibrium moisture content of the lignite before and after the drying process was investigated using Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and a self-made reabsorption device, respectively. The results show that the low drying temperature (140, 190, 230?°C, 10?min, N₂) has little impact on the effective water-filled porosities of the resulted samples, whereas it has a great influence on the main oxygen-containing functional groups, which amount firstly decreases and then increases with the drying temperature increasing. In the case of the lignite samples dried under high-temperature (600, 700, 800?°C, 30?s, N₂), the amount of the effective water-filled porosity of the sample decreases and the amount of oxygen-containing functional groups increases as the temperature increasing. The reabsorption capability of the high temperature dried sample is much lower than that of the sample treated under low drying temperature. The reabsorption characteristics of the low-temperature dried samples are affected by the amount of the oxygen-containing functional groups, while the effective water-filled porosity is main factor for the lignite samples derived from high temperature drying process. Moreover, the work gives a good evidence that the high-temperature drying process is an effective choose for lignite upgrading.     

吴庄铁矿盘区间柱回采优化研究

基于吴庄铁矿盘间柱宽度不确定性、两侧均为充填体且高度大的现状，为安全高效回采盘区间柱，制定了盘区间柱两侧采场充填体取芯设计方案，并对充填体进行制样，进行了实验室试块抗压强度试验。试验结果表明：一步骤采场（矿柱）充填体强度整体符合设计强度要求，二步采场充填体强度整体偏低，盘区间柱宽度较设计变化较大，宽度极其不规整，整体呈上窄下宽的规律。鉴于盘区间柱宽度不规则、二步骤采场充填体强度低于预期、采场高度大和盘区间柱回采时不能大面积暴露的特点，采用留设一定厚度间柱和采用较小采场长度的措施进行回采方案制定，制定了小采场分段空场嗣后充填法回采方案。该方案的制定和实施，对于其他类似地下矿山三步骤间柱回采工程具有借鉴意义。     

HiPerCem水泥对刚玉-尖晶石浇注料抗渣性的影响

以板状刚玉、尖晶石细粉和活性α-Al2O3微粉为主要原料,使用HiPerCem水泥作为结合剂制备刚玉-尖晶石浇注料,对比研究了HiPerCem水泥与Secar71及CMA72水泥在浇注料中的凝结行为及其对浇注料常温物理性能、抗渣性能的影响.结果 表明,在保持引入浇注料中一铝酸钙含量为1.8％,尖晶石含量为10％的情况下,HiPerCem水泥结合浇注料的凝结速度居中,脱模及烘干强度较另外2种水泥结合浇注料的低.抗渣侵蚀实验表明,以HiPerCem水泥为结合剂的浇注料因引入的CaO含量较CMA72和Secar71水泥结合浇注料低,大尺寸气孔少,具有较好的抗渣性;而CMA72水泥结合浇注料因试样中大尺寸气孔比例较高,熔渣渗透严重,未能发挥出其水泥中微晶尖晶石相改善抗渣性的优势.     

复合外加剂改性盐石膏的研究

盐石膏的主要成分为无水硫酸钙,其活性差、凝结硬化慢、强度低,需要添加活性剂来激发盐石膏的活性。通过复合外加剂对盐石膏加以改性,并通过XRD和SEM对其作用机理做了分析。结果表明,单掺脱硫石膏和建筑石膏均能缩短盐石膏的凝结时间,建筑石膏的效果较好,但掺量不宜过高。复掺建筑石膏和缓凝剂时,两者比例要控制得当,适宜的建筑石膏和缓凝剂掺量分别为50%和0.10%~0.12%（质量分数）。分析可知,大掺量建筑石膏会增加盐石膏硬化体中二水相和针棒状晶体的含量;缓凝剂掺量的增加,会降低盐石膏硬化体中二水相的含量,棱形晶体增多,从而降低了盐石膏的强度。
