Fabrication and mechanical properties of large-scale SiC impeller via vacuum gelcasting and pressureless sintering

Impeller is the key part of centrifugal pump to convey liquid. And combined with the engineering practice, we fabricated two types of open and semi-open SiC ceramic impellers with diameter of 100 mm and 160 mm via gelcasting and pressureless sintering. B4C and C were used as the sintering additives and sprayed drying granulation method was adopted for the starting SiC powder processing. Given the size and shape complexity of impeller, the optimized pH value, dispersant content, and solid-loading content for the fabrication of the SiC impellers were determined to be 10-11, 0.8 wt%, and 40 vol%, respectively. For the open impeller, blade height, cover board thickness, drying shrinkage, and sintering shrinkage are 10.5 mm, 4 mm, 10.3%, and 21.3%, respectively. For the semi-open ones, the corresponding parameters are 41 mm, 10 mm, 10.3%, and 21.3%, respectively. The average density of the two types of impellers is 3.15 g/cm3, and the mechanical properties of both impellers, including average hardness, flexural strength, compressive strength, and fracture toughness are 2478 HV, 436 MPa, 2093 MPa, and 3.17 MPa·m1/2, respectively. All variation coefficient values are smaller than 5%, which indicates a good uniformity in densities and mechanical properties of both the impellers.

纳米Co/rGO磁性复合吸附材料的制备及对Cu2+的吸附性能

以改进Hummer法制备的薄片状氧化石墨烯(GO)为载体和模板负载钴离子，然后采用原位还原法制得纳米金属Co/石墨烯磁性复合吸附材料(Co/rGO)，并将其应用于对Cu2+的吸附和脱除，以期为高效可复用的铜离子脱除剂的合成与应用提供指导。实验结果证实，Co/rGO复合材料具有超顺磁性，能够很方便的使用磁铁进行分离并在无磁场情况下振荡分散。Co/rGO复合材料对Cu2+具有稳定的吸附/脱附性能，实验条件下对Cu2+的最大吸附容量达到117.5 mg/g且5 min内实现吸附平衡，远优于其原料GO的60 min吸附容量27.6 mg/g。本工作系统考察了NaOH加入量、络合剂种类、溶剂种类等关键因素对Co粒子在rGO载体上形貌和分布特性的影响，比较了不同合成条件下的复合材料对Cu2+吸附效果的影响，并对优选条件下制备的Co/rGO复合材料进行了FT-IR, XRD, SEM表征。研究结果表明，纳米Co/rGO磁性材料对Cu2+的吸附过程更符合Freundlich模型，属于多层吸附。室温下吸附焓ΔH=17.81 kJ/mol，吸附反应平衡常数Kθ=3.65。当初始Cu2+浓度为39.22 mg/L时，对Cu2+的吸附率为93.47%，五次吸附/脱附循环后吸附容量仍保持在初始值的94%，每次吸附后溶液中残余Cu2+浓度均满足钴电解液对杂质铜离子的浓度去除要求(5 mg/L)或GB 8978-1996污水综合排放标准3级(2 mg/L)，有望在相关领域发挥作用。     

退火温度对0Cr25Al5热轧态盘条钢组织及性能的影响

采用显微组织分析和分子动力学模拟等方法研究了退火温度对0Cr25Al5热轧态盘条钢组织及性能的影响。结果发现,晶粒尺寸随温度的升高逐渐增加并趋于稳定,但是断后伸长率和断面收缩率在950 ℃突然大幅度下降。试样组织形貌在800 ℃和950 ℃退火温度下的OM及SEM分析结果未见明显差别。于是使用分子动力学模拟对0Cr25Al5钢三元体系的自由能进行了计算,发现随着B2结构的FeAl或者DO3结构的Fe₃Al有序相尺寸的增大,系统自由能先减小后增大,其最小值随着退火温度的升高向有序相颗粒尺寸减小的方向移动。在1273 K的高温下仍然会保留60 nm左右大小的有序相颗粒。因此,推测0Cr25Al5钢在大于950 ℃的温度范围内韧性下降是由于60 nm左右的B2结构的FeAl或者DO3结构的Fe₃Al有序相造成,与晶粒尺寸无关。因此,针对该钢种应进行低温退火促使基体组织回复以消除缺陷,从而抑制Fe、Al等基体原子的扩散。

Migration and distribution of saline ions in bauxite residue during water leaching

Bauxite residue, a highly saline solid waste produced from digestion of bauxite for alumina production, is hazardous to the environment and restricts vegetation establishment in bauxite residue disposal areas. A novel water leaching process proposed here was used to investigate the dynamic migration and vertical distribution of saline ions in bauxite residue. The results show that water leaching significantly reduced the salinity of bauxite residue, leaching both saline cations Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and anions CO^2?₃, SO^2?₄, HCO^?₃. Na⁺ and K⁺ migrated from 40–50 to 20–30 cm of the column, presenting a high migration capacity. The migration capacity of Ca²⁺ was lower and accumulated at 30–40 cm of the column. CO^2?₃ initially distributed at 20–30 cm of the column, subsequently transported to 30–40 cm of the column, and finally returned to 20–30 cm of the column along with evaporation. SO^2?₄ was originally distributed at 40–50 cm, but finally migrated to 20–30 cm of the column. Nevertheless, HCO^?₃ remained at the bottom of the column, and its migratory was less affected by evaporation.     

Supply chain network design under the risk of uncertain disruptions

Facility disruptions in the supply chain often lead to catastrophic consequences, although they occur rarely. The low frequency and non-repeatability of disruptive events also make it impossible to estimate the disruption probability accurately. Therefore, we construct an uncertain programming model to design the three-echelon supply chain network with the disruption risk, in which disruptions are considered as uncertain events. Under the constraint of satisfying customer demands, the model optimises the selection of retailers with uncertain disruptions and the assignment of customers and retailers, in order to minimise the expected total cost of network design. In addition, we simplify the proposed model by analysing its properties and further linearise the simplified model. A Lagrangian relaxation algorithm for the linearised model and a genetic algorithm for the simplified model are developed to solve medium-scale problems and large-scale problems, respectively. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of proposed models and algorithms through several numerical examples.
