This paper addresses the influence of fluidized bed combustion fly ash (FBCA) and further liquefying additives on the formation of structure and on the resulting properties of self-compacting grouts based on clay soil. In order to give the best account of the influence of individual input materials, tests were conducted on samples without the use of fluidized bed combustion fly ash. Clay soil (Cl) and cement were used as input materials, and fluidized bed combustion fly ash (10% and 30%) and a liquefying additive (sodium carbonate 0.1%) were used as an admixture. It has been experimentally determined that the use of 10% FBCA with clay soil is most suitable for achieving the optimal spillage parameter of self-compacting grout (class SF2 (660–750 mm) and class SF3 (760–850 mm)). It was also found that fluidized bed combustion fly ash and the liquefying additive have a significant influence on the formation of the structure of the self-compacting grout and, due to their presence, the compressive strength of the samples increased up to 0.5 MPa after seven days of hardening. The reaction between 0.1% of sodium carbonate and clay soil increased the electrokinetic potential, which reduced the viscosity of the self-compacting grout. Within the research work, the verification of the developed self-compacting grout in situ was also carried out.

As a kind of granular waste with complex composition and alkali corrosiveness, concrete slurry waste (CSW) has severe recycling limitations in the ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Considering this, a new type of geopolymer, prepared by granulated blast furnace slag/fly ash, concrete slurry waste, and powdered activators (sodium carbonate and different silicon sources including sodium metasilicate pentahydrate and silica fume), was adopted to conduct a comparative study with the OPC counterpart. In this study, the homogenized CSW was mixed in the OPC and geopolymer with a constant ratio of 50 wt%, respectively. Then the properties were studied in terms of the flowability, setting times, mechanical strengths, and microstructures. The results showed that better flowability (200 mm) could be achieved in the obtained geopolymer than in the OPC reference group (95 mm) by increasing the powdered activators. The setting time of the OPC was significantly shortened due to the addition of CSW. The strengths of geopolymer were supported by the produced C-A-S-H and carbonates, with less chemically bonded water than the hydration products in the reference group. The dominant size of pores in the hardened geopolymer was much smaller than that in the OPC group which was 80 nm. Silica fume could be the alternate of the sodium metasilicate pentahydrate and had an insignificant negative impact on the fresh and hardened properties and microstructures of the geopolymer when the incorporation rate was within 5%.

The CIPW norm gives results which closely resemble the mode for basalt and many other quartz-saturated igneous rocks, but which depart widely from the mode for alkaline and peralkaline assemblages. A modified norm, deleting halite, thenardite, sodium metasilicate, potassium metasilicate, sodium carbonate, and larnite, and substituting sodalite, enigmatite, eudialyte, riebeckite, andradite, and Ca-tschermaks molecule (CaAl2SiO6), gives a good representation of most alkaline and peralkaline igneous rocks while giving results identical to the CIPW system for common rocks. Estimates of silica saturation, differentiation indices, and disposition of alkalies are substantially improved.

Background: V2O5–WO3(MoO3)/TiO2 catalyst, as the core of selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (SCR) has some drawbacks, such as high working temperature window (300-400oC), the toxicity of V-based catalyst and so on. Therefore, development of the catalyst with better low temperature denitration catalyst and weaker toxicity is necessary. Objective: Highly dispersed MnOx/CNTs catalysts with excellent denitration activity at 80-180oC, and weaker toxicity of MnOx. It is worth noting that an in-situ precipitation method based on the reaction of manganese acetate and sodium carbonate, which is advantageous to the in-situ deposition of active component, and the catalytic activity. Methods: MnOx/CNTs catalysts with different Mn/C molar ratio were fabricated by in-situ precipitation method due to the reaction of manganese acetate and sodium carbonate. And the microstructure, crystalline property, the content of surface element, valence state, redox property, and catalytic activity was confirmed by FESEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, TPD, and fixedbed reactor. Results: The as-prepared MnOx/CNTs catalysts exhibit outstanding low temperature SCR activity. And the NO conversion of the optimum 1.2% MnOx/CNTs catalyst reached 57.4-89.2% at 80-180oC, which resulted from the amorphous MnOx catalysts, higher ratio of Mn4+/Mn3+ and OS/(OS+OL). Conclusion: MnOx/CNTs catalysts have been prepared by the in-situ precipitation method based on the reaction of manganese acetate and sodium carbonate. And the resultant MnOx/CNTs catalysts presented excellent low temperature denitration activity between 80oC and 180oC. Among them, the 1.2% MnOx/CNTs catalyst exhibited the first rate low temperature denitration activity, and the denitration activity attained 57.4-89.2%, which may be owing to the presence of the weakly crystalline or amorphous MnOx, higher ratio of Mn4+/Mn3+ and OS/(OS+OL).

Seawater treated with lime and sodium carbonate in different proportions to reduce magnesium and calcium contents is used in flocculation and sedimentation tests of artificial quartz and kaolin tailings. Solid complexes were separated from water by vacuum filtration, and factors such as lime/sodium carbonate ratio, kaolin content, flocculation time, and flocculant dose are evaluated. The growth of the aggregates was captured in situ by a focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) probe. Solid magnesium and calcium complexes are formed in raw seawater at pH 11, impairing the performance of flocculant polymers based on polyacrylamides. The results show that the settling rate improved when the treatment’s lime/sodium carbonate ratio increased. That is, when a greater removal of magnesium is prioritized over calcium. The amount of magnesium required to be removed depends on the mineralogy of the system: more clay will require more significant removal of magnesium. These results respond to the structural changes of the flocs, achieving that the more magnesium is removed, the greater the size and density of the aggregates. In contrast, calcium removal does not significantly influence flocculant performance. The study suggests the necessary conditions for each type of tailing to maximize water recovery, contributing to the effective closure of the water cycle in processes that use seawater with magnesium control.

ABSTRACTA mission to rendezvous with the rings of Saturn is studied with regard to science rationale and instrumentation and engineering feasibility and design. Future detailedin situexploration of the rings of Saturn will require spacecraft systems with enormous propulsive capability. NASA is currently studying the critical technologies for just such a system, called Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Electric propulsion is the only technology which can effectively provide the required total impulse for this demanding mission. Furthermore, the power source must be nuclear because the solar energy reaching Saturn is only 1% of that at the Earth. An important aspect of this mission is the ability of the low thrust propulsion system to continuously boost the spacecraft above the ring plane as it spirals in toward Saturn, thus enabling scientific measurements of ring particles from only a few kilometers.
