Theoretical Investigation of Thermodynamic Properties of the Al-Si-Fe Ternary Alloy.

Aiming at the current lack of thermodynamic parameters related to the preparation of aluminum-silicon-iron alloys from spent refractory materials in aluminum electrolytic cells, the Miedema model was used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of Al-Si, Al-Fe, and Si-Fe binary alloys. On this basis, the Toop model was combined to calculate the mixing enthalpy Δ, excess entropy , excess Gibbs free energy , and component activity α of Al-Si-Fe ternary alloys. The results show that Δ, , and of binary alloys are all negative values.

Non-Destructive Determination of Bayberry Sugar and Acidity by Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Si-Sensor and Low-Cost Portable Instrument Development.

The digitalization of information is crucial for the upgrading of the bayberry digital agriculture industry, while the low-cost information detection sensing equipment for bayberry are a bottleneck for the digital development of the industry. The existing rapid and non-destructive detection devices for fruit acidity and sugar content mainly use near-infrared and mid-infrared spectral characteristic for detection. These devices use expensive InGaAs sensor, which are difficult to promote and apply in the bayberry digital industry.

First-Principles Molecular Dynamics Simulation on High Silica Content NaAlF-AlO-SiO Molten Salt.

A new method for the disposal of the spent refractory materials by adding them directly to electrolytic cells requires our better knowledge of the NaAlF-AlO-SiO melt system. The development of computational materials science offers us a new way to avoid the limitation of the experiment under a strong corrosive environment at high temperatures. First-principles simulation is applied to study the structure information, electronic properties, and transport properties of the system.
