Heavy metal stabilization via copyrolysis of comodified vermiculite with municipal sludge/aged refuse: Comprehensive analysis of hazards and characteristics of multiple coexisting heavy metals.

Mg impregnation, intercalation-exfoliation, and thermal activation methods were employed to create various types of modified vermiculite (MV), with their combination creating linked-modified vermiculite (LMV). Copyrolysis of MV with municipal sludge (MS)/aged refuse (AF) in a fluidized bed improved heavy metal (HM) stability compared to copyrolysis of original vermiculite, with LMV demonstrating superior performance compared to other types of MV. The HM retention rate, potential ecological risk assessment, and form distribution analysis supported the efficacy of the approach.

Promoting the stability and adsorptive capacity of FeO-embedded expanded graphite with an aminopropyltriethoxysilane-polydopamine coating for the removal of copper(ii) from water.

In this study, three magnetic graphites, namely, EGF, GAF, and GFA + KH550, were prepared, which were loaded either with FeO or with FeO and PDA or with FeO, PDA, and KH550 onto expanded graphite. ATR-FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and TGA characterization results showed that EGF, GAF, and GFA + KH550 were successfully prepared. Under the same initial copper concentration, the removal rates of copper ions by EGF, GFA, and GFA + KH550 were 86.

Numerical Research on the Flow Fields in the Power Generation Channel of a Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamic System.

The flow fields in the power generation channel of a magnetohydrodynamic system, which uses a mixture of liquid metal as the power generation medium and a low-boiling-point working medium as the carrying medium, were numerically investigated in the present paper. The influences of the magnetic field intensity, void fraction, and bubble diameter were examined, respectively. The results indicate that an increase in the magnetic field intensity will enhance the turbulence intensity and may reduce the stability of the flow fields, whereas increasing the void fraction will contribute to better flow stability in the power generation channel.

Influences of the Geometry of the Scavenge Pipe on the Air-Oil Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer in an Aero-Engine Bearing Chamber.

In order to improve the characteristics of the air-oil two-phase flow and heat transfer in the scavenge pipe of an aero-engine bearing chamber, this paper presents several scavenge pipes with different cross-sectional geometries, by numerically investigating the processes of the air-oil two-phase flow and heat transfer, in comparison to a circular pipe. The findings indicate that the tripetal cross-section shows the best heat-transfer effect, while the four-petal cross-section has the lowest flow resistance. Under the same working condition and the equal wetted perimeter, the tripetal cross-section has an 8.
