Research on the gain on ignition question for preparing ore with fusion sample preparation technique was done, and a new correction method was worked out. After fusion sample preparation, sulphide ore would have a lot of sulfate, which would change the sample matrix dramatically, and the matrix effect was corrected with errors. In this paper, a new solution to measuring gain on ignition was put forward, and it was committed step that the sample having gain on ignition was redefined by sample having loss on ignition. Through conversion, the gain on ignition was corrected by subtraction method, and the matrix effect was corrected by theoretical influence coefficients. The analysis results of redefinition samples were converted into the primal samples lastly. The project took copper concentrates as the experimental object, it was found that the gain on ignition of this method was obviously different from the gravimetric method, but through influence evaluation, this error had little effect on test results, and may be reduced by flux. After correction of the gain on ignition, the standard deviation of the elements calibration curves for Cu, Fe and S were less than 0.14%, 0.074% and 0.14% respectively, which were obviousely superior to 0.21%, 0.15% and 0.19%. The results got from this method were in satisfactory agreement with certified values.

As neutron yields increase at fusion facilities, a universal symptom the community must deal with is MeV neutron-induced backgrounds in cables running to diagnostics. On the first Gain >1 plasmas in the world, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) neutron time-of-flight (nToF) diagnostic registered significant cable backgrounds that compromised key performance measurements. The South Pole nToF is uniquely located inside the NIF Target Bay shield walls, ∼18 m from the fusion source, and consequently has long coaxial cable runs (>20 m) that see significant neutron fluence.

Inferring fusion nuclear burnwidths with low gain photomultiplier impulse response functions.

When an inertial confinement fusion implosion is compressed, it maintains thermonuclear density and temperatures for a very short time scale, about 100 ps. The Gamma Reaction History diagnostic measures the time evolution of the fusion burn, but its temporal resolution is limited by the use of a photomultiplier tube (PMT) to amplify the photon signal. Multichannel plate-based PMTs have a fast (∼120 ps) full-width at half-max impulse response function (IRF), but the time scale is similar to the incoming physics signal.

In the search for alternative energy carriers that can replace conventional fossil fuels, sustainably produced oxygenated hydrocarbons represent a promising class of potential candidates. An illustrative member of this class of alternative biofuels are oxymethylene ethers (OMEs). This study makes a contribution to this objective by investigating hydroxy ethers, specifically methoxymethanol, ethoxymethanol, and 2-methoxyethanol.

To investigate the combustion characteristics of non-stick coal and the formation patterns of main combustion products and radicals, this study initially conducted a TG-DSC experiment of non-stick coal. Subsequently, non-stick coal was characterized and analyzed using XPS and C NMR experiments, and a molecular model with the formula CHONS was constructed. Subsequently, the ReaxFF MD method was employed to simulate the combustion molecular dynamics of the non-stick coal periodic mixing model under varying oxygen content and temperature conditions.

Nowadays, there are many types of flame retardants, whether halogenated or halogen-free, that can improve the flame retardancy of wood. However, they continue to pose a significant threat to our environment and cause a substantial increase in the weight gain rates after treatment. It is highly desirable yet challenging to develop an eco-friendly and efficient flame retardant with low weight gain rates.
