Inspired by biomineralization, biomimetic mineralization is used as a bridge tool to integrate biological organisms and functional materials together, which can be beneficial for the development of diversified functional organism-material hybrids. In this review, recent progresses on the techniques of biomimetic mineralization for organism-material combinations are summarized and discussed. Based upon these techniques, the preparations and applications of virus-, prokaryotes-, and eukaryotes-material hybrids have been presented and they demonstrate the great potentials in the fields of vaccine improvement, cell protection, energy production, environmental and biomedical treatments, etc. We suggest that more researches about functional organism and material combination with more biocompatible techniques should be developed to improve the design and applications of specific organism-material hybrids. These rationally designed organism-material hybrids will shed light on the production of \"live materials\" with more advanced functions in future. Statement of significance This review summaries the recent attempts on improving biological organisms by their integrations with functional materials, which can be achieved by biomimetic mineralization as the combination tool. The integrated materials, as the artificial shells or organelles, confer diversified functions on the enclosed organisms. The successful constructions of various virus-, prokaryotes-, and eukaryotes-material hybrids have demonstrated the great potentials of the material incorporation strategy in vaccine development, cancer treatment, biological photosynthesis and environment protection etc. The suggested challenges and perspectives indicate more inspirations for the future development of organism-material hybrids.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"747 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74652889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three types of pores were studied and separated – cluster (in the place of particles), inter-cluster, and natural pores of the material. The cluster models of particles packing at the stages of pressing were developed (from bulk density, or the formation of temporary structures to the formation of stable structures). The number of cluster faces in the models depends on coordination number λ, which means tetrahedral (λ=4) clusters at the initial stage and cuboctahedral (λ=12) at the later ones. Based on the Gaussian rule, for spheres packing, it was found that the most correct form of clusters for later pressing stages is cuboctahedral, as the pores between the spheres at the maximum tight packing with the coordination number of 12 have the shape close to cuboctahedrons and octahedrons, but with concave faces. Based on the difference between the volume of spheres, for which particles and clusters in the model were accepted, based on calculated volumes of intercluster octahedrons and cuboctahedrons, the volume of pores in the shape of the Steiner octahedron or cuboctahedron was calculated. In calculating the strength of adhesion between the particles, the proper porosity of spongy titanium is determined through the assumption that a part of the powder is a conglomerate that is formed from hollow spheres of the regular shape at the stage of titanium reduction by the magnesium thermal method. Accordingly, in the formula for calculating the strength of adhesion, the force that influences a particle will consist of the difference between forces of elastic deformation and the destruction of hollow spheres contained in the deformed volume. The developed models were proved by the results of practical research. Actual measurements show the average exponential ratio of the porosity to pressing pressure, which makes it possible to calculate s maximum inter-cluster porosity at the maximum compaction of 66 % and the compression factor of the studied material of 0.15","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87643376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the research, general modular three-dimensional models of the tool surface, the processes of removing the allowance and the shaping of the cylindrical surface are used on the basis of three unified modules: tool, shaping and orientation. Computer simulation is also used to build a three-dimensional model of the milling process of a cylindrical surface with an oriented tool. A graphic scheme of milling a cylindrical surface with an oriented tool has been created. The developed cylindrical module for shaping the tool surface, which is described by the product of the displacement matrices along the corresponding axes and the surface of the machined part, is represented by the product of the radius of the tool vector and its orientation module in the shaft coordinate system. The resulting graph of the distribution of the specific productivity of the milling process along the tooth profile of the tool during processing with crossed axes of the cutter and part. An analysis of this graph shows that the milling method with an oriented tool makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the shaping process due to uniform wear of the tool. The intersection angle of the cylindrical surface and the tool is also determined, the value of which is taken from the condition of ensuring the maximum removal of the material layer with uniform loading of the end part of the cutter. For this, a three-dimensional model of the process of milling a cylindrical surface with crossed axes of the tool and the part is developed, in which rough milling is carried out by the end part of the tool, and the finish – by the peripheral. In the course of the research, it is found that when finishing milling, the value of the rotation angle of the cutter is taken from the condition that the peripheral part of the cutter is fully loaded. Improving the processing efficiency is achieved by crossing the axes of the tool and the part, which allows to program the intersection point, and uniform wear of the cutter, which improves the quality of the machined surface. It is also possible to use high-speed milling to provide increased processing productivity.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78980240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To specify the material of construction based on corrosion resistance alone is not enough, but mechanical properties also need to be considered when selecting pump materials for different pumping stages in the production process for fertilizers. The effect of different components on the abrasion and corrosion resistance in the microstructure of various types of cast irons used in the industry is decisive as well.

Excess process heat is taken away mainly by evaporation of water from slurry. There are two main ways of cooling – evaporation under vacuum and air cooling method. Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of air cooling method are: it’s rather simple, and requires low capital cost for implementation, use of cooling water for condensation of secondary steam is excluded, cooling tower isn't required for cooling water, etc. \u0000 \u0000Since 1980-s JSC “NIUIF” is engaged in elaboration and improvement of air cooling systems for slurry cooling. As a result of these researches air cooling units of various types for dihydrate and hemi-hydrate processes of WPA were constructed. Use of air cooling method is an essential part of elaborated by JSC “NIUIF” hemi-hydrate WPA process technology from Kola apatite concentrate, as well as high-temperature dihydrate process from Karatau phosphate rock which are carried out at temperatures of 90-94°C. \u0000 \u0000Modern system of air cooling is comprised of: low pressure (LP 800-1000 mm) slurry supply axial pump of high capacity (5000-10000 m3/h), air cooling unit, FDF and/or IDF. Due to optimization of heat&mass exchange conditions and design of air cooling unit (ACA), moisture saturation of cooling air can be achieved up to high extent (up to 400 g/kg of dry air) that allows to minimize its consumption. High consumption of slurry for cooling provides rather low gradient of temperatures (∆t ≤ 3°C) at inlet and outlet from ACA and rather low manual labor efforts for cleaning of the equipment from incrusting sediment. The loop of supply for cooling can be combined with circulation loop inside the reactor that contributes to homogenization of slurry in reactionary volume. \u0000 \u0000Air cooling units for slurry cooling based on researches by JSC “NIUIF” are successfully introduced at modernized and newly constructed WPA systems in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Lithuania.
