According to MIT’s lecture, every two layers should combine into one having an equivalent degree of consolidation or having an equivalent thickness of consolidation. From this valuable guideline, several procedures are developed to tackle the specific problem of the settlement of a multi-layered foundation. This study also introduces an idea for coupling the layers, concerning the drainage path during combining every two layers, and some practical points are suggested.","PeriodicalId":20943,"journal":{"name":"Research & Development in Material Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79640482","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}

The scrubbing process of flue gases from roasting furnaces, for example, produces a large amount of arsenic-containing acid sewage, and the latter, in turn, produces arsenic sulfide slag during the sulfide precipitation process. The arsenic sulfide slag is highly toxic and cannot be disposed of directly to the environment. It needs to be converted to some environment-friendly forms before disposal. With increasingly stringent requirements on environmental protection, more attention is being paid to the eco-friendly treatment of arsenic waste. The oxidation of arsenic sulfide slag can be the appropriate process. In the present paper, methods for treating arsenic sulfide residue waste are suggested; these include ferric sulfate oxidation leaching, hydrothermal treatment assisted by ferric nitrate, alkali leaching with air oxidation, sodium carbonate alkaline leaching, hydrogen peroxide oxidation leaching, etc. The possibilities of suggested processes in the industrial environment are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":20943,"journal":{"name":"Research & Development in Material Science","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87076034","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}

For example, ionic liquid research has been extensively explored as alternative solvents to highly volatile and/or caustic traditional organic solvents. While these solvents have been classified as having a range of melting points (below 100 °C), many researchers have targeted relatively low melting point materials for their desired applications. Similar materials with higher melting points were often deemed inefficient and often discarded and declared useless. However, several groups have begun to explore the advantages of solid-phase ionic materials, known as a groups of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS). Many advantages arise through implementation of these solid-state ILs analogues in different fields of research. These advantages include 1) maintaining ease of synthesis using IL chemistry, 2) exploring easy tunability of solid-state materials, and 3) providing researchers with ability to easily develop materials on the nanoscale. Herein, we provide an overview of advantages of using GUMBOS for materials research applications.","PeriodicalId":20943,"journal":{"name":"Research & Development in Material Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85091611","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}

LIDAR monitoring is a fast method for estimating the pollution, respectively the mass concentration of PM in the atmospheric ground bioaerosol. The careful study of air pollution becomes especially relevant as the PM are potential carriers of solid-state particles dangerous to health and biologically active components. The present report summarizes our experience [1-3] on how the intricate complex of particles with different content and size found in the aerosol might affect the LIDAR monitoring results on the long distance. LIDAR subject of this study is capable of scanning and mapping the horizontal and vertical aerosol distributions and the transport of air masses with a range resolution along the Line of Sight (LOS) of 30m and a beam divergence of ~1 mrad at operational distances of about 25km [3]. The laser emitter (wavelength of 510.6nm) is a pulsed CuBr vapor laser with a repetition rate of 5-10kHz at a 15-ns pulse duration. The receiving system comprises a Carl Zeiss Jena Cassegrain telescope (aperture of 20cm and a focal distance of 1m), a 2-mm-wide focal diaphragm, an interference filter with a 2-nm-wide passband, and an EMI 9789 photo-multiplier tube operating in a photon-counting mode along the entire operational distance. The receiving system is fully computerized for collecting and processing the LIDAR data using a PCO 1001 1024-channel digital interface system for signal strobing and accumulation. The LIDAR monitoring was calibrated based on the data from a sampling absorber located just below the spot of the LIDAR beam with a flow rate of 100m /h, where the particles are collected on a filter with pore size 3µ m (FILTER-LAB, Material MCE, Lot.180509006).","PeriodicalId":20943,"journal":{"name":"Research & Development in Material Science","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80143345","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}

Analysis of the results allows us to assert that the specific surface area of blast-furnace slags for each type of material decreases during the storage of crushed powders.
