This research aimed to degrade free cyanide (CNL) present in the tailing of a metallurgical plant that processes gold-bearing ores and uses sodium cyanide (NaCN) as a leaching reagent. Sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) and sodium metabisulfite with hydrogen peroxide (Na2S2O5 + H2O2) were used as oxidizing agents. To evaluate the effect of the factors, we used a factorial design with three independent variables: stirring time, reagent excess percentage, type of reagent and a dependent variable: CNL degradation (mg/L). According to the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the variables influenced significantly CNL degradation, being the most relevant the reagent excess percentage and according to the results, the maximum CNL degradation was 97.67% when 400% of Na2S2O5excess was added with 4 hours of stirring.","PeriodicalId":22331,"journal":{"name":"TECCIENCIA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49040381","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 combinatorial nature and complexity of the problem motivates the exploration of other alternatives solutions to the traditionally used. Initially, the fuzzy logic controller structure (number of input variables, rules and output) is determined in accordance with the objective functions to be optimized. Triangular membership functions are selected for the batch size, the delivery date, the processing time, the number of tools required in each operation, and the priority of the processing the jobs. The fuzzy rules base is defined, and the controller model is formulated (fuzzification, evaluation and defuzzification). The algorithm is developed in Matlab’s ®Simulink ®Fuzzy logic toolbox, achieving better results than those obtained with other methods.","PeriodicalId":22331,"journal":{"name":"TECCIENCIA","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67507866","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}

In this article the characterization of the mechanical and micro-structural properties of an AISI-SAE 4140 steel is presented. To carry out the metallographic characterization, stress, hardness, abrasive wear and X-ray diffraction tests, the AISI-SAE 4140 steel was mechanized and prepared delivered in a hardened state (quenched and tempered) produced by Shah Alloys Ltd. making test pieces with their corresponding ASTM standards and nitrifying by plasma half of these at 500oC for 10 hours. A thickness of 6.78 μm was obtained from the nitride layer that the material acquired. A microstructural constitution was found formed by martensite and austenite retained in the base material, maintaining the same structure with the thermochemical process. The nitrided surface showed in its atomic chemical composition (At%) the presence of 8.04% N, 1.69% O and 1.38% Al (element of great importance to achieve great hardness), revealing an increase of 18.55% of surface hardness and 78.87% of wear resistance.

The thickness of the electroplated coating was 15 μm, and N2 was used as precursor gas, with a flow of 100 ml/min at a pressure of 1.2 kPa to produce a CrxNy coating. The existing phases were determined by means of X-ray diffraction, and the corrosion resistance was evaluated via potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in a three-electrode electrochemical cell. Characterization via XRD determined the presence of chromium nitrides of type Cr2N, with an important orientation along the plane (300) associated with the partial pressure of N2 and the thermodynamic behavior. The corrosion resistance results showed a significant decrease in the corrosion current density compared with those exhibited by samples chromed by electroplating with AISI H13 steel without nitriding. These results, coupled with the sealing of characteristic microcracks of the electroplated chrome coating, could improve the corrosion resistance, because of the existence of the CrxNy phase.","PeriodicalId":22331,"journal":{"name":"TECCIENCIA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42427079","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}

In order to carry out the research a characterization based on mechanical tests, rheology, and spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy. This was done with the objective of identifying changes in the prosthesis before and after being irradiated with high energy x-ray photons. To perform the study, 4 breast implants were used.
