The bulk analysis of water is performed by a standard set of spectral and electrochemical methods. The rare-earth content was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Chemical composition of ground deposits and secondary mineral formation products – by neutron activation analysis. Results. The paper demonstrates rare-earth elements behavior in aqueous medium, ground deposits and products of secondary mineral formation. Different approaches to rare-earth elements rationing in waters and solid sediments showed comparability of lanthanide distribution spectra to each other and made it possible to identify some features of the rare-earth elements distribution pattern in different environments. In the waters, there are positive anomalies of europium and gadolinium and negative anomaly of cesium. Gadolinium anomalies were detected in ground deposits, and europium in secondary mineral formation products. The high migration activity of the entire considered series of rare-earth elements in the solution coming from the holding deposits was established.

Increasing the service life of mining tools is an important task in the development of geology associated with the investigation of new ceramic materials for functional purposes. The ability to reduce wear and thermal and chemical effects of rocks on the working elements of mining equipment determines the vector of development of the use of super-hard, high-strength and refractory ceramics. At the same time, the task is set to increase the fracture toughness of the materials used to solve the problem of maintaining the operability of equipment under conditions of critical deformations. To accomplish this task, it is necessary to study the patterns of consolidation of ceramic materials and search for the optimal combination of consolidation parameters to achieve improved physical and mechanical properties. Aim. To develop a method for producing high-density durable ceramics based on commercially available zirconium nitride powders using spark plasma sintering under vacuum conditions, to study the phase composition and physical and mechanical properties of the resulting samples. Methods. X-ray phase analysis of the studied samples, nanoindentation, microscopic analysis. Results and conclusion. The authors have studied the physical and mechanical properties of zirconium nitride consolidated by spark plasma sintering at 2000℃, a pressure of 30–60 MPa and a holding time at a given temperature of 5–10 minutes. Qualitative and quantitative X-ray phase analysis was carried out, within which the content of the main phase of zirconium nitride and zirconium dioxide phase was determined. It was found that an increase in the pressure applied during consolidation and holding time contributes to better compaction and a decrease in the porosity of the samples from 8.52 to 2.72%. It was found that with a decrease in porosity, the elastic modulus increased in the range from 320 to 378 GPa, and the hardness from 7.3 to 10.4 GPa. At the same time, by extrapolating the data, it was established that non-porous zirconium nitride samples will have an elastic modulus of 394 GPa and a Martens hardness of 11.56 GPa. For the samples under study, critical stress intensity factors were determined. It was established that at a porosity of less than 5%, the critical stress intensity factor of zirconium nitride consolidated by spark plasma sintering has values of at least 4 MPa m1/2.","PeriodicalId":513946,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University Geo Assets Engineering","volume":"34 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141814307","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}

Understanding the mechanisms of liquid droplets interaction with each other is important for many industrial and technical applications related to solving a range of problems like slag removal in a high-temperature environment, obtaining components of the desired fraction in the food industry, etc. Aim. Establishment of the main patterns of suspension droplets interaction in a gas-air environment with temperature variation. Methods. Using shadow high-speed video recording, the main patterns of the binary collision of suspensions droplets were determined. The paper introduces the results of experimental studies of the characteristics of collisions of droplets of coal-water suspensions in a gas-air environment with a temperature of 90–120°C. Parameters of the generated droplets: radius 1.0–2.2 mm, velocity 0.5–2.0 m/s. Results and conclusions. The authors have determined the modes of collision of droplets of suspensions (coagulation and separation) and the main characteristics of secondary fragments and constructed the maps of the modes of interaction of drops of suspensions with each other when varying the concentration of solid particles in the suspension, the temperature of the gas-air environment and the time the target drop spent in a gas-air environment with an elevated temperature. The conditions were established for the coagulation of droplets, as well as their intensive secondary grinding to intensify their drying, ignition and combustion in boiler furnaces. It was established that an increase in the temperature of the gas-air environment leads to a significant change in the size and properties of droplets, as well as to the occurrence of oscillatory phenomena in the system. It is substantiated that collision of droplets of suspensions in a gas-air environment with elevated temperature is complex and multi-parametric. Its characteristics depend on a combination of factors (surface tension and liquid viscosity, size and shape of droplets, speed of their movement, density and viscosity of gas-air environment).

The necessity to know the conditions and forms of W concentration in coals for solving a number of scientific and engineering problems at complex development of coal deposits. Aim. Complex estimation of W modes of occurrence in coal for development of measures for rational ecologically safe use of coal. Methods. Correlation analysis, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, coal group analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, instrumental neutron activation analysis. Results and conclusions. The modes of occurrence of W in coal were studied by a complex of methods. In the majority of W-enriched coal deposits, a negative significant correlation of its content in coal and coal ash with ash yield was found, indicating its association with organic matter. Using the method of coal group composition analysis, it was found that the main carrier and concentrator of W in the studied lignite deposits is organic matter. The contribution of the mineral phase in general in W-rich coals and in coals with its normal content does not exceed 20%, usually less than 5%. These conclusions are also confirmed by infrared spectroscopy data, according to which no more than 15% of the metal in the samples studied is associated with mineral phases. The association of W with high molecular humic acids predominates. In anomalously W-enriched lignites, the humic acid phase represents 76 to 88% of the gross metal content. The role of bitumen and low-molecular-weight humic acids in the balance of W is marginal at their different levels in the coals. Mineral phases of W are not characteristic of coal. Nano-microinclusions of scheelite, wolframite, hubnerite and ferberite were recorded as isolated occurrences. The main mineral phases are associated with Fe and Mn hydroxides, in which W is presented as a trace element in the amount of 1–5% together with other elements (Ge, As, etc.). In more metamorphosed bituminous and anthracite coals, authigenic mineral formations were found, represented by tungstite, phyllotungstite, native W and complex Fe-Mn-Ca-W-O mineral phases.","PeriodicalId":513946,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University Geo Assets Engineering","volume":"123 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141811989","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}

An analysis of the current state of the global energy agenda shows that the problem of anthropogenic impact on the planet’s atmosphere by thermal energy facilities is one of the most important for humanity. At the same time, the growth in electricity consumption stimulates the introduction of ever new power generating capacities. For a long time, it was believed that the solution to this problem was the large-scale introduction of non-traditional renewable energy sources (wind generators and solar panels) into the overall balance of electricity generation. However, it is now becoming obvious that renewable energy sources cannot fully cover all electricity needs. The latter creates incentives for the commissioning of new thermal power plants, usually operating on coal fuel. But the main problem of coal energy – its anthropogenic impact – still remains unresolved. This situation creates the prerequisites for the development of new “clean” coal technologies with a full cycle of sequestration of combustion products. One of the most promising technologies for burning coal with low emissions is the combustion of coal in the composition of coal-water fuel. However, coal-water fuel technology has a number of disadvantages. One of the most significant is the high ignition delays of typical (with a characteristic size of 3–5 mm) droplets of coal-water fuel. One of the most promising methods for solving this problem is spraying coal-water fuel in an ultra-fine state (with a characteristic droplet size of 0.1–1 mm). Aim. Experimental study of the conditions and characteristics of crushing droplets of coal-water fuel in a high-speed air flow. Object. Coal-water fuel prepared on the basis of lean coal. Method. Special experimental stand to establish the main characteristics and conditions of dispersion of coal-water fuel droplets. Results.

The need to evaporate large quantities of brines at potash industry enterprises. Evaporation of brines in surface evaporators is difficult due to the encrustation of heat exchange surfaces by salt deposits.

However, in this type of apparatus, malfunctions may occur due to uncontrolled solid phase deposition.

It is found that during the time under consideration, a stationary mode of solid particle deposition is achieved. The authors have detected liquid flow velocity oscillations, leading to fluctuations in the mass flow rate of solid particles at the bottom of the setup. It was found that the velocity at the tip of the flue gas jet escaping from the burner nozzle, as well as the pressure at the nozzle section, have a similar form of oscillation.
