This study used polyaluminum silicate ferric (PSAF) to coagulate suspended solids (SS) in drilling wastewater, agglomerating them into flocs. The interactions between bubbles and flocs of varying sizes were observed at the micro-scale using a custom-designed system. The effects of floc size on induction time, bubble relative velocity and floc-bubble interaction force were analyzed. The results indicate that small-size flocs (=50 μm) contribute to the stabilization of the liquid film while sliding along the bubble surface. In contrast, large-size flocs (=170 μm), due to their higher settling velocities, undergo multiple ‘approach-bounce’ cycles, which significantly reduce the contact time with bubbles and impair the adhesion efficiency. As floc size increases, the induction time is markedly extended. Bubbles maintain relatively stable sliding velocities on small-size flocs, while larger flocs induce pronounced velocity fluctuations, thereby heightening the separation instability. The interaction force between the floc and the bubble increases as the deformation of the floc intensifies but subsequently decreases due to the gravity of the floc.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 6","pages":"Article 104873"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of lower working face mining on the plastic zone distribution and oxidation characteristics of the coal pillar in the upper coal seam based on numerical simulation, experimental research, and other means. The study found that as the closely spaced coal seam advances, the deformation characteristics of the upper coal seam coal pillar can be roughly divided into three stages: intact and stable, deformed and damaged, and crushed and unstable. The damaged and oxidized coal pillars have an earlier critical temperature point for CO and C₂H₄ by 10–20 °C during secondary oxidation, and the lower oxygen concentration limit of the coal decreases. After the coal pillar is crushed and oxidized, the surface structure becomes rougher, increasing the contact area with oxygen. The proportion of oxygen-containing functional groups inside the coal increases, and the oxidation activity of the coal increases. This shows that the coal pillar crushing process has a certain promoting effect on coal oxidation.

Here, the phase transition temperature of VO₂ is tuned between −34.8 and 66.0 °C by changing the W concentration, spanning approximately 100 °C. Gaussian fitting for the (011) peak of VO₂(M1) reveals its structure transition from the monoclinic phase to the tetragonal phase in W-doped VO₂ powder.
