A novel method for visualizing vacuum black box: Simulation and experimental analyses on flow field of Pb-Ag alloy in vacuum distillation
With the continuous reduction of mineral resources, it is imperative to recover Ag and Pb from secondary resources. Vacuum metallurgy is an important metal recovery method. The vacuum furnace is a ' black box ', and the flow field is blurred, which hinders the efficient extraction of metals. This study investigates Pb-Ag alloy distillation (1073–1273 K) through coupled simulations and experiments. The results show that the volatilization and condensation of metal vapor can be effectively simulated in the temperature range of this study. Simulations demonstrated strong agreement with experimental data, showing ≤12 % deviation in volatilization rates. The position of the condensation tray for collecting Pb can be quickly determined based on the simulation results, so as to collect more and purer Pb. The simulation model for flow field of alloy system established in this study is reliable and can be used to visualize vacuum furnace and guide the vacuum separation of alloys, thereby improving metal direct yield and purity. This method can be used to guide the development of new vacuum metallurgy technologies and equipment in industry, greatly reducing the number of experimental explorations, saving time, and reducing costs.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
