The H2S retention with Ca-based sorbents in a pressurized fixed-bed reactor (1 MPa) has been analyzed, obtaining the breakthrough curves with a dolomite and two different limestones, different particle size (+0.8-1.0 mm, +1.25-1.6 mm, and +1.6-2.0 mm), and both at calcining (1173 K) and non-calcining conditions (1123 K). The effect of the stoichiometric time in the breakthrough curves has been ...

Alumina-magnesium castable refractories are used for the inner walls of molten steel ladles. The main cause damage to these is thermal shock caused by rapid temperature changes during loading and unloading steel. Therefore, resistance coefficient R'''' a parameter that expresses shock, evaluation effective fracture energy important improving R''''. In this refractory, CaO·6Al2O3 (CA6) formed fr...

Impact ejecta from the Albion Formation are exposed in northern Belize. The ejecta come from the outer portion of the continuous ejecta blanket of the Chicxulub crater, which is located 360 km to the northwest. The basal unit of the Albion Formation is a 3⁄41-m-thick clay and dolomite spheroid bed composed of up to four discrete flows. The clay spheroids are altered impact glass, and the dolomi...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results obtained in the 1996 performance assessment (PA) for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) are presented for two-phase flow in the vicinity of the repository under disturbed conditions resulting from drilling intrusions. Techniques based on Latin hypercube sampling, examination of scatterplots, stepwise regression analysis, partial correlation analy...

A three stage flotation scheme was employed to beneficiate a low grade. high dolomitic phosphate ore from Florida. The reagent scheme used. developed on the basis of our previous fundamental studies. consisted of oleic acid added as collector. mineral oil and ethoxylated sulfonate as co-collectors and 1. hydroxy ethylidene 1.1diphosphonic acid (Dequest 2010) as francolite depressant. The three ...

The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...

The disposal of spent refiactory materials has become a major problem for metals producers. The main issue surrounding refractory disposal is the elimination of the hazardous components of refractories, most commonly chrome-bearing materials and fluoride and cyanide in spent pot-liners. The various approaches to pollution prevention involve re-design to eliminate or significant reduction in was...

In this study, production possibility of glass and glass-ceramic produced from granite was investigated. The composition of granite based glass bath mixture was 50 wt% granite, 25 wt% dolomite and 25 wt% sodium carbonate. Composition that was grounded and mixed in a ball mill for 2 h was melted at 1500 ◦C for 1 h. Glass samples were heat treated for crystallization to produce glass-ceramic mate...
