Abstract: The horizontal continuous casting process has received a significant attention for near net shape casting of non ferrous metals and alloys. Numerical Simulation has been widely used for process design and optimization of continuous casting process. In the present study, a 3-dimensional heat flow model was developed to simulate the heat transfer and solidification in a horizontal b...

The application of a catalytic-activated carbon to the solidification/stabilization (S/S) process for immobilization of phenol and 2-chlorophenol and catalytic decomposition was investigated. The effect of the catalytic-activated carbon, in amounts of 0.25-1% (by dry sand wt.), on the leaching of phenol and 2-chlorophenol was studied. H2O2 was added as a source of oxygen in the amounts of 1 or ...

Compositionally graded bulk materials of organic polymer blends were prepared by using nonequilibrium self-organization processes with a uniaxial thermal gradient (Bridgman method). The Bridgman method was firstly applied to prepare two kinds of polymeric compositionally graded materials: a polymer/low molecular weight additive system (poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL)/ 4,49-thiodiphenol (TDP)) and a ...

The solidification/stabilization method was demonstrated to be an effective remediation technology for hazardous waste treatment. Three types of binding agents were tested in the present study view their potential use solidification contaminated sediments and soils – ordinary Portland cement (OPC), granulated ground blast furnace slag (GGBS) activated by OPC a Supersulfated (SSC) binders. An in...
