Experimental study of high-flow and low-expansion backfill material.

ABSTRACT: High-flow low-expansion backfill materials have been developed to improve difficult slurry pipeline transport and poor roof-contact effect of many filling materials. The fly ash content was fixed at 80%, with 8.5% - 9.5% mineral powder content, 8.5% - 9.5% lime, 2% - 3% desulfurized gypsum, 0.9% - 1.2% sodium carbonate, and 0.01% - 0.02% aluminum powder content. The prepared backfill material processed good fluidity, with the expansion rate of the hardened material reaching 2% - 3%, and compressive strength on 90 d reaching 4 MPa-5.5 MPa. SEM observations indicated that as the aluminum content increased, ettringite on bubble walls transformed from a fine-needle to needle-rod shape. Secondly, the hydration products of the system were mainly hydrated calcium silicate gel and ettringite, which interconnected and promoted the formation of the structure. The backfill material has extensive sources of raw materials, low cost, simple filling process, and good filling effect.

Experimental and mechanistic research on modifying the mechanic properties of the high water backfill material by electrochemical treatment.

Project description:To promote the engineering applications of high water backfill materials (HWBM) in mining, a series of experiments are performed to investigate the effects of the direct current (DC) electric field on the mechanic properties and electrical resistivity of HWBMs. Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations, the influence of electrochemical treatment on the hydration products and the microstructure of the HWBM was studied. The results show that the peak strength, elastic modulus, deformation modulus and electrical resistivity of the HWBM samples all first increased and then decreased with the increasing of the potential gradient, and the peak points appeared when the potential gradient was 0.2 V/cm. The anisotropy of content of ettringite and calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) increased betweent the anodic and cathodic regions of samples. Meanwhile, microstructure in the anodic region of the samples was more stable after electrochemical treatment, which indicates that the different variation of mineralogical compositions and microstructures in different regions of the samples are the primary factors affecting the mechanic properties and electrical resistivity of the HWBM. Therefore, the electrochemical method is a potential technology to modify the engineering properties of the HWBM.

Validation of the recycled backfill material for the landslide stabilization at a railway line.

Project description:In mountain areas landslides many times endanger safety of transport infrastructures, and these must be stabilized with retaining wall structures. In this paper the validation of a new composite as a backfill material for landslide stabilization with a large scale demo retaining wall is presented. The new composite was made from residues of paper industry, which uses for its production deinking process. New composite was validated with the laboratory tests, construction of small demo sites and at the end with a large demo retaining wall structure with a length of 50 m. It was concluded that the paper sludge ash and the paper sludge are in proportion 70:30, compacted on the optimal water content and maximum dry density, reached sufficient uniaxial compressive and shear strength. However, the composite's hydration processes required the definition of an optimal time between the composite mixing and installation. In 2019, the retaining wall structure from the new composite was successfully built. The large demo structure is an example of the knowledge transfer from the laboratory to the construction site, in which composite and installing technology could be verified.

An experimental study of the influence of lithology on compaction behaviour of broken waste rock in coal mine backfill.

Project description:The research aims to explore the influences of lithology on the compaction behaviours of broken waste rocks. For this purpose, a WAW-1000D servo test machine and a self-made bidirectional loading test system for granular materials were used to conduct axial and lateral compaction tests on four typical types of broken waste rocks: sandstone, mudstone, limestone and shale. On this basis, we analysed the relationships between lateral and axial stress with the strain in, and porosity of, the four types of broken waste rocks. In addition, the relationship of axial stress with lateral stress and lateral pressure coefficient, and the changes in the particle size distribution of broken waste rocks before and after compaction were discussed. The test results demonstrated that the samples of higher strength were found to have low lateral and axial strains as well as a lower porosity in axial and lateral loading tests, while samples of lower strength showed low lateral stress and lateral pressure coefficient under axial load. After being compacted, the samples of the four types of broken waste rocks were found to have a higher proportion of small particles, indicating some particle crushing. Moreover, the samples of lower strength were broken to a greater extent.

The analysis and application of granular backfill material to reduce surface subsidence in China's northwest coal mining area.

Project description:In China's northwest coal mining area, the excavation of shallow buried thick coal seams has caused serious damage to the phreatic water layer and induced deterioration of the ecological environment. Backfilling is a basic method of controlling the loss of groundwater and reducing surface subsidence. In order to reduce the porosity of the backfill material and control the compression ratio of the backfill body, the grain gradation of the local aeolian sand was studied based on the geological conditions of the shallow buried coal seam in the Yulin mining area, Shaanxi province. Subsequently, aeolian sand was selected as the backfilling aggregate, and tests were implemented. The optimum proportion and slurry concentration of the backfill material were then obtained. The engineering application shows that the strength and stability of the backfill body based on the close packing theory can satisfy the requirements of supporting the overlying strata, and the integrity of overburden strata is competent. The maximum accumulated surface subsidence was measured to be 38mm, indicating that the aeolian sand-based backfill material in shallow and thick underground coal seam mining is able to protect the eco-environment and control the geo-environmental hazards, which are critical for the sustainable development of the mining industry and economic growth.

Low-loss optical waveguides made with a high-loss material.

Project description:For guiding light on a chip, it has been pivotal to use materials and process flows that allow low absorption and scattering. Based on subwavelength gratings, here, we show that it is possible to create broadband, multimode waveguides with very low propagation losses despite using a strongly absorbing material. We perform rigorous coupled-wave analysis and finite-difference time-domain simulations of integrated waveguides that consist of pairs of integrated high-index-contrast gratings. To showcase this concept, we demonstrate guiding of visible light in the wavelength range of 550-650 nm with losses down to 6 dB/cm using silicon gratings that have a material absorption of 13,000 dB/cm at this wavelength and are fabricated with standard silicon photonics technology. This approach allows us to overcome traditional limits of the various established photonics technology platforms with respect to their suitable spectral range and, furthermore, to mitigate situations where absorbing materials, such as highly doped semiconductors, cannot be avoided because of the need for electrical driving, for example, for amplifiers, lasers and modulators.

Lattice Boltzmann numerical simulation and experimental research of dynamic flow in an expansion-contraction microchannel.

Project description:This paper applies the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to a 3D simulation of micro flows in an expansion-contraction microchannel. We investigate the flow field under various inlet flow rates and cavity structures, and then systematically study the flow features of the vortex and Dean flow in this channel. Vortex formation analysis demonstrates that there is no observable vortex generated when the inlet flow rate is low enough. As the inlet flow rate increases, a small vortex first appears near the inlet, and then this vortex region will keep expanding until it fully occupies the cavity. A smaller cavity width may result in a larger vortex but the vortex is less influenced by cavity length. The Dean flow features at the outlet become more apparent with increasing inlet flow rate and more recirculation regions can be observed in the cross-section under over high inlet flow rate. In order to support the simulation results, some experimental processes are conducted successfully. It validates that the applied model can accurately characterize the flow in the microchannel. Results of simulations and experiments in this paper provide insights into the design and operation of microfluidic systems for particle/cell manipulation.

An experimental and modeling study of the low- and high-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane.

Project description:The experimental study of the oxidation of cyclohexane has been performed in a jet-stirred reactor at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1100 K (low- and intermediate temperature zones including the negative temperature-coefficient area), at a residence time of 2 s and for dilute mixtures with equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1, and 2. Experiments were carried out at quasi-atmospheric pressure (1.07 bar). The fuel and reaction product mole fractions were measured using online gas chromatography. A total of 34 reaction products have been detected and quantified in this study. Typical reaction products formed in the low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane include cyclic ethers (1,2-epoxycyclohexane and 1,4-epoxycyclohexane), 5-hexenal (formed from the rapid decomposition of 1,3-epoxycyclohexane), cyclohexanone, and cyclohexene, as well as benzene and phenol. Cyclohexane displays high low-temperature reactivity with well-marked negative temperature-coefficient (NTC) behavior at equivalence ratios 0.5 and 1. The fuel-rich system (? = 2) is much less reactive in the same region and exhibits no NTC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first jet-stirred reactor study to report NTC in cyclohexane oxidation. Laminar burning velocities were also measured by the heated burner method at initial gas temperatures of 298, 358, and 398 K and at 1 atm. The laminar burning velocity values peak at ? = 1.1 and are measured as 40 and 63.1 cm/s for Ti = 298 and 398 K, respectively. An updated detailed chemical kinetic model including low-temperature pathways was used to simulate the present (jet-stirred reactor and laminar burning velocity) and literature experimental (laminar burning velocity, rapid compression machine, and shock tube ignition delay times) data. Reasonable agreement is observed with most of the products observed in our reactor, as well as the literature experimental data considered in this paper.

Experimental investigation of Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille flow at low Taylor and Reynolds numbers.

Project description:Flow patterns of a Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille flow were studied at low axial Reynolds and rotational Taylor numbers (Re ≤ 10.5, Ta ≤ 319). The radius ratio of the inner and outer cylinders was 0.804 and the ratio of the length of the annulus to the gap width was 44.5. Complete map of the studied flow regimes was elaborated. The axial and azimuthal components of the wall shear rate γ were measured at the outer fixed cylinder using a three-segment electrodiffusion probe. The components of the wall shear rate of helices have never been measured in previous investigations. Spatio-temporal description of multiple flow patterns was obtained using flow visualizations and simultaneous measurements of wall shear rate components. The flow structures include Taylor vortices, helices winding in the same direction as the base flow or in the opposite direction, helices that were stagnant or moving in the axial direction, smooth or with superposed azimuthal waves, among others. The influence of different flow structures on the wall shear stress components is discussed with and without axial base flow. It was found that the wall shear stress is a function of Ta but no significant dependence on Re was observed for the studied flow regimes and that the mean wall shear stress increases with the number of azimuthal waves. It was also noted that the ED probes provide a more detailed information about flow patterns than torque measurements and visualizations described in the literature.

An Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Retention of Low and High Molecular Weight Sulfonated Polyacrylamide Polymer.

Project description:Polymers are often added with water as a viscosifier to improve oil recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs. Polymer might be lost wholly or partially from the injected polymer solution by adsorption on the grain surfaces, mechanical entrapment in pores, and hydrodynamic retention in stagnant zones. Therefore, having a clear picture of polymer losses (and retention) is very important for designing a technically and economically successful polymer flood project. The polymer adsorption and mechanical entrapment are discussed more in depth in the literature, though the effect of hydrodynamic retention can be just as significant. This research investigates the effect of the hydrodynamic retention for low and high molecular weight (AN 113 VLM and AN 113 VHM) sulfonated polyacrylamide polymer. Two high permeability Bentheimer core plugs from outcrops were used to perform polymer corefloods. Polymer retention was first determined by injecting 1 cm3/min, followed by polymer core floods at 3, 5, and 8 cm3/min to determine the hydrodynamic retention (incremental retention). A higher molecular weight polymer (AN 113 VHM) showed higher polymer retention. In contrast, hydrodynamic retention for lower molecular weight (AN 113 VLM) was significantly higher than that of the higher molecular weight polymer. Other important observations were the reversibility of the hydrodynamic retention, no permanent permeability reduction, the shear thinning behavior in a rheometer, and shear thickening behavior in core floods.
