Experimental Investigation of the Attachment Performance between Coal Particle and Bubble.

ABSTRACT: Attachment behavior is a key component of flotation and has a decisive influence on flotation performance, and the experiment research on the attachment between mineral particles and bubbles still needs further research. In this work, a particle-bubble attachment apparatus and multiple target tracking software were developed. Coal particles were used as the subjects, and the effect of particle properties on the attachment performance was studied from the perspective of the particle group. The particle-bubble attachment experiments indicated that the collision position had an effect on the attachment efficiency, and the attachment efficiency decreased with an increase in the collision angle. The efficiency-weighted attachment angle was proposed to quantitatively describe the attachment performance of coal samples. The efficiency-weighted attachment angle of low-density coal samples was greater than that of high-density coal samples. For particles with different sizes, the efficiency-weighted attachment angle of fine particles was greater than that of coarse particles. Furthermore, SDS weakened the attachment performance between coal particles and bubbles via adsorption on the bubble, and the efficiency-weighted attachment angle decreased as the concentration of the SDS solution increased. CTAB adsorbed on coal particles and bubbles, and the efficiency-weighted attachment angle first increased and then decreased with increasing CTAB concentration.

Experimental Technique to Study the Interaction Between a Bubble and the Particle-Laden Interface.

Project description:An experimental apparatus was developed based on the Langmuir-Blodgett trough design to investigate the compression of monolayers of micron size spherical glass particles at the air-water interface and the interaction of an air bubble with the monolayers. The setup modifies the regular Langmuir-Blodgett trough by using a deep and clear glass cell. The cell allowed both the optical observation of the particle monolayer and the insertion of a capillary to produce a bubble under the layer of particles. Surface pressure-area (?-A) isotherms were measured while the particles rearranged at the interface during compression and expansion for different pH values and particle wettability. We also analyzed the motion of particles in the monolayer by the surface pressure and packing factor to gain further insights into the behavior of particles during the coalescence process. The results suggested that the coalescence of a bubble was dependent on the formation of a defect in the particle layer and the defect size was both strongly influenced by particle hydrophobicity and the pH of the subphase.

Particle-Bubble Interactions: an Investigation of the Three-Phase Contact Line by Atomic Force Microscopy.

Project description:The dynamics of the three-phase contact line during particle-bubble interactions determine the stability of particle-bubble aggregates in flotation. The interaction of particles and sessile gas bubbles can be studied by colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM). This paper demonstrates a method to obtain the contact angle, the position of the three-phase contact line on the particle, and the bubble profile by utilizing the full information contained in AFM force-distance curves, i.e., force and CP-position information as well as the work done to move the three-phase contact line on the CP-particle. The proposed method does not require any assumption of a constant contact angle or a constant opening angle. This is achieved by the combined solution of the particle force balance and an expression for the work required to move the three-phase contact line over the colloid probe. The applicability to AFM force-distance measurements was demonstrated for the interaction of a hydrophobic SiO2 or a hydrophobic Al2O3 colloidal probe particle with sessile gas bubbles having radii between 45 and 80 μm.

Experimental investigation of performance differences between coherent Ising machines and a quantum annealer.

Project description:Physical annealing systems provide heuristic approaches to solving combinatorial optimization problems. Here, we benchmark two types of annealing machines-a quantum annealer built by D-Wave Systems and measurement-feedback coherent Ising machines (CIMs) based on optical parametric oscillators-on two problem classes, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model and MAX-CUT. The D-Wave quantum annealer outperforms the CIMs on MAX-CUT on cubic graphs. On denser problems, however, we observe an exponential penalty for the quantum annealer [exp(-αDW N 2)] relative to CIMs [exp(-αCIM N)] for fixed anneal times, both on the SK model and on 50% edge density MAX-CUT. This leads to a several orders of magnitude time-to-solution difference for instances with over 50 vertices. An optimal-annealing time analysis is also consistent with a substantial projected performance difference. The difference in performance between the sparsely connected D-Wave machine and the fully-connected CIMs provides strong experimental support for efforts to increase the connectivity of quantum annealers.

Co3O4 Supraparticle-Based Bubble Nanofiber and Bubble Nanosheet with Remarkable Electrochemical Performance.

Project description:Hollow nanostructures based on transition metal oxides (TMOs) with high surface-to-volumetric ratio, low density, and high loading capacity have received great attention for energy-related applications. However, the controllable fabrication of hybrid TMO-based hollow nanostructures in a simple and scalable manner remains challenging. Herein, a simple and scalable strategy is used to prepare hierarchical carbon nanofiber (CNF)-based bubble-nanofiber-structured and reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based bubble-nanosheet-structured Co3O4 hollow supraparticle (HSP) composites (denoted as CNF/HSP-Co3O4 and RGO/HSP-Co3O4, respectively) by solution self-assembly of ultrasmall Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) assisting with polydopamine (PDA) modification. It is proved that the electrochemical performance of Co3O4 NPs can be greatly enhanced by the rationally designed nanostructure of bubble-like supraparticles combined with carbon materials as excellent electrodes for supercapacitors. The favorable structure and composition endow the hybrid electrode with high specific capacitance (1435 F g-1/1360 F g-1 at 1 A g-1/5 mV s-1) as well as fantastic rate capability. The asymmetric supercapacitors achieve an excellent maximum energy density of 51 W h kg-1 and superb electrochemical stability (92.3% retention after 10 000 cycles). This work suggests that the rational design of electrode materials with bubble-like superstructures provides an opportunity for achieving high-performance electrode materials for advanced energy storage devices.

Biomineralization by particle attachment in early animals.

Project description:Crystallization by particle attachment (CPA) of amorphous precursors has been demonstrated in modern biomineralized skeletons across a broad phylogenetic range of animals. Precisely the same precursors, hydrated (ACC-H2O) and anhydrous calcium carbonate (ACC), have been observed spectromicroscopically in echinoderms, mollusks, and cnidarians, phyla drawn from the 3 major clades of eumetazoans. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) here also shows evidence of CPA in tunicate chordates. This is surprising, as species in these clades have no common ancestor that formed a mineralized skeleton and appear to have evolved carbonate biomineralization independently millions of years after their late Neoproterozoic divergence. Here we correlate the occurrence of CPA from ACC precursor particles with nanoparticulate fabric and then use the latter to investigate the antiquity of the former. SEM images of early biominerals from Ediacaran and Cambrian shelly fossils show that these early calcifiers used attachment of ACC particles to form their biominerals. The convergent evolution of biomineral CPA may have been dictated by the same thermodynamics and kinetics as we observe today.

Precise micro-particle and bubble manipulation by tunable ultrasonic bottle beams.

Project description:This paper reports a method to generate tunable bottle beams using an ultrasonic lens, by which the bottle position can be precisely adjusted with the change of the acoustic frequency. Therefore, the position of a single particle or bubble in liquid can be manipulated without using phased array which is costly and huge with complex circuits. Furthermore, we introduced this method to multiple bubble manipulation using acoustic holography. The bottle properties against frequency are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. It is shown that the bottle position depends almost linearly on the operating frequency, which provides a basis for the precise manipulation of bubbles and particles. In addition, the relationship between the acoustic radiation force and the drag force under different incident acoustic pressures is considered, establishing a limit on the moving velocity of the trapped particles. The ultrasonic field observation is further demonstrated by Schlieren imaging system. The proposed method has potential biomedical applications, such as more flexible cell manipulation and targeted drug delivery in vivo, as well as potential applications in the study of chemical reactions between micro objects.

Investigation on the Mass Distribution and Chemical Compositions of Various Ionic Liquids-Extracted Coal Fragments and Their Effects on the Electrochemical Performance of Coal-Derived Carbon Nanofibers (CCNFs).

Project description:Coal-derived carbon nanofibers (CCNFs) have been recently found to be a promising and low-cost electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors. However, the knowledge gap still exists between holistic understanding of coal precursors derived from different solvents and resulting CCNFs' properties, prohibiting further optimization of their electrochemical performance. In this paper, assisted by laser desorption/ionization (LDI) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technologies, a systematic study was performed to holistically characterize mass distribution and chemical composition of coal precursors derived from various ionic liquids (ILs) as extractants. Sequentially, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the differences in chemical properties of various coal products significantly affected the surface oxygen concentrations and certain species distributions on the CCNFs, which, in turn, determined the electrochemical performances of CCNFs as electrode materials. We report that the CCNF that was produced by an oxygen-rich coal fragment from C6mimCl ionic liquid extraction showed the highest concentrations of quinone and ester groups on the surface. Consequentially, C6mimCl-CCNF achieved the highest specific capacitance and lowest ion diffusion resistance. Finally, a symmetric carbon/carbon supercapacitor fabricated with such CCNF as electrode delivered an energy density of 21.1 Wh/kg at the power density of 0.6 kW/kg, which is comparable to commercial active carbon supercapacitors.

From particle attachment to space-filling coral skeletons.

Project description:Reef-building corals and their aragonite (CaCO3) skeletons support entire reef ecosystems, yet their formation mechanism is poorly understood. Here we used synchrotron spectromicroscopy to observe the nanoscale mineralogy of fresh, forming skeletons from six species spanning all reef-forming coral morphologies: Branching, encrusting, massive, and table. In all species, hydrated and anhydrous amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles were precursors for skeletal growth, as previously observed in a single species. The amorphous precursors here were observed in tissue, between tissue and skeleton, and at growth fronts of the skeleton, within a low-density nano- or microporous layer varying in thickness from 7 to 20 µm. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements, however, indicated that the mature skeletons at the microscale were space-filling, comparable to single crystals of geologic aragonite. Nanoparticles alone can never fill space completely, thus ion-by-ion filling must be invoked to fill interstitial pores. Such ion-by-ion diffusion and attachment may occur from the supersaturated calcifying fluid known to exist in corals, or from a dense liquid precursor, observed in synthetic systems but never in biogenic ones. Concomitant particle attachment and ion-by-ion filling was previously observed in synthetic calcite rhombohedra, but never in aragonite pseudohexagonal prisms, synthetic or biogenic, as observed here. Models for biomineral growth, isotope incorporation, and coral skeletons' resilience to ocean warming and acidification must take into account the dual formation mechanism, including particle attachment and ion-by-ion space filling.

Pozzolanic activity experimental dataset of calcined coal gangue.

Project description:The coal gangue in this dataset was subjected to a series of processes, including drying, crushing, and milling. Subsequently, the coal gangue powder was subjected to high-temperature calcination in a muffle furnace, with a heating rate of 4 ℃/min. The pozzolanic activity of coal gangue powder was investigated at various calcination temperatures (600 ℃, 700 ℃, 800 ℃, 900 ℃) and different holding times (1h, 2h). Cement mortar specimens containing calcined coal gangue powder were prepared, and their compressive and flexural strengths were tested to evaluate the reactivity of the calcined coal gangue. In addition, the Rapid, Relevant and Reliable (R3) activity test was conducted to test the reactivity. The thermogravimetric analyzer was employed to determine the TG-DTG curves of coal gangue powder. X-ray diffractometer, Fourier infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope were utilized to investigate the microstructure of activated coal gangue powder at different temperature ranges. These data can be used for determining the optimal calcination scheme of coal gangue to maximize its potential as a partial cement clinker replacement in cement production, thereby contributing to cost reduction and carbon emission mitigation.
