Carbonaceous material (brown coal) modified by pyrolysis, activation, and enrichment in nitrogen, with two different factor reagents, have been used as adsorbent of phenol from liquid phase. Changes in the phenol content in the test solutions were monitored after subsequent intervals of adsorption with selected adsorbents prepared from organic materials. Significant effect of nitrogen present in the adsorbent material on its adsorption capacity was noted. Sorption capacity of these selected materials was found to depend on the time of use, their surface area, and pore distribution. A conformation to the most well-known adsorption isotherm models, Langmuir, and Freundlich ones, confirms the formation of mono- and heterolayer solute (phenol) coverage on the surface of the adsorbent applied herein. The materials proposed as adsorbents of the aqueous solution contaminants were proved effective, which means that the waste materials considered are promising activated carbon precursors for liquid phase adsorbents for the environmental protection.

The temperature field of firm crystal-amorphous structures receiption from liquid systems in the fluid bed is explored. The stable conducting terms of process are certain. Previous studies have shown that increasing the irrigation density increases the probability of formation of agglomerates, which causes a decrease in temperature; therefore, it is advisable to measure the temperature field in the environment of the dispersant and compare it with the values of temperatures at the characteristic point, according to which the regulation of the flow of liquid phase to the granulator is carried out. The objective of the experimental research was to determine the change of the temperature field in disperse systems in obtaining crystalline-amorphous solid structures in a fluidized-bed apparatus. In case of an increase in the amount of heat flow, an adequate increase in the flow of liquid phase occurs. This results in the local overturning of solid particles and, as a result, the formation of large aggregates and loss of quality of fluidization. To eliminate this disadvantage it is advisable to create conditions for uneven distribution of the coolant speed. In the downstream right and left fluxes, the coolant speed should not exceed the rate of gas filtration through the material. In the left upward flow, in which the direction of motion of the granular material is opposite to the direction of the vector of the linear velocity of the dispersed droplets of the liquid phase, it is expedient to increase the flow of the coolant in a direction that coincides with the downstream flow. To verify these provisions, it is expedient to conduct a study of the continuous process of formation of solid multilayer composites.

The goal of this study is to develop a miniaturized artificial muscle in which a tiny compressor can be installed. Pneumatic actuators, such as pneumatic artificial rubber muscles (PARMs), have been widely used in many industrial and robotic research applications because they are compact and lightweight. However, the compressors driving such actuators are relatively large. To solve this problem, the authors have been researching soft actuators driven by gas-liquid phase changes (GLPCs). In this study, a fixed chamber containing a constantan heater and fluorocarbon was used to generate pressure instead of a compressor. The pressure generation caused by the GLPC was confirmed, and a PARM contraction experiment was then conducted. Additionally, a PI control system was built to test the step and frequency responses of the actuator. A frequency response of up to 4.0 Hz was determined, and the corner frequency was found to be approximately 1.5 Hz. The size of the actuator was reduced by removing the chamber and installing the heater in the rubber muscle. A PARM driving experiment was conducted, and the performance of the PARM was evaluated. The miniaturized actuator consumes less power than the original actuator.

It is well known that rare-gas Xe atoms embedded in a crystalline Al matrix form precipitates having cuboctahedral shapes bounded by ﹛100﹜ and ﹛111﹜ surfaces1. Below a certain critical size, Xe precipitates are observed to be solid, even at room temperature. This is a result of the Laplace pressure, which is inversely proportional to the radius of the precipitate. Donnelly et al. reported that the critical size of Xe solidification was expected at 4nm in radius at room temperature.Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, it is possible to observe these particles directly. It has been demonstrated that under off-Bragg conditions, the Al lattice fringes are minimized whereas the Xe lattice fringes are maximized. From such observations, it was confirmed experimentally that the average critical size of Xe precipitates is around 4 to 5nm in radius. However, much larger Xe precipitates are sometime observed to remain solid.

In this research work, an electrical impedance spectroscopy technique has been developed to measure the solids concentration of slurry mixtures. This new measurement technique is based on the fact that the AC frequency responses of solids are distinct from those for the liquid phase. In this technique, the electrical impedance spectrum of slurry mixtures is measured over the frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz. Changes in the frequency response at different excitation signal amplitudes reflect changes in the slurry composition and the electrical conductivity of the liquid phase, and by analyzing the spectra using artificial intelligence data analysis techniques, such as Multiplayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network, one can determine the volumetric fraction of the solids phase. The technique has been successfully tested for various slurries under different conductivities of liquid phase and temperatures. In contrast with previous techniques based on conductivity or capacitance, this new technique can be used for on-line measurement of solids concentration in slurry streams even when the conductivity of the liquid phase changes substantially with time.
