Study Results

The cement-based grouting materials used for practical purposes in high-geothermal tunnels are inevitably affected by humidity and high temperature, leading to the deterioration of mechanical properties. Based on the characteristics of changing high temperatures and two typical conditions of hot-humid and hot-dry environments in high-geothermal tunnels, many mechanical strength tests were carried out on the grouting material cured under different environmental conditions. The study results indicated that high temperature and low relative humidity were unfavorable to the development of mechanical characteristics of grouting material, but the coupling effect of two factors could improve the strength at early ages and reduce the degradation of long-term strength. As the curing temperature exceeded 56.3 °C, the humidity effect on strength played a more important role in recovering the strength of grouting material damaged by high temperature. Temperature had more significant impact on the relative peak stress while the relative humidity had greater influence on the relative peak strain. A calculation compressive constitutive model was prospered, which considering both temperature and relative humidity. The study results may provide much valuable experimental data and theoretical supporting for the design of compression constitutive of cement-based grouting material in high-geothermal tunnel.

High Temperature Drying

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of kiln temperature, relative humidity and wood moisture content on the content of acid and alcohol released in the drying process of high temperature kiln by studying the radiated pine sawn timber of 40mm thickness. The drying temperature was between 101°C and 115°C, the relative humidity in the drying kiln was reduced from 86.1% to 39.6%, the moisture content of the lumber was reduced from 106.16% to 11.98%, and gas extraction was executed nine times with an extraction speed of 1.0 L•min-1 and a sampling time of 30 min. The concentrations of acids and alcohols were analyzed by HPLC. The results showed that the concentrations of formic acid, acetic acid, and methanol emitted in the kiln during drying were 215.6-748.2, 4148.8-16803.2, and 6381.9-15648.9 mg•m-3, respectively, and these concentrations were significantly higher than the relevant standards. The concentrations of the emitted formic acid and acetic acid were proportional to the drying temperature, the concentrations of the emitted formic acid and acetic acid were inversely proportional to the relative humidity in the kiln and the moisture content of the lumber. The concentration of the emitted methanol was independent of the drying temperature, relative humidity in the kiln, and moisture content of the lumber. It is therefore suggested that formic acid, acetic acid, and methanol be separately recovered during the high-temperature drying of Pinus radiata lumber.

Relative Humidity Effect

Na2ZrO3 was synthetized via solid-state and tested in a low temperature range (30–80 °C) for carbonation and decarbonation processes using RH values between 0 and 80%. Results confirm that it is possible to accomplish successively at least 8 cycles.
