Технологические и эксплуатационные свойства бетонных и растворных смесей формируются за счет правильного учета в их рецептуре таких показателей, как форма и характер поверхности зёрен, зерновой состав, межзерновая пустотность, водопотребность и предельный размер частиц. Поэтому для проектирования доброкачественного состава необходимо изучить влияние гранулометрического состава мелкого и крупного заполнителей на основные свойства бетонных и растворных смесей. В работе поставлена цель оптимизировать гранулометрический состав заполнителей. Работа выполнена в рамках исследований по реализации научного проекта № 18-48-200001 «Высококачественные бетоны с повышенными эксплуатационными свойствами на основе местного природного и техногенного сырья», получившего поддержку Российского фонда фундаменталь- ных исследований» (РФФИ). The technological and operational properties of concrete and mortar mixtures are formed due to the correct consideration in their formulation of indicators such as the shape and nature of the surface of the grains, grain composition, intergranularvoidness, water demand and maximum particle size. Therefore, to design a benign composition, it is necessary to study the effect of particle size distribution of small and large aggregates on the basic properties of concrete and mortar mixtures. The goal is to optimize the particle size distribution of aggregates. The work was implemented as part of research on the fulfillment of scientific project No. 18-48-200001 “High-quality concrete with enhanced performance properties based on local natural and secondary raw materials,” which received support from the Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research (RFFR).

In order to study the effect of particle size distribution on the critical state of rockfill, a series of large-scale triaxial tests on rockfill with different maximum particle sizes were performed. It was observed that the intercept and gradient of the critical state line in the e−p′ plane decreased as the grading broadened with the increase in particle size while the gradient of the critical state line in the p′−q plane increased as the particle size increased. A power law function is found to appropriately describe the relationship between the critical state parameters and maximum particle size of rockfill.

SummaryThe speed and duration of cutting the coagulum were varied during the commercial manufacture of Cheddar cheese in nine Damrow cheese vats on each of 3 consecutive days. The effects of the variations were assessed by determining the curd particle size distribution and fat and fines losses into the whey at draining. Short durations of cutting at slow speeds produced small curd particles and high fat losses into the whey. As the duration and/or speed of cutting was increased, average curd particle size increased while fat losses into the whey decreased. A maximum particle size and minimum fat level were reached after the Damrow's knife panels had completed approximately 37 revolutions. Further increases in speed and/or duration of cutting decreased curd particle size. Fat losses did not increase significantly. The hypothesis suggested to explain the results of these trials is that curd particle size is determined not by the cutting programme alone, but by a combination of the speed and duration of cutting and the subsequent speed of stirring prior to cooking. Fat losses in the whey are also influenced by this combination. Based on this hypothesis, a model is proposed which explains how variation in cutting speed and duration, followed by a constant stirring speed, determines curd particle size distribution in a Damrow cheese vat. Implications of the present findings in relation to cheese yield (losses of fat and fines into the whey) are discussed.

Cement manufacture is one of the major contributors (7–10%) to global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a vital technology for decarbonising the sector. Oxy-fuel combustion, involving burning fuel in a mixture of recycled CO2 and pure O2 instead of air, makes CO2 capture much easier. Since it combines a theoretically lower energy penalty with an increase in production, it is attractive as a CCS technology in cement plants. However, it is necessary to demonstrate that changes in the clinkering atmosphere do not reduce the quality of the clinker produced. Clinkers were successfully produced in an oxy-fuel atmosphere using only pure oxides as raw materials as well as a mixture of oxides and clay. Then, CEM I cements were prepared by the addition of 5 wt% gypsum to the clinkers. Quantitative XRD and XRF were used to obtain the phase and elemental compositions of the clinkers. The particle size distribution and compressive strength of the cements at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days' ages were tested, and the effect of the particle size distribution on the compressive strength was investigated. Additionally, the compressive strength of the cements produced in oxy-fuel atmospheres was compared with those of the cement produced in air and commercially available CEMEX CEM I. The results show that good-quality cement can be successfully produced in an oxy-fuel atmosphere and it has similar phase and chemical compositions to CEM I. Additionally, it has a comparable compressive strength to the cement produced in air and to commercially available CEMEX CEM I.
